The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

In the central part of the Eastern Wilderness, bordering the Northern Region, lies a place called Sacred Cliff. Here stand over fifty colossal, pitch-black mountains, their surfaces as black as ink and as deep as an abyss. The mountains are steep, shrouded in perpetual mist, exuding a deathly aura and a chilling atmosphere. A sinister, oppressive, and ominous atmosphere pervades the place. The laws of heaven and earth are in disarray; if a cultivator steps into it, their magical power is suppressed, rendering them unable to fly.

The Sacred Cliff has an extraordinary origin. At the end of the Ancient Era, about 80,000 years ago, a Great Accomplished Sacred Body (protector of the Void Emperor) used unparalleled divine power to forcibly sever and relocate a mountain range from the Undying Mountain, using it as his cultivation ground and burial place. In his later years, the Sacred Body was attacked and killed by an ominous figure and the Undying Daoist (a demigod of the Undying Emperor), dying on the Sacred Cliff. The Great Emperor Wushi descended, sealing the remains of the Undying Daoist and the Sacred Body with the Investiture of the Gods, and setting up the Wushi Emperor Formation to suppress everything, thus creating a forbidden area where death is a constant threat.

On the highest peak among these fifty-odd giant mountains, there is an ancient bronze coffin. Inside the coffin are no remains, but a jade-like stone slab. The slab is ancient and simple, neither gold nor jade, and is bluish-gray in color. It is several feet long and wide, and about half a foot thick. Its surface is smooth as a mirror, with mysterious and unfathomable patterns and marks like a galaxy.

The secret of the character "行" lies within. It is not presented in conventional writing; at its core is a radiant and ethereal "行" character, a celestial script from the mythological era. It is restrained and not outwardly revealed, yet it contains the origin of time and space and the ultimate truth of speed.

But the next moment, the Dao patterns on it disappeared, leaving only a smooth stone slab.

At the same time, the character "行" appeared in Su Chen's mind, and Dao patterns, identical to those on the stone slab, spread from it. Gradually, the Dao patterns evolved into nine overlapping, three-dimensional Dao diagrams, revealing the profound meaning of extreme speed within them.

First image: Shrinking the earth into an inch: Folding space, traveling a thousand miles in one step;

Second image: The ends of the earth are within reach: Ignoring distance, crossing in an instant;

Third picture - Walking on air: Stepping on the void as if walking on flat ground;

Fourth image: Spacetime jump: tearing through space, direct teleportation;

Fifth image: Eternal Speed: Unlimited speed, faster than time itself;

Image 6: Time Stasis: Extreme speed, paused time;

Seventh image: Reversing time: A short-distance rewind, turning back the clock;

Eighth Picture: Traveling Through the Nine Heavens: From the highest heavens to the deepest hells;

The Ninth Picture: The True Meaning of Travel: The Origin of Time and Space, Freedom and Unfettered;

As the nine diagrams appeared, a flood of insights surged through Su Chen's mind. He gradually grasped all the diagrams, though not completely, but he firmly believed that as his cultivation improved, he would eventually understand and comprehend all nine diagrams.

His entire aura became ethereal and indistinct, as if he had entered the void and was about to vanish. The commotion below drew his attention back. "This old man doesn't know what's good for him. Beat him up! If he dies, it's on me!" A domineering voice rang out. Su Chen looked down and saw a minor cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm instructing his servants to punch and kick Old Man Jiang of the inn.

Su Chen frowned slightly and unleashed a divine light from the second-floor room. The light was crimson, emerging from the Spring of Life and surrounding the Heavenly Phoenix in the Sea of ​​Bitterness. This was the first time he had used the divine power of the Heaven-Covering Technique since he cultivated it. The divine light instantly pierced through the servant's head, leaving a small, charred, smoking black hole. "Not bad in terms of power."

The young cultivator was shocked. His face turned deathly pale, and he looked towards the source of the divine light, only to meet Su Chen's gaze on the second floor. He staggered back a few steps. He felt an immense pressure emanating from Su Chen, a feeling he had only ever experienced from the elders of the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven. He swallowed hard, knowing he had encountered a formidable figure today. "Senior, I am Li Changqiu of the Misty Cloud Cave Heaven, the seventh son of the Li family of Qingfeng Town. It is truly an honor to meet you today."

He believed he had spoken and behaved politely, so the senior before him wouldn't do anything to him. Unexpectedly, he was met with a divine light that pierced his skull. Before dying, his eyes looked at Su Chen with resentment, wanting to ask why he was killed without a word? Did he deserve to die? Unfortunately, his vision quickly darkened, and he could no longer see anything before him.
