23: Chaos Star Body, awakening the innate magical power

Time flew by, and in seclusion, there was no sense of time.

The second year.

Su Qingyue came again.

She wanted to tell Gu Qing that two more of the Star God Bodies who came with them had been severely injured by outer disciples and died of their injuries.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing still hadn't emerged from his seclusion.

She hesitated, then spoke to Ji Ning.

But... after confiding, she didn't feel the usual relaxation and joy she typically experienced.

Instead, a strange emotion, a bit of embarrassment, arose.

“You’ll get used to it. Cultivation has always been an act against the heavens, contending with the heavens for destiny, and with people for life. A slight misstep can lead to death and the dissipation of one’s Dao.”

“Cultivators in the world are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, pursuing immortality and freedom one after another, but since ancient times, how many have truly achieved immortality and freedom?”

Ji Ning said indifferently.

However, from her tone, it was not difficult to hear that it was full of bitterness and vicissitudes.

“Senior is right.”

After listening, Su Qingyue silently looked at Gu Qing’s secluded cave dwelling.

After a long time, she left without a word.

“Senior Brother is truly a cultivation fanatic; I can’t be too lazy either.” She made up her mind to seclude herself for a year to comprehend the Lunar Dao Scripture.

A year later, she broke through to the Xuan Dan Realm, and also made up for her own foundation, possessing unparalleled combat power, sweeping away all rivals in the same realm.

Because of this, she also succeeded to the position of Saintess.

Su Qingyue became thoroughly famous in the Star God Temple, with countless suitors.

There were even many renowned prodigies who were willing to become Su Qingyue’s followers.

However, she ignored all of them and came alone to Gu Qing’s cave dwelling.

Over these three years, she had come many times, and each time she sat quietly here for a while, her mood would calm down.

“If Senior Brother would just come out of seclusion, that would be great. He would surely be willing to listen to what I’ve seen and heard, wouldn’t he?” Su Qingyue gazed at the cave dwelling, shrouded by formations, hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see inside.

She muttered to herself, “Senior Brother, our Star God Temple is very large, boundless. There are many secret realms and minor heavens. I’ve been there a few times; they are full of danger, and I got very seriously injured. If it weren’t for the treasures bestowed by my master, I wouldn’t have made it back.”

“Also, everyone who came to the Star God Temple with us has died, except for one, who, I heard, married the daughter of an outer elder.”

“I became the Saintess... I have many suitors, but I don’t like any of them.”

“I can refuse everyone else, but the Saint Son is really too annoying. I can’t chase him away, and I don’t know how to curse people.”

“He sends me cultivation resources every now and then. At first, I returned them, but the more I returned, the more frequently the Saint Son would send them. In a fit of anger, I directly threw them to Hong Hong.”

“Senior Brother, you still don’t know who Hong Hong is, do you? That’s my little pet pig, pink and tender, chubby and very cute...”

“Is this girl treating this place as her spiritual solace?” Ji Ning observed Su Qingyue’s changes with a hint of envy in her heart.

With her rich experience, she naturally understood that Su Qingyue was alone and without relatives here.

The little girl’s heart was in turmoil, and she subconsciously regarded Gu Qing as a source of reliance.

After all, they were fellow disciples, and perhaps in the future, they would accompany each other for life and become Dao Companions.

The so-called Dao Companion does not necessarily mean a husband and wife.

It could be like-minded, mutually trusting fellow disciples, or master-disciple, or close friends, and so on.

Becoming companions on each other's path of cultivation.

“Boom~!”

Just as Su Qingyue was about to get up and leave, a sudden explosion echoed in the sky, Chaos Qi permeated, golden lotuses bloomed in the void, and Dao sounds lingered.

Large stars were born and destroyed in the Chaos.

“What’s going on?”

“What kind of phenomenon is this? Could someone have awakened a Divine Body?”

“Eh, why did the phenomenon disappear? Did the awakening fail?”

The disciples of the Star God Temple asked in confusion, secretly delighted. It was good if the awakening failed.

One less prodigy meant their brilliance would shine a little brighter.

However, only the high-ranking members of the temple knew that it was not a failed awakening at all, but rather that a Saint-level mighty figure had acted to conceal the heavenly secrets.

Just like the last time someone awakened the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, the phenomenon was concealed in an instant.

Those old monsters were secretly cultivating peerless evildoers.

“Senior Ji Ning, is Senior Brother about to achieve complete success?” Su Qingyue asked joyfully.

“It should be.” Even Ji Ning’s usually calm face could not hide her excitement.

“This little fellow’s physique has transformed. The Chaos phenomenon has been added to the original Zhou Tian Star Divine Body phenomenon.”

“Does anyone know what physique he has transformed into?”

“Old Ancestor, you’ve lived the longest and have the highest cultivation, so you must know, right?”

“...”

What the hell does this have to do with living a long time?

It’s not like you haven’t seen the scripture pavilion.

He pondered for a long time and asked, “Zhi Meng, did you give him a Star Fruit?”

Old fox... Zhi Meng mused for a moment, then retorted, “That’s right, could this be related to the Star Fruit?”

Very good, the ball was back in his old hands.

He mused, “As everyone knows, above the Supreme Divine Body are Forbidden Physiques. I think it looks a bit like the phenomenon of a Chaotic Star Body. What do you all think?”

Your “as everyone knows” is quite spiritual.

How could they not know that there were Forbidden Physiques in the world?

“Old Ancestor’s words make sense.”

“Then haven’t we cultivated a Chaotic Star Body, unique throughout the ages?”

Everyone was silent for a moment, then echoed in agreement.

“Hahaha, good. In this golden age, destiny lies with our Star God Temple.”

“Zhi Meng, you must spare no effort in cultivating him.”

The Old Ancestor solemnly exhorted.

“Don’t worry, Old Ancestor, I know what’s important.”

Zhi Meng was speechless internally.

It was nothing more than the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body advancing further, triggering a rare phenomenon.

What kind of nonsense Forbidden Physique? If you don’t know, you don’t know. Is it so hard to admit?

These old geezers were lying in their coffins, avoiding heavenly punishment, with nothing to do all day, and their bragging had reached new heights.

However, to be fair, Gu Qing’s talent truly deserved the destiny of this era.

In the secluded cave dwelling.

Gu Qing successfully achieved Nirvana through fire, and immediately called out to his adoptive father, pulling up his attribute panel.

[Name] Gu Qing!

[Realm] Xuan Dan Realm First Layer!

[Physique] Supreme Dao Bone, Chaotic Star Body (Transforming... 12%)

[Talent] Innate Dao Seed, Unprecedented!

[Fate] Variable.

[Destiny] Unknown.

[Luck] One hundred and five thousand.

[Martial Arts] Lone Goose Halberd Art, Mixed Yuan Unifying Qi Halberd Art, Tiger Soul Halberd Art.

Soaring Dragon Movement Technique, Breath Concealment Art.

[Innate Divine Abilities] Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal, Yin Yang Wheel, Star Picking Hand.

[Magic Treasures] Golden Tiger Halberd, Tiger Soul Halberd, reincarnation divine halberd, Qiankun Sword.

[Cultivation Technique] Chaos Immortal Scripture (Initially Created)

“Three years of seclusion, and the harvest is immense.”

Looking at his attribute panel, Gu Qing felt that it was all worth it.

In the first year, he absorbed all the precious liquids.

While breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm Ninth Layer, his Divine Sea, Undying Celestial Art True Essence, had accumulated to the equivalent of one hundred layers of the Spirit Pool Dantian.

The Zhou Tian Star Art True Essence also accumulated to one hundred layers.

The Yin Yang Origin Qi accumulated to one thousand layers.

At the same time, his physique also underwent a qualitative change, becoming tough enough to rival Yellow-grade magic treasures.

The Dao Bone was also transforming.

Seeing such a foundation, Gu Qing decisively merged the cultivation techniques.

However, merging cultivation techniques was not easy, after all, these were three peerless divine arts. Others would spend their entire lives comprehending just one.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the Dao Bone, it was as if he was immersed in an boundless ocean of Great Dao, constantly in a state of enlightenment, deducing the fusion of the three peerless divine arts.

It only took him one year to merge the Yin Yang Great Dao Song, Undying Celestial Art, and Zhou Tian Star Art.

Of course, it was only an initial creation, but it was enough for him to cultivate to the Refining Spirit Realm.

In the last year, he underwent Nirvana through fire, shed his old body, and transformed into a Chaotic Star Body.

He also awakened his innate divine abilities: Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal, Yin Yang Wheel, and Star Picking Hand.

These three innate divine abilities all originated from the three peerless divine arts.

They emerged during the transformation of his physique.

They had become an innate talent for him, like natural skills.

The Chaos Treasure Bottle Seal possesses infinite power, capable of devouring all things, refining the lifelong knowledge of living beings for his own use, capable of suppressing time and space, and towering above all Daos. This is almost an invincible divine ability.

The Yin Yang Wheel divine ability can brush away all things in the world, assimilating them into Yin Yang origin.

The Star Picking Hand divine ability can cross endless time and space, pluck stars and seize the moon, and slay powerful enemies.

Thinking this, Gu Qing looked inside his Dantian: “Chaotic Profound Pill... merging cultivation techniques was indeed the wisest move.”

Within his immeasurable Dantian, Chaos Qi permeated, and a chaotic-colored Profound Pill floated, emitting profound Chaos Dao rhyme, ancient and mysterious, as if it were the source of the Great Dao.

His Chaotic Profound Pill could cultivate and merge any attribute cultivation technique.

It could unleash any attribute divine ability, and the divine abilities unleashed would only be stronger, not weaker, than those unleashed with matching cultivation techniques.

Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and sent a message to He Ni. “He Ni, have you successfully reshaped your physical body?”

“Not yet, but it’s close, no more than three months at most.” He Ni’s ethereal and otherworldly immortal voice carried a hint of joy.

“Then I wish you success in advance.”

“Mm, thanks to the precious liquid you gave me...”

Gu Qing smiled indifferently. If anyone should be thanking, it was him thanking He Ni.

After all, the Little Thousand Swordplay was a peerless cultivation technique and divine ability, not something that could be exchanged for mere cultivation resources.

He changed the subject: “He Ni, is the Little Thousand Swordplay your innate divine ability? If it’s inconvenient to answer, then never mind.”

“No.” He Ni said indifferently.

“Then if I cultivate the Little Thousand Swordplay, is it possible for me to awaken a sword Dao innate divine ability?”

Gu Qing was a little disappointed.

If the Three Thousand Swordplay was an innate divine ability, then if he cultivated it, perhaps the next time he underwent Nirvana through fire, he could also derive three thousand aperture Cave Heaven and nurture astonishing divine swords.

“Yes!” He Ni answered very affirmatively, then explained.

“Actually, when the Little Thousand Swordplay is cultivated to minor accomplishment, it is already no different from an innate divine ability. Man and sword become one, and as cultivation improves, the power of the divine ability also improves synchronously.”

Hearing this, Gu Qing immediately understood that this was a heaven-defying method.

Moreover, he had the method of Nirvana through fire, the method of breaking out of the cocoon, so perhaps he could undergo Nirvana to become his own innate divine ability, nurturing a peerless divine sword.
