Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 511 - 512: Heavenly Control Scripture, Overseeing Heaven and Earth
Chapter 511: Chapter 512: Heavenly Control Scripture, Overseeing Heaven and Earth
“Senior Brother, it hurts, it hurts so much!”
In a void, surrounded by endless darkness, a broken figure wails in agony, bloodied hands constantly waving toward Zhong Lin, the voice full of pleading.
Zhong Lin, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and touched his chest.
Just now, while cultivating, Long Zhao’s voice inexplicably appeared in his mind.
One must know that his current cultivation has already comprehended life and death; the strength of his divine soul would never allow such a voice to appear during cultivation without reason.
“Long Zhao…”
Zhong Lin’s eyes were full of uncertainty; at this moment, he had confirmed that something must have happened to Long Zhao; otherwise, he wouldn’t suddenly hear Long Zhao’s voice during cultivation without reason.
Since their parting in Heavenly Sea Country years ago, there had been no contact except for Long Zhao sending over a cultivation technique from the Sea Suppressing Sect.
“Mystic Sky Dragon Transformation Technique… something happened to Long Zhao.”
Zhong Lin had long achieved perfection in the Mystic Sky Dragon Transformation Technique. This cultivation technique is the core of the Sea Suppressing Sect, and few can cultivate it to perfection. He being able to hear Long Zhao’s voice must surely be due to this cultivation technique; this is the only connection between the two.
Facing this junior brother, Zhong Lin had long regarded him as one of his own. If not for Long Zhao, it would have been difficult for him to leave Luoxing Islands, and without the cultivation technique he sent, Zhong Lin might not have won first place in the Outer Sect disciple competition, let alone enter the Sword Pavilion and achieve his current accomplishments.
Having the System Panel, Zhong Lin was confident that his future without these benefits would not be weak, but Long Zhao’s presence indeed allowed him to avoid many detours, so he had long considered Long Zhao truly as his junior brother, not just a tool.
After all, the human heart is warm.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lin suddenly stood up, his body turning into sword light heading towards the Sword Pavilion, before going straight to Sky-reaching Peak.
“Little Junior Brother, what brings you here today?”
To Zhong Lin’s arrival, Senior Brother Tu Ye was also surprised, but his actions were extremely welcoming.
“Senior Brother, where has Master gone?” Zhong Lin asked urgently.
“Master went to Xuanming Holy Land for an appointment, is there something urgent?”
Tu Ye also sensed Zhong Lin’s urgency and curiously asked.
Zhong Lin recounted the voice he heard of Long Zhao during cultivation, also explaining his relationship with Long Zhao.
Tu Ye pondered for a moment and said, “With your cultivation, it’s impossible to have such a sensation without reason. It must be because of the Mystic Sky Dragon Transformation Technique, allowing you to resonate with heaven and earth during cultivation, sensing a bit of ethereal intention. It seems your friend is indeed in trouble.”
“Senior Brother, this person is extremely important to me, do you have any way for me to find his whereabouts?”
“Hold on a moment.”
Tu Ye’s divine thought probed into the storage bracelet, and after a short while, he took out a jade scroll and handed it over.
“This is the ’Heavenly Control Scripture,’ which I obtained by betting with a friend. It is a branch of innate numerology, claiming to grasp the movements of heaven and earth, and can indeed provide some interesting insights. If you can master it, you might be able to gather some useful information.”
Zhong Lin reached out to take it. He had some understanding of innate numerology, which is categorized separately from martial arts, calling itself ’Heavenly Mechanism Studies.’ Such martial arts observe the universe to deduce all things, including fate.
Innate numerology is extremely varied, with branches like Ziwei, star formations, water patterns, cloud formations, wind flow, Liu Ren, plum blossom divination, geomancy…
Various schools sometimes even contradict one another.
The main issue is that martial artists don’t believe in fate; they only believe in their fists and power, so the Heavenly Mechanism faction couldn’t develop properly.
Of course, the ’Heavenly Mechanism Studies’ isn’t entirely useless; many martial artists have created martial arts techniques akin to ’Deciphering complete’ from Smiling Proud Wanderer, incorporating predictions within combat, merging Heavenly Mechanism deductions into their martial arts.
Zhong Lin’s divine thought entered the jade scroll, reading the information within.
“Push to perceive the past and future, examine the heavens and the earth’s expanse.”
“Push” refers to deduction; this martial art claims to deduce events of the past and future. As for “patterns,” these refer to palm patterns. Mastering this art reveals the heavens and earth, the four seas and eight wildernesses.
“Such audacity.”
Zhong Lin raised an eyebrow, unable to help but remark.
“Indeed quite audacious; innate numerology has its merits. In the Thunder Domain, there’s a sect called the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; in the Fang Domain, there’s a Yi Family specializing in Ziwei numerology. This line requires constant observation of the Heavenly and people’s hearts, the world’s workings; it’s a study needing continuous learning and advancement, unlike martial arts, where having a strong spiritual origin and enough time and conditions can lead to mastery.
It’s credible, but not entirely so.
If you manage to master this ’Heavenly Control Scripture,’ with the connection between you two, you might deduce his location.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Zhong Lin took a deep breath, calming his state of mind, then sat cross-legged at the side, beginning to study the ’Heavenly Control Scripture.’
The ’Heavenly Control Scripture’ is obscure and mysterious; its contents are extremely difficult to understand. Without guidance, having the scripture is as useless as a wordless heavenly book.
But for Zhong Lin, this wasn’t difficult; the ’Taiwei Spiritual Mind Heavenly Earth Cave Heavenly Scripture’ is capable of analyzing all things.
In half an hour, he gained some insight into the ’Heavenly Control Scripture,’ already entering the basics.
As long as you find a foothold, it’s a start.
“System, add skill points for me.”

With the ’Heavenly Control Scripture’ reaching full level, a vast amount of experience and memories regarding innate numerology surged into his mind, comparable in magnitude to the ’Unification Sword Skill.’
“Little Junior Brother, how is it? Have you gained anything?” Tu Ye curiously asked.
Innate numerology differs from martial arts; so-called martial arts talent has little use in this area, relying instead on comprehension.
Tu Ye knew that his little junior brother’s comprehension was unparalleled but wanted to truly gauge how unparalleled it was.
Zhong Lin closed the jade scroll containing the ’Heavenly Control Scripture,’ eyes slightly closed, and after a moment, he slowly said, “Truly astounding! Senior Brother, I want to give it a try.”
As he spoke, his five fingers spread open, palm upwards, eyes intensely focused on the patterns in his palm.
“Push to perceive the past and future, examine the heavens and the earth’s expanse…”
In that instant, countless strange hexagrams flashed and spun like a fleeting scene in Zhong Lin’s eyes.
