142: The source of all laws, the opportunity to break through realms.

A conversation at Quiet Heart Studio allowed Lin Xuan to clearly define his future path and sense of urgency. He returned to Ziyun Valley and immediately informed Su Wanqing, Qu Feiyan, and Gongsun Yu of Gu Qingqing's words (omitting some core secrets). Upon hearing the truth about the 'Return to the Ruins' devouring the true self, the Three women's faces turned pale, and then their eyes ignited with the same determination as Lin Xuan's.

"We must become stronger!" This was the common belief in the hearts of the four.

However, once one reaches the Golden Core Stage, every step of improvement is incredibly difficult, requiring not only vast resources but also Opportunity and enlightenment. Ordinary secluded cultivation, within the urgent timeframe of three to ten years, was clearly far from enough.

Just as Lin Xuan was pondering how to find an Opportunity for rapid Breakthrough, Gu Qingqing's message arrived again, like a timely rain.

"In the extreme northern region, there are recent signs of the ancient battlefield relic, the 'Myriad Laws Abyss', appearing. This place was a battleground for multiple ancient races, where Laws are chaotic, energy is violent, and space is fragile, making survival a narrow escape. However, within the crisis lies endless Opportunity; various shattered Law fragments, Legacy imprints of fallen powerhouses, and even the Origin Qi from the primordial era might manifest here. For you, it might be an Opportunity for Breakthrough."

Myriad Laws Abyss!

Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened, and he immediately pulled up the System map and database. Records about the Myriad Laws Abyss were extremely scarce, but the existing information all pointed to its extreme danger and unpredictable Opportunity. It was said that a Cultivator once obtained a trace of shattered flame Law within it, and from then on, their fire control techniques reached the pinnacle; others were torn to shreds by chaotic spatial cracks, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"Go!" Su Wanqing's words were concise, her icy eyes showing no hesitation. She needed more refined Taiyin Power and combat to hone her newly Awakened Bloodline.

"Sounds exciting, this big sister likes it!" Qu Feiyan licked her red lips, her seductive eyes gleaming with excitement and challenge. Her Demonic Technique required being on the brink of life and death to advance more quickly.

"I... I'll go too! I won't hold you back!" Gongsun Yu clenched her small fists. The Opportunity from the Thunder Emperor Palace had given her a deep foundation, and she precisely needed such an extreme environment to stimulate her potential and charge towards the Mid-stage Golden Core.

With their opinions unified, the four no longer hesitated. After a brief preparation, they quietly left the Qinglan Sect and rode a very fast cloud piercing shuttle, which Lin Xuan had received as a System reward, speeding towards the northern region.

The further north they went, the colder the climate became, and a desolate, ancient aura permeated the world. A few days later, the cloud piercing shuttle arrived at an ice plain shrouded in endless wind and snow. Deep within the ice plain, the sky showed an abnormal distortion and gloom, with countless tiny spatial cracks faintly visible, appearing and disappearing like black lightning. That was the entrance area to the Myriad Laws Abyss.

Before even truly entering, a chaotic, violent Law storm, mixed with countless residual wills, surged towards them, causing the cloud piercing shuttle to shake violently.

"What a terrifying place..." Gongsun Yu's small face turned pale. She could feel the Lightning Spirit Root within her body trembling slightly.

"Put away the flying shuttle, we'll enter on foot." Lin Xuan decisively ordered, retrieving the cloud piercing shuttle. In such a place, a flying shuttle was too large a target and could easily be torn apart by spatial cracks or attract attacks from unknown entities.

The four circulated their magical power to protect themselves, braving the biting cold wind and Law turbulence, and stepped into this desolate land known as a Cultivator's graveyard.

Upon entering the Myriad Laws Abyss, it was as if they had entered another bizarre world. Underfoot was profound ice frozen for countless millennia, yet occasionally one could see deep pits burning with inextinguishable flames; the sky was a twisted gray, occasionally streaked with colorful Law streamers, beautiful yet deadly; their ears were filled with the wailing wind, the roar of countless resentments and wills of powerhouses who had fallen here.

"Stay close to me, don't touch anything easily!" Lin Xuan's Divine Sense was fully open, and the System was scanning the surroundings at full power, avoiding obvious spatial cracks and energy traps.

They cautiously advanced across the shattered land. From time to time, they could see fragments of broken Magic Treasure, huge unknown skeletons, and even some ancient corpses perfectly preserved in ice, indicating the fierce battles that once took place here.

After traveling about a hundred li, a strange area appeared ahead. There was no wind or snow, the ground had a glazed texture, and the air was filled with dense, conflicting Five Elements Spiritual Qi. At the center, visible Law fragments of various colors, like swimming fish, darted about.

"The Five Elements here are chaotic, but it contains a large amount of shattered Laws, perhaps a good place for enlightenment and Body Tempering," Lin Xuan analyzed, but at the same time, the System warned that the energy here was extremely unstable and could erupt at any moment.

"I'll try first!" Qu Feiyan was the most impatient. She felt that the chaotic energy here was greatly beneficial for honing her Blood Lotus Demonic Art. She let out a soft cry, blood light erupted around her, and she stepped into that area.

In an instant, countless Five Elements Spiritual Qi and Law fragments swarmed towards her like sharks smelling blood! Metal Qi sliced, fierce flames burned, weak water entangled, giant wood crushed, and thick earth suppressed! Five types of power attacked in turns, frantically impacting her protective blood light!

Qu Feiyan let out a muffled groan, her face instantly flushed, but her eyes became even more excited. The blood lotus beneath her feet spun madly, devouring and transforming these violent energies, and her aura began to become increasingly refined and fierce amidst the impact!

Seeing that Qu Feiyan was temporarily safe and gaining benefits, Su Wanqing also stepped in. The direction she chose leaned towards coldness and destruction. Her Taiyin Power unfolded, clashing and merging with the surrounding profound ice Qi and death Evil Qi. The frost silence sword autonomously floated, absorbing the shattered ice and dark Law fragments, its moon-like glow becoming deeper and colder.

Gongsun Yu gritted her teeth and rushed in, actively drawing in lightning. In an instant, the remaining lightning Law fragments in the area were attracted, and streaks of tiny Chaos Divine Thunder struck her, making her tremble all over, her skin torn and flesh lacerated. But she held her mind firm, circulated the Lightning Guiding Spirit Tempering Art, and used this external force to madly temper her Golden Core and Physical Body, launching an assault on the Bottleneck of the Mid-stage Golden Core!

Lin Xuan watched the Three women struggling in the chaotic energy yet each gaining something, and his heart settled. He did not immediately enter but guarded the periphery, while simultaneously being vigilant for potential dangers, circulating the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art, absorbing the sparse but extremely pure Chaos Qi originating from the primordial era (the broken Laws here allowed a trace of Origin to leak out), consolidating his Fifth Revolution Golden Body, and comprehending the all-encompassing sword principles contained within the Primal Beginning Sword Scripture.

However, places of Opportunity are never short of contenders.

Just as the Three women were immersed in a critical moment of Cultivation, several powerful auras, accompanied by greedy laughter, rapidly approached from afar!

"Hahaha! As expected, someone found this 'Five Elements Purgatory'! Good, saves us the trouble of searching! Hand over the Law fragments you obtained and all your treasures!"

There were five approaching individuals, all Cultivators at the Late Golden Core Stage, dressed differently, clearly a group of Loose Cultivator desperadoes who specialized in murder and robbery here. Their eyes burned as they stared at the Three women who were refining Law fragments, and Lin Xuan, who was guarding the periphery with an aura 'only' at the Late Golden Core Stage, as if they had spotted fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the five approaching figures. There was no ripple in his eyes, only a trace of cold killing intent.

"Perfect, I'll test my newly comprehended sword moves on you."

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out! And this sudden combat might just be the final catalyst to Break through the Bottleneck!
