Feeling the surrounding scenery and atmosphere, Ye Fan was equally stunned, his eyes reflecting a deep shock, lost in thought.
"How is this possible? There is actually Divine Energy drifting here!"
His gaze swept around, and Ye Fan's heart was filled with an inexplicable astonishment.
Divine Energy was a substance that could only be cultivated by powerful beings from the Divine Realm; it represented their fundamental essence and foundation.
It could be said that Divine Energy was something that could only appear in the divine world.
Yet here he sensed Divine Energy!
How could this not shock Ye Fan?
"What did you just say? What is Divine Energy?"
Moonlit Melody stood beside Ye Fan, hearing his murmurs, and couldn't help but furrow her brow in curiosity.
Upon hearing her, Ye Fan collected his emotions, glanced at Moonlit Melody beside him, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the space here is extremely special, which has left me a bit astonished!"
Divine Energy was unique to the Upper Realm. Among their group, they need not mention those at the Profound Immortal and Celestial Mansion Realm.
Just among the Celestial King Realm experts alone, there were more than ten, plus the peak Celestial King Realm Moonlit Melody and an early-stage Celestial Emperor Realm Chenmu Xu'a.
With their levels of cultivation, they still did not know what Divine Energy was. If he were to say that the air in this space contained drifting Divine Energy, it would be hard to say whether they would believe him or not.
Even if they did believe him, it would still be quite astonishing.
Inevitably, it would lead them to view him with a different perspective; after all, how could someone who had yet to step into the Mystic Immortal Realm know so much? This alone indicated something significant.
Chenmu Xu'a turned his gaze toward Ye Fan and Moonlit Melody before settling on Ye Fan. He spoke, "This space is inherently mysterious; even a Celestial Emperor Realm expert could fall here. It’s entirely normal for you two to feel astonished given your cultivation levels."
Ye Fan glanced at Chenmu Xu'a and nodded lightly.
However, Chenmu Xu'a's words clearly indicated a certain level of disdain for Ye Fan.
Yet, Ye Fan did not mind; instead, he began to ponder why Divine Energy would appear in this place.
In this mysterious space, although there were no sun, moon, or stars in sight, it was vast beyond measure. It could be said that this was not merely a space but rather an independent small world.
Moreover, this place not only made the late-stage Celestial Emperor Realm cultivators Morning and Evening Jiangchuan and Morning Hill wary, but even the peak Celestial Emperor Realm cultivator Morning Dusk Autumn regarded it with deep caution. The presence of Divine Energy drifting about further indicated the unusual nature of this space.
"Everyone be careful; this space is very strange and dangerous."
Although Ye Fan had yet to discover anything or deduce how this space had formed or why Divine Energy floated in the void, he felt it necessary to advise those around him, particularly Sword King Muqu, to be more cautious.
Moreover, there was an inexplicable familiarity that washed over Ye Fan as he stood in this space and sensed the Divine Energy drifting through the air. Yet, he could not quite recall why.
The others clearly did not take Ye Fan's words to heart and paid him no mind.
They were already aware of the dangers and strangeness of this space before entering; it was common knowledge.
Chenmu Xu'a said, "We have only just entered this space. As we go deeper, we will encounter some extremely terrifying phantom attacks. These phantoms are fearsome, like evil spirits, so you all need to prepare yourselves mentally."
"For now, everyone stay close behind me as we move forward!"
"But since this is a trial, we must experience life and death challenges; only then can we each make progress. Once you adapt to this place, we will split up and operate independently. Let’s go!"
Clearly, before entering this mysterious space, Chenmu Xu'a had already learned a great deal about the dangers they would face within.
Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded respectfully at Chenmu Xu'a.
Then Chenmu Xu'a stepped forward, leading a group of powerful beings from the Celestial King Realm as they moved ahead.
The elite descendants of the Morning and Evening Family followed closely behind them.
Ye Fan did not rush; he kept a tight pace at the back, following the footsteps of the crowd while observing this mysterious space, eager to discover what kind of place it truly was.
Moonlit Melody could tell from Ye Fan's expression that he had clearly noticed something significant.
Thus, she slowed her pace as well, deliberately walking alongside Ye Fan.
Using a method of sound transmission, she said, "It seems you have discovered something. Also, about what you just mentioned regarding Divine Energy, can you tell me what it is?"
Moonlit Melody sensed that Ye Fan's earlier words were far from simple.
With his audacious personality, he dared to insult even those at the peak of the Celestial Emperor Realm; would he really be shocked by this space?
Such a notion was hard to believe.
Upon hearing Moonlit Melody's transmission, Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, but his expression remained unchanged.
He replied through sound transmission, "This matter is significant. I still haven't figured out exactly what kind of place this is. But one thing is certain."
Moonlit Melody inquired through sound transmission, "Is it about the Divine Energy you mentioned?"
Ye Fan transmitted back, his tone somewhat grave: "Indeed. According to some ancient texts I've seen, Divine Energy is a type of gas that only powerful beings from the Upper Realm Divine Domain can cultivate; it can also be referred to as energy."
"It's similar to the Celestial Spirit Power that we cultivators cultivate."
"However, in this space, I can actually feel Divine Energy drifting in the void. Although this power is faint, it undeniably exists."
"But this is the Lower Realm; there are no Divine Realm beings present here. How could there possibly be any Divine Realm beings around?"
Ye Fan's words caused Moonlit Melody's expression to grow serious as well. Suddenly, a thought struck her: "Could it be that there is a powerful being who has already undergone Divine Tribulation hiding here in this mysterious space? Is the Divine Energy in the air emanating from them?"
As this was said, Moonlit Melody's expression grew increasingly grim. Those who had passed the Divine Tribulation were terrifyingly powerful beyond imagination.
They were beings on the verge of ascending to the Divine Realm, surpassing even the immortals.
Even a peak Celestial Emperor, if they had not undergone the Divine Tribulation, would be insignificant in the presence of those who had.
If such a being were hidden within this space, practicing in seclusion, the consequences of barging in with so many people and disturbing their tranquility could be easily imagined.
However, Ye Fan shook his head directly, denying Moonlit Melody's speculation. "Those who have passed the Divine Tribulation convert their Celestial Essence into Divine Energy. While it is true that some Divine Energy will still be present within them, they have not ascended to the Upper Realm and have not cultivated further. The amount of Divine Energy within them is almost negligible. How could such sparse Divine Energy possibly permeate this entire space?"
"This..."
Moonlit Melody froze, her clear eyes fixed on Ye Fan, left speechless by his words.
Of course, the reality was not exactly as Ye Fan described.
While it was true that the Divine Energy produced within those who had passed the Divine Tribulation was extremely thin, it depended on whom one was referring to.
From Ye Fan's perspective, he naturally looked down upon such a small amount of Divine Energy.
But for those from the Celestial Realm, once a peak Celestial Emperor reached that level and the Divine Tribulation descended, after undergoing its baptism, their Celestial Energy would gradually transform into Divine Energy.
However, even this minuscule amount of Divine Energy could lead to a tremendous change in the strength of someone who had passed the Divine Tribulation.
They would be entirely different from before they underwent it.
"How do you know all this?"
After a moment of surprise, Moonlit Melody gazed deeply at Ye Fan and asked again through thought transmission.
"According to what I saw in the ancient texts," Ye Fan communicated.
Ancient texts?
Moonlit Melody glanced at Ye Fan, skeptical.
Even if the ancient texts could record Divine Energy, could you really discern it?
Even if one could recognize it, it wouldn't be possible to forge it like that!
Moreover, seeing Ye Fan speak so confidently, one might think he was a powerful being who had already passed the Divine Tribulation, if not for knowing his realm was merely Celestial Realm.
However, since Ye Fan didn't want to elaborate, Moonlit Melody chose not to press further.
It was clear that Ye Fan had become even more mysterious in her eyes.
As everyone continued forward, they had already ventured deep into this mysterious space for thousands of miles in no time.
The deeper they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere felt.
The demonic aura and the stench of blood in the air grew increasingly intense.
Of course, aside from the intensified stench of blood and demonic energy, Ye Fan sensed that even the Divine Energy mixed in the air seemed to have thickened as well.
"Could it be that this place no longer belongs to the Lower Realm?" Ye Fan pondered quietly, his brow furrowing slightly.
Just then, a sudden scream erupted from among the disciples of the Morning and Evening Family ahead.
"What happened?"
Under such a suffocating environment, the disciples of the Morning and Evening Family, already tense and fearful, were thrown into chaos at the sound of a horrifying scream, their panic escalating.
"Don't panic! It's just an illusion in this space; he was attacked by an illusion," Chenmu Xu'a shouted, calming everyone's emotions. He then flashed directly to the side of the disciple who had been attacked.
With a swift motion, Chenmu Xu'a reached out his hand, and a wave of Celestial Light enveloped the area, pulling a shadowy figure from above the head of the Morning and Evening Family disciple.
The shadow was grotesque, making it impossible to discern whether it was human or ghostly.
Caught in Chenmu Xu'a's grasp, it struggled and roared, emitting invisible Sound Waves.
Strangely enough, while everyone could not hear any sound, the attacks from these Sound Waves still managed to disturb their minds.
With a loud crash, a surge of blazing Celestial Spirit Fire erupted from Chenmu Xu'a's hand, incinerating the illusion into fragments.
His expression turned serious as he addressed the crowd. "These illusions can not only attack one's soul from a distance but also emit strange Sound Waves that disrupt one's mental state. If they manage to possess you, they can devour your Three Souls and Seven Spirits, making them even stronger. Everyone must be cautious."
Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Chenmu Xu'a frowned slightly. A hint of dominance emerged on his handsome features as he declared, "What we face now is merely the beginning of life and death trials. If you are already afraid now, how can you ever hope to become top-tier powerhouses in the future?"
"Moreover, danger always coexists with crisis. While this space is perilous, it can greatly enhance our reaction and mental capabilities. Only through experiencing life-and-death challenges can we progress further on our cultivation journey."
"I expect all of you to put away your fears and show your courage. Do not let me underestimate you."
"Young Master Xu'a is right. This is just an attack from one illusion; what if we encounter more? Wouldn't you all fall apart? If that's the case, then you truly won't survive to walk out of here," said a powerful young man with Celestial King Realm cultivation standing behind Chenmu Xu'a.
"Illusion?"
Ye Fan did not share the same tension and fear as the other disciples of the Morning and Evening Family; instead, he remained remarkably calm.
He gazed at the shadow that had been directly burned to pieces by Chenmu Xu'a using Celestial Spirit Fire, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
What kind of illusion is this?
This is clearly a product of spiritual energy!
The appearance of this spiritual energy manifestation was like a bright lamp in the darkness, instantly enlightening Ye Fan and unraveling the mystery in his heart.
"It turns out to be a Divine Realm! No wonder there is Divine Energy wafting in the air," Ye Fan said, slightly shocked.
The so-called Divine Realm is a world cultivated by deities.
It exists as a separate realm.
Every deity creates a world that belongs to them.
This world not only can store vast amounts of Divine Energy cultivated by powerful Divine Realm beings, similar to a Dantian Qi Sea, but it can also accommodate all things under heaven. As long as the deity's cultivation is strong enough, everything can be contained within.
However, it was clear that the Divine Realm before him belonged to a very low-level New Deity.
Because any Ancient God with powerful cultivation has spent countless years in their cultivation.
Their Divine Realms, after years of cultivation and evolution, resemble a true grand world.
Mountains and rivers stretch across the land, reaching up to the sun, moon, and stars.
All phenomena under heaven are contained within.
Moreover, in addition to this, the Divine Realm of an Ancient God has already birthed living beings.
The Ancient God themselves is the creator deity of that realm, capable of gathering the power of belief to accelerate their own cultivation progress.
Only in the New Deity's Divine Realm could there be such a place, devoid of sun and moon, without stars, as if it were merely an independent space.
At most, it could only be considered a conical shape of a world.
It was clear that this was not just any New Deity, but rather a Divine Realm cultivated by one of the lowest-ranking beings among them.
However, even so, the appearance of a Divine Realm created by a deity within the Lower Realm would undoubtedly bring numerous benefits to the inhabitants of the Lower Realm.
Of course, if the deity who constructed this Divine Realm had already fallen, then there would inevitably be many perilous areas within this realm.
Those so-called phantoms were remnants of Mental Residue left behind after the deity's fall that had not dissipated.
There is an essential difference between the strong in the Divine Realm and immortals.
In the eyes of a powerful being from the Divine Realm, even a New Deity who has just stepped into the Divine Realm is no different from an ant, regardless of how peak-level Celestial Emperor Realm experts might appear to them.
Thus, even the Mental Residue left behind by a fallen New Deity would still be extremely terrifying for cultivators in the Lower Realm.
Ye Fan's words had not been concealed, so aside from Moonlit Melody, many people around Ye Fan heard him clearly.
Even Chenmu Xu'a heard what Ye Fan said.
After speaking to some of his fellow clansmen, Chenmu Xu'a's gaze fell upon Ye Fan as he stepped forward and asked, "You just said this is a Divine Realm. What do you mean by that?"
Chenmu Xu'a was an existence at the Celestial Emperor Realm, while Ye Fan was merely at the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, although Chenmu Xu'a respected Ye Fan to some extent, there was still a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Ye Fan glanced at Chenmu Xu'a and then looked at Moonlit Melody and others who were equally puzzled before responding, "Young Master Xu, as the name implies, a Divine Realm is a world cultivated by a deity."
"A world cultivated by a deity?" Upon hearing this, Chenmu Xu'a chuckled dismissively and then turned to Moonlit Melody. "Sister, although this Ye Fan brother you brought back has decent talent, he certainly speaks grandly!"
Chenmu Xu'a smiled and said, "What kind of existence are the gods? Not to mention you, Brother Ye Fan, even someone at the peak like our mother, the Celestial Emperor, has never encountered them."
"A world cultivated by the gods? Let's not even discuss whether the gods can create a world. Even if they could, it's not something we should be spreading rumors about here. So, Brother Ye Fan, please refrain from saying such things to scare people."
Chenmu Xu'a's tone was extremely polite, but the meaning behind his words was clear: he was directly telling Ye Fan not to speak nonsense and disturb the morale.
Ye Fan could certainly hear this and couldn't help but smile wryly at Chenmu Xu'a, nodding in acknowledgment without saying more.
"Xu A," Moonlit Melody said with a slight frown as she reprimanded Chenmu Xu'a. Then she turned to Ye Fan and asked, "Is this really a world cultivated by the gods?"
Ye Fan chuckled and replied, "I just mentioned it casually. Whether it is or not, we should all be cautious."
"By the way, those Mental Residues can attack a person's soul to strengthen themselves. But we can also bind them and then devour them to enhance our Three Souls and Seven Spirits, boosting our spiritual perception."
"As long as our mental strength increases and our perception improves, our cultivation will naturally become stronger."
"Furthermore," Ye Fan said with a slightly serious tone, "in my opinion, those with lower cultivation should stick together. I feel that the Mental Residue we encountered earlier wasn't too strong; there may be many stronger entities out there."
The Mental Residue Ye Fan referred to was, of course, the phantom that Chenmu Xu'a had mentioned.
