Chapter 134: Automatic Unsealing
Ten years of time flowed, and Zhou Yi with twelve precelestial humans sealed themselves in the Kunlun secret realm.
They observed the flight paths of birds across the sky, copied the mysterious patterns of cracked turtle shells, and blended the rhythms of wind, rain, thunder and lightning into symbols.
When the first Human Race character "Yi" manifested on the turtle shell, the heavens suddenly flashed with multicolored glow, and the ground exhaled the fragrant scent of golden lotuses.
"From now on, our joys and sorrows, separations and reunions will be carved into the river of time!" Zhou Yi raised the turtle shell engraved with pictographs, and thunderous cheers shook the sea of clouds.
Far beyond the thirty‑three layers of heaven, in the Nüwa Palace, the five‑colored stone in the hands of the Nv Wa Sheng Ren suddenly radiated brilliance, reflecting the splendid scene of Human Race characters flowing across the Honghuang vast land.
The firmament suddenly surged with vast golden light of merit, pouring down like a reversed Milky Way, and scattering onto Zhou Yi and the precelestial humans who were in charge of creating characters.
This phenomenon was more magnificent than the previous two; the pillar of merit above Zhou Yi's head was over three times thicker, yet he still let it hover three inches above the celestial spirit.
The precelestial human who bent down to forge characters had Dao resonance surge around his body; the moment merit entered his flesh, the shackles of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal realm shattered explosively, his cultivation surged like a breached river, and in less than a half‑cup of tea's time he entered the Great Luo realm, the law Dao patterns flowing in his robes dazzling onlookers.
The mysterious yellow stone slab bearing the Human Race characters transformed in the baptism of merit, its whole body coursing with profound Dao patterns, and astonishingly became a treasured relic that safeguards the clan.
"Seeing your skill in forging characters and shaping creation, I grant you the surname 'Cang', meaning 'holding the brush to set heaven and earth, ink to guard mountains and rivers'." As Zhou Yi finished speaking, a Great Dao bell rang hidden between heaven and earth.
The newly ascended Great Luo precelestial deity bowed solemnly: "Cang Wen clan thanks the Human Ancestor for the bestowed name!" The voice shook the four corners, and the masses roared.
Three times, heavenly merit descended, elevating three Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the ancestral land of the Human Race boiled like a cauldron.
The elders who had previously doubted Zhou Yi flushed red, now realizing the princess's far‑reaching scheme; who dares claim these three revelations are the limit? If another opportunity arises, could the Human Race not produce even more peak warriors?
The tribal conflicts that had been simmering were all extinguished before this resplendent heavenly might.
The mighty forces of the Vast Wilderness World turned their gazes, the twelve Tongtian pillars of the Wu Clan's ancestral shrine flickered uncertainly, and the Demon Court's celestial star array moved without wind.
The lingering remnants of the ancient Chaos demon gods also rippled in the void as the Human Race's fortune surged.
In the depths of the Eastern Sea, a saint who held the heavenly mechanism lightly stroked his long beard and rearranged the turtle shell in his hand.
Zhou Yi now stared at the golden torrent churning in the sea of consciousness: "The spark of civilization ignites, Heavenly Destiny Points have broken through 26,000 barriers."
As the system screen flickered, he decisively exchanged for a treasure of the Zhetian world.
The ethereal image of the Bodhi ancient tree manifested from the void, its three thousand wise branches draped with Dao resonance, leading him into an even more profound realm of enlightenment.
"Sixteen thousand fortunes remain; I shall seek blessings for my clan." Zhou Yi, before entering meditation, waved his sleeve to cast a temporal barrier; three days passed outside while three years elapsed within the formation.
When he opened his eyes again, the shackles of the Earth Immortal realm had long been shattered, the principles flowing around him faintly manifested an imperial aura. Meanwhile, the mysterious yellow jade slab held by the Cang Wen clan projected a ten‑thousand‑foot river of civilization above the ancestral temple.
Cultivation System Decoded: The Extraordinary Significance of the Xian Tai Secret Realm
Within the celestial cultivation systems there is a common understanding that the Xian Tai secret realm differs fundamentally from the other four great secret realms.
If the first four secret realms such as Wheel Sea and Dao Palace are the cornerstones that build a cultivator's foundation, then the Xian Tai secret realm represents the starting point for breakthroughs into higher dimensions.
Even after perfect cultivation of the first four secret realms, it is still insufficient to reach the true threshold of the Dao of Immortals in the vast Honghuang world.
The correspondence principles of realms show that when a cultivator ascends to the first level of Xian Tai, the corresponding Dao rank equals that of an Earth Immortal.
As the realm rises to the second level of Xian Tai, its power can already rival that of a Heavenly Immortal.
Even more astonishing, when reaching the profound domain of the sixth heaven of Xian Tai, a cultivator directly leaps to the Golden Immortal rank, a status regarded as top‑tier across all heavens and realms.
The cultivation iron law of the Zhetian world shows that the difficulty of breaking through the Xian Tai secret realm grows exponentially.
Throughout history, countless prodigies have been locked before the barriers of realms, and even exhausting millennia of longevity cannot glimpse the breakthrough opportunity.
This cruel cultivation reality makes every cultivator tread on thin ice when confronting Xian Tai.
Although Zhou Yi, bearing the ancient saint's body, holds the Imperial Scripture inheritance that best fits him, he dares not be presumptuous.
In the system shop, he decisively locked onto a crucial item, the Bodhi ancient tree that contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Spending 8,000 Heavenly Destiny Points to obtain this immortal divine elixir, a sudden transformation occurred: the previously obscure script's profound meanings surged forth like tides, and many of his past cultivation blockages cleared.
"This is the creative power of the immortal divine elixir," Zhou Yi murmured, stroking the tree's body that pulsed with Dao resonance.
After temporarily putting away the treasure, his gaze was drawn again to another shocking scripture.
The "Nine Secrets True Explanation", created by the nine great heavenly lords, is a priceless classic worth 8,000 Heavenly Destiny Points, encompassing the nine true techniques such as the Battle‑Ready Fighter; each method represents humanity's ultimate breakthrough in a field, and is hailed as the pinnacle of Human Race cultivation civilization.
Within the vast cosmic laws of Zhetian, an ancient legend about the nine great secrets is passed down; when the true essence of the Nine Secrets is fully comprehended, it marks the day an invincible being transcending space‑time shackles is born.
This supreme path, containing the true essence of the Great Dao, has each form bearing the creator's lifelong effort.
Zhou Yi stared at the golden‑glowing exchange option on the system panel; the Heavenly Destiny Points turned into flowing light and surged into the void, and nine jade slips engraved with primeval runes suddenly appeared.
"So mysterious…" he lightly brushed the three floating jade slips in his palm, his spirit scanning the sealed cosmic principles within.
The jade slip bearing the "Bing" formula erupted with a resonant clang, and the phantom of the Primeval Heavenly Lord manifested in the sea of consciousness as an image of ten thousand troops submitting.
When this technique reaches its consummate stage, even grass, wood, sand and stone can become god‑slaying weapons; even the supreme imperial weapons cannot escape its control, as if wielding the souls of ten thousand soldiers.
The "Dou" formula instead conjures countless phantom images of heavenly lords, and as the fingertips flow, it simultaneously performs seventy‑two sacred attack arts.
This war‑proving Dao secret can turn all things of heaven and earth into weapons; thunder and rain conceal lethal intent, making it the ultimate technique that shatters all methods.
What most astonished Zhou Yi was the "Zhe" formula. When the longevity heavenly lord's Dao resonance flowed through the meridians, the hidden wounds from previous trials healed at a visibly rapid pace.
A master of this technique, even in the darkest moment when body and soul are destroyed, can reshape the true form with a wisp of qi, and the ever‑renewing creative power far surpasses immortal pills and elixirs.
The system screen suddenly rippled, and the remaining two jade slips automatically unlocked.
The vibration of the "Jie" character caused the entire space to tremble, and the nine‑layer heavenly power left by the Imperial Lord surged like raging waves.
Although the trigger is elusive, the moment a hundredfold combat power erupts, it can overturn the galaxy and reverse heaven and earth.
The final "Xing" secret transformed into a flash of light that entered his brow center, and the carefree Heavenly Lord's shattered time‑space afterimage surfaced deep within his consciousness.
When speed surpasses the limits of time, one can traverse star domains in an instant, and legend says that a master of this technique can even reach the forbidden realm of the river of time.
