The vast Star River, dotted with countless stars, each bearing traces of life; even the nearby dead stars were shrouded in vital energy, as if someone cultivated within them. Upon a massive, cone-shaped celestial meteorite, Ji Changkong sat cross-legged, his expression blank.

This meteorite drifted through the sea of stars, heading directly for Fire Prison Star. At its tail, intense sparks flickered, propelled by a peculiar force that drove the meteorite at incredible speed.

On the meteorite, Ji Changkong’s mind wandered, his brow deeply furrowed.

After activating the Boundless Star Sea Map from Southern Sky Star, he had instantly traveled to the nearby Bird Luan Star. At that time, he discovered the mental energy expenditure was immense—more than a hundred times greater than space-warping within the Solar Star Domain.

Yet, the distance between Southern Sky Star and Bird Luan Star was not as vast as he had imagined, and his own mental power had already surpassed its previous levels a thousandfold upon breaking through to the Realm of Omnipresent Heaven's Will.

Given this, the fact that merely spanning the distance between Southern Sky Star and Bird Luan Star using the Boundless Star Sea Map consumed so much mental energy left him profoundly frustrated.

He pondered endlessly, subconsciously sensing that this might be related to the environment of the Dead Star Domain. The Dead Star Domain was the only star field preserved most completely before the Great Destruction; it was likely very different from the Solar Star Domain or the Meteor Sea Star Domain. Only this difference could explain why such short-distance spatial jumps required such a high expenditure of mental power.

This realization meant his plan to utilize the Boundless Star Sea Map for travel throughout the Dead Star Domain had to be abandoned. His current mental reserves could not sustain many spatial shifts. Since mental energy dictated the deployment of Power Profound Principles, he absolutely did not want to exhaust his reserves after just a few jumps only to find himself helpless in the face of danger.

Henceforth, the Boundless Star Sea Map could only be reserved as a life-saving trump card. Within the Dead Star Domain, it seemed to be constrained by some unknown force, preventing him from soaring freely between major stars at will.

After replenishing his mental energy on Bird Luan Star, he did not linger. He immediately entered the sea of stars, found a meteorite speeding towards Fire Prison Star, descended upon it, and imprinted a surge of power onto it, urging it faster toward Fire Prison Star.

Following his battles with Monk Jia and Fei Yun, the Seven-Colored Soul Seal within his mind showed unusual fluctuations. Truths regarding the Profound Principles of Power erupted into his consciousness in a veritable flood; these truths suddenly became crystal clear.

While resting on the meteorite, he submerged his divine sense into the Seven-Colored Soul Seal to contemplate the transformations of the divine abilities. Fifteen out of the thirty-six divine ability transformations suddenly became illuminated, as if a veil had been lifted, allowing him to easily grasp the essence of these fifteen transformations.

Vaguely, he suspected that engaging in strategic and combative encounters with powerful experts was highly beneficial for mastering the profound principles within the Seven-Colored Soul Seal. Ever since he set up the Ancient Nine Transformations Absolute Formation, he had sensed peculiar changes in the Soul Seal, and during his verbal probing and ultimate confrontation with Monk Jia and Fei Yun, the divine abilities within the Soul Seal had continuously evolved.

With the fifteen divine ability transformations clarified, he abruptly recalled a specific passage within the Seven-Colored Soul Seal: every twelve divine ability profound principles could merge into one new, formidable arcane technique!

Taking a deep breath, he released the White Bone Skeleton from the bell. After a moment’s hesitation, he allowed the Demon Body to also emerge from the Heavenly Origin Pearl, positioning them on his left and right as guardians.

The White Bone Skeleton possessed at least the cultivation of the Realm of Will. The Demon Body, having resided within the Heavenly Origin Pearl for so long, seemed to grow stronger daily, its bones hardening to an unimaginably miraculous degree. He surmised the Demon Body now held at least the cultivation of a Heavenly Adept in the Nirvana Realm. Only after manifesting these two anomalies—the White Bone Skeleton and the Demon Body—did he finally feel a sense of security.

The meteorite continued its unvarying speed toward Fire Prison Star. His main body closed his eyes to conserve energy, focusing instead on comprehending the essence of those fifteen divine ability profound principles. Twelve of these principles pertained to the profound mysteries of the body's meridians and structure: encompassing the secrets of the acupoints, the internal organs, the bones, the marrow, the sinews, the divine sense, the flesh and blood, and even the pores.

These twelve abilities described in meticulous detail the function of every organ and part of the physical body, laying bare the marvels within the human form.

He faintly conjectured that mastering these twelve principles and subsequently fusing them should allow him to forge a brand new, mighty divine ability. With this thought, he dedicated his primary focus to meditating on these twelve divine ability transformations, striving day and night to comprehend their profound principles.

The Grand Void Secret Record once again displayed its miraculous efficacy.

In the process of comprehending these twelve profound principles, he transitioned from clear awareness into the realm of Subjective Unity. Within this wondrous state, the twelve profound principles vaguely manifested as twelve miniature figures, standing in a line, simultaneously enacting the transformations of the twelve principles. He felt like an observer, watching these twelve little figures dance in his mind, demonstrating the secrets of the twelve divine transformations. He clearly absorbed the hidden truths of the principles displayed by each figure, understanding the intent behind their every move.

He couldn't tell how long passed when one day, as the twelve figures enacted their respective transformations, the distance between them began to shrink, and their appearances slowly sharpened.

Twelve Ji Changkongs!

Once their features became distinct, the twelve figures were revealed to be exact miniatures of himself!

After some more time, a sudden change occurred: two of the little figures finally drew close enough for their limbs to touch, and a wondrous transformation took place.

As the two figures enacted their respective changes, their forms gradually overlapped, slowly merging into a single person.

The resulting miniature figure, formed from the fusion of the two, continued to manifest a certain transformation, but this new iteration seemed to embody the refined essence of the previous two, becoming infinitely more profound and inscrutable.

The remaining ten figures also began to pair up and fuse. Soon, all twelve figures merged into six. These six continued to enact their marvelous divine ability principles, though the principles now carried a deeper, more mysterious aura. After a long while, the same fusion happened again: the six figures merged, ultimately becoming three.

The features of these three figures were now completely sharp; even their hair and facial features were perfectly visible, without any trace of blurriness. The three figures continued their movements, and the circulation of blood within their bodies became clearly visible—the flow of internal energy, the coordination of the bones, the vibration of the marrow, the trajectory of energy moving through the meridians, and even the expulsion of turbid energy through the pores were displayed one by one.

After a further passage of time, once Ji Changkong had fully grasped the divine transformations demonstrated by these three figures, including every minute physical change they underwent during their evolution, the three figures merged once more.

Finally, the three figures coalesced into a single phantom spirit enacting arcane, miraculous fist techniques. With every movement of hands or feet, the acupoints, organs, bones, marrow, meridians, divine sense, flesh and blood, and pores all underwent marvelous alterations, transforming a single surge of power into myriad indescribable trajectories, unleashing terrifying divine abilities. "Myriad Heavens Star River Art!"

A new concept surfaced in his mind. He instantly knew the name of this profound principle. The miniature figure, now incomparably distinct, seemed to become his own extension; his divine sense appeared tethered to that figure as it executed every aspect of the "Myriad Heavens Star River Art."

This was a peculiar arcane technique that stimulated the essential spirit within the body’s acupoints, releasing power to the maximum degree through the physical form. By utilizing the Myriad Heavens Star River Art, he could unleash all the vital essence stored within his acupoints, and through the coordinated action of the acupoints, organs, bones, marrow, meridians, divine sense, and flesh, this power would not only suffer no reduction but would actually be amplified.

With every gesture, he felt imbued with the immense, profound power of the vast Star River—an attack technique of absolute, irresistible force, carrying the weight and mystery of the cosmos.

Within the ocean of his soul, the miniature figure did not rest, continuing to re-enact the profound principles of the "Myriad Heavens Star River Art," revealing every subtle nuance. He remained in the state of Subjective Unity, absorbing all these changes into his consciousness.

Finally, one day, he awoke from the state of Subjective Unity, opening his eyes. He felt as though he had completely mastered the "Myriad Heavens Star River Art," understanding every subtle transformation within it. The White Bone Skeleton and the Demon Body were still beside him, and he let out a quiet sigh of relief. The Grand Void Secret Record! Ji Changkong’s lips curved into a strange smile. He finally realized how truly immense the value of the Grand Void Secret Record was!

Its ability to merge the profound principles of all divine abilities was terrifyingly profound. Only now did he understand that the true worth of the Grand Void Secret Record likely resided in this very capability!

No wonder, when he first began cultivating the Grand Void Secret Record, he could merge two arcane techniques to create the Raging Waves of the Ninth Heaven. It turned out this was the mystery of the Grand Void Secret Record!

Upon entering the Realm of Will, he vaguely realized that the fusion of divine ability profound principles was the primary path of cultivation for masters at this level. Merging these principles aided in realm advancement and made the offensive principles terrifyingly unpredictable. Meanwhile, ordinary cultivators would require thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of times the effort he invested to achieve such a fusion!

The Grand Void Secret Record! Its true wonder seemed only now to be manifesting after reaching the Realm of Omnipresent Heaven! What good were the Manichaean Doctrines, the Asura Evil Codex, or the Nine Barbarian Archery Manuals? Compared to this, they were all dust!

He felt profound relief that he had never abandoned the Grand Void Secret Record. He began to feel his past decision was wise—not forsaking it because it lacked immediately powerful offensive techniques. It turned out the true strength of the Grand Void Secret Record was only revealed after reaching the Realm of Omnipresent Heaven!
