When Yan Xiaobao reappeared, he found himself in a strange, completely desolate world. As he looked around, he realized he was standing in the exact spot he had previously stood.
He could see giant rocks, though the main elder had already left. The entire Soul Sect could be seen around him, yet he couldn't even sense a hint of life within it. After a mont, he flew into the air for a better view of the surroundings.
"This..." The Spirit Sect looked exactly as he rembered it. However, there wasn't a single person to be seen in any of the buildings.
The sense of desolation he felt made Yan Xiaobao very nervous. Then he glanced around and realized the Heavenspan River had completely dried up, and his scalp began to tingle.
"What kind of arcane pocket is this?" He felt very uneasy, although he was not sure why. Subsequently, he headed towards the mountain peak, a place he would usually never be able to reach.
From that vantage point, he could see the entire world around him. However, everything was filled with gray fog, making it difficult to see far.
"I don't even want to consider what this ans. I suppose I'll just see if gaining enlightennt in techniques here is really easier." Suppressing his feelings of unease, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and visualized the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation.
A mont later, his eyes opened, gleaming with joy. For so reason, many things that were confusing in the outside world suddenly made sense to him here. It was as if his mind had expanded, and any thought that passed through it beca a reality!
It was strange. Almost as if all he had to do was imagine a new world, and that world would appear before him. He could hardly believe it.
He closed his eyes excitedly, imrsing himself in the enlightennt of the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation.
Ti flew by. Soon, night fell. Before Yan Xiaobao knew it, the second day ca and went. Then ca the third.
In the dead of night on the third day, Yan Xiaobao's eyes opened, shining with the light of enlightennt. In fact, if you looked closely, you would see magical symbols flickering deep within each pupil.
"The hardest part of the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation is the first step," he murmured. "The water from the Spirit River is like a teor falling into the mortal realm. Flesh becos the thread supporting the star. The body becos a heaven, with stars within, never falling!" He waved his right hand, causing a jade bottle to fly out from his satchel.
The bottle opened, and a drop of golden water from the Heavenspan River floated out, being the only color in the gray world around him.
He hesitated for a mont at the water before gritting his teeth.
"Anything capable of living forever! Anything can enter the Heavenspan Haii!" He took a deep breath as the golden river water dropped onto his forehead.
Once it touched his skin, intense pain erupted. His flesh and blood felt as if they were lting, and he shuddered violently. Grinding his teeth, he rotated his cultivation base and employed his nine spiritual oceans with the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation to try to absorb the water's power.
A rumbling sound filled his ears, and the golden liquid began to slowly rge into his forehead. After an uncertain period, he let out a mighty roar. Within him, the golden liquid utterly disregarded his Qi Paths, flesh, and blood as it sank deep within.
It was like water from the spirit river falling like a teor into the Human world.
As it moved through him, all of his Qi Paths and flesh lted, even his internal organs were wounded. His bones scread in agony, making his face pale as blood seeped from his mouth.
Yet he just clenched his jaw and disregarded his lting, destroyed Qi Paths and flesh. Instead, he sent his internal spiritual energy coursing through them, spreading throughout his body like threads wrapping around the golden river water. This was nothing less than flesh becoming the thread supporting the star.
Most of the threads were destroyed, but as they continued to spread, many of them managed to wrap madly around the golden river water.
When the golden river water flowed into Yan Xiaobao's Dantian Region, his eyes suddenly flashed brightly.
"The body becos a heaven, with stars within, never falling!"
As his nine spiritual oceans burst forth with the power of 9 Tideflows, a rumbling sound could be heard as they slamd into the golden liquid, as if trying to destroy it. However, the liquid rapidly pierced into the ninth spiritual ocean, then the eighth, the seventh....
As that happened, the spiritual oceans rapidly transford into countless spiritual threads, wrapping around the golden river water.
After piercing through the eight spiritual oceans, the golden liquid was completely bound by the spiritual threads, and then it slowly stopped, suspended above the first spiritual sea!
At that mont, it began radiating endless golden light that exploded out to fill Yan Xiaobao's entire body. It spread everywhere, healing everything in its path, including his spiritual oceans, Qi Paths, flesh, bones, and everything else. At the sa ti, everything began to transform.
Yan Xiaobao's aura erupted. Despite still being in the early Foundation establishnt stage, it was completely different than before. Previously, he appeared impressive from the outside, but the truth was that his Foundation establishnt power was in a chaotic state, like an army with no general. But now, after gaining enlightennt of the Violet Qi Sea Cloud Leveling Spell, that general had appeared, and all his spiritual power was now in unison. As a result, his combat power was completely different than before. Yan Xiaobao's aura erupted. Despite still being in the early Foundation establishnt stage, it was completely different than before.

His eyes opened, and the magical symbols in his pupils were clearer than before. Gradually, they disappeared, while at the sa ti, the golden liquid within him began rging into his first spiritual sea.
At so point in the future, when the golden liquid was fully absorbed, he would have successfully completed Level 1 of cultivating the Violet Qi Sea Cloud Spell.
It was at this point that Yan Xiaobao's forehead suddenly throbbed with splitting pain. There was also an itchy sensation, as an eye gradually began to form at that location, seeming to be on the brink of opening.
This was his Heavenspan Dharma Eye!
"It worked!" he exclaid joyfully. He reached up to touch his forehead, finding the itchiness growing more pronounced. However, he didn't panic; instead, he was overjoyed.
"Hahaha!" He laughed, nearly jumping up and down. "From now on, I'll have three eyes. Even just saying it sounds amazing!" Then he looked into the distance, taking a deep breath.
"It's still developing, but perhaps I can test it out a bit." After a mont's hesitation, he closed his eyes. His first spiritual ocean began to deplete, with drops of golden river water emitting flickering golden light, passing through his Qi Paths and converging on his forehead.
At that mont, the recently stabilized gap suddenly opened, revealing a violet eye. His gaze pierced through the fog in an instant, seeing sothing.
When he realized that beyond the mist lay not land, but an almost completely dry ocean, a shiver ran through him. Spirit Stream Sect was an island floating in the air, with countless other islands far away!
Bolts of lightning crackled between the ocean and various islands.
He wanted to inspect the scene further, but the pain in his forehead was too intense. Blood began to seep out as the gap on his forehead sealed shut. Just like that, his two eyes opened, sending shivers through him as his spiritual power had been half exhausted.
"What kind of arcane pocket is this?" he thought, panting heavily. Yan Xiaobao found it utterly bizarre, unable to fathom where he was.
After a while, he decided to stop contemplating the fog and whatever else. Taking a deep breath, he gradually cald down.
"I suppose it doesn't matter. One thing is certain: my rate of enlightennt is incredible. I can truly benefit from this." Shaking his head, he completely quelled the shock within him.
"No wonder they allocate ti here. Even hourly allocations make sense. Every day here is considered an opportunity for major gains by any cultivator." Suddenly, he felt a sense of urgency replace it. He had spent three days on the Violet Qi Heavenspan Incantation, which ant he had five days left.
