Void Obliteration Flow Banquet · Words from the Border

The Evolution Qing Palace Banquet was like a divine temple floating above golden clouds. Its gate was as high as 90,000 feet, and the golden dome, sculpted from the Limitless Evolving True Flow, shimmered with flowing starlight. The palace gate was engraved with billions of tiny life-destiny runes, which would sometimes Annihilation and sometimes bloom as the light flowed, like the heartbeat of the universe.

Before the steps, a jade platform is paved with a thousand layers of spirit stone steps, each engraved with a pattern symbolizing the Source of Epochless —the radiance flows underfoot, as if treading on the river of time. Two towering stone statues stand solemnly in front of the hall, one the god of writing and the other the lord of the Logic Realm, their auras solemn, seemingly able to pierce through the soul with their gaze.

Upon entering the hall, the world suddenly opened up before you.

The dome hangs high above the clouds, through which the endless golden sea of light can be seen; hundreds of spiritual rivers flow in mid-air, like silver threads weaving through the air, transforming into floating curtains of light. The hall is divided into nine floating platforms, each suspended in the air, and each level is filled with cultivators from all over the Void Obliteration Domain, Only Book Realm. Their auras intertwine, converging into a mind-shaking "Dao Flow Resonance".

At the central stage, a hundred long banquet tables floated in the air. Each table was made of eternal gold and Illusory Spirits jade, and the wine cups and plates on them all had their own life order luster. When they were turned around, the runes of "flow of book order" could be faintly seen, as if the entire space was writing its own logic according to its will.

When Qin Yu stepped into this place, the air was filled with an extremely pure energy fluctuation, which was the "Soul Book Aura" generated by the resonance of the intentions and Fate Brush of countless cultivators. With each breath, a wisp of spiritual light flowed into his sea of consciousness, making his spirit clear and his Spiritual Sense serene.

In the distance, the attendants were all in semi-ethereal "book spirit" form. They wore white-gold robes and held light pens, drawing Dao patterns in the air with words, which instantly transformed into jade plates or wine vessels, and were gently placed in front of the guests.

The entire "Evolution Qing Palace Banquet" is neither an earthly palace nor a divine hall, but a sacred banquet realm constructed by the very logic of writing itself.

Beyond the golden dome, the Milky Way stretched like ink, and ninety thousand cloud bridges extended into the depths of the Abyss of No Thought;

The fragrance wafts gently, the sound is like the heart of a zither;

Qin Yu in front of the door and sighed softly.

"This place... truly lives up to its reputation as the holy temple where cultivators from the Void Obliteration Domain converge."

The hall was filled with a shimmering, spiritual light, and the air was permeated with the faint fragrance of glazed flowers. Just as Qin Yu stepped into his seat, a servant dressed in a cyan-gold robe and wearing a crown adorned with spiritual patterns emerged from a side door. His footsteps were incredibly light, yet they seemed to leave faint traces in the void. The servant appeared young, but his eyes held a composure that had endured millennia—the unique "Eyes of No Thought" of the Void Obliteration Domain.

He first gave Qin Yu a quick look, a slight smile playing on his lips, his expression respectful yet inquisitive. "This sir looks unfamiliar... Which lineage of the Source of Epochless do you come from? Judging from the vibrations in your soul aura and brushstrokes, you seem to be a newly Only Book Realm · Intermediate Stage?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu remained calm, merely nodding slightly. "Qin Yu, a core disciple of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, Source of Epochless · Middle Layer, newly entered the Void Obliteration Domain."

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately adopted a more respectful tone, lowering his voice with a hint of curiosity and probing. "So you're from the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall. No wonder your aura is so composed. It's truly rare to see a disciple of the Holy Temple in the Void Obliteration Domain... My name is Luo Chen, and I've served at the Evolution Qing Palace Banquet for a thousand years. If you're new to the Void Obliteration Domain, I dare to tell you—most of the cultivators here come from various Observationless Sect, Annihilation Heart Palace, and Void Evolution Hall. Their cultivation levels are all profound, so don't try to test your skills lightly."

He leaned slightly forward, raised his right hand, and spiritual light gathered into a small scroll, within which appeared a structural illusion of the entire "Evolution Qing Palace Banquet"—a nine-tiered banquet platform, thirty-six star-river seats, and seventy-two spirit pillars.

Luo Chen said softly, "If you wish to rest, you may go to the 'Silent Words Platform' on the fifth floor, which is a special seat for receiving visiting cultivators. If you wish to make friends with cultivators from various sects, both the 'Book Law Platform' and the 'Annihilation Splendor Pavilion' have renowned elders residing there. However, if you truly wish to understand the power of the Void Obliteration Domain... I'm afraid you will have to hear it from the 'Abyss Flowers'."

Qin Yu's gaze sharpened slightly as he caught the implication.

"The Abyss Flowers?" he repeated softly, his expression one of understanding.

Luo Chen revealed a meaningful smile, his gaze lingering on him for a moment before he stepped aside and bowed.

"The fact that you've never heard of this name means that the Abyss of Annihilation Void is ready to open a door for you."

Having said that, his figure subtly transformed into ethereal light, merging back into the flowing golden radiance, leaving only a soft, dreamlike murmur echoing through the palace:

"The order of writing on the 'Evolution Qing Palace Banquet' is meticulously crafted. If you truly wish to enter the abyss, do not forget to leave a single word in this hall."

Qin Yu's expression hardened, and he looked up at the endless golden dome. He saw a void gate appearing and disappearing amidst the swirling clouds, as if waiting for him to write down his command before it could reveal itself.

Qin Yu ignored the others and continued to look around before choosing a seat near the Spirit River light screen. The seat was made entirely of gold and jade, with a table floating in front of him, its surface engraved with delicate brushstrokes and Dao patterns, and even the air exuded a warm and gentle aura.

Luo Chen, immediately reappeared, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his tone carrying a hint of practiced obsequiousness. "This sir Annihilation Void, and must be weary from the journey, his soul still recovering. Our Evolution Qing Palace Banquet has several signature dishes that can both restore the damage to the soul and balance the flow of energy. Would you like to try any of them?"

Qin Yu nodded slightly. "Thank you for your trouble. We'll proceed with the most famous dishes from your palace."

Luo Chen's lips curled into a proud smile. With a flick of his sleeve, a menu of light slowly unfolded before Qin Yu —illusions of dishes appeared on it, all constructed of spiritual light, without physical form, yet emanating a real aroma.

"The first dish—[Silent Origin Star Dew Soup]—is made from the condensed liquid at the bottom of the 'No-Thought Star Lake' in the Void Obliteration Domain, simmered for three hundred years with Ninefold Soul Fire. One sip can expand one's sea of consciousness like a star, and make one's thoughts flow freely."

"The second one—[Soul-Derived Jade Carp]—is refined from the soul bone of a spirit carp transformed from the Annihilation River. It melts upon entering the mouth and can stabilize the order of the Sole Book brush, while also having the effect of purifying the mind."

"The third item—[Dew of the Yuan Jin Flower]—is a beverage brewed from the petals of the Annihilation Dawn Flowing Light Flower. After drinking it, one can temporarily glimpse the state of 'Severed Observation'."

"The final item—[Chaotic Spirit Crystal Fruit]—is a limited-edition item. Each one requires ten thousand years of Void Evolution light to cultivate. Consuming it will restore ten percent of your true essence."

Qin Yu watched the illusory images of the dishes swirling around, and inwardly sighed that the Void Obliteration Domain was indeed extraordinary. However, he had not eaten mortal food for many days, and this craving for taste had long been replaced by cultivation. Now, however, the aroma of the spiritual food had stirred up a long-lost appetite.

"These are all here." Qin Yu smiled faintly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Luo Chen was slightly taken aback, then showed an expression of admiration. "Your Excellency is indeed generous. This meal will probably cost 100,000 Spiritual Sequence Crystal, but I admire your magnanimity. Please wait a moment, the spirit chef will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and paused slightly, clearly hearing the term "Spiritual Sequence Crystal" for the first time.

He asked in a low voice, "Spiritual Sequence Crystal... I've never encountered this before. I carry Annihilation Starlight Crystal with me; could you use that instead?"

Luo Chen was taken aback at first, then his expression changed to one of realization, and he smiled, "Ah, I see. You come from the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, where the Annihilation Starlight Crystal is the only currency. Don't worry, in the Void Obliteration Domain, the two are interchangeable. One Annihilation Starlight Crystal is equivalent to one Spiritual Sequence Crystal."

Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. With a thought, a dark radiance appeared in his palm. It was an Annihilation Starlight Crystal the size of a fingertip, with cosmic star-mist-like light patterns flowing within it, and the echoes of causal chains could be faintly heard.

"If that's the case," he smiled faintly, "Then pay one thousand Annihilation Starlight Crystal."

Luo Chen's pupils contracted slightly, then he quickly bowed, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a hint of awe in his voice, "Your Excellency is truly extraordinary! These 1,000 Annihilation Starlight Crystal are enough to last for three days and three nights at the Evolution Qing Palace Banquet. On behalf of the banquet, I Luo Chen, extend my gratitude to you."

Before the words were finished, the Annihilation Starlight Crystal turned into fine stardust in mid-air and was swallowed into the tent array by the spiritual patterns in the hall. A golden light appeared out of thin air, displaying the symbol of "VIP Mark" - this is the mark of the honored guests of the Evolution Qing Palace Banquet, which only the core disciples of the Void Obliteration Domain or envoys from the Upper Realm can possess.

Luo Chen bowed and withdrew, speaking respectfully, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. The spirit chef will soon serve you the 'Silent Origin Fourth Grade'."

Qin Yu lowered his gaze, watching the thousand Annihilation Starlight Crystal transform into streams of light, and sighed inwardly, "This Void Obliteration Domain... truly lives up to its reputation as the central layer of the Source of Epochless; even a single meal here is comparable to ten years' worth of offerings from a lower-level sect."

He smiled gently, raised his hand and placed the Fate Brush on the side of the table, quietly awaiting the arrival of the spirit banquet.

A moment later, the spiritual music in the hall began to play softly. Amidst the drifting clouds, a spiritual chef dressed in a white and gold robe emerged from the void. Spiritual light flowed from his fingertips, each stroke reconstructing reality. With a wave of his hand, light and shadow transformed into countless spiritual patterns, intertwining to form the shapes of star dew, soul carp, ashes, and spirit crystal fruits. In an instant, a dazzling spiritual feast was presented before Qin Yu.

The scent was neither fragrant nor pungent, but rather like the first breath of the world at its inception—pure, vast, and pristine.

Qin Yu took a sip of the Star Dew Soup, his mind trembled slightly, and an indescribable clarity instantly spread throughout his body.

He closed his eyes and murmured, "As expected of the Void Obliteration Domain..."

Qin Yu was savoring the bowl of Silent Origin Star Dew Soup, the spiritual soup flowing between his lips and teeth like a galaxy falling into his sea of consciousness. In the silence, countless tiny starlight twinkled deep within his consciousness. He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the expansion of his soul, as if his whole being had transformed into a cosmic chapter being written.

However, amidst this tranquility, a faint conversation suddenly broke the silence. The voices came from the next private room, clearly audible even through a screen.

"A mysterious passage to a secret realm has opened on the southern Annihilation Wasteland Border," a burly man whispered, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "Many experts at the Only Book Realm have gone there, and even the people from the Third Divine Temple— the Asura Immortal Hall— have set off."

Another voice, more composed, seemed to belong to a dignified elder. "Hmm, I've heard that the source of that secret realm is unstable, a 'Annihilation Abyss Severed Traces' left behind by the Ancient Logic Cultivation God, its existence transcending common sense. That place buries not only power, but also ancient definitions."

The third person sighed softly, his tone tinged with greed. "It's said that the ruins contain cultivation techniques 'above the Severed Observation,' possibly even related to the Annihilation Dawn Realm. If one could obtain even a sliver of an opportunity, it would be enough to allow one to break through the middle level and step into a higher realm."

"I've heard that this secret realm hasn't been open for long and is unstable; the entrance can only be maintained for ten days," the first person said urgently. "We need to hurry. The sooner we arrive, the better our chances of entering the first inner realm. So many forces within the Void Obliteration Domain are stirring, even the Abyss Flowers are making moves."

"Let's go, the later we get, the less chance we'll have."

After a few whispers, soft footsteps and fluctuations of Spiritual Qi came from the private room. Several figures swept past the spiritual barrier and disappeared outside the hall in an instant, leaving only a faint aura lingering in the air.

Qin Yu slightly opened his eyes, shifting his gaze from the Soup of Silence, and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, producing a crisp sound.

"The Annihilation Wasteland Border... the ruins of Ancient Logic Cultivation God?" he murmured to himself, his eyes as deep as an abyss.

A barely perceptible smile flickered across his lips. He gently put down his chopsticks, and the energy within his body trembled slightly, seemingly even stirring the Annihilation light within the Azure Evolution Core.

"It seems that this Void Obliteration Domain... is more interesting than I imagined."

He looked out the window and saw layers of spiritual energy converging above the main city of the Abyss of No Thought, like a galaxy hanging upside down. In the distant borderlands, a faint, dark red crack of light flickered in the endless sky, as if calling to him.
