I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

In the blink of an eye, a strange, gentle power instantly filled his entire body.

Without a second thought, he immediately closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the seemingly endless dark space, and carefully experienced this opportunity that could drive countless wanderers mad.

The Ancient Divine Tree quietly watched Huang Quan, who was now in meditation, and sighed softly, but if you listened carefully, it sounded like a sigh of sadness.

"Time is running out, a year... it will pass quickly! I only have this one year to free him... Originally, I planned to use the power of darkness to cover the entire Xiyu tribe, forcibly increasing their strength so that they could resist Dongchen... but this method has extremely serious side effects..."

"If we really do that, I'm afraid the overall strength of Xiyu will become extremely weak in the future, which is not what I want to see..." The Ancient Yuan Divine Tree looked at Huang Quan meaningfully again, revealing a complicated expression.

"I can see that this person possesses a power that even frightens me... but it's not obvious. Perhaps he's just in his growth phase! If it's later... it might be fate. Little brother, even destiny isn't letting you have your way!"

"Alas! Brother, I hope you will wake up soon! You have already corrupted Dongchen... Xiyu cannot follow Dongchen's path..."

Finally, the ancient divine tree's large eye slowly closed, but in that instant, something unknown seemed to flow slowly within it.

Those... seemed to be tears of extreme sorrow.

At this moment, a wisp of black light slowly appeared in Huang Quan's mind, wandering around intermittently, as if searching for something.

Since the ancient Primordial Spirit Tree fell silent, this dark land has once again become peaceful.

Of course, apart from the steady breathing of Huang Quan with his eyes closed, there was no other sound.

As for this dark place, it has existed since the birth of the Ancient Primordial God Tree. No one knows how it came into being or when it appeared. Even the Ancient Primordial God Tree can only vaguely sense that this space is fused with its mind and spirit. If this space dissipates, it will die directly. Conversely, if it is gone, this space will also collapse.

Although strange, it does exist.

Furthermore, such places are not unique to Xiyu; they also exist in tribes that possess religious objects.

However, there is also a more convincing explanation: this space is a gift bestowed upon these objects of faith by the True Profound Continent when they materialized...

They live off them, and they also perish from them.

……

On the other hand, Huang Quan was in a very strange state at this moment. Although his body was still there, his thoughts seemed to have been taken to an unknown place by the mark.

There is no other scenery here; the sky is dark, covering everything... and the ground is just a platform made of ordinary bluestone.

But this platform, though seemingly having an end, is actually boundless.

Huang Quan walked step by step on this platform, as if he were an eternal being, simply walking.

Just then, he abruptly stopped and looked up at the sky, but the sky remained still, only darkness, nothing else. Then, his gaze fell upon the endless blue stone platform...

For a fleeting moment, a slight realization suddenly welled up in my mind, but vanished without a trace in an instant...

These things he couldn't grasp or touch... and though he was in a state of confusion, he didn't give up, continuing to search for that clearer side with a determined expression.

Over and over again... without stopping.

There is no time here, and he has already forgotten the existence of time.

After countless attempts, at one moment, the sky suddenly began to churn without warning, as if a thin crack had been torn open, and countless black mists and rumbling sounds appeared out of thin air and resounded throughout the space.

Huang Quan sensed something was wrong and, without hesitation, immediately looked up into the sky.

The sudden change before his eyes startled him slightly, but in that instant, the sky seemed to fall silent again, as if nothing had ever happened.

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, Huang Quan was startled and unconsciously took a few steps back. However, the shock in his eyes did not dissipate.

"Could it be that I saw it wrong?" He muttered to himself, suppressing the various emotions in his heart.

Rubbing his temples, Huang Quan took a deep breath to calm himself down before continuing forward.

His departure was not for any particular reason, but simply because he was following the principle that a certain path must be taken.

Since there is no one else here, he is the only one who can implement this principle.

At that very moment, as he took that step, that strange feeling surged into his heart once more. But this time, surprisingly, he didn't try to explore it. Instead, with an uncertain expression, he turned his gaze back to the darkness of the sky.

In an instant, that realization vanished from his mind once more. But his gaze remained fixed on the darkness…

"No, I'm not seeing things!" Suddenly, Huang Quan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked up at the sky. He seemed to have discovered something. Then he turned his gaze to the endless bluestone platform, but this time what he saw was slightly different from before.

The sky is still dark, the bluestone is still boundless, but the people are no longer here!

In an instant, countless thoughts flowed slowly through Huang Quan's mind, and the black light that had been searching for something suddenly stopped wandering and became motionless, as if it were sensing something. However, after a while, it began to wander again, but this time, it was not searching, but flying quickly in one direction.

Huang Quan was naturally unaware of these things; at this moment, his mind was completely focused on this sudden realization.

"If I'm not mistaken... this sky must be the dark power of the ancient primordial spirit tree, and this land... must be the realization I had in my subconscious..."

"How strange! Is my enlightenment merely an endless expanse of bluestone land? Or is the existence of this land simply to reveal the vast difference between me and the ancient Primordial Spirit Tree?"

"And that initial churning, though seemingly turbulent, was not... There was something inside... but I can't see it with my current abilities!"

"Sigh!" At this moment, Huang Quan sighed softly, then calmed his mind and murmured to himself, "The power of heaven and earth and the power of belief, the power of belief and my insights... these are like stages, which need to be entered step by step, and cannot be rushed..."

"After all, the most important thing now is not to comprehend the power of heaven and earth of the ancient primordial spirit tree, but to use its power to unleash my own... power of heaven and earth!"

"But what exactly is my power of heaven and earth? Is it illusion... or reality?"

The power of reality is what the eyes can see, the hands can touch, and the ears can hear; it is the power of the surface of heaven and earth. The most prominent manifestation of this power is the power of the five elements, because the five elements are the foundation of a world, and therefore are easily comprehended by cultivators.

However, as the saying goes, things are valued for their rarity. While the power of the five elements is easy for people to comprehend, the strength after cultivation is very low. For example, if a cultivator in the early stage of the Transformation Realm who cultivates the fire element were to face a cultivator in the Transformation Realm who cultivates the void element, the latter would have a high chance of winning. This is due to the difference in power.

Although there are some exceptions, they are extremely rare. Therefore, when cultivators in the Zhouyou Realm comprehend the power of heaven and earth, they do not initially choose the power of the five elements. Only those whose talent is limited or who have no other choice will settle for the latter.

Huang Quan is currently at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Even if he is injured, he is still at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Although he is still quite far from the Transformation Realm, this opportunity has paved the way for his future.

As for the rest, it depends on whether the power of heaven and earth that Huang Quan comprehends is illusory or real.

However, Huang Quan is different from other cultivators. A cultivator who normally enters Nirvana goes through a process of comprehending the power of heaven and earth from Nirvana to Nirvana Perfection. The next step is to move mountains and fill seas with the help of the weak power of heaven and earth.

Because of the source of his power, Huang Quan was already at the ninth level of Nirvana from the moment he entered Nirvana, so he basically did not go through this process. This means that the difficulty for him to comprehend the power of heaven and earth is several times greater than that for ordinary Nirvana cultivators.

Please take one day off.

Chapter 188 In the end, he forgot.

Different starting points lead to different results. The same applies to Huang Quan. Even with the help of the Ancient Primordial Spirit Tree, it can only give him a clue at most. Whether he can comprehend the power of heaven and earth that belongs to him still depends on himself.

Fortunately, Huang Quan understood this very well, so he wasn't in a hurry to get better, because there was no use in being anxious. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and placed the blue stone and dark space into his mind in the form of imagination, and then slowly savored it.

"The power of darkness is very strong. Among the void powers I know, this power is at least in the top three. If I want to turn it into my understanding, I only need to merge into this darkness. In this way, I can use this power of darkness to have the opportunity to directly reach the realm of perfection..."

"But I'm unwilling, even if I succeed in the end. It's not that I despise this dark power, but because this dark power is ultimately not my understanding. If I were to integrate it, my cultivation would definitely stop at the Transcendent Realm. After all, this Ancient Primordial Spirit Tree only wants a Transcendent Realm cultivator to help it..."

"So my attention should not be on the darkness above, but on the blue stone earth beneath this darkness, because I can feel that only by understanding this blue stone earth that reflects my heart can I comprehend the power of heaven and earth that belongs to me..." As he pondered, Huang Quan seemed to have a glimmer of understanding.

In fact, what he thought was not wrong. Although the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree also had the intention of allowing him to comprehend his own dark power, it was more about revealing his inner self in the form of a visible object. Simply put, the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree used its dark power to transform Huang Quan's inner self into this blue stone land.

That is why the black sky above and the blue stone earth below correspond in Huang Quan's eyes, forming this space that belongs to him and the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree. The reason why the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree does this is very simple: to allow Huang Quan to better comprehend the power of heaven and earth that belongs to him. Because the greater one's inner strength, the greater the possibility of comprehension.

"Sigh! What a hassle! I have absolutely no knowledge of the power of heaven and earth. Although I am very clear that I can learn a lot of information about the power of heaven and earth from this space with just a slight thought, I can't do that... Maybe I'm afraid..." Huang Quan murmured, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

His fear was not without reason. Any cultivator would feel fear while comprehending the power of heaven and earth. They fear that their own power is weak, thus limiting their strength; they fear that they cannot control the power of heaven and earth, thus suffering a backlash and dying; they fear failure; they fear everything...

This is the inner demon of a Nirvana cultivator. However, the inner demon is not only in this aspect, but also in other aspects. For example, the drowning incident back then was due to the inability to let go of hatred, which is why he has never stepped into a higher realm.

But so what? When the time comes, they still have to face it. They either spend their whole lives in a state of rebirth or they risk their lives to take a chance. So in the end, it's just a choice.

"Sigh!" Huang Quan sighed again. He didn't know what he could comprehend in this space, nor did he know whether his power was real or illusory. But he did know that he was different from other cultivators. He had no choice but to take a gamble. So he quickly calmed his mind.

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Before that time.

A clear, crisp sound slowly pulled Huang Quan from his dream back to reality. As he awoke from his daze, his head throbbed with pain.

"Hmm... what's that sound?"

Where am I?

Huang Quan muttered to himself, raising his left hand and tapping his head. He was probably trying to get his head used to this method. He was lying on a wooden bed, feeling the firmness of the wood. He shifted his upper body and slowly got up, but his gaze swept over the entire area around him.

This is a small wooden cabin.

Its space is not very large, consisting of only three parts: front, middle, and back.

From this bedroom, Huang Quan could see three wooden doors in front of him. It seemed that the owner of this small wooden house had deliberately placed them there, as all three doors were built on a straight line. Huang Quan was currently in the bedroom at the far end of the room. Apart from some necessary furniture and a small wooden window facing outwards, there was nothing particularly special about the room.

Seeing this, Huang Quan became even more confused. He was clearly fighting with Zhu Yongyue, so how did he end up here inexplicably?

But just then, the same voice reached Huang Quan's ears again, only this time, along with the voice, two other things appeared.

One was a leaf that blew from outside the small wooden window to Huang Quan's side, and the other was a soft and delicate voice that reached his ears.

"Still a little short..."

Huang Quan didn't think much of the leaf when he saw it, but he was surprised when he heard the sound. Without thinking, he slowly walked towards the middle of the wooden house.

He could tell where the sound was coming from.

As he walked to the middle of the cottage, a woman dressed in a white lotus-patterned dress, exuding an elegant aura, came into his view.

However, Huang Quan couldn't see her face clearly because she covered her appearance with a white veil, making her seem somewhat mysterious.

The woman sat on a worn-out wooden chair, holding a needle in her left hand and supporting a brocade satin with her right, embroidering...

It was a lotus flower that was almost finished...

At that moment, Huang Quan finally understood: the sound he had just heard came from the embroidery...

He didn't disturb her, but simply gazed at her and the lotus painting...

Stitch after stitch, the woman quickly completed the lotus flower. The flower was so lifelike, as if it truly existed in reality, yet it was beautiful but lacked spirit, lifeless and devoid of vitality…

After gazing at the lotus flower for a long time, the woman finally sighed softly before turning her gaze to Huang Quan: "You're awake?"

"I've been awake for a long time..." Huang Quan seemed to have noticed something and answered calmly.

"What did you think of the lotus flower just now?" the woman asked.

“Very good, but…”

"what?"
