I love the stars
The Great Ape dynasty consisted of three great territories and one capital. Each of the 3 great clans was assigned a territory, and the royal capital where the 3 clans were located was under the emperor's watch, meaning the domination of the royal dynasty over everyone.
In the Black Ape domain, hundreds of kilometers from Ku City, one middle-aged man and one young man were facing a group of bandits. The middle-aged man was none other than Di Tian. In order to head to the capital, he decided to go on foot for a while in order to get some experience.
Unfortunately, he happens to meet some bandits chasing a young man, getting himself involved. While he was a peak acquire cultivator, he simply had zero battle experience, and moreover, his level did not reach the point of crushing everything with absolute strength. As such, even facing some bandits who had yet to attain the dao he had to remain vigilant; he still hadn't escaped the scope of ordinary mortals. The young man was also an acquire realm cultivator as well.
"Help me gain sometimes" said the young man as he took out his sword, preparing some kind of martial technique.
Di Tian had to fight alone; however, he easily got himself injured as those bandits experimented. Thanks to the young man who finally unlocked his technique
"Righteous sword dance": in one sword move, all the assailants got beheaded.
"My name is Wu Tiger. Thank you for your help. Without waiting for Di Tian's reply, the young man disapered. Quickly, Di Tian followed suit, as he also left.
Three days later, in an inn, Di Tian was slowly pondering on his life over the past 19 past years.
"Indeed, I am only one step away from the innate, but that step seems to be farther than I thought."
"As a cultivator, not only do I need to advance my cultivation, but I also need the wisdom that follows."
"My mind is weak, and some simple bandits managed to sway my confidence. Why am I being cultivating for? "What do I want in my heart?"
"As far as I know, the only emotion that followed me through reincarnation is my fascination for stars. However, since my reincarnation, I have only indulged myself in penance dusting my heart on occasion.
"What is innate, and what is the Dao realm?" All I want is to comprehend and grasp the stars. "I care about immortality, but my dao does not lie there."
"Yes, my Dao is deep in the starry sky." Unknowingly, Di Tian not only strengthened his dao heart, but he also realized his road to the innate.
Normally, upon arriving at the peak of the acquired realm, the QI inside the body will be sublimated to obtain a strand of innate QI. At that point, the cultivator will continue to accumulate more strands of innate QI. Nine strands were necessary to return to innate: 12 outstanding, 21 rare, 76 peerless, and 81 taboo.
The breakthrough process was simple: fuse the innate QI with the heart.
However, those who entered the dao with a physical body need to find their direction and create their own technique. In the modern cultivation world, people will only create when they reach the end of their path or when there are no longer any techniques that follow their needs, which is in fact just sublimating their previous techniques.
However, Di Tian had to create his own technique from scratch. It was akin to creating a new dao law out of nothing.
"I need to buy one innate technique for reference and read some books on the origins of the stars to consolidate my knowledge."
11 months later.
In a camping area, many people were gathered and chatting. A few hundred meters away, Di Tian had just finished his meditation.
"Finally, I have created the first chapter of my seeking star art: the origin source scripture."
The origin of the source scriptures was to use QI to temper and transform the 12 meridians. Each time the 12 meridians are cultivated, all the QI can be transformed into a strand of original Qi. There was no limit to how much QI could be produced. It was indeed a technique with some potential.
"Tomorrow I will arrive at the capital to pay respect to the ancestor. After that, I will have to finish my karma with the Di clan. Anyhow, I basically know no one there, so there is no need to let those fetters affect my Dao path.
The Di clan's ancestor's achievement of transcendence was, in fact, both a good and bad thing. There were only 3 clans with transcendent powers to suppress the luck, except the royal family, and there were only 3 great territories in the whole kingdom. So a battle of interests was indeed bound to happen.
When Di Tian was planning, suddenly the world seemed to freeze. To be exact, the flow of time in the whole universe stopped. Then it resumed its course as if nothing had happened. Only Dao realms, exemplified by possessing a "genuine Dao," were aware of what happened. Some other people will only feel that something was, and that is if they have some comprehension of the mysterious river of time.
The boundless universe is composed of infinite spacetime dimensions. However, the whole can be considered to be formed of several cosmos and an abyss at the center. In a cosmos near the one where Di Tian is located, there was a huge palace floating in the void. Its exterior space was comparable to a galaxy, while inside there was a special dimension as vast as a little universe.
At the moment the flow of time resumed its course, an old man opened his eyes. Then he showed an inexplicable smile.
"That was the rebirth stone. The great world is finally coming, and my chess piece has finally begun to mature. This time, surely, I will achieve the beyond Dao position, even if it means the destruction of the universe. So what if the cultivation path stopped at the 'Dao Emperor', I will never let this shallow universe confine me."
