Cultivating the Void Sutra

"Kid, the Bitter Sea has formed and will generate a Divine Pattern. Have you thought about what weapon you want to forge for the future?" After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the Void Mirror deity rang out at the perfect moment.

Ling Xuan pondered this carefully. In this world, a weapon capable of carrying his own Dao might accompany him throughout his growth, serving as an extension of his life and his Dao; he could not afford to be careless.

Even if he were to find a treasure like an Origin Embryo in the future, it could be used in conjunction with this, so he didn't need to worry about the quality of the material.

"Then I shall forge a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear," Ling Xuan said.

The weapon he was most accustomed to was the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, and he did not need any heavy artifacts to assist him.

Immediately, with a shift of his will, his powerful Stellar Origin Energy instantly hammered that newly born Divine Pattern into the shape of a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear.

"Senior, could this anomaly in my Bitter Sea be the legendary Sun God Physique?" Ling Xuan gazed at the churning sea of crimson-gold flames, his heart filled with both doubt and anticipation.

"It is not." The Void Mirror gave a cold, indifferent response, as if it were long accustomed to such questions.

"Then what kind of constitution is this? I always feel it is quite extraordinary." Ling Xuan asked, still harboring a sliver of hope.

The spatial patterns flowing across the surface of the Void Mirror glowed slightly, as if in thought, before it finally said, "I do not know either. Perhaps there is no such thing as a classification of constitutions in your world."

Perhaps because the Great Emperor's orthodoxy had been successfully passed down, the voice from the mirror carried a bit more warmth. "Hurry up and cultivate."

Before the words had even faded, strands of brilliant Dao essence, carrying the Great Dao Mantra, cascaded down like an inverted galaxy, weaving into mysterious seals around Ling Xuan and breaking down the obscure scriptures into their most easily understood forms.

"Understood!" Ling Xuan took a deep breath, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and submerged his entire consciousness into his body.

He circulated the Stellar Origin Energy within him; those energies flowed like a galloping galaxy, slowly descending toward the Bitter Sea below.

The Bitter Sea, which had originally glowed with a crimson-gold light, began to ripple slightly under the nourishment of the origin energy. Above the surface, flame-shaped ripples gradually became denser, as if accumulating some kind of power.

As Ling Xuan continuously guided the origin energy to pour in, the Bitter Sea began to expand, the speed starting slow before gradually accelerating.

When the Bitter Sea expanded to a certain extent, Ling Xuan sensed something unusual; he discovered that the flames within the Bitter Sea had begun to pulse with a certain rhythm.

Following this, Ling Xuan attempted to communicate with the Wheel of Life according to the methods recorded in the Void Sutra.

His consciousness, like an invisible hand, slowly reached into the depths of the Bitter Sea, searching for traces of the Wheel of Life deep within the endless flames.

At first, he found nothing, but Ling Xuan did not give up. He continuously adjusted his perception until, finally, in the deepest part of the Bitter Sea, he touched a faint yet resilient power—that was the Wheel of Life.

Ling Xuan instantly focused all his mental energy, guiding the majestic and vast flame power in the Bitter Sea in an extremely refined manner, allowing it to permeate the Wheel of Life.

In this process, he felt as if the Wheel of Life were an ancient beast that had been asleep for countless years and had just been awakened; it first stretched its body lazily, then began to rotate slowly.

In an instant, a majestic life essence, shocking in its intensity, surged out from the Wheel of Life like a burst dam, rushing toward the Bitter Sea.

The moment this life essence made contact with the flames in the Bitter Sea, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, instantly merging and producing a wondrous and astonishing transformation.

As the life essence continued to pour in, the flames in the Bitter Sea grew more vigorous, and the surface of the sea began to boil violently, like water in a pot.

Ling Xuan keenly seized this opportunity, skillfully guiding these merged forces to tightly connect the source of life essence produced by the Wheel of Life with the Bitter Sea.

In the end, at the bottom of what was originally a desolate and withered Bitter Sea, a Life Spring was formed, flowing endlessly and full of vitality.

"The Life Spring is complete! Continue forging the weapon." Ling Xuan let out a low shout. As the second Divine Pattern merged into the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, the blade instantly erupted with an even more dazzling light, appearing increasingly mysterious, unfathomable, and miraculous.

"Continue the breakthrough." Ling Xuan's gaze was as steady as a torch; he did not stop for even a moment.

The nine scorching suns above the Bitter Sea seemed to have received an order; they operated at full capacity, continuing to inject Stellar Origin Energy into the Bitter Sea and the Life Spring.

Supported by this powerful energy, the Bitter Sea once again began its expansion, inflating continuously like a giant balloon being filled with air.

Before long, in the center of the Bitter Sea, the Life Spring erupted wildly like a dragon breaking free from its shackles, and the source of divine power began to boil along with it.

The spring eye, which originally had no bottom, was widened many times over under the impact of this powerful force. Energy poured out continuously like a surging river, occasionally shooting out brilliant, multicolored rays of light that illuminated the entire internal space, making it look like a dream.

As the Stellar Origin Energy gradually transformed into a source of divine power, Ling Xuan's Bitter Sea seemed to encounter a magnitude-twelve tsunami; waves towered high, thunder rumbled, and rainbows shot out from within, creating a truly spectacular scene.

At this moment, Ling Xuan's fire-red Bitter Sea had expanded to the size of a fist, and a rainbow resembling flames hung high above, spanning the firmament in a magnificent display. The Divine Bridge Realm was thus achieved!

Ling Xuan quickly struck the third newly born Divine Pattern into his "weapon" and then, without a moment's delay, continued to inject energy, preparing to build the Divine Bridge and reach the Other Shore in one go.

"Be careful. Breaking through to the Other Shore Realm is a major chasm; there is the Calamity of Lostness," the Void Mirror deity warned at the right moment.

"Don't worry, Senior. With my peak Star Level consciousness, a mere Calamity of Lostness is nothing," Ling Xuan said with a decisive tone, full of absolute confidence.

Immediately, he once again threw himself heart and soul into the process of building the Divine Bridge.

The Bitter Sea continued to expand, and the rainbow bridge formed by gathered energy, like a ferocious dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, crossed the boundless Bitter Sea.

The Divine Bridge became increasingly dazzling and magnificent, its divine might vast. Ling Xuan's strength climbed continuously during this process, and he soon reached the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm.

Suddenly, in front of the continuously extending Divine Bridge, endless fog rushed out like a surging tide. The aura of falsehood permeated the air, obscuring Ling Xuan's spiritual perception and blocking his path forward. This was the dreaded Calamity of Lostness.

"Hmph! How can mere illusions stop me? Where I stand is the Other Shore."

Although Ling Xuan's words sounded a bit dramatic, in this situation, they carried an air of dominance that suggested no one else could compare.

One must know that in the cultivation system of Swallowed Star, there is a path of illusions, which places extremely high demands on a practitioner's will and consciousness.

As a Star Level powerhouse, Ling Xuan's will far exceeded that of a practitioner in the Divine Bridge Realm; how could he be trapped by this fog during his breakthrough to the Other Shore?

He saw the nine stars suspended above the Bitter Sea suddenly shine with great brilliance, and under the illumination of the scorching suns, the endless fog instantly dissipated without a trace.

At this moment, Ling Xuan had successfully crossed the Bitter Sea and ascended to the Other Shore.

This was a pure land, with drifting clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland on earth.

High in the sky, he vaguely saw a massive Dao Palace. The Dao Palace was ancient and heavy, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura, as if it were telling an ancient story and summoning Ling Xuan to approach.

Ling Xuan's physical body had also been sublimated due to the completion of the Lunhai Secret Realm.

However, because he was already a Star Level powerhouse, his physical body was already incredibly formidable; although this sublimation provided him with an improvement, the magnitude was not particularly significant.

"The Daogong is right before my eyes; I shall continue to break through." After imprinting the fourth Divine Pattern into the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, he intended to strike while the iron was hot and charge into the Daogong Secret Realm.
