Chapter 276: Cultivating in the Heavens, Condensing True Intent

Chapter 276: Cultivating in the Heavens, Condensing True Intent



Are star veins limited?

Are the star arts one can cultivate limited? A faint stir arose in Li Yuan's heart.

He had actually thought of this before.

But he wasn't as pessimistic as Gale Demigod.

Ordinary Skysoar Warriors and Demigods worry because most of them possess Five-star Veins.

Even Six-star Veins are rare, and truly powerful star veins are often limited to just two or three.

Therefore, the truly formidable star arts of Skysoar Warriors and Demigods are often limited to just two or three.

As for Li Yuan?

His minimum goal was a Seven-star Vein, and with the 'Spiritual Guidance' of the Heart Spirit Shrine, he even had the hope of awakening to an Eight-star or Nine-star Vein in the future.

As for cultivating multiple supreme star arts, there was hope with spiritual guidance to elevate multiple star veins to the level of 'Perfect Celestial Pulse'.

Cultivating multiple supreme star arts was a possibility...

Cultivating two star lineages simultaneously? Li Yuan had the confidence to unleash their might... of course, on the condition that he achieved a sufficiently high level in the Wind lineage.

"Second, longevity."

Gale Demigod didn't know Li Yuan's thoughts, and he continued, "Demigods live for a thousand years, and Fifth-rank Divine Beings only live for five thousand years... The deeper you comprehend the Law Paths, the more difficult it becomes."

Divine Beings, even when comprehending a single Law Path, feel that time is insufficient. What more when comprehending multiple Law Paths?

"Can you ensure that when you become a Demigod, you'll still have enough time to divide your attention and comprehend other Laws?" Gale Demigod looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

Regarding star arts, he had some confidence, but time?

Longevity—this was a question that no one could escape.

He had the Heart Spirit Shrine, and in the future, there was even hope of obtaining the inheritance hall of the Ancient Torch God, achieving the level of a Demigod or even a Divine Being... These were all highly probable.

But those were just expectations, and he was currently only an Origin Martial Artist.

Who could say for sure what the future held?

"Third, comprehending different Law Paths can sometimes help you break through faster, but in reality, it's more often that they interfere with each other, making it harder to break through any single Law Path after falling into a bottleneck." Gale Demigod spoke with divine intent.

Interference?

Li Yuan understood this as well, similar to how many people theoretically could earn more by writing multiple novels simultaneously.

But often, writing two or three novels at the same time would influence each other, making it difficult for any one novel to achieve great success.

"I've told you the pros and cons." Gale Demigod smiled at Li Yuan, "Do you still insist on cultivating the Wind lineage?"

Without much hesitation, Li Yuan said, "Disciple Li Yuan, paying respects to the teacher." He bowed respectfully, having already made his decision.

Difficult?

Cultivating two star lineages simultaneously was indeed challenging, and Li Yuan wasn't sure if he could achieve great success, but he had ambition and desire.

He had to give it a try.

If he didn't even attempt it, Li Yuan wouldn't be satisfied.

"Alright." Gale Demigod wasn't surprised.

For a peerless genius like Li Yuan, how could he easily give up?

The more talented one is, the more they trust their own judgment, but the downside is that when they stumble, they often fall harder.

"Follow me."

Gale Demigod waved his hand, and instantly, an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and the two of them soared into the sky from the pavilion.

They flew directly towards the distance.

"Senior Gale, please wait." Standing at a distance, Endu Hong, the Mountain Lord, was shocked by this scene and immediately transformed into a stream of light, rushing forward.

Li Yuan didn't trust Demigods of other races.

In fact, Endu Hong also didn't trust them much.

Hum~

A faint pressure instantly came from all directions, crazily oppressing Endu Hong, making him feel unprecedented pressure.

It was as if the entire heavens were crushing him, and even with his powerful strength, Endu Hong felt his blood boiling, and his speed slowed down significantly.

"Endu, don't follow."

"I promised your Alliance to guide Li Yuan for half a year." A detached voice resonated in Endu Hong's mind, "After half a year, I will naturally return Li Yuan to you."

Whoosh!

Endu Hong could only watch helplessly as Gale Demigod and Li Yuan disappeared at the edge of the horizon in just a few seconds.

"Such fast speed."

"Not even a hint of air disturbance, is this the rumored Demigod-level Wind lineage expert?" Endu Hong sighed.

His strength was almost at the Demigod threshold.

But compared to a Demigod-level expert, the gap was indeed significant.

"I'll report to San Ye Demigod." Endu Hong shook his head.

Just three minutes later, San Ye Demigod replied, and the message was simple: "Don't worry, the Alliance Leader has his arrangements."

...

Ten thousand meters in the sky.

Whoosh!

A faint stream of light streaked across the heavens, its speed so fast it was almost unbelievable.

"This speed, definitely surpassing thirty times the speed of sound." Li Yuan was shocked, quickly judging, "Is it still carrying me with the power of the heavens? From Gale Demigod's appearance, he doesn't seem to have unleashed his full power yet?"

Li Yuan's experience was extremely vast.

According to his knowledge, top-tier Origin Martial Artists, when unleashing their full power, could break the sound barrier.

Skyborne peak experts usually had flight speeds around five times the speed of sound.

Some extremely powerful Skyborne Warriors, when using certain powerful star arts, could approach ten times the speed of sound, but it was very rare. But what about Gale Demigod?

Almost with a single movement, his flight speed reached thirty times the speed of sound? What level would it be if he unleashed his full power? At such a terrifying speed, Li Yuan believed that if a Demigod didn't restrain their aura and didn't merge with the heavens... once they intentionally unleashed their might, simply flying along the ground would result in the destruction of everything in their path.

The might of Demigods, capable of destroying heaven and earth, was not an empty claim.

But...

"Teacher, what are you doing?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I said I'd guide you for half a year, and for the next six months, you'll follow me." Gale Demigod was quite relaxed.

Li Yuan was stunned, as this was very different from what he knew.

It was common knowledge that every member of the Seven Stars Mountain would receive two years of guidance from a Demigod, but it didn't mean they would always be by their side... It often meant receiving guidance once or twice a month.

Personal guidance? That was the treatment for direct disciples.

After all, there were usually ten or so members of the Seven Stars Mountain every year, but how many Demigods were there in the Alliance? For ordinary members of the Seven Stars Mountain, receiving guidance a few times was already very rare.

Fortunately, Li Yuan thought to himself, "My daily cultivation items, I usually store them in three storage treasures, and the last time the Divine Essence Liquid was delivered, I received six bottles, which I've also brought."

Following someone in cultivation? That was fine.

"Teacher, where are we going?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"To a place with wind."

"After just ten minutes..."

Before Li Yuan's eyes, an endless ocean appeared on the boundless land.

"Nova Sea?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

According to the map, they had flown over 5,000 kilometers and crossed a small continent... Nova Sea was a famous ocean on Flying Star, with a width of over 30,000 kilometers at its widest point... It was the first great sea of the entire Flying Star.

"Huff!" The Gale Demigod led Li Yuan, swiftly diving hundreds of kilometers into the ocean, and finally slowing down to land on a small island.

This was an uninhabited island.

The sun shone brightly, and the sea breeze blew gently.

Standing on the island, Li Yuan felt incredibly refreshed, with the sky and sea blending into a vast blue, creating a picturesque scenery.

"For the next month, you'll cultivate here," the Gale Demigod said softly.

"Here?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

As far as the eye could see, the scenery was beautiful, but there was nothing special about it.

"Come, take out your spear," the Gale Demigod said, looking at Li Yuan. "Attack me and let me see your true spear technique."

"Remember, don't use Origin Power. This island can't withstand such destruction."

"Huff!" The Gale Demigod flipped his palm, and a black long staff appeared in his hand, intricately carved with complex patterns, its material unknown.

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded, flipping his palm and taking out a second-tier high-grade long spear.

This was the weapon he had used in the Interstellar Boundary.

As for the Black Star Spear? It was, after all, a Demigod Artifact`, and Li Yuan hesitated before deciding not to take it out.

"You'll spar with a Demigod?"

"The Gale Demigod should be guiding me," Li Yuan thought as he gripped the spear with both hands, his mind moving to channel his entire body's power without activating Origin Power. With a whoosh, he charged towards the Gale Demigod.

Although the island was rugged and uneven, to Li Yuan, a cultivator of his caliber, it was as smooth as flat ground.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The spear's aura howled as it rushed towards the Gale Demigod, the spear's glow blooming layer upon layer, enveloping the Demigod.

"Huff!"

The Gale Demigod took a step forward, his staff unleashing a strike that, at first glance, didn't seem fast. Yet, it instantly wiped out countless spear auras, precisely hitting the spear's tip.

He had blocked that strike.

"What?" Li Yuan's pupils constricted, as he hadn't even felt the Demigod drawing upon the power of the heavens and earth.

"Continue, don't stop," the Gale Demigod frowned.

"Yes, teacher," Li Yuan completely put aside his concerns, attacking with all his might, freely displaying his spear techniques.

But no matter how Li Yuan varied his moves, the Gale Demigod was always one step ahead, striking with his staff to break through Li Yuan's every move and counter.

"He's clearly not drawing upon the power of the heavens and earth."

"The strength he's using is clearly weaker than mine." Li Yuan fought, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

It was as if all his moves were seen through by the Demigod.

After dozens of exchanges, Li Yuan's momentum was astonishing, with flying sand and stones around him. Yet, the Gale Demigod stood in his original spot, not moving an inch.

"Intercept!"

"Every time I launch an attack, the Gale Demigod sees through it, striking me at the weakest point of my spear technique's eruption, and then neutralizing my offense," Li Yuan calmed his mind, no longer seeking to outmatch the Demigod but focusing on finding the flaws in his own spear technique.

Although their power was equal, Li Yuan was completely suppressed, indicating a vast gap in their cultivation levels.

"My spear technique's intent is too obvious, I need to be more subtle."

"The Star True Intention is like a flawless, perfect sphere, which can be directly shattered head-on. But logically, it shouldn't have been completely neutralized before reaching full eruption, indicating many flaws in my spear technique..." Li Yuan realized the numerous defects in his spear technique.

"More importantly, it's the speed."

"The Gale Demigod's staff didn't draw upon the power of the heavens and earth, yet it could suddenly burst with a speed far greater than mine... That's how he manages to be one step ahead." Li Yuan also felt the changes in the Demigod's staff technique: "It's better integrated with the heavens and earth."

"My spear technique, although it's already close to being integrated with the heavens and earth, still faces air resistance."

"His staff technique, instead of encountering air resistance along the way, receives assistance from the air."

"Is this the mysterious wind?" Li Yuan had many vague thoughts.

This scene reminded Li Yuan of when he resonated with the consciousness of a Divine Being... That Divine Being's spear technique, which drew upon the mysterious wind.

The two were very similar.

...

After a hundred exchanges, the Gale Demigod finally stopped Li Yuan.

"Have you felt it?" the Gale Demigod asked softly.

"I have some understanding," Li Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "But there's still a lot I don't understand."

"It's good that you don't understand."

The Gale Demigod said, "Alright, my guidance is over. Go to the cliff over there, face the sea, and ponder."

Li Yuan was taken aback.

Was the guidance over? Not a single word was spoken.

"Starting today, I'll spar with you every day, letting you feel the mysterious wind," the Gale Demigod workings. "But how to specifically sense it, how to integrate it into your spear technique... That's up to you, I won't say more."

"At the same time, every month, we'll change locations."

"The essence of techniques lies in the mysteries of laws and the mysteries of nature, which is the Dao," the Gale Demigod said slowly. "I won't teach you spear techniques, nor will I impart secret manuals. I won't give you specific guidance."

"Because you have no foundation. If I guide you now, it'll only shackle your spirit, making it dusty and unable to find the most suitable path for yourself."

"Your mental strength is strong enough to sense the heavens and earth."

"The Dao originates from the heavens and earth. So, seek the Dao from the heavens and earth," the Gale Demigod looked at Li Yuan. "When you walk your own path and at least condense your True Intention, I'll give you specific guidance."

"Alright."

Then, the Gale Demigod sat down right where he was, closing his eyes to rest, no longer paying attention to Li Yuan.

"Thank you, teacher."

...

Thus, Li Yuan began a completely different cultivation journey in his martial arts training.

"Seek the Dao from the heavens and earth?" Li Yuan sat alone on the cliff by the sea, silently sensing the mysterious wind's undulations from the heavens and earth.

At the same time, he combined the Gale Demigod's guidance, trying to interpret it through his spear technique.

...

One day, half a month later.

Suddenly—

"Boom~" Li Yuan, who was meditating on the cliff by the sea, suddenly had an eruption of power, with strands of the mighty power of the heavens and earth bursting from his body in all directions.

"Hmm?"

The Gale Demigod, who was meditating, opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "He's actually unknowingly condensed the Star True Intention."

"What a freak!"
