Chapter 150: The Transformation of Power

Chapter 150: The Transformation of Power



In the quiet of the night, Li Yuan's mind was exceptionally clear as he sat in the basement of his villa.

After thoroughly reading through the brief introduction of 'A Brief on Life Star Awakening', Li Yuan continued to delve into the main text and numerous annotations of the seven advanced cultivation techniques.

Among these annotations, many were left by Dongfang Ji, who was known for his straightforwardness.

"The human body is like a universe, containing countless stars within. These stars are divided into Life Star Veins and Dormant Star Veins."

"The star veins within different races and beings from various times and civilizations differ vastly, each unique in their own way."

"The number and position of Life Stars vary greatly, so the 'Star Vein Cultivation Methods' gathered from various races can only serve as references and cannot be directly applied."

"Creating a new method is essential."

"Although there are differences among individuals of the human race, the number and position of star veins within the body are generally the same... However, the number of Life Stars and Life Star Veins in each person's body will differ... But there are commonalities, and many people are born with the same Life Star Veins." Li Yuan read through numerous footnotes.

He had come to understand the fundamental differences between the seven advanced cultivation techniques.

There might be thousands or even tens of thousands of star veins in the human body, and the vast majority of them are Dormant Star Veins.

Dormant Star Veins cannot be cultivated.

Only Life Star Veins matter!!

"Creating a cultivation method means awakening and absorbing Source Energy through self-awakening of Life Star Veins." Li Yuan had a sudden realization: "The seven advanced cultivation techniques developed by human civilization are, in fact, a search for the common Life Star Veins shared by a large number of humans, thereby imprinting mental marks and thoroughly awakening the Life Stars."

However.

Even if the star veins in the body are the same, individual differences remain significant. As of now, the seven advanced cultivation techniques can only resonate with less than one-tenth of the human population.

...

"The number of Life Star Veins and Life Stars determines the level of potential."

"Some beings may have hundreds of Life Star Veins, but if the number of Life Stars on each vein is less than 12,960... It's destined that they won't be able to cultivate Source Energy, and even with external assistance, becoming an Essence Warrior is out of reach."

"A small number of people might have only a few dozen or even a few Life Star Veins, but each vein contains over 60,000 or even 90,000 Life Stars... According to information from other civilizations, the legendary perfect talent is said to have 129,600 Life Stars on a single vein."

"This kind of talent is extremely rare and is known as a Perfect Star Vein."

"If such a perfect Life Star Vein is fully awakened, it could rival multiple initially awakened Life Star Veins..." As Li Yuan read this annotation, his heart was shaken, and he began to understand his body's condition.

He made a certain speculation.

"A Perfect Star Vein?"

"The 'Spiritual Guidance' of the Divine Palace of the Mind helped me achieve this perfect star vein and so many Life Stars in one night." Li Yuan was puzzled: "Was it the help of the Divine Palace of the Mind, or is it my own innate talent?"

Li Yuan leaned towards his own innate talent.

Because Li Yuan clearly remembered.

In the Life Star space, those wisps of purple mist had helped him perceive the vast and endless Life Star space, quickly distinguishing between Life Stars and Dormant Stars.

Thus, he imprinted his mental mark and awakened!

Moreover, Li Yuan also recalled that during that brief moment of sensing and observation.

The number of 'Life Stars' he had imprinted was only a small portion, and there were still countless stars emitting faint light in the Life Star space, yet to be awakened.

There was no other way; Li Yuan's mental power was only this strong at the moment.

To differentiate so many thoughts and awaken 129,600 Life Stars in one go was already his limit.

"In other words."

"If not for the spiritual guidance, under normal circumstances, after becoming an Essence Warrior, I might be able to sense the Life Star space and perhaps awaken some Life Star Veins." Li Yuan understood that it wouldn't be so quick and that he couldn't fully awaken and perfect this star vein in a short time.

...

"Spiritual guidance has helped me uncover my innate talent for Source Energy, which was already exceptionally high." Li Yuan pondered silently.

This was of utmost importance.

All things have a spirit, and throughout history, countless individuals with extraordinary talent have been lost among the masses due to the lack of compatible advanced cultivation techniques. It's like taking an exceptionally intelligent person and leaving them alone in the wilderness; the best outcome is for them to become a wild man.

External conditions are more critical than innate talent.

"Next, as my mental power continues to improve, I'll be able to gradually try to awaken Life Stars on my own." Li Yuan eagerly anticipated this.

The strength of one's mental power is closely related to the number of Life Stars they can awaken.

This is why warriors place great importance on mental power.

...

"Awakening this star vein can be considered my initial attempt at creating a cultivation method." Li Yuan smiled, "What should I name it?"

"The seven advanced cultivation techniques are all based on the attributes of Source Energy."

As the star veins circulate, they absorb a large amount of external Source Energy. While most of it is gradually absorbed by the body, a significant portion remains stored within the star veins.

These source energies were capable of rapidly healing injuries and significantly boosting vitality. They could be channeled into weapons, enhancing their sharpness and durability, and could even be used to empower source energy battle armor, among other miraculous effects.

The type of source energy one cultivated was influenced by their innate talents and the specific life star veins they awakened. For instance, human essence warriors who resonated with the "Leyi Fentian Scripture" cultivated fire source energy. Those who practiced the "Nanming Wanshui Scripture" cultivated water source energy, and those who followed the "Houtu Starlight Scripture" cultivated earth source energy.

"It seems that the golden source energy displayed by Luo Buhai in his video, when he unleashed his power against Jing He, was indeed golden source energy." Li Yuan thought to himself, "With the ability to project source energy, it's no wonder he could rival a sky-walking warrior with his exceptional talent."

Over the centuries, humans had developed seven advanced cultivation methods, two for earth source energy, two for water source energy, and one each for fire, gold, and wood source energies.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five most common types of source energy."

"The vast majority of essence warriors who successfully create their cultivation methods will cultivate one of these five types of source energy."

Each person's cultivated source energy was unique, but they generally fell into these five categories.

"However, there are a few exceptional essence warriors and sky-walking warriors whose cultivated source energy is completely different from these five types." Li Yuan looked down at his fingertips.

A faint, pale yellow light flickered across Li Yuan's fingertips, feeling cool to the touch.

Li Yuan could sense that if he were to unleash his power, the source energy would greatly enhance his abilities.

"The star vein I've awakened seems to produce earth source energy based on its appearance."

"But compared to the descriptions in various materials, there seems to be a slight difference." Li Yuan frowned slightly, "The color is much lighter."

This was unusual.

Typically, earth source energy was deep in color, but the energy Li Yuan cultivated was much lighter, almost transparent if not observed closely.

"Never mind."

"I'll pretend to have successfully created my cultivation method after becoming an essence warrior and then ask Dean Hai about it." Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Revealing this ability now would lead to many complications.

However, once he became an essence warrior, exposing some of his secrets would be less problematic. The higher-ups of human civilization would simply attribute it to his exceptional talent.

After all, history was filled with extraordinary individuals like Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji.

Just as people would marvel at someone growing to a height of 2.5 meters or even 3 meters, attributing it to genetic mutation.

But if that person grew wings and could fly, they would undoubtedly be taken for research.

"By circulating my star vein, I can draw upon a small amount of source energy, which is still far less than what an essence warrior can do." Li Yuan closed his eyes, sensing the trace amount of source energy within his star vein, "But it's enough for me to activate source energy weapons and battle armor when needed."

In life-or-death situations, when enemies underestimated Li Yuan as a first-rank life form, he could suddenly unleash his source energy, resulting in a significant power boost.

This was his trump card, not to be revealed lightly.

"I'll name this newly created cultivation method 'Multiverse Stars'." Li Yuan casually came up with a name.

Li Yuan felt that a perfectly awakened star vein could also be called 'Multiverse Stars'.

His goal was to awaken more life star veins and life stars in the future.

...

After creating the source energy cultivation method "Multiverse Stars," Li Yuan's daily life became more tranquil.

Time passed, and days went by.

He attended general studies, practiced his gun techniques, received guidance from Teacher Li Yang, engaged in practical training, and consumed high-origin spirit spring water.

And every night, after practicing his visualization technique, Li Yuan would retreat to the basement, circulate his star vein, and frantically absorb source energy, rapidly enhancing his physical qualities.

...

"Mental power is of utmost importance," Li Yuan emphasized, "Whether it's improving my gun technique or awakening life star veins, mental power takes precedence."

"I must continue to push my willpower to its limits."

"Gun technique, fist technique, and body technique." Li Yuan trained tirelessly.

"My top priority now is to raise all three to the 99% mark of the fourth rank."

Li Yuan's skills were steadily improving as well.

...

One day in mid-November.

In a large martial arts hall within the Black Dragon Building.

"Class dismissed," Li Yang announced, leaving the classroom.

The twenty-four students in the class stood up and chatted as they made their way out.

Indeed, since Li Yuan's enrollment four months ago, Teacher Li Yang had gained several more 'elite' students, mostly from the fourth and fifth years.

This was a common occurrence; the longer students practiced, the more likely they were to breakthrough after being stuck at the fourth rank for several years.

"Shi Xiao."

"Are you free tonight? It's our monthly holiday, how about we go to Feng Jing for the day?" A tall young man chased after Shi Xiao, asking.

The other students smiled, finding the situation amusing but not unusual.

In this era, people could get married at 19, so there were few marriages in universities, but there were many dating couples... especially among elite students like them. Firstly, they had considerable wealth, and secondly, their future as warriors was destined to be filled with danger, making it easy to die in battle. Hence, many had open-minded attitudes.

Many had three to five boyfriends or girlfriends.

"Ou Xue, I have plans tonight," Shi Xiao said indifferently. "Stop bothering me."

"Who?" Ou Xue frowned.

"Is it Li Yuan, your junior?" Shi Xiao suddenly turned to Li Yuan, "Yesterday, I invited you to Feng Jing for a day, and you agreed."

Li Yuan, who was discussing the Mind's Eye with Qiu Jing, was startled. How did this involve him?

Qiu Jing, standing beside him, stiffened.

"Senior Shi Xiao..." Li Yuan was about to speak.

"You agreed?" Shi Xiao smiled and walked up to Li Yuan, intimately hugging his arm, intending to pull him away.

At the same time, a faint voice sounded in Li Yuan's ear, "Li Yuan, help me get out of this."

Li Yuan frowned.

He didn't move, and Shi Xiao gently tugged, but Li Yuan seemed unmovable.

This scene surprised the surrounding students.

Shi Xiao's physical qualities were above Rank 17, yet she couldn't move Li Yuan? Was she not using her strength?

"Senior Ou Xue."

Li Yuan turned back with a smile, "I promised Senior Shi Xiao to accompany her to Feng Jing for the day, but don't worry, there's nothing between us. You can pursue her."

Ou Xue's expression softened slightly, and he forced a smile, "Okay."

He didn't want to offend Li Yuan.

Who didn't know about Li Yuan's terrifying talent? He was highly likely to become a Skywalker in the future.

Shi Xiao's smile froze for a moment.

Huff! Huff!

All the students exited the Black Dragon Building and boarded their aircraft, scattering in different directions.

"Senior, I helped you, so let go now," Li Yuan said softly.

"Okay."

"Thank you, Junior," Shi Xiao smiled, then added playfully, "But Li Yuan, why did you explain so clearly to Ou Xue? In a few days, he'll be pestering me again."

"That's your problem," Li Yuan smiled, "I'll be going now."

As he spoke, Li Yuan strode forward and leaped onto his aircraft, quickly departing.

Shi Xiao's smile faded, and she seemed slightly resentful.

"Senior, it seems your plan didn't work. Li Yuan won't fall for that," a mocking voice sounded, and Qiu Jing approached with a mysterious smile.

"It's none of your business."

Shi Xiao scoffed, "Little brat, you act cute all day and pretend to ask for guidance. At least I'm better than you."

"You're known for your promiscuity in the academy. Do you really think Li Yuan will accept you?" Qiu Jing said indifferently.

Shi Xiao coldly snorted, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

With Li Yuan's rise, many believed he would become a Skywalker in the future.

Within the school, there were quite a few female students who wanted to pursue him.

However, most of them struggled even to meet him.

Shi Xiao and Qiu Jing, as 'senior sisters' from the same sect, often attended classes together, making them the closest to Li Yuan and the two most motivated to pursue him.

"Fine."

"Let's see your methods," Shi Xiao sneered.

"Goodbye, Senior," Qiu Jing smiled and quickly left on her aircraft.

"You little brat, acting so innocent in front of me," Shi Xiao glared at Qiu Jing's departing figure.

After a while, when everyone else had left, Ou Xue, who had been pursuing Shi Xiao, came out and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what about the matter you agreed to earlier?"

"Your acting was terrible. Li Yuan didn't fall for it. We'll talk about your request next time," Shi Xiao huffed and walked away.

...

In the depths of the Six College Villa District, at the residence of Dean Hai.

On the lawn, Dean Hai was leisurely sunbathing.

"Dean," Li Yang, who had just finished class, jumped off his aircraft and approached respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Dean Hai asked, fanning himself with his eyes closed.

"Li Yuan's physical qualities have surpassed Rank 15," Li Yang said. "His techniques, movement skills, and gun techniques have all reached the Fourth Stage limit."

"He's met the minimum requirement to go to the Ming Xu Star Realm."

"So soon?" Dean Hai opened his eyes, a hint of Li Yuan's hair, surprise flashing in his eyes. "In just one month, his physical qualities improved by one rank?"

"Is the Starlight Earth Core Crystal so compatible with him?"
