After arriving at the small town.

Perhaps because Lu Zhou looked the youngest, he received the most attention from their group.

In the end, after another round of wrangling among the cultivators from the Six Great Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

They were divided up among the Six Great Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

Thanks to Lu Zhou's warning and intervention back on Mars, eighteen of them reached this small town, compared to the original story.

Four nameless extras who had not even deserved names in the original story had survived to reach the Big Dipper.

The eighteen people were evenly divided among the Six Great Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

Lu Zhou, Pang Bo, and Ye Fan were the first three chosen by Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

The brother who should originally have entered Lingxu Grotto-Heaven went to another grotto-heaven this time.

As for the others, there were some minor changes as well, but Lu Zhou felt that things generally had not diverged much from the original story.

Lin Jia went to Yanxia Grotto-Heaven.

Liu Yiyi and Zhang Wenchang were taken to Yuding by Elder Ma Yun.

As for Emperor Ye's old flame, Li Xiaoman, she still went to Ziyang Grotto-Heaven.

Originally, after discovering that Ye Fan possessed the Desolate Ancient Saint Body, the people of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven had not wanted to take him.

However, with both Lu Zhou and Pang Bo insisting strongly, they ultimately brought Ye Fan to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven as in the original story, lest Lu Zhou and Pang Bo harbor resentment.

They landed before the mountain gate of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. After passing a huge bluestone and entering the Immortal Mist ahead, Lu Zhou and the others felt as though they had suddenly entered an entirely different world.

This place was favored by the essences of the sun and moon. Ancient trees towered overhead, medicinal herbs filled the air with fragrance, spiritual birds danced through the skies, rare beasts came and went, and divine springs gurgled endlessly.

At that moment, both Ye Fan and Lu Zhou were dazed.

The several hundred characters of ancient scripture they had obtained from the Bronze Ancient Coffin resounded in their hearts like a distant divine bell, like heavenly music shaking the heavens.

Not until they had walked more than a hundred paces into Lingxu Grotto-Heaven did the scripture echoing in their hearts finally fall silent.

Ye Fan sensed that there was some secret beneath the stretch of steps they had just passed.

He gave no sign of it.

Lu Zhou had long learned from the original story that beneath those steps lay a Yin vein connected to Azure Emperor's Yin tomb. At this moment, the Desolate Pagoda, casually refined by the Desolate Heaven Emperor, was swimming within that Yin vein.

And Azure Emperor sought to evolve an Immortal Realm within the Desolate Pagoda!

In the end, the three of them were brought before a low hill.

There were three or five thatched cottages here, two or three groves of bamboo, a medicinal field beside the houses, and several old trees growing close together.

"You'll stay here for now."

After giving them a few instructions, the elders left.

Near noon, a boy of twelve or thirteen came carrying a food box and brought them a meal.

The food was light and simple: lotus root slices, Solomon's seal, poria, gastrodia, and other ingredients, most of which were medicinal herbs!

Pang Bo immediately complained.

"Can this even be called food? There's not even a scrap of meat."

Although the food contained not a trace of oil, the three of them still devoured everything cleanly, leaving not even a leaf behind.

Afterward, Pang Bo was still dissatisfied.

"Could you bring us a roast chicken?"

The boy delivering the food was immediately dumbfounded.

Only after he left did Lu Zhou remember his system. He did not know whether Lingxu Grotto-Heaven was suitable for signing in.

He figured that Lingxu Grotto-Heaven was, after all, Emperor Ye's beginner village after arriving in the Big Dipper. It was near Azure Emperor's tomb and was itself a grotto-heaven and blessed land, so it should meet the Sign-in System's requirements, right?

When he immersed his mind in the system, he discovered that he could indeed sign in here.

Immediately, after casually chatting with Ye Fan and Pang Bo for a while, Lu Zhou found himself a room to stay in.

Once inside, he immersed his mind in the system again.

He discovered that at some point, the system had produced a panel for him.

Lu Zhou began to inspect it.

System Name: Sign-in System! Current Location: Sign-in Available! System Host: Lu Zhou! Age: 11! Cultivation: A mortal possessing over ten thousand jin of strength. Physique: Mortal body! Cultivation Method: None! Secret Technique: Xingzi Secret! Other: Two instances of Great Emperor-level comprehension, Qiankun Pearl!

The panel was clear at a glance, displaying nearly all of Lu Zhou's current circumstances.

Lu Zhou noticed that the items he had stored in the Qiankun Pearl, such as the quasi-Emperor forbidden artifact and the Empress's Sacred Spring, were not displayed by the system.

Lu Zhou had long since thrown away the Jade Ruyi and Vajra Pestle.

The energy within those two Buddhist artifacts had been completely exhausted when the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and the Dao inscriptions within them had also worn away.

Sign in!

Lu Zhou silently recited in his heart.

Then, he heard the system speak to him.

Ding! Host has successfully signed in at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Host has obtained one complete Dao Sutra!

As the system's voice fell, a Dao Sutra forged from some unknown divine metal appeared within Lu Zhou's Qiankun Pearl.

Lu Zhou was overjoyed. The cultivation method he had been longing for had finally appeared.

Not only had it appeared, it was a complete Dao Sutra.

This start was far better than Emperor Ye's.

Although the scripture Ye Fan initially cultivated was also the Dao Sutra, it was an incomplete version.

It was only a year later, with Pang Bo's help, that he obtained the Sea of Suffering Chapter from the Dao Sutra.

In his room, Lu Zhou impatiently sent his mind into the Qiankun Pearl and opened the Dao Sutra. A majestic voice seemed to explode beside his ears.

At that moment, it felt as though a magnificent world had crashed down upon him.

Then Lu Zhou was dumbfounded, because he could not understand the Dao Sutra.

He suppressed the urge to immediately use his Great Emperor-level comprehension to comprehend the Dao Sutra.

He was not sure whether anyone from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven was watching him in secret.

Even if no one was watching, he remembered that Wu Qingfeng, known as the strongest beginner village chief, would appear in roughly half a month.

Lu Zhou worried that Wu Qingfeng might notice that he had already begun cultivating.

Therefore, he still did not dare to comprehend the Dao Sutra and begin cultivation.

He was not strong enough yet. When it was time to be cautious, he had to be cautious.

It was only a little over four months. Lu Zhou could wait.

Half a month later, Wu Qingfeng, with his crane-white hair and youthful face, indeed appeared. Having immersed himself in the original story, Lu Zhou also had a very favorable impression of the old man.

The old man explained cultivation to Lu Zhou and the other two, speaking of the Wheel of Life, the Sea of Bitterness, and other matters.

He guided Lu Zhou and the other two onto the path of cultivation, taught them common knowledge about cultivation, and imparted his various experiences and insights.

Experiencing all this firsthand felt far more real and profound to Lu Zhou than imagining it through the words of the original story.

After all, written accounts had limited space, and many things were merely mentioned in passing. It was only natural that this would happen.

Four and a half months after arriving at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Wu Qingfeng finally brought out that volume of the Dao Sutra and began explaining it to the three of them.

Having long awaited this moment, Lu Zhou used one instance of Great Emperor-level comprehension in his room after Wu Qingfeng finished lecturing that day. He began to comprehend the complete Dao Sutra stored within his Qiankun Pearl.

In that instant, Lu Zhou felt as though his entire being had ascended.

His thoughts raced at high speed.

It was as if door after door had opened before him. He immersed himself in all manner of profound mysteries and ultimate principles, while immortal music seemed to bloom in his ears.

Honestly, only at this moment did Lu Zhou realize that the four months he had spent studying under Wu Qingfeng had not been wasted.

He had completed the accumulation needed before cultivation and taken a solid first step!

That very night, Lu Zhou sensed the existence of his own Wheel of Life.

This was a full month faster than Pang Bo.

The next day, when Wu Qingfeng rode a rainbow to visit them again and prepared to continue explaining the Dao Sutra.

Lu Zhou directly told Wu Qingfeng that he had already sensed his Wheel of Life!

Ah, it's already over ten thousand words. The editor said they would look at the data to decide whether to pick it up, and follow-ups and bookmarks are very important. I hope those of you who enjoy this book will support it more. My sincere thanks to everyone!
