The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Ye Fan immediately entered the secret chamber, sat cross-legged on the futon, and tightly held the divine source given to him by Su Chen in his palm.

The divine source was warm and smooth like jade, with strands of extremely pure source energy constantly seeping out and flowing slowly along the meridians in his palms. He circulated the incomplete chapter of the Daoist scripture within his body—the Bitter Sea Chapter—guiding this pure power into the Bitter Sea below his dantian.

That sea of ​​suffering was originally a desolate, gray, and boundless place where spiritual energy could hardly enter. But at this moment, the source energy transformed from the divine source rushed into it like a golden stream, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

The Bitter Sea surged violently, its turbid waves towering high, emitting a muffled roar. Ye Fan felt his body tremble violently and his meridians throb with pain, but he gritted his teeth and focused his mind, continuously urging his source energy to cleanse and purify the Bitter Sea.

The power of the divine source flowed endlessly, and golden light spread throughout the Sea of ​​Bitterness, dispelling the darkness and cleansing the filth. Gradually, faint lights appeared within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the turbid energy receded, and a life force originating from the source quietly began to grow.

The sea of ​​suffering trembled violently, and golden light surged forth, illuminating it completely.

An aura far surpassing anything seen before rose from Ye Fan's body, with spiritual energy gathering wildly around him, and his physical body and soul undergoing a simultaneous transformation.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing across them.

"The Bitter Sea Realm is complete!"

The sea of ​​suffering within his body had been opened, and the source energy circulated throughout his body. The refreshing feeling of being reborn made him truly realize the beginning of his cultivation path.

Looking down at the divine source in his palm, it still emitted a soft purple light, its size remained unchanged, and it still exuded a warm aura.

Divine Source is so precious that even a tiny amount of consumption allowed him to break through the Bitter Sea Realm, which he had been unable to break through for a long time. Thinking about how he had consumed a lot of Hundred Herbs Elixir, and how Pang Bo had even given him all of his own Hundred Herbs Elixir, the cultivators of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven said that the Hundred Herbs Elixir was made from precious heaven and earth spiritual herbs, yet he still couldn't break through the Bitter Sea Realm.

Comparing the two, one can understand the wonder and preciousness of the Divine Source.

Without this item, he doesn't know how many years he would have wasted in the mortal realm, and he might not even have been able to touch the threshold of cultivation.

He thought of Su Chen and murmured to himself, "A piece of divine source helped me break free from the sea of ​​suffering and enter the path of cultivation... This kindness is too heavy."

"Brother Chen..." Ye Fan murmured, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with determination. "I will remember this kindness today. If I have the chance in the future, I will repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

In this unfamiliar world where he had no relatives or friends, this act of kindness in his time of need was more etched in his heart than any treasure.

Su Chen walked slowly up the stone steps on the mountain peak, wanting to reach the summit, survey the surrounding mountains, and experience the wonders of the cultivation world. He walked casually for about ten steps when the Devouring Demon Canopy in the Sea of ​​Bitterness suddenly trembled. A faint, yet profound, rhythmic tremor, so powerful it caused the heavens and earth to tremble slightly, emanated from the deep soil beneath his feet.

Drawn by the Devouring Demon Canopy, that aura revealed a trace of antiquity, vastness, and the power to suppress all ages, as if it had slumbered for countless eras, belonging to the Daoist charm of some supreme imperial weapon.

Only the Supreme Emperor Weapon can sense the existence of the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

Su Chen's heart stirred slightly as he recalled that in the original story, the Yin Cave was located beneath the Yin-Yang Twin Caves of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and Ye Fan had sensed the Ancient Immortal Tower within the Lingxu Cave.

"Could the Desolate Tower be hidden below?"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited. The Desolate Tower is the foremost of the three great immortal artifacts of the Big Dipper, surpassing both the Green Bronze Cauldron of the Central Plains and the Immortal Bell of Kunlun. It is a true immortal artifact, with power far exceeding that of an ultimate imperial weapon.

It was forged by the Desolate Emperor Shi Hao. After he became an Immortal King, he mixed the nine immortal metals with chaotic materials and reforged it in the style of his old friend "Little Pagoda". He then sealed the remnants of Little Pagoda in the core and integrated them with his own Dao principles and essence.

Before Shi Hao, who had ruled over all ages, ascended to the heavens, he left the desolate tower in the mortal realm to suppress all the heavens and protect the nine heavens and ten earths.

This tower can suppress true immortals, seal supreme beings in forbidden zones, and freeze time and space and the underworld.
