"Who has money to burn, setting off fireworks during the day?"

"I have to say, it's really impressive, huh? It's broad daylight, and you can still see it. It's quite colorful and beautiful."

"It's just a bit far, so it's hard to see clearly."

"Well, having something to see is already good enough. I wonder which conglomerate has too much free time."

Many people from Blue Star looked up to the sky, where the colorful spectacle flickered beautifully through the sky, being mistaken for lavish daytime fireworks by a wasteful tycoon.

However, some powerful martial artists looked beyond the sky with grave expressions. Even from such a great distance, they could feel a terrifying aura that made them shudder.

"Chang Xiao is done for!!"

"After all, Zhou Wuliang comes from that Dao lineage. Even though he's missed many years and his Life Fire is about to extinguish, he's not someone ordinary people can contend with!"

"Fortunately, we didn't do anything reckless, or we'd be the ones facing that mighty power directly."

The other guardians of the North Sea had looks of terror flashing in their eyes.

The moment Zhou Wuliang suddenly attacked Chang Xiao, they sensed it. That overwhelming aura, like the heavens descending, terrified them. They felt lucky they didn't really associate with Chang Xiao.

They somewhat knew of the Heaven-Reaching Dojo and feared it immensely, not daring to take action, only verbally agreeing with Chang Xiao.

"In the future, keep a tight rein on your disciples. When you see students from Tayue Martial Arts Hall, avoid provoking them if possible."

"If trouble arises, let life and death be at your own risk."

The guardians' opinions reached a surprisingly unanimous agreement at this moment.

At this time, Su Tu was unaware that his teacher was fighting for him amidst the Star River.

He had already returned home. In the recent battle, he mobilized all fifteen celestial acupoints to withstand Chen Yuan's attack. As his True Qi was depleted, he gained many insights within.

The fifteen acupoints in his body slowly rotated, seemingly forming a cycle, with the fifteenth celestial lock at the center. Streams of True Qi transformed into liquid and then continually condensed, as if to become tangible.

Just as success seemed within reach.

Clang~

Su Tu, somehow and somewhere, heard a crisp sound. It seemed to resound in the present world yet also existed in the void, echoing in his ears and resonating within his heart and spirit.

At the instant this sound rang.

The True Qi that was about to take shape instantly dispersed again, turning back into liquid, slowly undulating within the celestial acupoint.

"There's a shackle hindering me."

Su Tu frowned slightly, unsure of the origin of that strange sound he just heard.

Fifteen body locks are unprecedented, never seen before.

Breaking the eleventh body lock turned True Qi into a mist-like state; breaking the twelfth lock made the True Qi sink like a swamp; breaking the thirteenth turned it into liquid, resembling an ocean, with a drop of True Qi equivalent to the great acupoint of an ordinary martial artist.

Su Tu, having opened fifteen body locks, sought to condense and transform the True Qi after it liquefied. Such a situation has never been seen before in history.

Nobody knows what strength and 'mystery' the fifteenth body lock, the one breaking the extreme, will bring.

He once asked Old Zhou, who was astonished like a celestial being, but even he did not know the situation, only advising Su Tu to explore gradually, urging him not to reveal how many body locks he had opened, allowing the world to guess without speaking plainly.

Even though the transformation of True Qi failed, he vaguely felt that his acupoints were reaching a saturation point, ready to step into Mingtiao, open up the Martial Bone, and enter a brand-new world, which excited Su Tu a bit.

He held his breath, concentrated, and sank the Qi into the acupoints, then introspected his own five organs, vaguely seeing golden light flashing and constantly nurturing them.

And in the center, there was a sense of etherealness constantly moving, pulling the Qi within his body along.

Within life and death lies great fear, but also great opportunity. Having just experienced that battle, Su Tu gained a deeper understanding of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill. At this moment, the golden light retracted, began nourishing the five mansions, and subtly, Su Tu felt a hint of Immortal Power emerging.

The sensation was subtle, like a seed sprouting and growing, while the Qi within the celestial acupoint acted like rain, continuously nurturing the seed, just waiting for it to sprout.

This is the beginning of Immortal Power. With it as the foundation, he won't take long before mastering Immortal Power, cultivating the ancient skill, and letting that lost grand divine technique reappear in the world!

Just as Su Tu was about to conclude his cultivation, the Immortal Power Seed seemed to slightly stir.

And then.

An inexplicable scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a human-shaped silhouette enveloped by endless darkness, with numerous chains shackling it. Some were already broken, while others emitted forbidden light, firmly binding the silhouette.

This scene flickered for a moment and vanished in an instant.

But with Su Tu's memory, he already recorded every part of it in his mind.

"The sound I heard earlier, was it the clinking of those chains!"

The chains on the silhouette reminded Su Tu of the clattering sound he heard earlier.

"Thirty-six chains, twenty-one chains intact, fifteen chains broken..."

Though it was only an instant, he still remembered the number of chains on the silhouette.

"Could the fifteen broken shackles correspond to the fifteen body locks I opened!"

Su Tu suddenly connected the two, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

It's no wonder Su Tu linked these two things. The sound of chains he heard while refining True Qi matched the chains he saw on the human-shaped silhouette.
