Chapter 139: Abilities! Abilities! Abilities!

The Heart-Forging Method was a special cultivation technique gifted to him by Zhao Jiayi's father.

As long as one can enter the method, one may use the activated Cosmic God to temper the spirit and sublimate the heart; once cultivated successfully, telekinesis can be awakened.

Moreover, when he first obtained the Star Map recording the Heart-Forging Method, according to Zhao Jiayi's father, if he cultivated it successfully and followed the method at the end of the Heart-Forging Method, it would bring him "great benefits."

That method was a special pronunciation similar to a spell, which needed to be chanted at a specific moment on the 28th of every month, coordinated with telekinetic waves.

Although he was not clear on what those so-called great benefits were, he could try it when the 28th of this month arrived.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a vast amount of inexplicable information flooded his mind, and Lin Qing also understood how he should cultivate to make the Heart-Forging Method succeed.

Each time one fully endures the heart-tempering of the activated Cosmic God, succeeding after seventy times.

As massive memories surfaced, Lin Qing's spirit and heart began to sublimate repeatedly at this moment; his spiritual will was not strengthened, but what changed was a deeper level of "perception."

He, who had previously known the world solely through the five senses, now for the first time perceived this world more deeply through a spiritual sense transcending reality.

"This is..."

As his sensing power grew stronger and more acute, at this moment, as if breaking through a certain boundary, his heart, sublimated many times, broke out of its shell and finally shattered the barrier between spirit and reality!

Only by breaking through this boundary can one influence reality with the spirit, and only then can it be called the awakening of telekinesis!

His sensing power, already transformed to extreme strength, at the instant the Heart-Forging Method succeeded, completely changed from an ethereal spiritual sense into substantial telekinesis!

"Boom—"

At this moment, invisible spiritual telekinesis quietly spread out, straining to expand even further.

Humans are three-dimensional beings, while the retina is two-dimensional, so it can only receive images on a plane; it is only that the brain can analyze depth information through the parallax of two eyes, thereby perceiving and understanding three-dimensional space.

And the perception of spiritual telekinesis is true three-dimensional space!

Human eyes cannot see existences hidden in blind spots or obscured, but where telekinesis covers, there is no such thing as a blind spot.

As long as the brain of a telekinesis awakener can endure enough information, it can perceive all information within the telekinesis range in an instant.

"This is telekinesis?"

Lin Qing murmured and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he could clearly perceive all information within the entire villa; which items were placed where, specific quantities, and other information were all crystal clear.

However, his telekinesis reached its limit just tens of meters away.

This made him feel somewhat strange; although his telekinesis had just awakened, the range was too small.

At the same time, he could also sense a spiritual telekinesis far stronger than his own sweeping over.

"Lin Qing, has your telekinesis awakened?"

At this time, Zhao Jiayi's surprised telekinetic transmission rang in his mind.

"Yes." Lin Qing also transmitted via telekinesis, "Indeed, only those with awakened telekinesis can perceive telekinesis..."

Unless the spirit breaks the barrier of reality, there is no way to perceive telekinesis that has broken through the boundary.

However, at this moment, even when he released his telekinesis with full force, it only spread out tens of meters.

Compared to Zhao Jiayi, it was far inferior.

"You have quite a talent for telekinesis cultivation."

Zhao Jiayi transmitted via telekinesis: "Your father only passed the Heart-Forging Method to you half a year ago, yet you have already cultivated it successfully."

"I have just awakened." Lin Qing asked in confusion, "But why is my telekinesis range so small?"

"Oh?" Zhao Jiayi transmitted curiously, "What type is your telekinesis?"

"Type?" Lin Qing asked in puzzlement.

"Telekinesis also has different specialties."

Zhao Jiayi explained: "Some are good at perception, some at object control, some at mental attacks, some at will enhancement; in short, each is different. Sense your own telekinesis and look inward at the telekinesis aggregate in your mind, and you will know."

"Telekinesis aggregate?" Lin Qing did not understand much about telekinesis either, so he immediately tried as she said.

Looking inward at his own body and attempting to sense the source of telekinesis, he immediately felt a roar in his spirit and sensed a phantom figure in his mind.

That was the source formed by the gathering of massive telekinesis, a mixture of spirit and energy.

"My telekinesis aggregate is a phantom figure; what type of telekinesis is this?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"Wow, a Telekinesis Body? No wonder your telekinesis range is small."

Zhao Jiayi said in surprise: "Father said this type of telekinesis is very rare."

"Telekinesis Body?" Lin Qing did not quite understand.

"My telekinesis aggregate is an ocean."

Zhao Jiayi said: "My type is called 'Telekinesis Sea,' belonging to the telekinesis with the largest quantity, so my telekinesis range is much larger than others."

"And the 'Telekinesis Body' is the other extreme, belonging to the telekinesis type with the lowest quantity, but extremely condensed; it is very good at controlling oneself with telekinesis and can unleash one's own higher potential."

"Simply put, your telekinesis diffusion range will be very small, more suitable for extending telekinesis along with energy and the physical body, but it is very good at assisting combat and also good at shielding others from perceiving you mentally."

"And my Telekinesis Sea has a telekinesis diffusion range hundreds or thousands of times larger than yours, better suited for large-scale exploration and long-distance control."

Zhao Jiayi transmitted via telekinesis.

"Telekinesis Body? Telekinesis Sea?" Lin Qing pondered.

"Father said there are also Telekinesis Flames good at mental attacks, Telekinesis Threads good at control, and so on, but I have never seen other types." Zhao Jiayi muttered.

Lin Qing asked in confusion: "Then how should telekinesis be cultivated and grown? My current telekinesis is just in the awakened state; do I simply absorb mysterious energy to grow?"

He could feel that his own telekinesis was also slowly absorbing mysterious energy floating in the outside world, growing stronger at a very slow speed.

But this speed was simply too slow, too slow.

"Telekinesis also has cultivation methods."

Zhao Jiayi said helplessly: "However, different telekinesis aggregates also require different telekinesis cultivation methods; I only have the cultivation method for the Telekinesis Sea."

She added: "By the way, when Father passed you the telekinesis cultivation method, did he teach you anything else?"

"The rest?"

Lin Qing immediately said: "There's another piece, something like a chant—it must be recited at a specific moment, and it's said to bring me great benefits."

"So Dad taught you, huh?" Zhao Jiayi suddenly grinned. "Then it's fine—you'll know by the 28th of this month. I can't tell you."

"You can't tell me?"

Lin Qing didn't press further; today was already January 3, 2122, and in just over twenty days it would be the 28th.

"By the way," he asked, "how large is your mental range now?"

"Three hundred and sixty kilometers in radius," Zhao Jiayi said.

"That's huge," Lin Qing said in surprise.

Since her gene awakening, her mental range had been growing at an astonishing rate—and accelerating further.

He didn't know what race Zhao Jiayi belonged to.

"Dad says normal people at the same level have less than one-tenth my mental range," Zhao Jiayi sighed. "But mental sea types aren't very good at combat."

Lin Qing sighed: "Your mental growth is pretty fast."

"It's limited by my physical condition," Zhao Jiayi sighed. "Physical condition sets the upper limit for mental growth. My mental growth is far outpacing my physical improvement."

Lin Qing knew Zhao Jiayi had barely trained any combat techniques—she focused almost entirely on improving her physical condition.

But when he'd previously offered to help her find a way to optimize her genes, she'd refused.

Because even without gene optimization, her post-awakening physical upper limit was already a hundred times that of an ordinary human—more than enough for gene recombination.

It was said that Zhi Star people's genes worked this way: even without optimization, their post-awakening physical condition reached roughly a hundred times that of an ordinary Earth human.

But if an Earth human didn't optimize their genes, their post-awakening physical condition only reached twenty to thirty times that of an ordinary human.

"But my physical condition is nearly at its limit."

Zhao Jiayi muttered: "Gene recombination will still take some time. She says I need to further hone my willpower."

"He?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled. "Who? Your father?"

"Uh… no, it's an aunt who's been really kind to me…" Zhao Jiayi sighed. "Anyway, you'll know by the 28th."

Lin Qing grew even more curious.

What exactly was the "great benefit" Zhao Jiayi's father had mentioned?

"Alright, so for your gene recombination, you only need to hone your willpower?" Lin Qing asked. "You don't need to adapt to fourth-tier energy?"

"I've already adapted," Zhao Jiayi shook her head. "During my mental training, I already absorbed fourth-tier energy."

Lin Qing was stunned.

He was usually too busy training to pay attention to Zhao Jiayi's progress— they just ate and lived together—and yet she'd quietly grown to this level?

"By the way, I promised I'd give you a gift once your mental ability awakened."

Zhao Jiayi suddenly grinned: "Wait a moment—I'll come down and give it to you myself."

…

"Here, take it."

After dashing down the stairs, Zhao Jiayi handed Lin Qing a pendant and said: "Wear this while training your mental ability—it'll greatly speed up your progress."

"A pendant?" Lin Qing took it, examining the deep-black crystal on it, as dark as outer space, with tiny specks of starlight flickering faintly within.

He weighed it in his hand—about a hundred grams total, including the chain, mostly due to the heavy black crystal.

"It boosts mental training? Then why don't you use it?" Lin Qing asked.

"It's a fixed bonus—it's very useful when your mental ability is weak."

Zhao Jiayi explained: "Suppose my current mental training speed is 100—it can only raise mine to 100-something, so its effect is minimal now. But for you, it'll make your training several times faster."

"Alright," Lin Qing didn't refuse. "I'll take it."

"Oh, and you must hide it well."

Zhao Jiayi said seriously: "Don't let anyone see it. Ordinary people won't recognize it, but if someone does, it'll be a huge problem—that's what Dad said."

"Got it," Lin Qing nodded slightly. "What is this pendant made of?"

"I don't know," Zhao Jiayi said. "Dad said especially not to let Zhi Star people see it."

"Understood," Lin Qing nodded. "I'll return it after I'm done using it."

"No, no," Zhao Jiayi waved her hand. "I promised to give it to you. I never gave you a birthday gift."

"Alright then," Lin Qing smiled faintly.

He didn't say thank you.

Because if he did, the girl would sulk, saying he treated her like an outsider and was too formal with her.

"Then I'm going back to sleep?" Zhao Jiayi asked tentatively, her eyes hopeful.

"Sweet dreams," Lin Qing reached out and patted her head.

Zhao Jiayi made an "ooh" sound, then turned and muttered in her hometown dialect: "Why doesn't he call me 'sweetheart' anymore even like this…"

Lin Qing's lips twitched slightly—Chen Guang, really…

After Zhao Jiayi left, he examined the pendant in his hand while naturally absorbing ambient energy with his mental ability—and found his mental growth rate had indeed increased several-fold.

"It really is a treasure…"

Lin Qing sighed inwardly, then softly asked: "Chen Guang, do you have any data on this thing?"

A streak of light flew out and instantly transformed into a blank-faced little girl.

"What?"

Chen Guang immediately studied the pendant in Lin Qing's hand—then froze, as if stunned.

Lin Qing noticed she was staring blankly at the pendant—or rather, at the pure black crystal on it.

"Master, where did you get this?" Chen Guang couldn't help asking.

"Zhao Jiayi gave it to me."

Lin Qing looked at her and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Chen Guang fell silent for a moment, then said, "I saw its data while following my father to Chu Hongjun's place. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary 'Starfall Source Stone'."

"What?"

Lin Qing was stunned as well.

He looked at the pendant in his hand with disbelief, gazing at the pure black crystal upon it that shimmered with tiny points of starlight, and he was completely bewildered.

This thing... is actually a Starfall Source Stone?

The legendary Starfall Source Stone that even the Zhixing Group couldn't produce 21 grams of?

How is that possible?

It was simply too incredible, leaving him completely bewildered.

It was just a casual gift between friends; who could have imagined it was the legendary Starfall Source Stone?

It was like a friend from an ordinary family receiving gifts worth tens or hundreds of yuan for a birthday, only to suddenly discover that one of those gifts was a rare treasure that even the world's wealthiest group couldn't afford!

How could anyone not be bewildered?

"Are you sure?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

Chen Guang was silent for a short while, then said, "Judging by the energy wavelength it radiates and its appearance, it matches the Starfall Source Stone recorded in the data exactly. It shouldn't be wrong."

She then asked, "Master, have you used it for cultivation? Besides awakening abilities, the greatest function of the Starfall Source Stone is to accelerate cultivation speed. It can actively gather ambient free energy and refine it, effectively boosting both mental power cultivation and genetic cultivation."

Lin Qing fell silent.

His genetics had already reached their limit with no room for improvement, so naturally, he couldn't feel it.

But the speed of his mental power cultivation had indeed increased several-fold!

"Then I can confirm, it is likely truly a Starfall Source Stone..."

Lin Qing slowly took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions, and gazed wordlessly at the pendant in his hand, unable to believe this was real.

The legendary Starfall Source Stone that even the Zhixing Group revered as a supreme treasure—Zhao Jiayi had just casually given it to him?

Although she didn't know it was a Starfall Source Stone either, it was obvious that the pendant must have been given to her by her father.

If she could even produce a Starfall Source Stone, what exactly was Zhao Jiayi's father's background?

"This Starfall Source Stone weighs over a hundred grams..."

Lin Qing took another deep breath, feeling as though he, a poor beggar, was holding a mountain of gold, which caused his pressure to surge dramatically.

The Zhixing Group couldn't produce 21 grams of Starfall Source Stone, yet he held over a hundred grams?

If he were discovered, his fate was easy to imagine!

"Master," Chen Guang said solemnly, "It is said that the Starfall Source Stone is a restricted resource even in the universe, with an unknown origin. So even though the Yuanchen Civilization where the Zhixing people reside has achieved interstellar travel, they can hardly find any Starfall Source Stones. Thus, Starfall Source Stones should only circulate among higher-level civilizations."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and slowly nodded.

He looked at the pendant in his hand, gazing at the pure black crystal as dark as the deep void, observing the tiny points of starlight within, and asked, "Can the Starfall Source Stone be used to awaken abilities?"

"Yes, but this is only over a hundred grams; it is far from enough to awaken."

Chen Guang said, "Qi Lingxiao, the founder of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall; Chu Hongjun, the Dean of the Dawn Group; and Yi Leina Duo, the founder of the Twilight Front—they all once used 21 grams of Starfall Source Stone as a price to obtain the names of their abilities and the quantity of Starfall Source Stones required for awakening."

She continued, "It is said that Qi Lingxiao requires 2,740 kilograms of Starfall Source Stone to awaken his ability, Chu Hongjun requires 7,512 kilograms, and Yi Leina Duo requires 34,051 kilograms."

"Such a huge difference?" Lin Qing was astonished.

What puzzled him even more was—

Since the price for ability awakening is so great, and even the price of 21 grams of Starfall Source Stone is enormous, why did these three big shots still pay such a huge price to obtain the ability names and the required quantities?

Was it just to get the ability names and the required amounts?

"I heard that the greater the price required for ability awakening, the higher the ability's level."

Chen Guang nodded slightly and said, "According to data from extraterrestrial civilizations, ability awakening originally did not exist. It is a special method used by truly powerful civilizations in the universe to help their juniors develop their talents. After all, only such powerful civilizations would have Starfall Source Stones circulating." Lin Qing understood her meaning.

From the perspective of Earth's civilization, even a third-grade alloy the size of a soybean is extremely precious because Earth's civilization has no method to manufacture it.

But for the Zhixing Group, the amount used to construct buildings or spaceships is measured in tens of thousands of tons.

This is the gap between civilizations.

Before a civilization like the Zhixing people, capable of interstellar travel, Earth's civilization is indeed too weak.

"For Earthlings, genetic awakening is already extremely rare, but the Zhixing people have achieved universal genetic awakening; even mental power awakening is quite common."

Chen Guang said, "Perhaps ability awakening for the Zhixing people is like mental power awakening in the eyes of Earthlings. Mainly because restricted resources like the Starfall Source Stone, in the eyes of those high-level civilizations, ability awakening might be a basic operation that should be universal."

"Where did those three from Earth get their Starfall Source Stones?" Lin Qing was somewhat puzzled. "Why must they pay such a huge price to test?"

"I don't know. Looking at it now, Earth seems quite special as well."

Chen Guang shook her head slightly. "According to my deduction, those three most likely did it to confirm their talent potential. After all, ability awakening is a method to develop talents. The more Starfall Source Stones required, the higher the energy level involved, which represents greater potential."

!.

Lin Qing suddenly understood and said, "So it must be Yi Leina Duo, the founder of the Twilight Front; her potential is the strongest?"

"Indeed."

Chen Guang nodded and said, "My father heard Chu Hongjun say that the powers corresponding to the abilities of him and Qi Lingxiao align with the six major factions. Although their energy levels are very high, Earth is also special. At the very least... such energy-level powers still exist on Earth. They seem to have truly mastered such energy-level powers, so whether they awaken abilities or possess special abilities makes no difference; it has no real impact on them personally."

She spoke softly, "As for the power corresponding to Yi Leina Duo's ability, such an energy level does not exist on Earth at all, so she cannot master it either."

Lin Qing understood a bit.

Chen Guang had said so before.

For a life-bearing planet like Earth, which can give birth to Star Gods, its consciousness actively gathers high-energy-level powers from the six major factions of Life, Destruction, Order, Chaos, Authority, and Nature from the starry sky.

The powers of the six major factions, even the lowest sixth energy level, can only be utilized by a very few powerful primordial beings.

Higher energy levels are even beyond the scope of primordial beings.

For example, Yan's Black Flame.

It is said that the Wisdom Star Group possesses many Primal Beings; perhaps figures like Qi Lingxiao and Chu Hongjun, who command the group's respect, belong to a realm even above that of Primal Beings...

And the power level corresponding to Yi Leina Duo's Authority is so high that such energy levels do not even exist on Earth?

"Father heard Chu Hongjun say that Yi Leina Duo is the most regrettable case; her potential is astonishing, but it seems she missed a great opportunity, falling just a little short," Chen Guang said.

A great opportunity?

Lin Qing's heart stirred.

Could this be the reason why these three were willing to pay any price to obtain the names of the Authorities and the required costs?

"By the way."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qing suddenly said, "You just said that Authority Awakening is talent development?"

Chen Guang nodded and said, "The data speculates that an Authority alters the soul; once an Authority is awakened, one gains a corresponding innate ability. Its strength is unknown, but the key is that the soul can establish a connection with the corresponding high-energy power, which is the main reason for talent development."

She paused, "However, it is said that the importance of Authority Awakening lies not in the ability itself, but in its capacity to bring about tremendous transformation to civilization, even for a Level Six Authority."

"Transformation?"

Lin Qing looked somewhat puzzled. "Just one ability causing a civilizational transformation? If it is merely Level..."

As far as he knew, those who truly mastered Level Six power and became Level Six lifeforms were still Primal Beings, just more powerful ones.

And those three should have already surpassed Level Six; merely awakening a Level Six power, what transformative effect could it possibly have on civilization?

"I am not clear on that either." Chen Guang shook her head.

Lin Qing fell silent for a moment, then said, "In other words, even if one originally lacked the aptitude to perceive high-energy power, one would gain such aptitude after Authority Awakening; in that case, wouldn't merging with the planetary consciousness become very simple?"

To undergo the Primal Metamorphosis, one's personal consciousness must merge with the planetary consciousness.

The planetary consciousness constantly and actively gathers high-energy power from the Liuda Sect, at a minimum of Level Six.

Therefore, theoretically, as long as one can perceive a certain high-energy power attracted by the planetary consciousness, one can follow that power to merge one's personal consciousness with the planetary consciousness.

This high-energy power acts like a bridge, making it possible for the personal consciousness and the planetary consciousness to connect.

"That is correct. Since an Authority is meant to alter the soul, therefore the heaviest factor is quantity, which means the energy level."

Chen Guang said, "If one possesses a supreme treasure like a Starry Sky Source Stone, paying such a huge cost to achieve Primal status would certainly not be difficult."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

"But Authority Awakening is almost impossible to achieve."

Chen Guang glanced at him and said, "It is said that under normal circumstances, Authorities mostly manifest as Level Six power, but generally require dozens of kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stones."

Dozens of kilograms, tens of thousands of grams of Starry Sky Source Stones; such an exaggerated cost would probably make even the Wisdom Star Group despair.

Paying such a cost just to create a single Primal Being?

That is naturally pure nonsense.

"Then..."

Lin Qing suddenly asked, "Are there any precedents for naturally awakening an Authority in the world?"

"The data mentions some, but it is unknown whether they are true or false."

Chen Guang said, "They seem absurdly rare; it is said that in the Yuanchen Civilization of the Wisdom Star People, not a single such case has appeared in hundreds of thousands of years."

Lin Qing slowly nodded and asked no more.

After Chen Guang returned to the Star-Transmitting Tower, he took a deep breath, looked at the pendant in his hand, stared at this Starry Sky Source Stone, and found his heart unable to settle.

"Authority Awakening..."

"If 21 grams of Starry Sky Source Stone is equivalent to the entry level, then wouldn't I be able to pre-pay for Authority Awakening?"

At the thought of this possibility, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Authority!

Perhaps not even a single precedent for Authority Awakening has appeared on the entire Earth!

Yet he might be able to realize the legendary Authority Awakening?

"We will know if we try now."

Lin Qing took another deep breath, looked at the Starry Sky Source Stone in his hand, hesitated not at all, and immediately began to recall the "Authority Awakening Method" he had learned back then.

Authority Awakening Method.

This is a technique that uses one's own mysterious energy to communicate with the external universe; by chanting 380 mysterious, unknown sounds and paying a sufficient amount of Starry Sky Source Stones, one receives the universe's blessing, causing the 'Authority' to descend.

The 380 mysterious sounds are like an unknown incantation, possessing a strange chanting rhythm and pauses.

Lin Qing immediately began to consume the mysterious energy within his body and attempted to chant once more.

Although some syllables were somewhat difficult to pronounce, given his control over his own body, as long as it was a sound a human could produce, there would be no problem.

As the syllables were chanted one by one, between the rises and falls, a special beauty and solemn meaning were subtly revealed.

At the very moment Lin Qing finished the 380th syllable—

"Boom!"

In that instant, it was as if a hallucination appeared before his eyes; suddenly, he saw a vast and clear colorful radiance forming a double-helix staircase structure in the darkness, and at the end of that light seemed to be a faint, blurred outline, indistinct and unclear.

At the same time, Lin Qing suddenly felt that the pendant embedded with the Starry Sky Source Stone in his hand had become slightly lighter in that moment.

A solemn and grand low voice suddenly rang deep within his heart, like the primordial sound echoing from the deepest reaches of the universe, shaking his soul into endless roaring and trembling.

Although this voice did not belong to any language he knew, he immediately understood its meaning—

"Awaken!"

In that instant, an ancient and mysterious aura enveloped him, causing his consciousness to become dazed.

Under the influence of this ancient and mysterious aura, Lin Qing felt as though he was about to undergo some kind of metamorphosis.

Suddenly, a mysterious message floated into his mind.

Afterwards, everything before his eyes returned to normal.

Lin Qing sat motionless in place, staring at the Starry Sky Source Stone on the pendant in his hand, which had shrunk by a circle, recalling the message in his mind.

【Ability Name: Eternal Divided Soul】

【Awakening Cost: 864,755 thousand kilograms of Starfall Source Stones】

"Eternal Divided Soul?"

Lin Qing was stunned, unable to believe the message in his mind as he confirmed it: "H-how much?"

Over 864,000 kilograms of Starfall Source Stones!!

Over 800 tons??

Lin Qing looked at the Starfall Source Stone in his hand, which he estimated had barely over 100 grams left, and couldn't help but feel like laughing.

"Strange... my potential is so high... even higher than Yi Leina Duo's... is it really beyond the scope of Earth as well?"

"Relying on myself, there's absolutely no possibility..."

He helplessly sighed and immediately called out in his mind: "Order."

——

【Current Order Level: 111.8】

【Number of Advanceable Items: 0/4】

【Advanced Items: Combat Technique 'God-Refining Form' (19.8% Completed)】

【Advanced Items: Combat Technique 'Source Divine Weapon' (5.7% Completed)】

【Advanced Items: Bloodline Evolution Ability - Sky-Track Monarch 'Domain' (0% Completed)】

【Advanced Items: 'Heart-Refining Method' (0% Completed)】

【Advanceable Items: Ability Awakening 'Eternal Divided Soul', Military Combat Arts, Sketching, Calligraphy, Cooking, Street Dance, Chamber Arts...】

【Mastered Items (Hidden)】

——

"This... can really be advanced..."

Lin Qing stared fixedly at the Ability Awakening among the advanceable items, his heart pounding wildly.

"Advancing the future... with my current strength, there's actually such a possibility for the future?"

Although he couldn't advance it yet, as long as he repaid the 'Heart-Refining Method', he could choose to advance the Ability 'Eternal Divided Soul'!

No need to pay that terrifying cost of over 800 tons of Starfall Source Stones!!

Even if this meant losing one advance opportunity forever, Lin Qing still felt it was a huge, huge profit!

Moreover, once he became the Supreme Commander of the Asian Patrol and his Order Level broke 1,000, he could gain another advance slot.

Exempting a full 800 tons of Starfall Source Stones!!

Such a terrifying cost, even if the Wisdom Star Group knew, they would probably go blind with shock.

"Just depends on how long it takes to complete the Heart-Refining Method; it shouldn't be too long..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, forcibly calming his excited mood.

……

Two days later, Lin Qing confirmed it.

With his awakened telekinesis, he could probably withstand one full Cosmic God's Soul-Refining Hammer per day.

A total of seventy times, which means seventy days!

After seventy days, he would gain another empty slot.

"Today is January 3rd; if all goes well, it will be repaid by March 15th."

Lin Qing looked forward to this day with unprecedented expectation, "By then, I can awaken the Ability!"

He was also very curious.

Eternal Divided Soul, what kind of ability is this?

But regardless of the ability's strength, at least this Ability can change his soul, allowing him to connect with the high-energy forces of the Liuda Sect!

Perhaps... this will be the greatest opportunity to change his future path.

……

……

In the following days, it was day after day of cultivation to repay the debt.

After Lin Qing became familiar with coordinating the Domain ability and other abilities, and was fully prepared, he re-entered the Star-Transmitting Tower.

Now, he was confident he could pass the trial of the three stone statues in the first checkpoint.

……

Inside the misty, ethereal world, beneath the towering, magnificent Shanfeng, a hazy cyan light domain had already covered this area.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Dozens of dazzling, sharp streaks of light shot out from the half-sky, all flying towards the red-haired woman and the white-haired swordsman who were dodging in all directions.

These dancing, sharp streaks of light were, in fact, dark golden weapons like javelins, halberds, and great swords.

Source Divine Weapons!

A total of seven Source Divine Weapons, boosted by the Domain to over a hundred times the speed of sound, constantly tearing through the air, flying in the sky, carving out arcs of light, and crazily besieging the red-haired woman and the white-haired swordsman.

Although the energy of the Source Divine Weapons was limited, once the Domain was deployed, Lin Qing didn't need to touch the Source Divine Weapons to replenish their energy through the Domain.

Originally, he could only control two Source Divine Weapons to attack simultaneously, but after awakening his telekinesis, he could control up to seven.

Especially when coordinated with the Domain, the Sky-Track coordinates could also be directly imprinted onto the enemies through the Domain.

At this moment, Lin Qing had imprinted the Sky-Track coordinates onto the red-haired woman, allowing the Source Divine Weapons to follow the invisible Sky-Track; combined with the Domain's boost, this was why they could move at such a terrifying speed.

As for himself, he deployed the Wings of the Firmament to block the attacks of the white-haired swordsman.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The seven Origin Divine Weapons were now furiously besieging the red-haired woman; even with her extremely perfect defensive technique, they could easily tear through her defenses.

As for dodging, that was even more unrealistic.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

In just one exchange, the red-haired woman, whose strength had been suppressed by more than half by the Domain, was directly blasted to death by the Origin Divine Weapons; immediately following the white-haired elder who had exited first, she instantly turned into shattered stone blocks on the spot.

"Only one left!"

Watching the red-haired woman die, Lin Qing once again controlled the Origin Divine Weapons to besiege the white-haired swordsman together, while he himself charged up to engage in close-quarters combat.

For a moment, violent shockwaves rolled and swept across, causing nearby mountain rocks to tremble and shatter, the earth to crack, and gullies to crisscross.

Although his energy was nearly depleted, and even with the rapid recovery of the Domain, he could not use the Third Sky Track Coordinate again, a one-on-one fight was already sufficient.

In a short while, the white-haired swordsman also died at Lin Qing's hands, instantly turning into shattered stone blocks on the spot.

The first trial was passed perfectly.

"Haa..."

Lin Qing let out a slight sigh of relief, retracted the Origin Divine Weapons and the Wings of the Firmament, stopped the technique and various abilities, and only then looked toward the Legacy Stele not far away.

Finally... he could learn the last Prime-level technique.

The Legacy Stele radiated brilliant light, floating up large characters one by one, revealing a new Prime-level technique.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing it, Lin Qing couldn't help but smile, "So it's that..."
