Secret Treasury and Regret

The birthmark on Guo Buran's body was half of the seal-script character "Secret." By coincidence, it was one of the eight incomplete characters Zhou You had obtained from the tree tumor.

Taking this opportunity, he used the Character Dismantling Technique to complete it and obtained a whole seal-script character.

The character "Secret" represented hidden depths and concealment. It happened to form a pair with the seal-script character "Treasury," allowing Zhou You to grasp his second entry: Secret Treasury.

"Heaven-and-earth's living beings all possess secret treasuries, containing endless potential and possibilities."

"Practicing martial arts and cultivating oneself is the process of excavating that potential step by step, opening the treasury vault within. In theory, human potential is limitless."

"A pearl covered in dust, a treasure vessel left to rot—even one's inborn secret treasury cannot be opened when obscured by all manner of acquired hindrances."

"Talent, bone structure, and the like are in truth measures of how difficult it is to pass the gates of one's secret treasury."

"The Myriad Manifestations Martial Sage sought to create 'Supreme Beings' because it had seen through this point, wishing to create an ultimate human race born with their secret treasuries fully opened."

Countless insights born from comprehending the entry poured through Zhou You's heart like a rushing torrent.

His mind spun rapidly, and his hands were no slower. Using his fingertips as a brush, he swiftly inscribed strokes onto Guo Buran's body.

This time, he was not using top-grade ink worth ten or twenty thousand gold, but the fine ink Guo Buran had received from his grandfather.

Guo Buran's grandfather, Guo Liuhe, was also a Golden Immortal Path devotee obsessed with seal script. He collected all kinds of precious inks, so naturally, as his grandson, Guo Buran had chances to get his hands on them.
