The depths of the Abyss Domain were very quiet.

Zhou Yan's heart was also very quiet.

Zhou Yan organized his cultivation insights, comprehending the benefits of the transformation of his divine body and divine soul, mastering all his progress thoroughly.

Subsequently, Zhou Yan memorized the techniques of transformation deeply, contemplating them from time to time to gain greater progress.

The Xuan Yuan sword also became stronger because of this, but the energy consumption of an immortal weapon was equally immense. The stronger the Xuan Yuan sword became, the more apparent this energy depletion became.

Zhou Yan no longer pondered any doubts. Once the essence was understood, the rest wouldn't be that important.

In his heart, Zhou Yan already had a general direction for the truth. Although the reality might differ from his conjectures, it wouldn't differ by much.

The life and death of races, the past of Ten Thousand Buddhas' Extinction and All Immortals Suffering, must not happen again.

Perhaps the past destruction was predestined, leading to the current bloodline legacy. But if the outcome can't be changed now, knowing or not knowing is fundamentally the same.

Zhou Yan reviewed all his abilities, honing his combat power to its utmost and recovering his state to its ultimate peak before he walked out of the Magic Cave of the Abyss Domain.

Upon entering, Zhou Yan needed to be cautious, concentrating and holding his breath. Upon leaving, he was very casual, transforming with a mere thought into the Speech Spirit Void Spirit.

The powerful Speech Spirit Void Spirit wandered in the Holy Spirit Barrier. Utilizing a soul split he had left in the hidden forbidden array's site, Zhou Yan had a comprehensive understanding of the distribution of heavenly demons and void spirits within the Holy Spirit Barrier.

Peacefully drifting through the Holy Spirit Barrier, Zhou Yan occasionally slashed out a sword, instantly ending the lives of heavenly demons and void spirits.

Unsurprisingly, only those void spirit crystals akin to the crystal skull fragments, appearing after refining through speech spirit methods, could be marked with a slaying imprint by the Purgatory Badge.

Otherwise, if some didn't present such fragments, those void spirits or heavenly demons wouldn't count as Yin Spirits in the task.

Zhou Yan confirmed the correctness of his previous words through this. Perhaps, the heavenly demons and void spirits on the Outer Heaven Demon Battlefield were actually species of the Mechanical Spirit Clan, rather than true void spirit races.

All this was previously unknown to the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl.

Zhou Yan sighed softly. He involuntarily recalled the prior frenzy and passion, his heart filled with inexplicable complexity, but ultimately, it only turned into a long sigh.

Now, slaying heavenly demons and void spirits posed no difficulty; the transformed techniques of transformation and powerful speech spirit methods allowed Zhou Yan to command words into reality. With a word, void spirits and heavenly demons would naturally be frozen, isolated from their groups, and then slain by Zhou Yan.

As long as their realm didn't surpass the Third Realm of Venerable, Zhou Yan could slay them in this manner.

Regarding the heavenly demons and void spirits of the Divine Ninth Realm, Zhou Yan could slay them even more effortlessly.

Thus, in just half a day, the task criteria were met, and Zhou Yan simultaneously refined pure void spirit crystals. The Purgatory Badge, upon detecting the situation, autonomously completed the level promotion.

From a Three-star Purgatory Refiner, Zhou Yan almost instantaneously rose to the level of an Eight-star Purgatory Refiner, indicating that regardless of quality, quantity, or speed, Zhou Yan's task completion was universally rated at an extremely high standard.

In fact, who else in this world could kill void spirits of the Divine Spirit Sixth Transition Realm and the Venerable Realm like cutting grass? How could such a promotion not be swift?

The Purgatory Badge's promotion, leaping five large stages consecutively, naturally attracted the Dark God Domain's Purgatory Palace's attention. Consequently, the Dark God Domain's headquarters issued an announcement to the entire Dark God Domain, specifically naming Purgatory Refiner Zhou Yan, who completed the task of slaying heavenly demons, void spirits, and collecting void spirit crystals, leaping from a Divine Level Three-star Purgatory Refiner to a Divine Level Eight-star Purgatory Refiner.

From the moment this was announced, it caused unimaginable sensation.

Zhou Yan, it's Zhou Yan again!

Moreover, he completed tasks that even Cutting Path Ji Wu, Luck Eternal, Heavenly Mechanism Spring and Autumn, and even some strong ones of the Venerable Realm couldn't complete!

This task, wasn't it known to the cultivators of the Dark God Domain? Precisely because they knew of the task, cultivators deeply understood its immense difficulty.

But this task was completed by Zhou Yan! What kind of defiance against heaven ability was needed!

Zhou Yan comprehended the Great Perfection of the ultimate immortal truth from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Pool, manifesting the Immortal Dao Totem in the void of the Dark God Domain, with immortal light radiating throughout the Dark God Domain, arousing astonishment.

Zhou Yan, now accomplished a task of perverse difficulty that no other cultivators could, instantly rising from Divine Level Three-star Purgatory Refiner to Divine Level Eight-star Purgatory Refiner!

What an extraordinary achievement!

What an astonishing talent!

Zhou Yan, unbeknownst to himself, became famous once more.

...

With the Purgatory Badge's level promotion, Zhou Yan finally felt some relief. However, with still ample time, Zhou Yan continued pondering the techniques of transformation, savoring the subtlety of those transformations, and proceeded leisurely.

Wenhua Palace is located at the true core hub of the Dark Divine Domain in Pure Moon Immortal City.

The vastness of Pure Moon Immortal City almost occupies about one-tenth of the Dark Divine Domain.

The Dark Divine Domain has countless cities, but a city occupying nearly one-tenth of the area shows the importance of this city.

Zhou Yan initially flew by sword, occasionally employing the Tao of Space to traverse the void, not in a hurry to travel, but more to comprehend the transformations of form and intention, gaining more insight into this path.

When Zhou Yan had been traveling like this for over ten days and was still endless distances from Pure Moon Immortal City, he suddenly awoke and began to gather his thoughts, focusing entirely on getting there.

Using his unparalleled Void Sword Body constitution, Zhou Yan deduced the spatial nodes of Pure Moon Immortal City, unleashing powerful Array Plate Energy, traversing the void. After three restless days, he finally arrived at Pure Moon Immortal City.

By this time, there were less than two days left until the final entry time for the Wenhua Palace of the Immortal City.

Upon entering Pure Moon Immortal City, Zhou Yan immediately encountered a large number of powerful cultivators, with almost the lowest realms being around Divine Spirit Third Transition, while the most numerous and densely populated realm was the Divine Spirit Seventh Transition.

When Zhou Yan appeared, he did not transform again but appeared in the city in his original likeness.

The Immortal City was vast, with ancient city walls and powerful Divine Origin Power and Soul Energy filling the air, making breathing feel comfortable and relaxed.

Walking on the bustling streets, Zhou Yan occasionally noticed cultivators casting amazed glances at him, followed by discreet pointing and murmuring, seemingly discussing some inexplicable topics.

Zhou Yan felt slightly puzzled but soon understood the reason after a slight sensing.

And knowing the reason, Zhou Yan couldn't help but smile wryly. Unexpectedly, without realizing it, Zhou Yan had gained the treatment of an extraordinary genius. As soon as he entered Pure Moon Immortal City, many cultivators recognized him, and the word spread swiftly, so that almost all the cultivators intending to enter Wenhua Palace knew about him.

Not all cultivators in Pure Moon Immortal City could enter Wenhua Palace, and living privileges in the city were distributed according to talent, as well as contributions to the Dark Divine Domain and the level of Purgatory Badge. Hence, most of the cultivators here were by no means simple.

Zhou Yan, after carefully sensing all around and understanding the bizarre thoughts of some male and female cultivators here, gradually calmed down.

Then, he paid no mind to others' whispers or furtive gestures and proceeded towards the direction of Wenhua Palace.

Traveling in this manner, Zhou Yan still exhibited powerful Void Abilities, covering almost ten thousand miles with a single step.

Yet, even so, Zhou Yan spent another half-day traversing the endless dense crowd before reaching the entrance of Wenhua Palace.

The vastness of Pure Moon Immortal City was evident.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Wenhua Palace, the palace's imposing, Forbidden City-like aura made Zhou Yan slightly moved, but he said nothing, directly passing through the pair of massive stone pillars at the entrance of Wenhua Palace.

These gigantic stone pillars were unique guardian Rune entities and Forbidden Arrays. Without a quota for Wenhua Palace, it would be impossible to pass through this place.

Only those marked with the palace's quota and imbued with its soul energy could pass through this area.

"Previously, when sensing these cultivators' thoughts, I also detected that they uniformly believed I should comprehend the totem and might cause some major commotion. If so, perhaps I'd qualify to enter the top hundred of Wenhua Palace's rankings; otherwise, I'd be considered just a nominal genius."

"After all, many cultivators outside Wenhua Palace in Pure Moon Immortal City believe that other challenges can't compare with the difficulty and significance of the Cultural Totem. If facing the Cultural Totem for the first time, I make no significant achievements, it would indicate I have an average future at Wenhua Palace, thus not gaining real cultivation support."

"Although I might not need it, to grow stronger, it would be better for Wenhua Palace's deep resources to naturally lean towards me. So, even if I can't comprehend the Cultural Totem, I must create a tremendous anomaly!"

"I had previously thought of breaking through a realm to enter Wenhua Palace, capturing attention, and showing strong Combat Power Talent. Now it seems this approach is still far from sufficient!"

"I must truly stand at the pinnacle of talent in the Dark Divine Domain!"

Zhou Yan's eyes revealed a contemplative look, and then he approached the great doors of Wenhua Palace.

Inside the great doors lay an unimaginably vast ancient hall, and above the ancient hall, the void was inscribed with fearsome totems.

These totems were the Ultimate Totem of the Twelve Forms, converging together like a form-intention Gray Dragon roaring across the Nine Heavens.

Dragon eyes blazed like two masses of the Light Divine Domain.

Dragon horns extended like Order Chains reaching up to the Law.

Dragon whiskers like an Immortal Star River.

Dragon's mouth like a terrifying Blood River Abyss.

Dragon teeth, like peerless Immortal Weapons.

This is the Cultural Totem, the ultimate secret of the Twelve Forms' ultimate understanding, an entity formed through derivation!
