The difference was that I had enough talent initially, so the Martial Hall and the country cultivated me for free.
Whereas my brother and sister showed insufficient talent and had to spend their own money.
“For my brother and sister’s situation, I’ll handle it through the Martial Hall,” Li Yuan said with a smile. “But for my uncle and aunt’s matter, I’m relying on the teacher.”
“No problem, I’ll send two teams to Jiang City to get your uncle and aunt a thorough check-up first,” Li Yang said with a smile.
Such a task was very simple for him.
“Teacher, you should use this Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit as soon as possible,” Li Yuan said as he handed over the fruit, smiling. “Why not consume it here?”
“The longer we delay, the less effective it will be.”
“This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit has already been picked for more than ten days,” Li Yuan said.
…
Eventually, under Li Yuan’s earnest persuasion,
Li Yang accepted Li Yuan’s suggestion—to consume it on the spot.
For treasures like this, once you decide to use them, it’s best to ‘get it down for peace of mind.’
Hu!
Li Yang went to a nearby rest room in the base, while Li Yuan sat in the meeting room with closed eyes, resting and recuperating.
“Li Yuan.” Shi Xiao approached the door.
“What’s up?” Li Yuan opened his eyes and smiled.
“Teacher Li said he’s going into closed cultivation and asked us to wait for four or five hours,” Shi Xiao said with a smile. “Why don’t we go out and stroll around the city? It’s not far from Golden Dragon City, and it will take only twenty minutes by flying vehicle.”
“It’s been a long time since I strolled around the city.”
“I’ll pass, sister. Why don’t you go and wander around by yourself?” Li Yuan said with a smile. “Later, when we take the flying vehicle, I won’t be able to cultivate.”
“I’m also getting ready to cultivate,” he added.
Soon after.
Li Yuan, carrying his weapon case and backpack, went to a rest room, leaving behind a bewildered Shi Xiao.
“What, is everyone a cultivation maniac?” Shi Xiao muttered, then sighed in secret, “Perhaps, this is the reason for Li Yuan’s rapid advancement in strength.”
Shi Xiao did not go out to the city.
Strolling around alone? She wasn’t into that.
…
Inside this rest room,
“First, practice the ‘Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,'” Li Yuan said as he sat cross-legged and gently closed his eyes.
Practicing the “Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture” and “All Heavens’ Stars” was an essential daily lesson for Li Yuan.
After his exchange with Li Yang just now, Li Yuan became more aware of the terrifying aspects of the Visualization Method.
The growth of spiritual power is extremely difficult.
“Without the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, my spiritual power would never have improved this fast, let alone shattered the shackles from Second Rank to Third Rank so soon,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Hum~
With a thought, his consciousness descended into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and immediately, he felt the presence of the Great Sun Jade Platform.
…It was a vast, boundless expanse of stars and space, with a great sun illuminating the endless night sky.
Hu! As if appearing out of thin air, Li Yuan’s consciousness felt the presence of the sun.
“It expanded again?” Li Yuan frowned, feeling the great sun in front of him, much more terrifying than before the abnormality.
The last time there was an abnormality, his spiritual power broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, and only then could Li Yuan suppress the rebellious Great Sun’s pride.
But soon after, Li Yuan realized he hadn’t solved the fundamental problem.
As long as his consciousness left the Great Sun Jade Platform, with the passage of time, the sun within the platform would gradually expand and rebel.
He had to suppress it every once in a while.
If he ignored it, before long, the light from the great sun would burst out of the Jade Platform and affect the entire spiritual world.
“Suppress.”
“It’s also cultivation,” Li Yuan thought, as he rotated the “Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture” in his mind, and immediately his consciousness dispersed, sensing the vast and boundless Great Sun starry sky… Hot! Painful!
Endless pain swept over Li Yuan’s consciousness at once.
“Hold on.”
“To undergo three thousand calamities is to temper, to sharpen my spirit and will,” Li Yuan gritted his teeth enduring, striving to calm his heart.

This level of pain was no less than when the spirit dried up in agony. In some respects, it was even more intense.
Because the spirit-drying agony only lasted a moment, whereas suppressing the Great Sun stars was Li Yuan’s daily necessary lesson, lasting at least an hour each day.
Fortunately.
Li Yuan’s spiritual power and willpower were now much stronger than before, and there wasn’t even a trace of pain on his face.
In fact, Li Yuan only needed to suppress the Great Sun for half an hour every two or three days to prevent its upheaval from affecting the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.
However, even though he suppressed the proud sun to the extreme every time, Li Yuan still continued to endure this grinding voluntarily.
“Although painful, it can make my willpower increasingly strong.”
“If I don’t actively strive to cultivate, then, when the next crisis, hidden within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, erupts… I might not be able to withstand it,” thought Li Yuan, also feeling a sense of crisis deep in his heart.
What would happen if he couldn’t withstand it? No one could predict!
Li Yuan knew too little about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.
“All I can do is try to make myself stronger,” Li Yuan silently vowed: “Strive with all my might to become stronger.”
Whoosh~
Whoosh~ Accompanied by waves of pain sweeping through, the Visualization Method operated, and strands of starlight shone down, nourishing Li Yuan’s spiritual power.
Half an hour later.
“[Your spiritual power has increased from level 30.1 to level 30.2]” a Divine Palace prompt suddenly flashed by.
Ever since his spiritual power transformed to the Flying Heaven Level, leveling up had become much slower.
Li Yuan was still in quiet cultivation.
…
While Li Yang and Li Yuan were successively in seclusion at this military base and not hurriedly returning to Kunlun Martial University.
Kunlun Martial University, Vermilion Bird Tower.
Right above.
In the thousand-meter-high sky, a large flying saucer-shaped aircraft hovered, over thirty meters in height and more than a hundred meters in diameter.
The entire aircraft was capable of complete optical invisibility.
Throughout Kunlun Martial University, aside from the eight Flying Heaven Level deans and the two vice-chancellors, nobody else… including the ordinary teachers and associate deans, was aware of this aircraft’s existence.
And it was precisely the personal vehicle and ‘office’ of the president of Kunlun Martial University.
As a result, the president was extremely mysterious in the eyes of many teachers and students.
He didn’t even have an office.
Inside the aircraft, the Quiet Cultivation Room, filled with a sci-fi vibe, was entirely built of metal.
A black-robed youth was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.
He was two meters above the ground, with an intangible force spreading out from him. Streams of water were born out of nowhere, circulating around him. The surface of the water shimmered with strands of blue light, making his whole presence as vast as the ocean.
Suddenly.
“Master, Star Lord Bai Shan is calling for you,” the voice of the assistant AI sounded.
The black-robed youth slowly opened his eyes and said flatly, “Answer.”
Drip~
Numerous rays of light shot out, forming a massive holographic projection in front of the black-robed youth.
Within the projection appeared an old man dressed in white casual clothes.
“Elder Bai,” the black-robed youth said with a faint smile.
“Fang Hai, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Are you cultivating again?” the old man in white casual clothes laughed: “I was playing with my great-grandson just now and didn’t see your call, sorry about that.”
“It doesn’t matter, elder. That your family is harmonious is a fortunate thing,” Fang Hai replied with a faint smile.
He was well aware of the standing of this elder in white casual clothes, the first person in Xia Country’s history to surpass the Flying Heaven Level.
Even today, he remained one of Xia Country’s Seas Calming Divine Needles.
Both his mentor, Dongfang Ji, and he himself had received guidance from this man.
Among the many Star Masters of the Seven Star Alliance, Bai Shan’s status was extremely high.
“I’ve seen the message you just sent me,” Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile: “This young fellow named Li Yuan is indeed worthy of cultivation… Let’s assign him the Second Class position in this year’s Xia Country’s Martial God Inheritance.”
“As for First Class… that’s going to depend on your mentor’s attitude. It’s better for you to speak to him than for me,” Star Lord Bai Shan said with a chuckle.
The Martial God Inheritance positions were also graded, from the highest Special Rank down to the most ordinary Third Class, and the difference was substantial.
For example, the top three of the global collegiate Martial Path competition only received Third Class positions.
Is a Second Class or First Class position sought? It doesn’t just depend on present strength, but the top brass has to judge potential as well.
Xia Country, as Blue Star’s most powerful nation and the homeland of Dongfang Ji, has very high authority… every year, it can directly nominate a Second Class position.
That is one of the two exclusive privilege positions only given by the Seven Star Alliance.
“Ask my teacher?” Fang Hai shook his head: “Elder Bai, you know my teacher’s temperament. He values Xia Country, but he never favors any one person from Xia Country… He treats all people of the Seven Stars equally.”
“For now, a Second Class position is already very good.”
