第两千七百三十六章 化身晋级

In other words, a cultivator of his level, who could only focus on one thing at a time, had no way to deal with this strange stray energy.

However, this did not mean that there were no other dangers in the chaotic space.

Moreover, since the bloodfire ants had flown only a short distance into it, according to Lin Xuan's estimation, the further he ventured towards the center of the explosion, the stronger the stray energy would become.

But these alone were insufficient to stop his progress. His own abilities were well-known to him; mere mysterious energies wouldn't pose much of a threat from any angle.

He had some confidence in this.

Thus, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and cautiously flew into the space.

While it might have been safer to do more probing, time was not on his side. Even though Nael Dragon World was vast, the speed of those at the Tribulation Transcending stage could not be judged by common standards. He feared that if he lingered too long, others would arrive and turn this great opportunity into a shared one—or worse, bring about his demise.

After all, in the cultivation world, countless lives were lost over disagreements. With such precious treasures at stake, the other party might easily eliminate him without any qualms.

So the time available to him was limited, leaving no room for thorough probing.

Even if he continued forward, the stray energy would be even more terrifying, but it should gradually increase in strength rather than spike instantly by several dozen times. As long as he remained cautious, there shouldn't be much danger.

Lin Xuan's eyesight was sharp; his conjecture proved to be correct. After entering the chaotic space, he indeed faced no significant trouble. Whenever those stray energies approached him, he could easily repel them with his divine techniques.

However, this void-like space was truly incomprehensible. There were no skies above or grounds below; all things merged in a state of chaos and nothingness.

This was due to the complete destruction of the laws of nature. Looking around, one couldn't even see primordial energy.

There were no animals or plants; everything was a mixture of chaos and emptiness.

The state resembled that at the very beginning of creation, where the laws of nature were still in their nascent stages. Thus, Lin Xuan seemed to glimpse some fundamental aspects of these laws.

However, he couldn't quite put his finger on what they were. At his current level, such things were too profound. Although he had a slight epiphany, a painful sensation tore through him when he tried to think further.

The pain was indescribable. Lin Xuan hurriedly stopped thinking; he dared not delve deeper for fear of falling into madness.

It's like asking a low-level cultivator at the Flexible Spirit stage to comprehend techniques meant for the Core Formation realm—his mind and soul would surely be overwhelmed.

The principle is similar.

Though Lin Xuan didn't dare think further, these experiences were deeply etched in his soul. Once he advanced through tribulation, recalling today's insights would prove invaluable.

In fact, even without waiting for tribulation, this jumbled epiphany still provided significant benefits to various aspects of his cultivation.

After all, it was the true essence of a primordial body that transformed this space into its primordial state, allowing him to experience the mysteries of the universe. How many cultivators could have such opportunities?

The pain subsided, and Lin Xuan discovered a spiritual spring in his sea of consciousness, flowing into his heart. It seemed as if he had gained enlightenment; his cultivation rapidly increased with the flow of this spring. His aura grew stronger, doubling within mere moments.

Previously, his second yuan婴 was only at the initial stage of focusing. Now, it inexplicably advanced to the middle stage, aligning with his main yuan婴.

The feeling was indescribable.

Such gains were unexpected.

Just a small epiphany, just a glimpse of the mysteries of the universe, and he had advanced a level. Such good fortune would be hard for anyone to believe.

However, this was due to his main yuan婴 already being at the middle stage of focusing; thus, there were no bottlenecks in advancing the second one.

Otherwise, even with such an unprecedented opportunity, it might not have been smooth sailing.

But regardless, the gains from this advancement alone justified the risk he had taken.

Lin Xuan was pleased but did not continue to delve deeper. Time was pressing, and too much probing could be detrimental at his current level. It would be wiser to stop when one sees good results.

If another cultivator were in his position, they might not have such resolve, but Lin Xuan's mind was incredibly resilient. Once he realized that further contemplation might harm him, he stopped thinking and focused on flying forward.

In this newly created environment, his divine sense was heavily suppressed. Though it wasn't entirely useless, with his strong divine sense, he could only probe a hundred feet or so in front of him.

Beyond that, everything became blurry.

His vision was the same.

As expected, the more he flew, the stronger the mysterious stray energy became. While not threatening to Lin Xuan directly, repelling them required considerable effort and time.

In just a few hundred miles, under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan could have probed every detail with his divine sense in mere moments.

But now, it took nearly half an hour of effort for no other gains besides the epiphany and advancement.

He hadn't found the golden jade true toad or the traces of Fairy Hundred Flowers. Could they both have perished in that massive explosion, leaving not a trace?

Such a result was entirely possible; after all, the explosion's power had been immense. Their remains being destroyed wasn't surprising.

But what about Fairy Hundred Flowers' storage bag? Had it also been destroyed?

Thinking this, Lin Xuan felt extremely disappointed. Although he had already achieved significant gains on this trip, they fell short of his expectations compared to his initial goals. Advancing was one thing, but the treasures belonging to those great existences were more important.

It didn't matter if he couldn't find true spirit materials; losing Fairy Hundred Flowers' storage bag was unacceptable.

Lin Xuan refused to give up and continued probing cautiously, not missing any corner of this void-like space.

But there was no success.

Another cup of tea passed. Lin Xuan thoroughly searched the area but found nothing. Just as he was about to despair, suddenly, he turned his head and discovered something that surprised him greatly.
