Fairy Menglian said, "To abandon the physical body and focus solely on cultivating spiritual power can indeed achieve eternal immortality—a single thought lasting forever. However, a spiritual consciousness without a physical vessel is like a rootless drifter; everything is but a reflection in a mirror or a dream in a fleeting life."

"During the distant Immortal Ancient Era, a terrifying dark turmoil erupted. The darkness swept across the heavens, and the Spirit Curtain World was caught in the wake. The darkness possessed an extreme power of corruption, causing the gods of the spiritual world to fall into darkness and transform into sinister beings. The Spirit Curtain Worlds opened by those great powers were extinguished one after another, and the once-prosperous spiritual world was reduced to a dead zone."

"Without a flesh-and-blood body, resistance to the darkness is extremely fragile, which is why this system was abandoned. Furthermore, the Void World retains remnants of that sinister influence. When a spirit enters the Void World, it risks being invaded by the darkness and falling into corruption."

Fairy Menglian said, looking at Su Ye with a puzzled expression, "How did you manage to open the Void World? With your current strength, you shouldn't have the ability to breach it."

"I don't know."

Su Ye shook his head. He truly did not know. He had gained many benefits in the Void God Realm, and after tempering his spirit with the Seven-Colored Divine Light and receiving a baptism from the heavens and earth, his spirit had reached a new level, leading him to enter that so-called Void World.

"Wait, the Divine Script."

Su Ye recalled something. Just moments ago, he had intended to use his breakthrough to comprehend the Divine Script, allowing his Seventh Heavenly Cave to gestate it, before he entered the Void World.

"Divine Script?"

Fairy Menglian was confused.

Su Ye explained the Divine Script Precious Technique he had obtained to Fairy Menglian.

"The Divine Script Path."

Fairy Menglian shook her head and said, "Although the ancient Divine Script Path originates from the spiritual system of the Immortal Ancient Era, it is impossible to penetrate the Void World through the Divine Script alone."

The Divine Script Path was a powerful ancient precious technique, extremely brilliant and renowned across many eras. She naturally knew of it, as many powerful beings in ancient times had cultivated it, but she had never heard of anyone using it to open the Void World.

Fairy Menglian looked at Su Ye, gazing into his golden eyes, and asked, "Did you use your Heavenly Eye just now?"

"I did."

Su Ye nodded. Although his Heavenly Eye was not particularly outstanding in terms of insight, it was still a Heavenly Eye, which helped him quickly comprehend the Divine Script Path and grasp the true essence of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Fairy Menglian said, "The Heavenly Eye is a very special thing, especially when one is born with it. It is not just the Heavenly Eye; the same applies to those born with a Supreme Bone. It is rumored that the so-called Primogenitors are likely the reincarnations of great powers."

"What? How is that possible?"

Su Ye was stunned. Was he the reincarnation of a great power?

However, it did seem to be the case. As a transmigrator, he was indeed a reincarnation.

Fairy Menglian said, "That is merely a rumor. Of course, I do not believe in reincarnation. What is called reincarnation is likely just a similarity, or perhaps a coincidence where one obtained the Dao aura left behind by an ancient great power and integrated it into their body. There is another widespread theory that it is a form of ancestral atavism. In short, there are many speculations; you need not take it too seriously."

"Furthermore, the spirit is incredibly mysterious. Do not cultivate it recklessly, or the backlash could be severe."

After speaking, Fairy Menglian's figure gradually dissipated, returning to the Adamantine Staff. The chaotic mist surrounding them vanished, and all the strange phenomena faded away.

Su Ye retracted his Heavenly Cave, looked at the many people surrounding him, and said with a smile, "You all staring at me like that makes me feel a bit embarrassed."

"Milk Baby, I didn't expect you to actually come to the Heaven Mending Pavilion."

Someone said with a smile, though their gaze carried a chill.

"I am not Milk Baby."

Su Ye said in a deep voice.

The name he used in the Void God Realm wasn't one he had chosen; that hateful Milk Baby had grabbed his hand and forced him to write it. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but now, being called Milk Baby to his face made him very unhappy.

"Judging by your hostile gazes, are you planning to attack me?"

Su Ye scanned his surroundings. Although there were many powerful beings present, he felt no fear. Instead, he smiled and said, "If you want to attack, then go ahead. But I must warn you: this is not the Void God Realm. If you are beaten to death here, you will truly die."

"This is not the Void God Realm, but the real world. In the real world, we are not suppressed."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth spoke up, "Let me see what you have besides a strong physical body."

With that, he attacked. Runes appeared in his hand, and as they surged, his hand transformed into a sharp beast claw that tore through the air.

Su Ye kicked the Big Gold Dog away. Runes flowed beneath his feet, and the hard ground suddenly turned into a swamp. The charging youth sank straight into it.

Su Ye took a step forward, landing squarely on the youth's head and driving him deep into the mire.

The youth's body was covered in runes, and as terrifying power erupted, the swamp exploded. His face was livid; he hadn't expected to be in such a sorry state, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Hmph."

Su Ye let out a cold snort. The runes on his feet grew even more brilliant, suppressing the enraged youth and forcing his body to bend until he finally knelt in the deep pit.

The surrounding crowd witnessed this scene with shock. That youth was no ordinary person, but a well-known genius. In this outside world where there was no suppression, he was actually no match for Da Wa.

"Let me have a go at you."

At this moment, another person stepped out from the crowd and attacked. Lightning flickered in his hands, weaving together to form a Thunder Peng.

Hum.

The runes beneath Su Ye's feet danced across the sky, and willow branches sprouted from the ground. These branches pierced through the Thunder Peng, trapping the youth who had unleashed the lightning technique.

"Not good, there is a formation here."

A powerful expert realized what was happening and hurriedly led those around him to flee, but it was too late. The formation activated, and a thick mist filled the area, isolating this region from the outside world.

Su Ye was no idiot; he couldn't possibly break through so openly without preparation. He had long since secretly laid out a simple formation.

Although the magic array was simple and not particularly powerful, it was still more than enough to deal with cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm or Inscription Realm, easily trapping them within its confines.

The mist surged, as if evolving into a world of its own, causing the expressions of the many living beings trapped within this space to grow increasingly grave, and even terrified.

"Are we just leaving like this, without teaching these arrogant fellows a lesson?"

Big Gold Dog looked at the figures standing dumbfounded behind them, itching to loot every single one of them; if they did, they would surely obtain plenty of good things.

"I am a magnanimous person, so I choose to forgive them."

Su Ye said with a smile.

You, magnanimous?

Big Gold Dog felt nothing but disdain, yet it said nothing more. It looked at those who seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell, and as runes emerged beneath its paws, a stone flew toward one of them.

"Ah!"

The man let out a miserable shriek, then glared around him, trying to see who had pelted him.

Seeing this, Big Gold Dog immediately understood what was happening and hurriedly led Su Ye away from the area. Those people hadn't been struck by a paralysis spell at all, but had fallen under an illusion; once touched by an external force, they would wake up.
