第一千二百二十一章 至暗海新法

Although Zhao Wují did not explicitly state the exact method of depriving one's天赋, from the fact that those so-called geniuses from the Immortal Boat Academy had disappeared from people's sight, their fates were likely to be far from good.

More crucially, in his own dreams, Zhao Xián did not encounter anything related to this matter. This caused a momentary panic in him, as he had always believed himself to have foresight and intuition.

However, he was no longer just an ignorant youth. Soon, a cold energy surged from his heart, calming him down quickly.

He rapidly pondered: "Indeed, revealing one's天赋 would attract the attention of the academy's upper echelons. It could even lead to death. But danger often coexists with opportunity."

"The academy is no longer as dominant now; the Immortal Boat has encountered significant changes. The Disenchanting Pavilion and the Immortal Core Academy are fiercely competing for control over the future direction of the boat. Even the Enlightenment Academy would need to consider the impact of this rivalry on the boat's future."

"Genius, merely a genius. As long as I can continue to survive, there will never be a lack of geniuses."

Zhao Xián felt his thoughts clearer than ever before. It was as if something in the depths guided him, unraveling and deducing the correct future amidst the chaos.

"If I hesitate, the Immortal Boat will still face destruction. Only by facing the three major forces head-on can I find a way to survive."

With this thought, the fear in Zhao Xián's eyes vanished completely. His aura became steady once again.

Zhao Wují looked at his disciple with surprise and confusion. Zhao Xián took a deep breath and replied solemnly: "A commoner sacrifices himself for gain; a sage sacrifices himself for the world. I owe the academy my existence, so if my天赋 is useful to it, take it! What do I have to lose?"

"Conversely, if I hide my天赋 by utilizing the academy's resources, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

These words were grand and righteous. Zhao Wují found himself momentarily unable to refute them from a moral standpoint.

He looked at this young disciple as if seeing him for the first time truly.

Zhao Xián’s sincere and resolute gaze made Zhao Wují feel somewhat ashamed.

The two stood in silence, facing each other.

In the end, it was Zhao Wují who gave up. "Very well. With such conviction, I appear petty." He sighed deeply and left dejectedly.

Zhao Xián watched his mentor's back, a complex expression crossing his face before he disappeared.

"I must save the Immortal Boat."

This thought became increasingly firm in his mind.

The master and disciple had no idea why Zhao Xián was so stubborn. It wasn't because of his noble character or unwavering faith; it was simply...

A split consciousness hidden in his识海was causing this.

"Interesting, I didn't expect the Enlightenment Academy to have a method for appropriating others'天赋. No wonder they are the last civilization surviving in the darkest star sea; indeed, there is something commendable about them."

"Whether it's the secret of the Enlightenment Academy or the control over True Immortal Inscriptions by the Immortal Core Academy and the Disenchanting Pavilion, all have value for me. How could I let Zhao Xián retreat? Besides, with me here, injuring him won't be easy either."

News that Zhao Xián had broken through to the Golden Core stage within a short period spread throughout the entire academy three days later.

The academy hadn't seen such a genius in a long time, and now was the eve of great changes. With some people pushing things along, Zhao Xián's reputation quickly spread beyond the academy, becoming increasingly exaggerated.

From barely breaking through to directly entering the Golden Core stage, then seven days to full perfection, finally reaching the half-step Foundation Establishment realm.

By this point, even if those who knew the truth stepped forward to clarify, it was futile. Outsiders would only see it as the academy's attempt to hide such a world-renowned genius.

The Disenchanting Pavilion and the Immortal Core Academy sent people to inquire about Zhao Xián’s background one after another.

Inside the academy, there were differing opinions on how to handle this once-in-a-century cultivation talent. Amidst the surging tide, Zhao Xián focused entirely on his cultivation, hiding in a secret room specially prepared for him within the academy.

"There's no need to worry about whether the spirit energy is sufficient; it's so refreshing. Is this really what the true descendants of the academy receive?"

"Moreover, before the final decision is made, I can freely use most of the academy’s resources."

His spiritual awareness surged, converting into his own cultivation.

With an improved realm, he further nourished and strengthened his spirit awareness in return.

This formed a perfect cycle, allowing Zhao Xián's cultivation speed to reach an almost unbelievable level. There were no bottlenecks or obstacles; he felt as solid as a rock.

No distractions or illusions could affect him at all.

"Even in my dreams, I haven't cultivated this quickly before. Am I really a genius?"

"Was the slow progress of my previous cultivation merely due to resource scarcity and not finding the right功法?"

These thoughts swirled in Zhao Xián's mind.

Meanwhile, the Li Xián split consciousness that had shielded him from numerous heart demons was somewhat overtaxed. Even with the True Immortal Inscription spell’s aid, dealing with these breaking-point heart demons wasn't easy.

The various true and illusory images he experienced made it difficult for Li Xián to maintain his self-awareness each time he escaped. The process of resisting the heart demons seemed recorded, making the next encounter more challenging.

After all, it was just a split consciousness; some wear and tear were normal.

"Imagine how difficult ascension would be when the darkest star sea's laws had not yet broken."

"It’s no wonder that the new laws in the Xuanhuang realm could replace them."

Thinking this, Li Xián suddenly had an idea. The darkest star sea could be seen as a larger version of the Xuanhuang realm with higher law limits.

Just not disrupted by True Immortal Inscriptions.

If the transmission and practice of new laws worked in the Xuanhuang realm, did that mean they would also function normally in this star sea under normal circumstances?

"Everything required must be scaled up to the level of the star sea..."

"Basis substances for Foundation Establishment, methods for cultivating the Golden Core, and the world of the Foundation Establishment—these are all manifestations of world laws. The laws of the darkest star sea have broken, filled with the power of True Immortal Inscriptions."

"Consider it this way: these True Immortal Inscriptions are the manifestation of the star sea's law power."

A flash of insight appeared in Li Xián’s mind as he seemed to grasp a crucial clue.

"The Disenchanting Pavilion practices using True Immortal Inscriptions, perhaps on the same principle as the new laws in the Xuanhuang realm."
