Before, he accepted disciples because of the Heaven-Endowed Witch Pattern.

However, Wu Yuan's performance was satisfying, far beyond his expectations.

After a moment of contemplation.

"Hou Qu, bring Wu Yuan to see me," Kua Chi Witch Lord's divine sense moved, conveying the order to Hou Qu Star Lord.

...

In the Fifth Original Witch Realm, within the Origin Tower.

"Becoming a Heaven-Rank member."

"Other reward resources are secondary; the key is this Sub-Legendary Rank treasure." Wu Yuan sat cross-legged, silently contemplating, "I hope this application can be approved."

Why was Wu Yuan so eager for this treasure?

For the physical incarnation, there was already the Boundary Tree, making it challenging to find a better foundational treasure.

The Witch Realm probably couldn't provide one.

But for the Qi Refining incarnation, it was different.

Breaking through from a third-grade immortal foundation to a second-grade immortal foundation through normal means? Almost impossible.

"And."

"Even if the application is approved, I still have to visit Hou Qu Star Lord." Wu Yuan pondered.

Master?

Although he had accepted a master, in reality, Wu Yuan had no means of contacting Kua Chi Witch Lord. He could only contact Jiang Huan Senior Brother and Hou Qu Star Lord.

Suddenly.

"Hum~" a massive aura descended, shrouding the entire Immortal Island. Following that, a voice echoed in Wu Yuan's mind, "Wu Yuan."

"Hou Qu Star Lord?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.

Boom!

Wu Yuan directly rushed out of the Origin Tower.

At this moment, Cen Jiang and other Refining Void Realm servants also sensed the aura. They flew out of their respective residences, kneeling in fear.

Invisible pressure.

"Star Lord." Wu Yuan bowed slightly. The newcomer was the robust figure of Hou Qu Star Lord clad in battle armor.

"Come with me."

Hou Qu Star Lord waved his hand, enveloping Wu Yuan with an invisible force. The two quickly left the Immortal Island.

Leaving behind a group of bewildered servants.

"At the beginning, the master was personally sent by the Star Lord. It's been so long, why does the Star Lord want to see the master again?"

"Could it be that the master is a disciple of the Star Lord?"

"Possibly." Several Refining Void Realm servants whispered.

"Quiet all of you." Cen Jiang scolded in a low voice.

She was also quite puzzled, feeling that her master was very mysterious.

Initially, Jiang Huan, a figure comparable to a Star Lord, frequently came here.

Now, the Star Lord summons the master again?

...

Hou Qu Star Lord carried Wu Yuan along.

"Wu Yuan, your performance is excellent. You've become a Heaven-Rank member so quickly, although it's only in the Fifth Original Witch Realm, it's still remarkable." Hou Qu Star Lord smiled, "The Witch Lord personally instructed me to bring you to see him."

"Master?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Quite rare."

"Haha, actually, the Witch Lord rarely interferes with the disciples' affairs, mostly letting you venture on your own. Like your Senior Brother Jiang Huan, he was placed in the Original Witch Realm for several hundred years before being summoned again," said Hou Qu Star Lord with a laugh. "You are a special case."

"Oh?" Wu Yuan's mind stirred.

He had a vague guess that his Master's summons might be related to the foundational treasure he applied for.

Before long.

This time, instead of taking Wu Yuan to the temple as before, Hou Qu Star Lord tore through layers of space and arrived in a vast and desolate world.

"So many mythical beasts." Wu Yuan quickly sensed the uniqueness of this world.

Swiftly.

The two landed on a vast wilderness, where Kua Chi Witch Lord, dressed in beast-hide clothes, sat calmly on the grass.

Not far away, there were also quite a few mythical beasts.

"Witch Lord." Hou Qu Star Lord landed, respectfully saying, "Wu Yuan is here."

"Master." Wu Yuan also bowed respectfully.

"Hou Qu, there's something for you to handle," Kua Chi Witch Lord said softly, flipping his palm to reveal a storage bracelet. "Take this treasure and go to the Scarlet Moon Immortal Island."

"Just remember."

"Don't let anyone discover it."

"I've already transmitted the specific requirements to you through the witch realm communication. You can go down now," Kua Chi Witch Lord instructed directly.

"Yes." Although Hou Qu Star Lord was puzzled, he still respectfully took the storage bracelet and quickly left this world.

Leaving behind Wu Yuan and Kua Chi Witch Lord.

"The storage bracelet from just now contains the foundational treasure chosen by me for your Qi Refining incarnation," Kua Chi Witch Lord said with a faint smile.

"It's a Sub-Legendary Rank treasure that suits your Qi Refining incarnation very well."

Chapter 314: Mountains, Rivers, and Purple Mansion (Additional Chapter for 20,000 Monthly Votes)

Above the wilderness, a gentle breeze rustled through, distant mountains rose and fell, countless mythical beasts grazed, leisurely and carefree, resembling a picturesque scene.

"In the Blood Refinement Temporal Space, you should have obtained a Legendary-grade treasure, right?" Kua Chi Witch Lord said.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Did Master also know about this?

"I know more than you think. The waters of the Blood Refinement Temporal Space are deeper than you imagine," Kua Chi Witch Lord smiled slightly. "However, normally, the fortuitous treasures you can obtain from it should be tailored to your own needs."

Wu Yuan nodded.

In the treasure area of the Blood Refinement Temporal Space, out of nearly a hundred treasures, only four resonated with him.

However, at that time, the fragment of bone he sensed seemed like a terrifying item, the black tower seemed to reveal its power, and he fell into a coma.

Upon waking up, he strangely obtained two fortuitous treasures.

"Bring them out. Let me take a look," Kua Chi Witch Lord said.

"Sure." Wu Yuan nodded. Since even the Master knew, there was no need to hide anything. With a thought, two streams of light flew out of Wu Yuan's body – one was a small sapling entirely green, although its life force wasn't strong, it emitted an incredibly pure life origin aura.

The other was the mysterious silver triangular prism crystal.

"Hmm? Two items?" Kua Chi Witch Lord, who originally didn't pay much attention, was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but look at Wu Yuan in surprise.

"Yes." Wu Yuan said naturally.

"Unusual. The Blood Refinement Temporal Space is known for being stingy, yet it's willing to offer you two Legendary-grade treasures?" Kua Chi Witch Lord chuckled.

He thought of more. The Blood Refinement Temporal Space provided so many treasures to Wu Yuan, but in a blink, they sent him away?

As if they were sending away a plague god.

"I don't know either." Wu Yuan shook his head.

"Your two treasures."

Kua Chi Witch Lord's gaze fell on the two items. "This is the World Tree, a rare sapling. It's uncommon but not considered very precious."

"Not very precious?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned and couldn't help saying, "Master, this is a sapling of the World Tree."

"A sapling of the World Tree, so what?"

Kua Chi Witch Lord smiled, "Indeed, similar treasures are extremely precious to ordinary cultivators. For ordinary celestial lords and star masters, it's wishful thinking to obtain such treasures through conventional means. Like the small sects you cultivate with your Qi Refining incarnation, it's impossible for them to have foundational treasures like this."

"However, for me, it's nothing special, just a sapling." Kua Chi Witch Lord said indifferently, "If it were a mature World Tree, it might be interesting."

Wu Yuan fell silent.

He understood. It wasn't that the sapling of the World Tree wasn't precious; it was just ordinary for Kua Chi Witch Lord.

Different strength levels, different perspectives.

For Kua Chi Witch Lord standing at the pinnacle of the Great Realm, even the smallest glimpse of a star was enough to provide infinite benefits to ordinary celestial lords and star masters.

Let alone someone like him.

"The sapling of the World Tree can only be considered a Legendary-grade treasure, but it is the best foundational treasure and very suitable for you," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "The trace of origin power it contains will make it easier for you to advance to the first-level Witch Foundation in the future."

"The earlier you prepare, the better."

Wu Yuan listened.

First-level Witch Foundation?

In theory, there was a possibility of improving the foundation with each breakthrough to a new realm.

On one hand, the stronger one's strength, the more difficult it was to improve the foundation.

It was like a house. When it was first built, reinforcing the foundation was possible. The higher it was built, the harder it was to make changes to the foundation.

On the other hand, the stronger the foundation, the closer to perfection, the more difficult it was to improve.

At least, unless it was a 'first-level innate foundation,' it was difficult to step into the first-level foundation at the stage of Mountains, Rivers, and Purple Mansion, almost impossible.

Only theoretically possible.

Even Legendary-grade treasures couldn't achieve that.

"A few Legendary-grade treasures are considered the most powerful treasures you guys at this level can use. Stronger ones? Even if given to you, you wouldn't be able to use them," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "The nine lifebound flying swords of your Qi Refining incarnation are highlights. Ninety-nine percent of 'second-level Immortal Foundations' don't have this kind of fortune."

"However, for the Qi Refining incarnation to advance from the third-level foundation to the first-level Immortal Foundation, it must be done step by step. This time, the one I've chosen for you contains a trace of the wood's origin. In terms of preciousness, it's slightly inferior to the World Tree but gentler."

"Compared to what you chose yourself, it's more suitable for you," Kua Chi Witch Lord said.

"Thank you, Master," Wu Yuan expressed sincere gratitude.

This is the benefit of having a Master, guiding the best path and laying the best foundation when one is weak.

"As for your other Legendary-grade treasure," Kua Chi Witch Lord casually looked at the triangular prism crystal, which emitted no special aura.

So, at first glance, it seemed very ordinary.

Far less impressive than the World Tree.

But as Kua Chi Witch Lord swept his eyes over it, his gaze couldn't move away. After a moment of surprise, he finally revealed a smile. "Excellent! Very good!"

"Wu Yuan."

"Indeed, this treasure is in harmony with you. This is great fortune, as if there's divine assistance in the dark," Kua Chi Witch Lord exclaimed.

Wu Yuan was stunned, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Even the World Tree just now didn't receive such praise from the Master.

Could it be that this silver triangular prism crystal, which he couldn't see through, is a treasure far surpassing the World Tree?

"The World Tree still has some usefulness for me, but it." Kua Chi Witch Lord pointed at the silver triangular prism crystal and smiled, "It has no use for me at all."

Wu Yuan was bewildered.

If it has no use at all, why is the Master so happy?

"However."

"Even a hundred or even a thousand saplings of the World Tree would be difficult to exchange for this treasure," Kua Chi Witch Lord said solemnly. "It's enough to drive countless celestial lords and star masters crazy."

Wu Yuan was astonished.

So precious?

Driving countless celestial lords and star masters crazy?

"In theory, the Blood Refinement Temporal Space allows you to use it only once. Why should the original item be handed over to you?" Kua Chi Witch Lord smiled. "However, since it has come into your hands, it's your fortune and also the fortune of our Witch Realm."

Wu Yuan became increasingly confused.

Use it only once? Does this silver triangular prism crystal have a usage limit?

"It is called the 'Book of True Realm.' It contains an unparalleled legacy left by an ancient powerful being, crafted with endless effort," Kua Chi Witch Lord waved, and the silver triangular prism crystal fell into his palm.

Kua Chi Witch Lord slowly said, "Your Qi Refining incarnation obtained the imprint of the 'Stellar Code,' right?"

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded.

"The 'Stellar Code' was spread by the great being 'Kua Fu' of our Witch Clan. However, the spiritual imprints contained in this legacy are very weak. The further you go, the weaker the guidance effect will be for you," Kua Chi Witch Lord said softly.

Wu Yuan nodded.

Indeed, since stepping into the True Intention Realm of the Stellar Way, he could feel the guidance effect of the 'Stellar Code' rapidly weakening.

Or, it wasn't that the guidance effect of the code was weak; it was that Wu Yuan's understanding of the Stellar Way was becoming deeper.

"And this 'Book of True Realm' is a treasure similar to the 'Stellar Code' legacy. Its one-time legacy opportunity is more precious than the 'Stellar Code' by more than a hundred times. Moreover, this is the original, even more precious than a one-time legacy opportunity."

"In the endless long years, it continues to pass down legacies without end."

Wu Yuan instantly understood that the legacy opportunity his Qi Refining incarnation obtained from the 'Stellar Code' was a one-time occurrence and was already very precious.

"Already very precious! The Dragon Star Immortal Sect's founder placed it in the sect, and it can only be passed down once. Many generations of Refining Void Protectors and Earth Immortal Elders wanted to obtain it but couldn't."

"As for this Book of True Realm, is it originally something that allows continuous legacies?"

It can be said.

This silver triangular prism crystal can completely become the cornerstone of a major power. Its value is naturally unimaginable.

Wu Yuan also understood why the Master said it was useless to him.

Indeed, it is useless.

For a Master of his level, these kinds of legacy instructions probably have minimal or even no effect.

"The Book of True Realm requires at least tens of millions of years to condense the imprint of that powerful being," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "That is, it takes at least tens of millions of years for one legacy."

"Now, it can be used once."

"And you, as long as you use it once, after you use it, I will take it back. If you want to go back in the future when crossing the tribulation, I will give it to you again."

"But if you don't use it, then I won't take advantage of you. I will give you a treasure of comparable value."

"Are you willing?" Kua Chi Witch Lord looked at Wu Yuan.

With his temperament, it's rare for him to actively ask Wu Yuan.

"I'm willing," Wu Yuan said respectfully.

Joke, does he have a choice? The Master's question is just giving him face.

Moreover.

Wu Yuan doesn't believe that the Master would deceive him. It would be meaningless. If he wanted to forcibly take it, he could. Besides, he already got one legacy opportunity.

What's the point of keeping it?

Thousands of years later? He has only lived for a few decades. What will the situation be like tens of millions of years later, who knows?

However, Wu Yuan was also puzzled.

Such a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation, why did the Blood Refinement Temporal Space easily give it to him?

"Originally, I thought that the path I was about to arrange for you would not have even a one-in-a-hundred chance of success," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "However, with this Book of True Realm, you should have a one-in-a-hundred chance."

One-in-a-hundred chance?

Wu Yuan was puzzled, what is it?

"Wu Yuan, I have re-examined your past and your cultivation over the past three years. You are more outstanding than I imagined," Kua Chi Witch Lord said softly. "Your speed of enlightenment is not fast, even with the 'Stellar Divine Body.' Among many top-tier geniuses, you can only be considered ordinary."

"Like many of your senior brothers, almost each of them has a median Law Dao Body."

"A very small number even cultivate two main bodies, and both main bodies are median Law Dao Bodies, equivalent to a double median Law Dao Body," Kua Chi Witch Lord smiled.

Wu Yuan listened in amazement.

Indeed, his talent is among the top in the Fifth Original Witch Realm, ranking first by far.

However, placed among the millions of geniuses in the five major Original Witch Realms, he is probably only in the top dozens.

"However."

"The speed of enlightenment is only one aspect of talent. Some of your senior brothers, after crossing the tribulation, are already Star Lords. After billions of years, they are still trapped at the Star Lord level without breaking through."

"Is it because the speed of enlightenment is not enough?"

"Your temperament is very good, much better than your senior brother Chang Hong." Kua Chi Witch Lord said, "Even under pressure, your mind can remain calm and unwavering, following your own path."

"That's good."

"Your tenacity is very strong. This kind of tenacity will make your cultivation path more stable, especially when facing bottlenecks, it will be easier to break through." Kua Chi Witch Lord said calmly.

When he first accepted Wu Yuan as a disciple, he habitually gave Wu Yuan some setbacks, wanting to temper his character.

But after this period of time, after careful observation, he found that this disciple he accepted didn't have the slightest arrogance.

Whether tempering through setbacks is important or not.

"Thank you for the Master's praise," Wu Yuan said respectfully.

"Wu Yuan, for my disciples who have not yet crossed the tribulation, I will guide them onto an extremely powerful path and give them an opportunity," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "However, the number of successful ones is few."

"The most successful are two. One is your third senior brother, but unfortunately, he has fallen."

"The other is your ninth senior brother, who now has nearly monarch-level combat power."

Wu Yuan listened with a sense of expectation.

Opportunities given by the Master?

"Your senior brothers Chang Hong and Jiang Huan, I also gave them opportunities," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "However, your senior brother Chang Hong failed directly."

"Your senior brother Jiang Huan took the first step, but has not fully succeeded yet. He has become the contemporary 'Top Witch,' killing ordinary Celestial Immortals like slaughtering chickens."

Wu Yuan's blood boiled upon hearing this.

Senior brother Jiang Huan, killing Celestial Immortals like slaughtering chickens?

How powerful is that, and this is just a partial success?

"Now, I'm giving you a similar opportunity," Kua Chi Witch Lord said, turning his palm.

In the palm of his hand appeared a crystal-clear silver sphere.

The surface of the sphere had numerous intricate patterns, but it also seemed to have mysterious fluctuations.

"This?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.

"When your body's main incarnation breaks through to the ninth level of Mountain and River, set aside some mental focus while practicing the Stellar Path, and try to comprehend it," Kua Chi Witch Lord said softly.

"I'm giving you three hundred years."

"Within three hundred years, if you gain something, if you can grasp it, it will prove that you have talent in this area."

"If you gain nothing within three hundred years, then don't force it. Continue to comprehend the Stellar Path step by step, and in the future, you will still be able to cross the tribulation and become a Heavenly Witch," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "Come see me again when you comprehend something."

"Three hundred years?" Wu Yuan thought.

It sounds like a long time.

But from the cultivation years of the two senior brothers, it is understood that as cultivation progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve success.

"Additionally."

"I know you have the intention of exploring."

"But after you reach the ninth level of the Mountain and River Realm, first cultivate various source techniques. Achieve something first before going out to explore, especially the 'Heavenly Tier Source Techniques'; consider it carefully," Kua Chi Witch Lord said.

"Disciple understands," Wu Yuan nodded.

Entering the Mountain and River Realm, a second-tier foundation for the Body Refinement cultivator, the Divine Palace becomes even more powerful. One can further cultivate a high-level source technique and a Heavenly Tier source technique.

Any Heavenly Tier source technique is considered a great divine ability, a weapon for battling opponents of higher realms!

Naturally, it needs to be handled with care.

"Sharpen the knife without cutting wood, with your current status, you should have attracted the attention of the Thunder Feather Shrine," Kua Chi Witch Lord said. "In the Original Witch Realm, you are safe, but once you leave the Cangfeng Continent, the danger will be considerable."

"This is the Crystal Source Liquid, I'll give it to you as well."

"When you are ready to leave the Original Witch Realm, come see me again," Kua Chi Witch Lord said, flipping his palm, and a green jade bottle flew towards Wu Yuan.

"Yes," Wu Yuan said respectfully, taking the green jade bottle.

In an instant.

A invisible shroud enveloped Wu Yuan, along with the small tree-like World Tree and the silver sphere, all disappearing from this desolate wilderness.

"Really unexpected."

"That person fell years ago, and I, in the long years of the Cangfeng Witch Realm, painstakingly collected two Books of True Realm," Kua Chi Witch Lord smiled faintly. "My disciple unexpectedly obtained one again?"

He waved his hand.

With a crash, the originally calm space was torn apart, revealing a mysterious corner. In that dim space, there were various treasures emitting powerful auras.

Swish!

The silver triangular crystal flew in and quickly landed in one of the areas, alongside two similar triangular crystals.

They are all the heritage of the Cangfeng Witch Realm.

"Having such a great benefit."

"Looks like my disciple should make good use of it." Kua Chi Witch Lord doesn't like owing favors, even to disciples.

Thinking of this.

"Later, come back," he thought.

"I missed something, bring it back together."

...

In the fifth original witch realm, within the Origin Tower of the Void Continent.

"A single thought, and the master brought it back for me?" Wu Yuan thought, his gaze on the silver sphere in front of him.

"The triangular crystal was taken away by the master, and he didn't say when he would let me accept the inheritance."

"However, can this silver sphere put me on an incredibly powerful path? What kind of path?" Wu Yuan pondered.

The master did not explicitly say.

But Wu Yuan understood that this was just an opportunity. Many senior brothers and sisters in the past had talent, but many couldn't seize the opportunity.

The difficulty is undoubtedly unbelievably high.

"Let's try." Wu Yuan carefully observed the silver sphere and felt the special silver patterns.

It contained a mysterious charm!

Time passed, a whole day.

"Gain nothing, completely incomprehensible." Wu Yuan frowned. He felt as if he was facing a heavenly book.

Simply couldn't understand!

"Not right."

"The master said to reach the ninth level of the Mountain and River Realm before re-comprehending. Wu Yuan thought, "If that's the case, there must be a reason."

"First step into the Mountain and River Realm."

Wu Yuan closed his eyes.

"Hoo!"

In the quite spacious Divine Palace, the vital force of life surged. A huge serpent swam within it.

A small green sapling also floated on the force of life.

"Buzz~" Countless light dots gathered, and the figure formed by Wu Yuan's divine consciousness appeared in this Divine Palace.

"Master." Little Black immediately sensed Wu Yuan's divine consciousness.

"Well, Little Black, I'm about to break through?" Wu Yuan asked. He was very aware that his master's understanding of the Dao was extremely advanced.

It could have been broken through long ago.

It was just because he stayed for some time to comprehend the mysteries of the ninth level of the Life Transformation realm.

"Stellar! True Meaning! Divine Palace transforms into Mountains and Rivers." Wu Yuan's thoughts moved, and his divine consciousness immediately set the Divine Palace into motion.

"Forming Mountains and Rivers."

"Boom~" Countless life forces immediately surged, and vortexes rapidly condensed, forming purer streams of life force.

Wu Yuan had already deduced the methods and steps of crossing from the Life Transformation realm to the Mountain and River Realm countless times.

It was simply not difficult!

"Whoosh~" Within Wu Yuan's body, suddenly, a drop of crystal-clear Divine Crystal Source Liquid flew out of the green jade bottle.

Each drop of Divine Crystal Source Liquid contained incredible energy, rapidly entering Wu Yuan's skin and being absorbed by the Divine Palace through the meridians.

Why is Divine Crystal Source Liquid precious?

It is the essence of the creation of heaven and earth, even if the heavenly witch and gods absorb it, there is no hindrance, transforming into the vital force of life, true yuan, and magical power without any burden.

Even the geniuses in the original witch realm, more than 99%, cannot receive the bestowal of Divine Crystal Source Liquid. Most of them only cultivate with 'Divine Crystals.'

Splashing~

In the Divine Palace within Wu Yuan's body, surges of pure source power emerged, purer than before by dozens of times.

Even with Divine Crystal Source Liquid, it took nearly half an hour for all the source power in the Divine Palace to complete the transformation.

At this moment.

Wu Yuan felt as if the Divine Palace was about to explode, unable to withstand such a surging and vast force of life.

"Explode!" Wu Yuan's divine consciousness pushed and guided.

Boom!

As if creating heaven and earth, an overwhelming burst of life force erupted instantly.

The entire Divine Palace underwent a revolutionary change.

Boom, rumble~ The originally real space 'Divine Palace' rapidly opened up, forming a real world of mountains and rivers, vast land, lakes, mountains, valleys, soil, and more.

Mountains and rivers within a thousand miles.

"I heard that if the ninth-level foundation is breakthrough, it will be a hundred miles of mountains and rivers." Wu Yuan thought, "If the legendary first-level immortal foundation breakthrough, it will be five thousand five hundred miles of mountains and rivers."

Five thousand five hundred miles represent a limit, perfection of the operation of the laws of heaven and earth.

Only a first-level immortal foundation can achieve this.

"Unfortunately, mountains and rivers have no spirituality." Wu Yuan's divine consciousness wandered through the mountains and rivers.

This vast area of mountains and rivers lacked vitality, not even any plants. Everything seemed lifeless.

Only by entering the Holy Domain Realm could the internal mountains and rivers undergo fundamental changes, but they still couldn't sustain life.

Starting from the Mountain and River Realm, progressing through the Holy Domain Realm, Dharma Realm, and Universe-Creation Realm, it was a process of gradual evolution of the internal mountains and rivers.

Until transcending the tribulation to become a Heavenly Witch.

Only then could the mountains and rivers become completely real and independent of heaven and earth.

"However, the stronger the internal mountains and rivers, the stronger the suppression from heaven and earth, and the more intense the rejection." Wu Yuan faintly sensed the suppression from heaven and earth.

Invisible forces of heaven and earth were slowly eroding the origin of the internal mountains and rivers. This erosion was very weak.

Like a chronic poison.

However, Wu Yuan couldn't eradicate this erosion in any way, not even slow it down.

"It will take about ten thousand years for the internal origin of the mountains and rivers to be completely eroded." Wu Yuan quickly estimated the approximate time.

The internal mountains and rivers were unique to body-refining practitioners, absolutely under control!

It was like the human body, rejecting and killing foreign cells.

For the vast heaven and earth, the rules extended to every corner. For the body-refining practitioner's internal mountains and rivers, which they could not control, they would naturally reject, suppress, and erode.

In reality.

Like the Holy Domain Realm, Dharma Realm, each of their bodies was powerful, almost immortal, and theoretically, their lifespan could be extended to an incredible level.

Why then a lifespan of only thirty thousand or ninety thousand years?

In essence.

It was the continuous erosion of the internal mountains and rivers by the heaven and earth!

"Must become a Heavenly Witch, let the internal mountains and rivers evolve into reality, form their own rules, flawless and perfect, to resist the erosion and pressure of the vast heaven and earth." Wu Yuan understood, "Only then can one truly live forever."

"Boundary Tree."

Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the small sapling in the distance.

Over the years, he had nurtured it using the Divine Palace, and they had long communicated with each other.

It should be noted that although the constructed tree was an supreme existence, the transformed branches of the boundary tree itself had no wisdom.

At least.

The young boundary tree had no wisdom, only some instinct of plant life.

"Mountains and rivers, Boundary Tree, combine." Wu Yuan's thoughts moved, and immediately, the boundary tree was planted into the open land.

Immediately!

"Whoosh~" The Boundary Tree began to grow rapidly. As a naturally born wood spirit, it excelled in adapting to various spaces. Even the incomplete mountains and rivers could adapt to it, making the entire landscape more perfect.

"Boom, rumble~" Divine Crystal Source Liquid appeared, quickly transforming into a vast life force.

With the infusion of source power, the Boundary Tree became more stable, further expanding the entire landscape.

A thousand miles, fifteen hundred miles, two thousand miles... eventually, the entire internal mountains and rivers stabilized at three thousand six hundred miles.

At the same time.

The Boundary Tree also grew to a hundred miles in height, with lush branches and leaves. Its roots penetrated every corner of the internal mountains and rivers.

Whoosh~ Around the Boundary Tree was a vast expanse of ocean, and that seawater... all of it was life force.

"Boss."

"Feeling good." A giant serpent occasionally roamed in the vast ocean, sometimes resting on the towering Boundary Tree.

Wu Yuan's divine consciousness couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Other living beings couldn't survive inside the internal mountains and rivers, but as a native creature, Little Black had no worries.

Moreover!

"From today onwards, a strand of Little Black's soul is entrusted to the internal mountains and rivers, unable to be deprived." Wu Yuan thought, "Even if killed in the outside world, it can be reborn in the internal mountains and rivers."

Of course, this move had many limitations.

For example—if completely killed, even if the main divine beast could be resurrected, it would take a very long time.

...

"Phew!" Wu Yuan opened his eyes, and the aura emanating from his whole body was much stronger than before.

Life force propelled the evolution of his body.

"Now, my physical strength alone is enough to rival ordinary Purple Mansion at the third or fourth stage." Wu Yuan thought, "Once I unleash source techniques and employ the Stellar True Intent Sword Technique?"

"I can definitely slaughter a large group in the Purple Mansion realm!"

Before the breakthrough.

Wu Yuan's strength was already enough to compete with high-ranking Purple Mansion realm. Once he broke through, even though it was only the first level of the Mountain and River Realm, he was already incredibly powerful.

This was the terrifying aspect of a peerless genius.

"No rush to go to the Fourth Original Witch Realm."

Wu Yuan gently closed his eyes. "Next, what I need to do is to use Divine Crystal Source Liquid to gradually promote the evolution of the mountains and rivers, reaching the ninth stage of the Mountain and River Realm."

"At the same time."

"Refine the existing source arts to a higher level."

"Then think carefully about which two source arts to cultivate next, especially the Heavenly Tier source arts."

Even after reaching the ninth stage of the Mountain and River Realm, in most cases, even if the comprehension of the Dao was high enough, one would choose to stay for a hundred years before deciding to continue to break through.

...

While Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar continued to cultivate in the Origin Tower.

Billions of light-years away, on the Scarlet Moon Immortal Island.

In the headquarters of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, which spanned millions of miles, night fell.

Hum~

An invisible and powerful force emerged, as if it existed in a different spatial layer, not causing any alert from the Dragon Star Immortal Sect's numerous formations.

It infiltrated.

Even infiltrating near the core of the Immortal Sect, around Dragon Star.

Suddenly.

"Who goes there?" A terrifying divine consciousness erupted from Dragon Star.

Following that, a sword light soared into the sky.

"Boom, rumble~" The entire sky above the Dragon Star Immortal Sect faintly trembled. In an instant, many Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals in the entire Dragon Star Immortal Sect felt the disturbance. This kind of disturbance was remarkably obvious and astonishing.

"What's going on?"

"Is there an enemy invading the sect?" Numerous Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals were extremely vigilant, activating formations to investigate and communicate with each other.

But in the next moment.

"No, it's nothing. It's just Grandmaster Dongyang testing sword techniques. He accidentally couldn't control the force." Martial Palm Sect quickly communicated.

Although many Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals were skeptical, seeing that there were no abnormal situations, they quieted down.

Above the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, in the void, the space here condensed, making it impossible for outsiders to probe.

"It's worthy of the widely known Dongyang Sword Immortal; indeed extraordinary. If my magical power didn't have the upper hand, I wouldn't be able to trap you." The burly Houqu Star Lord chuckled.

"Who are you, sir? And why did you come to our Dragon Star Immortal Sect?"

A young man in white clothes had a cold gaze, feeling uneasy; the newcomer's strength was too terrifying.

With just one move, the space was sealed off, trapping him here. Even the strongest sword technique couldn't break through the defense.

The mysterious expert's mastery of spatial principles was simply inconceivable.

Definitely a Star Lord-level powerhouse.

Star Lord?

If it were any other Star Lord, even a peak powerhouse like the Scarlet Moon Star Lord wouldn't make him feel incapable of winning.

"Dongyang junior, I came to the Red Moon Immortal Island with no ill intent, but on orders." The Houqu Star Lord smiled, "I come from the Azure Peak Witch Realm."

"Hmm?"

"The Azure Peak Witch Realm? On orders?" Dongyang Sword Immortal's pupils slightly contracted.

He had a guess in his heart.

"The Sovereign said." The Houqu Star Lord flipped his palm, revealing a storage bracelet, saying, "This thing should be given to someone; you will understand."

The storage bracelet was in the Houqu Star Lord's palm one second, and in the next instant, it appeared silently in front of Dongyang Sword Immortal. Such methods were utterly undefendable.

"Space Void Layer?" Dongyang Sword Immortal suppressed his shock.

He finally understood the opponent's methods and what this meant.

"Haha, Dongyang junior, I have no intention of offending you. The item has been delivered, and I'll be leaving now."

"I hope that when we drink together in the future, you won't blame me for today."

Swoosh!

The Houqu Star Lord disappeared in an instant, and the invisible force that enveloped this void also dissipated in an instant.

"Star Lord!"

"A Star Lord proficient in spatial principles?" Dongyang Sword Immortal pondered, "Who could this be?"

As far as he knew, in the vast universe, each Star Lord had their own specialties, but very few were proficient in spatial principles to the extent of breaking through to the 'Space Void Layer.'

Every one of them was an existence that made other Star Lords fearful, with a formidable reputation.

After all.

They could break through to higher-dimensional spaces at any time, making them capable of toying with others of the same level during a battle.

It was a true dimensional advantage!

...

Dragon Star Immortal Sect, in Wu Yuan's mansion world.

"Body-refining avatar, stepping into the Mountain and River Realm, simultaneously promoting the evolution of the mountains and rivers while contemplating the silver light sphere. Still couldn't fathom the mysteries of the silver light sphere." Wu Yuan's Qi-refining avatar was walking in the void.

Silently observing the mountains and rivers below.

Suddenly.

Whoosh~ Faint ripples appeared in the space, and a messy old man walked out of the void.

"Master." Wu Yuan's eyes lit up, quickly saluting.

"You little brat, you made your master suffer and got a good beating." South Concealment Immortal grinned.

Wu Yuan was stunned.

Suffered a beating?

"Here, take it." South Concealment Immortal waved his hand, and a storage bracelet flew out, landing in front of Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan was stunned.

"Master, this isn't something I refi..." Wu Yuan was about to speak.

"Silence."

South Concealment Immortal shook his head slightly and whispered, "Some things, we understand in our hearts; there's no need to speak them out loud."

"I won't ask what's inside. You don't need to say much."

"If there's anything you need help with, come see me again." South Concealment Immortal said, then his figure slowly disappeared into the spatial layers.

Without a trace.

"Master South Concealment's proficiency in the way of space seems quite high." Wu Yuan held the storage bracelet.

"However, shouldn't this be sent by Lord Houqu?"

"Could it be... Master South Concealment was beaten by Lord Houqu?" Wu Yuan was astonished, feeling an urge to laugh.

"Let's go!"

"Go back and see what treasures Master Scarlet prepared for me."

With a sw

ish, Wu Yuan, holding the storage bracelet, rushed back to the quiet room.

Crossing his legs, Wu Yuan's powerful divine consciousness surged into the bracelet, feeling the superficial spiritual prohibition quickly disintegrate.

Finally.

Inside the storage bracelet, what appeared before Wu Yuan was a small, emerald green plant seed, emanating a vigorous life force.

And a jade bottle of green color.

Opening the bottle cap released an extremely rich aura of heaven and earth.

"Crystal Essence Liquid?" Wu Yuan's eyes brightened.

He hadn't expected that his master would prepare one for his Qi-refining avatar as well.

Quickly.

Closing the cap of the jade bottle, Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the emerald green plant seed.

"Is this the 'Foundation Building Treasure' Master Scarlet prepared for my Qi-refining avatar? A legendary-grade treasure?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Staring at these emerald green plant seeds, after a quick inspection, he felt that they emitted a rich life force.

But soon, a kind of impulse stirred in Wu Yuan's mind. An intense desire arose, and his body also felt this desire, wanting to ingest the seed.

Suddenly.

Whoosh~ An invisible force flew out from the emerald green seed, rushing into Wu Yuan's mind, bringing forth a large amount of information.

Soon.

"Green Mist Crystal Wood?" Wu Yuan understood the information left by Master Scarlet in the seed. "An origin wood treasure related to the wood element."

"To enter the Purple Mansion Realm, undergo a transformation in the Qi Sea, placing it within the Qi Sea? Initiate corresponding methods for the transformation?"

Wu Yuan pondered.

The information left by Master Scarlet was very detailed, with each step intricately explained. Just by skimming through it, Wu Yuan felt as if he had personally experienced it.

"No need to wait any longer."

"The Qi-Refining Avatar has already broken through, and I can hardly find a better treasure than this Green Mist Crystal Wood. If I don't break through now, when should I?" Wu Yuan thought very thoroughly.

Less than two years remained until the Battle of Moonlight.

However, it held little significance for him.

The insights of the two main avatars into the Dao were interconnected, and the Qi-Refining Avatar's combat power was extremely formidable. Once unleashed, even the peers from the Bai Cang Immortal Nation or the top-notch Golden Core Realm geniuses in the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm might not be enough for Wu Yuan to handle.

"The Qi-Refining Avatar is being watched by the Thunder Feather Divine Hall now and can't move lightly without sufficient strength."

"But the Qi-Refining Avatar, no one is keeping an eye on."

"Once I enter the Purple Mansion Realm and practice a bit, the Qi-Refining Avatar will go on an adventure."

Wu Yuan's eyes gleamed with eagerness. "I should go and see if the Black Tower is effective against the Qi-Refining Avatar."

Chapter 315: Fate Illusory Realm, Purification of Faith

In the mansion world, inside the quiet room.

"Qi Sea!"

Wu Yuan sensed the mysterious place within his body, the seemingly real but slightly illusory Qi Sea. Streams of true elemental forces flowed within the Qi Sea, and a golden 'Golden Core' had been meticulously refined to perfection.

Ninth level of the Golden Core! The pinnacle of the Qi Sea.

At the same time, the nine lifebound flying swords, now condensed into sword pellets, were swirling around the Golden Core, resembling nine tiny silver cores.

Different from the Divine Palace.

The Divine Palace originated from the lower Dantian Palace, derived from flesh and blood, equivalent to a real space opened within the body, capable of storage, evolving step by step with the mountains and rivers, ultimately transforming into a real world.

On the other hand, the Qi Sea originated from the middle Dantian Palace but existed between reality and illusion.

It seemed to be inside Wu Yuan's body, yet not entirely within him, half placed in an unpredictable location.

"The transformation of the Divine Palace into mountains and rivers signifies the Mountain and River Realm," Wu Yuan realized. "While the Qi Sea, transforming into the Purple Mansion, signifies the Purple Mansion Realm."

These two major realms were the true dividing points in two cultivation systems, and many miraculous abilities stemmed from the Mountain and River and Purple Mansion.

Three days later.

Wu Yuan finally completely refined the Green Mist Crystal Wood.

"Breakthrough."

Wu Yuan had comprehended the mysteries of life for a long time at the ninth level of the Golden Core. As Master Nan Yin Immortal mentioned, he could have broken through a long time ago.

There was no need to delay any further.

However, for other Purple Mansion cultivators, achieving the third-tier Immortal Foundation might be considered advanced enough. Still, Wu Yuan was never satisfied.

The earlier he laid down the most stable foundation, the better.

Now, with the Green Mist Crystal Wood, a legendary treasure, fully refined, he felt completely satisfied.

"Hum!" The Green Mist Crystal Wood flew into the Qi Sea. Under the command of Wu Yuan's powerful divine consciousness, it directly merged into the golden Golden Core.

In the next moment.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Countless true elemental forces that were peacefully roaming around erupted suddenly. Following that, the powerful and majestic Golden Core also exploded, as if experiencing a cosmic explosion.

But this was an organized explosion.

"Condense!" Wu Yuan's divine consciousness, combined with the profound mysteries of the Dao, observed every strand and thread of the entire Qi Sea explosion, precisely controlling it.

Why did one have to reach the Seventh Realm to confidently enter the Purple Mansion?

If the comprehension of the Dao was not high enough, just the first step would lead to an uncontrollable explosion process, resulting in direct demise.

"Splash~"

The previously mighty true elemental forces, almost equivalent to those of Purple Mansion cultivators, instantly swept across the vast Qi Sea. Following this tremendous force, it directly surged towards the mysterious and illusory place above the Qi Sea.

"Tear~" as if piercing through the sky!

The mysterious and vast location was instantly torn open, revealing a large gap. Faint purple light shone through that small gap, and invisible mysterious forces made the boiling Qi Sea quickly calm down.

Strands of purple light appeared.

Forming a new world.

Boundless and infinite, illusory in all directions, only the lake formed by the gathering of pure true elemental forces below had a surface with a faint purple light. Wu Yuan's divine consciousness was positioned above the lake.

It happened to be illuminated by the mysterious 'gap' in the sky, revealing a comfort he had never experienced before.

Warmth!

Warmth!

"Break the boundaries of reality and illusion, connecting the Qi Sea to the Fate Illusory Realm," Wu Yuan's consciousness, through this mysterious gap, vaguely peered into that vast and mysterious place. It seemed like an endless expanse of ocean flowing by.

Strands of purple light represented only the minuscule power permeating from that boundless ocean.

And it was precisely this mysterious power that constructed the foundation of the Purple Mansion.

"The Purple Mansion, ethereal and dreamlike, can allow my divine sense to easily spread through the Fate Illusory Realm," Wu Yuan's divine consciousness merged with strands of purple light.

It did not enhance his divine consciousness but gave it a mysterious characteristic—the characteristic of the Fate Illusory Realm!

Finally.

Wu Yuan's divine consciousness completely transformed, adapting to the illumination of those strands of purple light. His divine sense followed the small gap and entered the mysterious and unpredictable Fate Illusory Realm.

In the real world, there is the most basic material space layer, represented by the dimension fragments layer, and the spatial turbulence layer representing higher-dimensional spaces. Regardless of the number of dimensions, they all fundamentally exist.

However, the mysterious and unpredictable soul.

Why can two major incarnations be connected across endless voids? Ignoring space?

Why is the Divine Illusory Realm so elusive?

Everything stems from consciousness and divine consciousness. In opposition to the real world, there is also an illusory world—the Fate Illusory Realm!

The higher-dimensional space of consciousness can also be called higher-dimensional illusory realms, Fate Illusory Realms, and so on.

"Comprehend the laws of space; with sufficient strength, one can descend into higher-dimensional space," Wu Yuan thought. "Only with a powerful divine consciousness, based on the Purple Mansion, nurtured by the Fate Illusory Realm, can consciousness easily descend into the Fate Illusory Realm."

Whoosh!

Wu Yuan's consciousness, through that small gap, descended into the vast and mysterious Fate Illusory Realm.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

A majestic force, centered around this small gap, began to rapidly expand.

Eventually, it expanded to a radius of a hundred miles.

"Cultivators, the size of the 'illusory world' opened in the Fate Illusory Realm, has a certain relationship with the Purple Mansion Immortal Foundation and divine consciousness," Wu Yuan realized.

Ordinary third-tier Immortal Foundation cultivators typically open an illusory world of about thirty to forty miles.

The reason Wu Yuan could open such a large illusory world was due to his powerful divine consciousness.

Suddenly.

"Splash! Splash!" Strands of emerald-green grass suddenly sprouted in the illusory world Wu Yuan had just opened. Following that, the entire illusory world began to continue expanding outward at an incredibly rapid pace.

In just a moment!

This illusory world expanded to a vastness of three hundred miles. With such a vast illusory world, the absorption of power from the 'Fate Illusory Realm' increased rapidly.

"Hum~"

The illusory world nourished itself, causing the Purple Mansion in the real space to further expand. The nurtured mana became increasingly powerful and pure!

Quickly.

"Second-tier Immortal Foundation." Wu Yuan had sensed the transformation of his own foundation. Silently, three third-tier Immortal Foundations had quietly transformed into second-tier.

Seemingly simple.

In reality, it's because Wu Yuan's divine consciousness is strong, and the effect of the Green Mist Crystal Wood is powerful.

"Currently, I've only opened the most superficial layer in the illusory world, considered the 'Shallow Illusory Layer.' It doesn't count as truly entering the 'Higher-dimensional Illusory Realm," Wu Yuan is very clear about this: "Higher-dimensional Illusory Realms, generally only True Immortals can truly enter."

"At least, some extremely powerful Upper Immortals have hope."

The Fate Illusory Realm is the 'illusory' aspect of the entire real world, where the real and illusory intertwine, opposing yet compatible, representing the most fundamental force in the universe.

In the vastness of the universe, countless souls of living beings are deposited in the vast and mysterious Fate Illusory Realm, originating from the boundless river of fate.

Without the real world, the Fate Illusory Realm cannot exist.

But without the Fate Illusory Realm, the existence of the real world is meaningless.

Over the long years.

Countless Qi Refiners open 'illusory worlds,' essentially actively merging their consciousness into the Fate Illusory Realm and gradually controlling the power of the illusory world.

The process of continuously merging into the illusory world will gradually research the essence of the entire universe, unaffected by the suppression of the universe.

On the contrary, it will be welcomed by the natural instinct of the vast universe.

Because the illusory worlds opened by Qi Refiners are already a part of the 'Fate Illusory Realm,' the stronger they are, the more powerful and stable the Fate Illusory Realm will be.

"Body Refiners, in order to independently control the real world and shape their own destiny, will be rejected by the universe," Wu Yuan muttered: "Qi Refiners, on the other hand, merge into the 'Fate Illusory Realm' and gradually grasp the profound mysteries of the Fate Illusory Realm."

A path independent of the universe.

A path integrated into the universe.

Completely different paths will naturally lead to different results, and the methods of cultivation will also be different.

The illusory world has many magical means.

… "Illusory Reflection." Wu Yuan's mind moved, and he felt his consciousness easily spreading through the entire illusory world, followed by reflecting reality.

Splash~

The originally only three hundred miles wide illusory world, once projected into reality, quickly evolved into a vast expanse of thirty thousand miles.

A region of thirty thousand miles.

As his divine sense approached, all was under control.

"This is still just the Shallow Illusory Layer." Wu Yuan sighed to himself: "If I truly step into the Higher-dimensional Illusory Realm, even if it's only the first layer, once my consciousness projects into reality, it can easily spread three million miles."

Higher-dimensional Illusory Realms, once projected into reality, will also rapidly expand.

This is only the first layer.

There are even higher levels. Why can some great powers comprehend the profound mysteries of the vast time and space, even enveloping the entire realm with a single thought?

Is it really the divine sense wandering in the material space layer?

What a joke!

Essentially, their consciousness can start from the extremely high-dimensional Fate Illusory Realm, continuously descend and expand, projecting into reality to achieve unimaginable results.

Knowing the affairs of the entire realm with a single thought.

It is by no means a lie.

"Body Refiners, with strong physical bodies, form a domain of mountains and rivers, breaking through laws with strength, making it easier for them to break into higher-dimensional space," Wu Yuan understands the pros and cons of the two systems: "And Qi Refiners, their consciousness originates from the illusory world, like a big tree with roots, can easily break through to higher-dimensional illusory realms."

"Allowing them astonishing perception abilities, even spanning endless time and space, killing through the threads of cause and effect!"

The so-called spanning endless time and space is only in the material space layer.

Instead of in the higher-dimensional illusory realm.

Perhaps, walking two steps in the extremely high-dimensional illusory realm, once reflecting reality, is enough to traverse billions of miles of space and time.

Great powers of the Qi Refiner sect.

Almost all excel in the laws of cause and fate, precisely because they open 'illusory worlds' in the higher-dimensional illusory realm.

"Body Refiners, due to the suppression and rejection by the universe, and their perception is not strong enough, have a weak sense of danger in fate. Although they seem to have strong vitality, the probability of falling is even higher."

"Making this vast universe, the number of powerful Qi Refiners is increasing, and those who survive the Immortal Tribulation, over ninety percent become True Immortals," Wu Yuan muttered.

Even in the powerful Witch Realm.

In the early stages, Qi Refiners may only occupy fifty to sixty percent, but in the end, among the True Immortals and Great Witches born, over eighty percent are True Immortals.

...

"Sword!" Wu Yuan's mind moved, and a strand of his lifebound flying sword flew out of the Purple Mansion Lake. Controlled by divine sense, it easily flew out of the quiet room, cutting through thousands of miles of void.

Even tens of thousands of miles.

"Where the illusory world reflects reality, all kinds of flying sword treasures can reach," Wu Yuan marveled at the terror of Qi Refiners.

Legend has it that when a Sword Immortal appears, enemies can be killed from a thousand miles away.

But some powerful Qi Refiners in the Qi Refiner sect can kill enemies across billions or even tens of billions of light-years with just a thought.

Of course.

The farther away from the magical treasure, the weaker its power will be, until it completely loses its power beyond the range reflected by the illusory world.

"Ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators (Sixth-level Immortal Foundations), the illusory world, is probably only ten or so miles," Wu Yuan whispered: "It can only reflect reality for a little over a thousand miles."

Over a thousand miles is the attack range of an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator's magical treasure.

Some extremely powerful ones, like those with a Third-level Immortal Foundation, can attack from several thousand miles away.

And Wu Yuan? His attack range is a full thirty thousand miles.

Maintaining strong power, his lifebound flying sword is enough to attack an area of tens of thousands of miles!

It can be said that with this move alone, among many Second-level Immortal Foundation cultivators, Wu Yuan is considered extremely powerful.

... "Hmm?" Wu Yuan suddenly sensed that above the illusory world, in the vast and mysterious river of fate, there were strands of white threads.

Directly transmitted into the illusory world.

Making the illusory world, faintly become more stable. This strange power is extremely weak, but when accumulated, it still has a miraculous effect.

"This is... faith!" Wu Yuan slightly sensed.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Through the 'Fate Illusory Realm,' his consciousness vaguely saw figures praying devoutly, old women, children, young people... Some figures were extremely vague, while others were relatively clear... Hundreds of millions!

"No wonder, when I entered the Mountain and River Realm before, I couldn't perceive it. It turns out my consciousness hadn't broken through the Fate Illusory Realm," Wu Yuan instantly realized.

Only by perceiving the Fate Illusory Realm.

Can one receive the power of faith. Every Purple Mansion cultivator can do this, it's an innate talent of Qi Refiners.

But among Body Refiners, those who can do it are few and far between.

"The power of faith contains magical power, which can make my divine consciousness grow faster, recover faster, and seem to have a clearer comprehension of the Dao," Wu Yuan knows many secrets and quickly studies various uses of the power of faith.

Very magical.

Similarly, the power of faith also has drawbacks!

"This power of faith is actually the willpower of countless living beings, resonating with the river of fate, and contributing their own power to me," Wu Yuan thought: "But in the end, this is their power, containing their wishes."

A small amount of absorption is fine.

Once absorbed too much, indulging in it, it will affect the purity of one's own divine consciousness with countless entangled thoughts of cause and effect.

"This is a double-edged sword."

"Only when oneself is strong enough and the will is firm enough can one suppress the countless entanglements of the power of faith." Wu Yuan realized this.

Time passes.

Wu Yuan absorbs the power of faith, constantly driving away those weak thoughts. It is slow and weak.

Suddenly.

"Hmm~"

An invisible force swept through Wu Yuan's mind and divine consciousness, and also rushed through the entire illusory world through the small opening between the Purple Mansion and the illusory world.

Rumbling~ Countless diverse forces of faith, containing countless thoughts, instantly scattered, becoming incredibly pure.

No longer harboring any tiny wishes.

"This?"

Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, feeling slightly shocked: "It's the Black Tower! Just absorbing a trace of blood mist purified so much power of faith?"

It's worth noting that the Black Tower in the Qi Refiner's Dan Tian Palace has very little residual blood mist, and the blood mist consumed just now is even less than one percent of the remaining blood mist.

But these forces of faith are constantly being supplied.

"This! This!"

"Ordinary cultivators, even if they have the power of faith, dare not absorb it recklessly, they can only take it slowly," Wu Yuan's eyes flashed: "But I, with enough blood mist, can continuously absorb it."

"Once assisted by the power of faith, the progress of my Qi Refiner's main body will soar."

The main body of a Qi Refiner has much slower comprehension speed compared to the main body of a Body Refiner.

But once supplemented by the power of faith...

"At least, the speed of comprehension in the Dao of Longevity will be several times faster, and won't lag behind too much," Wu Yuan's emotions surged.

But there are two prerequisites.

First, enough blood mist!

Second, a sufficient amount of the power of faith.

"Now I am only in the Purple Mansion realm, and the speed of assimilating the power of faith has a limit. For now, the power of faith granted by the Mansion World, Xia Mountain World, and the Body Refiner main body is sufficient," Wu Yuan thought: "The only worry is the blood mist."

Seemingly not consuming much.

But continuously purifying the power of faith, accumulating it, is also extremely astonishing.

"Well."

"I originally planned for the main body to wander through life and death, opening a killing spree." Wu Yuan's eyes revealed a cold intent: "Now, there is an additional motivation."

"First use the Crystal Source Liquid to deduce the mana to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion in one breath."

From the first level to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, the changes in the illusory world are limited. After all, Wu Yuan's illusory world is already incredibly terrifying.

But the lake in the Purple Mansion will become even more majestic.

Accumulate strength for the next expansion of the illusory world.

...

Time passes.

Dragon Star, Southern Hidden Immortal Mansion.

"Purple Mansion Second level? How long has it been?" Southern Hidden Immortal looked at Wu Yuan in disbelief.

Too exaggerated.

Less than a month since the last meeting.

Wu Yuan directly jumped from the Ninth-level Golden Core to the Second level of the Purple Mansion.

This rate of mana progress is simply incredible.

"Is it that person who used a special treasure to help you?" Southern Hidden Immortal couldn't help asking.

"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded.

He knew very well that for Senior Southern Hidden, God Crystals might not be considered precious, but Crystal Source Liquid? Precious to the extreme.

Even ordinary Star Lord Immortals are reluctant to let their disciples use it.

Only Senior Kua Chi, as the Witch Lord of the Witch Realm, stands at the pinnacle of the Great Realm and doesn't care about this treasure.

"Good."

Southern Hidden Immortal couldn't help saying: "To the Ninth level of the Purple Mansion, how long will it take? Three years? Five years?"

"Ten months." Wu Yuan said.

Southern Hidden Immortal: "..."

"The legend is indeed true." Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head and smiled: "Being a disciple taught by the monarch since childhood, in the early days, there was no need to waste time accumulating mana."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, good. Now that you are on a higher platform, the speed of progress is indeed beyond what I imagined." Southern Hidden Immortal sighed: "If you go to challenge a Star Tower now and unleash your full power, how many floors do you estimate you can reach?"

"Probably between the seventy-fourth and seventy-seventh floors." Wu Yuan estimated.

The guardians of the seventy floors of the Star Tower have insights into the mid-level law and dao.

Wu Yuan had known this for a long time.

"At least the seventy-fourth floor?" A glint flashed in Southern Hidden Immortal's eyes. He was well aware of the difficulty of this level.

"Do you want to go?" Southern Hidden Immortal asked.

"No need." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Another person is already bright enough. I need to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention."

Southern Hidden Immortal nodded slightly, knowing that Wu Yuan was referring to the 'Body Refiner.'

"Another twenty years."

"Challenging the seventy-plus floors of a Star Tower, accumulating some points from the Temple of Dao, should be enough." Wu Yuan grinned.

"Okay."

Southern Hidden Immortal nodded slightly and said, "With your progress, there is hope to break the record of the one-star tower set by Luo Gu in the future."

"Take it step by step. Even if there is such a level, there is no need to break it..." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

The eighty floors of the one-star tower, even if you deduce a mid-level domain to the true meaning triple, there is a high probability that you won't be able to pass.

So.

Wu Yuan doesn't have much confidence.

"Do you want your master to help with anything?" Southern Hidden Immortal asked, feeling that his disciple had come suddenly and probably had something on his mind.

"Disciple has the ability to pass more than seventy floors of a Star Tower." Wu Yuan suddenly smiled: "According to the promise made by the master when we first met, should the disciple receive some rewards?"

Wu Yuan said.

It was the promise made by Southern Hidden Immortal when they first met.

"You little cunning guy, you didn't even go to challenge, but you're here for rewards." Southern Hidden Immortal glared, but saw that Wu Yuan was not fooled at all, still smiling.

"Alright, alright."

"I can't do anything with you." Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head and smiled: "In that case, since you have entered the Purple Mansion realm, the master will help you once."

"Dongyang Sword Immortal, last time, gave you a piece of withered wood."

"The rewards the master promised you before will not be given to you."

"But the master will prepare another batch of treasures for you, which can make all your primary flying swords perfectly transform into top-grade spiritual weapons." Southern Hidden Immortal said.

"Oh?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.

His current nine-grade primary flying sword is also at the level of a third-grade spiritual weapon.

If he wants to completely transform them all into top-grade spiritual weapons and make them perfect without any flaws, the cost is extremely high!

It probably requires over a trillion source crystals, a fortune that would make countless Refining Saints in the Refined Illusionary Domain jealous and make many Earth Immortals feel heartbroken.

If it were the Body Refiner, he wouldn't care. One source crystal would be enough to exchange for over a trillion source crystals.

But for the Qi Refiner?

Not so many treasures.

"What the master can help you with is only so much." Southern Hidden Immortal said: "In addition, the master will also give you a set of mid-grade spiritual treasures, not of high value, probably only worth a hundred billion source crystals, but they will be very suitable for you."

"It's considered a gift to you for entering the Purple Mansion realm."

"Thank you, Master." Wu Yuan said respectfully, feeling quite grateful.

He was well aware that Southern Hidden Master was far from comparable to Senior Kua Chi.

But in terms of feelings.

Wu Yuan is closer to Southern Hidden Master.

"When you reach the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, what are your thoughts? Continue to cultivate in seclusion?" Southern Hidden Immortal asked.

"No."

"Master, I plan to venture into the Immortal-Witch Battlefield," Wu Yuan said, "to undergo a life-and-death tempering."

"The Immortal-Witch Battlefield?" Southern Hidden Immortal frowned slightly. "Even if you want to experience life and death, there's no need to start with such a high difficulty."

"You can go to some small worlds, realms, ancient ruins, and so on first."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Above the Immortal Continent, cultivators have different ways of venturing into life and death. For example, some newly opened small worlds may give birth to precious treasures or even world spirits.

Some realms are even more mysterious, many of which were left behind by Celestials, Witch Lords, or Godly Beings, containing numerous treasures.

The naturally evolved ones are equally magical.

As for some ancient ruins, such as sect remnants, remnants of immortal-demon wars, and so on, they might also contain treasures.

These places of adventure have varying degrees of danger.

However,

For Wu Yuan, treasures? He doesn't really need them, or rather, the treasures he desires cannot be found in ordinary territories.

His goal is - Blood Mist!

And the most convenient place to harvest blood mist is naturally the Immortal-Witch Battlefield.

"The entire Great Realm has many Immortal-Witch Battlefields, such as the Blood Mountain Plane, which is a battlefield opened to suppress the Demon Clan," Southern Hidden Immortal couldn't help but say, "Among them, the lower-level battlefields are more suitable for you."

"No."

Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "What disciple plans to go to is the Immortal-Witch Battlefield, but Master, please rest assured, disciple will not act recklessly."

"What disciple plans to go to is the 36th Immortal-Witch Battlefield."

"Disciple is not a genius of the Witch Realm, just an inconspicuous cultivator from the Hengyang Immortal Realm. Not many people will pay attention," Wu Yuan smiled slightly.

Chapter 316 Transformation of Strength

"The 36th Immortal-Witch Battlefield?"

Southern Hidden Immortal frowned slightly. "In the entire Great Realm, there are a total of fifty-four Immortal-Witch Battlefields, with thirty-six of them being 'Beginner Battlefields,' and the 36th is among the most dangerous."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Exactly!

The Azure Peak Witch Realm and the Thunder Feather Divine Hall have been in a continuous large-scale battle for years, with countless cultivators fighting each other. Except for situations like the 'decisive battle' ten thousand years ago, numerous Immortal Continents would turn into battlefields.

During the long years of peace, generally, fifty-four Immortal-Witch Battlefields are opened.

One high-level battlefield, seventeen mid-level battlefields, and thirty-six beginner battlefields.

High and mid-level battlefields need no elaboration.

Mid-level battlefields, in terms of danger, are comparable to the 'Blood Mountain Plane' often ventured into by cultivators of the Hengyang Immortal Realm. Even ordinary Earthly Immortals and Earthly Witches entering them face high levels of danger.

As for high-level battlefields?

Those are the pinnacle battlefields of the true Great Realm, the most intense.

According to Wu Yuan's knowledge, Senior Brother Jiang Huan was invincible in the high-level battlefield, and more than one Heavenly Immortal fell at his hands.

"Master, to enter a beginner battlefield, one needs to be at least at the Purple Mansion Ninth Layer," Wu Yuan smiled, "Even though many breakthroughs to the Refining Void Saint Realm occur after entering, the overall strength usually won't be too outrageous."

"Although I've just broken through, if we talk about the comprehension of the Dao, I dare say that, in the entire Great Realm, I'm among the very top," Wu Yuan grinned.

Southern Hidden Immortal sighed helplessly.

Indeed!

Although Wu Yuan, who had just broken through, cannot be compared to the top talents in the seven major forces, those who have cultivated for hundreds of years, at least he is comparable to the top Purple Mansion cultivators in ordinary Immortal Continents or even Immortal Countries.

Moreover, the Immortal-Witch Battlefield is not a duel of geniuses but a gathering of millions of cultivators venturing through. The probability of encountering a super genius is still quite low.

"It's still dangerous," Southern Hidden Immortal couldn't help but say.

"Master," Wu Yuan smiled, "Venturing into life and death always carries risks. If there is no danger, how can one squeeze oneself, how can one break through the limits of life?"

Southern Hidden Immortal sighed inwardly.

How could he not understand? Back then, he also stepped through step by step, experiencing numerous life-and-death situations to achieve his current strength.

However, facing his only direct disciple, he still instinctively felt worried.

After all, Wu Yuan, who had only practiced for decades, even if his talent was astonishing, still seemed too immature.

There are too many dangers that could easily threaten him.

"Alright!"

"Since you've decided, I won't persuade you. From immaturity to maturity, one must experience life and death. How can you see the rainbow without going through wind and rain?" Southern Hidden Immortal said softly, "I'll arrange for someone to quickly send you the treasure that can perfectly transform your lifelink sword."

"However."

"When you reach the Purple Mansion Ninth Layer, remember to come to me. I still have some instructions for you."

"Yes, then I'll take my leave." Wu Yuan respectfully bowed, and along with the teleportation array, he quickly left the Dragon Star Mansion.

Sensing Wu Yuan's departure.

"Ah!"

"Clearly, he hasn't left yet." Southern Hidden Immortal shook his head slightly, silently sighing, "But my heart is already somewhat in turmoil."

...

Back at his residence, Wu Yuan didn't hesitate and continued to use the 'Divine Crystal Source Liquid' to rapidly advance his cultivation.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by strands of pure to the extreme spiritual energy pouring in, transforming into surging true essence, the Purple Mansion Lake became deeper and broader.

The 'Purple Mansion Power' that Wu Yuan could manipulate also became stronger and more vigorous.

"Purple Mansion Fourth Layer, continue." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Now that his divine consciousness was very strong, he could completely allocate different energies to cultivate various aspects.

"Main attack of the Xuanhuang Sword Formation."

"But in the Immortal-Witch Battlefield, there are many strong cultivators, and there might even be large groups joining forces to attack and kill," Wu Yuan understood this well.

"Therefore, my focus in the next cultivation will be primarily on the 'Star Domain Sword Canon' and 'Eternal Life Sword Canon,' with survival as the top priority."

"Moreover, to conceal my identity during battles, I'll use the 'Way of Eternal Life' as the core, supplemented by the 'Way of the Stars.'"

Just as Wu Yuan was contemplating, suddenly.

"Hmm." Wu Yuan's train of thought, currently within the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, received a message from the sect spirit.

"The Purple Mansion True Transmission is leaving Xia. By the resolution of the elders and your authority as 'Elder Comparing Positions,' starting from today, you can freely exchange all the sect's martial arts secrets and techniques without the need for Dragon Crystals."

The message was simple but profound.

"Is this Master helping me? No need for Dragon Crystals?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile. "Well, from now on, I can freely learn all these sect's martial arts."

Wu Yuan understood the reason.

Essentially, the sect set up 'Dragon Crystals' to encourage disciples to venture into dangers and cultivate diligently.

But for Wu Yuan, who had already joined the Witch Lord Sect, many of these restrictions were no longer significant. He could freely learn some more precious and advanced martial arts from the original Witch Realm.

Moreover.

The Dragon Star Immortal Realm could only spread its influence over a region of one Immortal Continent's space-time. Once he went to the distant 36th Immortal-Witch Battlefield, he wouldn't be able to learn secret techniques and martial arts through the Dragon Star Immortal Realm.

"The Heavenly Immortal's Virtual Realm, even in a high-dimensional virtual realm, only spreads over one Immortal Continent's space-time." Wu Yuan understood how the Divine Virtual Realm was constructed.

"The source lies in the virtual world."

The principle is incredibly complex.

However, the actual operation is not difficult. There is a very detailed process. Following it step by step in cultivation will allow the establishment.

Like Wu Yuan, now relying on his own virtual world, he can also establish a small, rudimentary divine virtual realm that can spread over millions of miles.

"Once I leave the sect, I won't be able to learn the sect's secret techniques and martial arts." Wu Yuan grinned, "So let's choose carefully now, and jot down what's needed."

"The Eternal Sword Canon," "Star Domain Sword Canon," "Xuanhuang Sword Canon," "Sword Spirit Origin Light," and other powerful martial arts were all exchanged by Wu Yuan in full.

Many other sword techniques, knife manuals, etc., were also exchanged and memorized by Wu Yuan.

Not indulging in too much, Wu Yuan didn't plan to cultivate too many sword techniques and manuals. The majority of what he exchanged was for reference.

"The Celestial Immortal Formation Scroll,"

"The Treasure Appraisal Divine Canon,"

"The Seeking Crystal Mountains and Rivers Method," "Demon Insect Cultivation Manual," "Ten Thousand Manipulations Mind-Control Technique," and more than ten auxiliary scriptures, Wu Yuan also exchanged one by one, putting a little thought into understanding them.

While exploring the dangers outside, these auxiliary methods might not need to be mastered completely, but ignorance would be perilous.

Regarding formations, facing an extra-large formation, it might not be necessary to understand it, but if one couldn't even distinguish its rank, that would be dangerous.

"Formations are actually quite interesting." Wu Yuan immersed himself in the cultivation of formation techniques.

Formations fundamentally borrow the power of heaven and earth, combining with geographical features, spatial Dao traces, etc., to erupt with terrifying strength.

Wu Yuan had a high understanding of the Dao, so contemplating some ordinary formations was naturally not difficult.

In theory, if he had the insights of a Star Master-level Celestial Immortal, he could effortlessly set up powerful formations.

This was the advantage of a high realm.

...

"The Soul-Shaking Seal," condensing the divine consciousness into a massive seal, violently smashing towards the enemy, causing disturbance to the enemy's divine consciousness, affecting the casting of spells, manipulation of flying swords, and so on.

"The Soul-Annihilation Needle," condensing the divine consciousness into a needle, aiming to directly annihilate the enemy's divine consciousness, achieving a silent and invisible killing.

Wu Yuan exchanged these two divine consciousness techniques.

These two major divine consciousness attack techniques were quite common, circulating in many major sects, and had a low difficulty in cultivation.

However, widespread circulation and low cultivation difficulty didn't mean weak power. On the contrary, if these two major divine consciousness techniques were cultivated to a high level, their power would be formidable.

"If I still focus on cultivating within the sect, these attack methods may not need to be cultivated, but outside, they are indispensable." Wu Yuan diligently cultivated.

His goal was to achieve some proficiency.

With his powerful divine consciousness comparable to a Purple Mansion Ninth Layer expert, once he achieved some proficiency, Wu Yuan believed that unleashing the 'Soul-Shaking Seal' could make Purple Mansion Ninth Layer experts change their expressions, making it an absolute weapon in group battles.

However, compared to the two major divine consciousness attack techniques, what Wu Yuan truly dedicated himself to cultivate was the "Sword Spirit Origin Light."

This divine consciousness defense technique was one he began cultivating shortly after joining the sect, and it was divided into nine realms. He had been immersed in cultivating it.

"Hum~"

As time passed, when Wu Yuan stepped into the seventh level of the Purple Mansion, he finally cultivated the "Sword Spirit Origin Light" to the level of 'Four Sources.'

"At the Four Sources level, I can easily withstand the divine consciousness attacks of ordinary Refinement Void Feather Scholars." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

In theory, with his Dao insights and divine consciousness, he could completely cultivate it to the Five Sources level.

However, understanding the Dao might bring sudden enlightenment and rapid breakthroughs, but cultivating secret techniques and martial arts required condensing a large amount of divine consciousness runes, which took time.

In a short period, Wu Yuan couldn't cultivate the "Sword Spirit Origin Light" to the Five Sources level.

"It's enough. The probability of encountering divine consciousness attacks from Earth Immortal-level in low-level Immortal-Witch battlefields is very low." Wu Yuan felt calm.

...

At this moment, Dragon Treasure Tower continuously sent a large number of treasures, all precious items for refining life-bound flying swords.

Clearly, all were sent under the guidance of Master 'Nan Yin Upper Immortal.'

Batch after batch!

"Refine! Refine!" Without hesitation, Wu Yuan began pushing the evolution of his life-bound flying sword to its limits.

His life-bound flying sword was the Swallowing Gold Cavern.

For ordinary sword cultivators, if they only had one or two life-bound flying swords and didn't pursue future potential, it could still be sustained until the Golden Elixir realm.

However, as one reached the Purple Mansion realm, it became increasingly difficult.

After all, a one-grade flying sword already had formidable power and an extremely high price. Each one would cost millions of source crystals. If it were a life-bound flying sword, creating one would cost tens of millions of source crystals, depleting its potential.

And someone like Wu Yuan?

"Nine swords!"

"The treasures sent by Master probably have a total value exceeding 600 billion source crystals." Wu Yuan marveled silently, "And with the precious wood treasure from before?"

The cost was incredibly high, beyond imagination!

The path of the strongest sword cultivator was forged with wealth.

Only powerful upper immortals like Nan Yin Upper Immortal were willing to pay such a high price for their only direct disciple.

Otherwise, ordinary Earth Immortals wouldn't be willing to do this for their disciples; they couldn't afford it.

"I must not let Master down." Wu Yuan focused on cultivation, crazily refining and guiding the continuous evolution of his life-bound flying swords.

Third-grade spiritual weapon flying swords, second-grade spiritual weapon flying swords... the nine life-bound flying swords became increasingly powerful, continuously breaking through to first-grade spiritual weapon flying swords.

...

In the trial area of the mansion world.

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" A figure flickered in the void, instantly creating hundreds of illusions in the thousand-mile void.

Following each illusion.

They dissipated like bubbles.

"Using the Dao of Stars as the core, supplemented by the Dao of Ten Thousand Longevity, cultivating the 'Star Illusion' is indeed challenging." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Continue!"

He continued to cultivate.

"Star Illusion" was a powerful technique he chose from the sect, specifically suited for cultivating his body technique.

In one-on-one battles or sect competitions.

Due to the necessity of determining victory or defeat, combined with spatial restrictions, the importance of body technique was relatively low, which was a constraint.

But when venturing outside, body technique became extremely important!

Especially for Qi Refiners, it's even more so.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Wu Yuan abruptly stopped, a hint of joy revealed in his eyes, murmuring to himself, "The physical refining avatar has finally reached the limit of the Ninth Layer of Mountains and Rivers."

The two avatars, one after the other, broke through.

The physical refining avatar took the lead, naturally reaching the limit earlier.

"I should carefully ponder the silver light sphere bestowed by Master." Wu Yuan's physical refining avatar also came to a halt, preparing to wholeheartedly immerse in comprehension.

...

In the Fifth Original Witch Realm, inside the Origin Tower.

Wu Yuan's physical refining avatar was sitting cross-legged.

Now, his life force had increased more than a hundredfold compared to a year ago, vigorous and majestic.

Inside his body, the mountains and rivers, which initially spanned 'three thousand six hundred miles,' had expanded and soared to a breadth of ten thousand miles.

The towering boundary tree, with its lush branches and leaves, emitted a rich life force.

The existence of the boundary tree made the entire internal mountains and rivers incredibly stable.

Surrounding the boundary tree was a vast and boundless life source power. Xiao Hei wandered among it, and its size had become incredibly large, almost ten miles in size.

"Nine Layers of Mountains and Rivers!"

"Xiao Hei, unconsciously, has also reached the Ninth Layer of Mountains and Rivers." Wu Yuan felt the surging power within.

With a simple movement, a punch could probably annihilate a thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

"Under a punch, even some small stars would probably burst." Wu Yuan marveled in his heart.

He increasingly understood why cultivators in the Mountains and Rivers realm could freely traverse the vast void of the great world.

It was because their physical bodies were too powerful.

Crossing the void with their fleshly bodies, they could ignore most dangers.

"My Mountains and Rivers." Wu Yuan sensed the vast and mighty mountains and rivers within him. Assisted by the boundary tree, the recovery speed of life source power alone was much faster.

"According to the information I received."

"A normal Second-grade Witch Foundation, the mountains and rivers in the body of a Ninth Layer of Mountains and Rivers cultivator are about five thousand miles." Wu Yuan muttered, "A First-grade Immortal Foundation is usually around sixteen thousand miles."

And Wu Yuan's internal mountains and rivers, vast and boundless, had already reached the limit of a Second-grade Witch Foundation.

This was the effect of the boundary tree!

The treasure used by body refiners to build the foundation of mountains and rivers is best suited to stabilize and expand real space.

As for Qi Refiners' foundational treasures, they usually work best when enhancing divine consciousness and influencing the void, like the Green Mist Crystal Wood.

However!

"Body refiners focus on themselves but are weaker in sensing the vast fate of the world." Wu Yuan looked up at the top of the Origin Tower, "The fate void... My physical refining avatar's divine consciousness, even in the Mountains and Rivers realm, is definitely top-notch, but I can still only vaguely sense it."

"I can't truly enter the 'Shallow Void Layer' of the fate void." Wu Yuan sighed to himself.

He increasingly realized the differences between the two systems.

Although body refiners seem to have strong vitality, through the long years of cultivation, after numerous life and death trials, their ability to perceive danger is weaker, and the probability of falling is higher.

"No wonder."

"Since the opening of heaven and earth, over the long years, the Qi Refining sect will become the mainstream between heaven and earth." Wu Yuan muttered, "Low cultivation difficulty and low probability of falling."

Of course.

Body refiners also have their own advantages, such as - cultivating the second avatar!

"The two avatars complement and assist each other to go further on the cultivation path." Wu Yuan turned his palm.

In the palm.

It was the silver light sphere bestowed by Master Kua Chi.

"Master Kua Chi said that when I reach the Ninth Layer of Mountains and Rivers, I can try to comprehend it." Wu Yuan stared at the silver light sphere.

The countless subtle secret patterns were too intricate.

Even with Wu Yuan's eyesight and divine consciousness, it was challenging to see them completely.

Over the past year.

He tried several times, but in the end, he could only vaguely sense that the silver light sphere seemed to emit strands of life force.

But no matter how much he contemplated, he couldn't understand.

After a little thought.

"Put it into the internal mountains and rivers and give it a try." Wu Yuan's mind moved, and a burst of light radiated from his chest, instantly swallowing the silver light sphere.

...In the vast internal mountains and rivers.

Hum~

A silver light sphere appeared out of thin air in the center of the mountains and rivers. In the next moment, the silver light sphere, as if forcibly compressed for a long time, suddenly began to expand.

"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's pupils contracted.

Because!

Wu Yuan was shocked to find that the silver light sphere began to rapidly expand, eventually turning into a silver light sphere with a diameter of a hundred miles.

Like a miniature star.

Suspended above the internal mountains and rivers, its surface had a faint layer of hazy silver brilliance, appearing quite sacred.

"This? What! What's going on?" Numerous thoughts flashed through Wu Yuan's mind. His vision was now extremely high.

He quickly understood a thing or two.

"Outside, the silver light sphere is subject to the invisible suppression and restraint of the real heaven and earth?" Wu Yuan thought to himself, "And in my internal mountains and rivers, the rules are not perfect. Although it cannot completely resist the rule suppression of the real heaven and earth, reaching the Ninth Layer of Mountains and Rivers has at least some ability, reducing its restraint by more than half?"

"Enough to reveal its true appearance?"

Wu Yuan, with his condensed divine consciousness avatar, looked up. He saw the countless silver secret patterns that were originally difficult to discern.

Now, after being magnified billions of times!

Wu Yuan finally saw it clearly, mysterious, profound, and unfathomable.

Countless secret patterns intertwined, numerous mysterious threads, with an incredible degree of delicacy, made him marvel and feel shocked!

He had never seen such profound Dao patterns, like an insurmountable sacred mountain, giving him an instinctive sense of reverence and worship.

Even.

"Why do I feel that even the Dao patterns of the stellar way, communicated in the depths of the cosmic void, seem to be far less profound than these silver patterns?" Wu Yuan was astonished.

He vaguely understood why Master said that if he could comprehend this path, he would become incredibly powerful!

How could it not be powerful?

"These patterns?" Wu Yuan carefully observed, sensed, and deduced.

He believed that with Master's insight, if he asked himself to comprehend, he must have some certainty.

"Three hundred years?" Wu Yuan couldn't understand it at first.

Countless secret patterns were too complex.

They were much more complicated than the Longevity Dao and Stellar Dao that Wu Yuan had comprehended, with a complexity thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater. It was like a tangled mess, making it difficult to know where to start.

Moreover.

Wu Yuan could sense that the countless secret patterns constituting the silver light sphere maintained a peculiar balance.

If the balance collapsed, once it erupted, the power would undoubtedly be terrifying!

"Can't see through?"
