Chapter 17: The Ocean of Knowledge is Heavy as the Heavens (Second Update)

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's two corpses, Zhao Lian's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He exclaimed excitedly: "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be able to release your aura now. You might have already opened up all the meridians in your body, and even your physical body has been tempered to be quite strong."

  Zhao Zhuo reached out and pinched Zhao Luan's nose, smiling as he said: "You're just a rough diamond, but maybe you can barely compare to those family elite young masters."

  Zhao Luan said: "My second brother can reach the state of Quan Ti Da Yuan Man in just one day, how can those family children compare to him?"

  He reached out and rubbed Zhao Shuo's head, and Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Big brother, let's do things according to our previous plan."

  "Alright, don't worry, you guys be careful too, I'm going back now."

  Watching Zhao Feng leave, only Zhao Zhuo and Zhao Luan were left in the narrow gap. Holding Zhao Luan's hand, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "Let's go, big brother will take you to a good place."

  The aura was released, and Zhao Zhuo protected Zhao Lian as he slowly opened the seawater to enter the nest of the green python. For the first time in the nest of the green python, Zhao Lian looked at the night pearls all along the way and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  After entering the main chamber of the sea cave, Zhao Luan smiled and said: "This is indeed as Second Brother said, it must be a place where an ancient great divine cultivator cultivated, that green python can't open up such a cave"

  Sitting on a displaced futon that had been moved by the green python, Zhao Zhuo pointed with one hand, and instantly the Tianji Star Map he had obtained earlier appeared in mid-air, emitting a faint, hazy starlight like a tattered scroll.

  Zhao Luan took a glance and couldn't help but exclaim: "Heavenly Star Chart, I didn't think we could also obtain a Heavenly Inheritance Star Chart!"

  "Alright, sit down quickly. Fortunately, I've already refined this star chart; otherwise, with my current cultivation level, I really wouldn't have been able to help you open your spiritual aperture."

  Zhao Luan sat down and smiled: "Wanting to drive a heavenly-level inheritance star chart isn't that easy!"

  As soon as Zhao Lian sat down, Zhao Shuo gathered his mind and spat out a mouthful of vital blood. The vital blood merged into the Heavenly Inheritance Star Chart, causing it to suddenly become turbulent. The endless stars on the star chart lit up rapidly, each emitting a beam of starlight that converged onto the drop of vital blood. Gradually, the drop of vital blood became blurry, as if tiny points of starlight were shining through from within.

  Zhao Duo exerted his full strength to operate the Northern Ming Tian Xuan Di, frantically absorbing the yuan force and pouring it into the star chart to drive the inheritance of the star chart. The power of his entire body was mobilized and poured into the inherited star chart. However, despite this, the inherited star chart seemed like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring Zhao Duo's strength. If things continued like this, before he could even help Zhao Luan complete the star chart inheritance, Zhao Duo would likely be drained dry by the inherited star chart.

  But as the saying goes, "Great difficulties do not kill, there must be good fortune afterwards." Zhao Zhuo and his companions were able to slay the dragon that was supposed to appear with the law, obviously they were people with great luck. Just when Zhao Zhuo couldn't hold on anymore, the Yin-Yang wheel of fortune in his dantian suddenly accelerated, and the surrounding heavenly energy converged towards him tenfold, a hundredfold.

  Feeling the immense power pouring into his body, even his sturdy physique couldn't help but transmit a thread of pain, which showed just how fast the surging energy was entering his body.

  Zhao Duo endured the faint pain spreading throughout his body, slightly relaxed and focused all his energy on infusing power into the Star Map of Inheritance. Gradually, the originally crimson essence transformed into a crystal-clear star-like object, shining brightly. Seeing this, Zhao Duo's face revealed a hint of joy, and he muttered to himself before the radiant blood bead disappeared into Zhao Lian's spotless brow.

  At the moment when the blood bead entered Zhao Lian's brow, Zhao Lian's body trembled slightly. In his sea of consciousness, an experience similar to Zhao Chun's transmission of the star map was taking place. However, unlike Zhao Chun who had a fragment of the Heavenly Star Map transmission, Zhao Lian only had a drop of essence blood that contained the Heavenly Star Map transmission, and its effect was naturally far inferior to Zhao Chun's.

  When Zhao Lian's spiritual aperture is opened, the star map of the sea of recognition forms, and the ancestral image of the original spirit emerges like a virtual shadow. In the lower abdomen, a thread of yuan force begins to gather, slowly preparing for the formation of the dan Tian fa xiang in the future.

  The Xīng Hǎi Xīng Zhǐ Líng Quán Kāi Qǐ De Xīng Hǎi Chóng Tiān, also known as Star Gazing, is a sign of entering the ranks of practitioners and a manifestation of spiritual level.

  The Primordial Spirit and Ancestral Aspect are one. The Primordial Spirit, also known as the Ancestral Aspect, is where the cultivator's origin lies. It can be void or substantial, roaming freely in the void, comprehending the grand dao of heaven and earth. The Ancestral Aspect does not perish, and life does not decay.

  The Dantian Fa Xiang, also known as the Fa Xiang, is a concentrated combat Fa Xiang transformed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth. It can suppress the spiritual orifices of all heavens and is where the cultivator's power resides.

  Pale-faced Zhao Huo took in the fragments of the Star Chart, slowly calming down. The Northern Darkness swallowed the sky and earth, turning the wheels of operation, as the primordial energy between heaven and earth slowly gathered towards Zhao Huo.

  It was unknown how much time had passed when Zhao Zhuang opened his eyes, the feeling of emptiness and weakness throughout his body had disappeared, filled with strength.

  A pair of bright eyes stared at Zhao Zhuo. Seeing that Zhao Zhuo had woken up, Zhao Luan joyfully said: "Second brother, you're awake!"

  Zhao Duo looked up and down at Zhao Luan, smiling: "Hmmm, the astrological signs, ancestral signs have been born, and the law signs are being nurtured. The three signs are already fully gathered, and the spiritual orifices are as heavy as eight heavenly levels. Heavenly-level spiritual orifices... what level you'll reach in the future depends on yourself."

  Zhao Zhuang passed on Beiming Fudi and many other secret methods and cultivation knowledge to Zhao Luan.

  Zhao Luan clenched his fists and said: "Second brother, rest assured, Luan'er will definitely cultivate with all his heart and not bring shame to second brother."

  As he spoke, Zhao Lian presented the treasure-like Star Map of Myriad Things, which had just been briefly refined and absorbed into his body. The Star Map of Myriad Things floated above Zhao Lian's head, emitting a mysterious aura.

  "Second brother, look! This move is really powerful!"

  Zhao Duo lightly smiled and said: "That's natural, this is a top-grade spiritual artifact. With this treasure in hand, ordinary Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators can hardly escape the Star Chart's capture. However, it's not the fault of the common man that he possesses a precious jade, but rather the crime lies with the precious jade itself. Top-grade spiritual artifacts will even make Law Domain or Divine Sense cultivators covet them, so don't casually reveal it in front of people."

  He nodded heavily and said, "I know that. They will work hard to cultivate themselves and will definitely become an undying existence like Fa Xiang Qi in the future."

  Zhao Duo listened to Zhao Luan's words, his eyes deep and mysterious, his voice ethereal as he said: "Attaining the Dharmakaya stage can achieve immortality, but even the great gods who can overturn the heavens and earth cannot escape downfall. To become a truly immortal and imperishable existence, one must attain the supreme Dharmakaya stage..."
