Time trickled away, second by second.
By the time it was past midnight, Li Yuan’s consciousness gradually became clearer, and he was aware of the extraordinary changes happening to himself.
In silent perception, his heart was also filled with shock.
“Life Star!”
“The so-called spiritual guidance of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace actually directly guided me to brand stars within my life? To light up my Life Star?” Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed, “That’s not all, it has unwittingly guided me to form a stellar circuit within my body! Creating the embryo of a cultivation technique?”
This was truly inconceivable.
After all, in Li Yuan’s understanding, one must become a level 20 Prime Warrior to truly practice Origin Power Techniques and form a Life Star circuit within the body.
Only upon reaching level 20 could the body automatically absorb external Origin Power.
As for what’s known as ‘Spiritual Awakening’ in human civilization, those ordinary people and First Rank Martial Artists can only lightly stimulate the Life Star through specific postures, briefly absorbing Origin Power each day to improve their Physical Quality.
But in reality, the effect was much weaker compared to a Martial Artist, merely equivalent to one-tenth of a Prime Warrior’s.
Keep in mind, many ordinary Martial Artists rely on High Rank Cultivation Methods, and after twenty years of training, their Physical Quality would be at best levels 15 or 16. On average, their Fist Strength improves by only a few hundred kilograms each year.
For Prime Warriors, as long as their skills are up to standard, improving their Physical Quality by half a level each year is not difficult, and their Fist Strength increases by at least tens of thousands of kilograms.
One can imagine the gap between the two.
To a great extent, this is the intrinsic difference in how the cultivation techniques operate.
“As for me?”
“Before today’s Spiritual Nature entered my body, I was clearly only level 14,” Li Yuan looked at the Divine Palace panel.
——
[Life Level: 14.2 (First Rank)]
Fist Strength: 9022 kilograms
Speed: 43.9 meters/second
Spiritual Power: Level 23.0
Willpower: Level 29
Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current limit 25%)
Star Meridian: Level 10
Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 93%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 86%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 93%)
…
“Just in these few hours, my Life Level has increased by 0.2?” Li Yuan inwardly sighed, “Admittedly, the effects are outstanding because it’s my first time practicing.”
“But it’s enough to show, once one begins to practice the Origin Power Technique, just how terrifying the effects can be.”
With a bit of analysis, Li Yuan had already understood.
He had created the embryo of a cultivation technique and successfully practiced and operated it.
What came next,
Should he practice with all his might, even without relying on any treasures, the speed of his body’s evolution would far surpass geniuses like Yang Hong and Wu Luo.
Because now!
As for Li Yuan, his practice speed, fundamentally speaking, was that of a ‘Prime Warrior’ who had initially succeeded in Law Creation.
If he continued to use treasures like the Hundred Marrow Dry, High Origin Spirit Spring, Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, and others,
He would progress even faster.
“There’s over a 90% chance,”
“I will become a Prime Warrior before my sophomore year,” Li Yuan analyzed and came to an astonishing conclusion, “Even if the effects of the self-created cultivation technique aren’t as good as I imagined, by the age of 19, I will become a Prime Warrior.”
The age of 19, meaning before September 2044.
By that time, it wouldn’t be too long after Li Yuan entered his sophomore year, and it was less than a year away from now.
The thought of such a rate of progress made Li Yuan himself find it exaggerated.
Teacher Li had said before,
If onespiritual subtility is reached and coupled with the school’s abundant resources for cultivation, there was hope for becoming a Prime Warrior before the end of his sophomore year.
Now what?
After the spiritual guidance, with the emergence of the cultivation technique embryo, the efficiency of cultivation had increased more than twofold!!
What’s most crucial was that it didn’t require the consumption of any cultivation resources.
As he pondered,
“Willpower at level 29?” Li Yuan also noticed some changes on the Divine Palace panel.
Two new items appeared: Willpower and Star Meridian.
Willpower, Li Yuan understood.
A level 29 Willpower meant that Li Yuan’s will was strong enough to match many Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.
“But Star Meridian at level 10? What does that mean?” Li Yuan wondered.
From the name, as well as the changes brought about by today’s spiritual guidance, Li Yuan could only think of one thing.
Life Star!
“Today, the changes in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace are too great,” Li Yuan shook his head lightly. “To understand it clearly, maybe I need to first check out the high-level cultivation methods of human civilization and some creative experience from past generations.”
With Li Yuan’s current access, it was easy for him to view high-level cultivation methods and some materials on self-created cultivation techniques.
However,
Li Yuan’s subconscious had always assumed that he had to wait until level 20 to start creating techniques, which is why he hadn’t paid special attention until now.
…
Not long after,
Hum~ A light screen projection formed in front of Li Yuan, within the projection appeared the image of a book with a dazzling star on its cover, set against the backdrop of an endless starry sky.
“‘A Brief Overview of Life Star Awakening,’ written by Dongfang Ji?” Li Yuan murmured to himself.
When he just now perused the Starfire Martial Hall’s database on ‘Law Creation’,
he found that many materials mentioned this article, classified under ‘Essential Reading for Law Creation.’
Li Yuan immediately decided to read it first.
…
“The human body is like the universe, containing great secrets, with countless stars within… These stars are not actual stars, but a product of life evolution and the combination of the mind and spirit.”
“The vast majority of these internal stars are Dead Stars, with only a rare few being Life Stars.”
“The number of Life Stars, in a certain sense, is an indication of one’s body talent and Origin Power growth talent,” Li Yuan reflected, which was nearly identical to what Dean Hai had described.
“From level 10 to 19, our bodies gradually become robust, nurturing more powerful Life Stars within until becoming a level 20, that is, a Second Rank Life.”
“Becoming a Second Rank Life, when the body and spirit are strong to a certain degree, the mind can sense the ‘Life Star Space.’ This Life Star Space, while called a space, is actually a product of countless internal stars combined with the mind and spirit.”
“If one’s spiritual power is strong, one can sense it in advance.”
“The space of Life Stars doesn’t contain actual objects and isn’t a real space, yet it truly exists.”
“What is known as Law Creation, is to gradually imprint and light up the stars in the space of Life Stars. However, the space of Life Stars is dim, and if the spirit isn’t strong enough…”
“The space of Life Stars?” Li Yuan understood immediately.
The mysterious dark space he had entered three times before was clearly the ‘space of Life Stars’ formed by the reflection of countless Life Stars within his body, merged with his world of the mind.
Illusory, yet real.
When one’s consciousness is in the space of Life Stars, it essentially amounts to the mind trying to sense the Life Stars throughout the body.
“Normally speaking, although my spiritual power is strong, my body isn’t strong enough.”
“So, even if I enter the space of Life Stars, I shouldn’t be able to sense the Life Stars. At most, I would light up a few,” Li Yuan understood much already.
“It must be those strands of purple airflow that floated over halfway. It should be the mysterious power contained in the ‘Spiritual Guidance’.” Li Yuan quickly deduced in his mind and roughly understood the whole process.
Ordinary people creating Laws.
Must laboriously try each star in the space of Life Stars, and if the imprint fails, not only does it damage the spiritual consciousness, but it also backlashes against the physical body.
What about himself?
With Spiritual Guidance, he was able to transform his consciousness into countless thoughts within an extremely short period, successfully merging with numerous Life Stars.
…
Li Yuan continued to read on, and the section below was about introducing cultivation techniques.
“Life Stars are not without patterns.”
“With billions of stars within the body, there are countless stellar trajectories.”
“A single Life Star, if imprinted upon, can only absorb a very small amount of Origin Power.”
“Only when a sufficient number of Life Stars are awakened within the body, meeting the preliminary requirements of revolving 12,960 on a Star Meridian, can a preliminary internal circulation form, making the speed at which Origin Power is absorbed surge.”
“This is the embryonic form of a cultivation technique.”
“Star trajectories form lines, and the circulation never ceases. Once it operates, from an external perception, it’s like what the ancients called ‘Meridians,’ hence it can be called ‘Star Meridian.'”
“The minimum requirement for successful Law Creation is for a Star Meridian to achieve preliminary circulation.”
Li Yuan was amazed in his heart.
It turns out.
Human civilization had already reached such an understanding of Star Meridians, Law Creation, and such.
…
“The human body has a massive amount of Life Stars. Although limited by our skills, spiritual power, and many other aspects, we can only sense a part of the Life Stars.”
“If all Life Stars are awakened, any person can cultivate four or five, or even seven or eight Star Meridians…”
“The more Star Meridians formed within the body, and the more Life Stars awakened on each Star Meridian, the higher the efficiency of cultivating Origin Power.”
“To become a Flying Heaven Warrior from a Prime Warrior, at least three Star Meridians must be formed within the body.”
“Bodies are different, but many Life Stars have commonalities.”
“So-called high-rank cultivation techniques, once matched, can enable a Prime Warrior to initially awaken three Star Meridians.”
“For the awakened Life Stars to form Star Meridians, at least 12,960 must be awakened; at most, 129,600 Life Stars must be awakened. 129,600 Life Stars is a complete Star Meridian… extremely difficult. Even though there are traces to follow for Star Meridians, finding more than 100,000 Life Stars on one within the body is almost inconceivable. At least no one in our human civilization has done it.”
“And the total number of awakened Star Meridians varies from person to person.”
“Our human has a Martial Artist who formed six Star Meridians within his body. Although the awakening level of each Star Meridian is not high… his cultivation efficiency and physical foundation were also astonishingly strong.”
…
A Brief Description of Life Star Awakening appears to be an article.
But the content it covers is very complex.
Li Yuan kept reading, and he now had a sufficient understanding of Life Stars, Law Creation.
“The number of Star Meridians? The awakening level of each Star Meridian?” Li Yuan mused, “So that means, the higher-grade cultivation techniques from the powerful families that Dean Hai mentioned, could they be the ones that allow for awakening more Star Meridians?”
He closed the light screen.
Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes, with a thought, he immediately encompassed his entire body.
Sensing the dimly lit Life Stars in every corner of his body.
“A 25% Spiritual Awakening Level brings the Spiritual Guidance it carries.”
“It seems that I have only awakened one Star Meridian,” Li Yuan sensed carefully, “Just don’t know how many Life Stars have been awakened on this Star Meridian.”
After a moment of sensing.
Li Yuan was suddenly startled.
Because with a slight inner perception of his soul, he discovered that on this one Star Meridian within his body… there were precisely 129,600 points of Life Star light.
Exactly the ‘complete Star Meridian’ mentioned in A Brief Description of Life Star Awakening by Dongfang Ji.
“Which means.”
“Although I’ve only awakened one Star Meridian, have I left my marker on all the Life Stars on this Star Meridian? Without missing a single one?” Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.
After all, this was something not even Dongfang Ji could accomplish, something unheard of in all human civilization.
“A completely perfect Star Meridian.”
“Compared to a normal Prime Warrior cultivating with high-rank techniques and forming three incomplete Star Meridians, whose cultivation efficiency would be higher?” A thought involuntarily surfaced in Li Yuan’s mind.
He didn’t know.
After all, Li Yuan could only see his own ‘Star Meridian Level’ on the Divine Palace panel.
He couldn’t see other people’s Star Meridian Levels.
“According to Senior Dongfang Ji, if I want to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, just awakening one Star Meridian isn’t enough; I need to awaken at least three,” he mused, “Meaning, I still have to continue with Law Creation.”
“Unless my Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 50%, which grants a second Spiritual Guidance, perhaps there will be another major help.”
“Otherwise, awakening other Star Meridians can only rely on myself.” He thought quietly, without panic.
At the very least, the Spiritual Guidance had already laid the most solid foundation for creating a Law, having solved the problem from 0 to 1, making it not difficult to at least achieve Level 29 Prime Warrior in the future.
…
“The matter of my Spiritual Awakening, and the fact that I’ve created the embryonic form of a cultivation technique, must be kept secret,” Li Yuan mused.
Whether it’s awakening Star Meridians at Level 14 and the circulation of techniques.
Or a completely awakened Star Meridian, both implications are too significant.
Such events are unprecedented in the history of human civilization.
“Keep it a secret for now.”
Star Meridians are difficult to detect by others when not cultivating.
“What I need to do now is to use this complete ‘Star Meridian’ to go all out in my cultivation and become a Level 15 Warrior and even a Prime Warrior as quickly as possible,” Li Yuan was full of anticipation.
“At the earliest, I could reach Level 15 next month, meeting the minimum requirements to venture into the Star Realm.”
