Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 50 Purple Spirit True Immortal

On the other side, inside the bronze door, Shi An looked around, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Here, the sky is no longer azure, but a deep purple, with colorful specks of light floating in the air, as dazzling as stars, each containing different fluctuations of power, inspiring awe.

They move slowly, as if following some ancient rule.

On the earth, the intricate network of runes and arrays occasionally emitted a mysterious and unpredictable light, as if every inch of the land held ancient secrets.

"Is this the ancient land of inheritance?"

Shi An muttered to himself as he stepped deeper into the area.

"Welcome to the Purple Spirit Realm, outstanding junior of the human race!"

But just then, a gentle voice rang in his ears, which made his heart tighten, and he turned around sharply to look.

An elderly man in a purple robe with a kind face was slowly walking towards him. The old man's eyes seemed to see into people's hearts, and he exuded a reassuring aura.

"Greetings, senior!"

After sizing up the old man, Shi An did not act rashly. Instead, he bowed respectfully and asked, "Senior, could you please tell me where this Purple Spirit Domain is? And who left it here?"

The old man smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of vicissitude and wisdom. He gently raised his hand, indicating that Shi An did not need to be too reserved, and then slowly explained: "This Purple Spirit Domain is a small world created by a powerful being in ancient times with supreme divine power when he was on his deathbed."

"Its original purpose was to find a destined person to inherit its mantle, but unexpectedly, after the great war in ancient times, the rules of this world were damaged, causing this world to disappear from the sight of the world. Until recently, it was affected by some unknown force that it reappeared in the world."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Shi An's eyes, and he asked again, "May I ask what that senior's name is?"

The old man gently stroked his beard, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, as if he had pierced through the mists of time and returned to that distant era.

"That powerful being was a true immortal, known as the 'Purple Spirit True Immortal,' a legendary figure in the ancient immortal realm. He was not only proficient in the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and the art of Qimen Dunjia, but also possessed extraordinary attainments in the realm of the soul."

"It's a pity that he pursued the ultimate immortality throughout his life, but suffered extremely serious injuries in that great battle, and there was no possibility of recovery."

"In the end, to prevent his life's learning from being lost to the annals of history with his passing, the True Immortal, at the last moment, poured out all his cultivation, using his own soul as a guide and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a foundation, to create this Purple Spirit Realm."

"I have transformed my understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, my cultivation insights, and my self-created cultivation techniques into starlight and rune arrays within this domain, hoping to find a destined person here to inherit my mantle and continue exploring the path of immortality."

"Such a master!"

After listening to the old man's introduction, Shi An couldn't help but sigh, "This True Immortal Zi Ling's dedication to pursuing the path of immortality is truly admirable to us cultivators."

After speaking, Shi An looked at the old man again and asked, "And who is this senior?"

Seeing that Shi An remained so polite, the old man's smile deepened, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "I am the spirit of this realm, enlightened by the True Immortal. You may call me Zi Ling, or you may call me the Realm Spirit!"

"The true immortal left me here because he was worried that his inheritance was too profound for ordinary people to comprehend, and he was even more afraid that the inheritance would fall into the hands of people with evil intentions. Therefore, he specially left me, this wisp of remnant soul, as a test and guidance."

"So it's Senior Realm Spirit! Junior Zhu Rong greets Senior!"

After listening to the old man's self-introduction, Shi An bowed again and asked, "May I ask what kind of test you mentioned, senior?"

The spirit smiled at Shi An and said, "Actually, you've already passed half of this test. The bronze gate outside is the first test, designed to examine the talent of those who come after you."

"Now that you have stepped into the Purple Spirit Realm, it means that your talent is sufficient to bear the inheritance of a True Immortal. However, whether you can truly obtain the inheritance depends on whether you can pass the subsequent tests."

As soon as the spirit finished speaking, Shi An asked again, "Could you please tell me what the subsequent challenges are?"

Seeing Shi An's appearance, a barely perceptible smile flashed in the eyes of the Realm Spirit. Then, it raised its hand and pointed into the depths, saying, "In the center of this realm, there is a stele with the two characters 'Purple Spirit' left by a True Immortal."

"If you can comprehend its profound mysteries, you will not only receive the inheritance of a true immortal, but this world will also belong to you."

"Thank you very much..."

Upon hearing this, Shi An first looked into the depths, and then intended to turn around and thank the Realm Spirit, but when he looked again, he found that the Realm Spirit had already disappeared.

Helpless, Shi An could only bow to the void before heading deeper into the void.

As Shi An ventured deeper into the Purple Spirit Domain, the surrounding scenery became increasingly bizarre.

The floating specks of light seemed to come alive as he approached, becoming denser and more vibrant in color. They intertwined and collided in the air, occasionally bursting into dazzling light, as if playing a silent cosmic symphony.

The runes and arrays on the ground seemed to come alive. Whenever Shi An stepped on them, he could feel streams of power surging within him, as if he had formed a subtle connection with this world.

After several days of trekking, Shi An finally arrived at the central area of ​​the Purple Spirit Domain and saw the monument that the Realm Spirit had mentioned.

The stele is about three zhang high and two zhang wide. It is carved entirely from an unknown purple stone and has two ancient characters engraved on it. The characters are vigorous and powerful, as if they contain infinite power.

Purple Spirit

These two words seemed to possess some kind of magic, drawing Shi An's gaze in and making it impossible for him to look away.

Shi An slowly approached the stone tablet, his gaze fixed on the two characters, carefully observing the patterns on them, trying to decipher the mystery the spirit of the realm had spoken of.

However, no matter how he stared at them, the two words seemed to be alive, constantly changing shape, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, making it difficult to grasp their true meaning.

"It seems this is no ordinary writing!"

Shi An thought to himself, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to feel the two words with his heart.

Time passed second by second. Shi An was immersed in front of the stone tablet, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes with a flicker in his eyes, as if he was having a silent conversation with the stone tablet.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavy because of his focus, and even the floating specks of light seemed to freeze. The entire Purple Spirit Domain became unusually quiet at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a strange power emanating from the monument and flowing into his body.

As this power surged in, images suddenly flashed through Shi An's mind.

That was the cultivation journey of the Purple Spirit True Immortal throughout his life, from initially grasping the basics to transcending the mortal realm and entering sainthood, from fighting against heaven and earth to finally opening up the Purple Spirit Domain.

Every detail was so clear, as if he had experienced it himself.
