Chapter 74, The Vast World, Cultivation Soars! [Please Subscribe!]

After entering this place, Su Ye learned about the abnormality of this small world and drew conclusions from the energy of this world.

This seal most likely comes from a higher plane above the Dou Qi Continent, a world called Da Qian!

In this vast world, the energy of heaven and earth is not the "elemental energy" of Dou Qi Continent, but spiritual energy.

The level of spiritual energy is far higher than that of battle qi. Even absorbing it for just one day is better than cultivating in this realm for half a month.

Su Ye's gaze returned to the seal, watching the crystalline energy seeping from the seal's cracks.

What seeps out from behind this seal is spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy cannot help a peak Dou Sheng break through to Dou Di; only the primordial energy from the plane is essential for a peak Dou Sheng to break through to Dou Di.

In the original timeline, after the battle between the two emperors, the Flame Emperor tore apart the sky of the Dou Qi Continent, a feat known as "Battle Through the Heavens"!

Through the passage of that mysterious dimension, the primordial energy was drawn back to the continent, ultimately enabling the Five Emperors to break through the void and ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds.

That mysterious dimensional passage might be the location of the dimensional embryo of the Dou Qi Continent.

Based on his previous life's conclusions, Su Ye speculated that the reason the Dou Qi Continent's plane was sealed off might be that in the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago, some unknown and irresistible event occurred on the Dou Qi Continent.

Extraterrestrial evil race!

In ancient times, the second generation of the Holy God, along with his many followers, came from beyond the realm and launched a massive invasion of the Great Thousand Worlds.

As a lower plane under the jurisdiction of the Great Thousand World, the Dou Qi Continent is also among those coveted.

At that time, the continent was filled with powerful warriors and numerous Dou Di (Battle Emperors). In order to protect their homeland and thwart the covetousness of the evil race, they...

Many Dou Di (Battle Emperors) resolutely tore through the dimensional barriers, embarked on expeditions to the Great Thousand Worlds, and plunged into the Great Thousand Catastrophe where life and death were almost inevitable.

Before their departure, to prevent the extraterrestrial evil races from finding the Dou Qi Continent by following the aura of the plane, the Dou Di, with their supreme power, joined forces to completely seal the plane passage between the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World.

While this action isolated the evil race and protected the lives of the people on the continent, it also severed the supply of the primordial energy that the Dou Qi Continent relied on for its survival.

The primordial energy, also known as the source energy, is the only fundamental way to break through to the Dou Di realm.

To take the final step at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, one must draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth to cleanse oneself, thus transforming into the Dou Di Dharma Body and achieving the status of Dou Di.

However, once the plane is sealed, there is no possibility of the source energy flowing in again, and the existing source energy on the mainland is only consumed and not replenished, becoming increasingly scarce.

Time flows by, and a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

The source energy of the Dou Qi Continent was continuously depleted during numerous attempts to reach the Dou Di level, and finally dried up completely more than 10,000 years ago.

Since then, no one has been able to break through the Dou Sheng barrier, and the Dou Di has become a legend.

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, Xiao Xuan, the Soul Emperor, and other exceptionally talented individuals could only remain at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm throughout their entire lives.

Until ten thousand years ago, the ancient emperor Tuoshegu appeared out of nowhere.

He was originally a strange fire in the world, and after devouring twenty-two strange fires, he cultivated the "Burning Technique".

In the Dou Qi Continent where the source energy was exhausted, he forcibly broke through to the Dou Di realm, shattering the despairing statement that "there will never be another Dou Di in the world."

After the ancient emperor Tuoshe, the source energy was completely cut off, and the Douqi Continent entered a "period without emperors" that lasted for ten thousand years.

The ancient emperor's cave, the Tuoshe ancient emperor's jade, a source of inherited energy, and a nascent emperor-grade pill he left behind became the only hope for future generations to become emperors.

Su Ye withdrew his thoughts and did not tell Yun Potian about these ancient events.

"That is a world at a higher level than the Dou Qi Continent."

The phantom of Yun Potian remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.

"I see."

"No wonder—no wonder my all-out attack back then couldn't even scratch the seal."

He looked at Su Ye, his unreal eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Since you know of the existence of the Great Thousand Worlds, your origins must be extraordinary."

"I originally thought that what was sealed away might be the legacy left behind by some Battle Saint, but who could have imagined—"

Yun Potian sighed softly, no longer discussing the topic, and instead said, "My remaining strength is no longer enough to break this seal, but you are different, young friend."

He paused, his voice becoming serious.

"If you are able to break this seal one day in the future, I only ask one thing of you."

Su Ye looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

"Please take my remains and the jade slip containing my inheritance out of this place and return them to the Yunlan Sect."

Yun Potian's voice was more solemn than ever before.

"I, Yun Potian, established the Yunlan Sect's thousand-year foundation, yet in the end, I cannot even have my own remains returned to the sect's ancestral hall."

"This is the biggest regret of my life."

"You may take whatever you wish from the inheritance inside, young friend. I only ask that a portion of it be left to my unworthy descendants."

Su Ye remained silent for a moment.

"Can."

In short, it was decisive and efficient.

Yun Potian's illusory figure smiled with relief, as if he had finally let go of his thousand-year-old obsession.

He solemnly cupped his hands to Su Ye.

Thank you.

The phantom transformed into a wisp of light and slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.

The pale blue jade slip hidden in the skeleton's bosom floated up on its own and fell into Su Ye's hand.

The jade slip felt warm to the touch. It contained all of Yun Potian's lifelong learning, including his battle qi techniques and skills, a dazzling array of top-tier inheritances at the Dou Zun level.

Su Ye glanced at it and put it into the sea of ​​suffering.

These things were of little use to him.

He only copied a few Earth-rank cultivation techniques that were useful to him.

But since I've already promised Yun Potian, I'll just take him back to Yunlan Sect along the way.

After Yun Potian's remnant soul completely subsided, Su Ye turned to face the seal.

The sealing patterns flowed slowly in the void, emanating an obscure yet vast fluctuation.

The flow of each pattern was exquisite, layer upon layer, interlocking to form a sealing formation that even Su Ye had to take seriously.

He examined it for a long time.

This seal truly transcends the realm of Dou Zun.

At least at the Dou Sheng level.

Even higher.

However, after the erosion of time and the constant impact of spatial energy, some fine cracks have appeared on the surface of the seal.

Those cracks were as fine as hair; if one's divine sense were not as sharp as Su Ye's, they would be completely undetectable.

It is precisely these cracks that allow the spiritual energy behind the seal to seep out.

Su Ye raised his hand, his fingertips touching the surface of the seal.

A surging force of recoil erupted from the depths of the seal, like a ferocious beast that had been dormant for a thousand years suddenly awakening.

That power was so domineering that it could seriously injure an ordinary Dou Zun on the spot.

Su Ye loosely clenched his fists.

Purple divine power surged from his palm, colliding head-on with the force of the backlash.

boom!

The entire secret realm was shaken.

The ground was torn apart, and spatial cracks spread in all directions like a spider web.

The patterns on the seal's surface suddenly lit up, emitting a blinding white light, as if it had been thoroughly enraged.

Su Ye withdrew her hand and took a few steps back.

It's not that it can't be broken.

Instead, it requires paying a sufficient price.

With his current cultivation level, it's not impossible for him to forcibly break this seal.

However, doing so would consume a lot of luck and fortune, making it a losing proposition.

Moreover, no one can be sure what is hidden behind the seal.

It's not worth the risk.

It's not worth it, at least not now.

Su Ye sat down cross-legged in front of the seal.

He then switched to cultivating a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique called "The Blazing Sun Scripture" from Yun Potian's lineage.

After the repair was successfully completed, he opened his eyes.

Although the seal cannot be broken, the spiritual energy seeping from the gaps in the seal can be absorbed.

His divine sense condensed into an invisible vortex, drawing in all the pure spiritual energy scattered around the seal.

The crystal-clear spiritual energy stretched into streams of light in the air and flowed into his body.

Each wisp of spiritual energy was crystal clear, radiating a soft glow, and stretched into fine streams of light in the air.

The flowing light intertwined into a net, enveloping Su Ye within it.

The first wisp of spiritual energy entered the body.

The battle qi system was the first to respond.

The bottleneck of the Seven Star Dou Huang was gradually loosened under the infusion of this pure spiritual energy.

The crystals solidified continuously in the vortex, and although their volume did not increase, their density increased several times over.

Eight-Star Douhuang.

The spiritual energy continued to flow in without ceasing.

Nine-Star Douhuang.

The air rotation speed reached an unprecedented level of ferocity, causing the surrounding air to whistle and rumble.

Peak of the Battle Emperor!

The crystal suddenly shrank.

It then suddenly expanded.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Su Ye's body!

He directly ascended to the Dou Zong realm!

One-star Dou Zong!

At that very moment.

Su Ye's brow twitched slightly.

He sensed the space.

It's not a superficial perception like scanning an object's location in space with divine sense, but rather space itself.

The world seemed to change before his eyes.

The space between all things is no longer nothingness, but a thin film invisible to the naked eye.

This film is everywhere, enveloping the rocks, the dust, and even the air itself.

Dou Zong.

The true watershed moment for the strong in the Dou Qi Continent.

No matter how strong a Dou Huang is, he can only borrow power from the world; ultimately, he is still separated by this membrane.

But the Dou Zong is different.

With both hands, one can touch the outline of space and sense countless faint lines hidden beneath the void.

The patterns of spatial laws.

Su Ye raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.

The invisible membrane that my fingertips touched was slightly concave, like a taut piece of leather being gently pressed.

He had a sudden thought.

The five fingers are loosely clenched.

The space about a foot in front of him suddenly distorted.

The air was compressed into translucent folds visible to the naked eye, and light bent into eerie arcs as it passed through.

Space distortion.

The Dou Zong has a basic grasp of spatial power.

Su Ye released his grip, and the distorted space slowly bounced back to its original state.

He closed his eyes, absorbing this understanding of space into his body.

The Dou Qi system's perception of spatial laws flowed into the Secret Realm Law system along another path.

The meridian pathways of the Four Extremes Secret Realm lit up instantly.

Deep in the sea of ​​suffering, that golden seedling sways gently.

Three golden threads of energy on the leaf lit up at the same time.

The two systems' understanding of the laws of space permeated and merged with each other as the golden leaves trembled.

Su Ye's lips curled up slightly.

The benefits of practicing multiple systems together are now fully revealed.

The secret realm method of the world of Shrouding the Heavens involves opening up the human body and the universe. Unless the scriptures one cultivates touch upon the power of the void, one's mastery of the laws of space can only truly begin after entering the secret realm of the Immortal Platform.

However, their fighting spirit systems are different.

At the Dou Zong realm, one can begin to touch space, while at the Dou Zun realm, one can tear through space and traverse the void.

This spatial insight from the Battle Qi system is currently feeding back into the Secret Realm Technique.

Su Ye did not continue to break through.

The remaining spiritual energy will be used for other purposes.

He channeled all the remaining pure spiritual energy into the secret realm's magic system, circulating it along the meridian routes of the Four Extreme Secret Realms.

The arms and legs correspond to the four cardinal directions of heaven and earth, and at this moment, nourished by spiritual energy, they emit a slight humming sound.

Every bone trembled, every inch of flesh cheered.

The meridian pathways of the Four Extremes Secret Realm lit up within my body.

Purple divine light surged from the depths of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, merging with the incoming spiritual energy.

Two great rivers merge into one torrent, rushing along the meridians of the arms and legs.

The four limbs correspond to the four cardinal directions of heaven and earth.

These are the four pillars connecting the human microcosm with the external macrocosm.

It connects with the heavens above and the earth below.

The four poles are connected, and heaven and earth are in harmony.

This time, with the blessing of the laws of space, the resonance between the four poles and heaven and earth was several times stronger than usual.

Su Ye's body shone with a brilliant purple light.

The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was drawn by an invisible Daoist rhythm, transforming into visible ripples that spread in all directions.

The void before the seal was slightly distorted.

Four Extremes and Three Heavens —

Four poles and four heavens!

Things will fall into place naturally.

Su Ye opened his eyes and looked down at his hands. The purple divine power flowing between his fingers was much more refined than before.

Each strand of divine power now contained a subtle spatial rhythm.

He made a casual swipe.

As the fingertips passed by, the space rippled like water.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm should not possess such spatial power.

This is an extra gift that the Battle Qi system brings to the Secret Realm Magic.

Su Ye lowered his hand, his mind clearing.

Both systems have their own strengths.

The Battle Qi system allows one to touch space in the early stages, while the Secret Realm system achieves great heights in the later stages.

The two reinforce and complement each other, producing an effect far superior to either practice alone.

And this is just the beginning.

As one's cultivation of battle qi continues to improve, one's understanding of space will become increasingly profound.

This understanding of the Secret Realm Reinforcement Technique will give him an advantage over other cultivators of the same level in every realm.

Although the cultivation level of the Fourth Heaven of the Four Extremes is still not considered profound, each step of improvement means that one is one step closer to the Sendai Secret Realm.

Su Ye looked up at the sky.

The dim, yellowish light overhead remained silent.

There were no gathering clouds of calamity, no surging thunder.

The cultivation level of the secret realm technique broke through from the second level of the fourth realm to the fourth level of the fourth realm, which should have attracted a heavenly tribulation.

But this is the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

The laws of this world are different from those of the world of Shrouding the Heavens; heavenly tribulations do not descend upon this realm.

Once he returns to the world, the will of heaven and earth will sense the breakthrough aura accumulating within him, and the heavenly tribulation that descends upon him will likely be even more ferocious than usual.

Su Ye withdrew his gaze, unconcerned.

The tribulation of two breakthroughs combined is a near-death experience for ordinary cultivators.

For him, it was just a matter of putting in a little more effort.

Su Ye stood up and took one last look at the dark seal.

The seal remained suspended quietly in the void, its patterns slowly flowing, as if it had never changed since time immemorial.

The spiritual energy seeping from the cracks was still drifting away in wisps.

Behind this seal may lie a path leading to the vast world.

He will return once he has accumulated enough experience to reach the Sendai realm.

At that time, the seal may not be able to stop him.

When Su Ye returned to the exit, Yun Potian's remains had already been stored in a separate storage ring.

The rift reopened before him.

He took a step forward.

Sunlight pierced my eyes.

Yun Yun remained seated cross-legged on the boulder in front of the stone wall, and suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing the noise.

She saw Su Ye emerge from the crack, his blue and white Taoist robe spotless, his face as calm as ever.

But the purple light in those eyes was a whole level deeper than it had been before they entered the Gate of Life and Death.

And his scent.

It became even more somber.

Yun Yun was deeply moved, but her expression remained only slightly changed.

Three days ago, this person was already able to easily defeat two Dou Zongs.

Now that his aura has advanced further, just how far has it reached?

She dared not think.

"you----"

Yun Yun opened her mouth, but in the end only said, "I'm out."

Su Ye hummed in agreement and casually tossed the pale blue jade slip and Yun Potian's bone storage ring to her.

Yun Yun caught it instinctively, and when she looked down, her pupils shrank.

The jade slip is engraved with an ancient character for "cloud," written with vigorous strokes, exuding a sharp aura belonging to that era a thousand years ago.

Her fingers trembled slightly.

"This is—the Patriarch—"

"This is a relic of Yun Potian, the founder of your Yunlan Sect."

Su Ye continued.

"He passed away a thousand years ago in the deepest part of the secret realm. His last wish was for future generations to bring his remains and legacy back to the sect."

Su Ye also benefited, as he had already replicated the useful parts of the inheritance inside.

Yun Yun held the jade slip and the storage ring, remaining silent for a long time.

Her eyes were a little red, but she held them back.

Thank you.

Although Su Ye didn't kill her teacher, Yun Shan would still be alive now if it weren't for Su Ye.

But at this moment, Su Ye returned all of Ancestral Master Yun Potian's inheritance to her intact. Originally, he could have kept everything without saying anything and simply embezzled it all, and no one would have known.

What an incredible favor!

A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in Yunyun's heart.

Su Ye glanced at her.

He could see the weariness and complexity on that pretty face, but he didn't say anything.

His connection with Yun Yun began with a transaction in the Monster Mountain Range and ended with the fulfillment of the agreement at the Gate of Life and Death.

Now that the transaction is complete and the agreement has been fulfilled, there is no longer any connection between the two.

Su Ye's gaze passed over her and looked towards the direction of the main hall of the Yunlan Sect.

The ruins have been cleared, and a new main hall is being rebuilt. Hundreds of disciples are moving wood and stones through the ruins.

"Your teacher is colluding with the Soul Palace; he's doomed sooner or later."

"If the Yunlan Sect wants to survive, it should completely sever ties with the Soul Palace."

Su Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Yun.

Goodbye.

A flash of purple light.

The purple divine rainbow soared through the sky and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yun stood alone in front of the stone wall behind the mountain, holding the jade slip and storage ring left by the patriarch, watching the purple light disappear into the horizon.

She lowered her head and looked at the powerful "cloud" character on the pale blue jade slip in her hand.

Then he clenched it tightly, turned around, and walked towards the main hall.

Her steps were much steadyer than when she came.
