At the very center of the top of the altar, a perfectly round, flawless, radiant, warm and substantial primordial pearl floats silently.
The divine pearl emanates a vast and boundless aura of the water element, drawing in all the spiritual energy of the water element from within a radius of ten thousand miles, circulating endlessly and eternally.
Layers of water ripples and Daoist charm enveloped the entire secret realm, suppressing the ancient Cangming and stabilizing the entire ancient abyss space. This is the core origin and eternal heart of the Cangming Ancient Abyss.
“The true origin of the ancient water system, the divine pearl of the vast sea.”
David’s eyes brightened slightly as he softly uttered the true name of the treasure.
“This is the core treasure of the secret realm, formed when the ancient supreme god of the water system perished, having exhausted his life’s Dao fruits, original cultivation, divine soul foundation, and the accumulation of the Heavenly Dao.”
It contains the complete and flawless ancient laws of the water system, capable of suppressing all waters, ruling the vast ocean, refining the foundation of one’s Dao, reshaping one’s origin, purifying water-based spiritual power, and amplifying water-based supernatural abilities.
“With this pearl in hand, all the laws of the heavens and waters will be under my control. All water-based techniques, supernatural powers, secret arts, and Daoist principles will be fully integrated and crushed by my peers. No one in the same rank can contend with me in terms of water-based Dao principles.”
“Moreover, sealed within the divine pearl is the supreme cultivation technique ‘Ten Thousand Waters Vast Ocean Technique,’ which was cultivated throughout the life of an ancient water-based true god, along with countless water-based killing techniques, methods for deducing secret realms, and insights into the Dao of Heaven. Its value is immeasurable.”
Without needing to probe further or break any restrictions, David simply raised his hand and made a grasping motion in mid-air.
Buzz—!!!
A towering azure light shot into the sky, sweeping across the airspace. In an instant, the Azure Sea Divine Pearl broke free from its ancient seal and the shackles of the divine altar. Gentle and flawless, with its spiritual light contained, it landed steadily in David’s palm, instantly recognizing its master, binding itself to its origin, and returning its soul to its source, completely belonging to him.
In an instant, the vast, pure, and flawless power of the ancient water system surged into David’s meridians, dantian, spirit, and limbs like a raging river and a cascading waterfall.
At the same time, countless obscure and ancient divine texts, profound principles of cultivation techniques, essence of secret arts, true meanings of laws, and insights into the Dao of Heaven flooded into his mind and soul like a tide, instantly merging and comprehending them all, achieving perfection in one step without needing to ponder them.
The perfect foundation of the fifth rank of the Great Luo has been refined, condensed to the extreme, and sublimated a second time.
His body was surrounded by the perfect and flawless Daoist aura of water, reaching the pinnacle of perfection. The thickness of his spiritual power, the purity of his origin, and his control over the laws increased several times over, resulting in a leapfrog improvement in his overall combat power.
“Many thanks to our ancient predecessors for their timeless legacy.”
David nodded slightly and bowed deeply to the ancient altar, expressing his gratitude for the eternal inheritance and the virtue of creation.
Just as he acquired the divine pearl, completed the inheritance, and returned to the Dao, David’s vast and boundless divine soul suddenly detected a highly subtle high-dimensional spatial fluctuation that spanned countless ages and pierced through all the heavens.
This fluctuation was extremely faint, extremely ancient, and extremely ethereal. It did not belong to the local spatial laws of the Twenty-Five Heavens at all. Its level far exceeded the current system of heavens and it was faintly connected to the unknown world of higher dimensions and the territory of heavens of higher levels.
David’s gaze suddenly deepened, his mind focused slightly, and he fully expanded his spiritual power to trace the source and investigate, following this ancient fluctuation to find the origin.
The next instant, a vast and boundless panorama of the heavens was reflected in his mind and spirit.
Within the scene, the small celestial realm is as insignificant as dust and as humble as an ant.
Above it, layers upon layers of higher heavens stretch out endlessly, shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding a majestic Daoist aura, boundless power, and infinite creation—a vast world completely beyond our current understanding.
In the deepest void crevice of the Cangming Ancient Abyss, in the forbidden zone of eternity, lies a gate to the myriad realms, sealed by the Heavenly Dao, buried by the dust of time, and forgotten by the world.
The gate is thick and ancient, shrouded in mist, sealed by Dao patterns, and has stood for millennia. Above the gate, four mottled and ancient seal characters, engraved with the secrets of the heavens, faintly emerge – Tongtian Gate.
The image flashed, the fluctuations vanished, and the scene disappeared, as if it had never appeared or existed, elusive and impossible to capture.
But David already knew the truth and understood the secret perfectly.
The entire Celestial Realm is actually just a tiny place in the universe.
Moreover, it seems that the celestial realm in the past did not have the so-called thirty-six heavens, nor did it have so many celestial laws.
In ancient times, the celestial realm was complete, with interconnected levels and vertical connections, allowing for free movement without any additional conditions.
Just like in the secular world, in rural areas and cities, even people from small mountain villages can easily take a car to big cities without anyone stopping them.
Whether they can survive in big cities is nobody else’s concern.
