With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

This concentration of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, even a mere leak of it, is enough to enable countless low-level martial artists to break through, allowing these "quasi-martial artists" who have not yet officially stepped into the first-level realm to truly embark on the path of cultivation.

Lin Yan, having fully activated the Devouring Heaven Emperor Formation, practically monopolized all the fortune, a feat so terrifying it was unimaginable!

Above the sky, a torrent of spiritual energy continued to pour into the Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle, transforming into clusters of the purest and most primordial life essence, which surged into his body, refining the Bitter Sea Divine Bridge, nourishing his limbs and bones, and the sea of ​​consciousness between his brows.

Rumble!

Lin Yan's Bitter Sea boiled, and with the infusion of vast essence, it stirred up towering waves. Dao patterns were repaired, and endless life essence washed over the entire Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. The divine bridge suspended above the Bitter Sea began to extend forward inch by inch, approaching the other shore at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crossing the sea of ​​suffering via the Divine Bridge, the path ahead leads to the first secret realm of the Shrouding Heaven Universe Secret Realm System, the final minor realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, the Other Shore.

Outside, spiritual energy was still being devoured frantically. The speed at which this spatial rift was surging out couldn't even keep up with the speed at which the Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle was devouring and refining it, causing the surrounding light to dim considerably.

In fact, this was the first time Lin Yan had activated the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern to this extent. Such terrifying devouring power allowed Xue Luo, who was far away in the depths of the Grand Canyon, to clearly perceive the changes that had occurred on the spatial rift, and his expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible? The spiritual energy is actually disappearing, and this crack is slowly healing under some irresistible force?!"

What exactly happened in Jiangcheng?

Xue Luo's body trembled, and he roared hysterically, his eyes filled with intense resentment.

"Jiangcheng is incompatible with my fate. Not only did I fail to rescue my kinsmen, but even after finally discovering a spatial rift, it still ended in failure!"

At this moment, Lin Yan was completely immersed in a special state of cultivation, in a state of detachment and oblivion, watching the divine bridge span the vast sea of ​​suffering and steadily reach the other shore on a boundless land.

Suddenly, a fog appeared, and illusions arose.

Lin Yan's consciousness suddenly trembled, and all five senses were instantly stripped away, becoming completely blurred.

His vision was obscured by the boundless gray-white mist. He could no longer hear the churning of the sea of ​​suffering, the humming of the Daoist scriptures, or sense the essence of heaven and earth, nor the beings in the outside world. Even his own physical body and consciousness were rapidly fading and gradually disappearing.

The sky and earth were empty, and all around was a vast emptiness. There was no up or down, no direction, no past or present, and it felt as if one was about to lose oneself here.

This is the ultimate life-or-death test experienced when stepping into the last minor realm of the Sea of ​​Wheels – the calamity of getting lost.

In the secret realm, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and the other shore is uncertain. Everyone knows that building a divine bridge, crossing the sea of ​​suffering, and reaching the other shore are the necessary paths for cultivating the cycle of reincarnation. However, very few people know that the other shore is never a fixed place, but rather a manifestation of the cultivator's own Dao heart.

That's why there's the saying, "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore."

Generally speaking, the higher one's natural talent and the deeper one's foundation, the greater the difficulty in reaching the other shore, and the more terrifying the danger of getting lost that one may encounter.

Lin Yan's talent and brilliance are evident. The life-or-death test he is facing now is far beyond imagination. It is as if he has fallen into an endless fog of illusion, and the strange phenomena of the outside world, the torrent of spiritual energy, the spatial rifts and so on are all isolated from him and he can no longer perceive them.

The whole world seemed to be nothing but endless gray mist, deathly silence and nothingness.

Even more terrifying was that countless chaotic fragments of spacetime began to proliferate wildly within the mist, layer upon layer, appearing before Lin Yan's eyes and lingering there.

He witnessed the collapse of the heavens and earth, the dark turmoil sweeping across the eight wastelands and six directions, and the desolate tragedy of countless geniuses being buried on the path to becoming emperors.

I also witnessed the tragic future of the Blue Star's chaotic world, the bloodshed of the Great Xia warriors, the wailing of all living beings, and the shattering of the land.

Countless human traitors and alien beings he had killed turned into lingering, illusory souls that roared and circled around him.

All of these things erupted at once, wildly disturbing his Dao heart, clouding his mind, and shaking his Dao and Dharma!

The most terrifying danger of getting lost is never being trapped in a sea of ​​suffering and unable to reach the other shore, but rather being unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, to discern one's true nature, and to see the way forward!

Once the mind and spirit are corrupted and obsessions are entangled, one will be permanently trapped in this misty other shore, with spiritual consciousness exhausted, foundation of cultivation collapsed, and physical body reduced to an empty shell. Even if one possesses supreme resources and boundless fortune, in the end one will only be an ignorant and insensible cripple.

Throughout history, countless brilliant talents have fallen at this hurdle, never making any progress in their lives, or even dying and disappearing!

On the other side, everyone noticed the strange changes that had occurred to Lin Yan.

Floating silently in the heavens, eyes closed, body motionless, its aura fluctuates wildly, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, extremely unstable. Its life force sometimes shines as bright as the sun, sometimes as faint as a firefly. It is clearly still rapidly refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, yet it seems to be imprisoned by an invisible shackle.

"Something's not right, absolutely not right!"

"His breathing is erratic!"

A group of people, their faces filled with urgency and their fists clenched, stared intently at the extremely young figure.

Everyone could clearly sense that Lin Yan was breaking through his cultivation level. Once he did, he would become the first person in the Great Xia Dynasty to surpass the fifth rank since the revival of spiritual energy!

At this time, Lin Yan, although he had only risen to prominence not long ago, could already be called invincible in the Great Xia Dynasty, but he was facing an unprecedented crisis.

Deep within the gray mist, Lin Yan's consciousness drifted in the endless void. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the Daoist scriptures, the secrets of the previous word, and the Myriad Dao Stele. Only a series of highly seductive voices echoed continuously, making him give up on finding his true self, give up on the path of cultivation, and give up on reaching the other shore.

If he falls into depravity even once, he will face utter ruin!

Lin Yan didn't know how long he had been in this void, perhaps a moment, or perhaps eternity. Just as his consciousness was about to be assimilated and fall into eternal oblivion, a dazzling ray of light suddenly pierced through the darkness.

That was the roar of the Myriad Dao Stele, and the various imperial paths inscribed on it were being revived!

Thousands of runes lit up on the monument, and countless imperial characters radiated an intense divine light that pierced through the past, present, and future, covering all directions.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but my heart is the other shore; the road ahead has no direction, but my path is the way home!"

boom!

A dazzling golden light shone from Lin Yan's body. In an instant, all the gray and white mist, fragments of time and space, and bewitching demonic sounds melted away like ice and snow, disappearing without a trace. He opened his eyes, and his turbid gaze returned to clarity.

The five senses that had been stripped away were restored, and the blurred consciousness not only returned to normal but also seemed to have been severely tempered, making the range of perception even wider.

Above the boundless sea of ​​suffering, the divine bridge spanning the two banks is flawless. At its end, there is no longer nothingness or mist, but a vast new world.

Thus, the other shore was reached.
