"Let me try!"
Bai Ye cupped his hands toward the Heavenly Dao Will Incarnation.
He immediately sat cross-legged before the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele and adjusted his breathing.
Then he extended his Primordial Spirit, slowly spreading it toward the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele.
Boom—!
The moment his Primordial Spirit touched the stele, an endless, vast aura surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a tsunami!
Countless obscure Great Dao Laws emerged in various forms—runes, images, thoughts, and more!
Some depicted the chaos when Heaven and Earth first began. Some showed the trajectories of stars being born and destroyed. Others displayed the lingering shadows of Gods and Devils battling. The sheer volume of information made his Sea of Consciousness ache faintly!
Bai Ye held his breath and focused his mind, sorting through this information. He fully activated Ten Thousand Times Comprehension, filtering out the content related to the first seal from the overwhelming laws and analyzing and comprehending it bit by bit.
The Star Spirit floated beside him, her large eyes filled with anticipation. She murmured softly, "After so many years, a cultivator can finally enter Dust Star Valley again."
"If he still can't succeed, the Master's inheritance may truly be severed... It took Dust Star Daoist sixty years to comprehend the first seal back then. You have to do your best!"
Time slipped quietly away amid the tranquil comprehension.
The spiritual energy in the valley continuously surged toward Bai Ye, nourishing his Primordial Spirit and Dao Body!
Three years later.
A dazzling golden light erupted from the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele!
The rune of the first seal shattered with a resounding crack!
It transformed into a pale golden streak of light and surged into Bai Ye's Sea of Consciousness!
Countless pieces of the Ancient Immortal Inheritance emerged along with it, containing an ancient force of law!
Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes. A flash of brilliance crossed them, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He had succeeded!
The first Ancient Immortal Inheritance was in his hands!
The instant she saw the first seal on the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele shatter,
The Star Spirit's large eyes instantly widened until they were perfectly round, while her tiny mouth formed an O. Her face was filled with disbelief.
She flapped her starlit wings and flew rapidly around Bai Ye, her silvery-white hair fluttering in the currents of air. Her childish voice carried irrepressible excitement:
"Outsider, you're far too amazing! Back then, it took Dust Star Daoist a full sixty years to comprehend this first seal! Yet you only needed three years!"
Bai Ye nodded slightly, a hint of calm amusement on his face.
With Ten Thousand Times Comprehension and the Earth-grade Merit Golden Body supporting him, breaking the seal in three years had not been difficult. He simply did not offer much explanation.
The Star Spirit quickly calmed her excitement. Her small face grew solemn, and she said crisply, "According to Dust Star Daoist's dying wish, you have passed the trial and obtained his complete inheritance!"
"Does the complete inheritance include this Dust Star Valley Lesser World?"
Bai Ye asked smoothly, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, the smile faded from the Star Spirit's little face, replaced by a trace of dejection. "Normally, becoming the inheritor would allow you to inherit the Lesser World."
"But when Dust Star Daoist fell, I was caught in the aftermath. My Heavenly Dao Foundation was severely damaged, and now I'm at the end of my strength. I'll soon dissipate. Once I disappear, this Lesser World will collapse with me."
"Your Heavenly Dao Foundation was damaged?"
Bai Ye's heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered the Nine Heavens Glazed Jade Dew he had obtained from signing in. "I might have a way to repair you."
With a thought, he took the seven-colored glazed bottle from his storage ring.
The pale golden jade dew within the bottle flowed beneath the light, radiating a majestic Heavenly Path aura.
The instant the Star Spirit's gaze touched the glazed bottle, it froze. Then it transformed into wild delight. She flapped her wings and rushed before Bai Ye, her tiny claws clutching the glazed bottle tightly, shock filling her large eyes. "This... this is the Nine Heavens Glazed Jade Dew?! A supreme treasure that even the Upper Realm can hardly come across! How do you have it?"
"I obtained it by a stroke of luck."
Bai Ye smiled and did not explain further. "Can this jade dew repair your Heavenly Dao injury?"
The Star Spirit nodded vigorously, her little head bobbing like a pounding pestle. "Of course! It can completely repair my foundation and even let me advance another step!"
"Then hurry up and recover." Bai Ye handed her the glazed bottle and turned toward the side. "I'll take this opportunity to comprehend the Ancient Immortal Inheritance I just obtained."
The Star Spirit accepted the glazed bottle and gave Bai Ye a grateful look before flying into the sky above the valley and pulling out the stopper.
The pale golden jade dew transformed into a stream and slowly poured into her body. The starlight around her instantly surged, forming a gigantic cocoon of light as she began repairing her Heavenly Dao Foundation with all her strength.
Bai Ye sat cross-legged and focused his attention on his Sea of Consciousness.
The inheritance he had obtained from the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele was an Offensive Secret Technique called the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal, whose grade reached the Divine King level!
The secret technique contained an ancient and domineering force of Divine Rules. Its seal arts were divided into nine layers, and each layer could stir the resonance of Heaven and Earth, possessing boundless might.
He circulated the Chaos Sword Canon and, together with Ten Thousand Times Comprehension, began analyzing the trajectories of the Divine Rules within the secret technique.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, countless runes danced through the air. Every stage of the seal art—its opening stance, condensation, eruption, and more—was broken down into minute fragments and comprehended by him one by one.
Time slipped quietly away amid his devoted cultivation.
The spiritual energy in the valley continuously surged toward him, constantly nourishing his divine body and Primordial Spirit.
Sixty years later, Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, a pale golden divine light flashing within them.
He raised his hand and clenched it. A golden seal containing a terrifying aura condensed in his palm!
The surface of the seal was engraved with intricate Ancient Immortal Runes, radiating a pressure powerful enough to crush any cultivator of the True God Realm!
He had comprehended the Immortal Heaven Profound Extreme Seal to the realm of Peak Mastery!
Almost at the same time, a golden light carrying a Heavenly Dao Boon descended from the heavens and merged into his body.
However, the Heavenly Dao Boon of this lower realm was of negligible use to him now, at the peak of the True God Ninth Layer. It merely caused his Divine Origin Aperture to tremble slightly before leaving no further disturbance.
Bai Ye turned his head toward the cocoon of light in the sky. The Star Spirit was still asleep as she repaired herself.
He simply sat down cross-legged again and turned his gaze toward the second seal on the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele, continuing his comprehension.
Another ten years passed.
On this day,
The cocoon of light above the valley suddenly exploded!
Dazzling golden light shot into the sky before transforming into a rain of light that scattered everywhere. Countless auspicious phenomena instantly appeared within Dust Star Valley!
Golden lotuses bloomed across the ground, spirit birds sang in unison through the sky, and the streams flowing between the mountains shimmered with a faint rosy glow. Even the air became increasingly fresh and sweet!
The Star Spirit emerged from the rain of light. Her starlit wings had become far more solid, and the Heavenly Path aura around her had grown even more majestic. A trace of authority had appeared on her originally childish little face!
"I'm fully healed! Thank you for giving me the jade dew!"
The Star Spirit flew before Bai Ye, her smile radiant.
The power of the Heavenly Path surged around her. A purple Heavenly Dao Mark flew from between her brows and slowly landed on the back of Bai Ye's hand, transforming into a lifelike Star Rune.
"From this day forth, you are the master of Dust Star Valley!"
