Chapter 510: Chapter 360: Path of the Star River in the Void

"This is..."

Zhong Heng did not feel any pain.

What appeared before his eyes was a world of five colors.

Amidst the five-colored light were scattered fragments.

There was no sky, no earth, nothing else, only the five-colored light surrounding Zhong Heng.

Zhong Heng’s Divine Sense reached outward.

His pupils contracted.

"The void?!"

His Divine Sense suddenly connected.

The Divine Sense, which was considered strong at the Foundation Establishment Realm, rapidly expanded.

Zhong Heng’s mind was almost exploding.

His vision began to expand infinitely.

In an instant, he seemed to swell from the body of a seven-foot-tall cultivator.

The violent expansion of his Divine Sense allowed him to overlook all beings like a massive giant.

The void...

An endless, ancient void.

However, in the void, countless light spots floated.

Beside him, a colossal object large enough to fill the entire view came into sight.

Even though Zhong Heng had transformed into a ’giant’ in his Divine Sense...

Yet he still could not fully take in the gigantic object.

"Jiuzhou..."

This thought emerged in Zhong Heng’s mind.

He suddenly turned around.

He saw behind him a giant gourd.

At the mouth of the gourd, there was a small dark figure.

That small dark figure was actually himself?!

And behind the gourd, around it, were light spots like a brilliant Star River.

The light spots spread, extending to the ’light cluster’ formed by Jiuzhou.

Just like a rugged Path of the Star River.

"These are... the Secret Realm Worlds broken off from Jiuzhou..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Zhong Heng even saw several quite large light clusters among them, like small suns, still insignificant compared to Jiuzhou but also not to be ignored.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Deep in his mind, the River Map emitted light.

"The aura of Luo Book!!!!!!!"

Zhong Heng’s emotions were unknowably heightened to the maximum.

This was the influence of the River Map.

The River Map wanted to drive him, to use all means to find the whereabouts of the Luo Book.

"I am not the Master of River Map and have no such mission!"

Zhong Heng hated this feeling, forcefully resisting the drive of the River Map.

The River Map became more turbulent.

Zhong Heng’s tone softened: "However, since I have received the grace of the River Map, I will naturally strive to search, but this matter cannot be rushed."

Only then did the influence of the River Map slowly dissipate.

Zhong Heng gasped for breath.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself once more at the mouth of the gourd.

The surrounding five-colored divine light was emerging from within the gourd.

"Huh?"

Zhong Heng, just recovered from the turbulence of the River Map, looked again and suddenly discovered that there were fragments hidden amidst the surrounding five-colored divine light.

His Divine Sense seemed greatly enhanced, nearly touching the limits of the Foundation Establishment Stage, allowing him to perceive the fragmented scenes within the surrounding five-colored light.

Zhong Heng infused True Essence into his eyes, causing pure white divine light to flicker within them.

Two critical scenes were extracted by Zhong Heng from the many chaotic scenes.

Several figures rode a massive battleship to the front of Jiuzhou.

A huge pillar of light crashed into the center of Jiuzhou, the Central State.

In just an instant, the light cluster manifesting Jiuzhou was like a disturbed beehive, and at least a hundred streams of light surged out from it.

The battleship instantaneously turned to dust, and the figures on it were captured and sealed.

A faint barrier began to appear over Jiuzhou, blocking that pillar of light.

The scene ended here.

The second scene.

It was a world shattering.

The earth split, the sky was torn apart.

Two figures soared into the sky from the ground.

It was a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in simple gray robes, holding a Five-Colored Book.

From the book, countless Spirit Beasts emerged.

The woman was dressed in white, like a Celestial Maiden, holding a sword, with awe-inspiring Sword Intent.

The scene flashed and broke.

But Zhong Heng seemed to see a familiar object at the man’s waist.

"That looks like... a gourd?!"

The scene abruptly ended.

Zhong Heng’s expression changed several times.

Suddenly, the surrounding five-colored light flickered.

"Inheritance candidate:

Qualification: Five Spirit Roots

Cultivation Level: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment

Bone Age: One hundred and eight years

No Beast Taming related physique, no Demon Race related bloodline, identified as having no Beast Taming related talent..."

"Does not meet the qualification, initiating automatic teleportation process..."

Several thoughts flashed through Zhong Heng’s mind.

Everything previously investigated was slowly connected into a line by Zhong Heng.

The collapse of Jiuzhou, especially severe at the Central State.

Great Xia is a Secret Realm World formed from a fragment of the broken Central State.

And perhaps within it, two peerless experts from Jiuzhou made a move.

Could these two be Immortal Companions?

The man excelled in Beast Taming, with the Five Elements Sacred Beasts in the lead, the woman excelled in swordsmanship.

The Celestial Maiden Valley of Great Xia, and the legends of the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts?

Originally, Zhong Heng thought the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts might be illusory projections from an Array; now it seems they could be actual Spirit Beasts.

Even though they might be just five powerful Spirit Beasts with the bloodlines of the Four Holy Beasts and the Qilin.

The Immortal Companions possibly opposed the culprits behind the Central State’s collapse and vanished? Or perhaps died?

Nevertheless, they left an inheritance.

The key to the inheritance is the hairpin containing the Qi of the Five Elements.

Zhong Heng was unsure of the cultivation levels of this Immortal Couple, but at least Divinity Transformation, possibly True Immortals.

Such beings’ inheritance is generally left to fate, but that token to unlock the inheritance: the hairpin, should not take so long to be accidentally discovered by a Great Xia Cultivator until now...

Perhaps an error occurred in some part.

Or the inheritance was only spread within Great Xia, and those cultivators there who obtained such an opportunity lacked the qualifications.

At least among Jiuzhou Cultivators, only Zhong Heng obtained the qualification for inheritance.

It seems those two Pseudo Core Cultivators from the Great Xia Secret Realm who attacked the Three Clouds Market likely stumbled into this Inheritance Secret Realm accidently...
