273: Refine the Blood Soul Demon Seal! Enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!!!

Shen Tianxing simply sat down cross-legged. Since this was the Enlightenment Barrier, there must be anomalies here; it couldn't be completely empty!

Otherwise, how did the predecessors benefit from this place?

When Shen Tianxing sat down cross-legged and relaxed his mind, the entire dark space indeed began to change!

Boom!!!

In the dark space, the wind and clouds changed, as if transforming into a real world, and the endless sky suddenly became incredibly vast!

Shen Tianxing, at this moment, seemed to enter a marvelous space, becoming one with this world!

A vast blue sky, boundless earth, and mountains towering into the clouds, like sword peaks piercing the firmament... In the Void Realm, a cyan figure appeared, then transformed into a giant Azure Dragon!

Its Dragon body was as massive as a mountain, its endless form hidden within the clouds. Its majestic Dragon head, with eyes that seemed to have witnessed the vicissitudes of time, contained boundless light. Wherever its gaze fell, there was life!

Wherever the Azure Dragon passed, flowers bloomed everywhere, auspicious signs descended from the heavens, and the sound of the Dao rumbled!

The scene shifted, the Azure Dragon had disappeared, and a burly figure stood amidst a vast sea. He wore a cyan robe, with thick, long hair casually draped behind him, and a refined demeanor on his resolute face.

He looked like a scholar steeped in poetry and books!

Om!!!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the Void Realm. Countless demonic creatures had appeared in this vast sea at some unknown time!

Their aura surged to the sky, their bodies were massive, and malevolent Qi pervaded the Heaven and Earth. Invisible killing intent filled the sea, and all living beings were annihilated before these endless demonic creatures!

A great battle was about to erupt!

The demonic creatures roared, terrifying pressure descended from the sky, and terrifying large hands and profound Dao appeared!

Mountains collapsed, and the sea overturned!

The middle-aged man in cyan seemed oblivious to it all, facing the endless Dao with a calm and unperturbed expression, showing no change whatsoever!

A divine weapon radiating five-colored light appeared in his hand. The sword's body shimmered with brilliance, Dao circulated around it, filled with terrifying sharpness!

The next moment, Sword Qi crisscrossed thirty thousand miles, its dazzling light outshining fifteen provinces!

Only that cyan figure was seen drawing and sheathing his sword. Each strike contained endless cyan light, driving the sword with Dao, slaying all the demonic creatures!

Blood covered the Heaven and Earth, yet it could not hide the astonishing brilliance on him!

He was covered in wounds, yet he stood as straight as the sword in his hand!

Until the very last moment, the Heaven and Earth darkened, and the scene vanished!

...At this moment, Shen Tianxing felt as if his entire being was immersed in that eternally astonishing swordsmanship, as if he had merged with everything around him, drawn into it!

No other, no self, no heaven, no earth, no myriad things in the world!

Boom!!!

In an instant, an endless long river appeared in the Void Realm!

The river of yellow springs emerged, heavenly palaces floated, and the Ten Yama Kings revealed themselves one by one!

The boundless and vast world remained utterly still, with only the azure sky and Yellow Springs, and the Ten Yama Kings above Shen Tianxing's head!

Infinite Spiritual Qi surged from all directions, and this silent space underwent a tremendous change!

But Shen Tianxing was unaware; he remained as before, immersed in that eternally astonishing swordsmanship.

He diligently absorbed all the changes, comprehending the Dao Patterns within them. In his Soul Palace, even his Divine Soul entered a profoundly mysterious Realm.

Boom!!!

On the soul slaying platform, an immeasurable divine radiance bloomed at some unknown time!

Streams of divine light poured into his body, and the true essence throughout his body circulated rapidly!

In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, a blood-colored light mass seemed to be startled by something, beginning to vibrate violently!

It was originally attached to the Soul Palace, and dense blood-colored threads seemed to devour the entire Soul Palace. If the Soul Palace were devoured, the Divine Soul within would naturally not escape the fate of perishing!

It was a pity that this blood-colored light mass had no idea what it was encountering!

Infinite Divine Soul power erupted from the Soul Palace, imbued with mysterious Dao Patterns. All the red threads in its path were shattered!

Ah!!!

Within the blood-colored light mass, a human face suddenly appeared, hideous and terrifying, covered in blood, like a demon that devoured human souls!

If Shen Tianxing were not immersed in enlightenment, he would recognize it at a glance: wasn't this Mo Li?

That Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert who was once so high and mighty!

He had originally thought he could easily conquer the entire Great Qi, but he didn't expect to be brought to this state by a mere Cultivator!

In the end, he even paid with his life to use a forbidden technique.

If he hadn't died, seeing this scene might have made him die of anger!

The Blood Soul Demonic Seal, which he had sacrificed his life for, was now being gradually fragmented and rapidly devoured by Shen Tianxing's Divine Soul!

Death is easy!

If he still intended to do evil after death, then Shen Tianxing naturally wouldn't be polite.

Didn't he bet all his cultivation to die with Shen Tianxing?

Now, all his methods were at the point of falling apart!

Rumble!

In Shen Tianxing's Sea of Consciousness, rumbling sounds were constant, yet they did not disturb him in the slightest. His own Divine Soul power devoured the Blood Soul Demonic Seal, and endless true essence rapidly surged out from the disintegrated Blood Soul Demonic Seal, rushing towards his limbs and bones!

The Great Sun Ethereal Scripture, which grew stronger with challenges, possessed incredible abilities. Even though its grade might not be considered high now, it was still performing its intended function.

How vast was the lifelong cultivation of a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert?

And this was an expert from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, so it was naturally even more extraordinary!

The Blood Soul Demonic Seal was rapidly devoured, transforming into his own true essence, circulating through his Meridians. His Meridians had long since been widened countless times!

The benefits of his improved Physique were now evident.

Even with Mo Li's entire true essence pouring in, it did not affect Shen Tianxing in the slightest.

Everything progressed gradually and was quickly assimilated!

Rumbling sounds continuously came from within his body, and his aura grew stronger. A dense sphere of true essence formed around him, enveloping his entire being!

"Ah!!!!"

Mo Li roared, twisting in pain. This was his last remnant thought, and his last resort!

Watching the Blood Soul Demonic Seal disintegrate, his lone wandering spirit could no longer hide!

Death was only a matter of time. Trying to escape?

It wouldn't be that easy!

Whoosh!

In the Void Realm, the sound of chains suddenly echoed, as if extending from endless Hell, passing directly through Shen Tianxing's body and into where his Divine Soul resided.

The Wheel-Turning King, with an indifferent expression, uttered a decree: "Soul-Snatching!"

A hook, gleaming with a chilling luster, extended from the chains and firmly hooked Mo Li's remnant soul!

"No!!!"

The terrifying hook and the indifferent voice, like a Yama King from the underworld, personally snatched him away!

The Wheel-Turning King indifferently watched the living soul before him, and in its terrified gaze, swallowed it whole!

Boom!!!

An incredibly terrifying aura erupted!

In the Heaven and Earth, the sound of the Dao rumbled, and golden flowers rained down from the sky!

An invisible figure suddenly leaped out from within Shen Tianxing, stepping into the vast sky!

He wore a black robe, with an indifferent gaze, handsome features, and a tall, elegant figure, as if a Young Master who had stepped out of a painting, with a serene and natural demeanor!

...He was like the Dominator of this Heaven and Earth; with every gesture, Dao Patterns naturally formed!

Wherever his gaze fell, everything in the Heaven and Earth was within his sight!

Swish!

Two bright eyes suddenly opened. Within his pupils, Dao Patterns emerged, golden light like ink, revealing wisdom that saw through all things in the world!

"The Dharma Idol is complete!!"

Stepping into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, Dao Patterns floated around him, Divine Qi returned to its origin, imbued with invisible mighty power!

At this moment, Shen Tianxing finally understood how powerful the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, which he had once looked up to, truly was; it was completely different from what he had imagined!

No wonder countless Prodigies and demons in the world could step into the Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm, yet throughout their lives, they could not advance further and truly enter the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

Harmony of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Aptitude, and Opportunity—none could be lacking!

It wasn't something you could enter just because you had talent. So many external factors were indispensable!

Shen Tianxing sat cross-legged and did not stop there. Having just entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm with a profound foundation, achieving this in one step, he naturally wouldn't give up the chance to advance further!

In this space, everything was static, but not absolutely static!

There was an endless supply of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the Opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. With the harmony of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and Opportunity all present, coupled with his current Aptitude, further advancement was not impossible!

Shen Tianxing's opened eyes quickly closed again, and his entire being once more sank into a mysterious Realm, continuing to comprehend!

The strength of the middle-aged man in cyan was unfathomable, at least at a level Shen Tianxing could not currently comprehend, extremely profound. With such a good Opportunity, wouldn't it be a missed chance if he didn't seize it?

The reason the Enlightenment Barrier is called the Enlightenment Barrier is that, in addition to the Opportunity for enlightenment, the cultivation speed here is more than ten times faster than outside!

It was even faster than Shen Tianxing's cultivation speed on the first enlightenment platform!

No one would let go of such a heaven-sent Opportunity!

Rumble!!!

The Void Realm vibrated, and myriad auspicious Qi continuously gushed out. The entire dark space had already transformed into another mysterious scene.

While Shen Tianxing was in secluded cultivation, others were doing the same!

Here, you couldn't feel the passage of time, nor the external pressure. You could wholeheartedly comprehend your own Dao!

Until you could no longer bear it and were forced to leave!

...Time flew by, and several months passed in a flash!

In the Void Realm, vibrations suddenly became incessant!

Figures were continuously shaken out of the Enlightenment Barrier. In just three short months, hundreds of people had been forced out!

At this time, on Moon Gazing Island, the various Sect Cultivators who had been waiting here all showed joy upon seeing the suddenly appearing figures!

"Senior Brother Long, you're back! That's great!"

"Senior Brother Wang is back, quickly report to the Sect Master!"

"Big Brother is back, little sister, quickly go find father!"

People from various forces in the Outer Sea of the Demon Burial Zone identified their own Prodigies one by one.

The time inside the Azure Dragon Secret Realm was different from the outside world; this was no secret among the various forces, everyone knew!

One month inside was equivalent to one day outside, so one year was only twelve days!

Those who came out safely at this time had stayed inside for two years, but only twenty-seven days had passed in the outside world, not even a full month!

But this specific time point was precisely the time node for entering the third level. Only Cultivators who came out at this time were considered lucky!

Those who hadn't come out either continued to advance or had already perished in the first two levels of the Secret Realm!

To see their own Prodigies come out alive, even if he couldn't continue further, was a great thing!

Streams of light came from all directions; the Sect Masters, City Lords, and Sect Leaders of various forces had all arrived!

Except for the experts from the Two Islands, Five Sects, and Eight Cities, almost all the experts from other sea regions came to watch the excitement.

"Hahaha! Sect Leader Shen, congratulations! Your Young Master has returned as desired, and his future cultivation path will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"City Lord Long, you're too kind. Didn't your eldest Young Master also return safely? Although it's a bit regrettable that he couldn't continue further, it's a good thing to come back alive! With the Opportunities in the first two Secret Realm levels, it's enough for him to benefit for life!"

"That's right, how vast is the Azure Dragon Secret Realm? Each level has different Opportunities. Those with extraordinary talent will naturally choose to continue, but the danger will also be greater. It's better to come out at the third level; this is called securing one's gains!"

"Alas, that's also because our people's cultivation is insufficient and their talent is lacking. Otherwise, who wouldn't want to advance further?"

"Don't rush, it's only been twenty-seven days. We'll only know what truly happens when the later people come out. This is just the beginning!"

"Well said..."

At the altar, a group of Sect Big Bosss congratulated each other.

Meanwhile, in Wanglong City, the power holders of the Two Islands, Five Sects, and Eight Cities were also gathered.

"Twenty-seven days. Compared to the last Azure Dragon Secret Realm, the time for emergence this time is a bit longer. If I remember correctly, the first batch of Cultivators to emerge last time was twenty-five days!"

Mu Yunqing of Moon Gazing Island held a cup of tea, took a light sip, and slowly said.

This time was quite good, longer than the previous few times, which indirectly proved that the Cultivators this time were stronger!

"Island Master Mu is right. This time is already quite good for these forces that can't make a name for themselves, but compared to our Prodigies, they are still far behind!"

"The third level is the Enlightenment Barrier. Our people can at least stay inside for seven months, or even pass the entire year!"

"The longer they stay, the more benefits they gain, and their understanding of their own Dao will become clearer. We don't need to rush."

Lei Tianjue, the City Lord of Thunder Abyss City, said with a sneer.

The Prodigies chosen by the Eight Cities were naturally incomparable to ordinary Cultivators; they were all exceptionally talented individuals!

Passing the third barrier was not a rare feat.

They all had great confidence in their own people!

"Confidence is a good thing, but this year is different from previous years. Have you all forgotten that two madmen went in this year!"

Lian Chengyan of Luoshen Island said with a gloomy face, unhurriedly.

His words instantly made all the Sect Masters and City Lords present look grim, and everyone's heart was pounding!

Their memories were pulled back to twenty-something days ago, the moment the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opened!

Shen Tianxing! Liu Xianyun!

After more than twenty days, they had almost forgotten these two people!

"Island Master Lian, don't forget, those Saints and Prodigies from the Inner Sea are not to be trifled with!"

"They won't allow anyone to compete with them for Opportunities."

Ouyang Bi of Queyue City showed a hint of ruthlessness, saying lightly.

As if everything was within his expectations.

A look of indifference flashed in Mu Yunqing's eyes, and he said lightly: "It's useless to say these things now. We don't understand the situation inside. Let's first ask those who came out what the situation is like inside!"

He didn't mention Shen Tianxing once, but his words also carried a hint of heaviness.

One could imagine that in their eyes, Shen Tianxing was like a thorn in their flesh; not life-threatening, but painfully uncomfortable!
