Chapter 572: Chapter 473 Blood Refining Asura + Chapter 474 Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices_3

"This..."

Zhou Ping’an couldn’t believe it and, after trying carefully two more times, he finally shook his head and sighed.

’This ability to glimpse weaknesses and deliver fatal strikes in one move must be based on the same principle as the Art of Divination, calculating the vulnerabilities of all things under heaven. Of course, it must also abide by the mechanism of the Art of Divination itself, which is that one can divine others but not oneself.’

At this thought, Zhou Ping’an suddenly saw the light.

In legendary stories, those formidable fortune tellers could divine other people’s fates and fortunes, even predicting the exact moment of their death.

But they couldn’t accurately predict their own.

And now, it seemed he was in the same situation.

As long as he reflected on himself without intention, all was well.

Once he allowed his thoughts to stray, all weaknesses, strengths, and flaws would vanish.

’In the end, one cannot have everything perfect to one’s liking.’

With this thought, Zhou Ping’an felt somewhat disheartened.

’No, if I can’t divine my own weaknesses, does that not indicate that others also cannot see my flaws and weaknesses?’

It was rather similar to the methods described in stories for shielding one’s own destiny from detection.

Therefore, using the Minute Boundary Third Realm to introspect could be a way to conceal one’s own fate, immune to others’ divinations.

If that was the case, not only would it not be useless, but it would also be greatly beneficial.

It was like stumbling upon a treasure.

Zhou Ping’an’s heart pounded with excitement.

He realized something.

In mythological tales, those who practiced Physical Cultivation to an extremely profound level often spoke of "stepping out of the Three Realms and not abiding by the Five Elements," which was akin to this situation.

Although he was far from reaching such a level.

Yet wasn’t the path he was following the same?

If this world was a real game, designed by the Heavenly Dao, with every person and object having weaknesses and strengths as if they were fixed by a program, would that not be the so-called fate.

Fate is ordained by heaven...

Seeing that red point, could it be that I am seeing the opponent’s fate?

Once hit, does their fate run out?

And since I cannot see my own red point, does that indicate that my fate is now hidden, no longer a fixed program?

’So, to speak, the Minute Boundary Third Realm has actually begun to touch upon the level of changing one’s destiny?’

’True, cultivating the physique is the path of Life Cultivation. Cultivating the soul is the way of Cultivating the Spirit. The stronger my physique becomes through Cultivation, transcending the mundane and becoming holy, the stronger my destiny becomes as well. In this way, once I cultivate to a profound level, changing my destiny will become inevitable.’

Having grasped this principle.

Zhou Ping’an felt an immense sense of ease in his heart.

It was only now that he realized that while the gains from this Demon Subduing Trial were not many, their value was truly immense.

Thinking of the "things gained."

Zhou Ping’an also remembered how, at the time when they passed the trial, the Little Princess Shen Bi suddenly changed her form and tapped the foreheads of the three of them.

A massive amount of information was transferred.

Due to the urgent time, he only caught a name, "Heavenly Origin Point Orifice Technique," and the complex information within had yet to be sorted out when he was immersed in the enhancement under the radiance of the Heavenly Wisdom Divine Light until now, when he finally had the leisure to digest it.

Upon studying it carefully and only halfway through, Zhou Ping’an was struck with realization.

"Indeed, it’s so. After cultivating the Prison Suppression Demon-Subduing Cultivation to fruition and forming Starry Bones through the Starlight Body Refining Technique, completing the primary condensation of a Stellar Body, what comes next is Enlightenment..."

The word "Enlightenment" was very familiar to Zhou Ping’an.

He knew that in order to break through the True Martial Realm and cultivate one’s True Form, one had to refine and open the Mysterious Barrier Aperture.

This Divine Aperture was not something that could be opened by just anyone without unique methods and medicinal aids. Ordinary people could spend their entire lives trying but would never be able to open this Divine Aperture.

According to what the Daoist texts say,

"The Mysterious Barrier Aperture, also known as the Ancestral Aperture, is an ethereal aperture, existing neither within nor without, yet never leaving the body."

"Purify the mind and solidify the spirit into the acupoint, illuminate the heart in the voidness and open..."

It sounded incredibly mystical, but put simply, the Divine Aperture was situated within the body yet was impossible to find, simultaneously nowhere and everywhere, as this entity was in constant motion, ever-changing, and without a fixed location.

Therefore, it was so difficult to cultivate.

However, once one had successfully cultivated this aperture, it instantly generated Divine Sense, the soul metamorphosed, spiritual power greatly enhanced, capable of harmoniously merging with the world, and longevity greatly increased.

This was the path a Qi Refiner tread, taking breath as the guide, spirit as the foundation, reaching the point of forming the Primordial Spirit and understanding the Laws, truly stepping onto the journey.

Precisely because this stage was exceptionally crucial, crossing it marked a distinction between mortals and immortals.

It genuinely distanced oneself from ordinary people. What one cultivated were no longer mundane Martial Techniques, but rather the true Martial Arts.

It was known as True Martial.

These were the methods Zhou Ping’an gathered from various sources to break through to the True Martial Realm.

Master Su Lianxue had only given them a hint at the beginning.

She probably hadn’t expected both Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu to cultivate so rapidly, thinking instead that in three to five years, even seven or eight years later, by the time the two were nearly consolidating their Martial Intent, then she would discuss this common knowledge.

But she never imagined that Zhou Ping’an and the other would advance so much, reaching the Mid Stage Martial Intent so prematurely, to the extent that they needed to prepare to Open the Divine Aperture.

In the Demon Subduing Trial, the knowledge Shen Bi imparted about Enlightment, of course, wasn’t about Opening Divine Apertures.

Since it was the inheritance from the Prison Subduing Demon Sect, of course, it followed the path of Physical Cultivation.

It opened Body Orifices.

’The information here clearly states that the application method for the Heavenly Origin Point Orifice Technique involves finding a piece of Heavenly Star Stone, enlightening the Heavenly Origin First Acupoint Sun Radiance, building the foundation of the Star Spirit Body, augmenting the primary source, hence transcending the ordinary.’

’This method, in opening the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices, though granting only the method to open a single acupoint, as long as this orifice was opened, the primary source would double.’

Zhou Ping’an pondered these messages with his lips pursed, suddenly his eyes shone brightly.

"To double the primary source" – what did that mean?

It meant, after opening just one orifice and accumulating enough energy, his current strength of physique would double, essentially having two selves.

If his current Basic Strength was two hundred thousand jin.

By merely opening one body orifice and filling it with Primordial Essence, he could directly go up to four hundred thousand jin.

All other Martial Techniques, ultimate moves, defenses, and burst strengths would double.

"Such an augmentation?"

"And if all nine Heavenly Origin Orifices were to be opened, wouldn’t that mean the foundation would increase ninefold?"

"This wouldn’t even belong to the layer of Mortal Refining Nine Stages."

With this thought, Zhou Ping’an looked again at the words "Heavenly Star Stone" and fell into deep contemplation.

The Cultivation Technique was excellent and the future prospects vast.

But what exactly was the "Heanvenly Star Stone," and where could he find it? He would need to inquire more about it.

Perhaps it wasn’t necessarily something that fell from the sky as a meteorite.

It might not be that hard to find.

He could not cultivate this method for now.

Zhou Ping’an didn’t have the spare time to send people to search thoroughly.

He had matters weighing on his mind, and after some thought, realized his confidence was already substantial enough, and there was no need to seek near certainty.

"Then, let’s deal with Cui Guangling first, to prevent this fellow from causing any more trouble."

Zhou Ping’an rose to his full height.

Slung the longsword onto his back and stepped out of his residence.

This time, he was prepared to make a complete cleanup of Guangyun County to send out the strongest sound he could in this world.
