Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Creation Heavenly Scripture Fifth Layer, Tracing the Source.

When Xu Zhangqing's cultivation realm rose from Spirit Transformation to Refining Void, he originally thought he could max out the Creation Heavenly Scripture directly, but unexpectedly he could only ascend from the Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer.

Transforming Things.

With the power of Creation, creating spirit plants and spiritual items out of nothing.

The essence of this layer is "creating something from nothing," equivalent to a method of deducing laws.

Initially, Transforming Things conflicted with the logic of the Yuan Dao.

One creates from nothing, the other catalyzes from existing cycles.

Later, in the Time Rift, after over a thousand years of adjustment, Xu Zhangqing redefined Transforming Things as "using Creation as soil, planting things that do not exist."

No longer creating something from nothing.

But using Creation as the seed, Yuan Dao as the field, recombining and gestating those origins, ultimately "planting" spirit plants and spiritual items.

Tracing the Source.

This layer uses the power of Creation to trace the original state of all things.

Put bluntly, it is actually a means of peering into the laws of time.

The essence of Tracing the Source is "restoration," restoring all things to the Creation origin.

This ability, with a single thought, lets all things revive or return to silence.

If the power of Tracing the Source is infinitely amplified, it could even dismantle an opponent's law system.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Worthy of being the sole cultivation method of the Creation Dao, truly domineering."

If paired with the Creation Six-Piece Set — Heaven and Earth Furnace, Creation Brush, Creation Seal, Creation Pearl, Creation Ruler, Creation Mirror — these means combined would have truly terrifying power.

At this moment, he suddenly began to look forward to the Eternal Night Ruins seven hundred years later.

Master said, there lies the last opportunity and inheritance of the Creation Dao.

……

……

In a flash, over eighty years passed.

Xu Zhangqing sat in the cultivation chamber on the top floor of the Yu Heng Xing Palace.

That natural star core on the dome was projecting the Yu Heng Xing's origin light pillar downwards, golden starlight enveloping him within.

The Shen Guo operated quietly in the depths of the Divine Sea.

The Three Spirit Sacred Tree's rainbow light pierced the sky dome, the Many Children Much Fortune Mother Rice's golden ears swayed gently, the phoenix on the Immortal Phoenix Tree buried its head under its wing dozing.

Eighty-plus years, to mortals is nearly a lifetime, to most cultivators is also not a short span of time.

But to Xu Zhangqing, it was merely a snap of the fingers.

This year, he just turned three hundred years old.

A three-hundred-year-old Refining Void Early Stage, looking across the entire Floating World Four Domains counts as outstanding talent.

Those top sects' core disciples, being able to step into Refining Void at five hundred years old is already rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

But Xu Zhangqing knew clearly in his heart, three hundred years to him is merely a starting point.

Because his lifespan had once again broken through to ten million years.

Therefore, three hundred years is but a trifle in this vast expanse of time.

In these eighty-plus years, Xu Zhangqing not only consolidated his cultivation, the integration of his Yuan Dao Foundation and Shen Guo system also reached perfection day by day.

The operation of Yu Heng Xing's Three Offices ran even more smoothly under his coordination.

Lu Yan of the Spirit Plant Office would send a batch of newly cultivated spiritual herb seeds over every so often.

Fang Wei of the Pill Cauldron Office also gradually figured out his personality, becoming less restrained.

Zhao Jiu of the Wind Thunder Office, still spoke little, but handled affairs most steadily.

As for Master's side, since the last audience, no more verbal edicts were sent.

Rather, Eldest Senior Brother Zhen Yuanzi would occasionally make contact.

Of course, the person who communicated most with Xu Zhangqing was undoubtedly Baili Hong.

Ever since learning this Ninth Junior Brother's wine brewing was peerless, he would come by for a sip from time to time.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from afar: "Star Lord Xu, Gu has arrived!"

The visitor was precisely Gu Chenzhou.

Yao Guang Star Foreign Affairs Office, Deputy Chief Justice.

Back then, the two had made an agreement.

Xu Zhangqing would help him ripen the Tianhe Yueji Flower, and he owed Xu Zhangqing a favor.

The Tianhe Yueji Flower normally requires a thousand years to bloom; now eighty years have passed, still some distance from the agreed hundred-year deadline.

However, the Tianhe Yueji Flower in Xu Zhangqing's hands had already completed more than one round of maturation within the Shen Guo.

Ever since moving the rare spirit plants from the Spirit Field into the Shen Guo, under the multiple blessings of the Many Children Much Fortune Mother Rice, the Three Spirit Sacred Tree's three-system laws, the Five-Colored Earth's nurturing, the complete cycle of four seasons, the growth speed of all spirit plants reached an exaggerated degree unimaginable in the outside world.

The Nine-Revolution Star Grass had long since completed nine revolutions to perfection.

Inside the stem of the Star Core Purple Chen Seed, the internal star core had already swollen to the size of a fist.

The Rift Universe Star Pupil Flower, each opening and closing produced space rifts that could envelop the entire Shen Guo's core area within.

Especially the root system of the Ten Thousand Calamities Star Core Wood, which even more covers nearly one-third of the Shen Guo's area.

As for the Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower.

There is not just one plant in the Shen Guo, and moreover every single one has already bloomed.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing's figure flickered, shifting out of the Xing Gong.

The moment he appeared, his gaze swept back and forth over Gu Chenzhou.

The other party still wore the standard law robes of the Yao Guang Xing Foreign Affairs Office, but the law robe was obviously a full size larger than when they last met.

No, that's not right.

It wasn't that the law robe grew larger, but that he grew thinner.

Hair completely white, face aged.

Especially the death qi permeating his body, unknown how many times thicker than at their first meeting.

Only a mere few decades have passed, yet a Refining Void Perfection cultivator has actually been eroded by time into this state.

As expected, time appears formless and shapeless, yet is more ruthless than any magic treasure.

Gu Chenzhou raised his head, his gaze pausing on Xu Zhangqing's face for an instant, a trace of surprise flashing in those slightly turbid eyes.

He remembered very clearly, a few decades ago, this young man was merely at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Looking again now, the other party's qi mechanism was already unfathomable.

Even his own Refining Void Perfection divine sense could only probe to a layer of faint, barely-there barrier.

Over the decades, Gu Chenzhou has only been growing older, while Xu Zhangqing has only been growing stronger.

However, he no longer had any spare energy to lament.

The purpose of this trip was only one thing: the Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower!

Xu Zhangqing did not exchange pleasantries.

He opened the restrictions and spirit arrays one by one, revealing the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field inside.

The spirit plants previously planted and cultivated are now all inside, and moreover all have matured.

Seeing this, Gu Chenzhou's eyes emitted a brilliant light.

The mature Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower has moon-white petals, and the edge of every petal is condensed with a layer of extremely thin transparent liquid.

That liquid rolls slowly on the petals, yet never drips down.

Moreover, it constantly emits a faint, barely perceptible fragrance.

Those are the Moon Marrow Heaven Dew.

Every single drop contains a wisp of extremely pure Great Yin Law.

After a Water Spirit Root cultivator drinks it, they will enter a special state called Tianhe Enlightenment.

The divine soul produces a brief resonance with the Great Yin Law in the Tianhe, and all bottlenecks in cultivation and gaps in laws will be filled one by one by the Great Yin Law.

Locked barriers and shackles can be easily broken open.

As for realm breakthrough, one can refine a Breakthrough Pill to increase the probability.

But for an old cultivator like Gu Chenzhou who has lingered at the Unity threshold for unknown how many years, this is the final stake.

Either succeed, or die!
