Ning Fa surveyed his surroundings, finding himself in another peculiar location.
He floated in the air, enveloped by a hazy mist. The water spiritual energy here was exceptionally active, several times stronger than when he first entered the Abyssal Heavenly Pool.
Ning Fa extended his divine sense, but it could only probe about a kilometer. He could faintly hear a booming roar coming from a distance, so he flew in that direction.
After flying for hundreds of kilometers, the booming sound had become deafening. Ning Fa looked ahead with a look of shock.
Before him was an unimaginably vast waterfall, cascading from the heavens. Its origin and destination were unknown, and its boundaries were impossible to discern. The immense roaring sound of water emanated from it.
Just then, Ning Fa's expression shifted. He felt his Primordial Realm Pearl stir again, and with much greater intensity than when he first entered the Abyssal Heavenly Pool.
"Could the thing attracting the Primordial Realm Pearl be here?" Ning Fa murmured to himself, a hint of joy in his eyes.
But the surprise on his face quickly faded, replaced by a furrowed brow and a hint of suspicion.
"My luck seems a bit too good. Am I truly blessed with fortune?"
If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but for it to happen three times in a row made Ning Fa feel that something was amiss.
With this thought, he immediately activated his Moon God Heart to its fullest, his eyes glowing with a faint moonlight. He carefully scanned his surroundings.
However, nearby, there was nothing but dense mist.
Ning Fa remained in place, his expression fluctuating. He even had the urge to abandon this spiritual realm and choose another, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
No matter what, the Primordial Realm Pearl was extremely important to him. It was the key to whether he could ascend to the upper realm in the future.
Although he already possessed the Sun True Fire, and even the nascent form of the Tai Yin True Fire.
Once the Tai Yin True Fire became complete, he could use the two fires to evolve Yin and Yang within the Primordial Realm Pearl.
However, advancing the nascent form of the Tai Yin True Fire to its complete state was no simple matter.
Just looking at how long Yan Yuan Daoist had planned, only to obtain that wisp of nascent Tai Yin Fire, was evident enough.
Now that something here was attracting the Primordial Realm Pearl, perhaps that item could accelerate its evolution. Regardless, he had to go and see.
Ning Fa looked upwards, believing the secret most likely lay above the waterfall, at its source.
He didn't rush forward. Instead, with a flick of his finger, a faint, tiny blue star flew unobtrusively from his fingertip and then disappeared.
Ning Fa then flew upwards.
However, upon reaching a certain altitude, a special water curtain enveloped him, exerting immense pressure and slowing his speed.
Eventually, even his Divine Firmament Manifestation struggled to withstand it.
He had no choice but to stop, looking at the thin water curtain around him with surprise.
He had tried various methods, but in this peculiar environment, he couldn't break it.
At the same time, a hazy spiritual light could be vaguely seen above.
That seemed to be the source of this peculiar waterfall, and the surrounding water spiritual energy was indescribably dense.
Ning Fa had an epiphany. He then withdrew his Divine Firmament Manifestation and transformed into a black lightning bolt, radiating an aura of extreme Yin and coldness.
He had become the Supreme Water Divine Thunder.
Immediately, the peculiar water curtain outside Ning Fa's body merged into the lightning he had become, disappearing. The immense force also dissipated.
Then, the black lightning bolt shot upwards at an extremely high speed. With just a few flashes, it reached the top of the waterfall. With a flash of lightning, Ning Fa reappeared.
He gazed at the scene before him with sharp eyes.
It was an island only a few kilometers in size. At its center was a spring, from which countless streams of water poured out, flowing outwards. This was clearly the source of the waterfall.
Ning Fa immediately looked above the spring.
He saw a water bead suspended there.
Looking at this water bead, Ning Fa was first confused, then his eyes widened in shock.
This water bead displayed a color that defied description. At times it was a deep blue that encompassed all things, at times a pure white that purified all, and at times a transparent hue that reflected the heavens.
It was only about the size of a thumb, but it felt heavier and vaster than the entire Heavenly Pool, or even the entire world.
"What is this thing?"
Ning Fa was utterly astonished. Clearly, this water bead was the secret of this place.
Ning Fa flipped his right hand and took out a gray stone bead – the Primordial Realm Pearl.
It was now leaping and vibrating, its agitation several times stronger than before. It was clear that this water bead was what was attracting it.
Meanwhile, in another mysterious location.
A mysterious woman stood gracefully. Before her, a water mirror floated, displaying Ning Fa's image.
She raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, and said in an inexplicable tone:
"He indeed possesses a Primordial Realm Pearl, and it seems to be even more mature than the one Ling Yuqing possesses.
With this, it is truly confirmed that this person possesses the Five Elements Thunder Body, the Star Roaming Compass, and even this Primordial Realm Pearl…
Is he truly the most suitable candidate?
Master, did you foresee all of this long ago?"
"It seems I really need to change my plan. He's a more suitable candidate, so there's no harm in giving him this drop of Essence of World Origin."
Just then, the mysterious woman's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had seen something incredibly shocking. She couldn't help but lean closer to the Water Mirror, wanting to see clearly.
Meanwhile, Ning Fa was also utterly shocked.
He suddenly felt that in addition to the Primordial Realm Pearl, the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book in his sea of consciousness had also begun to stir violently.
The intensity of the disturbance was even greater than when he encountered the mysterious White Fragment in the Nine Divisions World-Suppressing Pagoda. It was clear this was also because of this drop of water.
This time, Ning Fa was truly stunned on the spot.
"What is going on?"
The Heavenly Book was actually so interested in this drop of water!
Before Ning Fa could even activate it, the Heavenly Book flashed with white light and manifested itself automatically.
Its surface flickered intensely with white light, and in the next moment, the mysterious drop of water suspended above the spring's source flew towards it uncontrollably.
On the other side, from the mysterious woman's perspective.
She only felt a terrifying aura suddenly emanate from Ning Fa, posing an indescribable threat to her special being.
Then she saw the drop of Essence of World Origin fly towards Ning Fa without her permission and uncontrollably.
From her perspective, the Heavenly Book was nowhere to be seen.
Shocked, the mysterious woman immediately formed a profound Hand Seal with both hands.
At the same time, a layer of transparent Runes began to appear around the mysterious water drop, blocking it from flying further towards the Heavenly Book.
But the white light on the Heavenly Book's surface flashed violently, and in an instant, it forcibly absorbed the drop of water.
"Ah!" The mysterious woman let out a scream, and the Water Mirror in front of her exploded with a bang!
The mysterious woman spat out a mouthful of pale blue blood, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and fear.
"What terrifying thing was that just now? And who exactly is this Ning Fa?"
The mysterious woman's voice echoed in the space, but there was no answer.
On the other side, Ning Fa looked in front of him with a stunned expression.
The Heavenly Book was now emitting intense light, and for a moment, he had lost his spiritual connection with it.
However, this had happened once before, so Ning Fa was not worried.
Instead, Ning Fa felt a strong sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
Just as the Heavenly Book reacted, he suddenly felt an inexplicable gaze upon him.
This made him immediately realize that his appearance here was not an accident, and the same was true for the previous two spiritual realms.
It seemed that a mysterious figure was arranging all of this behind the scenes.
Ning Fa's thoughts raced as he considered many possibilities. He guessed that the other party had likely sensed the Primordial Realm Pearl on him, and therefore led him to this special place.
It seemed they wanted his Primordial Realm Pearl to absorb the drop of water that could clearly promote its evolution, but the Heavenly Book had interfered.
Cold sweat broke out on Ning Fa's back. Although he had gained immense benefits from the previous two spiritual realms, he intensely disliked the feeling of being manipulated and arranged.
Furthermore, he believed that nothing good came for free, and the other party's actions likely had some ulterior motive.
Ning Fa felt fortunate that the Heavenly Book's appearance had probably disrupted the other party's plans.
Moreover, he could sense the other party's presence through the Heavenly Book. After the Heavenly Book forcibly absorbed the drop of water, it should have caused some damage to that entity.
As for whether the other party would detect the Heavenly Book, Ning Fa was not worried.
Given the mysterious nature the Heavenly Book had displayed in the past, others would be unable to discover it at all.
Ning Fa's gaze flickered. It seemed the Abyssal Heavenly Pool was even more mysterious than he had imagined.
The key point was that he seemed to be targeted. The three spiritual realms in the second layer all appeared to offer him benefits, and they were very targeted, which made Ning Fa wonder about the other party's true purpose.
While Ning Fa was contemplating, the Heavenly Book remained shrouded in white light.
After a full three days, the white light on the Heavenly Book's surface finally disappeared.
Worried, Ning Fa immediately stepped forward to check. Soon, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Heavenly Book was intact, and his spiritual connection with it remained, even stronger than before.
Soon, Ning Fa's face lit up with surprise, because the Heavenly Book now possessed many Fourth-Tier and even Fifth-Tier Origin Points.
Currently, the Heavenly Book had four Fifth-Tier Origin Points, an increase of three.
It had thirty-seven Fourth-Tier Origin Points, an increase of thirty.
It was worth noting that the preciousness of Fourth-Tier Origin Points was indescribable; two Fourth-Tier Origin Points were enough to exchange for a Top-grade Spirit Stone.
This was equivalent to Ning Fa obtaining fifteen Top-grade Spirit Stones at once, not to mention the even more valuable Fifth-Tier Origin Points. Therefore, this was undoubtedly a colossal fortune.
