📖 Chapter 1273 - Immortal’s Rune!
For some people, although they had eyes, their world was still covered in fog. They couldn’t see clearly, nor could they feel the spark of life. Perhaps it was because of themselves, or perhaps it was because of their environment, but they couldn’t shake off the fetters entangling them.
The majority of people in the world were like this. It couldn’t be said that they were unhappy, but they weren’t carefree, either. They didn’t realize that going through life was also a kind of cultivation, requiring constant insight and enlightenment; it was just that the accumulation of spiritual energy was replaced by the passage of time.
There were also some people who, as they walked the road of life, gradually reached another state of mind. For these people, even if their eyes were closed, they could still perceive the world clearly. When it came to the spark of life, they could see it in vivid color.
People like this weren’t few in number.
As for Wang Baole, he had once been the former but was now the latter. Moreover, he even reached the pinnacle of the latter’s road, not just obtaining insight but genuinely learning of his true self.
Memories of his whole life surfaced in his mind, figures passing by in a flash. As he walked in the starry sky, Wang Baole closed his eyes and muttered softly.
“In the end, a human’s life it just a tale of cultivation… cultivating the heart, cultivating the character, cultivating the self.
As he muttered, Wang Baole’s smiled. His smile was innocent, guileless, and peaceful. As he walked with his long hair fluttering, these three temperaments fused perfectly to form… a carefree demeanor.
Step by step, he unhurriedly walked toward the coordinates that his senior brother’s final message had told him.
His eyes were closed the entire way. He didn’t need to open them, nor could he open them.
Wang Baole didn’t know what his current cultivation base was. Perhaps it was the great circle of the Star Domain Realm, perhaps it was the Universe Realm, or perhaps it was… another, unknown level.
Throughout the history of the stele world, aside from Wang Baole, his senior brother was the only one to ever reach this realm.
And although he wasn’t certain of his own cultivation base, there was one thing that was very clear to Wang Baole. He knew that the moment he opened his eyes, the cultivation base he had suppressed would instantly explode outwards, and this explosion was something that the stele world couldn’t bear.
“Wait just a little longer.” Wang Baole seemed to be talking to himself, but he might also have been speaking to the void. He took another step, and his figure disappeared from the starry sky.
When he reappeared, he was already on the edge of the Unorthodox Holy Region. This place was a remote area with only a few stars and planets; however, countless asteroids were swirling around. Perhaps it was because of gravity, or perhaps it was the work of some other unknown force, but the asteroids here didn’t disperse widely or float off into the starry sky; instead, they formed a massive asteroid belt, the ends of which couldn’t be seen.
If an almighty being gazed down on this place from on high, they would be able to see that the asteroids here actually shared a common source. In other words… they were originally one celestial body.
It seemed that many years ago, there had been a massive planet here, or perhaps an abnormally large asteroid. However, that planet or asteroid ended up shattering, forming the current scene.
If it were anyone else, even if they unleashed their divine sense to its maximum extent, they wouldn’t be able to detect any abnormalities in this place. Even a Universe Realm cultivator would be the same.
Countless cultivators had come here over the years, but in the end, they didn’t discover anything. It was as if this massive asteroid belt was really completely ordinary. Thus, this place gradually lost its air of mystery.
However… to Wang Baole’s perception, this wasn’t the case at all. Although it was still an asteroid belt, and there were no exceptional treasures to be seen… there was an almost indiscernible trace of Immortal’s aura!
This trace of Immortal’s aura was so faint that even a Universe Realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to detect it. Even Master Never-Ending didn’t notice it. Even Wang Baole, who had the Immortal inheritance, wouldn’t have found it if he had come here before gaining enlightenment of his self.
Only now, with his Dao aura having turned into Immortal’s aura, could he follow the resonance and faintly notice it.
“Senior Brother… was indeed an outstanding person.” After thinking for a long time, Wang Baole muttered softly.
When people said that there were no treasures here, they were correct. There was no need for treasures to be hidden here, because the asteroid belt itself was already the most valuable treasure.
Because… all those years ago, what existed in this place was neither a planet nor a giant asteroid, but… a rune!
The countless asteroids in this place were all fragments of that original rune. Over the years, the asteroids had moved about freely, turning into a total mess. It was like when a completed puzzle was crumpled up and scattered randomly; it was impossible to distinguish their original form.
If someone could piece the asteroids together properly, the original rune would reappear in the world. However… without knowing what the original rune looked like, it was all but impossible.
And the appearance of the original rune… was actually encoded in that wisp of incredibly faint Immortal’s aura. Only those who could sense the Immortal’s aura – in other words, only Wang Baole, who had the Immortal inheritance of the same source – could obtain what Chen Qingzi left behind in this place!
After comprehending all of this, Wang Baole fell silent for a moment. He slowly lifted his right hand and waved it toward the asteroid belt in front of him. In an instant, the faint Immortal’s aura filling the area gathered together and fused into Wang Baole. At the same time, the image of a rune gradually emerged in his mind.
As soon as this rune appeared in his mind, the starry sky all around him began to fluctuate. An invisible flame appeared, causing infinite heat to spread in all directions and filling the starry sky with distortions.
At the same time, a heavy pressure swept outward.
After a moment of pause, Wang Baole clenched his hand into a fist and viciously punched out toward the asteroid belt in front of him. The asteroid belt shook violently once, and then all the asteroids within scattered in all directions.
As soon as they scattered, Wang Baole wrapped each asteroid up with his divine will. Then, he began reconstructing the rune that had appeared in his mind!
Countless asteroids burst into motion under Wang Baole’s strict control, and the rune slowly took shape in the starry sky. At the same time, the rumbling caused by the process spread throughout the entire Unorthodox Holy Region, along with terrifying fluctuations that caused all living beings to tremble.
Patriarch Seven Spirits’ expression changed as massive waves tumbled in his heart. Even with his Universe Realm cultivation base, he involuntarily trembled at this moment.
It wasn’t just him, but also the Moon Star Sect ancestor. Though the Moon Star Sect ancestor had once reached an even higher level of cultivation, he still couldn’t help but tremble.
And this trembling wasn’t due to any sort of hostility. It was instinct – the instinctual reverence of a superior being, like a mortal facing a divine spirit about to awaken!
A divine spirit could not be directly gazed upon!
A divine spirit could not be blasphemed!
A divine spirit could not be resisted!
