Countless brilliant beams of light, like interwoven streams, spread across the magnificent, original wonders [Original Debut] Not far away, a fierce, tumultuous explosion erupted, caused by an unknown meteor. The resulting shockwave buffeted the surroundings with howling fierce winds, causing the void to writhe and distort as if it were an inflating balloon.
There was no Heaven and Earth energy to absorb into the body; desolation and stillness were the eternal essence. Explosions, deadly fierce winds, bone-chilling blades, and the omnipresent sea of chaotic currents constituted this place—the interior of the Void Turbulence.
It was endless here; no one knew if there was a boundary, nor could anyone explore its ultimate mysteries. Generally, only those who cultivate the profound mystery of Space can survive here.
Of course, beings whose cultivation has reached an incredibly high level, having stepped into immortality, if they found a way to enter, could also leave with ease and survive here, albeit constantly facing extreme peril. At this moment, within a gorgeously illuminated light barrier wonder, Xia Xinyan and Zi Yao were inside an energy shield, observing the surrounding scene, their beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance.
Right before them, the radiant light formed by the massive explosion was as breathtakingly beautiful as the most spectacular fireworks, deeply stunning them both. Such scenic beauty could not be glimpsed in any conventional star domain.
Though fraught with danger at every step, it was brimming with miracles and mystery, exhilarating the heart and spirit. However, their divine power was rapidly depleting...
Even remaining motionless required them to maintain the light shield enveloping their bodies with divine power, to prevent external streaking lights from penetrating and impacting them, which would cause their divine bodies to shatter into dust. "So beautiful.
Scenery like this only exists in dreams. I never imagined it could be so wondrous." Zi Yao, clad in a purple dress and utterly captivated, gazed at the magnificent explosions nearby, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Unlike her, a trace of terror flickered across Xia Xinyan's face, as if recalling something extremely dreadful. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and a chill permeated her heart.
"What's wrong? You seem extremely afraid of this place?" Zi Yao asked, surprised.
"Many years ago, I experienced the Void Turbulence. That area was also a void fissure, formed by the collapse of a void passage.
In reality, that place was far less perilous than this, but it left an indelible impression on me for life..." Xia Xinyan sighed softly, a look of lingering fear crossing her face, as if revisiting the past. Back then, she and many cultivators from the Pure Land were evacuating through a void passage in the Ice Fire Mystic Realm.
That void passage collapsed, connecting to the Void Turbulence. After struggling through that passage, they arrived at the Shadow Ghost Prison in the Maya Star Domain.
Yet, only a handful of people actually managed to survive. All the others perished within the Void Turbulence, taken by that terrifying, life-extinguishing abyss.
At that time, her cultivation was far weaker than it was today, and the void passage they traversed was only marginally connected to the Void Turbulence after its collapse, making it much safer compared to the true Void Turbulence of today... Gazing at this scene, which felt slightly familiar, the chill in her heart from that year seemed to envelop her entire being.
Just then, Shi Yan abruptly appeared beside her with a flash, smiling calmly. He suddenly said, "You can actually adapt to this place.
Today's you is already far removed from that time. Drop your light shield and move around here.
I am by your side; I will look after you." "Forget it." Xia Xinyan shook her head, offering a wry smile. "I wouldn't dare mess around in a place like this." "You can," Shi Yan encouraged, his expression suddenly serious.
He spoke sharply, "The memory of entering the Maya Star Domain from the Ice Fire Mystic Realm back then is a deep-seated demon in your heart, preventing you from recalling it, from daring to think about it. I deeply understand the marvel of your profound mystery.
You can recall past memories moment by moment by returning through time, and similarly, you can continuously break through realms, but those breakthroughs are all built upon one foundation: the past 'you' must have reached the realm you are trying to break through to..." He paused, then suddenly continued, "Your recent cultivation breakthroughs have stalled, and your divine power... has clearly reached the bottleneck for the next stage." Upon hearing this, Xia Xinyan’s pretty face shifted slightly.
"You can tell?" Shi Yan nodded. "The memories from my previous lives only reached the first layer of the Origin God realm, and there are no further breakthroughs to the second layer, nor subsequent experiences or memories," Xia Xinyan explained.
Prior to this, every breakthrough in her cultivation only required the accumulation of power; it didn't demand profound comprehension of profound mysteries, because the cultivation insights from her past lives would surge in at the opportune moment, filling the void in her understanding and allowing her to skip a step directly. But now, she no longer possessed that abnormal advantage, because in her memory, none of her previous incarnations had reached the level of the second layer Origin God.
This meant that if she wished to continue advancing, she could only rely on her own effort, on her careful comprehension. On that Island of Reincarnation, she was infused with a pure power by Dicaro, and at that time, her divine power had condensed to its absolute limit, reaching the bottleneck of breaking through to the second layer Origin God.
The reason she hadn't broken through further was precisely this: she lacked the experiential understanding of the second layer Origin God realm. From this point forward, she would have to rely on her own true innate talent.
However, the experience of entering the Maya Star Domain back then was a psychological demon in her heart. Because she dared not face it, dared not seek out her past self through memory, she had remained constrained.
As long as this inner demon wasn't vanquished, it would be difficult for her to continue surpassing herself based on her own talent. Shi Yan brought her here precisely to dispel that inner demon and force her to confront her true self.
"To expel an inner demon, you must open your heart. Take down your light shield and operate within this external turbulence.
Don't be afraid; I will handle everything," Shi Yan coaxed gently, guiding her with mild persuasion. "I am here; you are completely safe.
This Void Turbulence is not as terrifying as you imagine. You feared it back then, but now you have stepped into the Origin God realm, and with me by your side, you can completely roam this place..." Like a magical sound entering her heart, spurred by his continuous encouragement, a resolute light shone in Xia Xinyan's serene eyes.
"Alright." The layers of energy shields enveloping her suddenly vanished. Her delicate body was completely exposed to the Void Turbulence, immediately subjected to infiltration by numerous external streaking lights, with unknown dregs and residual energies rushing into her body, attempting to corrupt her flesh and erode her divine body.
She had experienced this very scene years ago. Now that the familiar sensation resurfaced, her expression immediately changed, her usual composure shattered.
She actually cried out suddenly. "Use divine power to cleanse your entire body!
Use divine power to expel the internal residue! Keep the Altar of the Soul clear, and you will be seamless in body and mind, impervious to all evil!" Shi Yan suddenly roared, his voice like a thunderclap exploding within Xia Xinyan's mind.
Xia Xinyan’s delicate body trembled slightly, and the panic vanished from her beautiful eyes, which became clear. A captivating radiance appeared on her face.
She trusted Shi Yan completely and did not hesitate to act according to his instructions. She urged forth the power of the Divine Power Ancient Tree, circulating it throughout her body, flushing out the residual energy and external evil forces that had pierced her skin, maintaining clarity of mind and soul, and activating her profound mysteries.
A marvelous sense of the passage of time emanated from her; she seemed to be swimming in the long river of time, able to walk into the past and glimpse the future. It was extremely mysterious and profound.
The comprehension of the profound mystery of Time is just as marvelous as that of Space, yet exceedingly difficult to grasp. It is harder to even gain entry into than the profound mystery of Space, and harder to perceive its intricacies.
Even within the God Clan, there are no texts regarding the profound mystery of Time. In all of recorded history, those who mastered the profound mystery of Time were even rarer than those who mastered the profound mystery of Space.
Therefore, no one could guide Xia Xinyan. To transcend herself and enter a higher realm, she could only rely on her own perception, on her innate talent.
"This is quite interesting. I want to try it too." Zi Yao, watching from the side with a smile playing on her lips, also dismissed the light shield covering her body, exposing herself.
She was only at the peak of the Void God realm, just one step away from the Origin God realm. Yet, as she dropped her protective shield, her expression was utterly calm, without a hint of panic, because she had not endured the bitter suffering Xia Xinyan suffered back then; she had no inner demon, making her naturally more composed.
A strange light suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly asked, "Isn't this feeling quite comfortable?" This statement stunned Shi Yan, who looked at her in surprise.
"What do you mean?" "It feels like bathing in a hot spring, being permeated by a strange power. It feels like my meridians and bones are becoming tougher and stronger.
Do you feel that?" she asked, smiling sweetly. "No!
Absolutely not!" Shi Yan exclaimed in horror, looking at her as if she were some strange demon or ghost. "You...
you feel comfortable, like bathing in a hot spring, without any divine power protecting you? Are you certain?" As far as Shi Yan knew, any living being entering this place would feel extremely uncomfortable!
Even for him, a cultivator of Space's profound mystery, while he could avoid much danger here, he couldn't absorb any energy. Because there is no Heaven and Earth energy here; the energy that exists is deadly and terrifying, impossible to absorb.
Those who remove their divine power shields usually suffer greatly, like a fish out of water, or a person submerged deep in the ocean—they adapt poorly. But Zi Yao clearly looked as if she were enjoying herself, her demeanor relaxed, much like a fish entering the ocean!
Something was amiss! "I'm certain; it's clearly very comfortable." Zi Yao lightly waved her fair hands, dancing like butterflies in the midst of the violent fierce winds, completely unaffected.
A strange light ignited in Shi Yan's eyes. He suddenly said, "Can you strengthen your power here?
Can you continue cultivating?" "I wasn't deliberately cultivating, but power really is actively drilling into my body—oh!" She suddenly let out a soft cry, joy appearing on her delicate, lovely face. "Do you remember that the profound mystery I cultivate is very special?
My mystery is comprehended by absorbing external streaking lights. Those external streaking lights...
also possess a form of life consciousness, very similar to Celestial Fire, remember?" "I remember," Shi Yan nodded. "The aura here is very similar to the aura of those external streaking lights I absorbed before.
Those few streams of light that possessed life... seem to have originated from here.
This place is like the home of those strange lights, and here, I also feel a sense of... home," Zi Yao murmured dreamily.
Shi Yan listened quietly, his expression growing more bewildered and perplexed, completely confused. ...
