Chapter 1006: Stellar Transformation: Are You All Cheating?!

Stellar Transformation — this was the cultivation method created by Lei Wei, and Fang Yu was quite interested in giving it a try.

He had long since gained the ability to cultivate different arts, because his realm had already reached the Longevity Third Layer — Cave Heaven realm. Back at the Longevity Second Layer — Undying Body realm, he could already make his physical body gather and disperse at will, changing freely. He could toss out one of his particles, transform it into a clone of himself, and cultivating this world's Stellar Transformation method would pose no danger.

As for his Sovereign main body, he still could not lightly change his cultivation method — that would easily cause problems.

"Stellar Transformation! Haha… cultivating this 'Stellar Transformation,' no one knows whether it is fortune or misfortune, it's hard to say. If you don't cultivate it, then later help me find a successor. Unfortunately, cultivating Stellar Transformation requires one's external arts to reach the Innate Extreme, and also requires the Three Heavenly Diagrams as a foundation — I'm afraid finding a successor won't be easy. However… these are all things you'll have to consider later."

In the image, Lei Wei gave a wistful smile, sighed softly, and then his figure vanished.

"I never expected to see this legendary senior today. I once heard that a very long, long time ago, an enormous event occurred on the Hidden Dragon Continent — the Battle of the Immortals. Several Loose Immortals participated in that battle, along with dozens of experts at the Empty Dark and Tribulation Crossing stages, and even leading them was a Great Completion stage cultivator. They all struck out together for the sake of slaying a mysterious person. This mysterious person had not cultivated a Nascent Soul, which was very strange, but in the end, that mysterious person went berserk and erupted with the most scorching power, as if like the sun, burning heaven and destroying earth. At that time, including the Great Completion stage cultivator, so many experts were all killed."

Feng Feng Yuzi's face showed an expression of utter shock, as if recalling a great event from legends of the past. "I never expected that mysterious person to actually be Senior Lei Wei, who cultivated Stellar Transformation!"

"I also never expected this senior to actually be Senior Lei Wei. According to legend, after Senior Lei Wei slew so many experts, he was about to undergo his own Nine-Nine Heavy Tribulation — unfortunately, he did not survive it."

Qin De spoke, his words carrying much regret, and his gaze suddenly turned to Qin Yu. "Yu'er, are you going to cultivate Stellar Transformation?"

"Since I now fully meet the conditions for cultivating Stellar Transformation, how could I be unwilling to give it a try? Senior Lei Wei loved adventure, and so do I. Father, from this day forth, I shall cultivate Stellar Transformation!"

Qin Yu nodded, resolved to cultivate Stellar Transformation.

"As for the lack of subsequent cultivation methods, what is there to fear? I'll just create them myself!"

On Qin Yu's face appeared a surge of bold spirit.

"Good, very good, extremely good. This fearless spirit of a newborn calf that knows no tiger — truly excellent."

Fang Yu, listening nearby, nodded, then pointed with his hand. A particle walked out from within his body, transformed according to this world's humans into a complete youth, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating 'Stellar Transformation.'

"This is… a clone?"

Everyone was startled, shock written on their faces. Anyone could see that these two Immortals were completely identical — clearly the legendary supreme divine ability, the art of clones.

Whether Qin De or Feng Feng Yuzi, both had heard certain things about the Cultivation World — clones were a cultivation method only the most powerful beings knew.

"More or less."

Fang Yu grunted an acknowledgment and began cultivating Stellar Transformation.

Seeing this, Qin Yu also decided to begin cultivating Stellar Transformation.

"If Master wishes to cultivate Stellar Transformation, it would be best to watch a segment of the image left behind by Master Lei Wei, meow. It will be of great help for cultivating Stellar Transformation."

The little meow's voice appeared again, intending to lead everyone to the training ground.

This villa was divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor consisted of a training hall, living room, artifact-refining room, pill-refining room, and storage room; at the very front was a swimming pool, and at the very back was a rear garden, filled with flowers and plants from some exotic planets.

The second floor, meanwhile, contained leisure and entertainment items from the Milky Way galaxy — a bathroom, kitchen, entertainment hall, bedroom, study, and so on.

The little meow named Xiao Xing led everyone to the training hall. The kitten's tail swept once, and the walls of the entire training hall displayed images of the cosmos and stars.

Suddenly, the images around the training hall shifted dramatically — all those cosmic starry skies vanished, and a massive nebula appeared before everyone.

This nebula resembled an enormous cloud of mist, drifting through the cosmos, slowly rotating while absorbing the universe's energy, forming particle after particle.

These particles, after an unknown number of years, slowly gathered toward the rotating center.

As time passed and evolution occurred, a planet slowly condensed into existence.

After the planet finished condensing, countless mysterious changes occurred within, causing this star to continuously evolve and give rise to vitality and life.

After another unknown number of tens of thousands of years, this planet gradually evolved toward becoming a star. After an unknown length of time, a colossal star emitted scorching flames, its energy astonishingly vast.

This was Stellar Transformation.

Observe the transformations of the cosmos's stars, evolving oneself into a star. Within this evolution, myriad Laws seemed to flow, ultimately condensing into such a star.

Of course, this Stellar Transformation technique could theoretically reach the Star realm, but Lei Wei had not actually created the Star realm — this realm was still Lei Wei's conjecture.

And what realm lay beyond the Star realm was also not something Lei Wei could create, because when he underwent his tribulation, he was disturbed by many people, causing his tribulation to fail and himself to perish.

"Golden Core, Nascent Soul — must these be the orthodox path of cultivation? So-called pursuit of the Heavenly Dao — what is the Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao is the evolution of the universe, and also the path of cultivation. First Chapter — Nebula Chapter."

After the image ended, Lei Wei's voice rang out in the void.

"Ordinary cultivators, after successfully undergoing tribulation, condense their innate true qi within their boundless dantian into liquid form, then condense it into a water-sphere-like Golden Core~ But must it necessarily be so? Must it necessarily gather? The first step of Stellar Transformation is to disperse — to spread out, not only throughout the dantian but beyond the body. Using the dantian as the heart and the body as a bridge, connect one's true self with the universe, jointly evolving heaven, earth, and nature."

"Truly audacious — just beginning cultivation, and already dispersing one's scarce true qi, and even attempting to communicate with heaven, earth, and the cosmos. This is far too difficult; ordinary people probably cannot do it."

Fang Yu listened to Lei Wei's words. He himself did not move — his particle clone naturally took a breath, cultivated external arts to Great Perfection, generated a great deal of true qi within, and following the Stellar Transformation cultivation method, displayed it in a mist-like state. From inside to outside, circulating internally and externally, it transformed into a nebula vortex.

For Fang Yu, this was no challenge at all. After all, his true body was a being at the Longevity Third Layer — Cave Heaven realm. The power of his particle clone certainly could not compare to his true body, but his spiritual force, soul force, and Great Dao Laws were no different from his true body's.

Using powerful spiritual force to control all these changes posed no problem whatsoever.

However, for a cultivator who had just reached Innate Great Perfection and was attempting this first step, it would be extremely difficult. How to make one's mist-like true qi take the shape of a nebula — this matter itself was exceedingly difficult.

To cultivate Stellar Transformation, one must make one's true qi circulation exactly identical to the nebula vortex of nature. The closer the resemblance, the better the cultivation effect.

If one cultivates Stellar Transformation but one's true qi circulation takes the form of a rolling great river flowing, or of spring rain falling gently, then one can forget about ever successfully cultivating Stellar Transformation in this lifetime.

Therefore, the first hurdle is to control all the true qi throughout one's entire body, making one's true qi infinitely close to the rotation pattern of a nebula.

The second step is to enable oneself to comprehend the mysteries of heaven, earth, and the cosmos, entering a Realm of Dao Comprehension.

Comprehend the Dao, comprehend the Dao — how could it be that easy?

Of course, for someone at Fang Yu's realm, the nebula trajectory he casually cultivated and evolved was nearly perfect — one could even say it was identical to the nebula trajectories of nature.

This is nature.

At this moment, a cluster of purple mist appeared around Fang Yu. His entire body was enveloped by this purple mist, and following the trajectory of a nebula, it absorbed the star power between heaven and earth, then surged into his muscles, tendons, and bones.

When the star power broke through the muscles, tendons, and bones, these naturally absorbed a portion and were tempered. Immediately after, this purple mist carrying star power returned to the dantian. Passing through the nebula vortex within the dantian, most of its energy was devoured, and then the purple mist dispersed outward once more.

This was one cycle.

The purple mist spread outside the body, absorbing star power between heaven and earth. More star power entered the dantian, expanding the nebula vortex within, while more purple mist dispersed outward.

With each cycle, star power was absorbed, tempering the cultivator's tendons, bones, and muscles, while the nebula energy within the dantian grew ever stronger.

"Disciples of the Qunxing Sect cultivating this Stellar Transformation would probably find it much easier than others."

With a mere thought from Fang Yu's clone, the Three Thousand Great Daos — the Great Stellar Art manifested in this world. Instantly, the star power of countless stars throughout the entire world poured into Fang Yu's nebula vortex as if cost-free, crazily flooding in — making the purple mist Fang Yu absorbed in a single breath millions, even tens of millions of times that of Qin Yu!

Beside him, Qin Yu was also cultivating Stellar Transformation.

His cultivation speed was very slow, yet the nebula vortex he cultivated was remarkably orthodox!

Qin Yu's dantian was extremely strange. Because of its strangeness, he could not concentrate his internal force, and thus could not practice internal cultivation. However, when cultivating the Stellar Transformations, his strange dantian unexpectedly produced a centrifugal force. This perfectly measured centrifugal force allowed his purple true qi to rotate and disperse with ease, effortlessly completing such a nebular circulation.

Moreover, this circulation was an almost perfect circulation.

One could see that within his dantian, a nebula-like vortex had appeared. Purple true qi continuously flowed in from his body, rotated under the influence of the centrifugal force, and then dispersed once more along the trajectory of a nebula.
