Chapter 224: Initiation into Star Arts
Chapter 224: Initiation into Star Arts
"Initiation within five months?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.
Is it that fast?
"Within five months, you should be able to initiate into at least one or two Star Veins," Bai Shan Xing Zhu smiled and said, "Once initiated, attempting to cultivate the 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' won't be too difficult, as it's just the introductory part."
"Can Origin Warriors cultivate Star Arts?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
According to what was said earlier, Star Arts should be cultivated by Flying Warriors.
The two Star Lords exchanged a smile.
"The more combat-oriented and powerful Star Arts are, the more they require a complete eruption of Origin Energy from the Star Veins... Their power is too overwhelming, and an Origin Warrior's body can't withstand it. I don't recommend cultivating them." Fang Hai explained.
"However, there are some auxiliary Star Arts that Origin Warriors can choose to cultivate. For instance, the 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' is an auxiliary Star Art for enlightenment. Even at the Origin Warrior stage, you can cultivate it." Fang Hai continued, "Similar to this, if the opportunity arises, Flying Warriors would also cultivate one such Star Art."
Li Yuan understood.
Star Arts like 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' might not directly enhance combat power... But they can expedite the comprehension of techniques.
Techniques and Star Veins are the foundation of cultivation.
Only by strengthening these can one break through bottlenecks and achieve future breakthroughs.
As for combat-oriented Star Arts? In a certain sense, they aren't that important.
"The 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' is a rather remarkable Star Art," Bai Shan Xing Zhu laughed and said, "I also obtained it by chance. With the Earth Crystal, as long as you have a certain level of comprehension of the Earth Element's Law and are willing to invest some time, cultivating it isn't difficult."
"But if your comprehension isn't high enough, it'll be hard to refine successfully."
"How do I judge my comprehension level?" Li Yuan asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
Regarding the Laws.
Li Yuan had only heard vague concepts about them in the Flame Star Academy.
It was too distant.
That involved the most fundamental mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
"You can't really judge it."
"Every living being is independent, but in general, they are similar in their broad direction. The 'Rock Solid Cultivation' you cultivated earlier is aligned with the Earth Element's Law. Your smooth cultivation of 'Essence of Stars' indicates your potential to comprehend the True Intent of Stars."
"From your various signs so far, you have a high affinity with the Earth Element."
Li Yuan suddenly understood. So that was the case.
Fang Hai and Bai Shan Xing Zhu, with their strength far surpassing his own, could make many judgments based on his past performance.
"Principal, I know the Sixth Stage Technique is 'Celestial Righteousness', but what about the Law Stage Technique?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
He was indeed curious.
"The Fifth Stage Technique is about achieving ultimate control over the body," Fang Hai patiently explained, "The Sixth Stage is about gradually merging with Heaven and Earth, and upon reaching perfection, every move and gesture will draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth."
"The Seventh Stage is about truly comprehending the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, reaching an extremely profound level. Beyond that is the Law Stage."
"Once you cross the threshold of the Law Stage, you'll be at the Seventh Stage Technique."
"I gave you the 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' and the Earth Crystal as a gift. I hope you'll cross the Law Stage threshold one day."
"You should know, this Earth Crystal is enough to make many Flying Warriors chase after it. I won't forget your kindness, Bai Shan Xing Zhu." Li Yuan said solemnly.
"Haha, Principal, you're putting too much pressure on him." Bai Shan Xing Zhu laughed, "Don't burden yourself with too much pressure. You're from Xia Guo, and I'll naturally support you. This 'Earthly Star Vein True Understanding' isn't as mystical as you imagine."
"Its effectiveness largely depends on the strength of your Star Vein. With a perfect Star Vein as the foundation, the results will be much better."
"So, when you first initiate, the effects will be average, with only slight improvements. But as you progress, the results will get better and better."
"I understand, senior." Li Yuan said solemnly, but his heart couldn't help but stir.
The stronger the Star Vein, the better the cultivation results.
"Whether it's Star Arts or spiritual techniques, they're just auxiliary. They're merely amplifiers for your comprehension," Fang Hai slowly said, "To comprehend the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, the most important thing is your heart."
"You can rely on these, but you can't depend on them."
"Yes."
...
Soon after, Principal Fang Hai sent Li Yuan back to school and quickly returned.
"Not giving any advice?" Bai Shan Xing Zhu asked.
"What advice?" Fang Hai shook his head, "I've already provided the best resources for his cultivation. After five months, he'll go to the Flying Star to receive the 'Martial God Heritage', the Alliance's top resource... The rest of the journey is up to him."
"How far he can go also depends on his own efforts and fortune."
"Intervening too much isn't always a good thing." Fang Hai said, "No matter how much we help, can we help him become a Demigod?"
"I'm not even a Demigod myself." Fang Hai shook his head.
"Haha, you're just like your Star Lord in temperament." Bai Shan Xing Zhu laughed, "Alright, as the Principal, you have the final say."
"I'll be on my way. If there's anything else, just call me."
Fang Hai watched Bai Shan Xing Zhu leave, then looked down at the residential area below.
After a moment's thought.
"Seven Star Veins? Law Stage?" Fang Hai wondered, then he stepped into the flying saucer craft and departed.
……
Back at his own villa.
Dean Hai, Li Yang, and the white-clad woman had long received their orders and departed.
At this moment, the sun had just risen outside.
But Li Yuan's heart was filled with excitement.
What had happened today far exceeded Li Yuan's imagination.
Before breakfast, Li Yuan's mind was solely focused on how to strive for victory in the Blue Star Virtual Battle Tournament.
But this morning, he first encountered an assassination attempt by a hidden alien Flying Warrior.
Then, two Star Lords appeared one after another, and a single drop of rain that grazed the heavens and the earth... Finally, the story about the Ten Stellar Veins and the Ninth Level Stellar Vein further opened a door to a new world for Li Yuan.
It could be said that.
The guidance from Fang Hai and Bai Shan had reshaped Li Yuan's understanding of the 'Extraordinary Martial Arts'.
Perhaps, Li Yuan was still outside the door.
But he could already see the world within.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly realized, "Oh no, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, it might get cold."
...
After finishing his lukewarm breakfast, Li Yuan returned to the underground martial arts chamber.
The lights were turned on, illuminating the room like daytime.
With all the chamber's defenses deactivated, Li Yuan took a soft cushion and sat cross-legged on it.
"Huff!"
Li Yuan turned his palm, and a yellowish-brown crystal appeared in his palm, emitting a hazy glow.
It was the Earth Essence Crystal that Bai Shan had just given him.
"A fourth-tier treasure."
"According to the database, the value of this level of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures cannot be measured in Blue Star currency," Li Yuan thought to himself.
This was quite normal.
Currency was essentially issued by the Human Alliance, backed by the formidable military power of Star Lords and Demigods, which made it acceptable to Flying Warriors, Origin Source Warriors, and ordinary people.
Therefore, currency held no significance for Star Lords.
The treasures they valued were naturally not something that could be measured in Blue Star currency... No amount of money could buy them.
Li Yuan stared at the Earth Essence Crystal, and being called a Divine Crystal, one could imagine its value.
"If I wasn't a prodigy, I probably wouldn't be qualified to obtain such a treasure," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But should I cultivate with a Perfect Stellar Vein?"
Whether it was Fang Hai or Bai Shan.
They both believed that Li Yuan would need at least a few months before he could cultivate the 'Earth's Stellar Vein True Essentials'.
But Li Yuan himself knew that he could cultivate it at any time.
Cultivating the 'Earth's Stellar Vein True Essentials' had three requirements: First, there must be a certain degree of compatibility with the Earth's Vein.
Second, one must awaken a Stellar Vein.
Third, one's skill must reach the level of unity with heaven and man, or their mental power must reach level 29.
Li Yuan perfectly met these requirements.
The only thing that made Li Yuan hesitate was which Stellar Vein to use for cultivation.
"Cultivating with a Perfect Stellar Vein will naturally yield better results," Li Yuan thought, "But according to what the Principal just said."
"Once a Stellar Art is cultivated to a certain level, it will leave a deep imprint on the Stellar Vein, making it very troublesome to reshape it in the future... Is it appropriate to dedicate a Perfect Stellar Vein to an auxiliary Stellar Art?" Li Yuan hesitated.
A Stellar Vein is like a piece of land, and a Stellar Art is like building on that land.
If it's an empty plot, doing anything is convenient.
But if a residential building is already constructed, and one wants to rebuild it as a pig farm? It would naturally be extremely troublesome.
After much contemplation.
"Let's do it!"
Li Yuan made up his mind, "According to my previous experience, when my spiritual awakening reaches 50%, I will have another chance to receive spiritual guidance... And I will continue to awaken Stellar Veins."
"The combat technique will only make me stronger at a certain stage."
"Cultivating the 'Earth's Stellar Vein True Essentials' with a Perfect Stellar Vein will maximize the potential of this Stellar Art." Li Yuan thought to himself, "It will also allow me to improve my skills faster."
It was like the transformation of the soul to the Flying Level.
Before and after the transformation, Li Yuan's efficiency in practicing gun techniques and body movements was completely different.
"With sufficient skill, I can fully tap into my potential as an Origin Source Warrior during the cultivation of the Origin Source Warriors," Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.
Five Stellar Veins?
No!
Li Yuan's goal was the Seven Stellar Veins, and even the legendary Eighth Stellar Vein among various alien civilizations.
The Mind Palace gave Li Yuan enough confidence.
...
After figuring out everything, Li Yuan no longer hesitated. He calmed his mind, and with a thought,
Whoosh~
The Yuanli Battle Armor stirred, and the palm-sized Earth Essence Crystal was completely placed on his abdomen.
It was then wrapped up by the battle armor, making it invisible from the outside.
"Absorb," Li Yuan thought, and immediately began to cultivate according to the guidance of the 'Earth's Stellar Vein True Essentials'.
His Flying Level soul rotated, sensing the Earth Essence Crystal.
The Stellar Vein rotated!
Gradually, Li Yuan vaguely felt the cluster of fiery crystals in his waist and abdomen, as if they contained unimaginable essence... Beyond imagination.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Following the guidance of the Stellar Art, Li Yuan's Perfect Stellar Vein rotated, and countless faint light spots appeared on his body, beginning to absorb the essence contained within the Earth Essence Crystal.
Boom!
Strands of strange power quickly penetrated Li Yuan's body through his skin and were swiftly absorbed by the unique Perfect Stellar Vein... This power was much purer than Yuanli.
Most importantly, it seemed to contain a strange substance that quickly merged into Li Yuan's Perfect Stellar Vein.
In an instant!
"The sensation is so clear." Li Yuan was shocked. This strange power allowed him to perceive the countless light spots on this Perfect Stellar Vein with unparalleled clarity.
129,600 Life Stars, all of them were clearly sensed.
It was beyond measure compared to before.
Moreover, the breath of each Life Star became more vigorous, as if they had truly come to life.
"Let's try," Li Yuan thought.
Powerful mental power enveloped each Life Star, attempting to mobilize the Yuanli within them.
Trying to form strange and mysterious Star Marks... It was extremely easy.
Success!
"Did I succeed with just one?" Li Yuan was stunned, "Didn't Senior Bai Shan say that I would need to try hundreds of times at the beginning?"
