Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Fifth Layer, Tracing the Source.
Trace all things back to their original state, restoring them to the source of creation.
Speaking of this ability, it is mysterious beyond mystery, but only after truly mastering it did Xu Zhangqing understand what it meant.
Not attack.
Not defense.
But a near-source insight.
With this ability of insight, all things in the world no longer hold secrets before him.
And the first thing he thought of was Ji Chen.
That golden Semi-Gaseous Crystal discovered during the heavenly dewfall.
It is everywhere, yet no one has deeply studied it.
Han Qing said this is a gift from the Great Dao Venerable.
But Xu Zhangqing never believed pies fall from the sky.
An existence at the level of the Great Dao Venerable must have a purpose in doing things.
Is the so-called gift truly a gift, or is there some deeper meaning?
After much thought, Xu Zhangqing decided to see for himself.
He did not rise, but simply swept his Divine Sense outward.
Outside the Bamboo Hut, the Spirit Fields were thick with starlight at night, faint Spirit Mist filled the air, and countless fine water vapors hovered among the grass leaves.
At this moment, Xu Zhangqing's mind stirred.
A drop of heavenly dew flew out from the Lingti, passed through the bamboo window, and landed steadily above his palm, then hovered quietly.
Moonlight shone on the heavenly dew, making this drop of transparent water look like liquid crystal.
Starlight streamed through the gaps in the bamboo window from another angle, refracting a layer of extremely faint Blue Fluorescence on the surface of the heavenly dew.
One bright, one dark, one gold, one blue.
The two lights intertwined, making this seemingly ordinary drop of heavenly dew, in the Bamboo Hut so quiet only breathing remained, seem to have condensed the entire Star Sky.
Like a dream and an illusion, truly beautiful.
Xu Zhangqing stared at this drop of heavenly dew for a moment.
Then he activated the Fifth Layer of the Creation Heavenly Scripture.
Tracing the Source!
The moment the Cultivation Method activated, the Creation Power within his body began to flow in a way completely different from before.
No roar.
No phenomenon.
Only an extreme quiet.
As if the entire world had suddenly been paused.
In the depths of Xu Zhangqing's pupils, a wisp of extremely faint dark gold light slowly brightened.
The light was not dazzling, but rather like a filter covering his vision.
Then, under the effect of this filter, everything before his eyes changed.
The walls of the Bamboo Hut were no longer walls, but original wood grain patterns, each traceable to the moment a certain bamboo shoot broke through the earth hundreds of years ago.
The ground beneath his feet was no longer ground, but a mixture of accumulated dust and Spiritual Energy.
The air around him turned into extremely fine, translucent streams.
They were no longer illusory Qi, but were broken down into countless visible fine threads, slowly flowing and swirling within the Bamboo Hut.
As for this drop of heavenly dew hovering above his palm, it completely changed its appearance.
Xu Zhangqing raised his other hand, and his index finger and thumb lightly pinched.
Not pinching the water droplet, but making a virtual pinch above it.
Instantly, Creation Power surged from his fingertips, transforming into countless threads finer than hair, probing into the interior of the heavenly dew.
Then he lightly pulled once more.
The next second, the heavenly dew decomposed before him.
Clearly just a drop of water.
But under the vision of Tracing the Source, this drop of water was decomposed into thirty-six thousand particles.
Each particle clearly visible.
Of these, thirty-five thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine were normal water molecules mixed with Spiritual Energy.
Crystal clear, emitting Blue Fluorescence.
This is the composition of the heavenly dew itself.
And the remaining one particle is Ji Chen.
It looks very stable, overall almost unchanged.
At this moment, Xu Zhangqing's attention was entirely focused on the Ji Chen.
He extended his left hand index finger, separately peeling out the golden Ji Chen and letting it hover above all the other particles.
Then, within the Tracing the Source vision, the Dust finally revealed its true appearance.
It was actually a grain of sand.
But not ordinary sand.
Its surface was smooth to the extreme, without any edges or corners, without any flaws.
It looked like a pebble that had been scoured by water flow for hundreds of millions of years, then shrunk countless times.
Its color was also not gold, but more like the last trace of sunlight at dusk, then solidified in this instant.
Xu Zhangqing probed the Creation Power into the interior of the Dust.
Then, he froze.
Inside the Dust, there was no Structure.
There was nothing that could be called "material composition".
Its interior was actually a line.
No, to be precise, it was a severed Timeline.
Both ends of this Timeline had been severed by someone with supreme mighty power; after being severed, this remaining small segment was sealed inside this grain of Dust.
Moreover, it was precisely because of this small segment of sealed Timeline that this grain of Dust possessed properties beyond imagination.
Stability.
Absolute stability.
Like dropping a Divine River-Stilling Needle into a ceaselessly rushing Great River.
The river water still flows, but the water surface has had no waves since.
Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood.
Why the Beidou Star Domain had no strong winds, no rainstorms, no hail, no frost.
Why the Yu Heng Xing's Four Seasons Transformation was weak to the point of near non-existence.
Why all unstable factors in this Star Domain had been smoothed away.
It was not because the Daodao Zun had laid down some grand array.
Nor was it because the Immortal Mansion Hub's regulation was so exquisite.
But because of the Dust!
These imperceptible Golden Particles, along with the heavenly dew, air, and Spiritual Energy, had infiltrated every corner of the Beidou Star Domain.
Every drop of water contained Dust.
Every trace of wind contained Dust.
Every inch of soil contained Dust.
On the level of time, they anchored every unstable variable one by one.
Temperature would not fluctuate violently, because the Timeline was stabilized.
Weather would not change abruptly, because the Timeline was stabilized.
Even the flow of Spirit Veins was constrained within an extremely gentle range.
This is the Daodao Zun's bestowal!
It is not some nutrient that can be absorbed, not some Spiritual Power that can be refined.
But a kind of mighty power.
A mighty power that scattered sand grains from the long river of time across the entire Star Domain, fixing the changes of all things with one person's power.
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing was silent for a long time.
Never in ten thousand years did he expect that merely dissecting a grain of Dust would actually uncover the Daodao Zun's secret, uncover the truth of the Beidou Star Domain's stability.
Not long after, he suddenly moved.
He poured Creation Power into that grain of Dust, but this time not to trace back, but to attempt to influence it with his own power.
The Dust's stability came from that sealed segment of Timeline.
And that segment of Timeline was itself a kind of Creation.
Or rather, also a part of Creation.
All things are born from Creation.
Time is no exception.
Xu Zhangqing's Creation Power can act upon everything derived from Creation.
Therefore, when the Creation Power touched the Timeline inside the Dust, a change that Xu Zhangqing had completely not anticipated occurred!
