Li Xuan stood at the bottom of the Heavenly Cave, attempting to sense the outside of the cave. Xu Yan, Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, and others also arrived at the Heavenly Cave and were curiously exploring.
Xu Yan was the first to absorb the extraordinary aura and observed it swirling in his palm.
Wu Tiannan and other powerful experts from the Spirit Domain also cautiously entered, their eyes filled with curiosity. How was this Heavenly Cave formed?
"There's something strange about this aura," Wu Tiannan frowned.
"Be careful, I feel that if we absorb this aura, it will linger in our bodies and might cause some trouble," Xin Mengrou solemnly reminded.
Li Xuan felt somewhat helpless. His strength had weakened, so he couldn't sense the situation outside of the world.
After all, he hadn't truly transcended the world.
"What kind of aura is this?"
The extraordinary aura condensed more and more on his palm, enveloping the entire hand.
Li Xuan furrowed his brows. His intuition told him that this aura was not simple. After all, it couldn't be refined and had a sense of eternal existence.
"Should I give it a try?"
Li Xuan's mind stirred as he looked at the Great Dao Golden Book on the Spirit Platform.
He obtained information about the Tai Cang Book Pattern from the Great Dao Golden Book. Could he also obtain information about this extraordinary aura?
However, the Great Dao Golden Book was on the Spirit Platform, and he needed to inject a strand of aura into the book through the Spirit Platform.
He couldn't guarantee what would happen when this strand of aura entered the Spirit Platform.
Because of this, Li Xuan hesitated.
On the other side, Xu Yan was also sensing this extraordinary aura.
"It's just a strand, it shouldn't cause any major problems."
In the end, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
This extraordinary aura couldn't be refined, but a mere strand shouldn't cause any major problems. Moreover, he possessed so many Divine Abilities, so he would definitely find a way to expel it.
With this in mind, Li Xuan carefully absorbed a strand of aura and incorporated it into his Spirit Platform.
To prevent any accidents, his Primordial Spirit had already retreated to a corner of the Spirit Platform, fully defending itself, while the Great Dao Golden Book stood in front of the Primordial Spirit.
As soon as the aura entered the Spirit Platform, Li Xuan immediately saw the Spirit Platform tremble slightly, as if it was affected by the aura, vaguely exuding a sense of eternal immortality.
However, Li Xuan didn't feel joy because of this. Instead, his heart sank because he found that the Spirit Platform had become heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on it.
There was also a feeling that, over time, the Spirit Platform wouldn't be able to bear it and would collapse.
"For Martial Artists in the Spirit Domain, once their souls are contaminated by this aura, it will be like a great mountain suppressing them, causing their souls to become muddled and their consciousness scattered."
Even with the strength of his Spirit Platform and the toughness of his Primordial Spirit, he still felt a sense of heaviness, let alone the souls of Martial Artists in the Spirit Domain.
The Great Dao Golden Book opened, and Li Xuan injected the strand of aura into it.
His gaze was fixed on the Great Dao Golden Book.
Golden light surged out, and the strand of aura was absorbed by the Great Dao Golden Book.
Information appeared on the pages of the Great Dao Golden Book:
"Qi of Non-Transformation, immortal and unchanging, chaotic and hazy, can only be transformed by the Great Dao and the opening of the world... When it enters the soul of a Martial Artist, their consciousness becomes scattered, muddled, and returns to an untransformed and unenlightened state..."
Qi of Non-Transformation!
Li Xuan was shocked as he read this. This Qi of Non-Transformation was extremely extraordinary.
Only when the Great Dao and the world were first opened would it be transformed into the source of the world, such as spiritual energy and so on.
Once it entered the soul of a Martial Artist, it would cause their consciousness to scatter and return to an untransformed and unenlightened state.
"This is the aura from outside the world?"
Li Xuan was amazed.

The Qi of Non-Transformation, if it could be used for cultivation, would undoubtedly be a treasure that could greatly enhance the strength of Martial Artists.
However, because it does not have the characteristic of transformation, Martial Artists cannot use it for cultivation.
"But it doesn't mean it can't be used. Just because the Tai Cang Martial Dao can't do it, doesn't mean my Martial Dao can't do it. Even if it can't be done now, I can come up with a method."
"Moreover, at the current stage of non-transformation, it can still be used as long as it doesn't merge with the Entering Spirit and the Primordial Spirit."
Li Xuan looked at the information given in the Great Dao golden book and his mind became active.
Non-transformed qi cannot be used to cultivate and improve one's cultivation level, but it can be used for Soul Refining.
Not only Divine Abilities, but also prohibitions and the like can be used.
Li Xuan divided the non-transformed qi in his hand into thin strands. With a flick of his finger, he used the non-transformed qi to create a prohibition, which fell into the bottom of the heavenly cave.
This was an attempt to use non-transformation luck in the prohibition.
Buzz!
As the non-transformed qi fell into the bottom of the heavenly cave in the form of a prohibition, in an instant, that area at the bottom of the heavenly cave seemed to be sealed off.
"Indeed, my idea was correct."
Li Xuan was secretly delighted. Just because the Tai Cang Martial Dao couldn't do it, didn't mean his Martial Dao couldn't do it.
The power of the Divine Origin was inherently more mysterious than the power of the Tai Cang Martial Dao.
The prohibition outlined by the non-transformed qi was stronger and more difficult to break through with violence, which was related to the characteristics of the non-transformed qi.
To break this seal, one must understand its secrets in order to unlock it. Otherwise, if one wanted to break it through violence, they would need to surpass the strength of the one who set the seal.
Li Xuan looked at the non-transformed qi pervading the heavenly cave. This non-transformed qi emerged from the bottom of the heavenly cave, and it didn't constantly flow out. When the non-transformed qi reached a certain quantity, it would maintain a balance and not continue to emerge.
Unless the non-transformed qi in the heavenly cave was consumed, it would continue to emerge to maintain a state of balance.
Moreover, the non-transformed qi would not flow out of the heavenly cave.
Taking a glance at Xu Yan, his eldest disciple was pondering the non-transformed qi, while Wu Tiannan and others were also curiously exploring the heavenly cave.
"Once the non-transformed qi enters the divine soul, it will disperse consciousness, return to an unenlightened state, and become a state of unopened wisdom..."
Li Xuan reminded them.
"Non-transformed qi?"
Xu Yan was curious and said, "Master, I feel that the non-transformed qi seems to be special. It's as if it can't be refined, but it's also extraordinary..."
The others were all shocked and quickly restrained their minds, afraid of inhaling the non-transformed qi.
"The non-transformed qi has many uses. Although it can't be refined like spiritual qi to improve one's cultivation level, it can be used for Soul Refining, setting up prohibitions, and so on..."
Li Xuan briefly explained.
He didn't continue to explain the rest, leaving it for his disciples to ponder.
"There are such benefits?"
Fang Hao was delighted and began to take out jars, preparing to collect the non-transformed qi.
"Can it be used for alchemy?"
Su Lingxiu's eyes lit up.
"It can, and it can't."
Li Xuan said calmly, not making a definitive statement.
He suddenly thought of his Divine Ability, the Martial Dao Divine Ability of the Ten Thousand Paths Divine Furnace. It could refine the ten thousand paths of heaven and earth, so he wondered if it could refine the non-transformed qi.
In theory, if it could refine the Dao, why not the non-transformed qi?
The non-transformed qi only transforms when the Great Dao or the world is first opened. The Ten Thousand Paths Divine Furnace, which can refine the ten thousand paths of heaven and earth, theoretically should be able to refine the non-transformed qi as well.
"It should be possible, but with my current strength, using the Ten Thousand Paths Divine Furnace is not enough to refine the non-transformed qi."
Li Xuan made a judgment in his mind.
Xu Yan and the others were collecting the non-transformed qi in preparation for Soul Refining.
The Martial Artists from the Lingyu Realm, such as Wu Tiannan, were helpless in this regard. They couldn't make use of it at all, and they didn't even know what Divine Abilities were.
In the Lingyu Martial Dao, there had never been any mention of Divine Abilities.

Li Xuan walked in the heavenly cave, and suddenly, he kicked something under his foot.
The heavenly cave appears to be a cave, but in reality, it is a dark and gray place with no presence of plants or anything of the sort. The walls of the heavenly cave are smooth and seem to be untouched by dust.
At this moment, Li Xuan kicked something, which piqued his curiosity.
He lowered his head to take a look and saw a fist-sized, gray-black stone.
"This stone seems to be special."
Li Xuan made a gesture and the stone fell into his palm.
Although it was the size of a fist, it weighed no less than a mountain.
Moreover, this stone seemed to possess an immortal quality, giving off a sense of immortality.
"A stone that does not decay?"
Li Xuan silently put the stone away.
After returning, he planned to try melting the stone with the Divine Furnace, to see if it could be melted.
"With my current level, I probably won't be able to melt a stone that does not decay. When I can melt a stone that does not decay, it means I can melt the immortality within it."
Li Xuan muttered to himself.
Inside the heavenly cave, besides this stone that does not decay, there was nothing special except for the immortality.
As Xu Yan and the others continued to collect the immortality, the bottom of the heavenly cave also began to be filled with immortality.
"What is the difference between the heavenly cave ruins where the geniuses went and this place?"
Wu Tiannan looked at Xin Mengrou curiously and asked.
"The heavenly cave ruins are very ancient. No one knows exactly when they came into existence. The heavenly cave ruins are much larger than this place.
"The Spirit Realm is a place where divine objects exist. Apart from a few places in the Azure Sea, the heavenly cave ruins are the only places in the Eighteen Provinces where divine objects exist.
"Moreover, the divine objects inside the heavenly cave ruins are quite special. The materials needed to forge Divine Weapons are all excavated from the heavenly cave ruins.
"However, after countless explorations, the current heavenly cave ruins probably don't hold much opportunity anymore."
Xin Mengrou explained.
The heavenly cave ruins in the Spirit Realm were a secret of the transcendent Lingzong. Although the number of entries was limited each time, after numerous explorations, there were no longer any opportunities left in the heavenly cave ruins.
Xu Yan, who was collecting the immortality, spoke up, "It's a good opportunity to go and see what the difference is between those ruins in the Spirit Realm and this heavenly cave."
Li Xuan was also curious about the difference between the heavenly cave ruins in the Spirit Realm and this place.
In this heavenly cave, there was the powerful presence of Mei Wu. Did the ruins in the other place also have similar powerful beings that were suppressed and turned into ruins?
"That heavenly cave still has the possibility of being infiltrated and must be sealed."
Li Xuan thought to himself.
If his guess was correct, Mei Wu was an enemy from beyond the heavens and had infiltrated through the heavenly cave. Even if Mei Wu died, there might still be other beings from beyond the heavens infiltrating the Entering Spirit Realm.
And the strength of the Spirit Realm was relatively weak and definitely unable to deal with enemies like Mei Wu.
So, while Li Xuan walked at the bottom of the heavenly cave, he manipulated the immortality to form a seal, sealing the bottom of the heavenly cave.
Xu Yan and the others had collected enough immortality and stopped collecting.
"What is Master doing?"
Meng Chong asked curiously.
"Sealing the heavenly cave!"
Fang Hao said without turning his gaze away.
Master was using the immortality to create a seal, sealing the bottom of the heavenly cave!
"So, the immortality can be used like this."
Fang Hao's mind became more active.
"Thanks to the senior's help, otherwise the Spirit Realm would be in danger."
Wu Tiannan sighed and lamented.
"Is sealing the bottom of the Heavenly Abyss meant to prevent the appearance of beings similar to Enchantresses?"
"It should be."

After sealing the bottom of the Heavenly Abyss, apart from the non-transforming aura, which can flow in, any other power will be blocked and sealed outside.
Li Xuan turned the jade ruyi in his hand and walked towards the exit of the Heavenly Abyss.
There is nothing of value left in the Heavenly Abyss.
The crisis in the Ice Province Heavenly Abyss has been resolved.
Back at Evergreen Pavilion, Li Xuan remained relaxed as he sat on a chair, his mind contemplating the future direction of Martial Dao and some speculations beyond the heavens and earth.
Xu Yan and his brothers also returned to Evergreen Pavilion one after another.
Wu Tiannan and others also emerged from the Heavenly Abyss. Xin Mengrou, Da Zhou Huang, and others dispatched elders to Yun Province and Da Ze Province to handle this calamity.
"The competition among the geniuses has already concluded. Now, let's set off for the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss."
Fu Tianhai spoke in a deep voice.
"I agree!"
Lei Yun Zhuangzhu nodded.
The others had no objections, and so did Qianwu Hall's Lord.
After this incident, Qianwu Hall's Lord and other powerful individuals became low-key and no longer dared to mention their conflicts with Xu Yan.
They were even afraid of being targeted by Xu Yan.
They even privately sought negotiations with Fang Hao.
In the Lingyu Realm, there is such a powerful figure, and Fang Hao, the Young Master of the Eternal Alliance, is also a disciple of a powerful figure. The change in the Lingyu Realm's situation is already a certainty.
If they continue to provoke the powerful figure, Qianwu Hall will surely be destroyed.
It must be noted that even the Heavenly Venerable was killed by the Enchantress, and the Enchantress, who was even stronger than when she killed the Heavenly Venerable, was annihilated with a wave of the powerful figure's hand.
The disparity is truly too great.
The matters in Yun Province, Ice Province, and Da Ze Province will naturally be handled by the various spiritual sects, and the Eternal Alliance will also participate.
As one of the top four geniuses on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking, Xu Yan and his three brothers naturally had to enter the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss, and all four of them were very curious about the Heavenly Abyss in the Lingyu Realm.
They wanted to take a look and see how it differed from the Ice Province Heavenly Abyss.
The flying boat left Ice Province and, led by Fu Tianhai, headed towards the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss.
The ruins of the Heavenly Abyss in the Lingyu Realm are located in Hongzhou, tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield where the geniuses fought.
"The ruins of the Heavenly Abyss can only be entered after a certain period of time. Although it is still a bit early to enter the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss, we can open it in advance."
Arriving at the location of the Heavenly Abyss, beneath the cliff, Fu Tianhai explained.
"This is the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss?"
Li Xuan saw the location of the Heavenly Abyss at a glance. This particular ruins of the Heavenly Abyss was created by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and locking the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss with the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
And every once in a while, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would slightly diffuse, the power of the laws of heaven and earth would relax, and the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss would appear.
This was a man-made seal.
Only a Martial Artist above the Heavenly Venerable level could achieve this.
"The methods arranged by Martial Artists above the Heavenly Venerable level."
Li Xuan understood in his heart.
With a flick of his finger, the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss appeared.
This was a Heavenly Abyss that was more than ten times larger than the one in Ice Province, and this was just the entrance.
"Let's go in."
Li Xuan said calmly.
The flying boat flew directly into the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss, and Fu Tianhai, Da Zhou Huang, and others could only hurriedly follow. As for the rule that only geniuses could enter, they simply ignored it.
After all, breaking the rules did not apply to themselves and others.
Moreover, the so-called rules were ineffective against powerful individuals. The rules of powerful individuals were the true rules.
