Thirty-Three Heavens Sand, Hongjun Feels Something!

"Haha, two more divine powers and great arts?!"

"Wonderful, wonderful..."

Chen Ku laughed inwardly, both astonished and excited.

It seemed the effect of his heaven-defying comprehension was indeed growing stronger and stronger.

Of course, it was also because this place was inherently mystical and extraordinary.

The Outer Heavens, where the power of the stars intertwined, was further nurtured by the Pangu's pressure from Buzhou Mountain.

To Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, it seemed there were no opportunities here.

But for Chen Ku, who possessed heaven-defying comprehension, he could sense a great deal and reap immense rewards.

Conversely, if he were placed in a truly desolate and barren world, devoid of anything, then even with the blessing of his heaven-defying comprehension, Chen Ku wouldn't be able to comprehend anything.

Silently marveling for a moment, Chen Ku immediately began to sense the two newly comprehended divine powers and great arts.

The first was Star Chasing Moon Grasping!

This was a top-tier movement-type divine power. Once unleashed, as its name suggested, it would chase stars and grasp the moon with ease.

It was only slightly inferior to the space-based divine powers of the world.

One had to know that throughout the ages of the Primordial World, only a handful of individuals could control space-based divine powers.

The leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches in this era, namely the Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang, was the greatest among them.

Besides him, only Zhu Long of the ancient Dragon Clan had also touched upon the power of spatial laws.

It was no exaggeration to say that this Star Chasing Moon Grasping was by no means comparable to those earth-departing escapes, shrinking the earth to an inch, and other such Taoist techniques.

Understanding the function of this divine power, Chen Ku was overjoyed.

"Hehe, excellent!"

"With this divine power, whether it's chasing down opponents or greasing my soles to escape, it will be twice as effective."

He thought to himself.

Of course, for Chen Ku, who was focused on lying low, relying on the protection of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, and quietly growing stronger, perhaps the probability of greasing his soles to escape was greater than chasing down opponents.

He felt no shame whatsoever for the so-called "greasing his soles."

After all, survival was paramount. As for losing face or anything like that, it was simply not within his consideration.

And the second divine power was even more astonishing!

Ziwei Astrology!

Upon sensing it, Chen Ku was surprised to discover that this was actually a supreme divination-type divine power.

With the help of this Ziwei Astrology, one could deduce the changes in the grand scheme of heaven and earth, seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.

One could also deduce cultivation methods and divine powers, perfecting one's own cultivation and achieving flawlessness.

Even during a great battle, it could break through confusion, discern the flaws in the opponent's moves, and gain the upper hand.

In short, it could be said that there was almost nothing it couldn't deduce.

Extremely powerful!

Incredibly awesome!

Chen Ku exclaimed inwardly.

Of course, wanting to cultivate to that level of freedom was not a matter of a day or two, and it required extremely powerful cultivation as support.

But this was enough to make Chen Ku ecstatic.

With a divine power in hand, was he still afraid of not being able to fully control it?

Having gained two great divine powers in one fell swoop, he turned to look at Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, who were still collecting Thirty-Three Heavens Sand on the other side.

Who said there were no opportunities in the Outer Heavens?!

In his opinion, these two divine powers and great arts were even more precious than those spiritual roots and immortal fruits.

After all, spiritual roots, and even spiritual treasures, although they each had their own wonderful uses and extraordinary power, they were ultimately just external forces.

Only by becoming strong oneself was the unchanging truth.

Afterward, Chen Ku tried to focus his gaze on a few other large stars.

But this time, for a long time, his sea of consciousness did not produce any more sensations or prompts.

Obviously, the other stars were not enough for him to comprehend any more divine powers and great arts.

Since that was the case, then it would end here!

"Ku ah... Ku ah..."

"How great would it be if I could comprehend a few more divine powers?!"

Chen Ku sighed softly to himself.

If any other cultivator heard this, they'd probably cough up blood in anger.

Whether it's Star Chasing Moon Grasping or Ziwei Astrology, any one of these divine abilities is a rare find in all of history.

And this kid is still so insatiably greedy?!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Ku turned around, ready to head back.

But just as he turned, a casual glance caught something.

In that instant, an extremely faint glimmer appeared, iridescent and profoundly mysterious.

More treasure?!

Chen Ku couldn't help but stop, staring intently.

After a moment, he finally saw it clearly: a tiny grain of stardust.

However, ordinary stardust usually emits a silvery-white glow.

But this particular grain was surrounded by countless iridescent rays, clearly an anomaly.

Chen Ku's divine sense delved slightly into it, and he was even more astonished.

In just an instant, Chen Ku sensed the fluctuations of the laws of order within it.

This was truly bizarre!

It instantly confirmed for him that this grain of stardust was not just any ordinary stardust, as vast as the misty sea.

Continuing to sense it, he discovered that within this tiny grain of stardust, there were various phenomena, profound and mysterious.

Chen Ku saw towering celestial palaces and heavenly courts everywhere.

Immortal flora and herbs emitted spiritual light, and celestial cranes danced, their cries echoing through the sky.

In short, it resembled the mystical scenery of a celestial treasure land.

"This is... Thirty-Three Heavens Sand?!"

"And within it is the very scene of the Heavenly Court?!"

Chen Ku couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his words trembling with barely concealed excitement.

Thirty-Three Heavens Sand!

Without a doubt, this was the most precious kind of stardust.

In other words, even if there were billions, or even more, grains of stardust gathered together, it might still be difficult to condense such a grain of Thirty-Three Heavens Sand.

Or, to put it another way, this object itself symbolized the Heavenly Court, capable of manifesting everything from beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Undoubtedly, this was a tremendous opportunity, a treasure beyond compare.

No wonder Chen Ku was so utterly shocked.

"Hehe, who would have thought that my master and uncle, after collecting for so long,"

"Would miss out on such a great opportunity."

"It's all the cheaper for me."

Chen Ku didn't hesitate, immediately taking that grain of Thirty-Three Heavens Sand into his possession.

He knew that his master and uncle must have overlooked something, failing to notice the existence of this object.

Otherwise, how could they have let it slip through their fingers?!

Chen Ku didn't know.

Just as he was in the Outer Heavens, reaping various opportunities and feeling content.

At the same time, in the outer Chaos, a magnificent and solemn divine palace stood tall, enveloped by endless laws and order, awe-inspiring and majestic.

This divine palace was none other than the Purple Cloud Palace of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was dressed in a simple green Daoist robe, sitting with his eyes closed, his countenance solemn.

Above his head, the Jade Creation Disc hung high, with the three thousand Great Dao laws flowing and interweaving.

Countless chains of order condensed, constantly ringing.

The sage's might swept out, directly collapsing the surrounding void!

Such power made even quasi-sages like Jie Yin and Zhun Ti seem as insignificant as mayflies before the vast sky.

The power of a sage was truly unparalleled.

However, at one moment, Hongjun, who was in seclusion, suddenly twitched slightly, as if sensing something.

Then, Hongjun slowly opened his eyes.

In the instant his eyes opened and closed, it seemed as if the birth and death of thousands of universes and the weaving of billions of stars were reflected in his eyes, truly terrifying.

Hongjun turned his head slightly, his two deep gazes looking towards the direction of the Outer Heavens.

However, he didn't say much.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and continued to close his eyes and meditate, comprehending the Great Dao.

Only the slightly fluctuating aura around him might be indicating that Hongjun's heart had already stirred up some waves.
