Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Luo Yan could sense that inside the stone statue, there were layers upon layers of ethereal restrictions, densely covered with divine patterns, as if forged from gilded metal, which was truly astonishing.

This seems to be some kind of ancient restriction, much like a targeted test, with boundless restrictions.

However, now that these restrictions have disappeared, it also means that the treasures stored inside are empty.

Logically speaking, passing through that thick black fog should bring about a great fortune.

But the reality is that the creation here has been emptied, the divine runes and restrictions have collapsed, and there is no trace of them left.

Luo Yan had a premonition that he had missed an opportunity; the treasures stored here were definitely not common items.

Because several of the stone statues in the square have very obvious traces of the Dao, with traces of Daoist charm and signs of magical power manifested.

This suggests that the people who took those treasures were most likely from the last few decades or centuries.

It won't be too long.

Luo Yan wasn't in a hurry to leave. He continued his search, examining every stone statue and leaving no corner unchecked.

I want to observe places that others haven't searched for.

Unfortunately, his plan failed.

Luo Yan wasted a day, and after a careful search, he found that there were indeed no more opportunities in this place, so he did not stay any longer.

He crossed the stone statue square and continued along the straight cobblestone street.

Soon, he saw a huge stone carving with ancient characters and a clear emanation of energy.

"To depart here, untouched by calamity."

"There is no way back, only the great city can be left," Luo Yan said slowly, looking at the stone carving.

The meaning conveyed by the stone carving is quite clear: turn back now and everything will be fine.

If we continue forward, there will be no way back for a very long time.

Luo Yan stood in front of the stone sculpture and observed it. A coordinate system was engraved on it, which consisted of twinkling stars.

To reach the other side of the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits' Pride, one must cross it with one's own body.

Luo Yan reached his hand into the stone sculpture, and his body was instantly sucked in by a huge suction force, and an endless starry sky appeared before his eyes.

The stars shone brightly, their brilliance dazzling. The scenery in the Milky Way was boundless, with countless rays of light hanging down, both serene and sacred.

"Is this the starting point of the Path of the Prodigies of All Spirits?"

"I hope it won't disappoint me and will allow me to prove my path here," Luo Yan murmured.

He came with the intention of attaining enlightenment and had high hopes for this ancient path, so naturally he did not want his hopes to be dashed.

If he achieves the Great Dao, when he returns, he may be qualified to challenge the two hall masters of the Heavenly Mystery Hall.

At that time, Luo Yan will no longer be subject to others.

"Legend has it that there are tens of thousands of powerful races in the True Spirit Realm, and each race has terrifying beings of no less than the ninth rank. There should be a lot of beings participating in the Battle of Ten Thousand Spirits."

"But why haven't I sensed any other people along the way?" Luo Yan's mind was blank, and he was slightly surprised by this.

Did he take the wrong path?
No, that's impossible!

Luo Yan shook her head, no longer wanting to think about those confusing things.

He looked back at the starry sky and could see countless small stars surrounding the planet where the True Spirit Realm was located. It was the most beautiful picture in the world.

He is about to leave, and once he leaves this place, there will be no turning back.

Either die on the path to enlightenment, or defeat all those who stand in your way.

This road is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Luo Yan felt no fear, only anticipation.

Compared to the crisis facing his main body, he was relatively lucky, at least he found a path to the Great Dao.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns and difficult to walk, you are not alone.

The future of the entity itself remains shrouded in darkness, devoid of any light.
'Om! '

The stone carvings shimmer with a hazy glow, revealing a void of black holes, interwoven with various mysterious symbols.

The void passage has been opened, and the long road to enlightenment has officially begun!

'puff! '

Luo Yan strode into it, his figure instantly swallowed by darkness. The black hole began to tremble, and the mysterious symbols on it emitted a metallic clang. The glory of this place came to an end.

With a 'whoosh', a shooting star streaked across the Milky Way, leaving behind the most dazzling star trail.

The journey through the spatial passage is not a quick one, but rather a direct bridge, with the dark openings filled with unknown possibilities.

There is no sound, no air, no spiritual energy, nothing at all. It also blocks the cultivator's five senses, making it impossible to perceive the slightest situation in the outside world.

It was like a desolate, isolated place, enough to make one despair.

Luo Yan was in the darkness, completely oblivious to everything around him. A faint light emanated from his body, the glow of starlight.

Fortunately, the energy of the celestial path was not completely blocked by the black hole.

Therefore, even in such a desolate place, Luo Yan can cultivate peacefully as he pleases.

In this respect, the second spiritual body increasingly realized how convenient it was for the original body to cultivate all kinds of methods simultaneously.

Even in extreme environments, there is still the possibility of continued growth.

The journey was long, and Luo Yan's mind was completely blank as he focused on comprehending the Bodhi Heart Sutra.

Whatever Subhuti's motives were, at least this incomplete scripture is now in Luo Yan's hands.

He needs to observe and practice more. Only by finding the key to this can he create his own spiritual method based on it.

Cultivating the mind is about recognizing and observing the mind.

Luo Yan is diligently observing and understanding his own mind in accordance with the methods taught in the Bodhicitta Sutra.

He is diligently practicing spiritual cultivation.

Time moves very slowly in the spatial passage; all you see is an endless expanse of black, making it impossible to distinguish between night and day.

It was as if all the light had been swallowed up, and space itself was distorted.

Being here, it's hard to have much of a sense of time.

Because time here is chaotic and disordered, as if the world has stopped turning.

Being in such a unique environment for such a long time without any reference points is enough to drive a person crazy.

However, once you get used to the passage of time, it flies by again, and forty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout this process, Luo Yan remained focused, either studying the scriptures or comprehending the laws of destiny.

His understanding of the spiritual realm is becoming increasingly profound.

The most typical example is that wherever the mind goes, a powerful and mysterious energy will manifest.

However, this kind of energy is intangible and formless, and perhaps only when facing real living beings can one witness its true power.

For forty years, Luo Yan did not communicate with anyone, yet he did not feel lonely.

Because this is spiritual practice.

All internal strength must be cultivated by oneself. *Buzz!*

Suddenly, a tremor came from the black space passage, and a faint light flickered ahead, with a dazzling array of colors emerging, which made Luo Yan, who was used to long periods of darkness, feel uncomfortable for a moment.

"This road is really too long. Just the journey to the starting point has been delayed for decades."

"But thankfully, we've finally arrived at our destination." Luo Yan's eyes sparkled.

Having grown accustomed to prolonged darkness, the sudden light still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Luo Yan's body radiated light, and she began to breathe rhythmically. Every pore on her body opened up, and a shimmering glow reappeared in the world.

He sensed an even more abundant energy from heaven and earth.

‘Crash! ’

A muffled explosion rang out, and Luo Yan was squeezed out of the void passage, the spatial vortex behind him slowly disappearing.

The moment he landed, his six senses quietly spread out, and he immediately began to observe this world.

"How come it's another place devoid of spirits?" Luo Yan asked in surprise.

In his perception, this place was not just thin in spiritual energy, it was completely devoid of spiritual energy.

Other energies of heaven and earth were also extremely weak, and the air was filled with a sense of desolation. Looking around, the earth was cracked, with yellow sand flying everywhere and dust covering the ground.

There was not a trace of life.

Here, Luo Yan didn't even sense the moon's presence; he only felt the sunlight.

Therefore, the temperature of this land is extremely high, like a scorching giant fire cage.

Fortunately, Luo Yan, as a cultivator in the Void Refining Realm, possessed unparalleled power and was not bothered by the high temperature of several hundred degrees.

"It seems this place has been abandoned. I need to continue exploring further," Luo Yan muttered to himself.

Through his occasional spiritual exchanges with his original self over the years, he has learned that the journey of the Path of the Prodigy of All Spirits is not so lonely. When the disciples of the great sects in the True Spirit Realm embark on this path, they usually find someone to accompany them.

Few would choose to travel alone, because the journey to that star field is too long and prone to various accidents.

The chances of being robbed increase significantly if one tries to go alone.

Even the young sage of the demonic sects is no exception; he needs to wait for others before he can embark on this journey.

Within the True Spirit Realm, they are locked in a fierce battle with the major righteous sects, making them nominal enemies.

However, once outside the True Spirit Realm, whether it's the demonic path, the righteous path, or other races, there is always the possibility of temporary cooperation.

At least that's the case for this part of the road ahead.

After all, the path to becoming a prodigy among all spirits is far too long, with powerful opponents constantly emerging, such as extraterrestrial demons and void creatures.

The idea of ​​one person traversing the galaxy to reach a special star field feels unreal.

After all, the beings who have embarked on this path of enlightenment are far more than just cultivators and races from the True Spirit Realm.

In that special star field, encountering beings from other cultivation realms and other universes is nothing out of the ordinary.

Many outstanding figures and holy beings from the cultivation world will engage in the most magnificent collision here.

"The aura of the sacrificial runes is over there," Luo Yan said, closing his eyes to sense and catching a trace of Daoist energy in the air.

He rode the Qilin and flew away quickly, his figure like a streak of light and a rainbow, streaking across the sky.

Before long, the scorching heat in the air disappeared, replaced by a chill.

The air was cold and the light had dimmed considerably, not as bright as before.

At this moment, Luo Yan felt as if he had arrived on the other side of the planet, no longer exposed to direct sunlight.

A magnificent and enormous palace appeared, composed entirely of crystalline ice, shaped like a precious jade, radiating a cool and serene light.

In front of the palace gate, there are two jade carvings: an ice crystal rabbit and a jade toad, both very lifelike.

Luo Yan landed nearby, his gaze fixed on the top of the Ice Crystal Palace, where three large characters were engraved with ancient divine runes.

Guanghan Palace!
"The Moon Palace?"

"That's strange. Shouldn't the Moon Palace in mythology be located on the moon?"

"How could it be located on such a nameless and desolate planet?" Luo Yan asked in surprise.

Indeed, myths and legends are just that—myths and legends. They differ greatly from reality, and many of them are unbelievable.

This ice crystal palace appears to be entirely composed of ice, but in reality, it is inscribed with special ancient laws that differ greatly from the laws and principles of the present world.

Luo Yan tentatively touched the palace wall, using all his strength to forcibly break off a piece of the icy wall.

The ice crystal wall is reasonably hard, but not as hard as a spiritual treasure; it should only be at the level of a top-tier magic weapon.

Everything seemed unremarkable.

Just as Luo Yan released the ice crystals, the wall that should have fallen to the ground was pulled back into the Guanghan Palace by some mysterious force.

The missing gap was restored to its original state in an instant.

He stared blankly at his empty palm, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Is this the power of the Law of Ice?
Luo Yan was confident that he could not have sensed anything wrong; the Daoist aura of the Ice Law was astonishing and also very obvious.

Then, Luo Yan's gaze fell on the two enormous ice sculptures.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the jade rabbit, which was carved from ice crystals, had scarlet eyes.

There was nothing unusual about the jade toad carving next to him, but when Luo Yan put his hand over it, he heard a loud croaking sound in his mind.

"Is this thing alive?" Luo Yan frowned.

These two ice crystal behemoths are anything but simple; though they appear as stone pillars, they actually have a 'thump-thump' heartbeat.

It seems they are about to come back to life.

Luo Yan sighed. It seemed that he would have to go through another test if he wanted to leave this place.

This is also why those great masters of their sects choose to embark on their journeys together in groups.

In the initial stages of the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits, the various challenges and trials are truly bizarre and varied.

Just like the Yin soldiers and Yin generals that Luo Yan encountered forty years ago, if one does not master the techniques and laws that are able to counter them, ordinary cultivators would not be able to get through those layers of fog even if they worked themselves to death.

They could only be forced back to the True Spirit Realm.

This has nothing to do with individual strength, but rather with the balance and influence of the laws and principles of that special place.

"Cuck!"

A frog's croak exploded like thunder, and the toad, which should have been an ice sculpture, was completely revived at this moment. Its eyes were filled with tears, and its mouth was wide open, staring at Luo Yan.

The croaking of the frog carried a violent, soul-shaking impact, crashing into his soul and leaving his mind blank.

This was a powerful impact from the level of the soul, descending suddenly with a pressure from a higher dimension, which was extremely awe-inspiring.

Those whose minds are unstable will never be able to wake up again after just one roar.

In an instant, a tremendous suction force appeared out of nowhere.

Luo Yan shook his head vigorously, and five-colored light surged from his body to resist the gravitational attack. (End of Chapter)
