Chapter 2 Only for You (Revised)

  Zhao Duo's heart ached, and he lowered his head to eat in silence. In that instant, Zhao Duo clearly saw the glint of tears in Chu Xiu's eyes.

  For some reason, Zhao Zhuo's mind didn't have any memories of his father, but he didn't think much of it either. After all, many of the memories he had obtained were lost, so not being able to recall them wasn't anything unusual.

  "Mother, where's older brother?"

  Zhao Duo pushed away his rice bowl and watched as Chu Xiu ate slowly and elegantly.

  Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Your elder brother has gone to the seaside, he wants to make a living by fishing, otherwise how can you and Xiao Luan open up your mind with the star chart?"

  Zhao Luan, who was standing beside her, pouted and said: "Mother, those merchants in the city are all using ordinary inherited star charts to open their minds. As a result, their cultivation speed is much slower than those who use human-grade inherited star charts, let alone earth-grade, heaven-grade, and the legendary ancient inherited star charts."

  After listening to Zhao Luan's words, Chu Xiu sighed and said: "My family's Luan'er has a proud heart, but the best age for opening the star chart is between 10 and 16 years old. If you exceed 16 years old, your body's acupoints will slowly become old and clogged, making it more difficult to penetrate. Your qualifications are not good enough to be accepted by those sects, and Mother doesn't want you to undergo mass spiritual awakening either... but Mother is unable to..."

  Chu Xiu's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, and Zhao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. He hastily said, "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself. Even if Big Brother had done the ordinary star chart awakening, it wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary. As long as he worked hard at his cultivation, there would still be hope for him to become stronger. Besides, fate is fate - if it's meant to be, then so be it; if not, then don't force it. Let's just go with the flow!"

  "Mother, don't be sad, I was just talking nonsense. Second brother is right, what's meant to be will be!"

  After much difficulty in persuading Chu Xiu, Zhao Shuo and Zhao Luan helped clean up the bowls and chopsticks and were then urged by Chu Xiu to leave the house.

  Zhao Luan's face showed a hint of self-blame as he said, "Second Brother, it was all my fault earlier. If not for what I said, Mother would not have felt so guilty either."

  Zhao Duo patted Zhao Luan's head and smiled, saying: "Silly girl, don't say that. Even Second Brother often thinks about getting a terrestrial or heavenly inheritance star chart to open his spiritual aperture, but we're not those ancient aristocratic families or sects, we don't have that kind of fate."

  Zhao Luan heard Zhao Shuo say this and clicked his tongue crisply, saying: "So second brother often daydreams too"

  Zhao Duo smiled slightly, but his heart was not calm. Although his memory was incomplete and he had no clear understanding of this world, Zhao Duo could also think that the star map inheritance was important for a person with ambitions to cultivate.

  In Zhao Zhuo's view, the Star Chart of Inheritance is clever and opens up spiritual apertures of varying sizes, which are also divided into levels. Even if one has a natural talent, the spiritual aperture they open will be vastly different, just like asking a genius to cultivate a lower-level secret technique - it's unlikely they'll achieve great success.

  Here is the translation:

  And here, the Star Map of Inheritance is equivalent to an existence that can change one's innate talent, and it can even be said that it is more precious than those so-called secret books. Because only by obtaining the Star Map of Inheritance and opening up the spiritual aperture, can one begin to cultivate, and will possess boundless abilities, such as overturning the seas and skies, riding on clouds and fog, grasping stars and moons, and living forever without dying is simply not a problem at all.

  After vaguely understanding these things, Zhao Xiao's heart, which was originally not very concerned, couldn't help but accelerate, and his mind couldn't help but fantasize about becoming an eternal existence one day. Especially one point that made Zhao Xiao's heart move endlessly, that is, as long as he becomes strong enough, he will definitely be able to find a way back.

  "Cicada, my cicada, even if it's for you, I'll find a way to become a strong existence, just so I can smell your scent again, see your smile, and hear your voice, even if it's just nagging..."

  Suddenly, Zhao Zhuo felt himself being pushed and came back to his senses from deep thought. Returning to reality, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. It seemed that he wasn't without desires after all; otherwise, why would he be thinking about obtaining the powerful Star Chart and actually daydreaming about it?

  "Second brother, what are you muttering about? What's with the cicada?"

  Zhao Duo awkwardly smiled and said: "Nothing"

  Zhao Luan didn't ask much more, his eyes lit up and said: "We're here!"

  Zhao Duo looked up and saw a simple courtyard appearing in front of him, with many boys of their size walking into the small courtyards one after another. Zhao Duo understood that this was probably the school.

  Relying on his memory, Zhao Zhuo walked into the academy and sat down in his own seat. Before long, every seat in the academy was filled, and an old man floated in. As he passed by Zhao Zhuo's side, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a thrill. The old man seemed to be floating lightly, like a ghost, with his feet treading on empty air, and he walked by without touching the ground.

  What a feat, although those who cultivate here will be unmatched in strength, but without seeing it, there is always an unreal feeling. However, now an old man is right in front of him, treading on the void and passing by, bringing Zhao Xiao an absolute shock to his soul, making Zhao Xiao deeply understand that this is a place of wonder.

  "It has been passed down from the ancients that the desolate ancient world was opened up by the gods of old, and the mainland was a blessed land under the heavens' gaze. The mainland is boundless, the starry sky endless, in accordance with the saying 'the heavens are round, the earth is square'..."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing. The heavens are round and the earth is square; as a master's student in astronomy, if one doesn't even understand whether this saying is right or wrong, then isn't all those years of studying books for nothing?

  He slightly shook his head and looked at his classmates with a mixture of sympathy and surprise, thinking that although the people here could become incredibly powerful through cultivation, they still didn't know that the earth was round, just like those ancient people on Earth.

  The old man standing there was interrupted by Zhao Suo's laughter, and his wise eyes fell on Zhao Suo: "Zhao Suo, why did you laugh for no reason just now? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

  Chen Tianguo, who was not on good terms with Zhao Zhuo, couldn't help but sneer: "Master, Zhao Zhuo just laughed without reason, which is quite impolite. He should be expelled from the academy to maintain discipline."

  Zhao Zhuo furrowed his brow involuntarily upon hearing this, originally the entanglement between him and Chen Tian Gui was a matter of the past Zhao Zhuo, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that Chen Tian Gui is so overbearing, actually wanting Master to expel himself from the academy, with such sinister intentions, although he also had no intention of continuing his studies further.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo looked at Fuzi and said: "Master, I, Zhao Zhuo, am not laughing without reason, nor do I show disrespect to my elders."

  The husband slightly nodded and said: "Since that's the case, tell me, why did you laugh just now?"

  "Master, don't you know that the theory of a round heaven and square earth is utterly false? Although it appears that the great earth is flat and even, in reality it is nothing but a sphere..."

  Zhao Duo was solemnly explaining, as if he wanted to lead the crowd out of confusion like a wise man. However, after listening to Zhao Duo's words, the crowd showed strange expressions on their faces. Chen Tian Gui looked at Zhao Duo with a foolish expression, then burst into loud laughter, slapping the table in front of him and saying: "Could it be that Zhao Duo's brain has gone haywire? How could he say such nonsense? Who doesn't know that the Primordial Continent is vast and boundless, with countless ancient Dao Masters falling and their remains transforming into mountains and rivers, merging into the Primordial Continent. Perhaps on other stars, the concept of 'round sky and square earth' is wrong, but in the Primordial Continent, it's a perfectly correct and profound saying."

  At this time, Zhao Zhuo felt the gaze of others looking at him like a fool, and his face was burning with fire. Oh God, this place is really not to be taken seriously, it's just that he didn't get any memories in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so much face.

  It's common sense, who doesn't know that the mistakes you're making now are like saying the earth is square in a classroom full of teachers and students.

  That thing, during the new book period, just collect and raise it, with tickets actively smashing.
