Chapter 108: The Legacy of Heaven and Earth

The expansion of the space was originally a grand event, yet since there was nothing within the acupoint cavity, even as the area of the space rapidly increased, it remained utterly devoid of any sign of life—simple, silent, and motionless. Were it not for the illumination of the Dawn Light, one would hardly perceive the immense changes occurring within this space almost every moment.

As the space grew larger over time, the Dawn Light gradually began to change. A faint, inexplicable aura emerged within the expanding space—initially so subtle as to be nearly invisible, seemingly an intrinsic part of the space itself. However, as the space continued to enlarge, this aura intensified until it became perceptible.

Upon sensing this aura, the Dawn Light flickered abruptly. Then, the aura vanished instantly from its original place and reappeared before the Dawn Light. The Dawn Light swayed slightly, as if it opened its mouth, and immediately, the aura within the space dissipated, while the Dawn Light itself underwent a transformation.

A humming sound suddenly resonated around, emanating from the Dawn Light. The space trembled momentarily, then returned to calm, and the humming ceased. The Dawn Light hovered in the air, seemingly unchanged at first glance, yet somehow different—more ethereal and integrated with the space, forming a unified whole.

In a flash, the Dawn Light burst forth with radiant brilliance, its intrinsic rhythm greatly intensified, and its energy conversion accelerated markedly. The expanding space and the Dawn Light merged at this moment, complementing each other and growing together in a virtuous cycle.

Because the aura representing the space was absorbed by the Dawn Light, they became connected; as the space expanded, the Dawn Light, having assimilated the aura, also grew larger. The increase in the Dawn Light’s size enhanced its speed and efficiency in energy transformation.

Like a single thread influencing the whole, the changes in the Dawn Light caused the external energy currents to surge faster, with the roaring sound seemingly growing louder. Rivers of energy rushed forth, the Dawn Light shone brightly, and the acupoint cavity’s space expanded continuously.

The overall strength of Zhou Yi was undergoing earth-shattering changes every moment. Were he awake now and to open his attribute panel to observe the ever-changing numbers, he would be utterly astonished.

Regrettably, Zhou Yi was fated not to do so at this time, for as his acupoint cavity transformed and his power leapt forward, his very spirit was also undergoing profound changes.

...

“Dao cultivation?”

“Mana!”

“Acupoint cavity space, Sixth Stage of the False Core!”

“Purple Palace, Dantian!”

Zhou Yi’s spirit was immersed in a profound realm. The moment the energy river appeared, his consciousness was drawn into this realm, where torrents of information flooded his mind, gradually revealing many truths unbeknownst to him.

The energy river was the primordial source of Heaven and Earth, symbolizing the cosmos itself.

Heaven and Earth opened, all things proliferated and flourished, much like a fruit tree that, over time, eventually bears fruit.

The fruit was the tree’s ultimate outcome, the representation of its entire life. Remove the flesh, and inside lies the seed. When the seed falls to the ground and time passes, it will grow into another fruit tree.

This is inheritance.

Heaven and Earth were no different. To the cosmos, all living beings within it were part of itself.

Its ultimate purpose, like the fruit tree’s, was to pass on everything, to produce another complete fruit.

For Heaven and Earth, all lives were its children, each born with a mission—to inherit all that it held.

Inheritance—that was the essence.

Yet, such inheritance was not granted to just anyone. To wear the crown, one must bear its weight; this was fundamental.

Even Heaven and Earth could not bestow all of themselves upon every one of their children.

For the weight that inheritance represented was almost unbearable to most.

The human body contained 365 acupoint cavities, a ladder constructed by Heaven and Earth for humanity. It divided its inheritance into 365 parts, each representing a portion of its legacy.

Indeed, these were the cosmic informations.

To fully receive all cosmic informations upon opening all acupoints was to obtain the complete inheritance of Heaven and Earth.

Each portion of cosmic inheritance, upon breaking through the False Core stage, could significantly enhance the quality of the Dawn Light—and that was not all.

Besides augmenting its quality at the False Core breakthrough, cosmic information also strengthened one’s spiritual intensity.

Most importantly, each piece of cosmic information allowed one to acquire its corresponding profundity within the energy river.

Cosmic information was like a set of keys, the energy river a bank containing numerous vaults. Each cosmic information could open a vault and claim its contents.

These contents were the cosmic profundities.

The cosmic profundities served a single purpose: to deepen one’s understanding of the corresponding attribute.

Simply put, water represented cosmic power and enabled its possessor to train water-based cultivation techniques with twice the efficiency.

And so forth.

Of course, this described the role of cosmic profundities. Beyond this was a hidden function, accessible only after acquiring all cosmic information and all cosmic profundities.

Three hundred sixty-five cosmic informations, three hundred sixty-five cosmic profundities, combined into a complete cosmos.

During the False Core breakthrough, the energy river sensed the completeness of the cosmic profundities and naturally drew the cultivator in for the final cosmic inheritance.

This inheritance encompassed the cosmic information contained within Heaven and Earth and a profound realization of the cosmos.

Take note—it was a realization of cosmic attributes.

What was Heaven and Earth? That need not be explained.

The profound cosmic attributes accelerated the cultivation speed of their corresponding techniques.

Moreover, the existence of cosmic attributes granted the qualification to cultivate corresponding attribute techniques.

What were cosmic attribute techniques?

For example: the Buddha Kingdom in the palm, the universe concealed in the sleeve, the sun and moon within the chest, and countless others.

Compared to ordinary spells, these cosmic attribute techniques were undoubtedly far more powerful.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sudden sounds arose. Following their source, one saw the light point representing the acupoint cavity fluctuating wildly in the darkness, growing larger and smaller repeatedly—the sounds were produced by this shifting light.

The light point rapidly expanded and contracted several times before stabilizing, though the restored light was much larger than before.

The First Stage of the False Core! Achieved!

Once the light stabilized, the number of energy currents surging within the dark energy river increased rapidly. Within the acupoint cavity, now transformed space stretched vast, the Dawn Light hovered steadily in midair like a small sun, rings of radiant waves continuously emanating, its aura growing overwhelmingly immense.
