Chapter 34: Supreme Innate Spirit Treasure – The Celestial Star Map, Mid-Stage Da Luo
In fact, calling it a key is not entirely accurate. It should be described as a source spirit treasure.
It was a scroll, and surrounding it flowed the dense and pure aura of the Nine Heavens, with endless starlight cascading down from above, giving it a mystical and otherworldly appearance.

His fingers formed a seal as he immediately released several runes, beginning to refine the scroll.
With his Da Luo-level cultivation, it didn’t take long for him to refine the scroll at a basic level. He also obtained the scroll’s detailed information.
The scroll was named the Zhou Tian Star Map. It contained forty-eight innate spiritual prohibitions, a supreme innate spirit treasure, and it recorded the arrangement of the Zhou Tian stars, allowing the summoning and control of the Zhou Tian star power for defense or cultivation.
At the same time, this scroll was a manifestation of the origin of the Heavenly Realm. It could summon starlight and transport it to the Heavenly Realm at any time, which was what was referred to as a key.
“An outstanding innate spirit treasure, and an extremely high-grade one at that. Tsk tsk, I wonder if this item is related to the future Demon Clan’s Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation,” thought Zhong Yue as he studied the Star Map in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The war between the Wu and Demon clans had the Demon Clan as the primary force in the Heavenly Domain. While he had yet to directly oppose the Demon Clan, there would surely be conflicts later on. Moreover, the Kunpeng who had fled previously would later become a master of the Demon Clan. The karmic ties had already been formed, and there would undoubtedly be a reckoning in the future. He had to prepare in advance.
Now, with the Zhou Tian Star Map in hand, it was undoubtedly a powerful weapon against the Demon Clan. How could he not be happy?
Sitting cross-legged at the gathering place of the Heavenly Realm’s origin, Zhong Yue immediately began refining the Zhou Tian Star Map at a deeper level.
In theory, a Da Luo-level cultivator could refine thirty-six layers of innate spiritual prohibitions.
With his transcendent comprehension, Zhong Yue spent eight hundred years to refine a total of forty layers of innate spiritual prohibitions before finally stopping.
Forty layers of innate spiritual prohibitions meant that Zhong Yue had essentially mastered the Zhou Tian Star Map and gained much information from it.
The most crucial point was the function of summoning the star power.
For millions of years, no one had set foot in the Heavenly Realm, and naturally, no one had ever summoned the star power. Its density was almost unimaginable.
Without hesitation, Zhong Yue sat cross-legged and immediately summoned the Zhou Tian Star Map.
In an instant, the scroll flew and quickly expanded, hovering above the celestial palace.
The star power poured down like the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, with countless stars crossing the sky, and the star energy was dazzling beyond measure.
The star power seemed to take on substance as it flowed, forming an overwhelming surge that washed over the Thirty-Third Heaven in an instant.
The star power accumulated over millions of years was so terrifying that it exceeded Zhong Yue’s expectations.
He sat in the center of the star river, his indestructible heavenly work shining brightly. His body emanated an aura of devouring the world, absorbing endless star power to refine his body.
At this moment, Zhong Yue’s blood flowed like molten mercury, each drop crystal clear, resembling red rubies. Upon closer inspection, one could see the starry light flowing within, making Zhong Yue appear like an incarnation of a star deity.
Time passed, and Zhong Yue’s body aura grew stronger, while the star power around him was quickly consumed.
Simultaneously, the changes within Zhong Yue’s body were immense.
A pure breath rose from the top of his head and bloomed into a glowing flower in the sky.
This flower was different from the previous Qi flower. It was red and, under the faint starlight, appeared exceptionally brilliant.
This was the Essence Flower, a result of the body reaching perfection. Once his essence and energy became complete, this flower would bloom.
As before, a figure sat upon the Essence Flower, but this figure was still hazy and unclear.
Fortunately, the surrounding area was abundant in energy. The starry light was an excellent nourishment, constantly nurturing the Essence Flower, allowing the figure on the flower to solidify.
At the same time, the Essence Flower itself was absorbing the star essence. The petals bloomed, and it continued until it had opened nine layers before finally stopping.
The flower swayed in the wind, growing even more mysterious and profound under the starlight. The figure on the flower gradually became clearer.
“Hmm? My appearance from my previous life?”
As he gazed at the figure’s face, Zhong Yue was stunned.
On the Essence Flower’s petals sat a figure wearing a white shirt, with an ordinary face, and it was unmistakably Zhong Yue’s appearance from his previous life.
Seeing this, Zhong Yue couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“No, didn’t we agree on the Three Bodies of Heaven, Earth, and Man? Why does it look more and more like my past, present, and future self?”
Though he smiled bitterly, Zhong Yue knew that this was indeed one of the Three Bodies of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Because when this figure was fully formed, he also obtained information about it. It was the Human Body from the Three Bodies.
Shaking his head slightly, he didn’t have time to think too much. Zhong Yue immediately resumed his cultivation.
He looked up and howled to the sky. His indestructible heavenly work roared into action, releasing an immense force, and his internal energy surged.
In an instant, an overwhelming aura erupted from Zhong Yue’s body, rapidly increasing, and he broke through his limits.
Buzz~
The void hummed, and Zhong Yue’s divine radiance surged within his body, so dazzling that even the surrounding starlight could not suppress it.
Mid-stage Da Luo—he had made it!
After the breakthrough, Zhong Yue did not stop his actions. He continued to absorb the star power, refining his physical body and energy, and honing his Dao cultivation.
Although he had broken through, the star power he consumed was minimal, only about one-tenth of the total amount.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhong Yue was not only refining his power but also using the Zhou Tian Star Map to store the star power thoroughly.
Of course, this action had its limits. During the process, the Star Map absorbed and devoured part of the star power, and the longer it was kept, the more it devoured.
However, with so much star essence, it didn’t matter if the Star Map absorbed it—after all, it was nurturing his own spirit treasure. It was better than leaving it for the Demon Clan in the future.
While Zhong Yue was packing up, two figures appeared atop Mount Bu Zhou, outside the Thirty-Third Heaven.
The visitors were Di Jun and Fu Xi. They had come from the Sun Palace and headed directly here, seemingly with prior plans.
Fu Xi held the Luo Shu (a divination book), with the He Tu (the River Map) above his head, while Di Jun controlled the Sun and Moon Golden Wheels, exuding an imposing aura and magnificent presence.
“We’ve found it.”
Fu Xi suddenly smiled with delight, his eyes flashing with two brilliant beams of light as he walked toward a specific point in the void.
Di Jun also showed a pleased expression and quickly followed Fu Xi’s steps.
