Tian Yuan

Luoshen Ruins, the realm of enlightenment.

In the ninth heaven, a strange light suddenly appeared in a certain area of ​​the sea of ​​fog.

Chen Qingyuan sensed something and stopped practicing.

Turning his head and looking in that direction, he could see through millions of miles of void and see the scenery in the distance.

A tiankeng appeared in that territory, located at the upper end of the sea of ​​fog. It looked like an inverted abyss. Billions of rays of light sprayed out from it, and it exuded a strong Taoist charm, which looked particularly extraordinary.

"call out--"

While there were not many strong men here yet, Chen Qingyuan wanted to seize the opportunity that was before him and improve his own strength as quickly as possible. Without hesitation, he left the formation and headed straight for the tiankeng.

It didn't take much time to reach the destination despite the distance of tens of millions of miles.

The tiankeng area is surrounded by countless ancient laws.

Chen Qingyuan looked up and observed, carefully studying these ancient laws. He seemed to understand but not quite, and murmured, "These are very ancient traces. I don't know exactly which era they came from."

As usual, an incarnation was sent into the tiankeng to investigate the situation.

The incarnation entered and maintained contact with the original body and was not isolated.

Through this method, Chen Qingyuan saw the scene inside the sinkhole.

Inside is an inverted world with mountains, water, and the fluctuations of spiritual objects and the rhyme of Tao.

With just a cursory glance, he discovered three top-grade medicinal herbs. Although they were of no use to Chen Qingyuan, they were priceless treasures in the outside world, enough to attract a group of powerful people to fight for them.

"Yin and Yang are reversed."

Chen Qingyuan determined the laws and rules of this inverted small world and searched for the corresponding information in his sea of ​​consciousness, but unfortunately there was no result.

There have been so many outstanding people throughout the ages, and many of them hid themselves. They did not show their charisma until before they passed away, and thus were unknown to the world and could not be recorded in ancient books.

If the prince Nangong Ge was here, he might be able to deduce some traces of time. Chen Qingyuan was not very proficient in this and was quite confused about what was happening.

"Let's get the resources first."

There is no need to delve into how the tiankeng world was formed. Chen Qingyuan controlled the incarnation to explore further. If he encountered danger, he would cut off the connection with the incarnation as soon as possible to avoid backlash against the main body.

In just half an hour, more than ten top-grade medicinal herbs and one top-grade holy medicine had been obtained.

The trip was fruitful and worthwhile.

After the incarnation came out, all the resources were taken by Chen Qingyuan, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After obtaining the resources, take a closer look at the laws and trajectories of the Tiankeng Secret Realm.

After the incarnation's exploration, this secret place should not be dangerous.

Therefore, Chen Qingyuan himself had to come in person so that he could see the situation inside the secret realm more clearly.

"In this upside-down world, the rules and order are different from those of the outside world. They are unique and have a tendency to transcend the avenue."

Chen Qingyuan stretched out his hand and grasped a ray of invisible law in the palm of his hand. His eyes flickered with brilliance and he performed a secret pupil technique to examine it carefully.

To transcend the Great Dao is something that even emperors of many eras cannot do. One needs to act within the rules of the Great Dao and must not violate the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

The fluctuations in the laws of the ancient monument here, although with only a slight tendency to transcend, are also extraordinary, enough to shock Chen Qingyuan's mind and make him quite surprised.

"This must be the place where some ancient being passed away."

After glancing around a few times, Chen Qingyuan concluded.

"I don't know what kind of person he is. He almost jumped out of the avenue."

There have been countless great men throughout the ages, and it is impossible to know the identity and origin of the Lord of the Ruins based solely on the fluctuations of these laws.

Anyway, this place could not have been constructed by the laws of heaven and earth, but was created by acquired creatures.

The reason is very simple. It is impossible for the order of heaven and earth to condense a secret realm that has nothing to do with its own order.

"If one can truly transcend the rules of this universe, can one obtain immortality?"

After pondering for a long time, Chen Qingyuan inexplicably thought of this point. His eyes became deep, and an indescribable light flashed across his eyes.

The way to immortality is something that countless creatures dream of. Even an emperor who was invincible for an era could not escape the temptation of immortality, pursued it painstakingly, and eventually died on this path.

"Whoops——"

Chen Qingyuan waved his sleeves lightly, rolling up a few ripples of laws that remained in the ruins, and then protected them with his great magical powers to facilitate long-term storage and prevent them from being destroyed by the order of the outside world.

In the years to come, you can slowly study the strange rules of the secret realm of the tiankeng. Whether you can gain some insights depends entirely on your luck.

"call out--"

Keeping this upside-down world in mind, Chen Qingyuan turned around and retreated to the outside world, returning to the vast sea of ​​fog.

After a few more days, the sea of ​​fog surged, causing a wave of laws, making many areas restless.

Chen Qingyuan noticed something and went to investigate from a closer distance.

"spring!"

In certain areas of the fog sea, more than a dozen spiritual springs have condensed, gushing out like a tide, pure and rich.

"Lucky, I benefited from it."

Faced with this kind of thing, Chen Qingyuan sat cross-legged near the spring without hesitation.

Restrictions were set up for defense and all the springs were covered. The pure spiritual fluid could not flow to other places and would eventually be refined into Chen Qingyuan's body.

After deducing the first part of the Sutra of Samsara, Chen Qingyuan's cultivation speed is much faster than before. In the first few steps of the Divine Bridge Realm, as long as the resources are sufficient to meet the needs of the Taoist body, his cultivation can be improved.

"Crash..."

Extremely pure spiritual liquid gathered towards Chen Qingyuan from all directions, causing ripples and sparkling water.

Whenever he encounters a suitable opportunity, Chen Qingyuan will try his best to improve his own strength and never waste time.

Although he gave up many opportunities on the road ahead by arriving at the Ninth Heaven ahead of time, he was able to be the first to seize the fortune of the Ninth Heaven and even obtained the extremely significant Sword of the Human Emperor, with great luck against the sky.

He went into seclusion again and devoted himself to cultivation.

They will never stop until these springs of spiritual energy are drained dry.

After refining all the springs, I wonder if I can break through a major bottleneck and reach the fifth step of the Divine Bridge.

Hope so!

During the retreat, Chen Qingyuan took out the sycamore seedling that he had carried with him.

An emerald green jade bottle, with a paulownia seedling growing inside it, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings. Its branches and leaves swayed slightly, and it jumped for joy, its gratitude towards Chen Qingyuan becoming even stronger.

......

There are constant battles in many corners of the road, and great men often fall.

As the current Dragon King, Lao Hei is a nine-clawed real dragon with treasures all over his body. Many old monsters have set their sights on Lao Hei, and have united to lay a net, just to drink dragon blood and eat dragon bones.

The old monsters who dared to take action were all alone. They didn't have many years left to live anyway, and they had no worries. Seeing a real dragon that had not yet grown up often swaying in front of them, they really couldn't help but dare to give it a try.
