Chapter 560 232: Dao Scripture (2)

"Is this the 'opportunity' mentioned in the Treasure Skill information?"

This extraordinary Treasure Skill, when a cultivator is in the High Realm, can directly trigger special effects, but at lower realms, only by touching the [opportunity] can it exhibit wondrous changes.

The so-called opportunity is similar to the flash of insight experienced by the extraordinary, which, under environmental or self-influence, can unleash an effect far beyond the present.

Qin Jin did not anticipate that the first time he displayed this Treasure Skill, he would touch upon the opportunity.

Perhaps it was because he had just received a gift from the heavens, or maybe because the place he currently stood was extraordinary; everything had become untraceable, and Qin Jin had no intention of seeking further.

Because at the moment the bell rang, his mind went blank for a brief second.

Afterward, as if ascending to a higher dimension, he perceived himself, but it was as if he had truly become a third perspective, actually observing everything about himself, as if he were an uncut jade, discovering one imperfection after another and correcting them within his perception.

During this process, changes occurred again within the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven.

The bell sound vanished in a flash, and at a certain moment, the green lotus below, which had yet to completely fade, seemed to 'look' in the same upward direction, its branches and leaves bowing as if in veneration.

In the direction they were focused on, in a flash of brilliance, an object appeared and disappeared.

It seemed like... a book, a book suspended in the heavens.

As it appeared for an instant, something dormant in the Spirit Ruins seemed to be abruptly awakened, rushing straight towards the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven.

It was the Nine-Story Small Tower.

After the last repair, it had once again become dormant after providing two primitive control secrets. Previously, the heavenly gift seemed to be directed only at Qin Jin himself, not allowing it further repair; now... the changes in the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven had provoked a reaction from it.

As it approached the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven, peculiar radiance arose from the damaged part of the small tower, filling it in, appearing to repair in an incredibly unique way.

In Qin Jin's heart, an understanding rose from the depths.

The bell sound is the Dao Sound.

The Celestial Book is the Dao Scripture.

This might be the divine manifestation that would appear when he ascends to the High Realm, or perhaps an evolution of another dimension, now unfolding with heaven's help.

Listening to the Dao Sound, directly facing the Dao Scripture, Qin Jin did not gain direct harvests, nor could he comprehend anything from it. But as the Dao Scripture flashed by, he felt a peculiar sense from within his heart: "I gradually understand everything."

At this instant, his reorganization of himself did not cease. With a thought in his heart, Qin Jin raised his palm, and from within the domain, brilliance emerged swiftly, converging.

A palm-sized crystal appeared.

[Recording Crystal]

This peculiar crystal, acquired after interacting with the planet's singularities, has the effect of recording methods.

However, when an extraordinary evolver acquires it, attempting to engrave one's strength and techniques onto it is not an overnight task; it requires persistent effort to be effective.

But now, with the crystal suspended over his palm, Qin Jin's power continuously surged into it, engraving it with the finest control and deepest understanding. The speed unfathomable; with each breath, intricate patterns emerged on the crystal's facets—an unusual evolution of his power methods.

Dividing his focus.

Meanwhile, within the Spirit Ruins, the planetary projection trembled slightly.

Within Qin Jin's thoughts, an Immortal Dynasty Technique entered, as if a volume of secret scripture had been opened and perused.

Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking.

This is an extremely special [Skill], in fact; the nine secrets touch upon entirely distinct directions. While named one skill, it's actually nine—today, he chose the direction he was prepared to cultivate, starting his learning.

Dividing his focus thrice.

This was not yet the limit.

Within the Spirit Ruins, the God of Fire opened its eyes, and within Qin Jin, a new direction emerged for the Fire God Technique, now fully focused on promotion.

His spirit divided, entering the True Dragon Grotto Heaven, seriously observing, and finally seeing the true form of what the Dragon Maiden had given him, clearly revealing— a scale!

Dragon Scale!

His heart raced with countless thoughts at once, undisturbed by each other, and in that moment, Qin Jin opened his eyes.

He gazed towards the firmament, towards the divine cauldron restriction, and towards all the sceneries of the Immortal Dynasty.

Once, when he first saw these sceneries, he could only feel the former splendor of the Immortal Dynasty.

Later, due to the Heaven-Reaching Platform, he realized that deeper secrets were hidden within these ancient sceneries.

Now, under the blessing of the supreme version of the Enlightenment Treasure Skill, when he gazed upon the myriad sceneries, only the purest truth of cultivation infused his heart.

With his observations, with the operation of his powers, he found himself surrounded by fine and silky threads, appearing like ribbons formed from gathered soft lights, inscribed with mysterious patterns on them. They completely encircled him, creating an appearance of transformation.

However, this was a transformation forged by mental comprehension.

When the silky ribbons completely wrapped around Qin Jin, the outer world could no longer perceive his actions.

Time passed.

Night faded as the sun rose.

Qin Jin, enveloped by countless ribbons of soft light, seemed as if he was within a ball of strange embroidery; at some moment, cracks appeared on the embroidery ball, then it exploded, turning into fragments of light and disappearing completely.

Inside, Qin Jin's figure emerged.

His condition did not seem good.

With tightly closed eyes and a body appearing particularly thin and frail, under his clothes, some parts were almost skin and bones, as if he had just recovered from a severe illness, still looking very weak.

If someone could observe his insides, they would discover that his primordial power was almost exhausted, his spiritual power slow within the Spirit Ruins, and the mysterious lands within each Spirit Ruins seemed somewhat withered.

It was at this moment.

Qin Jin opened his eyes.

His gaze, pure to the extreme, seemingly untouched by earthly dust, would draw uncontrollable attraction from anyone who looked into those eyes.

Scanning his surroundings, Qin Jin raised his hand, observing the clearly visible joints on the back of his hand, his emotions unmoved, speaking to himself internally: "The consumption is indeed immense."

This was a rare side effect.

When mental comprehension truly reaches its peak, the relying physical strength becomes a burden in turn; though the duration of that state was not long, it resulted in tremendous depletion, supporting such comprehension equated to running on overload.

Without letting his hand fall, Qin Jin formed a sword with his fingers, pointing into the void.

In the next breath, upon this sky curtain, spiritual power surged, and within a few breaths, the gathered spiritual power had become extremely dense, revealing peculiar colors, and then started to liquefy into rain, descending from the sky, and promptly... the concentration increased once more, gradually transitioning from liquid to solid state!

Qin Jin's sword fingers did not falter, with a gentle touch into the void, causing the nearly solidified spiritual power of Heaven and Earth to undergo a peculiar change, evolving into weapon shapes!

Simultaneously.

Centered around Qin Jin, crimson flames began to flow out as spiritual power, evolving around him, manifesting a furnace upon the sky curtain!

God of Fire Furnace.

This extraordinary scene was the amalgamation of Qin Jin's various methods!

The spirit weapons, under guidance, each cast themselves into the furnace, going through refinement and tempering before entering the core, returning into Qin Jin's Spirit Ruins, smoothing the operation of spiritual power, gradually replenishing the dried primordial power, and reducing the state of weakness.

Until a sensation of fullness arose within him, Qin Jin halted his actions, and the furnace dispersed.

Around him, still gathered were vast amounts of solidified spiritual power of Heaven and Earth, which Qin Jin, with a sweeping glance, used his own strength as guidance, directing them while they dived downwards in midair, transforming from solid into liquid, to fall like a rain.

Beneath this sky curtain lay the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

"In mythological legends, dragons have the ability to control clouds and bring rain."

"This can also be counted as making it rain."

Qin Jin spoke to himself internally.

This was undoubtedly a clever method, for the root of it lay in his possession of the [Body of Ten Thousand Spirits], and through repeated exchanges with Heaven, he had grown ever closer to it.

His spirit returned to his body.

While his strength was replenished, his physique still appeared slightly frail, as this depletion was not merely a consumption of pure power.

"The state is far from optimal."

"Yet my combat strength now already surpasses before."

"Listening to the Dao Sound and witnessing the Dao Scripture truly is great fortune."

Thus internalizing, Qin Jin summoned the Abyssal Dragon, and amidst the spiritual rain below, returned to the tribe.
