I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

The colors of the white iron that are good at different areas also differ.

At the same time, the effectiveness of using supernatural powers is also affected by Bai Tie's mood and condition.

"Deep black and pale white... It seems to be influenced by your cultivation technique. How far have you progressed in your Nine Revolutions Life and Death Tribulation Heavenly Technique?"

As Dalian looked at the extremely oppressive and chilling supernatural power emanating from Duanmu Lian, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

When Duanmu Lian unleashed this kind of power, she was like a demon.

She wasn't just judging by appearances; after all, from the supernatural power emanating from Duanmu Lian's body, she sensed a depth like a black hole and a terrifying repulsion like a white hole.

"Second turn."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian answered truthfully.

The Nine Revolutions Life and Death Tribulation Heavenly Technique specializes in cultivating the soul, and the conditions required for its cultivation are quite extreme and demanding.

It doesn't need positive energy like spiritual energy or vitality, but rather all sorts of negative energy.

For example, death energy, resentment energy, corpse energy, killing energy, malevolent energy, evil energy, poisonous energy, yin energy, miasma, anger, foul energy, etc.

The first stage requires cultivation in a place with abundant negative energy.

For example, mass graves, piles of dead bodies, etc.

Inhaling these refined substances allows for the elimination of impurities and impure energy through a process of fighting poison with poison.

Then, turning the negative into the positive, reversing one's own power to strengthen one's "essence, energy, and spirit," and then using one's own body to refine one's own soul.

After all, the soul belongs to Yin, and unless it is a Yang spirit, most of them belong to negative energy bodies.

Duanmu Lian trained in the hellish realm of Demon Slayer, a place teeming with negative energies like death and resentment.

"The second stage... In that case, you can no longer cultivate alone, or you can no longer train alone in a deserted place. You need to conduct practical training in an environment with more people."

Just by seeing Duanmu Lian's strangely colored supernatural power, Dalian sensed that something was wrong.

If Duanmu Lian is left to cultivate alone again, there is a high chance that he will be able to convert his energy into form.

Supernatural power is a very powerful energy, and it is also very effective in strengthening the body.

Even if the body is broken and battered, one can still use supernatural powers to envelop the body and force it to fight.

This allows supernatural powers to be enhanced, but once these powers overflow the limits of the body, Duanmu Lian will become an entity where spirit and flesh are one.

It's not that it's bad, but attempting spiritual-physical integration when one's own power level is not high is tantamount to self-destruction.

After Dalian told Duanmu Lian these things, he listened attentively.

Since he can't keep practicing alone, let him go into real combat.

He had already gotten used to the process of traveling between worlds.

“You need to be extra careful when cultivating that technique. Next, choose one or two body-refining methods with the Yang attribute. After all, those are the methods that the previous generations of ‘you’ have comprehended on the brink of life and death. Cultivating that technique is like walking a tightrope. Although it can greatly strengthen the soul, if you are not careful, you will completely fall into the side of death. At that time, you may only be able to become a lich or something similar.”

After giving Duanmu Lian a reminder, Dalian gave him a warning.

The Nine Revolutions Life and Death Tribulation Heavenly Technique, with the word "tribulation" in it, indicates that cultivating this technique is like undergoing a tribulation.

Even the slightest mistake can have serious consequences.

If Duanmu Lian's soul hadn't been familiar enough with this technique, and if this guy hadn't had a strong will and wasn't fearless, the chances of something going wrong would have been much higher.

"understood."

Sensing the concern hidden beneath Dalian's stern words, Duanmu Lian smiled slightly and remembered the other's reminder.

After that, following Dalian's advice, he began to cultivate the Yang attribute body-refining method and temper his supernatural powers in the inner space.

The reason why Dalian advised Duanmu Lian to avoid cultivating alone was because his condition required an environment with people around him, so that he would not easily make a mistake of losing his power balance.

...........

Two months later, Duanmu Lian, whose soul power and mental strength had fully met the requirements, was allowed by Dalian to use the [World Projection] and [Interdimensional Gate] chat group functions.

These two functions are essential for understanding how to travel the world.

World projection.

It allows Duanmu Lian's consciousness or soul to be projected and reincarnated in another world.

This would require Duanmu Lian to start from scratch in another world, and death would also cause damage to her soul.

This deficiency was remedied once methods for repairing and strengthening the soul were developed.

The Gate to the Boundary.

It allows Duanmu Lian to travel through time in her true form within the spatial environment.

However, once the time travel is complete, ownership of the chat group system will temporarily reside in the soul of Duanmu Lian in the real world.

This is also to prevent Duanmu Lian from losing her chat group after her accidental death during her adventure in another dimension.

However, Duanmu Lian, who used the portal to the interdimensional world, can also contact her past self, who appeared in the world on the day of divine wrath, as a group member, so that she can seek support at any time.

Overall, world projection is more convenient and safer.

Using the portal between realms requires a real, bloody battle.

so.......

"I will use the Gate of Transcendence."

Duanmu Lian casually told Dalian his choice.

Safety?

Where is there an adventure without danger?

As the saying goes, danger and opportunity go hand in hand; there is no such thing as getting everything without paying a price.

Even what Duanmu Lian possesses now is something he painstakingly left to him.

Using the portal is quite risky, so you should get used to it as early as possible.

"If you die in another dimension, you will still have a life left in reality. However, when facing the eternal return, you will need to split your soul and recuperate, and you will not be able to use any souls from the Soul Sea Abyss."

Upon learning of Duanmu Lian's choice, Dalian nodded, then calmly explained the consequences if he were to die unexpectedly.

The real-life Duanmu Lian and the Duanmu Lian in the interior space belong to the same soul.

The one outside is Duanmu Lian, a hundred-person dose of soul quality.

The inner scene contains Duanmu Lian, who possesses an even more powerful soul.

If the Duanmu Lian inside the inner world encounters trouble in another dimension, then the Duanmu Lian outside will need to split her soul to face the eternal tribulation and return.

It can be described as a weak state of barely clinging to life.

The soul of Duanmu Lian within the Sea of ​​Souls is absolutely forbidden to be used.

It only allows the souls of the initial Duanmu Lian to be sent out, and afterwards, it only allows each generation of Duanmu Lian to cut their own souls to accumulate inside.

If, in the present world, the Mercury Serpent were to initiate an eternal return to restart the entire world, resetting all the souls in the present world to zero.

Well then, I'm sorry, the next generation of Duanmu Lian is about to be born.

The safe travel time is the period before Duanmu Lian of the present world is involved in the eternal return to the past.

During this period, he can determine whether he can travel within the interior space based on the condition of Suwahara.

..........

"Whoosh—!"

Duanmu Lian opened her eyes and took in the unfamiliar scene before her.

The feeling of traveling through the world is generally not anything special; it's just that as soon as you take a step forward, the scenery changes dramatically.

Dalian herself did not come along; she only handed the Illusion Book containing her clone to Duanmu Lian.

In his adventures in another dimension, he cannot rely on anyone; he can only rely on himself.

What comes into view at this moment is a dark, dense forest under the cover of night, and looking up, you can see a crescent moon hanging in the night sky with only a few stars.

He didn't yet know what kind of world he had entered, so he tightened his black coat.

Then they took out portable miniature satellites from their spatial rings and launched them into the night sky.

Arriving in an unfamiliar world, he first needs two things: intelligence and a broad perspective.

The portable satellite launch went completely unnoticed, as it was designed with features such as 'stealth', 'security', and 'difficulty in being detected' in mind.

After Duanmu Lian attached the nanomechanical device to the back of his head, a top-to-bottom map appeared in front of his retina.

"It's Earth... The buildings look a bit dilapidated, the style is medieval, hmm? Why are there so many modern ruins?"

Looking at the images captured by the satellite, Duanmu Lian frowned slightly.

He saw traces of human civilization, but some places were modern ruins, while inhabited areas remained at a medieval level.

This contradiction and contrast heightened Duanmu Lian's vigilance to a whole new level.

When he looked at his location and his surroundings, he narrowed his eyes.

"This is... a dragon?"

Within his retina, through his mental perception, he saw and sensed a group of Western-looking dragons rushing toward the human city.

From the group of dragons, Duanmu Lian observed a high concentration of magical energy and a tremendous life force.

There are supernatural life forms, and they also possess magic.

"An unfamiliar world, but one with great potential for exploration."

With a smile, Duanmu Lian took out her ink-black longsword, Black Blade Dark Moon, which had been refined by millions of evil souls.

Then he jumped onto a tree branch, and his figure sped away like an arrow released from a bow.

.....................

"Quickly! Get the crossbows ready!"

"All soldiers defending the city, and all able-bodied men, who do not wish for their entire families to perish in the dragon's jaws, must take up arms and fight!!"
