Chapter 19: with translation of chapter title

Having obtained the Thirty-three Heavenly Sands, there are no further opportunities.

Chen Ku no longer hesitated; he leapt forward and directly returned to the side of Jieyin and Zhunti.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti had already gathered an astonishing amount of star sand.

Seeing this, Chen Ku smiled and said:

"Hehe, it seems Master and Uncle have also reaped a bountiful harvest."

Hearing this, Jieyin likewise showed a smile and responded:

"Although this star sand is not exceptionally precious, its advantage lies in being endless."

"We can consider this trip not in vain."

"Not bad!"

The huge quantity of star sand also made up for the slight regret of its low grade, so Jieyin was not overly disappointed.

Meanwhile, Zhunti, curious, asked in return:

"You brat, you ignored the star sand and wandered about for a long time."

"But did you find any great opportunity?!"

While speaking, Zhunti sized up Chen Ku from head to toe.

Hearing this, Chen Ku secretly laughed inside, but showed no trace on his face, even putting on a bitter expression.

"Alas, bitter..."

"Uncle also saw that, besides the endless star sand, there is nothing else to harvest in this outer heaven."

"I, the disciple, also returned empty-handed."

Chen Ku thought that if he revealed he had obtained the Thirty-three Heavenly Sands, his uncle Zhunti would surely pester him for various demands.

Thinking of Zhunti's shameless, even groveling demeanor, Chen Ku felt a great headache.

Thus, for now he did not tell the truth.

As for comprehending great divine abilities, his heaven-defying comprehension is his greatest trump card and secret, so he naturally could not tell Jieyin and Zhunti.

However, hearing his words, Zhunti appeared half‑believing, half‑doubting, and continued to scrutinize Chen Ku.

He had long experienced the 'shamelessness' of this disciple‑nephew of his.

"This brat wouldn't be hiding something and eating it all himself, would he?!"

After a long while, Zhunti saw nothing unusual on Chen Ku's face.

Just then, Jieyin continued speaking.

"Hehe, no problem!"

"This outer heaven is originally a place no one sets foot in; lacking opportunities is to be expected."

"If so, we should return."

Obviously, Jieyin deeply believed Chen Ku's words.

Hearing this, Zhunti and Chen Ku both nodded, with no objection.

The three stepped out of the outer heaven and returned once more to the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Afterward, they headed down the mountain.

This time, Chen Ku did not discover any great opportunity again.

However, that day, as the three walked to a certain place, Chen Ku's eyes suddenly twitched.

Before him, on a mountainside, faint divine glimmer flickered underfoot, a lingering ineffable mystical aura, stronger than the innate pear tree and other treasures he had previously gathered by more than one level.

In an instant, Chen Ku's mind surged with thoughts, and an inexplicable feeling arose.

This place was exactly where the innate gourd vine had originally grown.

That was indeed a top‑grade innate spiritual root, and the seven treasure gourds it bore were each top‑grade innate spiritual treasures.

Moreover, not only the gourds, but the vine itself, and even the Nine Heavens' Vital Soil that gave birth to the vine, are rare top‑tier treasures.

But now, this place is utterly empty.

Let alone the seven innate treasure gourds.

Even the innate gourd vine and the Nine Heavens' Vital Soil that produced it have ceased to exist.

Jieyin saw Chen Ku's somewhat dazed, lost expression and guessed what he was thinking.

His words then sounded.

"Um... that single gourd vine that first appeared here was also an extraordinarily mystical existence."

"It's a pity... we felt no resonance, so the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, Hongyun, and Taiyi and the like divided it among themselves."

Jieyin's words also carried a hint of sentiment.

He also knew quite well about the opportunities of the Three Pure Ones and the others.

Moreover, it was obvious that not having received any of those innate treasure gourds back then left Jieyin feeling deep regret and remorse.

Hearing this, Chen Ku felt even more anguished, instantly having the sensation of 'missing out on a hundred million'.

"Alas... bitter... bitter..."

"I ultimately came through too late."

"Otherwise, I might have been able to snatch a treasure gourd."

Chen Ku thought, his face full of disappointment.

Know that the seven innate treasure gourds, in the hands of the Three Pure Ones and Hongyun and the like, have all displayed great divine might, leaving behind many legends.

Chen Ku couldn't help but think that if he had arrived earlier, with his foreknowledge advantage, he might well have schemed to obtain one of them.

Fortunately, the successive lament of the Dao allowed his Primordial True Classic to advance somewhat, increasing his mana, which made Chen Ku's heart feel a little better.

Of course, regretting now is useless.

After a long while, Chen Ku withdrew his gaze, his thoughts gathered inward, and he prepared to pass through this place and continue down the mountain.

But at that very moment, his heart stirred suddenly, and a profound, ineffable sensation arose.

Chen Ku stared, this feeling was unprecedented.

Upon careful sense with his divine awareness, Chen Ku happily discovered that this sensation actually came from the Purple Star Astrology Great Divine Ability he had previously comprehended.

This divine ability inherently has the effect of attracting good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

And seeking opportunities, strengthening oneself, is likewise part of "attracting good fortune."

This inevitably set Chen Ku's mind racing, with thoughts flowing one after another.

Could it be that there are still unseen opportunities or treasures around here?!

Thinking this, Chen Ku immediately did not rush to leave.

His mind stirred greatly, and the Purple Star Astrology Divine Ability began to operate in secret, starting the deduction.

The more he deduced, the brighter Chen Ku's eyes became.

To the side, Jieyin and Zhunti watched Chen Ku like this, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"What the heck is this kid doing again?!"

"Could it be that he's unwilling to give up and doesn't want to leave?!"

Zhunti spoke, completely baffled.

Hearing this, Jieyin also shook his head, unable to respond.

"Disciple......"

Jieyin opened his mouth, about to ask Chen Ku.

But just then, Chen Ku also finally finished his occult deduction.,

His eyes regained their clear luster, bright and sparkling, captivating hearts like never before.

Without bothering to heed Jieyin's words, he flipped his palm.

In an instant, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo emerged, emitting a faint green light, its aura oppressive.

Chen Ku waved his hand, and the Six Roots Pure Bamboo traced a profound trajectory, immediately landing in the void before his eyes.

"This......"

This scene left Jieyin and Zhunti even more astonished.

How did Chen Ku suddenly strike?!

This truly caught the two of them off guard.

But shortly after, Jieyin and Zhunti clearly saw.

Under the mighty radiance of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, the void before them actually shattered inch by inch, as if collapsing.

Moments later, five-colored radiance burst forth, shining brilliantly, dazzling the eyes.

A space that had not previously existed also appeared alongside.

By this point, Jieyin and Zhunti also came to a sudden realization.

This place actually harbors a hidden, mysterious space?!

And Chen Ku's offering of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo was precisely what shattered this place's innate seal, revealing its true form.

"This... is it another opportunity?!"

Zhunti let out a shocked exclamation.

Numb!

How astonishing is this kid Chen Ku's fortune?!

In the midst of this journey, we casually stumbled upon another great opportunity?!

As the words fell, Jieyin and Zhunti also had no time to think further, immediately stepping forward to investigate.
