Chapter 2

Late at night, the moon shone by the lake.

Gu Chen was still awake. He formed hand seals and sat cross-legged. The surrounding Essence Qi flowed into his body.

On the Kunlun Continent, cultivation was divided into five realms: physical body, magic, Nirvana, Longevity, and Celestial.

The physical body realm was the foundation. It was further divided into Qi Nurturing, Blood Strengthening, Tendons Transformation, Meridian Opening, Skin Strengthening, Bone Cracking, Marrow Building, Aperture Opening, and Rebirth.

Only when the physical body treasure was unlocked and reborn would one be able to create magic and be called a cultivator.

The basic Qi Nurturing of the physical body realm required one to be able to sense Qi and draw the Essence Qi into one's dantian.

To attract the Essence Qi, one needed to cultivate.

In the Eastern Wilderness, cultivation techniques were usually in the hands of sects and families.

Ever since Gu Chen had entered the Wuchen Sect and obtained the basic cultivation method, he had not been able to condense a trace of Origin Energy for a whole two years. Compared to his fiancée, who had entered the Soothing Pulse Realm a month after entering the sect, he was simply a big joke.

"Gu Chen doesn't even have a sense of Qi. If not for his father's friendship with Elder Nangong, he wouldn't even be qualified to be a servant. He would have been chased out long ago."

Gu Chen's ears almost grew calluses from hearing such mockery.

However, was that really the case?

At this moment, under the moonlight, Gu Chen sat like a rock. The Essence Qi flowed into his body continuously. How could he not have a sense of Qi?

"It's been two years. Ever since I took the seed that father gave me, no matter how much Essence Qi I absorbed, it would be snatched away by the seed.

"In these two years, I can clearly feel the seed becoming saturated. Tonight, it won't snatch away my Essence Qi anymore!

"Ye Qingshuang, do you think I'm trash? Unfortunately, how can a sparrow understand a swan's ambition?"

Gu Chen muttered to himself. His eyes were burning with passion.

In these two years, no matter how many people rolled their eyes at him and mocked him, he was able to remain indifferent. The most important reason was that he knew he was not trash.

Not only was he not trash, but he had also developed a sense of Qi on the first night he entered the Wuchen Sect.

It was only because of the mysterious seed in his body that no matter how much Essence Qi he refined over the past two years, it was all absorbed away. This resulted in his cultivation not even reaching the First Level of the Fleshly Body!

The scene of his father's departure was still fresh in his mind. When he left, his father's face was solemn, and he repeatedly warned him to swallow the seed.

He asked him what it was, but he didn't say anything. He only said that it was the only way he could survive.

Gu Chen did not understand what had happened to his father back then, but he trusted him unconditionally. Therefore, even though his cultivation had been stagnant these past two years because of the seed, he had been cultivating tirelessly.

His father had been missing for two years, and the confusion in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

Tonight, the seed would finally hatch. Perhaps all the mysteries would be explained.

Ding!

At some point, when another strand of newly refined elemental energy flowed into the dantian and was plundered by the seed, it finally reached saturation and began to shine.

Bang –

It was as if a comet had suddenly exploded in Gu Chen's head, and a large amount of information flooded into his brain.

"Art of Myriad Stellar! Use the stars to open the aperture, use the moonlight to nourish the soul, use the yang fire to temper the body, smelt the milky way blood, and turn the body into an indestructible star body! Where one's thoughts go, the universe goes! "

"This technique was created by observing the stars in the sky, and it shows the wonders of the universe. Once the 88 Levels of Heaven Secret Technique is cultivated, I will be invincible in the past, present, and future!"

Gu Chen's head was splitting. It took him a long time to digest all the messy information.

The mysterious seed in his dantian had sprouted, and it was shaped like a wooden stake, floating in his dantian.

According to the memory fragments, it was called the Mother Root of All Beings.

Other than the Mother Root of All Beings, there was only a technique that he thought was a myth, and it was more than ten thousand times more heaven-defying than the basic technique of the Wuchen Sect.

"I don't have the information about my father that I want to know the most, but this technique was left to me by my father."

After a long time, Gu Chen took a deep breath.

The seed had grown into the Mother Root of All Beings, and it finally stopped robbing his elemental energy. He could now truly cultivate.

The Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique that the Mother Root of All Beings brought opened a door that he didn't even dare to think about in the past.

Without considering whether the realm described in this technique was real or not, Gu Chen chose to believe in his father.

He closed his eyes and carefully went through the contents of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique.

This was a technique that borrowed the power of the sun, moon, and stars to cultivate, and it had a total of five volumes.

When cultivated to the extreme, one's physical body could go through thousands of tribulations, and one's soul could roam the universe without being destroyed. One breath could even extinguish the fire of the sun!

The more Gu Chen comprehended, the more shocked he was, especially the 88 Levels of Heaven Secret Technique that came with the technique. Every secret technique was extremely profound, and it was beyond his current level of understanding.

"Did father leave this technique in the seed, or is it something that came with the Mother Root of All Beings?"

Gu Chen had countless questions in his mind, but the only thing he was sure of was that his father didn't harm him. Two years of not being able to cultivate in exchange for a heaven-defying technique!

Gu Chen focused his attention on the stardust volume of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique. The cultivation method described in it was very different from ordinary techniques.

The first level of the physical body, Qi Nurturing, Blood Strengthening, Tendons Transformation, Meridians Opening, Skin Tempering, Bone Cracking, Marrow Forging, Orifices Opening, and Nine Levels of Reincarnation.

Cultivators refined their elemental energy, strengthened their blood, and opened their meridians by absorbing the essence energy of heaven and earth.

Essence energy existed in the environment that people depended on for survival, and it had complex attributes. Different types of techniques would absorb the essence energy of the same attribute.

And the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique not only absorbed the essence energy of heaven and earth, but also the power of celestial phenomena. The power of the distant stars descended through the dark void.

According to the description of the technique, Gu Chen closed his eyes and sensed the position of the Big Dipper in the sky.

Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid. The initial cultivation of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique borrowed the power of the Big Dipper.

If he couldn't sense the Big Dipper, he couldn't start the first step of cultivation. Gu Chen was a little nervous.

According to the description of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique, 44% of cultivators failed at this first step. Sensing the stars in the sky was a matter that relied heavily on talent.

Sinking his Qi into his dantian, Gu Chen concentrated on the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique.

An hour later, his mind became ethereal, and he imagined himself in the vast galaxy. Gradually, he sensed a primitive power calling out to him from afar.

In the sky, among the bright stars, the seven stars were shaped like spoons. At this moment, they cast down faint starlight that sprinkled on his body.

Gu Chen immediately felt his body warm, and his heart was filled with excitement. He had succeeded!

He didn't expect that he would only need an hour to sense the Big Dipper. According to the description of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique, to be able to do this in such a short period of time, he was a true genius!

Not only was he not trash, but he also had amazing talent in cultivation!

In his joy, Gu Chen quickly calmed down. He guided the starlight into his body and circulated it according to the route of the Nature of Heavenly Stars Technique.

The seven stars of the Big Dipper and Gu Chen formed a miraculous connection as they searched for the dragon's location across the vast Star Region.
