Straight into the Four Extremes

As the Pure Source that had formed a small mountain in the Cave gradually disappeared, Li Changqing's breathing stabilized, and he regained his original robust and full-bodied physique.

At the same time, although Li Changqing did not specifically cultivate to open up the Sea of Bitterness, the essence of the Pure Source was simply too vast.

Even though most of his vital energy was used to help Li Changqing recover, and even though he had never seriously practiced the scriptures related to the Secret Realm cultivation method.

However, his current strength is comparable to that of a powerful expert at the Immortal Third Severing the Dao who has severed the Dao. His foundation is solid, so he successfully opened up the Sea of Bitterness by relying solely on the essence he released.

The area below Li Changqing's navel, namely his Dantian, was autonomously absorbing the essence emanating from the Pure Source.

In just a moment, an ocean opened up below the navel. The ocean had no distinguishing features, was lifeless, and was constantly absorbing vital energy and expanding.

Li Changqing felt a pang of regret as he surveyed his lifeless Sea of Bitterness: "This Sea of Bitterness is utterly lifeless, devoid of any distinctive features."

"It seems I am just an ordinary Mortal Body. What a pity. I originally thought that this body, forged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and cultivated by the Kunpeng Method, would be able to produce some extraordinary abilities."

Shaking his head, Li Changqing stopped thinking about it, "Forget it, a Mortal Body is fine. Although the Kunpeng Method can't be used to cultivate in secret realms, it can be used as an aid. With the Kunpeng Method's assistance, the cultivation speed in the early stages can completely rival that of those with special physiques."

"Then let's take this opportunity to cultivate using these Pure Sources."

After speaking, Li Changqing focused his mind, circulated the Inheritance Scriptures of Radiant Light, absorbed the essence, and further expanded the Sea of Bitterness.

Li Changqing's Sea of Bitterness continued to expand, and a rumbling sound rang out.

The cultivation method of the secret realm of "Shrouding the Heavens" requires a certain level of comprehension after reaching the Four Extremes Secret Realm and connecting the body with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to advance further.

Aside from the danger of getting lost when reaching the Other Shore, the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm can be completed quickly as long as resources are plentiful.

Li Changqing cultivated very quickly. When the Sea of Bitterness was opened to its limit, there was no obstruction whatsoever, and the Life Spring surged forth naturally, with Divine Power flowing endlessly.

Next, Divine Bridge was built to allow people to reach the Other Shore.

But by this time, the Pure Source that had piled up like a small mountain had been completely consumed, and even the essence emanating from the Cave had been completely absorbed by Li Changqing.

Li Changqing frowned, then simply took out the Jade Bottle and directly absorbed the higher-quality essence from the Divine Source.

Several dazzling Divine Sources flew out from the Jade Bottle, illuminating the Cave once again.

With the supply of Divine Source energy, Li Changqing cultivated even faster, and the Divine Bridge was soon built to the Other Shore.

Ordinary cultivators, upon reaching the Other Shore, must confront the danger of getting lost.

The stronger a cultivator's talent, the more severe the loss of their way becomes, and the more time they spend getting lost. But for Li Changqing, this was not a problem at all.

After all, he wasn't like the ordinary Shrouding the Heavens who started their cultivation from being a mortal.

He already possessed the cultivation level of Dou Di), his combat strength was comparable to that of Immortal Third Severing the Dao expert, and his primordial spirit was incomparably powerful.

The danger of getting lost on the Other Shore, for ordinary cultivators, is like trying to find the right path in a thick fog where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

For Li Changqing, the thick fog seemed to be non-existent, and the road ahead was clearly laid out before him.

In the end, Li Changqing, without any surprise, successfully reached the Other Shore.

For ordinary cultivators, including disciples of small sects, progress is slow and gradual. Even a minor genius would need several years to complete the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm. Li Changqing, however, only took less than a day.

This is mainly due to Li Changqing's inherent strength. If an ordinary cultivator were to cultivate so quickly, their physical body would probably not be able to withstand so much essence.

But Li Changqing was different. He had focused on tempering his physique when he was in the Dou Qi Continent, and his physical body was strong enough to withstand it.

After reaching the Other Shore and completing his cultivation in the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm, Li Changqing's progress did not stop; he continued to advance, directly Dao Palace.

The Dao Palace Secret Realm cultivates the five internal organs and their spiritual treasures: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, corresponding to the five elements: heart fire, liver wood, spleen earth, lung metal, and kidney water.

There is no order or priority in cultivating the five internal organs; it varies from person to person.

Each of the five organs can independently give birth to a Dao Palace Deity. When all five organs are fully cultivated, the Dao Palace Secret Realm is perfected.

A day later, Li Changqing's Divine Power sublimated, and he had reached the perfection of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. In each of the Dao Palace Divine Treasures, there was a deity sitting cross-legged, and the sound of chanting scriptures never stopped.

Golden light surged in Li Changqing's eyes. He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, looked at the remaining seventy percent of his Divine Source, and muttered to himself:

"With these Divine Sources, I should be able to advance to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. In that case, let's go all out."

After saying that, Li Changqing's body once again frantically absorbed the essence contained in the Divine Source, heading towards the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm corresponds to the hands, feet, and limbs of the human body. Once a cultivator reaches the Four Extremes Secret Realm, they can communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth through the Four Extremes.

For example, in the Post-Desolate Era, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was rejected by heaven and earth, making it difficult to cultivate and break through the Four Extremes.

Even if one wants to advance to the Four Extremes, one must face the challenge of the Four Extremes Road Severance. After breaking through the Four Extremes, Innate Dao Diagram will descend, severing the path of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

This is the most direct manifestation of being able to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth after cultivating to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

If the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had not broken through the Four Extremes and connected with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, how could the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of Heaven and Earth have detected its Four Extremes and subsequently bestowed the Innate Dao Diagram?

Furthermore, after cultivating to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will vary from person to person, and Heavenly Tribulations will descend.

Those with exceptional talent will face Heavenly Tribulation when they break through from the Dao Palace into the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Even those with average talent, who cultivate to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, may not face Heavenly Tribulation, and may never face Heavenly Tribulation even until their death.

Another day passed, Li Changqing faintly sensed the existence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. At the same time, he realized that he seemed to be locked onto.

This is Heavenly Tribulation about to descend. As long as you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you can break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Li Changqing smiled, "I just entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm and Heavenly Tribulation has already descended. Although I have Mortal Body, it seems my talent is still quite good."

Of course, it's also possible that Li Changqing's exceptional talent didn't attract the Heavenly Tribulation; it's possible that the Great Dao of Heaven felt that Li Changqing's strength and cultivation level were mismatched, which is why it sent down the Heavenly Tribulation.

What if we perish under the Heavenly Tribulation?

Li Changqing wasn't worried about this at all. It was just Heavenly Tribulation from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Even if he didn't do anything to resist, if the Heavenly Tribulation could leave any injury on him, he might as well find a block of tofu and kill himself.

Li Changqing stood up and flew directly out of the Cave.

Looking at those once dazzling Divine Sources again, they had become much dimmer, as Li Changqing had basically absorbed all the life essence within them.

Thunderclouds gathered above the Mountain Range, and with a deafening roar, golden lightning struck down towards Li Changqing.

Li Changqing stood calmly under the thunderclouds, enduring the lightning strikes as if they were not there to destroy him, but rather to tickle him.
