These bubbles, radiating white and blue halos, floated and sank slowly, like dreamlike nebulae in the universe.

Some bubbles crackled with lightning, others were frozen solid, some were teeming with life and lush greenery, others were deathly black as if they could swallow up light, and still others seemed to have blurry figures practicing profound martial arts techniques inside...

Layer upon layer of spiraling steps, outlined by illusory light, extend upwards from beneath everyone's feet, leading directly to the suspended bubbles.

The steps were incredibly wide, enough to accommodate ten thousand people walking side by side, but each step exuded an invisible spiritual pressure, and the higher one went, the more terrifying the pressure became.

The entire space was permeated with a vast, ancient, and awe-inspiring pressure that originated from the very source of life.

"What...what is this?" Yan Feng, who was teleported in at the same time, exclaimed in surprise. The scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension. Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes also widened, her usually cold face unable to hide her shock.

Su Jie silently asked in his mind, "System, analyze."

[Ding! High concentration and high purity of divine essence aggregate detected, stable in form and exhibiting regular shape.]

[Based on database comparison, this is a special inherited entity formed by the combination of the "Divine Treasury" opened within the body of a martial artist who has fallen at the "Divine Treasury Realm" and their own will.]

[Supplementary Information: Divine Treasury Realm, above the Origin Realm. Martial artists use Origin Power as a key to unlock the secret apertures within their bodies corresponding to the power of heaven and earth, which is called 'Opening the Divine Treasury'. Each time a Divine Treasury is opened, a 'Primal Authority' can be awakened.]

[Ordinary martial artists, limited by their talent and foundation, can usually only open one Divine Treasure at the Divine Treasure Realm. Their Divine Treasure powers are categorized from lowest to highest based on potential and quality: Mortal, Spiritual, Earthly, Heavenly, and Saintly.]

However, the universe is vast, and there are always extraordinary individuals who can defy convention and open up multiple divine treasures within the Divine Treasure Realm. Each additional treasure opened grants access to another primal power, causing their strength and potential to increase exponentially!

[Note: The light, size, and internal phenomena of the bubbles before the host are all related to the quality and attributes of the 'divine treasure' they represent. Blue bubbles often indicate that the owner was more powerful in life, or that the divine treasure was of higher quality. However, the difficulty and risk of obtaining it also increase accordingly.]

An unprecedented glint flashed in Su Jie's eyes.

That's it!

These countless bubbles are the most crucial legacy left behind by the thousands of fallen Divine Treasure Realm experts—the inheritance formed from the primordial power they controlled in the Divine Treasure Realm!

If an ordinary martial artist obtains one of these, they can inherit a powerful primal power. After entering the Origin Realm, they can comprehend this primal power and will surely be able to enter the Divine Treasure Realm in the future!

According to the strongest martial arts system, the vast majority of these thousands of bubbles are white mortal-level divine treasures, with only a few dozen being spirit-level divine treasures emitting blue phantoms.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just as Su Jie was digesting this astonishing information, many of the tens of thousands of geniuses who entered the secret realm had seen the remains of a Divine Treasure Realm warrior before. After a brief moment of shock, they were filled with endless greed and fervor!

At this moment, tens of thousands of geniuses have already rushed up the steps, but the situation is quite different.

Most people, upon stepping onto the first or second step, tremble violently, their faces turn pale, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden, making each step difficult. Less than half can climb ten steps. Those who can reach thirty steps are even rarer.

Only a very few people, with their calm aura, steady steps, and faint spiritual radiance flowing around them, were able to withstand the ever-increasing pressure of the soul power and quickly climb upwards, heading straight for those blue spirit-level bubbles that emitted even stronger fluctuations!

"This is the Soul Power Steps!" someone exclaimed. "Only those with Soul Power reaching Level Ten can ignore the oppressive force and directly access the inheritance! Those of us with insufficient Soul Power don't even have the qualification to approach the inheritance!"

"Damn it! Did I come all this way for nothing?"

"No! This ruin is vast; besides these core legacies, there must be other opportunities elsewhere! Let's search elsewhere!"

Instantly, the crowd split up. Those whose soul power was clearly insufficient and who could hardly move an inch on the steps, though unwilling, could only grit their teeth and give up. They all transformed into streams of light and explored other directions of the void ruins, searching for possible secondary treasures, divine weapons, or the remains of their predecessors.

The number of people on the steps quickly thinned out. Only about a hundred remained, still persisting upwards. These people were all true prodigies from their respective forces, possessing solid foundations in soul power, at least at the peak of level nine, and some even had glimmering soul power, clearly having reached level ten!

Su Jie stood there, looking up at the spiraling steps and the tempting bubbles at the top, his eyes burning with desire.

His soul power, after these past few days of frantically contemplating that "hair," has reached the peak of level nine, just one step away from level ten! But this barrier is exceptionally strong.

He could feel the pressure of the soul force emanating from the steps. Although it brought pressure, it was also like a whetstone, constantly refining his soul force and making it more condensed!

"A total of one hundred and fifty levels..." Su Jie looked at the steps. At this moment, Luo Qingyi and the others had only reached around level fifty. Level one hundred and fifty—the pressure there was probably extremely terrifying, but it was worth the risk for the breakthrough!

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped onto the first step.

"Buzz!"

An invisible mental pressure descended instantly, crashing against his sea of ​​consciousness like a tidal wave. But this pressure was almost negligible for Su Jie, who was at the peak of the ninth level of soul power.

He continued his ascent without stopping, and began to climb upwards at a steady pace.

Level 10, Level 20, Level 30...

The higher you go, the more the pressure increases exponentially. By level fifty, the pressure becomes tangible, as if countless needles are piercing your soul, and you begin to hear all sorts of chaotic roars and whispers—the interference of your remaining will.

Some geniuses with level nine soul power, but not refined enough, slowed down noticeably here, sweat beading on their foreheads, finding each level extremely difficult.

Su Jie maintained a steady pace. His soul power, forged by the "Myriad Manifestations of Gods and Demons Suppressing Prison Diagram" and nourished by the Spirit Nourishing Technique, was already several times more solid and resilient than others of the same level. This pressure was insufficient to sway him.

His unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of a few outstanding climbers who were still ascending.

"Hmm? Who is that person? Qingyun Academy's attire? I've never seen them before."

"His soul power seems quite strong; he's actually keeping up with our speed?"

"Hmph, all that pretense, he'll get what's coming to him later!"

Su Jie paid no heed; his entire focus was on resisting the pressure and refining his soul power. He could clearly feel his soul power being continuously compressed and purified under the pressure, and the barrier leading to level ten was gradually loosening.
