A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 169 Natal Zodiac Sign, An Unprecedented Microcosm

boom.

Rumble.

On the arena, the battle continued to escalate.

In the Holy Domain, there are quite a few people who have comprehended the Small Universe, probably dozens of whom have already comprehended it. However, comprehending the Small Universe is not the end.

Next, they have one crucial step.

That is to become a formal Saint, and only by becoming a formal Saint can one have the opportunity to continue forward.

Without the blessing of the Saint Cloth, their growth in cosmos is destined to be limited. Not to mention where they will go, they may not even be able to break through their sixth sense.

Therefore, the Sanctuary Tournament, held every three years, is something that all trainee Saints and prospective Saints are unwilling to miss.

This is their only chance to become official Saints.

On Jiang Chen's stage.

One after another, figures jumped up.

Battles continued to erupt.

Meanwhile, the other arenas were almost the same.

Time slips away quietly.

Jiang Chen was completely absorbed in it.

Until a certain moment, a certain boundary seemed to be broken in that instant.

"boom!"

Jiang Chen's mind was in turmoil, and in an instant, the entire surroundings seemed to turn into nothingness.

No, it shouldn't be called nothingness, but rather that at this moment he felt as if he were in the cosmos.

"This is?"

A soft murmur arose from his mind, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The ground beneath my feet still felt solid, but the arena was not in sight.

The void was filled with countless stars that adorned the sky, dazzling and giving an unimaginable sense of awe.

The starry sky is vast, and so is the scene before me; it has no end in sight.

On the high platform.

"Have you crossed that threshold?"

Shion's heart stirred.

He looked somewhat surprised, then a smile appeared on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a voice directly towards the distant arena.

"Atoms are the foundation of this world. From the smallest blade of grass to the largest galaxy, everything is made up of atoms."

"The biggest difference between Saints and ordinary people lies in their Cosmo! Cosmo is the source of a Saint's power."

"Legend has it that in the beginning, the universe was just a point with infinite mass, which gradually expanded after countless explosions to form..."

"From a microscopic perspective, a person, a dog, a blade of grass, even a pile of poop, a cell, are all relatively independent universes. It is said that the power of Saint Seiya comes from the explosion of these universes. By generating world-destroying power through the explosion of the universe within their bodies, they can punch through the sky and shatter the earth with their feet."

While Jiang Chen was in a state of shock amidst the void, an aged yet gentle voice arose, seemingly explaining or elaborating.

At the same time, an unseen force began to draw him and intertwine him across the entire starry sky.

Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he immediately understood what was going on. It was clearly Shion's voice, guiding him to comprehend the power of the cosmos.

Jiang Chen did not resist, and followed Shion's power to spread throughout the entire starry sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the void, with countless stars dotting the sky, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

Jiang Chen's consciousness seemed to have completely subsided into this starry sky.

Here, time and space seem to have no place.

Nothing.

Only the eternal starry sky.

"Searching for that feeling, to gather my power and create the Big Bang."

As he pondered this, Shion's gentle voice came again.

"Searching for a feeling?"

Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought, his consciousness projecting towards the entire starry sky.

Time slips away quietly.

At this moment, outside...

Jiang Chen's body was now driven only by instinct.

"boom!"

Another figure was sent flying backwards.

The sight of the figure crashing down again deterred the remaining people from taking another step forward.

Jiang Chen then sat down cross-legged.

Completely submerged in it.

at the same time.

On other arenas, the battles became increasingly fierce.

The location of Arena Number Eight.

Shaka's aura surged, and at that moment, his cosmos began to burn rapidly. Under the influence of his terrifying willpower, the various star systems within his body began to operate rapidly, and powerful energy swept through.

"boom!"

At this moment, the sky seemed to have turned pitch black.

A powerful microcosm covered the entire sky.

Behind Shaka, a phantom yet enormous constellation slowly took shape—the Virgo constellation formed from countless stars.

Even at this moment, high in the sky, beneath the dark heavens, an even larger Virgo constellation slowly appeared.

The Virgo Palace, the pinnacle of the sacred mountain.

"boom!"

At that moment, the Gold Cloth emitted a dazzling golden light that pierced through the sky, seemingly echoing the power of Shaka's cosmos.

The golden light was dazzling, obscuring most of the starry sky, gentle yet with a sharp edge that was impossible to look directly at.

On the high platform.

Seeing this scene.

Pope Shion and Alex's eyes lit up.

"Your Holiness, it seems that a Gold Saint will be born in the Sanctuary ahead of schedule."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Alex's gentle face.

For the Sanctuary, the arrival of each Gold Saint undoubtedly represents a further step forward in the Sanctuary's strength.

This is not the time for the story to begin. Even in the previous era, or even the era before that, the role of the Gold Saints was extremely important.

"Alex, there's more than one of them!"

Pope Shion chuckled softly, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the other two arenas not far away.

"More than one?"

Alex was a little confused and subconsciously followed the gaze.

Upon seeing this, his pupils widened instantly.

Because of this moment.

Another strange event occurred in the starry sky.

This time it's Saga and Aiolos.

During the battle, the inner universes of both of them also changed.

The microcosm ignites, and the constellations react, echoing each other.

Two beams of golden light, one after the other, illuminated the entire galaxy, forming a tripartite balance with the Virgo constellation.

Two golden beams of light also shot up from the Gemini and Sagittarius constellations within the sacred mountain, filling the galaxy and adding a touch of gold to the brilliance.

"Gemini, Sagittarius?"

Seeing the two extra rays of light, Alex's surprise and delight grew even stronger.

Virgo.

Gemini.

Sagittarius is undoubtedly one of the most powerful Gold Saints among the twelve Gold Saints.

At this moment, all three top-tier Gold Cloths responded.

This means that in the near future, the Sanctuary will once again give birth to three Gold Saints.

Three of them, these are three Gold Saints.

The significance of this for the Holy Land will be unimaginable.

And Alex was excited.

Shion's gaze swept over the other people on the other arenas before settling on Jiang Chen.

"Is it impossible to ignite the brilliance of Libra?"

Shion muttered to himself, then shook his head.

Also originating from China, Shion thought Jiang Chen could draw upon the light of Libra.

Even though the Libra Cloth is not in the Sanctuary at this moment.

However, simply triggering it is enough.

It's unclear whether it was because Jiang Chen had only just begun to comprehend the microcosm, or for some other reason, but Jiang Chen did not activate the light of Libra as he had expected.

Of course, Shion simply shook his head at this, not paying much attention. There were still more than a decade until the Holy War.

There is still enough time for the Saints to continue to grow.

There's no rush right now.

With three Gold Saints about to be born, that's enough for the Sanctuary now.

However, just as he shook his head...

"Huh!"

Seemingly sensing something, Shion couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Their gazes instantly turned to Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, on the arena...

Jiang Chen kept his eyes closed.

However, at this moment, his entire being had changed.

At that moment, everything around him seemed to turn into nothingness.

His mind was completely absorbed in it.

Shion's words kept echoing in his mind.

Meanwhile, a tremendous change was beginning to take place within him.

First, an origin point appeared.

Subsequently, a substance composed of homogeneous and isotropic high-density, high-temperature, and high-pressure materials appeared, and these materials began to expand and cool very rapidly the moment they appeared.

It eventually exploded during the rapid expansion and cooling process.

"boom!"

A terrifying roar exploded within his body.

The terrifying explosion caused a rapid drop in temperature and density. As the temperature decreased and the atmosphere cooled, atoms, atomic nuclei, and molecules gradually formed and combined to form ordinary gases. These gases gradually condensed into nebulae, which in turn formed various stars and galaxies.

Jiang Chen's consciousness began to rise rapidly at this moment.

At this moment, a brand new power began to emerge within his body.

That is the power of the microcosm.

The cultivation of the microcosm is generally divided into two stages.

One stage involves a scenario where a Big Bang occurs within the body, allowing one to create a microcosm within oneself.

Having completed this step, one has essentially grasped the essence of the cosmos and can become a prospective Saint.

To become a formal Saint, the next step is to transform one's own cosmos into unique constellation power.

Build your own microcosm with the power of constellations, thereby awakening your sixth sense.

Once this step is completed, one can be called a formal Saint.

At this moment, Jiang Chen has completed the first step; the microcosm within his body has been born.

He can stop now, or he can continue to contemplate the microcosm and condense his own constellation.

You can follow your own senses to find out which zodiac sign is most suitable for you.

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Jiang Chen's thoughts were racing as he pondered which option to choose.

Since he had to choose a zodiac sign, he would naturally choose one of the twelve Gold Signs.

Although bronze is the mainstream in the original work, that is an exception, not the norm. The real representatives of the strong are the twelve gold medalists, as you can see from the Locket of the Lich King.

Thoughts wander.

Perception is spreading.

Try to see which zodiac sign is most compatible with him.

Although he has his own considerations, he will try to choose the option with the highest compatibility.

After all, only with a high enough affinity can one's inner strength be enhanced more rapidly.

Conversely, there is not enough affinity.

Not only will they not gain the approval of the Saint Cloth, but their Cosmo will also not improve too quickly.

It was only within his perception.

The next moment, however, his expression became slightly dazed.

"This is?"

A strange look appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.

Meanwhile, the outside world...

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

Within the Aries Palace, a golden light shot straight upwards.

The sky, which had just begun to recover, darkened at this moment, and a brand new constellation appeared.

"How could that be?"

"Aries?"

Alex's eyes widened, his expression one of disbelief.

Aries has always been the constellation of the people of Mu Continent, yet it has now appeared on someone who is not a citizen of Mu Continent.

At that moment, he couldn't help but lose his voice.

But Shion remained silent at that moment.

He glanced at Jiang Chen, then at the Twelve Palaces of Gold.

And in the midst of his gaze.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

In the Taurus constellation, a beam of light also shot straight into the sky, and the phantom of the constellation Taurus appeared in the firmament.

"Taurus?"

Alex's eyes widened again at this moment, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide.

His expression couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

However, this is not the end.

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

The twelve houses of the zodiac.

Twelve beams of light, starting from Aries, shot into the sky one after another.

Above the heavens, the twelve zodiac constellations were directly obscured in the vast emptiness of the night sky.

It is dazzling and dreamlike.

Alex stared blankly at all of this.

Shion was also unable to remain calm at this moment.

This is the zodiac.

The twelve Gold Cloths.

At this moment, someone actually activated the twelve golden holy armors.

Even in the recorded history of the Holy Land, it seems that such a thing has never happened before.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The Sanctuary trembled violently, the golden light of the twelve palaces intertwined, and a new palace seemed to be faintly visible in the sky. In the sky, a brand new constellation also seemed to be about to appear.

But no one noticed at that moment.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the sky.

Looking at the twelve zodiac signs that shimmer with twelve rays of light.

Even Shion couldn't help but feel his lips were a little dry.

She subconsciously pursed her lips.

His gaze then instantly fixed on Jiang Chen, and an unprecedented look of joy appeared on his face.

Even if he didn't understand what resonating with the zodiac meant.

But Shion knew that Jiang Chen could become any one of the Gold Saints.

In every Holy War, the Gold Saints have almost never been at full strength, but this time it seems possible.

Shion was excited.

The others were undoubtedly completely overwhelmed with shock.

A faraway place.
