Finally.
As the sun once again set and darkness enveloped the land, the time had come to 11 p.m. on February 17th.
Quite abruptly.
“Hm?” Li Yuan suddenly felt the entire Perfect Star Vein dim, and the clearly sensed Life Stars suddenly became obscured.
“Gone?” Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.
In an instant, Li Yuan realized that it wasn’t that he couldn’t continue cultivating Star Techniques, but rather… the Earth Origin Crystal was completely exhausted.
“This!!!”
“All gone?” Li Yuan felt distressed.
Because he had already imprinted more than eighty thousand Life Stars… and there was only about one-third left to completely imprint the entire Star.
This feeling was like having to pull up your trousers in the middle of… a necessary act.
He took a deep breath.
“According to what Senior Bai Shan said, the Earth Origin Crystal he gave me was quite plentiful, making it easy for me to cultivate the Star Technique to Second Rank Perfection,” Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, “In the end, I’ve used it all up, and I haven’t even reached perfection in the First Layer Star Technique… let alone start on the Second Layer imprinting.” Read new adventures at M-V-L
Star Techniques, according to the foundational cultivation requirements, could be divided into First Layer Star Technique, Second Layer Star Technique… all the way to the legendary Ninefold Star Technique, which is also known as the Supreme Star Technique.
For example, the ‘Myriad Gold Divine Body’ that Senior Dongfang Ji cultivated was a Seventh Layer Star Technique.
Similarly, as far as Li Yuan knew, the two major Star Techniques cultivated by the assailant ‘Shadow’ of the Flying Heaven Level, should both be Fourth Layer Star Techniques.
However, they were extremely rare.
Also, all Star Techniques, whether a First Layer Star Technique or a Ninefold Star Technique, are divided from low to high into First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank… according to the depth of cultivation.
“That’s true.”
“According to what Senior Bai Shan indicated, I should be cultivating the ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein’ with either a Second Layer or Third Layer Star Vein,” Li Yuan thought to himself, “In this case, even if I cultivated to the Second Rank, it would only be imprinting three or four ten thousand Life Stars twice.”
But in reality? Li Yuan had an entire Perfect Star Vein that needed imprinting.
“Well, I will have to find another way,” Li Yuan shook his head silently.
He couldn’t possibly go to Star Lord Bai Shan or Fang Hai right away to tell them that his Earth Origin Crystal was used up… at least, not until he attained Prime Warrior status.
Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.
Suddenly, Li Yuan was stunned, his pupils dilated: “How is this possible! Ninefold Star Technique? This!!”
“According to what Senior Bai Shan said, isn’t the ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein’ supposed to not have a specific grade?” Li Yuan was already feeling a storm of shock inside.
Because, after a night of Star Technique cultivation, a special change had appeared on his Divine Palace panel:
…
[Life Level: 19.7 (First Rank)]
Fist Strength: 64,100 kilograms
Speed: 111.1 meters/second
Spiritual Power: 30.4
Willpower: 32
Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)
Star Meridian: Level 11 (Cultivation efficiency 10+0.5)
Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 33%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 33%), Fist Technique (Perfection)
Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein’ (First Rank, Level 6/6)
[Note: When Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, Spiritual Guidance will be received again]
…
“Star Lord Bai Shan gifted me with a Ninefold Star Technique? A Supreme Star Technique?” Li Yuan’s mind was somewhat bewildered for a moment.
This was something he had never dared to imagine.
After all, this was a Star Technique that Star Lord Bai Shan seemed to have given casually, giving the impression that it wouldn’t be very precious.
However, if someone else said that the ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein’ was a Ninefold Star Technique, Li Yuan might not believe them.
But now, the one pointing this out…
Was the Divine Palace panel!!
“The Mind Spirit Divine Palace has never been wrong, whether it’s the Visualization Method, Origin Power entering the body, Spiritual Guidance, or the Palace’s Inquiry… all have proven its miraculous and terrifying nature,” Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind: “The Divine Palace panel possesses an unbelievable scouting function.”
“I’ve probably been under its monitoring and perception while I cultivated the ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.’
“The fact that Star Lord Bai Shan couldn’t discern the specific grade of this Star Technique doesn’t mean the Divine Palace panel can’t,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Over time,
Li Yuan had long since convinced himself that the marvels of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace were far beyond the understanding of the high ranks of human civilization among the Seven Stars… its power was undeniable.
“A Ninefold Star Technique?” Li Yuan’s heart was trembling.
One must know, over the course of hundreds of years, amidst the many wars waged by the Seven Stars human civilization across various Star Realms, only a few very incomplete Ninefold Star Techniques had been obtained… but so far, no one had been able to cultivate a Ninefold Star Technique, and they could only be stored away.
“That’s not right.”
“Star Lord Bai Shan was able to support my cultivation of the ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,’ and before that, he must have also helped Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods to cultivate it…”
“Even if this Star Technique is incomplete, with only the methods for the first two ranks of Star Mark cultivation, at most it can only be cultivated to the Second Rank.”
“But as a Ninefold Star Technique, once cultivated to the Second Rank, the power should be comparable to ordinary Star Techniques cultivated to the Third or even Fourth Rank,” Li Yuan wondered.
There’s a reason why they are called Supreme Star Techniques.
According to Principal Fang Hai,
in the legends of some powerful Foreign Civilizations, the most inconceivable strong warriors of the Flying Heaven Level deploying a Ninefold Star Technique, even without cultivating it to a profound level… the terror of its power would crush many Demigods using Fifth Layers Star Techniques.
This is also an important reason why the freakishly powerful among the Flying Heaven Level can slay Demigods.
But why couldn’t Star Lord Bai Shan and others discover it?
“There’s only one possibility.”
There was a gleam in Li Yuan’s eyes: “This ‘True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,’ though a Ninefold Star Technique, has a very low threshold to entry, and cultivating it with a Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Vein can also produce certain effects.”
“It’s just that the effects aren’t so noticeable.”
“Only by cultivating with a Nine Layers Star Vein, and imprinting more than 116,640 Life Stars… can this Star Technique fully unveil the brilliance it ought to have,” Li Yuan boldly speculated.
