Chapter 971: Chapter 753: Transcending the Self, the Ultimate Foundation

After feeling that voice, Qin An slightly furrowed his brow, revealing a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected to receive such an answer.

But what exactly does this answer mean?

He couldn’t quite grasp it.

However, as Qin An furrowed his brow, he was also pondering the meaning of this sentence.

What does it mean that everything is false?

What does it mean that the place they live in is shrouded in mist?

All of this brought him a feeling he had never experienced before.

Could it be that besides those Heavenly Demons, there are other unknown secrets in this world?

And this Selfless Realm cultivator who left the message seemed to have seen through some secrets.

But even though Qin An knew some clues, the voice seemed to suddenly encounter an obstruction, stopping without conveying any more information.

Qin An fell silent, feeling that the voice was getting farther away, leaving no trace or clue to be found.

In other words, the clues Qin An had now were all he was going to get.

After falling into contemplation, the river of origin continued to flow forward.

However, he only spent a little time pondering before quickly coming out of his contemplation.

He stopped thinking about the reason because, for him, these clues couldn’t deduce anything concrete.

Furthermore, not being able to deduce anything would only lead to his frustration.

Instead of wasting time here, it was better to seek a new Supreme Essence and forge it.

That way, he could quickly elevate his strength to the Selfless Realm to contend with the attacks of the Heavenly Demons.

Thinking of this, Qin An stopped overthinking and then released his consciousness.

Soon, his consciousness left the river constructed by origins and returned to his body.

With the withdrawal of his consciousness, Qin An slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the dense forest here, then swiftly headed towards the last location mentioned by Emperor Xuanwu.

...

The final place, named the Ten Thousand Thunder River, is where the Supreme Essence is forged, and it was quite far from Qin An’s current location.

But with Qin An’s speed, it didn’t take him much time to reach this place.

The reason why it’s called the Ten Thousand Thunder River is indeed related to its own characteristics.

Here, there is no river water, and it’s not on the ground but high above in the vast sky.

This place is eternally covered by thunderstorms, with thunders raging so overwhelmingly that they resemble a river crossing the sky, hence the name Ten Thousand Thunder River.

Moreover, this place known as the Ten Thousand Thunder River flows with the power of Celestial Thunder all year long, so strong that even Celestial Human Realm experts would be severely injured by the lightning here, not daring to venture deep into this place.

At this moment, after reaching the perimeter of the Ten Thousand Thunder River, Qin An looked at the roaring lightning ahead, which surged forward like a river.

Even he felt an immense pressure.

Strong, incredibly strong!

The power of this lightning was the purest Power of Destruction in the world, and he couldn’t even guarantee whether his Dharma Aspect could withstand it.

Furthermore, even from this outer position, he could still sense a heavy pressure.

This proved that the Ten Thousand Thunder River before him was extremely dangerous for him.

However, after a brief contemplation, Qin An took a deep breath and made up his mind.

No matter how dangerous it could be, so what?

He had already reached this point; regardless of how perilous the place, he had to give it a try, or else he would regret it.

Qin An made his decision.

After all, only by forging the Supreme Essence could he have the strongest foundation, and with such a foundation, after stepping into the Selfless Realm, he could become an exceedingly powerful being in that realm.

Thinking of this, Qin An took a deep breath, then invoked the Void Essence within himself, transforming it into a terrifying Dharma Aspect around him.

And when he manifested this Dharma Aspect, he stepped into the region of the Ten Thousand Thunder River.

But as soon as he stepped in, the lightning flowing in the sky like a river seemed to sense the presence of an intruder, immediately releasing an ultimate oppressive force.

When this pressure was transmitted, the lightning swiftly condensed together, striking fiercely at Qin An.

This was merely an appetizer, yet when the lightning struck Qin An’s Dharma Aspect, the Aspect shook violently, as if it was about to shatter any moment.

Qin An immediately sensed danger.

He looked up at the raging lightning of the Ten Thousand Thunder River and quickly turned to leave the area.

And as soon as Qin An left the region of the Ten Thousand Thunder River, the lightning in the sky lost its target, instantly calming down completely.

Seeing this situation, Qin An’s eyes reflected not only solemnity but also a hint of surprise.

That was just a probe, not with much power, yet even this test almost trapped him here.

He could feel that the Dharma Aspect surrounding him had become extremely fragile, as if a mere breeze could scatter it into ashes.

Such fragility instilled caution in Qin An’s heart.

This didn’t mean his Dharma Aspect was weak; on the contrary, even a thin layer of it was enough to resist attacks from the Celestial Human Realm.

But in front of the power of Celestial Thunder, this Dharma Aspect appeared so small.

Qin An finally understood why even strong beings of the Celestial Human Realm dared not forge the Supreme Essence here.

If in the previous two places there were still ways to be attempted, then in this third place, there were only four words: certain death.
