After a dizzying spin, when Zhuang Buzhou found his footing again, he looked around and saw that he was in a special space.
It was vast and empty, appearing like a Void Realm with nothing in it, completely bare, and just as he found it strange, a golden eye appeared above his head.
From that eye, he could feel an inexplicable majesty.
An involuntary sense of reverence arose within him.
“To become a World Spirit Master, one must possess their own Inner World, to evolve their Dao Soldiers for battle and defense.
A top-tier World Spirit Master can form an army alone, become Heaven and Earth alone, and be a world unto themselves.
As the Inner World grows, if one obtains an Opportunity, it can achieve a perfect world and manifest a Domain.
Within the Domain, boundless power can be mobilized.
World Spirits are Dao Soldiers.
The stronger the Dao Soldiers, the stronger the World Spirit Master.”
“The first step for a World Spirit Master is to open an Inner World within the body.
There are three methods for opening an Inner World: first, by Awakening a special Spiritual Root, one can open it within their special Spiritual Root, bearing the Inner World; this is a superior method.
Second, within the Dantian, one can open an Inner Heaven and Earth; the Dantian is fragile, and it is extremely easy to shatter when opening, and once the Dantian shatters, there is no longer any possibility of opening an Inner World, and the body itself will also be damaged.
The last method is to open it using a grotto-heaven type Spiritual Root.
This method is similar to a special Spiritual Root but slightly inferior.
There is also another method: if one has the Opportunity to obtain a World Tree seed and refines it, they can open an Inner World.”
A message was transmitted from that golden eye.
It conveyed some basic information about World Spirit Masters.
A World Spirit Master must first possess their own Inner World; everything about a World Spirit Master relies on the Inner World.
The methods of opening mentioned here are four, but in reality, there are only three, yet each one is extremely difficult, especially the last one, the World Tree seed, which is almost impossible to obtain.
It is too ethereal and illusory.
Choosing to open the Inner World with the Dantian is the best method for everyone.
The Dantian is like a field.
It inherently carries the meaning of a grotto-heaven.
Once a Spirit Master officially begins cultivation, the original Dantian can be abandoned, and the Qi Sea and Spirit Sea can be opened at the navel.
If the Dantian can open an Inner World, it would undoubtedly be the best, even if it shatters as a result, it will ultimately not have too great an impact on the body itself.
Of course, how to open the Inner Heaven and Earth, the Inner World, that is the most important thing.
Without the opening method, even if you know the Dantian can open an Inner World, you still cannot do it.
This is the preciousness of the World Spirit Master Legacy.
As for special Spiritual Roots, that means when Awakening a Spiritual Root, what is Awakened is a part of the body, such as fingers, palms, arms, bones, eyes, ears, internal organs, and so on.
These special Spiritual Roots are inherently incredibly miraculous and can bear the opening of an Inner World, even more miraculous and powerful than opening with the Dantian, often possessing unique characteristics, surpassing opening with the Dantian by more than just a little.
Then there are grotto-heaven type Spiritual Roots, for example, Awakening a gourd Spiritual Root allows one to open an Inner World within the gourd; Awakening a pagoda allows one to open an Inner World within the pagoda.
All such types can be opened.
As long as one possesses an Inner World, the first step to becoming a World Spirit Master is complete.
“I have the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart, which has already given rise to the Other Shore Space.
The Other Shore is an Inner World, and it is immeasurably superior to ordinary Inner Worlds.
This was naturally opened and derived during Awakening, absorbing the Origin of the Chaos Sea and Gui Xu Sea.
No Inner World can compare to it.”
“The Other Shore Space is my greatest Foundation, of utmost importance, and should not be easily disturbed.
But my Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart has nine orifices, and according to the information I have received, these nine orifices themselves can open nine worlds.
They can become the Other Shore’s companion worlds.
In this way, I completely meet the first threshold of a World Spirit Master.”
After silently pondering, Zhuang Buzhou increasingly felt that this World Spirit Master path was extremely compatible with him.
The Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart’s Origin World cannot be moved, but those nine orifices can open companion worlds, serving as the World Spirit Master’s Inner Worlds, which is entirely feasible.
Moreover, others can only open one, while he can open nine companion worlds.
“The second step for a World Spirit Master is to condense a World Spirit Pool within the Inner World and incubate Dao Soldiers.
The higher the grade of the World Spirit Pool, the stronger the Dao Soldiers incubated, and the greater their potential.
Building a World Spirit Pool requires a World Spirit Diagram; each World Spirit Diagram is unique, and there are no two identical World Spirit Pools in Heaven and Earth.
Possessing a World Spirit Pool and incubating Dao Soldiers and World Spirits is what makes one a World Spirit Master.”
Another message was transmitted into his mind.
This was the true miraculous aspect of a World Spirit Master.
The stronger the world, the stronger the World Spirit Master; the stronger the Dao Soldiers, the stronger the combat power.
From the message, it could be deduced that the most important thing for a World Spirit Master was to seek out World Spirit Diagrams.
Only by possessing a suitable World Spirit Diagram could one construct a World Spirit Pool suitable for oneself and incubate powerful Dao Soldiers.
“How can I obtain the Legacy of a World Spirit Master?”
Zhuang Buzhou looked up at the Void Realm and asked the golden eye.
“One who successfully opens an Inner World can obtain the complete World Spirit Master Legacy.”
A message came from the golden eye.
Whether you are qualified for the Legacy depends on whether you can open an Inner World.
If you succeed, naturally, you have the Foundation to become a World Spirit Master; if you fail, then everything is over, and there is nothing more to say, you will be directly expelled.
“Now, please begin!!”
From the golden eye, a message was directly infused into Zhuang Buzhou’s mind.
“《Heaven-Opening Contemplation Method》”
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a contemplation secret method.
In his mind, there was only a single scroll.
In that scroll, there was a mysterious green lotus, as if hidden in mist, wanting to be seen clearly, yet always unable to see its true form.
Even a glimpse of it made one feel that kind of eternal Dao rhyme.
Facing it, he genuinely felt how insignificant he was.
“What a miraculous 《Heaven-Opening Contemplation Method》, what kind of great existence is this, incredible, truly incredible.”
Zhuang Buzhou secretly gasped in his heart, but then his mind involuntarily became completely absorbed in this contemplation diagram.
This diagram seemed to be directly imprinted in his mind, and it would also operate on its own, his entire mind involuntarily merging into it.
The next second, he seemed to have lost all sensation of the outside world.
Even his Soul merged into this green lotus.
Inside it, he was thoughtless, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, back to his fetal stage.
He slept within it, feeling the endless Dao rhyme within it.
He did not know how much time had passed, it felt like an instant, yet also like thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Time, in this process, seemed to have lost its meaning.
Suddenly, the green lotus bloomed, and a figure emerged from it.
It was Zhuang Buzhou.
At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou, body and Dao united, was like a peerless divine being.
Suddenly, he took a step forward, and the next second, he appeared within the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart, not in the Other Shore Space, but in a hazy gray space.
“Gourd, come!!”
He called out to the sky, and a bronze gourd appeared out of thin air, landing in his hand.
Immediately, the space-time gourd was thrown out with one hand, smashing into this sceneless space before him.
Bang!!
The power of time and space erupted simultaneously, dispelling the darkness.
As earth, fire, water, and wind churned, a small space appeared.
Its scope was not large, still only about one mu in size.
It had a sky and land.
It looked no different from the previous Other Shore Space.
“Open again!!”
Zhuang Buzhou’s figure disappeared from this space, and the next second, he appeared in another Chaos space.
This time, he used a book of contracts, transforming it into a scale of justice, to break open the Chaos and evolve a brand new space.
It was also only about one mu in size.
When these were completed, the space-time gourd and the book of contracts merged into the two Inner Worlds respectively.
They were the core of the Inner Worlds.
“The process of opening this Inner World seems a bit too easy, I didn’t feel any pressure from the opening.
This is because my Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart’s Origin World, the Other Shore Space, has already been opened, and the nine orifices themselves can evolve companion worlds; in fact, there’s no need for an Inner World opening secret method, they can directly evolve.”
Zhuang Buzhou pondered to himself, the contemplation diagram in his mind had already disappeared.
According to the information he received, opening an Inner World was not that simple, even extremely perilous, with the possibility of failure at any time.
Yet, he felt no pressure at all, but rather a sense of natural progression.
In fact, he was not wrong; the nine orifices in the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart are inherently divine orifices capable of nurturing companion worlds.
As long as suitable Spiritual Roots complete the orifices, they can naturally evolve companion worlds.
This process is a natural progression, especially since his own Origin World has already been derived.
As the Lord of Beyond, with a single thought, he can cause these divine orifices containing Spiritual Roots to open worlds.
Therefore, he simply didn’t need an opening method; he could open them on his own.
“It seems I am a born World Spirit Master.”
Zhuang Buzhou sighed to himself.
“Assessment passed, receive the World Spirit Master Legacy!!”
After witnessing this, the golden eye then cast down a golden light.
Within the golden light, a golden classic could be seen descending from the sky, falling towards Zhuang Buzhou.
After doing all this, the next second, the golden eye disappeared from the Void Realm.
He caught the classic, and on it, several ancient seal characters appeared—boundary spirit secret canon.
It was neither gold nor jade.
Upon opening it, the first page was precisely the 《Heaven-Opening Contemplation Method》 he had just seen.
This was the first hurdle for a World Spirit Master; if one could not open it, everything would be over, and there would be no future.
Without hesitation, he continued to turn the pages.
On the second page, there was clearly a Spirit Formation Diagram.
“Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram.”
Zhuang Buzhou murmured to himself, looking down.
This Spirit Formation Diagram was clearly one of the core Legacies of a World Spirit Master.
This Heaven and Earth Spirit Offering Array Diagram was used to condense the World Spirit Pool.
“Hiss, so that’s how it is.
The World Spirit Pool is condensed in such a way, truly incredible.
Ever-changing, unpredictable.
cursed relic, it even has such a use, marvelous, marvelous, indescribably marvelous.”
