Chapter 223: Ninefold Star Veins! The Star Lord's Teachings!



"You don't?" Li Yuan was surprised, as he had thought Fang Hai would be able to achieve it.

After all, from the previous incident where Fang Hai killed the Skysoaring Realm hidden assassin 'Shadow', it was evident that Fang Hai's strength had reached an extremely terrifying level.

"Li Yuan, even a 37th-level Skysoaring Realm cultivator is only foundationally close to a 40th-level Demigod." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, seemed to understand Li Yuan's confusion and smiled, "But to truly match a Demigod is extremely difficult."

"Moreover, having strength comparable to a Demigod and being able to kill a Demigod are two different concepts."

"Our Seven Stars Human Civilization has come into contact with many exotic civilizations. For a Skysoaring Realm cultivator to kill a Demigod... the difficulty is terrifying."

"It's not just about having a foundation of six or seven star veins, but also having several of them be of extremely high quality, or even perfect star veins." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, explained, "Only then can one cultivate certain extremely powerful star arts."

"Perfect star veins? Principal Fang Hai, what are star arts?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Perfect star veins, as described in the Starfire database, were mentioned in the overview left by the predecessor Dongfang Ji.

But star arts?

It was only just now that Li Yuan learned about star arts from Dean Hai.

"The human body is like a universe, and the Life Star is the essence and treasure within it, while the star veins are the core." Fang Hai calmly explained, "Origin Warriors can only leave a small amount of Origin Energy in the star veins, and they primarily rely on their physical bodies for combat."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed, even top-tier Origin Warriors mainly fought with their physical bodies.

Physical strength was limited, while the power of heaven and earth was boundless.

"Once you enter the Skysoaring Realm... the Origin Energy becomes robust, circulating within the body's meridians. It's as if everything has a source, and the Life Star also undergoes a shocking transformation, with the star veins becoming like a real universe capable of performing special calculations and unleashing true power..."

"This is the essence of star arts." Fang Hai continued, "Because everyone's understanding of true intention and laws is different... the star arts they can cultivate will naturally vary."

"For example, Shadow cultivates 'Clone' and 'Stealth' star arts, making him an extremely formidable assassin." Fang Hai explained.

Li Yuan had a vague idea about his future.

It seemed that only Skysoaring Realm cultivators could cultivate star arts.

"Star arts are cultivated based on star veins, and the cultivation requirements are extremely strict." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, smiled beside him, "You're at the 19th level too, and you understand the difference between creating laws. A star vein that has just awakened 12,960 Life Stars is different from one that has awakened 129,600 Life Stars..."

"They're not the same." Li Yuan shook his head.

"The stronger the star veins, the more terrifying the power they can unleash." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, said solemnly, "We usually refer to newly awakened star veins as single-fold star veins."

"For each star vein, every additional 12,960 Life Stars awakened will lead to a qualitative transformation, gradually advancing to double-fold star veins, triple-fold star veins... until the legendary perfect star veins, also known as ninefold star veins."

"Some terrifying star arts, like the 'Golden Body of Ten Thousand Treasures' cultivated by Dongfang Ji in our Seven Stars Human Civilization, require a sevenfold star vein as its core." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, sighed, "Even among Demigods, there are only a few who can cultivate it."

"It's legendary."

"There are also some ultimate star arts that require ninefold star veins to cultivate." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, sighed, "Such ultimate star arts, we have obtained several incomplete ones in our civilization... but no one has been able to cultivate them."

"In our Seven Stars Human Civilization, over time, we have produced some Demigods and a large number of Skysoaring Realm cultivators... among them are some geniuses with six-fold star veins."

"But to advance a single star vein to ninefold? None have been born yet." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, shook his head.

"Sevenfold star veins are legendary."

"Advancing a single star vein to the ninefold level is also legendary."

On the surface, Li Yuan looked 'dumbfounded', seemingly filled with admiration.

But in his heart, his pulse was racing.

Li Yuan really wanted to say that no one in the human civilization could cultivate it, but he could!

Ninefold star veins? It's nothing!

I've awakened a perfect star vein!

However, limited by his current 19th level, Li Yuan couldn't say anything... Moreover, from the information revealed by Bai Shan, the Star Lord, and Principal Fang Hai, Li Yuan could infer the wonders of the Divine Palace.

A single spiritual guidance had led him to awaken a perfect star vein? Although the vast number of unawakened Life Stars were his innate potential, without the guidance of the Divine Palace, it would have been difficult to fully awaken them on his own.

Talent is talent.

Turning talent into reality is the true measure of strength.

The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that not revealing the Divine Palace was a good thing.

Of course, Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry to obtain the few incomplete ultimate star arts possessed by the higher-ups of the civilization.

He was only at the 19th level.

He could wait until he became a Skysoaring Realm cultivator before figuring out a way to obtain them.

"Senior, can I understand that to increase the limit of physical Origin Energy, one must awaken more star veins?" Li Yuan summarized, "But to cultivate powerful star arts, one must make a single star vein extremely strong."

"Yes." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, smiled, "Both the quantity and quality of star veins are important."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The number of star veins increased the lower limit of strength. For example, even without cultivating powerful star arts, one could easily defeat a 35th-level Skysoaring Realm peak cultivator by relying on a strong foundation after cultivating to the 36th or 37th level.

The quality of star veins, on the other hand, increased the upper limit of strength.

Only with a strong foundation and the combination of formidable star arts could one achieve transcending battles.

"The number of star veins and Life Stars are complementary." Bai Shan, the Star Lord, smiled, "Usually, a six-fold star vein genius can awaken one or even two main star veins to sevenfold or higher."

"Sevenfold star veins?" Li Yuan wondered, "Is that strong?"

But he agreed with Bai Shan, the Star Lord's theory. Only by awakening a sufficient number of Life Stars could one awaken more star veins... Like himself, many of the currently awakened Life Stars were isolated.

In the future...

As he awakens more star veins, many seemingly insignificant life stars may actually belong to a new life star vein, making it easier to awaken a new star vein in the future.

...

Li Yuan had an in-depth conversation with the Star Lord of White Mountain and Principal Fang Hai.

Through this, he gained a profound understanding of star arts and star veins.

He finally realized the most important thing for an Origin Warrior—to awaken more life stars! The more, the better.

"The earlier you awaken star veins, the better." Principal Fang Hai spoke calmly, "The Origin Warrior stage is the fastest for awakening... Once you reach the Flying Heaven Realm, you can continue awakening star veins, but the difficulty will skyrocket... By the time you become a Demigod, your foundation will be set, and it's almost impossible to make further changes."

Li Yuan was enlightened. So that's how it is.

No wonder the Star Lord of White Mountain wasn't in a hurry to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.

"Pushing the star veins from the first level to the second and third levels isn't too difficult. You can wait until you enter the Flying Heaven Realm to continue." The Star Lord of White Mountain explained, "But in terms of the number of star veins, it will basically be fixed during the Flying Heaven Realm... This is a significant matter concerning your cultivation journey, so you must be cautious."

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

In a sentence, an Origin Warrior can afford to neglect the quality of star veins but must focus on their quantity.

"Our goal for you is to awaken at least five star veins before you can enter the Flying Heaven Realm." The Star Lord of White Mountain spoke solemnly, "You should have the potential for this."

"I understand." Li Yuan kept this in mind and pondered silently.

Awaken five star veins? He had already awakened two star veins.

It shouldn't be too difficult.

Suddenly, Li Yuan seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask, "Is Senior Yu Jinghe trying to awaken more star veins?"

According to what he knew, Yu Jinghe had already reached the sixth stage of his art but had been unable to break through further. There must be a reason for this.

Both Star Lords smiled.

"You're quite perceptive." The Star Lord of White Mountain laughed, "That's right. Yu Jinghe has been trying to awaken more star veins. He already has five star veins... and there's a chance he'll awaken a sixth."

Li Yuan was enlightened. So that's how it is.

"Your starting point is lower than his because he's naturally compatible with advanced cultivation methods. As soon as he entered the Origin Warrior stage, he quickly awakened three star veins." The Star Lord of White Mountain explained, "But this is only temporary."

"In the future, you'll need to spend more time, but don't be impatient. Don't let the outside world's clamor affect you." The Star Lord of White Mountain looked at Li Yuan, "You must endure the loneliness."

Their greatest concern was that Li Yuan wouldn't be able to endure the loneliness and would be eager to enter the Flying Heaven Realm sooner.

...

"Ordinary Origin Warriors struggle to reach the fifth stage of perfection in their art."

"If they enter the Flying Heaven Realm earlier and venture into the star realms to seek opportunities, they might have a better chance of becoming Demigods. That's why the higher-ups of the Alliance won't force them to stay in the Origin Warrior stage." The Star Lord of White Mountain explained, "But for people like you, Yu Jinghe, and even your Principal when he was young... you're all rare ultimate geniuses, and our expectations for you are extremely high."

"This is because your understanding and skills are exceptional, allowing you to maximize your potential."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

He had already realized this.

"The stronger your skills, the more you can sense the mysteries of heaven and earth, nurturing your soul to become stronger and enhancing your perception of life stars. In short, the higher your skill level, the more you can tap into the potential of star veins." The Star Lord of White Mountain spoke solemnly, "When it comes to awakening star veins, we can't help you. Even with the experience of various cultivation methods as a reference, in the end, it's up to you."

"But we can help you improve your skill level." The Star Lord of White Mountain said.

Li Yuan held his breath.

Help? How can they help? Logically, understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth's operation should be a personal matter.

Suddenly, the Star Lord of White Mountain lifted his hand slightly, and his fingertips touched Li Yuan's forehead.

It was too fast for Li Yuan to react.

In an instant!

"Boom!" Li Yuan's entire mind went blank, and even his Flying Heaven Realm soul trembled.

Buzz! Streams of information directly imprinted themselves into his mind, followed by an incredibly mystical sensation.

It was magical.

It was as if 'knowledge' had been poured into his mind.

His mind expanded.

But Li Yuan didn't have time to think; he was completely immersed in this wondrous change, absorbing the flood of information.

This was a cultivation method.

To be precise, it was a star art.

Known as the 'True Understanding of Earth Veins,' according to the description in the information, it was incredibly mystical... In theory, it could significantly enhance an individual's compatibility with the 'Law of Earth,' dramatically increasing the chances of crossing the threshold of the Law of Earth.

However, cultivating it was extremely challenging, with numerous hurdles. It not only required talent in star veins but also needed various treasures to assist in cultivation... It was difficult.

After a long time, Li Yuan finally regained his senses.

He realized that the star art he had received was not only incredibly mystical but also seemed to be just a small part, perhaps the introductory section.

"How do you feel about this cultivation method?" The Star Lord of White Mountain smiled beside him.

"It's a very mystical cultivation method." Li Yuan replied, "In theory, it fundamentally enhances a person's compatibility."

"But it's extremely difficult to cultivate. Just the introductory section requires an Earth Spirit Crystal, which I don't have."

Suddenly, the Star Lord of White Mountain flipped his palm, and a yellowish-brown crystal appeared in his palm, emitting a hazy glow.

As the glow circulated, a divine aura seemed to flow on the crystal's surface, making people yearn for it involuntarily.

"What's this?" Li Yuan held his breath.

"The Star Lord of White Mountain is an extraordinary person. Since he's teaching you the introductory section of the 'True Understanding of Earth Veins,' he's naturally prepared everything for you." Principal Fang Hai smiled, "This is a fourth-tier treasure, the 'Earth Spirit Crystal,' which is essential for cultivating this star art. It's also a reward for you."

"Take it."

"With this, once you become an Origin Warrior, if you can resonate with the cultivation method, you should be able to succeed in the introductory section within a year."
