I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Jade Terrace atop the main peak of Tian Shu Sect, the sea of ​​clouds still surges.

Ten-year-old Su Yu, dressed in a well-fitting plain-colored Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on the warm jade bed in the cave.

With a long, gentle rise and fall of his chest, he slowly opened his eyes.

Within the meridians, the powerful true essence was like a pool about to overflow, unable to hold even a trace of spiritual energy.

The ninth level of Qi Refining, the Great Perfection.

At the age of ten, he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, the Great Perfection stage.

If this matter were to spread outside, it would be enough to shake the Dao hearts of those so-called prodigies and leave the inner sect elders speechless with fear.

You should know that even ordinary geniuses with extraordinary spiritual roots, who are raised on top-grade spiritual herbs and guided by famous teachers day and night, are all extraordinary.

After ten years of arduous training, being able to even touch the threshold of the seventh level of Qi Refining is already considered incredibly lucky.

But Su Yu was able to progress so quickly not only because of his aptitude as an earth spirit root, but also because of the improved "Creation Furnace Technique" which allowed him to cultivate with every breath.

What's most unreasonable is his experience over the past ten years.

The spiritual energy on this main peak is already abundant and transforms into rain.

Even when Su Yu just went out for a walk and passed by the cliff, a drop of millennia-old jade marrow that only condenses once every ten thousand years would fall into his water cup.

While sitting in the courtyard taking a nap, a rare spirit bird flying overhead might just drop an unnamed vermilion fruit from its beak into his arms.

On one occasion, when he had nothing to do, he casually dug a hole in the back mountain to bury some fruit pits, and unexpectedly unearthed the source of an ancient miniature spiritual spring with a single stroke of his hoe.

All sorts of inexplicable natural treasures and spiritual elixirs were lined up and fed to him.

The power of over five thousand points of good fortune was fully demonstrated in the daily trivialities of these ten years.

A soft sound came from the stone door deep inside the cave.

Ancestor Tian Shu walked out slowly, his hands behind his back.

He glanced at Su Yu sitting on the bed, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he naturally sensed the extremely abundant true essence within Su Yu's body.

Ancestor Tian Shu was not surprised by this cultivation speed.

He personally improved that technique, so he naturally knew how clever it was to refine spiritual energy with every breath.

Moreover, he had witnessed all the outrageous things that had happened to Su Yu over the past ten years.

If God is constantly feeding him, and he still hasn't reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in ten years, then he'll start to doubt the value of this "Chosen One".

"Yu'er, how's your cultivation consolidation going?"

Tian Shu walked to the stone table and sat down, casually asking a question.

"Reporting to Master, the true essence has been fully compressed, and there is no further room for advancement."

Su Yu got off the bed, walked to the table, and poured a cup of spiritual tea for the old monster.

He was always calm and composed, and at the age of ten, he did these tea-serving actions without the slightest childish impetuosity.

Tian Shu picked up his teacup, looked at the disciple he had been guarding for ten years, and nodded in satisfaction.

"You have now reached the peak of Qi Refining. The next step is Foundation Establishment."

The Heavenly Pivot Ancestor's expression was extremely solemn.

"The Foundation Establishment stage is of paramount importance. Our Heavenly Pivot Sect's Holy Son must never forcibly liquefy his true essence with the help of pills like ordinary cultivators; that would be a step down from the proper path!"

"You must walk the path of 'Foundation Building of the Heavenly Dao,' where humanity and nature converge, to capture that trace of the laws of heaven and earth!"

"The foundation of the Heavenly Dao emphasizes the interaction between Heaven and humanity, and the comprehension of the laws."

"I will go and activate the 'Heaven-Guiding Array' on the main peak and brew you the 'Enlightenment Tea' that has been treasured for eight thousand years."

"Don't go anywhere these next few days. Prepare for seclusion and try to capture that faint trace of the laws of heaven and earth!"

After hearing this, Su Yu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he almost lost his composure.

Foundation building of the Heavenly Dao? Comprehending the laws?!

Although in his fourth life, he relied on his extraordinary comprehension to not only easily achieve the Foundation Establishment of the Heavenly Dao, but also perceive the higher limits when he formed a first-grade golden core.

But in this life, he spent all his points on good fortune, leaving him with a pitiful 38 points of comprehension!

Let alone touching that forbidden territory that no one before us has ever set foot in.

Even if you ask him to follow the steps to comprehend the most basic Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he's completely lost!

However, Su Yu did not respond to the topic of Foundation Establishment.

He looked at Tian Shu and, taking advantage of the casual conversation, asked a question that had been lingering in his mind for the past ten years.

"Master, over the years I have been reading through the sect's classic texts, and the realms recorded therein are mostly Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul."

"There are very few records about the Nascent Soul stage. As for anything above the Nascent Soul stage, there is not a single word about it."

"Is the Nascent Soul stage the end of cultivation?"

After all, Su Yu had personally faced a Void Refinement expert in his fourth life.

Even in the fourth world, the existence of the Refinement Realm is clearly recorded in ancient books.

But in this world of cultivation, where spiritual energy is abundant, all industries are thriving, and there is even a tradition that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, it is a legitimate world of cultivation.

In the library of the prestigious Southern Wilderness's premier immortal sect, the records of cultivation realms only extend to the Nascent Soul stage.

This is truly chilling to think about.

Even a wasteland world knows the way forward, but a prosperous immortal sect is like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words...

Tian Shu paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

He put down his cup, looked at the surging sea of ​​clouds outside the cave, and remained silent for a long time.

"It's not recorded in the classics because the people who wrote them couldn't see the path either."

Tian Shu's voice was somewhat hoarse, revealing a sense of desolation and helplessness that had been hidden for tens of thousands of years.

"Yu'er, do you know that the Southern Wilderness cultivation world we live in is not a complete world?"

Su Yu remained calm and listened quietly.

"High above the distant heavens, there is an invisible barrier."

"That boundary wall is like an invisible prison that seals off the heavens and the earth, suppressing and sealing our world within it."

Tian Shu raised his hand and pointed to the seemingly vast and boundless sky above, his eyes revealing a deep sense of powerlessness and sorrow.

"This barrier isolates us from the vast starry sky outside and severs the original fortune of this world."

"Because of this, the Heavenly Dao of this world is incomplete, the laws are flawed, and the spiritual energy has gradually thinned out during these ten thousand years of sealing."

"Because the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, the highest level that cultivators in this world can reach is the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"There is nowhere to go further up."

Tian Shu gave a bitter smile.

"I have been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for a full ten thousand years."

"In these ten thousand years, I have tried every possible method, searching every corner of this world. I even risked the depletion of my lifespan to forcefully break through that boundary barrier."

"But it can't be forced open, not even a tiny crack can be torn open."

Tian Shu turned his head and his gaze fell on Su Yu.

There was an extremely heavy expectation in his eyes.

"Originally, I had already resigned myself to my fate and prepared to sit in meditation and wait for death on this main peak."

"Until ten years ago, you were born."

Tian Shu stared at him intently, and a blazing flame, suppressed for ten thousand years, suddenly ignited in his cloudy old eyes.

"The four auspicious omens that your birth brought forth were purple aura from the east, and all kinds of beasts came to pay homage. These are extraordinary phenomena that I have never seen in my ten thousand years of life, and even after searching through all the ancient scrolls of the Southern Wilderness."

"Yu'er, do you know what this means?"

Tian Shu's voice trembled slightly as he extended his withered fingers and slammed them heavily on the stone table.

"A world that is tightly sealed by a boundary wall and whose laws are incomplete has long since lost its fortune and origin, like water without a source, gradually drying up over the long years."

"Logically speaking, a stagnant well on the verge of drying up could never have given birth to a peerless prodigy like you, whose fortune is so boundless that even the laws of heaven and earth seem to favor you!"

"It's like a Nine-Turn Immortal Lotus suddenly growing out of nowhere in a barren desert; this is an absolute anomaly that defies the laws of nature!"

The old monster stared intently at Su Yu, his eyes revealing a madness and certainty that seemed to have seen through the secrets of heaven.

"This unusual event must be the will of Heaven!"

"This fragmented Heavenly Dao clearly sensed its impending doom, and defied all reason, forcibly squeezing out the last trace of primordial essence from this world to forcibly bestow upon you, a chosen one of destiny!"

"This is Heaven's way of saving itself!"

Tian Shu took a deep breath, his tone carrying a resolute determination to bet everything.

"You are the final gamble in this broken world, a chance to shatter that ancient shackle!"

"Therefore, the only hope to break through the barrier lies with you."

"No one else in this world could do this but you."

Su Yu looked at Tian Shu, and at the right moment, a solemn expression appeared on his face, the kind of seriousness a young man should have when he heard about the secrets of heaven and earth.

But deep down, he calmly processed those words completely.

It turns out that the ceiling of this life was also sealed off by someone.

The peak of the Nascent Soul stage is the limit.

To go further, you have to break down the barriers.

This is Tian Shu's obsession, and the source of his ten thousand years of resentment.

But Su Yu was not blinded by this sense of mission to save the world.

Whether or not the boundary is broken is something only those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage need to consider.

He's only ten years old now, and at most he's at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

There are several major barriers in between, such as Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

Just keep the ceiling issue in mind; there's no need to worry about it now.

"Rest assured, Master."

Su Yu put down his teacup, his tone calm, without uttering any grand pronouncements about definitely smashing the boundary wall.

"Disciple will first lay a solid foundation of mindset for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment."

Upon hearing this answer, Tian Shu stopped discussing those heavy topics and smiled while stroking his beard.

"Why don't you go for a walk in the back mountain, relax and calm your mind?"

"I will go and activate the Heaven-Guiding Array to brew that Enlightenment Tea for you."

After saying that, Tian Shu stood up, turned around and walked into the secret chamber deep inside the cave.

Su Yu walked out of the cave and headed towards the back of the mountain along the mountain path of the main peak.

The back mountain is shrouded in mist and ancient trees reach for the sky.

He wasn't deliberately looking for anything; he was just casually walking along a moss-covered stone path.

He was secretly worried, wondering how he could possibly comprehend the ethereal laws of heaven and earth with only thirty-eight points of comprehension.

As I walked, my toe bumped into something hard in the soil.

Su Yu stopped and looked down.

It was a round stone slab half-buried in the soil, its surface covered with years of grime, and its edges were engraved with intricate patterns.

He kicked it casually.

The stone slab was flipped over, revealing the complete array markings underneath.

The grooves at the center of the array even contained several ancient spirit stones, whose luster was dim but whose spiritual energy was still astonishing.

This is a spirit-gathering array plate left over from ancient times.

Judging from the material and the complexity of the patterns, it is of extremely high quality and is very well preserved.

Su Yu bent down and picked it up with a calm expression, then patted off the dirt.

"Good luck."

He took the ancient array plate and walked to a spacious cliff edge to sit down.

The moment he sat down cross-legged.

The gaseous true essence within the body, which had been compressed to its limit, suddenly began to circulate on its own.

That surge of true essence broke through the final barrier of the Qi Refining stage and began to transform into a liquid state.

Foundation building began naturally.

at the same time.

Above the main peak, the once clear sky quickly darkened.

Several dark clouds gathered overhead, with lightning flashing faintly within them, exuding an extremely pure and refined aura of the laws of heaven and earth.

The laws governing this world are flawed.

Ordinary cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are not subject to any tribulation lightning.

However, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building emphasizes the interaction between Heaven and Man, requiring cultivators to actively touch and resonate with the core laws of this world.

This incomplete and flawed Heavenly Dao is extremely exclusive.

Once it senses that someone is trying to steal its energy, it will instinctively reject and backfire, thus turning into a minor heavenly tribulation.

Although the lightning was not very powerful, it was not enough to kill someone on the spot.

However, falling during the Foundation Establishment stage, a critical juncture requiring complete concentration and extremely precise transformation of liquid true essence, is practically a fatal death warrant!

It can easily trigger a runaway of true essence, causing the Foundation Establishment stage to collapse on the spot.

Even though Heaven itself favored Su Yu greatly, it still instinctively unleashed this lightning punishment.

Su Yu looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a finger, struck down from the clouds, heading straight for Su Yu's head.

But just as the thunder was about to strike...

The ancient spirit-gathering array plate that Su Yu casually placed beside him suddenly lit up with a faint light.

This array plate was originally a divine object used by ancient powerful beings to intercept the vital energy of the Heavenly Dao.

The lightning struck precisely at the damaged core of the array plate.

"Buzz—"

The raging power of the Heavenly Dao lightning was instantly absorbed by the array plate.

After being filtered and transformed by the ancient array patterns, the lightning, which was originally full of destructive power, was crushed and turned into clear fragments of the laws of heaven and earth!

This fragment of law flowed out along the array plate like a trickle, requiring no effort from Su Yu to comprehend it.

It was forcefully and without resistance crammed into his mind and dantian, just like feeding a duck!

No need to understand!

The heavens simply shoved the standard answer into his meridians!

The laws that originally required extremely high comprehension to understand during the liquefaction process were now so obedient as to be outrageous.

There is no pain, and no risk of going astray.

Liquid true essence and the laws of heaven and earth merge perfectly in the dantian, forming the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, naturally perfect and flawless!

After the thunderclouds symbolically split open this way, they dispersed on their own.

The Celestial Ancestor Tian Shu had already appeared on the mountain path not far away.

He held in his hand a cup of tea, which he had carefully brewed over eight thousand years, as if it were a precious treasure.

Looking at the ancient array plate next to Su Yu, which was still radiating warmth.

Then, he felt Su Yu's extremely stable and perfect Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment aura.

The old monster who had lived for ten thousand years and had reached the Nascent Soul stage fell silent.

Others who establish their foundation through the Heavenly Dao must suppress their cultivation for decades and painstakingly comprehend the laws of heaven and earth on the brink of life and death...

His own disciple went for a walk, got struck by lightning, and the Heavenly Dao just chewed up its own laws and fed them to him?!

"Master."

Su Yu stood up, patted his Taoist robe, and said with a strange expression.

"It seems that my disciple has reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao, so there's no need for you to brew tea."

Tian Shu glanced at the cup of Enlightenment Tea in his hand, which exuded profound Daoist charm, and then at Su Yu, who was completely unharmed.

After a long while, he expressionlessly flipped his wrist and silently poured the incomparably precious Enlightenment Tea into the soil beside him.

"Good."

Tian Shu is now completely convinced.

The good fortune of this chosen one is utterly unreasonable!
