Shi Feiyang asked Chu Feng for the True Water of Heaven and its refining method.

Chu Feng unhesitatingly brought everything out. This item was left by the Mother of Metal from Heaven, originally only twenty or thirty drops stored in a large gourd carved from a red coral root. Previously, thirteen drops had been used to help Jin Xunu shed his corporeal body and transform his form, leaving just a dozen drops.

The True Water of Heaven, as the source of all water, resides between the Innate and the Acquired. In the realm of the Innate, it became a stream of Chaotic Primordial Qi; in the realm of the Acquired, it transformed into pure water of a lake. It easily reacts with the Acquired Five Elements to transform into water of the Acquired, turning into pure water which usefulness limits to drinking and fish cultivation. Thus, although miraculous, it is virtually impossible to refine it into a Magical Treasure.

Chu Feng didn't know any other uses for it. In over four hundred years, he had never used it. Seeing Shi Feiyang wanting it, he feared Shi Feiyang might think he was insincere and gave away all that was left, kindly reminding, "The method to refine True Water is extremely time-consuming and strenuous. It requires searching extensively for the Essence Qi of Ren Gui Water and reverting it from the Acquired back to the Innate. You would neglect your proper cultivation practices, only refining this and nothing else every day. Even a hundred years of effort yields only about a dozen drops, making it a mere chicken rib."

Shi Feiyang smiled as he stored the True Water and the silk book recording the refining method, "I have a wonderful use for it."

In Chu Feng's eyes, except for helping beings like Jin Xunu transform, the True Water of Heaven had no other use and its value was far less than the Circulation God Talisman. He then earnestly requested Shi Feiyang to choose something else.

In Purple Cloud Palace, treasures abounded, mostly gold, jade, pearls, and shells, which were of no use for cultivation. Only in the North Garden were many Spiritual Medicines growing – some transplanted by the Mother of Metal from Heaven, others by the Earth Mother and subsequently by Chu Feng and his sisters, among them many over a thousand years old.

Shi Feiyang collected several plants of the thousand-year-old Rejuvenation Grass, Red Heart Repairing Broken Flower, and other precious Spiritual Medicines, temporarily transferring them into the space of the Heavenly Book Jade Box for Mo Zhui and the three little ones to take care of.

Chu Feng still felt it was too little and continuously persuaded, but Shi Feiyang firmly refused to take anything else.

At this point, he had fulfilled all the purposes of his visit to the Purple Cloud Palace. However, he didn't leave immediately but stayed for over two more months. Timing the days and waiting for the near arrival of the Winter Solstice, he then bade farewell to Chu Feng and others, leading his disciples to depart from Purple Cloud Palace toward Antarctica.

In the Antarctica of the Shushan World, billions of years ago, a meteorite mountain from the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm fell. Initially floating in space, it was later drawn by the Primordial Magnetic Qi of Antarctica to fall upon the Earth, precisely suppressing the magnetic essence outlet at the south end of the Earth Axis.

The Magnetic True Qi within the Earth Axis erupted from beneath this Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, wrapping around the fissures of the mountain. It was supposed to merge with the Sun Primordial Magnetic Qi from Long Night Island in the North Pole in the sky. Here, it mingled with the Chaos Essence Qi spilling inside the Divine Mountain, rubbing together to form the Taihuo Divine Flames, manifesting as nearly ten thousand feet high Aurora Divine Flames, forming a barrier separating the inside from the outside.

Outer Heaven Divine Mountain has three layers of barriers from the inside out. The first layer is the Mixed Essence Spirit Qi enveloping the entire mountain, creating a world of its own. The second layer is the Aurora Fire, and the outermost layer is a magnetic aura, akin to a gray misty sea fog obscuring the entire mountain. From a distance, it appears as a lead-gray swirling mist, and even those with excellent sight cannot peer within.

Shi Feiyang led his disciples, flying while explaining, "Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, perpetually bright since ancient times, only experiences a few hours of overcast weather every one million, five hundred fifty-five thousand, two hundred and one hours. The external Aurora Fire forms a magnetic angle with the horizon line, and the Yin Yang atmosphere stirs violently above the Zi Wu line, rendering it impassable for both immortals and mortals, unless one possesses a special Magical Treasure. Otherwise, one could only wait for the middle night of Winter Solstice each year, which has a relatively weaker six-hour window allowing passage."

He had timed his arrival perfectly, reaching the outer fringe of the magnetic mist right at the Hai time on the day of the Winter Solstice. He instructed everyone to hand over all possessions made of the Five Metal Treasures, including their Flying Swords. The Taiyin Qingning Fan, being a copper fan, also couldn't be used. He stored everything inside the Jade Box within his body, finally holding only the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, continuing to lead everyone forward.

"To enter Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, there are only three paths. One is via the Yin Yang restoration line here, influenced by the interactive fluctuations of the Magnetic True Qi of Yin Yang of the north and south poles, forming today's weakest gap, and this is the route we are taking. Another is near the Forty-Seven Islands of Little Antarctica, due to geological structures and Earth Qi attraction, also forming a gap, where the magnetic fog almost dissipates entirely at this time, making it the easiest path. However, the inhabitants of the Forty-Seven Islands are generally detestable and prone to complications. Besides these two, there is another under the Sunken Island in the North Pole, where the Earth Axis's positive northern outlet lies. Entering the Earth Axis there and crossing the whole Earth to emerge from the negative southern outlet leads directly inside to the Bright Realm of Outer Heaven Divine Mountain."

These disciples, not to mention inexperienced youngsters like Lin Han and Shi Sheng, even Deng Bagu, who had traveled north to south and roamed the world for hundreds of years, found it eye-opening.

The outermost magnetic mist appeared as lead-gray fog, filling the entire visible world, connecting sky and sea, swirling boundlessly, making it impossible to distinguish any boundaries, resembling the vast expanse of outer space. Upon seeing this, a sense of fear arose in everyone, making them hesitant to proceed.

Shi Feiyang swung the Jade Ruler in his hand, releasing Nine Golden Flowers – three suspended above, three supporting below, and three circling around him. He then released ten thousand feet of Hongmeng Purple Qi straight ahead into the endless magnetic fog, instantly tearing an opening in it. Due to magnetic pole induction, the upper part automatically disappeared, merging with the lower part, forming a depression a few thousand feet deep.
