The instant the words "Daluo" fell, it seemed to carry endless karma and obstacles. In that moment, Su Tu felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

It was a feeling that couldn't be described in words, like instinct, like intuition, like foreknowledge.

However, this feeling came quickly and left just as swiftly.

"Daluo?"

"This name is rather interesting."

Zhou Wuliang commented, but this sentence caught Su Tu's attention.

"Master doesn't know what Daluo represents!!!"

Suddenly, Su Tu realized that his previous understanding was incorrect. The concept of Daluo did not exist in this world, surpassing the flow of time and space. To think was wrong, to imagine was fallacy; it was the ultimate of everything.

The pinnacle of all mysteries and extraordinary, a so-called life dimension elevated to a supreme state.

Su Tu had previously assumed that this world contained the concept of Daluo, but at this moment, he remembered that information about Daluo was not circulated in this world.

Yet... this world contains Immortals, the Gods, Subspace Evil Gods, and even Wa Huang and the Heaven-Reaching Sect leader have reflections in this world. Surely, this world must contain Daluo!

It's just that...

"Someone doesn't want the concept of Daluo to spread, thus erasing it from the recognition of all beings."

This thought appeared in Su Tu's mind and grew like mad grass.

Quickly, Su Tu suppressed all sorts of thoughts, realizing that compared to these mysterious and great entities, he was too insignificant and rashly intervening would bring no benefit.

"It's just a made-up name."

Su Tu deflected with this reply.

"Let's go, I'll help you verify the characteristics of this bone."

Zhou Wuliang did not notice Su Tu's changes. This Martial Bone had appeared for the first time, and its affixed properties were unknown.

Understanding this Martial Bone now would greatly benefit Su Tu in future battles and confrontations.

Zhou Wuliang took Su Tu away from the inner chamber, and instead of going to the usual Martial Arts Arena where students cultivated, they headed to Old Zhou's cultivation room.

That cultivation room was where Old Zhou cultivated his own body, possessing strong mental barriers, but no one knew how they studied that Martial Bone inside.

All that was known was when Zhou Wuliang exited the cultivation room again, his usually composed demeanor had crumbled.

Even his efforted expression management had collapsed, with his mouth twitching at a rate of seven times per second.

"Master, are you okay...."

Su Tu looked at Old Zhou with considerable concern.

"I'd like some peace and quiet now!"

As expected of Old Zhou, he could still be counted on at such times.

"Then, shall I go train?"

Su Tu cautiously asked.

"Go ahead." Zhou Wuliang responded absentmindedly, then as if recalling something, he continued.

"Wait, from now on, you train in my cultivation room. The gap between you and Luo Fan, Mo Ya, and the others is too great now."

An appropriate gap can stimulate a martial artist's ambition.

But at this moment, the gap between Su Tu and Luo Fan, Mo Ya, and others had turned into a massive chasm.

If someone developed an obsession in their heart, fearing to fall into this abyss, their heart and spirit would darken.

Su Tu also understood Zhou Wuliang's intention and nodded in agreement.

After bidding farewell to Old Zhou, Su Tu began meticulously setting up his stance, Immortal Burial slowly initiating.

Standing outside the cultivation room, Zhou Wuliang watched his student's posture, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"How could such terrifying bones exist in this world, unimaginable, inconceivable..."

"When this Martial Bone reveals itself to the world, it's feared the current Martial Arts system will undergo turbulence, perhaps even collapse..."

"Oh Su Tu, Su Tu, if you were born long ago, you probably could have ascended to becoming an Immortal the instant that Bone Appearance emerged."

"What was that bone of yours called again..."

"Immortal Bone, yes, it was the Immortal Bone...."

The elder stood, resting his hands and slowly left, mumbling the name of Su Tu's second Bone Appearance continuously...

In his memory, that Bone Appearance was named... Immortal Bone....

...

Immortal Burial, this Basic Skill, was the starting point of Su Tu's Martial Arts Dao and the foundation for all his current achievements.

This cultivation technique seems to have trait of being upgradeable.

Even though Su Tu has entered Mingtiao now and opened the Martial Bone, Immortal Burial still brought him bone-cutting, flesh-cutting agony when honing the body.

But compared to the visible growth, this pain was insignificant.

Driven by the Basic Skill, Su Tu's True Qi continuously merged into the blood, turning ordinary blood into one full of boundless vitality, and the resonance between blood and Qi sharpened and honed Su Tu's two newly opened Martial Bones like whetstones.

The more they were honed, the deeper Su Tu's mastery of the Martial Bone became, the more he understood that power.

As Su Tu became immersed in this process

A sound like something shattering reached his ears.

Su Tu introspected, and saw that within the Five Mansions, the Immortal Power Seed had cracked.

In an instant, strands of miraculous power surged forth; this power was Immortal Power, rooted in True Qi, nurtured by the Five Mansions, and it could activate Ancient Skills!

Mastering Immortal Power meant he could now perform Ancient Skills.

A hint of exhilaration appeared in Su Tu's usually calm eyes.

Now, Su Tu could practice the Basic Skill for a solid two hours straight.

And the wondrous feature of Immortal Burial revealed itself once again: initially, at the later stage of Strengthen Body, it could only offer a proficiency of 30, but after Strengthen Body had progressed, it amplified to provide a hundred points of proficiency every 20 minutes.

[You practiced Immortal Burial for 20 minutes, Combat Body Proficiency +100]

[You practiced Immortal Burial for 20 minutes...]

[You practiced..]

[Combat Body (Initial Tier): 809/10000]

The visible strength, always uplifts the spirit.

After two hours of cultivation, Su Tu has deeply felt the various distinctions between the Mingtiao and Peeping Branch realms.

Martial Artists in the First Realm can only simply use Qi for enhancement. Once the Qi is depleted, they are no different from ordinary people, at most slightly more muscular.

But the Second Realm is different. Qi merges into the bloodstream, engraving the bone structure. The physical strength of the Martial Artist continues to strengthen with the increase of Qi, and even without Qi, the nurtured body is unmatched by ordinary people.

And besides the Martial Bone, the greatest feature of this realm is...

Su Tu raised his left hand, palm facing down, and a stream of golden True Qi surged instantly. With a casual wave, that Qi transformed into a thunderous explosion.

Unlike the First Realm where Qi can only be simply ejected, after entering Mingtiao, one can master True Qi externalization, deploying various methods, and condensing some simple Divine Techniques.

The enhancement to combat power is tremendous.

Especially for someone like Su Tu, a top-tier value monster with all stats maxed out, it's even more so.

Now, even without the Ironman solo arena, he could contend with Chen Yuan, and perhaps even have a chance to eliminate him.

But if Su Tu were to return to that time with his current power, he would still choose to use the arena, for the Falling Leaves Realm has too many methods, and Su Tu wouldn't give the opponent a chance to act.

"Let's not be in a hurry to use the Celestial Human Diagram."

Su Tu took out the treasure "borrowed" from Old Zhou — a leather scroll exuding an ancient aura. Upon unrolling it, a transparent humanoid figure was engraved inside.

Within that figure, stars shone brilliantly. Observing with the heart and spirit, one would see infinite grandeur and numerous insights would flood the mind.

The Celestial Human Diagram, the Chen Family's inherited secret treasure, allows Martial Artists to comprehend the Divine Techniques most compatible with themselves. The higher the talent, the stronger the comprehended Divine Techniques.

But Old Zhou advised Su Tu to wait until the Bone Appearance is fully developed for the best effect.

This Celestial Human Diagram is incredibly precious. A Divine Technique fully compatible with oneself can greatly boost a Martial Artist's combat power. Thus, other families must pay a high price to borrow this diagram from the Chen Family, and even then, it depends on the Chen Family's willingness.

Su Tu had seen on a forum before, someone had offered three Sixth Tier Techniques to borrow the diagram, only to be rejected.

"I have no idea how the teacher managed to take this thing from the Chen Family."

Su Tu mused silently in his heart.

.......

Celestial City Star.

The Chen Family's old residence, unlike the luxurious mansion in the center today, is small in area with only a modest thatched house in the courtyard.

In this New Star, where land is precious, such an old residence should have been demolished and rebuilt long ago.

However, outside this dilapidated small courtyard, four dignified Martial Artists stood in a line, their expressions careful and cautious.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would surely exclaim in surprise, for these four are the current power holders of the Chen Family, four strong ones in the Celestial Human Realm!

Such beings should be revered by the people, yet at this moment, outside this small courtyard, they did not even dare to breathe heavily.

"If you have questions, just ask."

A voice as ancient as time sounded from within the courtyard, carrying an indescribable aura of decay. At the moment it sounded, even the blossoming flowers around appeared to wither.

"Ancestor, we don't understand why you let Zhou Wuliang take the Celestial Human Diagram."

"Although he hails from the Heaven-Reaching, now he's just a Seed Dao Martial Artist, why fear him so much."

"Killing Chen Tian aside, and humiliating my Chen Family like this!"

The speaker was named Chen Zian, the current patriarch of the Chen Family.

Originally, when Zhou Wuliang attacked, they were prepared to kill him directly. However, they did not expect the ancestor to personally intervene and stop them, and even hand over the Celestial Human Diagram.

Upon hearing Chen Zian's words, there was a long silence within the courtyard.

"The 'Emperor' title crown is his student, and there is a Supreme willing to back Zhou Wuliang. I foresee that the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage will reappear soon."

"The current Chen Family cannot afford to provoke a Supreme..."

The decaying voice resounded within the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the four looked at each other, a hint of shock in their eyes. They knew of the reappearance of the Emperor title crown, though shocked, it was just that.

The initial crown title was a form of empowerment, recognizing talent, but talent manifestation requires time. In history, among the many Celestial Prides, how many lived to reach the summit in the end?

But if the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage reappears and a Supreme is willing to endorse it...

Then this matter becomes significant...

"Will those above allow it?" Chen Zian asked cautiously.

"Heaven-Reaching's 'roots' still exist. With the Martial Arts Vision support, reopening the Dao Lineage is not difficult."

Hearing this, they exchanged glances, knowing that although others might not know, they were aware. Years ago, when Heaven-Reaching fell, while not the main force, the Chen Family was involved to some extent. If the Dao Lineage were to reopen...

A chill flashed in their eyes.

But before they could speak, the ancient voice sounded again: "Don't even think about it, with a Supreme's protection, you would be destroyed before you could take action.."

"Please enlighten us, ancestor!" Chen Zian directly knelt down, and the other three followed. They understood the ancestor's character — vengeful and never swallowing humiliation easily. Since he was willing to meet them now, he must have a solution.

"Ah~ My old bones are held back by you, unable to progress to Daoist Master."

"The pendant was also lost on the Ancestor Star, and I still have to worry about it." The voice spoke helplessly.

"How many children in the clan practice the Immortal Robe Technique?"

"With Chen Daowen's fall, there are now thirteen left." Chen Zian replied truthfully.

"Leave a seedling, bring the rest to me."

The elder spoke lightly.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Chen Family's four power holders changed.

"What? Unwilling?" The voice from within the courtyard sounded indifferent, but the tone instilled fear in their hearts.

"No... no..." Feeling an immense sense of danger, they sensed that a moment's hesitation could bring disastrous consequences.

"Go."

They respectfully bowed, then hurried away.

"Bloodline as thread, to mend my immortal robe~"

As the ancient voice fell, waves of aura seemed to ripple within the courtyard.

"To be used for the Immortal Robe is your honor....."

A day later, a white-haired young man walked out of the Chen Family's old residence, indifferent like an Immortal, with astonishing talent, directly targeting the Celestial Pride List. With an invincible stance, he continued winning a hundred battles overnight, seemingly climbing towards the top ten!
