Before me stretched the boundless sea, no longer shrouded in thick fog.
The sky was azure, and the sun shone brightly.
Jiang Ping was deeply moved and his heart was filled with emotion. Had he left the island?
However, their joy was short-lived, as the scene here suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
A sudden roar erupted, and the sea instantly surged with towering waves, each one reaching tens of thousands of feet high.
Buzz!
Countless Runes appeared, and white lotuses, like arcs of electricity, bloomed on the sea surface.
Achoo.
Jiang Ping stood in the Void, but felt a bone-chilling cold sweep over him, and couldn't help but sneeze.
He was terrified; he was already in a state of mental wandering, and even within the spatial rift, he was still affected by this power.
"This is the location of the Dao Mark of that Matchless Strong Person."
Past Body solemnly.
This reveals a fact: the terrifying force that hinders the martial saints of the world from behind is merely a trace of Dao Rhythm that has dissipated from the Near Dao. The real challenge lies in the white lotus on the sea before them.
Click!
Streaks of white lightning crisscrossed the area, the sea boiled violently, and the towering waves reached a height of 100,000 feet.
The sky was no longer azure, but resembled a galaxy overturning, with a majestic star gradually approaching, growing larger and larger.
"This isn't lightning; it's more like the materialization of Rules."
The Past Body was filled with horror. This was the manifestation of the power of Near-Dao Being after Palm Control. The true Rules the Great Dao were far more terrifying than the Divine Spirit Wander Tribulation that the original body had undergone.
Then, his body gradually dissipated.
Jiang Ping's expression was strange. In the Past Body could stay in the world for a period of time, but this other person dissipated on their own. Clearly, he was frightened by the scene before him and was unwilling to take the risk, or rather, he did not want to return in pain.
However, if his Past Body doesn't go to explore the path, we can't let his True Self Body go instead.
"Let's give it a try."
Jiang Ping thrust his Past Body into the passage, followed by screams of agony.
His expression changed slightly. Luckily, it wasn't him who went there, otherwise he might have been in real trouble.
Jiang Ping immediately made up his mind to return the way he came.
As a result, a voice came from the other end of the passage:
"Just kidding, come in."
Jiang Ping was taken aback.
Who makes fun of themselves?
Are you sure everything is okay?
"Relatively safe."
His Past Body reappeared, but he was in bad condition, bleeding from his body.
Jiang Ping still planned to go back, but this time he suggested Past Body it a try.
"We'll have to go out eventually. If Spirit Wander Realm doesn't have Primordial Spirit Great Medicine to replenish their energy, not only will their breakthrough be slow, but their foundation will also likely be unstable."
Jiang Ping paused.
During this time, he read through the classics of various Ancient Aristocratic Family and gained a relatively clear understanding of the Spirit Wander Realm.
This realm trains both the human body and the divine, using heavenly tribulations to transcend the Primordial Spirit True Self, with the forty-nine, seventy-nine, and Nine-Nine Tribulation being the most perilous.
To increase the chances of successfully Crossing the Tribulation, it is best to consume three kinds of Divine Medicine before the Four-Nine Tribulation to strengthen the gods.
"That's not the key point. The main thing is that if the gods are powerful enough before the Nine-Nine Tribulation, they can acquire the Undying characteristic ahead of time."
Then God spoke again.
In fact, this being forged sainthood through life and Life and Death, Primordial Spirit far surpasses that of others at the Same Realm.
The Four-Nine Tribulation are not a problem; the key lies in the seventh nine and the final Nine-Nine World-Ending Tribulation.
If one were to grant their true self the Undying characteristic before the Nine-Nine Tribulation, not only would their strength be greatly enhanced, but they would also have a greater chance of successfully surviving the Nine-Nine Tribulation.
"Throughout the entire Xuanxin Island, only the master of the Jimie Heavenly Technique reached this level back then. Before the Nine-Nine Tribulation, his Primordial Spirit already possessed the Undying characteristic."
The Past Body slowly opened their mouth.
This signifies an improvement in strength and a more solid foundation, granting premature Undying characteristic. Once the Nine-Nine Tribulation are overcome, even greater gains will be made.
Moreover, this also serves as proof of the pursuit of those who seek Close to the Dao Seed from outside the realm in this place.
If you don't possess the Undying characteristic in the Eighth Heaven, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself Close to the Dao Seed...
Finally, the True Self Body stepped into the passage and embarked on the journey once more.
Click!
The passage was somewhat cracked, a manifestation of the power of the Extreme Cold Dao being greatly weakened by the Heavenly Tide, yet it still managed to affect this place.
Jiang Ping felt a chill run down his spine. As he ventured deeper, Runes covered the entire landscape, and White Lotus interwoven with Rules bloomed across the sea.
Click!
In the distance, a white light shone, and Jiang Ping saw that countless Dao Rhythm had coalesced into a mighty river, overflowing the sea.
Thump!
A bell tolled from the horizon, a melodious and lingering Dao Sound, but Jiang Ping knew it was because of his unexpected arrival that the place had been revived and awakened.
The buzzing sound continued, and Jiang Ping looked up into the distance again, his entire body illuminated.
That was the sight of the sun's fall, a magnificent Great Sun tearing through the sky, drawing ever closer. Jiang Ping felt grateful for his insignificance, like a speck of dust, and trembled all over.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the moon also descended to earth, followed by the boundless Milky Way, with one great star after another approaching, causing the universe to tremble and the Milky Way to collapse.
Several times, Jiang Ping wanted to turn back, but he wasn't really affected. With the blessing of the Life Artistic Conception, minor injuries could heal at any time.
"The timing was just right; the Dao Mark were reduced by at least 90%."
He sighed in the Past Body.
The levels of Divine Journey and Near Dao are clearly very close, yet they seem to be separated by a vast distance. A Dao Mark left by a Near-Dao Being thousands of years ago has blocked the path to the Peak of Divine Journey.
"If you're not strong enough, how can you make those Heavenly talent bow down?"
Jiang Ping sighed. That realm was too profound. What talent did the master of the Jimie Heavenly Technique possess? He traveled through the Spirit Wander Eighth Heaven and mastered the Undying characteristic, creating an unprecedented Heavenly Art. He was definitely a top-notch one among those who were close to the Close to the Dao Seed, a supreme being among the True Saints. Yet, in the end, he still failed to Near Dao.
I'm leaving.
At this moment, his Past Body dissipated, and he could only remain in this world for a quarter of an hour. This was the third time he had been summoned.
"Um."
Jiang Ping nodded, his face showing exhaustion.
The Past Sword; even for him, it was very taxing on his mind and body. After summoning it three times in a row, he was already somewhat exhausted.
Moreover, the most difficult part is over, the surrounding area is gradually calming down, and I can start my journey alone.
Jiang Ping bathed in the Void True Intent, and walked slowly forward alone.
Even after the terrifying scenery around him completely disappeared, he remained cautious, exploring the way little by little, until he had traveled another thousand miles.
He took out a map.
This was given to him by Martial Saint Murong a long time ago. The map included the specific locations of hundreds of islands surrounding Xuanxin Island, as well as the main islands of the entire Northern You Archipelago.
After determining his location, Jiang Ping walked in a straight line towards the mainland.
Of course, he never revealed himself in the mortal world; he always wandered in the Void.
Because Jiang Ping had not seen any living beings or any trace of life along the way, the outside world was not necessarily safe.
And so he traveled alone until he had walked ten thousand miles before he stopped.
According to the map, the island in front of us is the closest to Xuanxin Island.
However, the area ahead was shrouded in a thick fog, and everything was obscured.
Undoubtedly, as the saints guessed, Xuanxin Island was not the only one sealed off by those who had attained Near Dao cultivation; other islands faced the same predicament.
Jiang Ping paused briefly, then walked around the circle of white mist and continued forward.
Over the next three days, he passed by dozens of islands marked on the map.
Without exception, they were all shrouded in a layer of mist, making the scenery inside unclear.
The only good news was that Jiang Ping was certain he had left Xuanxin Island.
Because ahead, a Sea Beast hundreds of feet long was lurking.
