In the Spirit Ruins, the Planet Projection radiated brilliance. After a while, the light faded, and the Planet Projection appeared more refined, with some changes.

Within the Great Wilderness, due to the existence of the Divine Cauldron Restriction, Qin Jin could not master the Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking. Using the Thunder Star as a foundation, after mastering this technique, if the Star Sea were a vast ocean, the Thunder Star would be a lighthouse within it. Standing under the lighthouse, one naturally receives the greatest blessing, but if traveling far away, the light provided by the lighthouse becomes nearly nonexistent.

This might be the difference between planets and stars.

And now...

This power of blessing, however, continues to increase.

He stepped on the head of the Fantasy True Dragon, took a step forward, activated the Walking Secret, and disappeared in a flash, reappearing at a distance.

In place.

The Fantasy True Dragon’s eyes suddenly widened as it watched this scene.

"My mastery of the Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking has not improved."

"Then, the root cause of all this must be the Thunder Star."

Qin Jin’s thoughts were clear, and his understanding of the Gaia Planet was profound. He mused to himself, "The advancement of Gaia Planet is also gradual and not an overnight process, and my current journey has not been long."

"So, does that mean..."

"The only possible variable, could it be the Celestial Cyan Technique?"

Qin Jin contemplated, "Perhaps Your Excellency the Observer has had some enlightenment in the Celestial Cyan Technique, leading to all these changes, even... the change in the Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking may not be due to the planet becoming stronger, but rather because Lord Star God’s understanding of the Celestial Cyan Technique caused the Thunder Star to change, becoming more aligned with the Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking."

"The essence of this True Scripture outside the Divine Cauldron Restriction may not be affected by distance."

His thoughts churned rapidly, and he slowly exhaled.

This change was very sudden, but the improvement of his homeland and Your Excellency the Observer were things he was pleased to see.

"When Your Excellency the Observer’s avatar returns, the truth outside the restriction will be known."

After musing to himself, Qin Jin gathered his thoughts.

Beside him.

The body of the Fantasy True Dragon moved, coming to Qin Jin’s side.

Qin Jin glanced at it, lowered his eyes slightly, and softly said, "When I leave, you will have to live on this Desolate Star by yourself."

"At that time, how far you can go will depend on your own fortune."

The Fantasy True Dragon blinked its dragon eyes and nodded vigorously.

Having obtained the [Reversed Scale], coupled with its continuous growth during this time, it had gradually lost its initial naïve appearance and had become somewhat more intelligent.

The dragon hunts outside.

Qin Jin returned to the courtyard and began the Demonstration again.

Confirming one’s own path seems easy to say, but it is extremely complex, a lifelong pursuit of many cultivators and evolvers, extremely important.

In the entire area, there was only one person and one dragon interacting, yet it did not seem lonely.

The road of Seeking the Way has always been long and arduous.

...

Great Wilderness.

Southwest Border, Cyan Wood Temple.

On the peak, beneath the Black and White Divine Tree, without the Ancestral Master, a lone youth stood, hands behind his back, gazing towards the firmament.

Master Qingmu, Su Changqing.

The weather was normal, but reflected in his eyes, a marvelous change emerged, as if seeing through the Sky Curtain to the Divine Cauldron Restriction above.

"There are indeed many old marks left."

"But on the day of true return, it will ultimately be a time of new replacing old, not the old world anymore."

The sound of musing arose.

Behind him, as the Divine Tree swayed, one of the branches was particularly vigorous, extending and spreading out. On the branch, a ’cage’ was made of layered buds and leaves, and as it reached the ground, the leaves unfolded like unlocking, revealing the life within.

Sheep Sacrificial Spirit, Qi Mountain.

This Sacrificial Spirit, whose true form was a Unihorned Sheep, was physically reduced greatly for unknown reasons, now half the size of an ordinary arm, appearing small and delicate, with eyes tightly closed, sleeping.

Su Changqing turned around and looked at it.

He waved his sleeve, drawing the white light from the Black and White Divine Tree into the surroundings of Qi Mountain. After trembling several times, it slowly opened its eyes.

"Where is this?"

Confusion flashed in its eyes, followed closely by vigilance. It sensed a change within itself and struggled to stand.

As it stood, the extending branches of the Divine Tree behind it retracted.

The gaze of Qi Mountain was filled with wariness and caution as it looked at Su Changqing, "Who are you?"

"I am the Temple Master here."

Su Changqing’s tone was gentle as he looked at Qi Mountain, his eyes showing interest, "A very intriguing young friend delivered you here, hoping that I would extend your life."

"Considering your meritorious service to the Human Race, I happen to have an interest in a Sacrificial Spirit like you; you may remain here."

"Do not leave the Temple."

"Your end is near, and you are grievously injured. Within the Temple, your life can be extended; outside, you will wither completely."

With those words.

The expression of Qi Mountain fluctuated.

"Was it the Fire Sacrificial Spirit that sent me here?"

It had a fleeting thought, and while listening to the words, it also took in its surroundings. Seeing the extraordinary Divine Tree behind and the Divine Light descending from afar, its thoughts suddenly became clear: "Is this a mutated land within the Great Wilderness?"

"And this Temple Master?"

Its gaze towards Su Changqing became increasingly cautious, aligning its understanding and speculation, and then a bold idea emerged in its mind.

"Your Excellency..."

"Are you an Elder Sage of the Human Race?"

"Elder Sage?"

Su Changqing’s eyes flashed slightly as he spoke calmly, "Those two words carry great significance."

"From your words, have you met an Elder Sage of my Human Race?"

"Never met, only heard of."
