I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 363 - 293: Heart’s Shackles

The flick of a finger, a hundred years of time has passed, fleeting like a white steed darting past a crack.

The Double Star Wonders at the core of the Great Wilderness remain magnificent, the entwined crimson and azure stars gracing the heavens, with a void black hole devouring all things; such a spectacle has remained unchanged since antiquity.

Seventeen thousand miles deep into the core region of the Double Star Wonders, the space here has long since been distorted to the extreme, with black meteoric substances floating in the void, each piece harboring a terrifying power enough to crush a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Even ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivators would find it difficult to reach this place even if they used all their strength.

But at this moment, a cyan sword light is threading between, weaving back and forth, where the sword light passes, those meteoric substances that could destroy a Nascent Soul Body are instantly cut into countless pieces, dissipating into the void.

As the sword light slowly faded, the figure of a man dressed in cyan appeared.

His clothes were stained with much dust, his hair disheveled, giving him a somewhat battered look, yet his eyes were as bright as stars, exuding an uncontrollable boldness.

Chen Fengxing, holding the Cyan Blade, laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the void, carrying a hint of arrogance and confidence:

"With a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, to be able to reach here, how many have managed this throughout the ancients and present?"

As the unequivocal leader of the next generation of the Chen Clan in the Eastern Domain, Chen Fengxing was born with a Celestial Grade Fire Spirit Root, his cultivation talent could only be described as heaven-defying.

Now, at just over seven hundred years old, he already attained the Late-stage Nascent Soul, far surpassing his peers.

What’s more commendable is his profound understanding of the family’s "Void Sword Scripture," mastering some Void Destruction Dao Rhyme.

At the Great Wilderness Sword Conference some years back, he overshadowed several Late-stage Nascent Soul Sword Monarchs, seizing the title of the top, hailed as the Eastern Domain’s future "Divinity Transformation Dao Seed," the hope of the whole Chen Clan.

However, as Chen Fengxing indulged in the joy of self-transcendence, his expression suddenly changed, his Sword Heart uncontrollably quickened, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart like a tide.

Instinctively, he looked towards the center of the Double Star Wonders, his Divine Sense vaguely perceiving the void there was violently churning, with countless dark thunder arcs flickering within.

A void thunderstorm, brimming with a sky-piercing momentum, was rapidly forming, threatening to spread in all directions, that destructive aura posed a mortal threat to him.

"How could this be?"

Chen Fengxing exclaimed, eyes filled with disbelief.

The Double Star Wonders have always been known for stability, even if thunderstorm voids occur occasionally, they are swallowed by surrounding black holes at the onset, never appearing on such a scale.

He was full of doubts: "What kind of mutation has occurred in the core region to trigger such a terrifying thunderstorm?"

The intense sense of crisis left Chen Fengxing with no room for negligence, he quickly channeled the mana within him, transforming into a sword light to retreat backward.

At the same time, he unhesitatingly retrieved a talisman shimmering with spatial fluctuations from his Storage Ring — a Void Shifting Talisman custom-made by the Chen Clan.

With the talisman crushed, a spatial channel appeared before him, Chen Fengxing leaped into it, utilizing the talisman’s power to swiftly retreat from the core region.

Nevertheless, only after retreating several thousand miles did Chen Fengxing’s expression change again.

He clearly sensed an incomparably vast sword light shooting up from the core region of the Double Stars, like a meteor tearing through the sky, carrying an unmatched might, directly clashing into the forming void thunderstorm.

"Boom"

With a tremendous roar, the sword light collided with the thunderstorm, a terrifying energy shockwave spread in all directions, but that sword light, like an indestructible sharp blade, instantly shredded the sky-piercing void thunderstorm.

What shocked Chen Fengxing even more was that he felt an incredibly familiar resonance with Heaven and Earth.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around seemed to be awakened, starting to become restless, swirling around the core region of the Double Stars, forming visible Spiritual Energy Vortexes.

"This is... a Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation!" Chen Fengxing’s heart skipped a beat, eyes full of astonishment: "And also a Celestial Venerable of Sword Dao!"

He immediately halted his retreat, looking with awe at the core region of the Double Stars.

As a core member of the Chen Clan, he was aware of all the Celestial Venerables of Divinity Transformation in the Great Wilderness Four Domains, but this Celestial Venerable of Sword Dao before him, was none he knew.

Referencing the prior mutations in the core region, Chen Fengxing instantly understood:

"This Celestial Venerable, most likely just broke through, utilizing the power of the Double Star Wonders to cause Heaven and Earth resonance, leading to this thunderstorm."

Yet in the next moment, Chen Fengxing furrowed his brows again, a trace of doubt arising in his heart:

"No, a Divinity Transformation breakthrough should inevitably bring forth a Divinity Transformation Celestial Tribulation, but aside from the void thunderstorm earlier, there was no sign of any celestial tribulation."

"Moreover, the range of this Heaven and Earth resonance seems much smaller than a typical breakthrough of a Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation."

...

Meanwhile, at the very core of the Double Star Wonders, mere thousands of miles in a straight line from the red and blue double stars.

Chen Sheng’s figure stood quietly in the void.

The material wave shock here had long reached a terrifying degree, with each impact strong enough to completely annihilate the Dharma Body of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator.

Yet Chen Sheng seemed untouched, the Cyan Nether Sword hovering around him, emitting a faint cyan sword light.

Those raging material wave shocks, upon nearing him, split automatically as if encountering an invisible barrier, completely penetrated and causing him no harm whatsoever.

For a hundred years, Chen Sheng had been cultivating within the ten thousand miles core region of the Double Star Wonders, refining his sword with the mighty power of heaven and earth derived from the stars, battling void storms and material wave shocks.

Under extreme pressure, his cultivation rapidly broke through to the late-stage Nascent Soul, and the sword techniques he created became increasingly perfected.

As his sword techniques matured, he gradually approached the most core region of the double stars.

Finally, not long ago, the sword techniques he created reached perfection, the Penetration Dao Rhyme achieved great success, allowing him to break into the core area smoothly.

Just now, that void thunderstorm was triggered by his initial sword strike, directly piercing the yin and yang intertwined void node of the double stars.

And the second sword that followed was his second complete execution of the newly created sword technique, effortlessly shattering the thunderstorm that could threaten a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator.

"After a hundred years of contemplation, I finally comprehended this sword."

Chen Sheng looked at the void where the collapsing thunderstorm was gradually being absorbed by a black hole, revealing a rare satisfied smile.

He spoke softly to himself, with a bit of relief and excitement in his tone:

"This sword contests with heaven and earth, the double stars sway, my heart rejoices, as if gaining great freedom, let it be called... Xing Yue!"

At the moment he finished speaking, Chen Sheng distinctly felt the Penetration Dao Rhyme reach full perfection, an invisible barrier instantly shattering, with the Penetration Dao Principle Prototype formally transforming into a complete Dao Principle.

He slowly closed his eyes, his heart spirit sinking into his body, and he entered a mysterious state.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around began to converge towards him, and the surrounding world formed a subtle connection with him, as if the entire world had merged with him.

With a single thought, he could leverage the surrounding power of heaven and earth using the newly perfected Penetration Dao Principle.

"This is... Heaven and Earth Resonance!"

These four characters quickly surfaced in Chen Sheng’s mind.

According to cultivation realm conventions, achieving Heaven and Earth Resonance is only possible by breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, transforming the Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit, merging it with heaven and earth, thus enabling one to leverage the power of heaven and earth through the Primordial Spirit, while deeply comprehending the operation of heaven and earth and understanding the Dao Principle.

Chen Sheng secretly calculated in his heart: "My Heaven and Earth Resonance can barely leverage the power of heaven and earth within a thousand-mile range, compared to the Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation who can easily extend over ten thousand miles, it’s far inferior."

"Moreover, though I can barely trigger Heaven and Earth Resonance, I haven’t condensed a Primordial Spirit, unable to comprehend the operation of heaven and earth and understand the Dao Principle like a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, it’s just that my perception of the Dao Principle has become clearer by a few degrees."

He slightly opened his eyes, feeling the connection between his body and heaven and earth, a knowing smile emerging:

"However, for me, the greatest benefit of leveraging Heaven and Earth Resonance is to mirror the heart’s sea, allowing me to see clearly the Heart’s Shackles!"

With a single thought, Chen Sheng once again closed his eyes, his heart spirit sinking into the heart’s sea.

An enormous heart’s image world instantly unfolded before him, countless phantasmal apparitions flickering within the world.

There were scenes of slaughter from his past lives, fear in the face of crisis, greed when acquiring resources, and caution when facing formidable enemies... these apparitions were facets of his personality.

Ultimately, countless apparitions converged, transforming into a winding and twisting path, symbolizing his cultivation journey through several reincarnations.

But at this moment, a thin layer of mist shrouded the sky above this cultivation path, rendering it indistinct.

Standing at the end of the path, he couldn’t see the direction ahead, even the road behind him had become somewhat blurred.

"So, it turns out, no wonder in my previous life, I found nothing during my enlightenment within the Four Seas Grotto Heaven of mundane dust, my shackles are unrelated to the Four Seas’ worldly dust."

A flash of understanding struck Chen Sheng’s heart:

"The memories and experiences of several reincarnations, although having helped me avoid many detours on the cultivation path, unknowingly caused my heart’s sea to become elusive, instead forging a solid shackle impeding my breakthrough to Divinity Transformation!"

Understanding the crux of the problem, Chen Sheng’s mindset became more lucid, breaking free from the shackles, seeing heart and understanding nature, and thus proving the Primordial Spirit!

"Without knowing the path taken, how can one discern the future? To break this shackle, one must tread the cultivation path anew."
