Chapter 308: New Perfect Star Veins! Secret Cultivation (Bonus 27)

Whoosh~ Li Yuan's consciousness condensed, easily passing the spiritual pressure of the white jade steps from the first layer to the second layer.

He arrived at the second layer of the Heart Palace.

The second layer didn't change much compared to before; there was only that jade platform.

But in the hall, quite a bit of golden mist was floating.

"The first spiritual guidance was when the degree of spiritual awakening reached 25%, so there was no Source Power entering the body, and thus no golden mist." Li Yuan thought secretly: "But the second spiritual guidance is opened when the degree of spiritual awakening reaches 50%. Does it overlap with Source Power entering the body?"

So much time had passed.

Li Yuan knew more and more about the Heart Palace, and many previous guesses had been confirmed.

The degree of spiritual awakening, every time it increases by 10%, golden mist will be born; this is the source of power for Source Power entering the body.

Spiritual guidance appears once every 25% increase, guiding in the Life Star space.

"Unfortunately, there is no way to use this golden mist to improve physical fitness for the time being." Li Yuan thought secretly.

After spiritual power broke through to Level 37 and he felt the strange changes in the Heart Palace, Li Yuan had tried it slightly... Source Power could no longer be integrated into the flesh, nor could it be integrated into the Source Power Sea.

Because Li Yuan had not yet condensed a Source Pill.

"If I don't actively step into Level 30, my physical fitness has reached a limit; no amount of golden mist can make my physical fitness improve." Li Yuan thought secretly: "This time, Source Power entering the body can only be left aside for now."

"Unfortunately, this golden mist also has no way to make spiritual power grow independently."

Source Power entering the body four times before.

The golden mist could help the body transform, and could also help spiritual power grow... And this time, Li Yuan also tried to integrate the golden mist into his consciousness body, attempting to help spiritual power transform.

The result was that it could not succeed.

"Source Power entering the body, improving physical fitness is the core; the golden mist integrating into consciousness... is just incidental spiritual power growth." Li Yuan confirmed this point.

Break through to the Flying level? Li Yuan wouldn't do it.

He had been a Source Martial Artist for less than two years and was far from awakening his Star Veins to the limit, so Li Yuan naturally wouldn't break through.

"My goal is to reach Eight Star Veins at the Source Martial Artist stage." Li Yuan thought secretly.

The longer he cultivated, the more Li Yuan realized the difficulty of Star Vein awakening; the further back he went, the more exponential the difficulty became.

But Li Yuan never gave up on the goal of Eight Star Veins.

"Hum~"

While thinking, Li Yuan's consciousness condensed on the jade platform on the second layer of the Heart Palace.

This jade platform had only been successfully used once during the first spiritual guidance.

Ever since, no matter how Li Yuan tried, there was no reaction.

And today.

"Boom!" When Li Yuan's consciousness condensed on the jade platform, he only felt that this jade platform seemed to have an invisible suction force, quickly sucking his consciousness into it.

Li Yuan couldn't stop this process, or rather, he was going with the flow.

A few seconds later.

The scene around Li Yuan's consciousness shifted, and he was already placed within the endless, gloomy starry sky. In the void far away, there were a vast number of twinkling stars... It was precisely the Life Star Space that Li Yuan had visited countless times.

And today, the situation was clearly different from usual.

"Five Star Veins." Li Yuan could easily sense the five Star Veins in this vast space, each formed by tens of thousands of Life Stars in a complete trajectory... and a large number of scattered Life Stars that did not form a system.

This was the result of Li Yuan's independent cultivation and creation of arts over several years.

"I hope that with the help of the second spiritual guidance, I can go a step further." Li Yuan was quite expectant in his heart.

His heart was calm, and he had already triggered a wonderful change in the Heart Palace.

Time passed.

Gradually.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the vast Life Star space, strands of purple airflow emitting strange light appeared silently.

These airflows appeared from the extreme depths of the Life Star space, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed the vast space and drifted toward Li Yuan's consciousness body.

"It's here." Li Yuan's spiritual power was far stronger than during the first spiritual guidance, and he sensed these purple airflows.

At the same time, he also felt the vitality and vigor contained in these purple airflows.

Very mysterious.

Much clearer than the sensing during the first spiritual guidance, Li Yuan waited patiently.

More than ten seconds later.

"Hum~" The first strand of purple airflow integrated silently into Li Yuan's consciousness body, perfectly combining with each other.

In an instant!

"Hm?" Li Yuan only felt his consciousness body's field of vision begin to improve rapidly: "I've changed?"

It was as if the lens had shrunk rapidly, yet it was even clearer.

This state was very strange, yet real.

"Five Star Veins!"

"Life Stars!"

"Endless stars." Li Yuan's 'horizon' finally stabilized.

At this moment, blessed by the purple mist, Li Yuan's field of vision was completely pulled to the peak, as if he could overlook the entire Life Star space, possessing the feeling of controlling everything.

One star after another, endless!

These countless stars were all sleeping; whether they were dead stars or unawakened Life Stars... they were all under Li Yuan's perception and observation.

"My perception ability seems to have grown by another notch compared to the first spiritual guidance." Li Yuan realized in his heart.

Last time, he could only observe most of the dark space.

This time, he could vaguely peek at the whole picture.

"Those are the unawakened Life Stars." In this strange state, Li Yuan could feel the extremely rare exceptions among the billions of dead stars.

Life Stars were extremely rare.

The body is like the universe, with billions of dead stars... Awakening Life Stars is like panning for gold in a sea of sand; normally speaking, it is extremely difficult, and a slight carelessness will lead to a backlash against oneself.

Therefore, even for those peerless geniuses, awakening Star Veins is extremely difficult and very slow.

At this time.

"Seek dust and find the micro, combine two into one..." That vast and ethereal voice sounded abruptly; Li Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

With a realm far surpassing the past, listening again, Li Yuan could feel the mystery of this kind of sound, which could be called the 'Sound of the Great Dao'.

It contained strange power, guiding Li Yuan.

"Follow the feeling."

"Spirit and Star combine! Spirit and Body combine! Spirit and Intent combine!" Li Yuan followed the invisible guidance of the Sound of the Great Dao.

Whoosh~ Li Yuan's consciousness scattered completely in an instant, dividing into thousands.

Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of spiritual thoughts crossed the vast Life Star space in a single thought, easily sensing the extremely rare unawakened Life Stars among the billions of stars... The whole process was shockingly fast.

In the blink of an eye.

The countless spiritual thoughts Li Yuan had divided into had already integrated into the sensed stars, quickly imprinting his own mark.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

It was as if a city was suddenly lit up; the Life Star space, which originally had only a little light... was increasing in brightness at a speed visible to the naked eye!!

Ten thousand! Twenty thousand! Thirty thousand... A massive number of Life Stars were lit up at the same time at this moment.

As a Tier-2 lifeform, the difficulty of Li Yuan's Life Star awakening was much higher than when he was Tier-1.

Similarly, his spiritual power was also much stronger than in the past.

"Invisible guidance."

"Perfect Star Veins." Li Yuan's powerful soul and consciousness still managed to remain awake.

He himself knew.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Life Stars that were almost awakened at the same time, many belonged to awakened Star Veins... and a large number of Life Stars belonged to unawakened Star Veins.

On two of the Star Veins, when the last Life Star awakened, a full 129,600 Life Stars gathered and connected, forming a sense of perfection.

One less Life Star is a regret; one more is a burden.

Flawless!

This was a new Perfect Star Vein.

"Boom rumble~" The previously scattered Life Stars that did not form a system also reached the critical point of Star Vein awakening... and began to operate.

This was a new Star Vein awakening!

Warship, inside a quiet room.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body always emitting a hazy divine glow, and occasionally a strand of light would circle his body.

After a long while.

The light all over his body retracted, returning to normal, and Li Yuan opened his eyes.

"Eight hours?" Li Yuan's consciousness had always remained awake, and he was very clear about his own changes.

Li Yuan's peripheral vision swept directly over one line on the Heart Palace panel:

【Star Veins: 6 Star Veins (10 layers + 10 layers + 10 layers + 6 layers + 6 layers + 4 layers)】

"The second spiritual guidance completed the second and third Star Veins into Perfect Star Veins." Li Yuan sighed secretly: "It also caused other Star Veins to have great progress."

The first spiritual guidance was from nothing to something, allowing Li Yuan to awaken his first Perfect Star Vein.

The second time was completion! At the same time, the sixth Star Vein was awakened.

"Also awakened a large number of messy Life Stars that did not form a system." Li Yuan thought secretly: "It made me not far from awakening the seventh Star Vein."

It could be said.

The efficacy of the second spiritual guidance was far beyond Li Yuan's expectations.

"At least, I have the foundation to cultivate three Supreme Star Arts." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with light: "In this aspect, I have already surpassed God Gu Ju."

The number of Star Veins improves the upper limit of physical realm.

The quality of Star Veins determines the upper limit of Star Arts.

Among the many civilizations in the dimensional domain, Nine Star Veins are almost legendary... Li Yuan has now awakened three Perfect Star Veins; if this were spread out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Fortunately!

Star Veins are introverted and extremely difficult to detect, and as Li Yuan's own strength improves, it will be difficult for Demigods to spy on them later.

After thinking for a while.

"Principal, I have enough confidence. Once the treasures are in place, I will definitely be able to rival a Beast Emperor in a month." Li Yuan chose to send a message to Fang Hai.

Soon.

Fang Hai replied: "Within three days, the treasures will all be delivered."

"Three days?" Li Yuan thought secretly and continued to cultivate with a calm heart, the many tricks for condensing Star Marks in "Divine Body of All Things" appearing in his mind.

"Divine Body of All Things" is an extension of "Divine Body of Earth", and the two are in the same line.

Their Star Marks have many similarities.

As a powerhouse who had already understood the Tier-2 Star Marks of "Divine Body of Earth", Li Yuan felt that comprehending the mysteries of the Star Marks of "Divine Body of All Things" was still difficult, profound, and mysterious.

"So complicated."

"If I hadn't condensed the True Intent of Earth, it would be almost impossible to comprehend it successfully." Li Yuan thought secretly, comprehending patiently.

One must first understand the mysteries of the Star Marks before attempting to imprint them on the Life Stars.

Fortunately, as long as one can imitate and trace them, it doesn't require thorough comprehension.

When Li Yuan was in secret cultivation in the warship's quiet room.

Outside, the Qixing civilization had already begun large-scale mobilization.

"Abandon the Mingxin Base."

"Evacuate everything! Dismantle everything useful and evacuate."

"We cannot hold two bases at the same time; we will only lose both." Orders were issued one after another.

Many martial artists at the Mingxin Base were full of unwillingness, especially those old people who had guarded the Mingxin Base for decades, who were even more reluctant to part with the entire base.

In their hearts, this was their hometown.

It was just that, given the current situation, they had no other choice.

"Retreat; concentrate our strength at the Mingyue Base. As long as we are still alive, as long as we haven't given up, there is hope to win in the future."

"After we completely win the war, we will return to the Mingxin Base." Many martial artists comforted each other.

But in their hearts, they were actually mostly pessimistic.

Over the past year, the Qixing civilization's expansion in the Mingxu Star Realm had gone from victory to defeat... especially the recent great rout, which made countless martial artists feel suppressed, all shrouded in a sense of failure.

Even with the appearance of 'Ling Qiang', who killed in all directions, it only stopped this decline.

In a word!

No matter how strong Ling Qiang is, can he kill a Beast Emperor? Without the strength to defeat a Beast Emperor, he is destined not to win this Star Realm war.

Day after day passed, and a large number of Tier-1 and Tier-2 martial artists were withdrawn to the Xia Nation.

Preserving vital strength.

And the Source Martial Artists with True Intent and Flying martial artists who had originally guarded the Mingxin Base all came to the Mingyue Base.

This also caused the 'Flying-level combat power' of the Mingyue Base to quickly reach 40.

Inside a warship conference room.

"Tavares, Jiang Zai." Demigod Sanye in the projection said softly: "You two must think clearly... Once you break through, you can no longer retreat and will be trapped here forever."

"The Mingxu Star Realm passage has just expanded; in the short term, it is almost impossible to expand into a Tier-3 Star Realm."

"Demigod, I have thought clearly." Tavares said in a low voice: "To completely occupy this world, we must have extremely strong Flying martial artists... Li Yang, Laimeng, and the others have average artistic comprehension; even if we give them another hundred years, they might not reach the peak Flying level."

"Only we, once we break through, have hope of reaching the peak Flying level within ten years, at least reaching Level 34." Tavares said: "By then, whether it is internal war or guarding in the future, we will no longer be shaken."

"Someone has to guard."

Jiang Zai said: "Besides, the Mingxu Star Realm is vast enough; it won't be boring... Maybe we can even become Demigods in the Mingxu Star Realm. After endless years, if our Qixing civilization multiplies, maybe we will be considered the ancestors of a world."

Demigod Sanye and Tavares couldn't help but laugh when they heard Jiang Zai's words.

But thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.

"Good."

"We want to occupy the Mingxu Star Realm, and we indeed need powerhouses to make contributions." Demigod Sanye said slowly: "Rest assured... The alliance will definitely treat you equally. After you break through, there will be no shortage of cultivation resources for you."

"Thank you, Demigod." Tavares and Jiang Zai both said.

That day.

Tavares and Jiang Zai began to condense Source Pills inside the warship... Once this step was taken, there was no turning back.

September 6th.

Li Yuan, who had been cultivating quietly at the Mingyue Base, finally received the news.

He returned to the Jiangnan Province of the Xia Nation along the Star Realm passage.

The world was still shrouded in misty rain, high in the sky outside a war base.

"Principal." Li Yuan bowed respectfully.

"A few days apart, I always feel that you have had significant changes." Fang Hai sighed lightly: "You always give us surprises."

"Thanks to the Principal's guidance and help." Li Yuan smiled.

"I won't steal the credit from Li Yang and Demigod Lie Feng; I didn't intervene in your cultivation path." Fang Hai smiled, flipped his palm, and handed over a storage treasure.

"The things you wanted are all here; check them yourself." Fang Hai said.

"Yes." Li Yuan didn't dare to be careless, his spiritual sense moving to penetrate the silver thin sheet.

One treasure after another, checked one by one.

Confirmed to be correct.

"Sorry for the trouble, Principal." Li Yuan smiled: "I will definitely pay back these 500,000 Qixing points to the alliance as soon as possible."

Li Yuan had no intention of taking advantage.

"No need."

"These treasures are considered my purchase and transfer to you." Fang Hai smiled: "It can also be considered compensation for the Divine Contemplation Method you gave me last time."

"Contemplation Method?" Li Yuan was somewhat dazed, puzzled: "Principal, didn't you give me 30,000 points at the time?"

"Haha!"

"Do you think 30,000 points can buy a Divine Contemplation Method?" Fang Hai smiled.

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Fine, let's end this matter here; these 500,000 Qixing points are my compensation." Fang Hai smiled: "You should use these treasures to cultivate with a calm heart... and don't take too many risks. If you still feel you can't rival the Beast Emperors after you finish cultivating, don't be stubborn."

"Yes."

Not long after.

Watching Fang Hai leave, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and after confirming that there was no one around to sense him.

Hum~

Li Yuan disappeared into the misty rain along an invisible fluctuation.

The Ancient Divine Palace had been staying in this area waiting; Li Yuan had already sensed the existence of the Ancient Divine Palace when he returned to the Xia Nation.

Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, in the empty hall.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan appeared out of thin air, and the white-clad girl in the void of the hall walked down slowly, with a trace of doubt: "Little brother, back so soon? Is the war in the Mingxu Star Realm over?"

"Not yet."

"Encountered some trouble." Li Yuan smiled: "I plan to return for one month of seclusion, striving to cultivate "Divine Body of All Things" to the Tier-2 limit, and then kill my way back."

"Hm, culti..." The girl didn't realize it at first, but then she suddenly reacted: "Divine Body of All Things?"

"Little brother, have you awakened your second Nine Star Vein?" The girl stared at Li Yuan in shock: "So fast?"

"I just cultivated according to the steps." Li Yuan shook his head: "Without knowing it, the second Star Vein reached the Nine-Layer level."

Without knowing it?

The girl was silent.

"Fine, it's a good thing." The girl revealed a smile: "Then go cultivate first."

"Hm." Li Yuan turned and walked into the corridor in the distance, entering the 'Divine Crystal Room'.

The girl stood where she was.

"Sure enough, it's Nine Star Veins; he's going to cultivate "Divine Body of All Things"." The girl sighed secretly.

She controlled the entire Ancient Divine Palace; as long as she was willing, she could monitor every part of the Divine Palace.

"Cultivated according to the steps?" The girl shook her head slightly: "This little brother of mine probably still hides big secrets."

All life has the habit of hiding secrets; the girl was not surprised.

"I just hope that such surprises come as many as possible." The girl revealed a smile at the corner of her mouth: "With such high Star Vein talent, perhaps, when he becomes a Flying martial artist, he really has hope of awakening Eight Star Veins and cultivating three Supreme Star Arts."

Li Yuan's talent was indeed beyond Gu You's understanding.

Inside the Divine Crystal Room.

Li Yuan sat quietly, sensing the rich Divine Crystal energy around him.

"Under normal circumstances, a Source Martial Artist's physical fitness is limited, and they can cultivate at most two Star Arts." Li Yuan thought silently in his heart: "I want to fight with peak Flying powerhouses; only by cultivating a fourth Star Art will I have a greater chance."

Then, only by raising the upper limit of physical fitness.

"I cultivated "Divine Body of Earth", making my physical fitness improvement far exceed other Source Martial Artists, so I could successfully cultivate the third Star Art "Shadow Clones"." Li Yuan thought secretly: "Now, only by cultivating "Divine Body of All Things" successfully and making the body transform to the limit of a Source Martial Artist will I have hope of cultivating four Star Arts."

This was also an important reason why body-refining Star Arts were hailed as the 'Source of Ten Thousand Arts'.

It could comprehensively improve a powerhouse's strength, and even potential.

Boom! Li Yuan waved his hand, and suddenly dense rare treasures appeared.

"Divine Body of All Things."

Li Yuan began to operate the corresponding Star Art mysteries in his body, and invisible power acted on the many rare treasures.

He began to absorb the essence contained within them.

Even though Li Yuan had already made full preparations.

But wanting to transform the Divine Body of Earth into the Divine Body of All Things was destined to take a very long time.

The transformation of the body could not be rushed.

Being too anxious would instead easily lead to cultivation mistakes, physical damage, or even collapse.

Ten minutes later.

With the help of many rare items.

"First piece, Tier-1 Divine Body Star Mark!" Li Yuan successfully imprinted the Star Mark on the Life Star.

Even if it was a Supreme Star Art, it was ultimately a Tier-1 Star Mark, so Li Yuan found it extremely easy to cultivate.

In just one day, Li Yuan cultivated "Divine Body of All Things" to the Tier-1 limit in one go.

But there was no major change in his body.

"Tier-2 Divine Body Star Mark." Li Yuan thought secretly: "This is the real difficulty."

The difficulty of imprinting Tier-2 Star Marks soared by more than dozens of times.

Day after day passed, and Li Yuan cultivated with focus in the Ancient Divine Palace.

The situation in the outside world was also undergoing changes.

September 10th.

Tianliang Star, outside a Star Realm entrance.

A group of powerful existences stood in the void, all emitting powerful auras.

The leader was a golden-haired man wearing purple robes, with a high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets, his eyes deep, and his whole body emitting an extremely domineering aura.

A black-clad youth with the weakest aura stood beside the golden-haired man.

"Teacher."

The black-clad youth couldn't help but transmit his voice: "No matter how high the talent of those Lu Lei and Luo Erbi Si is, there is no need for you to welcome them personally."

His teacher was one of the peak existences of the entire Tianliang civilization—Demigod Jin Liang.

Now, he was even one of the three Speakers of the Tianliang civilization, and his strength was also extremely terrifying; he was absolutely a peak Demigod existence.

"Fu Yuan, be patient."

Demigod Jin Liang said slowly: "Your talent is much higher than Yu Fu and the others; now you are only a Source Martial Artist, and your artistic technique has already reached the Mid-Tier of Level 6... but your temperament is far worse and needs more tempering."

Fu Yuan was the number one Source Martial Artist of the current generation of the Tianliang civilization!

In terms of strength, he was probably close to Yu Jinghe... but he had never participated in the Great War of the Mingxu Star Realm.

"This disciple will remember." Fu Yuan responded with his mouth, but he didn't truly care in his heart.

Suddenly!

The light screen in the distance rippled.

"It's here." Demigod Jin Liang's eyes narrowed slightly; not just him, but the many Demigods and peak Flying powerhouses around him all lit up, full of expectation in their hearts.

Only Fu Yuan was confused.

Boom!

A youth wearing black battle armor stepped out and walked out of the Star Realm passage.

When he appeared, the whole world seemed to change, and a bloody, tyrannical aura erupted, causing the many Flying martial artists present to change their expressions greatly.

Fu Yuan, who had the weakest strength, was even vaguely suffocating.

This kind of aura was too terrifying.

Everyone had to admit that facing this black-armored youth, the powerful Demigod Jin Liang would be much inferior.

"Jin Liang, long time no see." The black-armored youth's voice was hoarse.

"Ye An, so many years have passed, your strength has become even stronger." Demigod Jin Liang said sincerely.

Boom!

Fu Yuan's eyes widened; he finally understood who the other party was!

Demigod Ye An, the number one Demigod of the current generation of the Wan Mo civilization, known as the existence closest to a God in the Wan Mo civilization.

He actually came?
