All living beings, after their spiritual power breaks through level 20, will have an astonishing perception of themselves and the outside world.
Because of their strong spirit, the source warriors' souls can more easily perceive their entire body, achieving a state of spiritual subtlety.
The spirit and life level are the foundation, the stronger the foundation, the easier it is to comprehend and refine skills.
What about Li Yuan?
His spiritual power reached 24.8 levels, comparable to a mid-level Origin Qi Master, and most importantly, his skills were extremely high.
Dehai Dean pointed out the practice of "Starry Intention", and also got Lei Dean, Xu Dean and others to personally demonstrate the "Unity of Heaven and Man" move many times.
It made him have some concept of 'heaven and man unity'.
Just can't break through that layer of window paper.
The mind is highly sensitive and thoroughly controls the subtlest forces of the body, essentially a kind of ultimate human physical skill that can hardly be surpassed.
Further on is skill that approaches Tao.
To pursue some of the natural mysteries that are profound and abstruse between heaven and earth, this is 'the unity of heaven and man', which cannot be broken through by simply having a high physical talent.
A deeper spiritual awakening.
Back in Jiangcheng for half a month.
Li Yuan's mental shock was subjected to intense changes one after another, much more complicated than the several months in college.
The tide of fish spirits, an unprecedented impact on Jiang City.
Patrolling the city at night, a life-and-death struggle with a second-tier alien species.
The teacher is dying and entrusts his orphaned student to himself.
One after another, it's imaginable how much of a blow these were to 18-year-old Li Yuan's mind.
Human talent is divided into innate talent and acquired talent.
Innate is fixed, but acquired is shaped by countless experiences. Many people may have ordinary talents, but after being tempered by worldly affairs, they can gradually transform their minds and achieve great accomplishments.
Life experiences are very important.
Li Yuan's natural talent was extremely high. From the beginning of his middle school experience, he was constantly forging and polishing his spirit, which allowed him to break through even faster as time went on.
It can be said that even without the "Spiritual Temple", Li Yuan's physical progress would have been slow, but his skills would have improved faster and faster. If he could become a Chengyuan Wuzhe at the age of 30 or 40, he would still have had a chance to soar to great heights... But that is another path.
But reality is.
With the help of Xīn Líng Shén Gōng, Li Yuan's transformation speed was more than ten times faster than normal cultivation, and various accumulations were also much faster.
Until today.
Upon returning from the ceremony of receiving the 'First-Class Silver Medal', I sit on the rooftop, quietly gazing at the peaceful scenery of this mountain and river city.
Under the starry sky.
Li Yuan's mind gradually fell into a very special state, and he vaguely sensed the many profound and immeasurable mysteries hidden in this vast universe.
More vaguely feel the smallness of oneself.
"Heaven and earth with me." Li Yuan's soul was completely immersed, his heartbeat slowed down, his heart became more peaceful, and he gradually entered a state of "forgetting oneself".
Gradually.
Innumerable thoughts about "The Starry Night" surge up in my mind.
Li Yuan only felt that he had become a ordinary star in the vast universe... The stars are vast, the earth is boundless... But the stars are placed in the endless universe and are very small, like dust.
This is a stark contrast.
Vast! Tiny! Forming a wonderful contrast and unity.
"The universe is vast, and compared to it, even the majestic stars are but tiny dust."
"As Dean Hai said, even if the flying warrior is capable of moving mountains and seas, or flying through the sky and escaping into the earth, he is still just a slightly larger ant."
"This vastness between heaven and earth is worth pursuing for a lifetime." Li Yuan sat quietly there, countless thoughts and epiphanies emerging.
Enlightenment!
This kind of spiritual transformation, in this special environment, makes Li Yuan and the surrounding heaven and earth fall into a perfect combination.
"However."
"The vastness of the universe, I am still me. Perhaps the light of human civilization in the cosmos is just a fleeting spark."
"Perhaps, the vast stars are just cosmic dust."
"But I also have my own will, though small, it must still bloom with its own radiance." Li Yuan quietly felt all of this.
He only felt that in the spiritual world, the star he had transformed into was becoming more and more dazzling, more and more radiant.
No matter how vast the starry sky is, it still can't stop one's own radiance from bursting out.
The intention of the stars - Second layer: The dust of the stars is subtle!
At the same time.
Buzz~
In silence, Li Yuan's spiritual consciousness seemed to leave his body and enter the vast expanse of heaven and earth... Unity of Heaven and Man.
The union has never been physical.
But the soul.
The heart is as big as the universe, only with a strong enough spirit can you go far enough.
In an instant, when Li Yuan's heart merged with heaven and earth.
"Hum..." A surge of power from the origin of heaven and earth nourished Li Yuan's spiritual consciousness, causing his spirit and spiritual consciousness to undergo a drastic transformation.
"My soul." Li Yuan felt extremely relieved, and he could sense his spiritual power constantly transforming.
Spiritual power is the soul.
The growth of the soul is mainly dependent on the nourishment of the flesh, but once a skill reaches the level of 'unity of heaven and man', the vast expanse of the universe can also nurture the soul.
Spirit and skill are always complementary to each other, rather than one achieving the other.
Even so.
Under Li Yuan's special mental state, his mind involuntarily guided the circulation of the stellar meridians, and a large amount of yuan force surged into his body, causing his physical quality to also undergo constant transformation.
……
This night passed extremely quickly for Li Yuan.
When he came out of that special state, the whole person's temperament had changed slightly.
In the distance between heaven and earth, a thread of dawn has already appeared.
"Soul?" Li Yuan opened his eyes and felt that the scenery in front of him had undergone some subtle changes, becoming more spiritual and more vivid.
The whole world seemed to have come alive.
"My spiritual power and physical body?" Li Yuan seemed to have realized something belatedly, subconsciously glancing at the Divine Palace panel.
——
Life Rank: 16.5 (First Tier)
Punching force: 218,000 kilograms
Speed: 66.2 m/s
Spiritual Power: 26.6 grade
Willpower: Level 30
Spiritual Awakening Degree: 25.4% (Current Upper Limit 30%)
Stellar Vein: Level 10
Mastery Boundary: Marksmanship (4th stage 99%), Body Technique (5th stage 1%), Fist Technique (Perfection)
……
Watching the data changes on the Shengong panel, Li Yuan was stunned for a long time.
"Is this what they mean by 'heaven and man in one'?"
"It's said that with skills at the fifth level, it's enough to become a Yuan Wu in a year. I didn't believe it before, but... " Li Yuan felt a sense of incredulity in his heart.
Just one night.
Life level has been upgraded by 0.4! Spiritual power has also increased by more than 1 level.
Even his spiritual will had unknowingly transformed into level 30, which was already at the Flying Heaven level.
Although this was Li Yuan's first 'unity of heaven and man', it was just like the first time he operated the Star Pulse, the power of heaven and earth nourished his body and soul with a very good effect.
But the effect is also extremely exaggerated.
It can be foreseen.
In the following period of time, Li Yuan's physical and mental strength will grow at an even more exaggerated speed.
"The Quan Fa has been thoroughly perfected, representing my ultimate control over the body." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and with a slight movement of his mind, countless subtle forces all reached perfection.
No more obstacles.
Even so, the mind can easily seep out of the body and perceive the many mysteries between heaven and earth.
The skill is so high that it's almost like the Tao!
At just eighteen years old, Li Yuan's skills have already progressed in that direction.
"Eighteen years and four months."
"Wu Duan Tian Ren." Li Yuan still sat quietly on the rooftop, gazing out at the wisps of clouds at the edge of the sky: "At this level, in the entire history of human civilization, it should be considered extremely fast."
Perhaps there are even more freaks like Fang Hai, who achieved unity with heaven and man at the age of sixteen.
But that's an exception, and there aren't many in human civilization history.
Moreover, compared with Fang Hai's two-year journey from 4 dan to 5 dan... Li Yuan's one-and-a-half-year journey from 3 dan to 5 dan is even more exaggerated and frightening.
"What a pity."
"Failed to let the teacher see this scene." Li Yuan's heart was slightly dim: "If the teacher could know, he would definitely be extremely happy."
That night, when fighting against the second-tier alien with his teacher, Li Yuan could feel that his teacher was extremely happy and excited.
The master teaches his apprentice, and what he looks forward to most is the day when his apprentice surpasses him.
"Teacher."
"I will definitely bring your expectations to the pinnacle of the global high school martial arts tournament. Until one day, I stand at the pinnacle of human civilization's martial arts." Li Yuan's eyes shone brightly, facing the dawn.
Pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts.
This is Li Yuan's aspiration.
……
First set foot in the realm of heaven and man.
Li Yuan didn't rush to tell others, but instead returned to the underground martial arts room.
The lights are shining brightly.
"Hei Chen Gun." Li Yuan grasped his own weapon, silently feeling the flow of energy within it.
Wow!
The long spear danced, and Li Yuan once again displayed the Starlight Spear Technique, with a continuous flow of spear movements that were vast and magnificent.
It seems unchanged from the past.
However, if a keen-eyed expert observes carefully, they will be shocked to discover that Li Yuan's shooting style has an additional special rhythm.
As if the gun had come alive!
"The Mood of the Stars."
"This is the true meaning of Starlight Intent." Li Yuan practiced repeatedly, wanting to fully integrate his own understanding into the Starlight Gun Technique.
When skill is near the Way, distinctions between techniques and weapons become negligible.
The five major killing moves of "Stellar Gun Technique" are already versatile and sufficient for use.
Like "The Starry Night", it's more about a kind of "mood", a sense of harmony with the universe.
It's just!
Even if Li Yuan practiced repeatedly, his gun technique's power and numbers were much stronger than before, but on his divine panel, his gun technique was still stuck at 4th stage 99%.
"Just relying on practice might be a bit lacking in meaning, let's try fighting." Li Yuan seemed to have an idea.
Enter the rest room and enter the virtual network cabin.
Log in to Star Sky Grid Fighting Network.
……
"It's been a long time since you've come, Master." The girl, like a sprite, fluttered about, her voice trembling with excitement.
"It's been a while." Li Yuan smiled calmly.
Since the soul entered the microcosm and joined the Starry Sky Battle Network, the time spent on battles has drastically decreased.
Sometimes when I'm in the mood, I'll come in and play a few ranked matches.
"Drop ~" Li Yuan clicked to view his own ranking match data:
Ranking match: Sun-erased ranking.
Points: 784 points (1000 points required to participate in the promotion match)
Winning percentage: 69%
……
"Rank Match." Li Yuan clicked on Rank Match, wanting to find a master who could verify the idea in his mind.
Only twenty seconds later.
"Rank match successful." System prompt.
"This time it's still quite fast, I thought it would take a few more minutes to match." Li Yuan smiled.
……
Time flies, match after match is held, facing a master of the mind, Li Yuan easily wins one victory after another.
Victory! Victory! Victory!
Unstoppable!
Li Yuan's marksmanship seems to still be stuck at 99% in four segments.
But with his body technique that had already broken through to the fifth stage, he possessed almost invincible combat power in the Sun-Devouring Stage.
But today.
Perhaps there is a kind of fate, Li Yuan's ranking match is also unusually smooth.
The more he fights, the smoother he becomes.
In an hour, he won fourteen battles in a row. His shooting skills became more and more fierce, faster and more violent.
Finally.
In the 15th round of battle, Li Yuan suffered a system penalty and finally encountered a 'superior grade' super expert, who was a true five-grade master.
This battle was completely one-sided.
Li Yuan wielded his long spear, repeatedly with difficulty parrying the opponent's war knife. If not for his body technique breaking through to five segments, he would have lost already.
"Huh?"
As another sword flashed and chopped, Li Yuan finally couldn't block it in time. Subconsciously, the long spear in his hand suddenly burst out, vaguely stirring a mysterious power between heaven and earth.
The stock price skyrocketed instantly.
"Clang!" The long spear and war knife collided, Li Yuan was chopped back.
Li Yuan was taken aback.
Another flash of the knife passed by, and Li Yuan's entire body was reduced to nothingness.
However.
Just before disappearing, Li Yuan's face revealed a hint of a smile, his mouth opened as if to say 'thank you'.
On Li Yuan's divine panel, a new prompt had emerged: "【Your marksmanship realm has been upgraded from 4th stage 99% to 5th stage 1%】."
……
At the same time Li Yuan ended this war.
"Important Notice."
"Li Yuan, a 18-year-old from Xia Guo, has demonstrated the power of 'Tian Di' in his latest virtual battle, and is suspected to have reached the fifth stage of his skills." A message was sent out by the Xing Kong Ge Dou network's intelligent system.
As an S-level priority message, it was directly transmitted to Xinghuo Martial Temple, Xingkong Martial Temple, and the Xia Country Martial Hall.
