Not long ago, when Li Yuan cultivated "The True Explanation of the Earth's Pulse" to the 1st rank 8th level, he only felt that it was slightly stronger than the 1st rank 7th level, and his perception of the fluctuations in the earth's source power became clearer.
But there was no real qualitative change.
However, the 116,640 stars branded by Li Yuan reached a new level of mastery... At that moment, there were still over a million scattered life stars with star marks that seemed to have reached some kind of limit.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
In an instant, the entire perfect stellar vein burst forth completely, also causing Li Yuan's perception of the outside world to undergo a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change... transformation.
"What?"
"Perfect Star Pulse?" Li Yuan's heart was shocked.
The involuntary rotation of the Star Pulse had been going on for a long time, and it wasn't until Li Yuan gradually adapted to it that the faint glow emitted by the Star Pulse was completely retracted.
But it was just collecting light and hiding the strongest star technique of Xingmai, still maintaining its operation.
"Ultimate Stellar Technique."
"The pulse of the earth." Li Yuan's mastery of this star technique allowed him to clearly sense the subtle changes born from the fluctuations in the surrounding heaven and earth.
Very mysterious.
Let Li Yuan feel wonderful and comfortable.
Li Yuan had already sensed the fluctuations of the Earth's origin force quite clearly before, and at this moment, it became several times clearer... If you say that in the past, it was nearsightedness, then now it's like wearing glasses.
"In this state, I want to comprehend the profound mystery of heaven and earth in the vein of the earth more easily than before." Li Yuan was shocked in his heart: "It's really unthinkable."
Of course, Li Yuan understood in his heart.
Whether it's the flying fairy spiritual power or this auxiliary cultivation 'strongest star technique', they are essentially still external forces, a bridge to help understand the mysteries of nature... how far one can go depends on individual enlightenment.
Just like the flying warriors, each and every one of them possesses a spiritual power that can fly in the sky, but many people also find it difficult to cross into the sixth level of skills.
"If one were to describe it, I would say that comprehending the subtleties of nature is like learning," Li Yuan said quietly.
"If I don't have a flying fairy level of spiritual power, then I'm just like in an ordinary school, whether it's the teacher's strength or the surrounding classmates, they're all very average."
"With flying-grade spiritual power, it is a 'key student' of top schools, with the best faculty."
"As for the strongest star technique... it's equivalent to inviting the best teacher in the country to teach you one-on-one!" Li Yuan's heart was stirred with excitement.
Although it can go to which step, still want to look at personal effort.
But human growth is crucially dependent on external environment.
"Cultivating this Nine-Star Technique, it doesn't seem like those powerful killing techniques that can unleash terrifying destructive power, but it provides a steady stream of assistance, allowing me to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth faster. Li Yuan's heart is filled with anticipation: 'To achieve the sixth level of technique even faster, and then... enter the realm of seventh-level principles.'"
Previously, I estimated it would take several months to reach the fifth stage of high rank... Now that I think about it, it will probably be even faster.
"Moreover."
"This auxiliary class's Ninefold Stellar Technique is just saying that it's not good at fighting, but it doesn't mean it's completely ineffective in battle." A faint smile suddenly appeared on Li Yuan's mouth.
Wow!
Li Yuan's hand suddenly produced the Black Chen Gun, and immediately afterwards, the long gun suddenly burst forth.
Under the source of power, the long gun instantly burst out countless starlight, the gun's mighty energy surged, making this mysterious stone room once again like daylight.
"It's clear that my skills haven't changed, but the power of heaven and earth I've stirred up is at least 30% stronger than before." Li Yuan vaguely judged.
The mysterious power of heaven and earth is impossible to capture accurately.
But one thing is certain - when operating under the state of "True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse", Li Yuan's deployment of the Stellar Spear Technique to mobilize the power of heaven and earth has increased greatly.
Compatibility.
"Through astrology, I have a higher degree of harmony with the Earth's veins." Li Yuan had an epiphany: "So, when I use this type of true intent technique, my abilities will become even stronger?"
Just like a crocodile's fighting power in water is definitely much stronger than on land.
Same here.
Li Yuan and Tu Zhiyi's extremely high compatibility allowed him to comprehend the 'Stellar True Intent' much faster, and when he executed the corresponding true intent killing moves, their might would also be greater.
"It's no wonder it's the strongest star technique." Li Yuan secretly admired: "Powerful as this."
Li Yuan calculated based on the various information he knew, and only the small amount of combat power granted by "The True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse" was enough to rival many three-star and four-star techniques that excelled at killing.
"This is just a first-class 9th grade." Li Yuan's eyes had a hint of expectation: "If he can cultivate to the second-class 9th grade, what level will he reach?"
The "True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse" given by Bai Shan is incomplete, only containing the first two stages of the "Star Mark Cultivation Method".
Higher? Bai Shan's half-god is gone.
"That's enough for now."
"Any star technique, whether it's a one-star or nine-star technique, the Source Warriors can cultivate up to the second stage at most. Only Flying Heaven Warriors can cultivate up to the third stage, and only Half-Gods can cultivate up to the fourth stage." Li Yuan said quietly.
One-to-one correspondence.
Only when the life level evolves continuously, and truly transcends, can the life star in the body evolve... to cultivate a certain star technique to a higher level.
"Let's get started."
"Let's see if I can cultivate the 'True Essence of the Earth Star' to the extreme limit of the second stage." Li Yuan put away his long spear and sat down cross-legged.
Immediately continued to practice the star technique.
To upgrade a star technique from first-order to second-order is to further imprint the life star on this star vein with more powerful and mysterious star technique imprints.
The star mark is imprinted, and the life star has extremely high requirements. The spiritual power and the ultimate mysterious feeling also have extremely high requirements.
"Really complicated."
"Second-order stardust is far more complicated than first-order stardust." Li Yuan felt a bit dizzy after some deliberation.
The complexity of a second-order star scar is at least hundreds of times that of a first-order star scar.
When cultivating the first rank of Star Scar, Li Yuan successfully condensed it in an extremely short period of time and then continuously branded it onto his Life Star.
How about now?
Li Yuanguang is a complex structure composed of many second-order star marks, which is very difficult to understand, not just a simple structure but also contains many mysterious fluctuations.
Imitation? It's not just about resemblance, but also truly capturing the spirit.
Time flies, one hour, two hours, three hours...
Gradually.
Li Yuan noticed many special things about the second-order star mark, which contained some applications of the mysteries of nature.
"It involves the mysterious connection between heaven and earth, which is related to the pulse of the earth."
"My understanding of the subtleties of nature... is still very superficial." Li Yuan seemed lost in thought.
Try building a second-order star mark of "The True Meaning of the Earth's Pulse".
It gave Li Yuan a brand new feeling and seemed to have opened the door to a whole new world.
"In a short time."
"I'm afraid it's impossible to cultivate successfully." Li Yuan thought to himself, "No wonder in the Martial Temple's database, Dongfang Xian left behind a manual that wrote..."
"To cultivate powerful star techniques, the star pulse is the foundation, but to thoroughly cultivate successfully, just having a strong star pulse is not enough... various aspects such as technique, spiritual power, physical quality will all have requirements." Li Yuan silently recalled: "Some extremely powerful star techniques even require coordination with many external objects to assist, in order to hope to cultivate them."
At this moment, Li Yuan also somewhat understood why these extremely powerful star techniques were so terrifying.
Demanding high is astonishing.
"It can't be accomplished in a short time, which means my accumulation is still insufficient, so I'll put it aside for now."
"When physical quality and spiritual power are further improved, the technical level is higher, and then continue to practice the second stage of 'Da Di Xing Mai Zhen Jie'." Li Yuan made a decision.
It's not easy for a first-rate star technique to reach the second level of cultivation.
How long has it been since Li Yuan became a Second-Order Source Warrior?
Two or three days.
In recent days, Li Yuan's transformation has only been in physical quality and mental strength, while his technical level remains stagnant.
"At first level, I can be considered the strongest first-level life in the entire civilization."
"But now among the Yuanwu, it's still far away." Li Yuan secretly said: "Let's take it one step at a time. Compared to seniors like Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong, I'm still very far behind."
"As for their physical abilities, each and every one of them is a second-class limit."
"As for the number of awakened star meridians, they are probably five-star meridian or even six-star meridian."
"In terms of technical skill, they have already surpassed six dan."
One sentence.
As for innate talent, Li Yuan is indeed the top of the entire Seven Star Civilization... but if he wants to catch up with the powerful existences in the second tier, Li Yuan cannot relax and must continue to work hard.
……
Walk out of the mysterious stone room.
"It's estimated that I'll have to stay in the boundary for a while longer." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Wait until I'm ready to leave the boundary, then come back to this stone room and try to cultivate again."
A second-class Yuan Wu practitioner who wants to cultivate "Da Di Xing Mai Zhen Jie" must be assisted by the Earth God Crystal.
Even after leaving the boundary of the boundary, the five-element divine crystal is still very precious.
Soon after.
Li Yuan quietly left from the other end of the canyon, far away from the stone chamber at the bottom of the valley, without disturbing Tong Guan and other ordinary Yuan Wu warriors stationed here... The secret of the stone chamber, Li Yuan did not want to tell them for the time being.
But as soon as he left the stone room, Li Yuan had already transmitted the relevant information about the stone room to 'Wu Ma Nong' through the communicator.
After all, Li Yuan can use the stone room at most once more, but as the core of a large source crystal vein, the stone room is likely to be used for a long time.
"If it can be used for a long time."
"It's a treasure trove like this that benefits the entire civilization." Li Yuan looked at it very calmly.
Just like the high-ranking civilized people, they will constantly help themselves and give away a large number of precious resources for free.
When one's own abilities are sufficient, it is natural to make contributions.
……
Ryūsei Star Boundary, War Fortress Inside.
"There was no Five Elements Divine Crystal under that large Original Crystal Vein, but a mysterious stone room was hidden instead? It would take a long time to cultivate inside, and the efficiency of using the Five Elements Divine Crystal for cultivation would be less than one tenth?" When Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe received this news, they were both shocked.
Their eyes met and they instantly understood - Treasure Land!!
This is a super treasure land.
Although it seems inefficient, the key is 'long-term use', and the Five-Line Divine Crystal is a fourth-tier treasure... It's extremely rare in the entire Seven-Star Civilization Treasury.
Bai Shan half-god took out a piece and gave it to Li Yuan, which was already a heavy gift.
Such a treasure land, if it can be used for a long time, its value is immeasurable.
"Report it immediately."
"Wuma Nong and Yu Jinghe immediately reported to a higher level."
……
"What?"
"Is there such a treasure land?"
"Is this really just a large source crystal vein?" The high-level officials of the Seven Star Civilization who were in charge of this war were all shocked when they received this news, and some even dared not to believe it.
Swiftly, these high-ranking officials notified other demigods, star lords... and convened a meeting.
The other demigods and star lords also knew about it and were all shocked.
"Check it out."
"What is contained in this mysterious stone room 'Wu Xing Shen Jing energy' is it a one-time thing, or can the warrior absorb and recover... must investigate clearly."
"If it's the former, then this stone chamber is essentially just a piece of Five Elements Divine Crystal, at most slightly larger... If it's the latter, then its value is immeasurable."
I hope it's the latter.
"It's indeed a relic of the gods." The demigods and star lords of the Seven Star Civilization all felt a sense of melancholy.
"Gentlemen." A calm voice sounded: "If you really confirm that you have the function of rebirth, don't forget Li Yuan's credit. He is the discoverer... and he also cleared the obstacles in the boundary."
"Haha, Fang Hai, don't worry."
"He will definitely not be treated unfairly."
"As long as we can occupy the lower realm and confirm the value of the stone chamber, he will naturally not be short of his reward." The other demigods and star masters all smiled.
"Right."
"My friend in the Gu Yue Shen Kingdom... sent me a message, Xuan Tian Hou is likely to start a war, he has mobilized a large number of forces into the Lie Yu Star Domain." A demigod suddenly spoke up.
As demigods standing at the pinnacle of civilization, they have a longer lifespan and can travel to many star realms to explore mysterious places.
It's normal to have some friends from other cultures.
"Are you going all out?"
"Is he just a Marquis of a small kingdom? Does he even deserve it?"
"Then let's fight!"
"This divine relic, only the tip of the iceberg is revealed. In front, there's Flame City's demigod who obtained 'Demigod Bloodline', and behind, Li Yuan discovered the 'Divine Crystal Chamber'... If we can swallow the entire relic treasure, I can hardly imagine how great our harvest will be."
"War! If Tianhou wants to fight, I'll accompany him." Many demigods and star owners spoke up.
The Seven-Star Civilization stands among many civilizations, with hundreds of years of war-filled skies. Almost all the demigods and star lords have survived countless battles, emerging alive from one great war after another.
"Flaming City Demigod, you have no objections, right?"
"Haha, what opinion can I have? I've said it long ago, about everything in this boundary... hand it all over to the Alliance, I have no complaints." So spoke the only half-god ancestor of the Flame Family, 'Inferno Half-God'.
"Good."
"Reassemble five thousand first-class warriors to enter the Boundary of Boundaries for repeated reconnaissance. Also, inform Rudnev and have him prepare for battle." A high-ranking demigod issued the final command.
Rudnev
The first source of martial arts in the Seven Star Civilization!
……
Ryūsei Seiki, War Fortress.
Inside an ultra-large conference room.
"Rudnef is ready." Wu Manong said in a low voice: "The high-level has received accurate news, the Gu Yue Shen Guo side is preparing for an all-out war... The alliance's high-level is preparing to dispatch a large force to enter."
"Total War?"
"Are we going to have a full-scale war?" Yan Yunhu and Yan Junling were both shocked when they received the news.
Rudnev?
"Is that pervert coming too?" Tavares and Abbott were equally shocked.
They focus on different points.
"Rudnev?" A glimmer of light flashed through Jinghe's eyes, and he instantly recalled the last time they had clashed several years ago, a battle in which he was thoroughly defeated.
Years have passed since then, and Yu Jinghe felt that he had become even stronger, but still couldn't grasp the chance to win against his opponent.
……
Because of his own innate message, Li Yuan, who caused turmoil in the upper echelons of civilization, did not have this kind of self-awareness.
After leaving the mysterious stone room.
Li Yuan didn't delay much and soon rushed to the outermost part of the most central Divine Palace ruins in the border of borders.
Kumazawa and Kuros, have been guarding the outer periphery of the shrine ruins with more than twenty Genbu warriors.
It's just worrying that the strong men of Gu Yue Shen Guo will sneak into the Shen Gong ruins.
Arriving at the outer perimeter of the Temple of Gods, Li Yuan waited for about an hour before two figures appeared in his line of sight.
"Alicia, Cifeng." Li Yuan looked at the two people who were 'fashionably late' and smiled: "How was it?"
Alicia and Sifeng looked at each other and nodded.
"Li Yuan, we've confirmed that according to your message, we directly arrived at the stone chamber in the gorge. " Si Feng said excitedly: "Along the way, there were no more obstacles, and those black beasts you mentioned did not attack us again."
"That's good." Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
After passing on the news of the stone chamber to Wuma Nong, Li Yuan also directly passed it on to Ailisiya and Si Feng.
Because they were both members of Xinghuo Wudian, they naturally gained more trust from Li Yuan.
Tell them the reason.
Just want to let them try, once they reach the bottom of the valley, whether they will encounter another attack by the black alien beast... The result is quite ideal, perhaps it's because those alien leaders have been killed by Li Yuan.
Cifer and Alicia followed Li Yuan's guidance and easily arrived at the Divine Crystal Chamber without encountering any attacks.
"I've transmitted the test results back to the war base." Alicia also said, "However, we have no way of confirming whether the Five Elements Divine Crystal energy inside the stone chamber is renewable or not."
"The instruments they're carrying now can't test it either," Alicia said.
"It doesn't matter, the higher-ups will probably rearrange things anyway." Li Yuan said: "We'll do what we're supposed to do, and as for the rest, it's not our problem."
"Uh-huh." Alicia nodded involuntarily.
She understood Li Yuan's meaning... whether it was a large-scale exploration of the boundary or detection of the stone chamber, neither could be accomplished by just the few of them who were at the level of martial arts masters.
It takes the mobilization of an entire civilization to accomplish this.
An individual's strength is great, able to fight against a hundred or even a thousand in a head-on battle... but in many other auxiliary aspects of work, one person can hardly complete all the work.
"Stone room?"
"What's that?" Kumazawa and Kurosaki looked at each other in confusion, completely unable to understand.
"Don't be in a hurry."
"Just wait for the news above, and you will know." Li Yuan smiled and swept his gaze over the four people: "Alright, everything is settled. Gu Yue Shen Guo hasn't sent a top-notch genius in such a long time, so they shouldn't send another one in a short period of time."
"I've decided, let's head into the Divine Palace Ruins immediately." Li Yuan pointed towards the distance.
"So soon?"
"Shouldn't we wait any longer? Or should we send some of the source warriors to make a breakthrough first?" Elisia, Si Feng and the others were all somewhat surprised.
"We already have information on the Ryūen family."
"It's pointless to send more warriors from Genpou for testing, and it might even lead to greater losses." Li Yuan shook his head.
"However, the Liyan family's past dispatched warriors shouldn't be as strong as me." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile: "Perhaps, I can make new discoveries."
"You can wait for the result of my adventure." Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Good." Everyone nodded in agreement, not feeling at all that Li Yuan was bragging.
Even Li Yuan felt somewhat modest.
"Be careful." Alicia looked at Li Yuan and couldn't help but whisper: "Come back alive."
Historically, the descendants of the Flame Family who were sent out had a significantly lower mortality rate due to their special bloodline... but still more than a quarter of them died in the Divine Palace Ruins.
Li Yuan glanced at Alicia's face and smiled slightly: "I will."
One minute later.
Alicia, Sifeng and Kross watched as Li Yuan entered the fiery red palace shrouded in countless brilliant lights.
Until out of sight.
"We've entered the Divine Palace." Elysia murmured, a thread of worry flashing through her mind.
"Alicia, do you like this Li Yuan?" A childish voice echoed in her mind.
"Maybe." Alicia said calmly, her personality had always been straightforward.
"Haha, then you have to work hard." The childish voice laughed and said: "I can feel it, his physical fitness and mental strength seem to be stronger than before."
"Li Yuan is even stronger than before?" Alicia was taken aback.
It's just been one day.
"Never mind." Alicia changed the subject: "Xiao Xing, we should head back to the Stone Chamber."
"Right, right! Hurry back." The childish voice suddenly became excited: "Haha, such a divine crystal chamber... This is the core of the entire Yuan force array, it must be set up by the gods themselves, extremely valuable."
"Stay inside."
"With my help, combined with your talent... hmm, we should be able to quickly cultivate the 'Water Movement Universal Body Technique' to its current limit." The tender voice said: "At that time, you will comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth even faster."
"What a pity."
"I had guessed that you have the potential of an Eight-Star General, but to bring it out... with my help, at least you'll reach Flying General level." The young voice said emotionally.
"'The Waterway of All Things', is it really as powerful as you say?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.
About this astrology, she had heard Xiao Xing boast too many times.
"That's natural."
"Don't you believe me?" Xiaoxing said solemnly, "You have to understand that in this endless dimensional river, the most widely spread are the nine 'Strongest Enlightenment Star Techniques', such as the 'True Explanation of the Earth Star Pulse' and the 'True Explanation of the Heavenly River Star Pulse'... Although ordinary cultivators can also cultivate these nine star techniques, if they don't cultivate them to the extreme limit, the effect will be ordinary instead."
"Like Tianhe Star Pulse True Explanation, I also have the cultivation method of the first three stages, but I never thought of letting you cultivate."
"I taught you the 'Water Flowing Through All Things' technique, which is an eight-star technique. Although it can't compare to the strongest star techniques... but looking at the vast expanse of the dimensional river, if you can cultivate it to completion, it's also top-notch." Xiaoxing said solemnly: "When you enter the Flying Heaven realm and thoroughly excavate the potential of your star veins, cultivating it to the third-stage limit."
"Your chances of becoming a demigod will increase greatly."
"Listen, do as I say, and hurry up." Little Star said repeatedly.
"Good."
Every super strong man has his own great opportunity on the road of rising and growing.
For Alicia.
Compared with the Shinto shrine ruins, this mysterious stone chamber may be a more important discovery.
……
The Temple Ruins are a series of palaces with a brilliant aura surrounding them, and countless yellow sands raging.
The exterior of the palace is all crimson, and under the scorching sun, it looks ancient and weathered.
According to the intelligence guidance of the Lieyan family.
Li Yuan entered the range of the Divine Palace Ruins, and in the darkness, there seemed to be an invisible force suppressing him, causing his divine sense to only be able to extend a few dozen meters.
"It's really mysterious." Li Yuan thought to himself, as he went deeper into the palace complex, his gaze stretching out, but the yellow sand and radiance blocked his view, making it impossible to see other palaces.
Can't see the reflection outside the palace group anymore.
"It should be here." Li Yuan said after passing through some small halls on the periphery and avoiding the other three main halls.
Finally arrived at a rather desolate square, the main hall stood towering and majestic on the layered steps at the end of the square, with a width of about hundreds of meters and a height of about 100 meters.
Li Yuan stopped at the entrance of the square.
"As the Flame Emperor's family says."
"They had sent many people into the four great halls, but in the other three great halls... all were dead, not a single person came back alive."
"Only this main hall has a unique aura, containing great secrets." Li Yuan stared at the majestic main hall.
The gate towered several dozen meters high, yet it was wide open, ancient and heavy, but Li Yuan couldn't see the interior scene.
"In that year, Yan Cheng, the Half-God, inadvertently broke into this place and obtained great benefits from this main hall, soaring to the sky and eventually becoming a half-god." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.
"Lingyue seems to be involved in this too."
"I don't know what's waiting for me." Li Yuan stepped into the square and walked towards the temple.
