Everything is in place. Feeling the boundless power within his body, Xu Guang knew in his heart, all that awaited was a breakthrough in cultivation technique, then he could ride the momentum to breakthrough.

If there were no assistance, to complete this process, he would need to comprehend the Nirvana Transformation technique himself.

But...

Xu Guang opened the panel and looked at the dense numbers above, the vast experience enough to let the Five Emperors True Form Transformation technique undergo another metamorphosis.

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

[Cultivation Technique Evolution!]

The evolution technique function, which had long been unused, began to rumble into motion at this moment.

Using the Five Emperors True Form Transformation as a foundation, it merges his five divine techniques, combined with the Power of the Ultimate Martial Venerate's Soul; after the transformation, the Divine Soul is almost indistinguishable from the body, completely unified.

This is Nirvana Transformation!

[Five Emperors Morning Ritual Method to Heaven Chapter (First Nirvana Realm): Not focusing on form but concentrating on essence, not wielding force but mastering authority, taking one's five divine techniques as the Heavenly Court, bodily blood as the ministers, honoring the Divine Soul ascending to the throne, shaping five divine techniques into five dharmic aspects, five bodies patrolling the heavens, five aspects fully formed!]

Xu Guang was amazed as he comprehended this cultivation technique, which consumed twelve-digit experience points to deduce.

This cultivation technique, which he had been deducing ever since the Fifth Grade, finally showed its real strength after Nirvana Transformation.

Using the five divine techniques in the body to shape five dharmic bodies, the Five Emperors patrol the heavens, all forming dharmic aspects.

Extraordinary, indeed extraordinary!

Xu Guang was quite satisfied in his heart; this technique almost fulfilled all his pursuits during the First Nirvana period.

Powerful, ferocious.

Now, the divine power has manifested, and it is exactly the time for Nirvana Transformation!

In meditation.

Xu Guang felt the surging blood and Source Qi around him retreat like tides, converging deeply into every inch of his skin and every vein.

A brand new, even more terrifying power was gestating and being born within his flesh and Divine Soul.

After an unknown time.

Within the chamber, Xu Guang abruptly opened his eyes, seemingly containing galaxies disintegrating and the cosmos taking form.

The breath around him underwent earth-shattering changes, becoming more restrained yet more profound and vast.

Beneath his skin, a subtle treasure-like light flowed, blood like dragons, each gesture seemingly infused with immense power.

First Nirvana Transformation, complete!

He successfully crossed the chasm, officially becoming a Martial Artist of the Nirvana Transformation Realm, standing among the forefront of worldly experts!

Xu Guang's eyes sharpened, and he rose instantly. The anomalies surrounding him drew back into his body as he took a step out of the dilapidated chamber, the seawater parted.

His Divine Thought spread out like mercury flooding the land, stronger than it was before Nirvana Transformation—more than ten times stronger!

His form flickered, and then a figure emerged from his body, whole as jade and pure, visible were green divine lights flowing like rivers, an embodiment of boundless life force.

Its appearance resembled Xu Guang in middle age, warm yet majestic, eyes akin to pools of spring water encompassing endless compassion and command, with a vertical line on the brow like a closed third eye, faintly showing life and death manifestation within.

Long hair coiled in a green dragon, tied into an Emperor Crown, strands floating with the semblance of all things growing and withering, circulating ceaselessly.

Clad in the Robe of Ten Thousand Spirits Paying Tribute to the Green Emperor, it was not entirely motionless but gently moving as if it were a miniature world.

This is the Green Emperor Dharmic Body!

Xu Guang quietly observed the first dharmic body he condensed, feeling the power within that figure.

Very strong, almost no different from his own; it can wield Silence Divine Power, controlling the true essence of the seasons.

Feeling his power at this moment, Xu Guang was satisfied, although he did not know his standings within the Nirvana Transformation compared to others, as those capable of entering the Nirvana Transformation were no longer mixed in quality like the First Grade.

They all were considered outstanding individuals, having those who could match or even easily surpass him was not surprising.

However...

No matter, once he condenses five dharmic bodies, using the Five Emperors to patrol the heavens, within the First Nirvana Realm, surely none can rival him, even attempting the dharmic aspects of the Second Nirvana Realm would not be impossible.

Rising, he suddenly felt some strangeness within this deep-sea labyrinth.

Gathering his breath, Xu Guang began to carefully explore this accidentally discovered underwater palace ruins.

Thick silt and unknown deep-sea moss covered the broken walls and debris, but on some exposed stone components, there were carvings far more ancient and primitive than those of the Celestial Capital.

These carvings weren't merely decorations, but seemed like a kind of natural Dao imprint, faintly resonating with the breath of the entire Labyrinth Sea.

He extended a finger, lightly touching a fragment of a gigantic stone column.

A cool sensation came from his fingertips, yet deeper within, there was a weak, peculiar pulse, like the slow yet powerful heartbeat of a slumbering giant beast.

"This is..." Xu Guang furrowed his brows, his Divine Thought spread out like threads, cautiously integrating into the stone pillar, following the weak pulse extending into the depths of the palace.

After an unknown time, his consciousness "saw" a region enveloped in chaotic light.

There, the ground was no longer broken bricks, but smooth mirror-like strange material, imprinted with countless complex runes, which weren't static but slowly circulated, drawing energy of a chaotic, deathly silence from all directions and even the entire Labyrinth Sea.

A gigantic forbidden technique spanning an unknown extent!

This forbidden technique was not artificially set but seemed naturally formed, intricately connected to the source of the Labyrinth Sea! It was like a gigantic filter, or... a cage?

Xu Guang could perceive the source of power in the Labyrinth Sea that erodes the Heart Spirit and confuses will, seemingly related to the forbidden technique deep within this palace.

If he could comprehend even a part of it, perhaps not only could he find a way to leave the Labyrinth Sea, but he might even glimpse a sliver of the mystery behind the formation of the Labyrinth Sea!
