Chapter 49 The Shifting Stars
After finishing this training session, the two continued deeper into the Sacred Cliff. After traveling for a short while, a small lake appeared ahead.
It's more accurate to call it a pond than a lake.
The water in this pond is turbulent, as if it possesses a magical power.
Lu Zhao glanced at it, as if he were seeing his past, his days on Earth, and the little things he had experienced.
However, he already knew all this, so there was no need for the reflection of the Reincarnation Lake.
Now, in this lake, Lu Zhao has sensed countless water paths.
This place contains the Great Emperor-level Water Dao, as well as various other Dao principles, which are quite chaotic to Lu Zhao.
Gai Jiuyou also stood here, his gaze fixed on the Lake of Reincarnation.
At this moment, it was as if he saw the past, saw his youth, when he rose to prominence and was invincible in the world.
In that era, he forged ahead fearlessly, confident that nothing could stop him.
His glorious years and past achievements are all there; this is a remembrance of the past and a recollection of what once was.
Lu Zhao also stayed here, trying to comprehend the Dao principles within the Lake of Reincarnation.
The water element in the lake was abundant, and together with other elements, Lu Zhao gradually mastered them.
For him, this was also a tremendous opportunity.
He grasped the concept very quickly here as well, finishing in just over ten breaths.
At this moment, Gai Jiuyou has awakened and recovered from his past reverie.
The two continued their journey deeper into the Sacred Cliff. With Gai Jiuyou's help, Lu Zhao crossed one giant peak after another and finally approached the deepest part of the Sacred Cliff, where there was an ancient coffin.
The central mountain towers into the clouds, its entire body a dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood, and you can even smell a trace of blood.
The black mountainside is covered with dark red bloodstains, which have not faded even after many years, leaving behind blood clots.
Meanwhile, on the mountainside, a golden divine list sits atop the mountain. It is the Investiture of the Gods list, crafted by the Great Emperor Wushi, and is used to suppress evil spirits here.
The two of them went straight to the mountaintop, where there was no longer any danger.
The old madman has already cleared away most of the dangers from the past.
Even if there were any dangerous creatures, they would surely be intimidated by Gai Jiuyou's power and wouldn't dare to come out and seek death in this place.
"As expected, someone came here." Gai Jiuyou suddenly said.
There are still many Dao principles here, and the traces of some ancient corpses exploding are very clear, even though only two or three days have passed.
Above the ancient coffin, two star charts still shine.
The two star charts are very large and are not carved on stone tablets, but imprinted on the stone ground. This is a result of careful deduction.
Lu Zhao memorized the star map so that he could use it to fix his coordinates when traveling in the universe and avoid entering desolate places.
As for Gai Jiuyou, he had already arrived beside the stone coffin.
He raised one hand and pressed it onto the stone coffin. Then, his hands unleashed a burst of power, breaking the seal on the stone coffin and revealing its secret.
The stone coffin contained a pool of crimson blood, and an ancient corpse floated on top of it.
The ancient corpse's neck was broken; it had been twisted off by someone forcefully while it was still alive.
Meanwhile, within that special ancient coffin, wisps of Dao principles scattered out, condensing into images in the void, forming a total of nine Dao diagrams.
hum!
Suddenly, a hand covered in green hair reached out from inside the ancient coffin.
The moment that arm reached out, it unleashed an incredibly terrifying power.
With just this physical body, even without any Dao principles, a single claw strike like this would be enough to crush any saint to death.
However, faced with this terrifying attack, Gai Jiuyou also raised his hand to meet it.
The two men's palms collided, unleashing a terrifying power that would have caused horrific destruction had Gai Jiuyou not intentionally suppressed it.
Even if the entire Beidou system were destroyed, Lu Zhao wouldn't be surprised at all.
As the two collided, a wisp of energy leaked into the sky, striking a large star in outer space and shattering it.
The green-haired hand retreated and returned to the stone coffin, where it remained motionless.
Lu Zhao could sense that the corpse was filled with curses, and it was the power of the curses that prompted the Great Perfection Holy Body to suddenly attack.
After being forced back by Gai Jiuyou's attack, the Great Perfection Holy Body remained motionless.
Gai Jiuyou also made a move, erasing the curse within the other party's body. This curse power, without any origin, was no match for him.
Having completely resolved the issue, Lu Zhao gradually relaxed.
At this moment, he turned his gaze to the nine Dao diagrams in the void.
That was the secret contained within the word "行" (xing), and Lu Zhao began to seriously study it.
At this moment, not only Lu Zhao, but also Gai Jiuyou began to seriously comprehend it.
Because these nine Dao diagrams contain not only the secret of speed, but also the true Dao of time. Only by comprehending them to an extremely profound degree can one comprehend the power of time.
Lu Zhao was immersed in it, gradually comprehending the Dao diagram of the Xingzi Secret.
Thoroughly comprehend the underlying principles and gradually master them.
There are nine Dao diagrams in total, each one more profound than the last, and the things they reveal become increasingly complex.
Furthermore, the higher the level of Dao principles contained in the later Dao diagrams, the more profound they become.
Just like the ninth Dao diagram, even if Lu Zhao could comprehend it, he still couldn't reach that level and unleash its power.
Even if one can comprehend the ninth Dao diagram, if one's realm has not reached that level, one will not be able to activate that level of Dao.
Even with forced activation, it cannot be triggered. Just like the current Xingzi Secret, even if he could comprehend it, he could only trigger it at maximum speed.
To access the realm of time, one must cultivate to a very high level.
"If we add certain spatial principles to the foundation of the 'Travel' secret, this speed will be further enhanced." After comprehending it, Lu Zhao had a special insight.
Just like when he used to fight, he tried to manipulate the power of space.
He wanted to use the power of space to increase his speed. Now that he had comprehended the secret of the word "movement", he immediately had this idea.
Adding the principles of space would greatly amplify the power of this technique.
However, such an integration requires him to carefully comprehend and integrate the two paths, ensuring they do not conflict with each other.
If the two conflict and affect each other, then adding a spatial channel would be a mistake.
Not only will it not increase the speed of Xingzi Secret, it will actually decrease the speed of Xingzi Secret.
"I'll make some slight modifications and turn it into my own technique. Although it can't compare to the peak Xingzi Secret Technique, this technique is unique to me. As my cultivation level continues to improve, surpassing the Xingzi Secret Technique will be a piece of cake," Lu Zhao muttered to himself.
With his current vision and abilities, there aren't many changes he can make.
However, as one's cultivation level increases, this change will become more and more significant, until it completely transcends the scope of the "Xing Zi Mi" (行字秘) and becomes one's own unique technique.
"Once the new technique is complete, let's call it 'Shifting Stars and Reversing the Flow.' With one step, mountains and rivers turn upside down, and the Milky Way disappears into the distance." Lu Zhao's eyes gleamed.
