"Go further in," Mo Jingzhou said.
In that instant, Gu Zhan’s divine sense entered Mo Jingzhou’s dantian, and it was as if he had entered a cave abode. It was a vast, expansive space with a spirit platform standing within.
"A space with a spirit platform," Gu Zhan said.
Mo Jingzhou slowly withdrew his hand,
Gu Zhan’s divine sense returned instantly, he opened his eyes, puzzled, "Why is there a spirit platform in your dantian?"
The spirit platform is where the divine sense gathers,
All martial artists can sense the spirit platform in their sea of consciousness, but it only exists there and can’t be in the dantian.
Mo Jingzhou coughed lightly and said, "This is what confuses . Ever since the day I broke through to Supre Grandmaster, I discovered that there was another spirit platform appearing in my dantian, or rather, a new space had been opened within my dantian.
Forrly, I always thought there might be an essential change between a Supre Grandmaster and a Grandmaster, so I kept cultivating. But as my cultivation advanced step by step, the space within the dantian beca larger and larger. Gradually, a spirit platform appeared, but that was all. There was no difference; it was like an irrelevant addition. My cultivation did not strengthen, blood and essence did not change, and my insights into the world did not shift."
Gu Zhan asked in confusion, "You haven’t investigated it?"
"I have," Mo Jingzhou said, "I have searched through many ancient books but found no records. Many Supre Grandmasters have also raised doubts and speculations, but none were confird.
I visited so ancient sects, including top-level forces like Yunxi’s Qianyu Sect and the Golden Crow Sword Sect. The Supre Grandmasters in their sects were also puzzled by this but found no subsequent records.
Later, we went to Sword King City for guidance, but even Wei Wuya said he didn’t know. Ultimately, we sought an audience with the Land Immortal in the Grotto Heaven Realm of Sword King City."
Gu Zhan asked, "What did he say?"
"He said nothing," Mo Jingzhou replied, "He did not explain what the space and spirit platform were for. He rely told us, ’If the spirit platform is rootless, the martial path is at its end; do not force it further.’
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "That’s it?"
"That’s it," Mo Jingzhou replied, "At that ti, I was still strong and full of energy, naturally unconvinced. So I visited everywhere but found nothing. All the Supre Grandmasters exploring like found nothing.
I have discussed with many peers and speculated that this might relate to breaking through to the Grotto Heaven Realm. However, the thods for breaking through to the Grotto Heaven Realm are within the ancient traditions of places like Sword King City, beyond our reach. After many years of futile searching, I turned my attention to managing Beidou Bang."
Gu Zhan pondered silently for a long ti, then asked, "So, even you don’t know how to break through to the Grotto Heaven Realm?"
"I do not know," Mo Jingzhou replied, "In my youth, my talent was not as good as yours, but I was a late bloor. Fortunately, I broke through the Dao Realm at thirty, and within a few years, achieved Supre Grandmaster, considered a prodigy. But in the end, I spent a lifeti unable to unravel the mystery of the Grotto Heaven."
Gu Zhan asked again, "What impression did you get from eting the Land Immortal in the Grotto Heaven Realm?"
"Unfathomable," Mo Jingzhou said, "I didn’t have too many feelings, only that he was unfathomable. He stood before , but my perception was like a stagnant pool,
When the Elder Celestial Master of Sword King City patted my shoulder, I was already at the peak of Supre Grandmaster, with a cultivation I believed unmatched with few rivals, even considering Wei Wuya with Sword King City’s foundation, I did not consider myself inferior to him.
Yet, when the Elder Celestial Master touched my shoulder, I didn’t notice a thing. I felt no desire to resist at all. It was that shoulder pat that extinguished so inappropriate thoughts in my mind. I understood that no matter how strong I was, I could not be an opponent of the Elder Celestial Master. Even if I mastered several divine techniques, I had no qualification to challenge the Elder Celestial Master."
Seeing the lingering fear in Mo Jingzhou’s expression, Gu Zhan was sowhat puzzled and asked, "Since the Elder Celestial Master is so powerful, why doesn’t Sword King City unify the Yunxi Martial World directly? I don’t believe it’s for so righteous cause; in the face of profit, no one cares about such things."
Mo Jingzhou nodded, "It took many years to form a speculation that Grotto Heaven Realm great power should have certain restrictions. It’s rare to hear of Grotto Heaven Realm great powers appearing in the world. Even during the righteous and demon war back then, when Demon Dao was defeated and fled to the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon Dao Ancestor never appeared. There was only a dialogue across space between the Demon Dao Ancestor and the Elder Celestial Master, and then the Elder Celestial Master ceded the Ten Thousand Mountains to Demon Dao."
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Clearly possessing invincible cultivation yet unable to appear in the world, that’s rather strange."
"It is very strange," Mo Jingzhou said, "But I no longer have the ti to uncover the truth."
With that, Mo Jingzhou slowly said, "By the way, Gu Zhan, if you ever have the chance to obtain a divine technique, be sure to cultivate several. Relying solely on the Water Manipulation Skill has too many limitations.
You know the restrictions of divine techniques, for instance, the Water Manipulation Skill; it cannot leave water and is easily countered. It’s a pity that I found only the Water Manipulation Skill in my life, which has too many limitations. For decades, I have hardly dared to leave Canglan Dao; otherwise, my achievents might have been greater. I hope you will not be so limited,
