Lin Dong refined the Soul Cleansing Glass Jade, successfully breaking through to the Peak of Third Layer Heaven and increasing his mental power. Meanwhile, Fengtian discovered her Soul Cleansing Glass Jade was shattered, indicating its user, Xue Hen, was dead. Suspecting foul play, she dispatched her Blood Demon Clone to investigate the Netherworld Oasis.

On the other side,

within that mysterious place, the Netherworld Oasis.

After Lin Dong’s realm had risen to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven Peak, he still did not leave this place.

Instead, he continued to remain inside.

Lin Dong’s shadow stretched long in the afterglow as he slowly walked toward that legendary Netherworld River, every step seeming to tread on the cracks of time.

The Netherworld River, a river flowing with dark water and exuding a bone-chilling cold, contained within it a mysterious power.

The surface of the river shimmered with a dim light, yet its depth could not be seen, as if it could devour all light and Life Force; even the air was filled with a suffocating oppression that made one’s heart palpitate.

When Lin Dong approached the riverbank, his gaze Suddenly became sharp.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, hovering lightly above the river’s surface, closed his eyes and focused, sensing the changes in his Inner Qi.

In the past, any living being that approached the Netherworld River would have the power within their body gradually "weakened" by the river’s special power until it completely vanished.

But At the moment, Lin Dong’s Inner Qi seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier and actually showed no sign of weakening at all.

"Oh? The ’weakening’ effect of this Netherworld River on me has disappeared." Lin Dong abruptly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing within them.

"Could it be because I absorbed that Soul Purifying Spirit Dew?" Lin Dong muttered to himself as a faint understanding gradually arose in his heart.

Soul Purifying Spirit Dew, a rare miracle among Heavenly and Earthly treasures between Sky and ground, able to purify all things and cleanse the Soul. Previously, Xue Hen had relied on it to successfully cross the Netherworld River.

And just now, Lin Dong had already Refining it into his body.

Lin Dong guessed that it was precisely this Purification Power that had allowed the Inner Qi in his body to attain a certain level of sublimation, enabling it to resist the Netherworld River’s special power.

In that moment, Lin Dong’s eyes flickered as a thought arose.

He planned to cross the river and go take a look Over There on the other side of the Netherworld River.

Once the thought came, he acted.

He activated his Inner Qi, condensation a pair of Inner Qi Wings, then flew toward the opposite bank of the Netherworld River.

Just now, he had been unable to fly over the Netherworld River. Its weakening ability would affect his Inner Qi.

He had simply been unable to use Inner Qi.

But now, that scene did not occur.

He very smoothly flew over the Netherworld River and arrived at the opposite bank of the river.

The opposite bank of the Netherworld River had not been visited by anyone before; unlike the previous side, there were not many Skeletons here.

This was an open stretch of ground.

After the Six-Transformation Immortal Grass had been picked, nothing was left here.

Lin Dong examined the area again and did not find any other Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

"Makes sense. If there were other Heavenly and Earthly treasures, they would have been picked by Xue Hen just now. That Six-Transformation Immortal Grass was also a Coincidence of Opportunity for it to grow here, right?"

A person could not be too greedy; since he had already obtained the Six-Transformation Immortal Grass here, he indeed ought to be content.

Lin Dong had originally intended to perform Alchemy and refine the ’Jiazi Pill’ here, but his gaze Suddenly fell once more onto the Netherworld River.

"Since I can already be immune to the Netherworld Water weakening my Inner Qi, then can I use this to gain Enlightenment into the Power of Ruo Water?"

At the edge of the Netherworld River, Lin Dong made a decision that would shock the world.

He knew full well that although his cultivation level had reached the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven Peak, if he wanted to go further on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, he had to seek out more unique and powerful Opportunities.

His current strength, Then, was still invincible beneath the Secondary Ancestor level.

But what if he encountered a true Secondary Ancestor? For example, the earlier Fengtian—he was far from being a match for Fengtian.

"I must become stronger and obtain more Trump Cards; only then will I have the ability to protect Myself." Lin Dong said thus.

Next, Over There on the Blood Clan’s side, there would be a big action. Moreover, the location seemed to be where the Five Elements Stele was; Lin Dong had to raise his strength as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, once he reached the Five Elements Stele Over There, the chances of survival would be slim.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong did not hesitate, heading toward the Netherworld River...

At the moment that Netherworld River, with its flowing dark waters and boundless mysteries, was no longer an untouchable forbidden zone in his eyes, but a key to a higher Realm.

Relying on the special ability generated in his body after absorbing the Soul Purifying Spirit Dew, Lin Dong took a deep breath, his gaze firm, and leaped into the Netherworld River Without Hesitation.

The river water Instantly engulfed him; it was a kind of indescribable cold, as if it could freeze the Soul.

But it only brought him a sensation of such coldness.

His Inner Qi did not disappear.

As long as his Inner Qi did not vanish, its corrosive power would be unable to corrode Lin Dong.

"Good. Next, I’ll begin to comprehend the Great Path of Water within this Netherworld River."

Lin Dong dove into the Netherworld River.

Countless Skeletons were buried within the Netherworld River, but as he sank into it now, his heart was abnormally calm.

His consciousness was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, galloping freely through this dark water domain.

The water of the Netherworld River was different from any Water flow of the mundane world; it carried an ancient and mysterious power known as the "Power of Ruo Water."

This power could erode all things and weaken the strength of all living beings; even powerful Martial artists found it hard to endure its influence.

Even a Secondary Ancestor would be affected by its weakening ability, their Inner Qi ultimately being exhausted...

But Lin Dong, because he had Refining the Soul Purifying Spirit Dew, was immune to this ’Weakening Power’.

Moreover, under his Enlightenment, he began to resonate in some way with this power...

Under the washing of the river water, his Inner Qi not only did not dissipate but instead became even tougher, as if engaged in a silent contest with the Power of Ruo Water.

In the depths of the river, Lin Dong’s consciousness gradually sank, and he began attempting to understand and comprehend the essence of this Power of Ruo Water.

Every contact with the river water was like conversing with an ancient and wise sage, making his understanding of Water Sword Intent grow ever more profound.

Water was both soft and hard, able to nourish all things silently, yet also able to sweep away decayed wood with unstoppable force...

Most importantly, it could contain all things.

"The Great Path of Water can not only contain other Power of the Elements, but also encompass the Power of Laws... Ruo Water contains the Law of Weakening..."

Time became blurred in that moment as Lin Dong completely immersed himself in his own world.

His Soul seemed to merge with the water, feeling the water’s flow, its changes, its gathering and dispersing.

In this endless Enlightenment, Lin Dong’s Water Sword Intent quietly underwent a transformation, crossing from the Third Layer into the Threshold of the fourth layer.

Previously, when Lin Dong had comprehended Water Sword Intent, it could contain all things, but it was still only on the level of containing Elemental Power...

Thus, at the Third Level of Water Sword Intent, he could create various Water Sword Intent attacks imbued with other elemental forces.

He could create a Water Sword Intent Ultimate Kill imbued with corrosive power, and could also create Sword Intent attacks that fused the Wind Element, Thunder Element, and the Five Elements.

But now, he had grasped an even deeper Great Path within the Great Path of Water.

That was the fusion of the Law’s Great Path!

"So, to comprehend the fourth layer of Water Sword Intent, the key lies in integrating the Power of Laws into the Water Sword Intent..."

Lin Dong understood this principle; he had drawn upon the Power of Ruo Water within this Netherworld River and realized how to merge the Law of ’Weakening’ into his Water Sword Intent.

He had created a ’Sword Intent of Water’ that could weaken the strength of others!

"Hu~~~~"

He took a deep breath and leaped from the river; when he once again stood upon solid ground, an unprecedented Light flickered in his eyes.

He swung the Sword in his hand, and a Sword Light infused with the Power of Ruo Water tore through the sky. Wherever it passed, even the air seemed to be eroded by its power, becoming feeble and weak.

This was precisely the fourth layer of Water Sword Intent that Lin Dong had comprehended—"Weak Water Sword."

This Sword Intent could not only weaken an enemy’s strength, but also interfere with their mind, causing the opponent to gradually lose their advantage in battle.

Yes, it had become one more among Lin Dong’s Trump Cards and Skills.
