Chapter 586: Chapter 483 Divine Thought Clash + Chapter 484 Clear Fantian

In the quiet room,

Zhou Ping’an sat before the grinding stone, listening to the man-made brook tinkling as it flowed, his mood neither sad nor happy, quietly watching the black and white stone in his palm.

This stone was somewhat strange; when he concentrated his spiritual power to observe, he would realize that it actually had no real form but was instead a vortex, emanating a sense of ancient desolation.

As long as he withdrew his Divine Will and just looked with his naked eyes, it appeared as a finely crafted and delicate piece, like a piece of top-grade jade used for decorative purposes.

The touch in his palm was consistent with what he saw with his eyes, smooth, delicate, and warm...

Then, when his gaze shifted away and he no longer focused on the stone, he could no longer see even a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

"Whether I look or don’t look, whether I use spiritual power or not, it exhibits two different forms. This thing seems to be in a constant state of uncertain transformation."

He had held the stone for several Shichen already.

Although Zhou Ping’an was anxious to use this Heavenly Star Stone to open the first of the "Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices," the "Sun" Star Acupoint, he always felt something was not right.

A faint sense of crisis enveloped his entire body.

He meticulously searched his body and even his soul, but ultimately couldn’t find anything wrong.

Hence, the problem must be with this stone.

If given the choice, considering his tendency towards fortune and away from misfortune, Zhou Ping’an would actually prefer not to touch this "unlucky object" snatched from the body of the Blood Asura.

But given his urgency to open the Body Orifice and significantly enhance his strength, he was somewhat reluctant to just let it go.

A point of Pure Yang ignited his heart orifice, followed by the Five Yin Yang Elements.

Although he had only received the method to open the first orifice, "Sun," from the Little Princess Shen Bi during the Demon Subduing Trial, Zhou Ping’an roughly guessed what path it entailed.

The first orifice to open in Body Enlightenment was precisely the Nine Luminaries First Star.

The implications were certainly worth pondering.

He suspected that it was either the path of the Ancient Demon God or the path of the Star Spirit Body.

Currently, he had too little information to be certain.

The complete array of Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices Cultivation methods wasn’t in his possession yet, and to get the full version, he probably needed to undertake another Demon Subduing Trial, so for now, he tried not to think about it too much.

At the moment, he only thought that once the first orifice was opened, his Body Refinement path would have combat power comparable to the True Martial Realm of the Qi Refining Path. After all, opening the Body Orifice in Body Refinement and opening the Divine Aperture in Qi Refinement were ultimately on the same level.

And he, cultivating both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement, had powerful techniques in both paths, which coordinated together would make fighting higher levels easy and promising for his future advancement.

This approach was, in effect, a way to elevate his realm.

At least, it prevented certain individuals from suppressing him through unusual means.

"There is danger, but this sensation is not too strong, barely twice as intense as when I first stealthily explored the Governor’s Mansion and intruded into the Formation; it’s nothing much..."

With this thought, Zhou Ping’an gritted his teeth.

He checked the Illusion Lotus created by his "Lotus Shadow Replacement" skill.

Then looked at the "Soul Protecting Lotus Robe" protecting his Sea of Soul Consciousness.

He felt a bit more settled.

With a flip of his palm, he pressed the black and white stone against his chest.

This was the first phase of "Heavenly Origin Positioning" called "Heart Blood Irrigation, All Stars Return to Origin."

Strange to say,

As he pressed down, it felt not like pressing a solid object, but rather like pressing a shadow. His heart throbbed intensely, illusions emerged in his mind.

At that moment, he seemed to find himself within the boundless void of space.

Here, surrounded by infinite darkness and silence from all directions, there was nothing visible but eternal solitude as if it would freeze his soul.

"Bad news, this is being pulled into a spiritual prison by a massive force."

Zhou Ping’an felt his spiritual power lagging, his thoughts slowing, and a sharp sense of crisis hammered at him.

He realized this wasn’t a normal occurrence but a sort of soul attack.

"Bright Moon..."

Zhou Ping’an silently recited the Heart Sutra of Vast Cold, picturing the cold void moon.

With a slight shift in his thought, his spiritual power surged, and far in the void, a bright moon appeared—so far yet so near.

The moment he saw the light, his senses returned.

A slight illusion before his eyes, and he saw a giant monastery appearing in the void.

Pavilions, towers, and pagodas everywhere.

In front of a giant hall paved with white jade, a young monk stood quietly, his left hand raised to his chest forming a Lotus Seed Mudra, his face showing a half-smile, his eyes filled with boundless compassion.

Though he appeared young,

Zhou Ping’an saw in the monk’s eyes the weight of years and the breadth of the mortal world.

"Pretending to be a God, interfering with spirits, if I am not mistaken, are you Master Xuan Ming? Truly your spirit is restless. I never expected, after shattering the Blood God and slaying the Asura, that you would still leave behind a trace of Soul Consciousness in this Yin Yang Void Stone. Such a dirty trick..."

Zhou Ping’an’s mind stirred, now clear about what the other party’s method was?

And the source of the dangerous perception troubling him.

"World Honored One’s Big Dream Three Thousand, transmitting methods across four billion eight hundred million worlds, illuminating the universe with infinite bright light..."

The monk didn’t reply, just continued to recite what seemed to be incoherent sutras.

From the moment he started speaking, Zhou Ping’an found his hostility gradually melting away, a thought inexplicably arising in his heart, "The Buddha Sect is vast indeed, truly possessing boundless power."
