Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"However, Chu Qin, there's nothing difficult in the world, it just requires someone's effort," Jiu Yin replied. "I believe you will definitely find it. Oh right, there might even be some clues in the Primordial Universe!"

"The Primordial Universe?" Chu Qin raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Jiu Yin nodded. "The Primordial Universe comes from beyond the heavens, there must be some clues there. I'll go look for them and tell you if I find anything."

"I'll go with you," Chu Qin said.

"You have already broken through your realm and can't enter anymore. Otherwise, it's easy for the Outer Heavenly Lord to detect us, and then it would be troublesome," Jiu Yin shook her head and said.

"Hey, then what do you think about me forcing out this Outer Heavenly Lord? Could I do that?" Chu Qin asked.

"Forget it!" Jiu Yin replied. "The Outer Heavenly Lord is not just any ordinary person. If he sees me by your side and knows that you possess artifacts from the Infinite Immortal Domain and the Great Thousand Buddha Nation, you'd be finished!"

"Then how about this, Sheng Yi!" Chu Qin called out gently.

Sheng Yi immediately appeared next to Chu Qin.

"Xiao Yi, Jiu Yin is going to the Primordial Universe to seek clues for ascending to the heavens. You go with her. If you encounter any trouble, crush this jade slip, and I will rescue you at the first opportunity," Chu Qin said.

"As you command, Master!" Upon finishing her words, Sheng Yi left with Jiu Yin.

And Chu Qin sat down cross-legged.

He had to go beyond the heavens. Thus, if that was the case, Chu Qin needed to become stronger; otherwise, how could he establish himself in the outer realms?

Even though Chu Qin already possessed the strength of the Divine Lord Third Layer, qualifying him to be a Great Universe Master, Jiu Yin had already said that above the great universe, there were the Heavenly Domains and the Saint Domain Lords.

Therefore, Chu Qin needed to become even stronger.

First, Chu Qin's attention focused on Six Heavenly Demon Styles and the Immortal Demon Body.

There were not many secret manuals Chu Qin could use now; only the Six Heavenly Demon Styles, Xuantian Emperor Array, Demonic Body, The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique, Life Original Resolution… The rest of the manuals had basically been phased out.

After cultivating for a while, Chu Qin's mastery of the Six Heavenly Demon Styles climbed another level, but he had already reached the peak of the Xuantian Emperor Array, Life Original Resolution, and Demonic Body.

As for The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique, Chu Qin had made no progress. During casual conversations, Chu Qin had asked Azure Dragon about it, and Azure Dragon's mastery over The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique was nearly at the same level as his.

Azure Dragon mentioned that it might be due to not having found the right method of cultivation.

Yet The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique originated from beyond the heavens, so to find the method of cultivation, it seemed he would have to go there first.

So, Chu Qin temporarily set it aside.

"Right, it seems like the System just gave me two more secret manuals!" Chu Qin suddenly remembered.

After that, the memories of those two secret manuals appeared in his mind—Unmeasurable Divine Sword. By its name, it must certainly be a sword technique manual.

Chu Qin searched his memory and discovered that this Unmeasurable Divine Sword was indeed used in conjunction with the Primordial True Sword.

Chu Qin set it aside for the time being as well; after all, he couldn't unleash his full potential in this space, and sword technique manuals were best understood through combat.

In the end, Chu Qin's attention settled on the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body.

From the name, it seemed to be related to the so-called Great Thousand Buddha Nation, and indeed it appeared to be a set of techniques.

But Chu Qin realized he was mistaken; the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body did not originate from the Great Thousand Buddha Nation but was an ancient and lost legacy from beyond the heavens!

The Ancient Buddha Overlord Body was divided into three realms: Ancient Buddha Descending into the World, Ancient Buddha Annihilating the World, and the No Buddha Realm.

Ancient Buddha Descending into the World, the first level of the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body, focused on defense, pure defense, where one cultivates their physique to the extreme, forging an exceptionally strong defensive body.

The Annihilating the World realm was purely offensive, allowing the user to rapidly unleash their body's potential, gaining unprecedented offensive power.

Chu Qin found that this was somewhat similar to the Demonic Body.

Regarding the No Buddha Realm, it transcended laws with a spiritual shock. Through the selfless realm, the practitioner could use their spiritual power to descend to any place and kill from afar. Dominating the heavens and the earth, it was also known as the Sole Domain!

Seeing these three methods described, Chu Qin instantly felt that this was an extraordinary manual.

Indeed, it was so; while Chu Qin could readily learn ordinary manuals provided by the System, powerful manuals required diligent cultivation and gradual progression.

However, Chu Qin found after practicing that, even though there were three levels, they actually cultivated simultaneously.

That is to say, from the very start, Chu Qin could master pure defense, pure offense, and spiritual shock techniques.

It was just that he needed to continuously improve these three effects later on.

Ten days flew by as Chu Qin was engrossed in cultivating the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body.

And Chu Qin had no need to worry about Xiaowu and the rest, as they were all absorbing the Divine Lord Third Layer crystal stones from the Taiyin True Dragon.

He believed that once Xiaowu and the others emerged from their breakthroughs, their strength would soar once again!

This day, Chu Qin was sitting cross-legged in the Outer Realms, with his eyes closed.

There were no longer any living beings or planets in the Outer Realms, just a vast emptiness, making it the perfect place for cultivation.

It's worth mentioning that the Tianmen in the Outer Realms was already destroyed by the fight between Chu Qin and the Taiyin True Dragon.

After all, the Tianmen had the protection of the Azure Dragon during the battle, but the Outer Realms did not.

He was bathed in a radiant Buddha light, and behind him, a golden ethereal Ancient Buddha slowly emerged.

"I did it!" exclaimed Chu Qin, eyes opening excitedly, the manifestation of the Ancient Buddha signifying that his Ancient Buddha Overlord Body had made a certain level of achievement.

Chu Qin had gained yet another trump card!

On the other hand, Chu Qin's two avatars were practicing the Unmeasurable Divine Sword, pitting the Primordial True Sword against the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff.

That was another advantage of Chu Qin's avatars; he could retain all memories and sensations of his avatars and cultivate different Secret Manuals simultaneously.

Following that, with a mere thought, Chu Qin merged his avatars back into his main body.

Chu Qin was about to leave the Outer Realms when his Divine Sense seemed to capture something.

With a thought, he arrived in a part of the Cosmic Void.

Here, chaos reigned with the corrosive gases amidst the chaos seeming capable of erosion.

However, to Chu Qin, such corrosion meant nothing; with a wave of his hand, he completely dissipated it.

Subsequently, Chu Qin tore open the space in front of him.

And the next moment, a terrifying beastly roar echoed as an enormous Xuan Turtle Beast, as vast as the stars themselves, charged out of the space, aiming to kill Chu Qin.

This Xuan Turtle Beast looked extraordinary, possessing at least the strength of the Ancestor Realm.

But before it could even touch Chu Qin, it was easily immobilized by him with a mere point, frozen in place.

The Xuan Turtle Beast, immediately terrified, realized it was facing a supreme powerhouse and cried out, "Spare me, great one, please spare me!"

"What sort of creature are you?" Chu Qin demanded coldly. The entire Outer Realms were devoid of life, yet here was a Xuan Turtle Beast, unexpectedly surprising him.

"Great one," the Xuan Turtle Beast replied timidly, "I am called the Golden Temple Divine Turtle Beast!"

"Golden Temple Divine Turtle Beast?" Chu Qin was slightly bewildered. He had never heard of this so-called turtle beast.

"Great one!" the Xuan Turtle Beast continued, "That's because, I was born with a golden temple on my back."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin turned his gaze to the creature's back, where indeed there stood a colossal golden open-air temple!

Moreover, Chu Qin discovered divine power fluctuations within that golden temple, so he instantly teleported inside.

Surrounding this temple were twenty-four gigantic thrones, with a tremendously large Compass at the center.

This Compass, possibly a million meters in diameter, was engraved with dense, ancient characters of various sorts.

Chu Qin could feel an extraordinary aura pulsating from it.

This Compass was actually an Emperor Divine Artifact!

"What place is this?" Chu Qin asked the Golden Temple Divine Turtle Beast.

"Great one, this place used to be the headquarters of the Outer Domain Devil Monarchs," the Xuan Turtle Beast did not dare to hide anything. "The Holy Artifact in the center was forged over endless years on my back by the Outer Heavenly Lord Tianji Yao. It's said to be the Heavenly Secret Disk, capable of knowing everything under heaven!"

"How does it work?" asked Chu Qin immediately upon hearing this.

"Great one, you just need to infuse it with Divine Power," replied the Xuan Turtle Beast.

On hearing this, Chu Qin acted at once, his surging Divine Power flowing into the Heavenly Secret Disk.

In an instant, the Golden Temple Divine Turtle Beast felt an incredibly terrifying power.

This power seemed even greater than that of the twenty-four Outer Domain Devil Monarchs.

And the next second, the Heavenly Secret Disk began to rotate, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Soon after, within that golden light, a great hall appeared.

This hall was the spitting image of the Azure Dragon Hall.

"Could it be, the clue to ascension is in the Azure Dragon Hall?" Chu Qin exclaimed with a slight surprise.

Without a doubt, what he was seeking was indeed the pathway to ascension.
