Above the seven vortexes, there was a special spiritual mark.
As Ning Fa's spiritual sense swept over these spiritual marks, special prompts appeared in his mind.
"Spirit Realm One: Trial participants have a chance to obtain Supreme Taiyi Divine Water."
"Spirit Realm Two: Trial participants have a chance to obtain Soul Nurturing Divine Spring."
"Spirit Realm Three: Myriad Spirit True Liquid."
"Spirit Realm Four: Primordial Origin Fruit."
Each of these spiritual materials listed was so precious that even Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Spirit Transformation cultivators, would be overjoyed.
Even in the ancient era, when spiritual material resources were exceptionally abundant, such spiritual materials were considered legendary.
For instance, the Supreme Taiyi Divine Water was the Innate Water Elemental Essence, an unparalleled treasure for cultivators who primarily used the Water Attribute.
Refining it personally would not only lead to significant advancements in cultivation but also greatly enhance one's aptitude.
For cultivators with a Postnatal Water Attribute Spiritual Body, it was even possible to awaken an Innate Dao Body because of it.
It could also be refined into one's Natal Magic Treasure, giving it the potential to advance into a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.
Then there was the Myriad Spirit True Liquid.
Ancient texts recorded that this material was refined from the vital blood of tens of thousands of high-level Heaven and Earth Spirit Beasts using a special secret method.
This was also an unparalleled spiritual material for Body Cultivators, and its value was even more ineffable for the Demon Race.
This precious spiritual material had a high chance of improving the bloodline rank of the Demon Race, and there was even a certain probability of ancestral reversion, meaning they could obtain the Innate Divine Abilities of some powerful spirit beasts from their bloodline source.
And the Primordial Origin Fruit, its preciousness even surpassed that of the other spiritual materials.
As long as it was refined, it could form a special Primordial Origin Dao Qi within the body.
Before this Primordial Origin Dao Qi was fully digested, cultivators would receive unimaginable buffs during their cultivation, and some realm bottlenecks would be greatly weakened.
As for the other three spiritual materials, Ning Fa didn't even recognize two of them. However, judging by the fact that they were displayed here, they were definitely of the same caliber of preciousness.
To Ning Fa's relief, the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring was indeed on this third level.
But then he looked at the first vortex with regret.
The Supreme Taiyi Divine Water was also extremely precious to him. If he could absorb it, his Supreme Water Divine Thunder would definitely receive an unimaginable boost.
However, the problem was that this Supreme Taiyi Divine Water was like the Innate Thunder Essence he had obtained before.
He could only absorb and refine it after his Supreme Water Divine Thunder broke through to the Innate realm. Even if he obtained it now, it wouldn't help him break through to the Innate realm.
In this case, Ning Fa no longer had to struggle; he would definitely choose the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring.
Ning Fa looked at the other vortexes. Although his eyes lit up with desire, he could only shake his head regretfully.
It seemed that he could only participate in one Spirit Realm on this third level.
With this thought, Ning Fa no longer hesitated. With a flash of inspiration, he flew towards the second vortex.
However, with a "bang," Ning Fa was blocked by the misty energy on the surface of the vortex.
Ning Fa was startled and couldn't help but examine the other six vortexes. He saw that they were also covered in misty vapor.
"Could it be that I arrived too early and it's not yet time for this third-level Spirit Realm to open?"
This thought occurred to Ning Fa, and he couldn't help but feel that things were not good.
If that were the case, it would be very disadvantageous.
Not only would he lose his first-mover advantage, but more troublingly, if he had to wait longer, and cultivators from the Sea Race, Demon Race, and Tianli also arrived at the third level, wouldn't he have to face a siege?
He no longer had the advantage of the previous Spirit Realm. Even though Ning Fa was confident in his strength, and the Heavenly Book now had the ability to imprint true forms, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to think he could contend against the combined forces of so many powerful individuals.
Ning Fa's expression flickered. After waiting for a while longer and finding that he still couldn't enter the Spirit Realm, he made up his mind.
With a flip of his right hand, a special talisman emitting a faint white light appeared. Mysterious spiritual runes were imprinted on its surface.
This was a Spirit Transformation Talisman that Ning Fa had spent a considerable price to refine, and he decided to use it now.
However, before using it, he first communicated with the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book through his spiritual connection.
Soon, the phantom image of this talisman appeared within the True Form Imprint rune, and its true form was imprinted.
Ning Fa did this as a precaution. Anyway, as long as he didn't revert it, it wouldn't consume Origin Points.
After Ning Fa crushed the talisman, a misty white spiritual light enveloped him. When the spiritual light dissipated, Ning Fa had completely disappeared.
Ning Fa looked at himself with surprise. Although he could observe his body, he could clearly feel that he was in a special state of incorporeality.
He tested it carefully and found that he could still use his magic power, as long as it did not exceed a certain limit. Otherwise, the invisibility effect of the Spirit Transformation Talisman would disappear.
Furthermore, the Spirit Transformation Talisman was not a one-time use item. Like a Talisman Treasure, it could be used continuously until its power was exhausted.
With this, Ning Fa felt relieved and flew to a corner of the third level, waiting patiently.
After two days, the first person to arrive at the third level, besides Ning Fa, finally appeared.
And Ning Fa happened to know this person, it was Lu Caifu from the Qianyuan Merchant Alliance.
She, who always had exquisite makeup and an excellent demeanor, now appeared somewhat disheveled. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn in several places, revealing her fair skin. She looked as if she had narrowly escaped danger.
Ning Fa, hiding to the side, inwardly cursed his misfortune, but his eyes never left her. It wasn't out of lust; he merely wanted to test the power of the Spirit Transformation Talisman and see if she could detect his presence.
Lu Caifu let out a long sigh of relief. After surveying her surroundings, a white light flashed around her, and she was suddenly wearing a completely new set of clothes, regaining her previous charming and alluring appearance.
With a flip of her right hand, she produced a crimson fruit that pulsed like a beating heart. A smile touched her rosy lips before she put it away and flew towards the seven swirling vortexes ahead.
Soon, like Ning Fa, her face was filled with shock and excitement.
Her eyes were fixed on the first vortex, and she murmured excitedly, "Supreme Taiyi Divine Water! To think such a divine item exists here, this is truly wonderful!"
Saying this, she flew towards it but was repelled, returning empty-handed.
The woman tried a few more times but had to give up. Finally, with a furrowed brow, she waited on the side.
A little more than half a day later, the second person appeared, it was Ying Zhen of the Nine Immortals Association.
He looked at Lu Caifu, who had appeared earlier, his expression darkened, and he snorted, seemingly at odds with her.
Lu Caifu pretended not to see him, closing her eyes and sitting cross-legged.
Shortly after, more people arrived on the third level. Within a few days, about fifty people had gathered there.
At this point, the fifteen-day deadline for the second round had also arrived. This indicated that out of the more than two hundred cultivators who entered the Abyssal Heavenly Pool, only about twenty to thirty percent had reached the third level.
The elimination rate was undeniably high. It was unknown whether those who hadn't arrived had perished in the Spiritual Realms or had been teleported out for failing to meet the standards.
In a corner of the third level's edge, Ning Fa remained quietly. As expected, no one else discovered his presence.
He spotted Hermit Xuyuan, Xu Yi, Lin Qingyi, and other Cangyuan Cultivators among the crowd.
There were also the three Great Cultivators from Tianli: Ling Yuqing, Su Rihe, and Mei Danlun. Currently, they were the only Tianli Cultivators present.
However, the number of cultivators from the Sea Race and the Demon Race was still considerable, totaling over ten people.
Between the two groups, Feng Zhao, Jin Yao, Yuan Gang, and other Demonic Beast cultivators looked at the third vortex with unconcealed joy. That vortex contained the Myriad Spirit True Liquid.
This was understandable, as the Myriad Spirit True Liquid held an unparalleled attraction for them, being Demonic Beasts.
The Sea Race cultivators were also extremely excited as they gazed at the first vortex. The Supreme Taiyi Divine Water was an ultimate spiritual item for their race as well.
Seeing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but lament the missed opportunity.
If the Spiritual Realms on the third level allowed multiple visits, and if he could obtain the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring smoothly and quickly, he could then visit these two Spiritual Realms and use the Spirit Transformation Talisman to trick them again.
There were also five or six cultivators from the Rakshasa Immortal Realm who had reached the third level. Judging by the powerful auras they exuded, they were clearly all at least High-level Great Cultivators.
At this moment, they were all looking with great excitement at the sixth Spiritual Realm, which offered a spiritual material called Demonic Spirit Sin Cloud.
Although Ning Fa didn't know what it was, judging by the expressions of these Demonic Cultivators, it was undoubtedly a supreme treasure of the Demonic Path.
With so many top experts gathered here, some might have encountered each other in previous Spiritual Realms and harbored grudges, intending to act.
However, dangerous spiritual lights soon flashed from above, indicating that fighting was not permitted outside the Spiritual Realms. These cultivators could only suppress their intentions.
Seeing this, Ning Fa did not regret using the Spirit Transformation Talisman.
Even if there was a barrier outside the Spiritual Realms prohibiting mutual combat, if he had entered the second Spiritual Realm and been seen by others, he might have faced a situation where he was ganged up on.
Ning Fa didn't believe he would be so lucky again, especially without the ability to control those strange Black Jellyfish.
Ning Fa also spotted Ning Daozhen, Dan Hongzi, and Xiao Han, which brought him a slight sense of relief.
It wasn't that he was counting on teaming up with these three. The key was that he had an agreement with Ning Daozhen: only after Ning Fa obtained the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring would Ning Daozhen teach him the special secret method for cultivating the Primordial Soul True Spirit using it.
This secret method wasn't what Ning Fa needed. After all, he planned to use the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring to cultivate the Moon Soul Crystal Core. This secret method was intended for Zhu Lingyun.
Ning Fa found it somewhat strange. Among these three, Ning Daozhen was understandable.
The other two, Dan Hongzi and Xiao Han, had strengths that were definitely at the lower end among these powerful individuals. Yet, they had managed to reach the third level, which was not easy.
After all, the Spiritual Realms in the second level were randomly assigned, and teaming up was not allowed.
