Starting today, my surname will be Xiao.
Afterwards, Xiao Ning ordered the three to retrieve all the treasures of the Heavenly Court and fill the Spirit Ruins Realm with them. He also ordered the three to open the Heavenly Vein Qi in the Heavenly Court so that he could cultivate.
Celestial Qi is an incomparably precious cultivation resource in the world of immortality, comparable to the innate spiritual energy in the primordial world.
The benefits of this innate vital energy to cultivators are self-evident, and now it has all become Xiao Ning's possession.
Moreover, that primordial energy had accumulated over many chaotic eras, countless trillions of years, making it abundant.
Even though Xiao Ning needs countless times more Yuan Qi to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, it is still just a drop in the ocean compared to the total amount of Heavenly Vein Yuan Qi stored by the Heavenly Court.
Xi Huang, the Spear of Judgment, and the Spear of Revenge, enslaved by Xiao Ning, were naturally loyal to him. The three joined forces to open a spatial rift that was a thousand feet high, which connected to a mysterious space. In an instant, an intensely dense celestial energy poured out from it, filling the entire castle.
Xiao Ning let out a long roar, then immediately sat cross-legged and began to fully circulate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, absorbing the surrounding Heavenly Meridian Yuan Qi like a whale sucking water.
His mind split into several parts, simultaneously comprehending the great Dao of this world, transforming the primordial energy of the Heavenly Vein into his own magical power, and also absorbing the primordial energy of the Heavenly Vein into the Spirit Ruins Realm, turning it into his foundation.
This time, he aims to break through to the eighth level of the Profound Technique and attain the Eternal Great Luo!
If successful, he would surpass the Immortal King, rival the Supreme Shattered Realm, and become the number one person in this world.

Chapter 15 Abyss
One day, ten days, a month...
Three months, six months, a year...
Ten years, a hundred years, five thousand years...
Time flies, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.
For ten thousand years, Xiao Ning absorbed the inexhaustible primordial energy of the Heavenly Vein to improve his cultivation.
His aura became increasingly concentrated and powerful, gradually reaching a critical point.
The Emperor Xi, the Spear of Revenge, and the Spear of Judgment could not withstand the powerful aura he released and retreated to a distance of billions of miles from the ancient castle of war.
"Pop!"
With a soft sound, three flowers of different colors quietly floated out, swaying in the sky, stretching for billions of miles.
Then, five-colored pillars of energy shot into the sky, shaking the winds and clouds for hundreds of millions of miles.
Three flowers gather at the top, and five energies converge at the origin!
This is the realm of the Great Perfection of the Immortal Golden Immortal!
After countless hardships and tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, Xiao Ning finally reached this realm.
With just one final step, one can transcend the long river of time and destiny and enter the realm of Eternal Great Luo, which is also the realm of Supreme Shattering.
But I just can't take that step!
What seems like a mere stone's throw away is actually an insurmountable chasm!
It seemed as if some unseen force was preventing his breakthrough!
"Hoo... The Gate to Immortality!"
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ning exhaled a breath of stale air, a hint of regret and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that in this world shrouded by the Gate of Immortality, taking that step would be incredibly difficult.
The Gate of Immortality will never allow any living being within it to escape its control.
Those ancient immortal kings who were trapped for countless eons serve as examples.
It is very, very difficult to transcend.
...
The Bottomless Abyss, the most dangerous legendary place in the Celestial Realm, is endless and has no bottom.
Each layer of the abyss is a world, teeming with all kinds of evil spirits, and is extremely terrifying. Even a Heavenly Emperor risks perishing if he enters it.
However, at the same time, there are also many treasures in the bottomless abyss, and even divine objects spewed out from the Gate of Immortality fall into it, which is extremely tempting even for the Heavenly Lord.
For this reason, many Heavenly Lords come here to seek opportunities, and the major Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court also chose this place to refine the Thirty-Three Heavenly Treasures.
After Xiao Ning emerged from seclusion, he came from the Heavenly Court to this bottomless abyss.
As you descend deeper from the entrance, you can feel the vastness and immensity of this place. It is almost boundless, and time and space are reversed and confused. Even a celestial being would lose his way here without guidance.
However, Xiao Ning didn't care. He had already reached the peak of the Immortal Golden Immortal realm, which was comparable to the peak Immortal King of this world. His perception of the power of space and time had also reached its peak, so there was no possibility of him getting lost.
The bottomless abyss contained many dangers, such as celestial demons, filth and evil spirits, and spatial rifts. Even the Heavenly Emperor was wary of it, but he could do nothing about it.
Knowing that the Great Heavenly Lords were refining the Thirty-Three Heavenly Treasures in the Despair Plains at the deepest part of the Bottomless Abyss, Xiao Ning did not search aimlessly, but instead went straight down.
Along the way, he released his divine sense and scanned everywhere without any scruples, collecting any treasures he found.
As they ventured deeper into the distance, Xiao Ning suddenly let out a soft exclamation, revealing a strange expression. He stopped and looked towards a dimensional plane filled with the aura of flames not far away.
"That's interesting..."
Xiao Ning murmured something, then his figure flashed and he stepped into this dimensional plane.
