Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

This mist is an even more powerful formation than the one on Turtle Mountain. Combined with the terrain of the dense forest, the arrangement of the trees, and the underground spiritual veins, it guides, disperses, and absorbs energy.

Fog overcomes hardness with softness.

The Cangyuan cultivation world is too vast and too ancient, with countless cultivation methods.

There are no invincible supernatural powers, only different relative methods.

But Lin Zhao was not discouraged.

With the aid of the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, it can control external spiritual energy, and the Five Elements Extinction Divine Arrow consumes less energy than the Golden Phoenix Arrow. It can be fired with only 20% of the spiritual liquid in the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool.

This was only the beginning of his understanding; once he's more proficient, the energy consumption will be even lower, one-tenth of the spiritual liquid per shot. He also had a rough idea of ​​the power of the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Arrow.

Before entering the secret realm, his combat strength was roughly at the peak of the early Core Formation stage. He was no match for ordinary Core Formation cultivators, but he was still some distance from the mid-Core Formation stage.

However, the destructive power of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Arrow is now several times stronger than that of the Golden Phoenix Arrow, reaching the level of the mid-stage Core Formation. The burst of power at the core can touch the threshold of the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation.

If he were to use the Heavenly Heart Wheel for assistance, he could fire continuously at full power, and the combined destructive force could approach that of the late Core Formation stage.

Lin Zhao is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, yet he can unleash attacks equivalent to those at the late Core Formation stage.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, this supernatural power's auxiliary capabilities are indeed terrifying.

Lin Zhao found an open space at the edge of the fog, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Half a day later, the spiritual energy was fully restored. The spirit stones also replenished the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool.

He opened his eyes and stood up.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel reappeared behind me, with five-colored light condensing at its edge, and the wheel slowly rotating.

The first arrow. The bowstring snapped, and a five-colored streak of light crashed into the wall of mist. The mist absorbed most of the power, but a huge rift was torn open at the edge, with traces of five-colored light remaining at the edge of the rift, preventing the mist from recovering for the time being.

The second arrow followed immediately, striking deep into the rift. The rift was widened to twice its original size, and something glowing could be seen deep within the mist.

The third arrow. The crack extended to the vicinity of the mist's core, and the surrounding ancient trees began to melt away, annihilated and disintegrated by the Five Elements, scattering like ashes.

The fourth arrow. The core of the fog was revealed. It was an even thicker white fog, almost solidified, like a giant fog cocoon, suspended in the deepest part of the dense forest. The surface of the cocoon was covered with fine array patterns, each flickering drawing fog from the surrounding area.

The fifth arrow. By the time it was released, the spiritual energy in the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool was already depleted.

He didn't stop. The sixth arrow drained his own magical power. With most of his magical power drained, the light of the Heavenly Heart Wheel dimmed slightly.

The sixth arrow pierced directly into the center of the white cocoon.

The fog exploded with a roar, then contracted sharply, finally shrinking into a white sphere the size of a fist. The white sphere flickered a few times, then went out completely.

The fog has completely dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, five-colored light erupted from the core and spread in all directions. Without the fog blocking it, the remaining power of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Arrow was fully released.

The trees melted away, the ground rock layers were torn up, and the area surrounding the dense forest for dozens of miles turned into a desolate wasteland.

At the heart of the fog, the true holy land was revealed.

Lin Zhao stood at the edge of the pit, and the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel behind him slowly dissipated.

His spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool was empty.

Six arrows of the Five Elements Extinction God tore this sacred place apart, a place even the people of the ancient city dared not approach.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the pit.

The core of the sacred site was exposed to the sunlight. A small altar, built of bluestone, had a white jade palace suspended in its center.

It was small, only the size of a palm, and floated three feet above the altar, slowly rotating.

The entire hall is pure white, with every detail—walls, eaves, and pillars—exquisitely carved. Smaller buildings, corridors, and staircases can be seen through the windows.

Lin Zhao stood before the altar for a moment.

The moment his divine sense probed in, he felt his consciousness being pulled into a huge space.

Luo Tian Palace. A fourth-tier, high-grade, Nascent Soul level palace-level magic treasure.

The interior of the hall was much larger than it appeared from the outside. Hundreds of white jade and gold pillars supported the dome, their surfaces engraved with runes, and spiritual light flowed between the runes.

The palace complex contains hundreds of buildings of varying sizes. The floor is paved with white jade bricks inlaid with gold threads, which outline intricate array patterns. The dome is adorned with luminous pearls that emit a soft, pale blue glow.

The most central feature of the hall is the twenty-three fourth-tier spirit-gathering pools.

There are thirteen seats of the lowest grade, seven seats of the middle grade, and three seats of the highest grade.

The pool is square, and its walls are carved from a single piece of white jade, covered with runes.

Each spirit-gathering pool contains some spiritual liquid, but only a thin layer, barely enough to maintain the basic operation of the magical artifact.

The Luo Tian Palace possesses four great supernatural powers.

The first barrier is the Luo Tian Domain. Once released, it covers an area of ​​hundreds to thousands of miles in radius, combining suppression, defense, and sealing. Inside the main hall is a side hall called the Luo Tian Prison, which is specifically used to imprison enemies suppressed by the Luo Tian Domain.

The second level consists of the Heavenly Generals. Centered around the white jade and golden pillars within the hall, hundreds of divine generals emerge. Their combat strength varies depending on the amount of energy provided.

Legend has it that in the hands of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord, one could transform into hundreds of beings whose combat power rivaled that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, in the history of the Luo Tian Sect, the highest number of Nascent Soul level divine generals ever created was only thirty-six.

The third type is Golden Divine Thunder. Each fourth-tier Spirit Gathering Pool can condense one bolt of Golden Divine Thunder. The divine thunder condensed from a low-grade spirit pool is comparable to a strike from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while the divine thunder condensed from a high-grade spirit pool is comparable to a strike from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. By using all twenty-three spirit pools, twenty-three bolts of divine thunder can be unleashed simultaneously.

The fourth method is "Return to the Void." This allows one to instantly teleport thousands of miles into the void, avoiding all attacks without spatial attributes. It can also drag opponents into the void, allowing for suppression in conjunction with the Luo Tian Domain. Nascent Soul cultivators who are not proficient in spatial manipulation will be slowly ground to death in the void.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators can teleport, they mostly rely on the power of space and cannot stay in the void for long.

In the void, a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot last more than a year, and a Deity Transformation cultivator cannot last more than a hundred years.

The Luo Tian Palace can remain in the void for ten years.

The four great divine powers worked together to drag the Nascent Soul cultivator into the void, suppressing him with the Luo Tian Domain, while the Luo Tian Divine General and the Golden Gang Divine Thunder took turns bombarding him—enough to grind the Nascent Soul cultivator to death.

But he can't use any of these four great supernatural powers right now.

Each divine power requires immense energy. The twenty-three spirit-gathering pools of the Luo Tian Palace are now reduced to a thin layer of spiritual liquid. This is barely enough to maintain the basic operation of the magical artifacts, and they cannot even activate a single bolt of Golden Divine Lightning.

All the energy absorbed by the Luo Tian Secret Realm was given to the fifth-tier spiritual treasure, the Luo Tian Umbrella.

It would normally take over a thousand years to fill the Spirit Gathering Pool, but fortunately, the Luo Tian Palace is a palace-like magical artifact that can automatically draw energy from outside the void.

Even with the fourth-tier spiritual veins he possesses, it would still take hundreds of years to restore the basic spiritual pools.

Palace treasures are truly beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

He held the palm-sized white jade palace in his hands, and suddenly an idea struck him.

That fifth-tier spiritual treasure, the Luo Tian Umbrella, is very likely an upgraded version of the Luo Tian Palace—combining these four great divine powers into one, forming a single power of rules.

Lin Zhao looked at the Luo Tian Palace in his hand.

After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "Damn it."

This has blown up.
