CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: WITNESS THE GODS, WITNESS ALL BEINGS, WITNESS ALL MAJESTIC MYSTERIES!

All things return to the Taiyin, all buried in the Great Moon, the entire universe collapses at this moment, crumbles, and is ultimately entirely buried by the infinitely majestic Great Moon.

Under such majesty, Su Tu’s heart and spirit seemed like a mayfly, rootless, aimless, pulling him from the god’s perspective to the human world.

The heart and spirit, consciousness, were all overshadowed by boundless gloom at this moment, as if they, along with this universe, would sink into the void.

However, facing all this, he wasn’t overwhelmed by fear or panic, but carried an inexplicable composure, as if everything in the world should indeed be buried by the Great Moon.

As heavenly truth, as universal law.

Just as his heart and spirit were about to sink into the void.

Hum~

A faint point of light emerged above Su Tu’s heart and spirit, and his consciousness returned to normal at this moment.

"What happened to me just now?"

Su Tu felt that in that moment just now, his perception was distorted by some force, making him feel that being buried on the Great Moon was the ultimate happiness.

If not for that point of light appearing, he would have truly sunk into this nothingness.

As his consciousness cleared, the point of light expanded continuously, and finally, under its illumination, Su Tu entered into his own realm.

Heishan, Twin Moons, White Tiger, Cyan Snake, this realm acted like an anchor point, pulling Su Tu’s consciousness back.

Then, a repulsive force emerged, bouncing him out of his own realm.

"Huff!!"

"Huff huff!!"

Su Tu suddenly opened his eyes, greedily breathing in the air, like a drowning man reaching the shore. At this moment, he finally escaped that sense of deathly solitude and the ’void feeling’ of all beings buried under the moon.

If not for his own realm waking him up, he even doubted if he could wake from it at all.

"Did you collect the Dao of Taiyin?" Zhou Wuliang’s voice came from above.

Only then did Su Tu look up and glance around. At this moment, in the room, only Zhou Wuliang and he were left.

Hearing Zhou Wuliang’s question, Su Tu tried to imagine the Taiyin Divine Wonders, and immediately a wheel of pale Great Moon appeared in his heart and spirit.

"Yes, I can already perceive the Divine Wonders above my heart and spirit." Su Tu spoke, according to what Li Hu said before, this is the mark of successfully collecting the Dao.

"Not bad, the Divine Wonders within this Secret Painting is True God Taiyin, although it only has a fragment of divine charm, it is still a superior collection Dao. The moonlight can enhance perception, Taiyin can overshadow the world, and the rest of the wonders need your own comprehension."

"The cultivation of the heart and spirit can only be guided during the initial entry; the rest of the cultivation relies solely on yourself."

Zhou Wuliang spoke earnestly to Su Tu.

Heart and Spirit cultivation is difficult at entry, even harder to deepen!

Aside from entry, all cultivation and tempering rely on oneself. Everyone’s insights in Heart and Spirit cultivation are different; others’ insights are useless for one’s practice and can even mislead.

Therefore, the cultivation of the heart and spirit relies solely on oneself; those with extraordinary talent rise to divinity, while the mundane fall to dust. This is why the heart and spirit are called the field of geniuses.

Su Tu listened earnestly to Zhou Wuliang’s guidance, then spoke with a guilty tone.

"Teacher, I did not intentionally collect the Dao, I was just attracted by the Secret Painting, and unconsciously entered into it!"

Even though Li Hu brought him here for the purpose of collection Dao.

But when Zhou Wuliang had not yet agreed, he was already attracted by the Secret Painting, collecting the Dao without permission is considered stealing. Even if the thing will belong to you, it should not be taken before the time comes.

Therefore, Su Tu apologized for the act of collecting the Dao just now.

"It’s alright, you are my student, this Secret Painting was originally intended to be passed on to you, but considering your heart and spirit’s vast issue at the time, it was postponed. I didn’t expect your heart and spirit talent to be even stronger than the physical body’s qualifications.

It was my oversight that delayed you."

Zhou Wuliang spoke with a smile, indeed not concerned about Su Tu’s actions, but the fact that the other party had this awareness made him appreciate Su Tu even more.

"I heard from Tiger that you can enter your own realm now?"

"I think so. My heart and spirit can enter a special space which is the scene of the Secret Painting I first saw inside."

Su Tu spoke truthfully.

Hearing these words, Zhou Wuliang felt shocked. Even though Li Hu had already explained the events of the past two days to him while Su Tu was immersed in collecting the Dao.

But hearing it from the person involved still felt astonishing and unprecedented.

Even someone like him, who had traversed many stars, had only heard of geniuses at this level; seeing one firsthand was a first.

He didn’t inquire about which Secret Painting Su Tu first collected the Dao from, as Heart and Spirit cultivation is inherently very private.

"Alright, I originally intended for you to attend school to improve your heart and spirit, but it seems unnecessary now. Starting tomorrow, request a leave of absence from school, as the martial examination documents are about to be issued."

"Alright."

Su Tu heard this, and felt somewhat complicated; being a high achiever, he had to take a long leave before the college entrance exam, which was somewhat akin to a Reversed Celestial Spirit.

However, having stepped into this mysterious world, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate or turn back.

"You have already begun to dabble in Mind-Body Techniques, and you have truly entered cultivation. Your talent is high, but you must not slack off because of this. The world is vast, and the Ancestor Star is too small. With your aptitude, you are qualified to see the cosmos of myriad races and all the stars, do not linger here."

Normally speaking, Zhou Wuliang should find the student’s cultivation path after the student shows talent; Mind-Body Techniques should be honed and the strengths should be refined, supplementing any weak points.

But the special part about Su Tu is that he had no weaknesses; his physical body mastered the mysterious Basic Skill in a second, grasped the Prajna Seven Kills First Layer with one look into the Secret Painting Collection Dao book — it was all strengths, no weak points.

As long as Su Tu doesn’t slack off and cultivates normally, Zhou Wuliang believes that with his talent, the Ancestor Star would only be his brilliant first step.

"I understand, teacher!"

Su Tu answered seriously; it took him great effort to see this world of wonder, and talent was just his springboard.

He wanted to see the gods, see all beings, see everything majestic and mysterious!

"Alright, go cultivate then."

Zhou Wuliang waved his hand, and Su Tu walked out; practicing Basic Skill early was also a good thing.

He walked out of the room, but as he closed the door, his movements halted slightly.

But soon, he closed the door and went to the Body Tempering Hall to cultivate.

Zhou Wuliang watched Su Tu’s departing back, a few elusive expressions on his thin face, unexpectedly encountering such a prodigy on the Ancestor Star.

Mind-Body Techniques were all talents and prodigies, truly a pity... truly a pity...

"This student of yours is extraordinary." A harsh voice sounded.

"In the future, you had better be careful. This child’s Heart and Spirit talent is exceptional, and he might discover you; don’t let him perceive you as an enemy, lest he deals with you." Zhou Wuliang said.

The figure shrouded in black mist laughed dismissively: "Hehe, he is indeed a prodigy, living through the Suffering of Samsara, already constructing his own world, but intentionally hidden under my intentions, he still cannot sense my existence."

Zhou Wuliang did not speak, merely took a sip of tea, and another, and another, and then...

Su Tu arrived at the Body Tempering Room, where Luo Fan and others were already practicing Basic Skill. Su Tu found a spot and began to cultivate as well.

With his heart and spirit silent, he assumed the posture for Basic Skill, directing Qi throughout his body, continually tempering himself.

"Was there a wave just now in the room? Is there another person in the teacher’s room?" Su Tu narrowed his eyes, and as he left the room, he felt a wave of Heart and Spirit emanation, right at the side of the teacher.

"The teacher has a big background and some secrets, which is normal."

Su Tu didn’t think much of it, and was immersed in cultivation. Cultivating Immortal Burial could instantly enhance Body Strengthening Proficiency, this feeling made him reluctant to stop.

After opening eleven apertures, he noticeably felt that when cultivating Basic Skill, the flow of Qi was faster and the quality of Qi was higher.

Soon, he was completely focused on Immortal Burial.

[Cultivated Immortal Burial for 20 minutes, blood and Qi surged, Body Strengthening Proficiency +20]

[Cultivated for....]

[Cultivated Immortal Burial for 80 minutes, Qi shook throughout the body, Body Strengthening Proficiency +20]

[Strengthen Body (Middle Tier): 582/1000]

Until Su Tu felt his physical body reach its limit, he disassociated from this state.

"The duration of cultivation has lengthened."

After opening eleven apertures, the duration of Immortal Burial extended from 60 minutes to 80 minutes, able to provide higher proficiency gains.

Calculated in this manner, before the martial test, Strengthen Body could advance to the High Tier.

The Middle Tier skills had already brought him a profound transformation; it was unimaginable what kind of change reaching High Tier would bring him.

Thinking of this, Su Tu couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

He finished his training and was about to hone his techniques.

Suddenly, a voice called out to him, and he saw Luo Fan approaching him.

"Su Tu!"

"Is there something you need?" Su Tu looked at the young man in front of him. Since arriving at the martial hall, the two hadn’t really interacted much, and even in the group chat, the two were both silent observers. The opposite now approaching him must have something.

"I wish to request something of you." Luo Fan’s expression was serious, as if he had made up his mind.

Su Tu looked at Luo Fan, not knowing what trick the other had up his sleeve. Coming from New Star and being of notable origin, what would require asking for a favor from an ordinary person like himself?

"What is it, please say."

"I want to ask you to have a match with me, without using cultivation, only technique. I know this request might be abrupt, and even if you refuse, I understand." Luo Fan spoke sincerely.
