Chapter 12

Hearing Zhao Shuo's exclamation, Zhao Feng couldn't help but glance at the few deep-sea black ink spirit herbs and said, "Second Brother, could these deep-sea black ink spirit herbs be some kind of treasure?"

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but respond, "Big Brother, if it's just the deep-sea black ink spirit herbs, they are indeed highly toxic. But if combined with the hot blood from a dragon's heart, the two can merge to form the legendary Heavenly Reversal Spirit Pill."

Zhao Feng's mouth dropped open. He looked at the unremarkable deep-sea black ink spirit herbs and then at Zhao Shuo, his voice trembling as if in a dream, "You mean the legendary Heavenly Reversal Spirit Pill?"

Zhao Shuo nodded and smiled, "Exactly."

Exhaling a deep breath, Zhao Feng said, "I can hardly believe it. It's said that the Heavenly Reversal Spirit Pill is only possessed by ancient lineages and noble families, each one being incredibly precious. It can cleanse the body and open all the body's acupoints, making it a heaven-defying pill that can turn a worthless person into a cultivation prodigy."

Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Feng with surprise and said, "In ancient times, this kind of pill wasn't too precious. But now, while the hot blood from a dragon's heart isn't too hard to find, the deep-sea black ink spirit herbs are extremely rare. With the extinction of the deep-sea black dragons, the deep-sea black ink spirit herbs are almost extinct. I didn't expect Big Brother to know about the Heavenly Reversal Spirit Pill!"

Zhao Feng laughed awkwardly and said, "Big Brother's talent is not great, and neither you nor Little Sister have outstanding talent. So, when I fish, I always inquire about such things, naturally knowing about this legendary Heavenly Spirit Pill."

Zhao Shuo glanced at the deep-sea black ink spirit herbs and struggled to shift his gaze, saying, "Big Brother, this place might be the cultivation site of a great sage from ancient times. Let's look around. If we can find any treasures, it will be a great opportunity for us."

Zhao Feng nodded excitedly, and the two of them began searching the various chambers.

Zhao Shuo entered several chambers but found that many things inside had turned to dust, even the stone beds and tables had crumbled into dust over time.

However, Zhao Shuo was not discouraged. Knowing that the contents of these chambers couldn't withstand the passage of time, he realized that this cave dwelling must date back to ancient times. Even an unknown cultivator from ancient times would be a lofty existence to Zhao Shuo and his companions. If they could find something, it would indeed be a supreme opportunity.

Entering another chamber, Zhao Shuo's eyes suddenly froze. His gaze was fixed on a broken scroll floating in mid-air. The scroll emitted a faint starlight, and looking at it was like gazing into a profound and mysterious starry sky.

Zhao Shuo suddenly understood that he might have hit the jackpot. The broken scroll was clearly a fragment of the legendary Nine Ancient Star Maps, which were said to cover the sky and earth in their complete form. However, they were shattered into countless pieces during the ancient war. The fragment before Zhao Shuo was one of the largest among the countless fragments.

As if in a dream, Zhao Shuo slowly approached the fragment. The hazy starlight from the fragment fell upon him, and instantly, Zhao Shuo let out a piercing scream. The starlight felt like countless steel needles piercing his body. As more and more starlight flowed into Zhao Shuo's body like a stream, his body began to swell rapidly.

His clothes had long turned to shreds on the ground, and his entire body had grown by a full circle. Under the influence of the starlight, all his pores were completely opened, and streams of blood and black filth spurted out from his countless pores. Fortunately, no one else saw this scene, or they would likely have nightmares.

The starlight seemed endless, pouring into Zhao Shuo's body. His muscles rippled as if countless worms were surging within him. His voice was already hoarse from screaming. If he could faint, Zhao Shuo would rather choose eternal unconsciousness than endure such pain.

Pain, pain, nothing but pain. If he could, Zhao Shuo would rather not have obtained this heaven-level inheritance star map that everyone coveted, passed down from ancient times.

It's no wonder Zhao Shuo had such thoughts. Even in ancient times, those who received the inheritance star map had similar thoughts when they first accepted it. The star map contained boundless star essence, and the star power, one of the most violent among various elemental forces, was not easy to endure.

The inheritance star map, beginning to recognize its master, used a large amount of star essence to forcibly cleanse and strengthen the body. Although the process was unbearable, if one could survive without going mad or dying, they would have a talent comparable to the great sages born with innate abilities in ancient times. Such an opportunity was not something everyone could encounter, requiring the accumulation of the purest and most abundant star essence over tens or even millions of years.

Bathed in the hazy starlight, Zhao Shuo's eyes were somewhat vacant. As time passed, the cleansing and strengthening process was gradually nearing its end.

At some point, Zhao Feng appeared in the chamber, his face filled with shock as he stared at Zhao Shuo, who was bathed in starlight. His eyes were fixed on the inheritance star map floating above Zhao Shuo's head.

In Zhao Feng's hand was a black bracelet, exuding an ancient and desolate aura, clearly a remarkable treasure.

"Um!"

A light hum came from Zhao Shuo's mouth. With a muffled groan, the inheritance star map, which had been floating above Zhao Shuo's head, suddenly turned into a stream of light and entered Zhao Shuo's body. At the same time, the gray and chaotic void in Zhao Shuo's mind suddenly became silent, and a radiant inheritance star map appeared in the chaotic space.

The moment the inheritance star map appeared, it was as if the world had just been created. A thunderous sound echoed in Zhao Shuo's mind, like the sound of the universe being split open by Pangu in ancient times. The inheritance star map slowly rotated along a mysterious path, and boundless starlight fell. Each point of starlight pushed away the gray mist in the mind and occupied a position. At the same time, countless profound messages appeared in Zhao Shuo's heart.
