Deep within the Sea of Suffering, an unnamed island.

Song Yan's figure darted, already reaching the depths of the island.

A crystal-clear human skeleton sat cross-legged, with nothing in front of it.

Song Yan was not surprised. Opportunities born under the very eyes of the Master of Heaven and Earth could hardly be the turn of later generations. If it truly were his turn, he would have to be on guard again.

The mystical breeze once again wafted up.

Song Yan looked and saw that the obsessions in the air here touched this crystalline skeleton, which then naturally turned into a clear breeze after being purified.

This skeleton, even in death, still retained an aroma, sitting in the center of the Sea of Suffering, as if to transcend the obsessions of the Celestial Demons in the world.

An inexplicable respect welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He thought of the mysterious elder Ning Daozhen from the "Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace" in the void before, and Song Yan vaguely realized that the white stone he unintentionally picked up was most likely related to this skeleton, at least had a great connection.

In the past, Ning Daozhen unveiled the trap laid for him by the Formless Ancestor in a single sentence, prompting him to decisively discard the Black and White Dragon Bracelet.

Now, this mysterious skeleton had helped him undergo a rebirth through fire, realizing his true Lifebound Realm and Lifebound Characters, and had also resolved the Fire Demon Dragon.

"The grace of saving life, the grace of rebirth...

This cause and effect, though the senior did it unintentionally, is also a fate between you and me.

Unfortunately, the senior's name and glorious deeds remain unknown.

But even if I observed, I wouldn't comprehend its profundity, as ephemeral as an insect looking up at the vast sky, only to make the senior laugh at me."

Song Yan laughed freely, then focused on the skeleton, kneeling with utmost respect, putting his hands to the ground, and kowtowed three times, before turning away.

There was no adventure or surprise, nor did the kowtowing reveal a heritage of Divine Skill.

This was merely a grateful young man's respect for his predecessor.

Song Yan's heart was unprecedentedly fulfilled.

He stood up, laughing heartily.

In the depths of despair, a new life emerges, heaven does not abandon humans.

He was reborn through death, what could be more joyous in the world?

He reached the edge of the island, lightly crossed his hands behind his back, fixated on the dark waves of the Sea of Suffering, and stepped forward.

No ripples spread out.

He continued to stride.

Clearly, the Divine Soul that all obsessions and Celestial Demons craved was so openly exposed outside, yet nothing happened though the obsessions should have swarmed in like hungry wolves...

It was as if an Immortal Jade Heaven, occasionally tired of Immortal Brew, tread across the Vast Sea, leisurely strolling, step by step without ripples, untouched by cause and effect.

The deep black ocean, the purely white human form, crystal-clear flowing hair, so incompatible, yet stirring the Divine Soul so profoundly.

Song Yan stood hands behind in the Sea of Suffering. This world, which looked like Hell to the Divine Infant's Transcending Eye, appeared no different than ordinary ground to him.

With the Little Celestial Dao Characters of "Freedom," those who understood it, naturally, wouldn't be touched by such cause and effect.

...

...

Song Yan walked on the Sea of Suffering for a long time.

Though there was no scenery, there were obsessions of others.

He recalled riding a bike to school before transmigration, the scenery receding on both sides, yet now the scenery replaced by obsessions.

He observed obsessions all along, and saw what others could not let go of even in death, how much of it was regret, how much remorse, how much irreparable?

Though his heart had not withered nor aged, it inevitably carried more melancholy and stoicism, silently pondering, 'Obsessions are like fire, burning life thin as a drop in the ocean of heaven and earth.'

'But are obsessions wrong?'

'Obsessions are not wrong, what errs is they are too weak.'

'If obsessions could surpass Buddha's Sound, which Buddha could speak of emptiness? If surpassing the Sea of Suffering, even the Master of Heaven and Earth would bow down. How could it be so insignificant?'

Eventually, a piercing gold appeared in the distance.

Song Yan recognized it.

It was Profound Yellow Material.

Across the Sea of Suffering, there turned out to be an island made of Profound Yellow Material.

Yet he quickly realized, wasn't the void's exploration of Profound Yellow Material ruins just another destroyed world?

If this realm were to be destroyed, the Profound Yellow Material he saw now might become the resources others sought in the future. Furthermore, Netherworld beings might also roam this land.

As he thought, he continued forward.

Soon, the island split into two distinct paths.

To the left was a towering purple list, with obscure names, clearly the Divine List. Those on the Divine List, protected and also utilized by the Master of Heaven and Earth.

To the right, was a dark path, ending in a plain and ancient square like a Teleportation Array... Song Yan already learned from Ling Handeng that it led to the Immortal Position.

The Immortal Position offered no protection, merely leading to the Teleportation Array, which then sent you to a solitary island at the world's edge.

On that island, you could gain temporary Six Paths Talent and the Taiyin and Taiyang Projection Fire's favor to spend millennia refining and purifying your Power.

Transitioning from reliance on Heaven and Earth to possessing your own independent "Power of One Realm," while further comprehending your Lifebound Characters.

"Power of One Realm" is the power;

Lifebound Characters are the technique.

The Great Dao is extremely simple, seemingly complex, it is just power and technique.

However, this power and technique far surpass common imagination, as ants cannot understand why humans unleash force with a punch.

For other half-step Divinity Transformation cultivators, even if they accomplish this and fully assimilate the power of the Taiyin and Taiyang Projection Fire, they've only comprehended half of their Lifebound Characters, but Song Yan... without reaching here, his Lifebound Characters have achieved sixty percent completion.
