Chapter Twenty-Four: Xianyuan Pond

  The Third Layer of Void Heaven was a small, crescent-shaped island with an area of only about ten miles in circumference. Compared to the vast starry sky of the Ninth Layer of Void Heaven, this island was truly tiny. The island's surroundings were endless seas that stretched as far as the eye could see, with no visible horizon. No one knew what lay at the end of the sea, nor did anyone know just how large this ocean was.

  The sky is not blue with white clouds, but a layer of hazy fog, like a huge canopy covering the vault.

  Ding Yan discovered that although the third layer of Void Heaven was not large, the power contained within it was countless times that of the ninth layer of Void Heaven. Because Ding Yan had only walked a few steps before picking up dozens of sacred coins from the ground.

  What was originally collected with great difficulty and effort in the lower realm can be picked up casually here!

  These dew drops hang on the edges of some leaves, like pearls, crystal clear.

  Ding Yan soon discovered the difference in these immortal yuan, compared to the illusory and void heavenly immortal yuan below, the immortal yuan here was pure and almost transparent, with the power contained within, even without using it, could be clearly felt.

  "These immortal origins are obviously much purer than the ones below, and their power is probably infinitely close to that of pure immortal origins." Ding Yan carefully put away the dozen or so immortal origins in his sleeve and began to observe other parts of the island.

  The island wasn't very big, and Ding Yan finished looking around in less than two hours.

  Ding Yan returned to his original position and sat down cross-legged again.

  In the third layer of Void Heaven, immortal yuan can be seen everywhere. On the ground, in the grass, and in the cracks of rocks, as long as one thinks about it, Ding Yuan can instantly collect hundreds or thousands of grains. Moreover, the purity of these immortal yuan is almost transparent.

  "Take Xianyuan out, and it requires a soul that can withstand it, because what we entered here is only the consciousness..."

  Ding Yan recalled what the nameless Taoist had said when they met on the eighth floor.

  He took out a Xianyuan from his bosom and hesitated again.

  The power contained in this Xianyuan is more enormous than all the Xianyuans he had refined before, and Ding Yan was not sure whether his consciousness could withstand it. However, in Ding Yan's mind, there was another layer of thinking, that is, the power in his body now was absolutely impossible to support him entering the second layer of Void Heaven, if he didn't refine this Xianyuan, then when the next vortex appeared, his consciousness would definitely disperse.

  "It's over." Ding Yan's eyes flashed, and a resolute glint flickered in his eyes.

  Close your eyes, and the Qiankun Dao Jing starts to operate again. At the same time, that incomplete handprint appears once more.

  Rumble!!

  In an instant, Ding Yan only felt that the depths of his consciousness seemed to have exploded, a terrifying power surged into his palm, this feeling was like a massive flood pouring into a small ditch.

  In just one breath of time, Ding Yan's consciousness body had dissipated by more than half, and the Xian Yuan in his palm, from the surface, seemed to have not changed at all.

  "The power in this Spirit Coin..."

  Ding Yan was shocked.

  Although he already knew that the power of Xianyuan was extremely terrifying, it wasn't until now that he discovered he had still underestimated the power contained within.

  The third layer of Void Heaven's Xian Yuan! Equivalent to the Xian Yuan power refined by a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal, its contained power is almost enough to destroy heaven and earth. To think that one has just barely become a Scattered Immortal and yet wants to absorb this contained power is no different from seeking death.

  "It's all the same if I die, even if it means exhausting this spiritual body to collapse, I must absorb some of the Seven Tribulations' scattered immortals' essence to refine my immortal yuan!" Ding Yan gritted his teeth, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

  He was originally a Tribulation Cultivator, and although he had borrowed a corpse to revive his soul, how could he lose to a Seventh Tribulation Loose Immortal who was roughly the same as himself? Moreover, this was only one grain of Spiritual Origin.

  "Qian is heaven, Kun is earth, day is yang, month is yin, reversing Qian and Kun, inverting yin and yang, refine!"

  The fusion method of Qiankun Dao Jing, Ding said that he had performed countless times in his previous life, and now he is performing it again, without any unfamiliarity.

  The power transformed by Xianyuan was like a flood, tearing apart Dingyan's consciousness body, but still a small part remained, preserved by Dingyan using the powerful 'Lian' character technique, and merged into his own consciousness body.

  At this moment, in the void, that huge whirlpool appeared again.

  Headed to the gate of the second layer of Void Heaven and opened it once again.

  Ding Yan's consciousness was about to dissipate completely, but at the moment the vortex appeared, Ding Yan suddenly sat up, his body transformed into a stream of light, and rushed into the vortex.

  The mist in the sky begins to distort.

  At the moment of entering the whirlpool, Ding Yan seemed to see the second layer and even the first layer of Xuwu Tian.

  The second layer of Void Heaven is a serene mountain valley, with a crystal-clear pool of water at its center.

  Inside the first layer of Void Sky, there is only a huge boulder, and the rest are all seawater...

  Space distorted, Ding Yan's nearly transparent consciousness appeared in mid-air. At this time, his consciousness was rapidly dissipating, absorbing the power of the third layer of Void Heaven, and also rapidly decreasing. At this moment, Ding Yan felt a bit like when he broke through to the Divine Transformation period in his past life, with a feeling of his soul wandering outside his body.

  Lowering his head to look down, Ding Yan saw a quiet and secluded mountain valley.

  Inside, there is a clear and transparent pool of water.

  What was even more shocking was that within this puddle of water, Ding Yan actually saw a fish!

  Here is the second layer of Void Heaven!

  In this desolate world, I unexpectedly encountered a living being.

  Ding Yan was shocked, his eyes scanned around, and then his pupils contracted.

  This pool of water is completely composed of fairy springs! Inside it, there is a fish, a fish living in the fairy spring pool!

  Without lingering too much, the whirlpool reappeared. At this moment, Ding Yan's body had absorbed all the power transformed from the third layer of Void Heaven Immortal Yuan.

  "After all, can't enter the last layer of Void Heaven...". At this time, Ding Yan's consciousness gradually became blurred, and his consciousness body had almost disappeared, leaving only a spark.

  After being sucked into the whirlpool, the terrifying force he had imagined did not come, but instead a warm feeling wrapped up his last bit of consciousness.

  Buzz!!

  Channel shock.

  A force like a spatial storm erupted, crushing Ding Yan's last bit of consciousness. In the instant of collapse, Ding Yan saw a vast expanse of blue water and a massive boulder floating on the surface.

  Here is the first layer of Void Heaven!

  It is said that only nine calamity scattered immortals can reach this world...

  Eastern region, on top of an unnamed stone mountain.

  The purple lightning, like a prison, shrouded the entire region. The purple lightning appeared about two years ago and initially didn't attract much attention. However, as time passed, it quickly caught the notice of many cultivators. Many people thought that an extraordinary treasure had emerged and attempted to come here to try their luck. But after two cultivators who had reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining were electrocuted into charcoal by the purple lightning, these people finally understood the terror of the purple lightning. After that, many people turned around and left, while a small number chose to stay behind.

  On this day, the purple lightning that was like a prison suddenly trembled slightly, and then showed signs of weakening.

  This subtle movement quickly caught the attention of the surrounding scattered cultivators, and many people hastily extended their spiritual awareness to probe towards Purple Thunder...
