Chapter 308: The New Perfect Star Pulse! Secret Cultivation

Chapter 308: The New Perfect Star Pulse! Secret Cultivation



~Hua~ Li Yuan's consciousness gathered, and he effortlessly passed through the first layer to the second layer, where the white jade steps exuded a mental pressure.

He arrived at the second level of the Mind Palace.

Compared to the previous level, there wasn't much change, only a single jade platform.

But within the hall, numerous golden mists drifted.

"The first Spirit Awakening only reaches 25%, so without Primordial Energy entering the body, there's also no golden mist." Li Yuan thought to himself, "But the second Spirit Awakening reaches 50%, and with Primordial Energy entering the body, will it be a new iteration?"

So much time had passed.

Li Yuan learned more about the Mind Palace, and many of his previous speculations had been confirmed.

With each 10% increase in Spirit Awakening, golden mists would be born, and this was the source of power from Primordial Energy entering the body.

The Spirit Awakening would appear once every 25%, guiding the Vitality Star Space.

"It's a pity that I can't utilize these golden mists to enhance my physical qualities for now." Li Yuan thought to himself.

As his mental power broke through to the 37th level, he sensed an anomaly within the Mind Palace, and Li Yuan had already attempted to merge the Primordial Energy into his consciousness body, trying to aid in its transformation.

The result was failure.

"The merging of Primordial Energy enhances physical qualities as the core, and the golden mists merging with the consciousness body is merely an auxiliary effect for mental power growth." Li Yuan confirmed this point.

Breakthrough to the Skysoar level? Li Yuan wouldn't do that.

Having been an Origin Warrior for less than two years, he was far from reaching the limit of his Star Pulse awakening, so Li Yuan naturally wouldn't attempt a breakthrough.

"My goal is to reach the eighth Star Pulse in the Origin Warrior stage." Li Yuan thought to himself.

The longer he cultivated, the more Li Yuan realized that the difficulty of awakening the Star Pulse increased exponentially as he progressed.

But Li Yuan never gave up on the goal of the eighth Star Pulse.

~Huan~ As his mind wandered, Li Yuan's consciousness focused on the single jade platform in the second level of the Mind Palace.

This jade platform had only reacted once during the first Spirit Awakening.

After that, regardless of Li Yuan's attempts, there was no further response.

And today.

"Boom!" As Li Yuan's consciousness focused on the jade platform, he felt as if an invisible force was pulling him, quickly drawing his consciousness into it.

Li Yuan couldn't stop this process, or perhaps, he was just going with the flow.

After a few seconds.

The scenery around Li Yuan's consciousness body changed, and he found himself in an endless, dark starry sky. In the distant void, countless twinkling stars shone... It was the Vitality Star Space that Li Yuan had visited countless times.

But today's situation was clearly different from usual.

"Five Star Pulses." Li Yuan could easily sense the five Star Pulses composed of tens of thousands of life stars forming complete trajectories, as well as numerous scattered life stars that didn't form a system.

This was the result of Li Yuan's solitary cultivation over the years.

"I hope that with the help of the second Spirit Awakening, I can reach a higher level." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.

His mind was calm, and it triggered a subtle change within the Mind Palace.

Time passed.

Gradually.

Hua! Hua! Hua! In the vast Vitality Star Space, strands of purple energy silently appeared, crossing the vast space and drifting towards Li Yuan's consciousness body.

"Here they come." Li Yuan's mental power, far surpassing that during the first Spirit Awakening, detected these purple energy strands.

Simultaneously, he also sensed the vitality and vigor contained within these purple energy strands.

It was quite mystical.

Compared to the first Spirit Awakening, Li Yuan's perception was much clearer, and he patiently waited.

After more than ten seconds.

~Huan~ The first purple energy strand silently merged into Li Yuan's body.

In an instant!

"Hmm?" Li Yuan only felt that the field of view of his consciousness body was rapidly expanding: "Have I changed?"

It was as if the lens was zooming out, yet it felt incredibly real.

This state was bizarre yet authentic.

"Five Star Pulses!"

"Life stars!"

"Countless stars!" Li Yuan's 'vision' finally stabilized.

At this moment, with the blessing of the purple mist, Li Yuan's perception was thoroughly heightened to the peak, as if he could overlook the entire Vitality Star Space, giving him a sense of control over everything.

Countless stars, infinite and endless!

All these countless stars were asleep, whether they were dead stars or unawakened life stars, all under Li Yuan's perception and observation.

"My perception ability seems to have improved compared to the first Spirit Awakening." Li Yuan had a sudden realization.

Last time, he could only observe most of the dark space.

But this time, he could vaguely glimpse the full picture.

"These are the unawakened life stars." Under this mystical state, Li Yuan could sense the rare exceptions among the countless dead and silent stars.

Life stars were the minority.

With a body like the universe, countless dead stars... Awakening life stars was like panning for gold in a sea of sand, extremely difficult, and one might even harm themselves if not careful.

And so, even for those peerless geniuses, awakening their Star Pulse was incredibly difficult and slow.

At this moment, a vast and boundless voice suddenly resounded, "Seeking the dust and finding the minute, merging as one..." Li Yuan had been silently waiting for a long time.

As his realm far surpassed the past, he listened once more and could finally sense the subtleties of this voice, which could be called the 'Sound of the Dao'.

It contained mysterious power, guiding Li Yuan.

"Follow your feelings."

"Unite the Divine with the Star! Unite the Divine with the Body! Unite the Divine with the Intent!" Li Yuan followed the invisible guidance of the Sound of the Dao.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's consciousness instantly dispersed, dividing into countless parts.

In an instant, tens of thousands of mental thoughts crossed the vast expanse of the Life Star space, easily sensing among the countless stars, the extremely rare unawakened Life Stars with faint glimmers of light... The entire process was astonishingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, the countless mental thoughts that Li Yuan had divided into, directly merged into the sensed stars, swiftly imprinting his mark.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

It was as if a city had suddenly lit up, and the Life Star space, which already had a faint glow, was now brightening at a visible rate!! Ten thousand stars! Twenty thousand stars! Thirty thousand stars... Countless Life Stars were simultaneously illuminated at this moment.

As a Second Stage Life, Li Yuan's Life Star awakening difficulty was significantly higher than it had been during the First Stage.

Similarly, his mental power was also much stronger than before.

"Invisible Guidance."

"Perfect Star Pulse." Li Yuan's powerful soul, his consciousness barely managed to maintain its clarity.

He himself was well aware.

Among the tens of thousands of Life Stars that had almost simultaneously awakened, many belonged to already awakened Star Pulses... There were also numerous Life Stars belonging to unawakened Star Pulses.

On two of the Star Pulses, when the very last Life Star awakened, a total of 129,600 Life Stars gathered and connected, forming a perfect sensation.

One less Life Star would be a flaw, one more would be a burden.

Perfectly flawless!

This was a new perfect Star Pulse.

"Boom~" The previously scattered and disorganized Life Stars also reached the critical point of Star Pulse awakening... and began to operate.

This was a new Star Pulse awakening!

...

On the war vessel, in the quiet room.

Li Yuan sat in silent meditation, his body constantly emitting a hazy divine glow, and occasionally, a ray of light would shine.

After a long time, the glow on his body faded, and he returned to normal. Li Yuan opened his eyes.

"Eight hours?" Li Yuan's consciousness had remained clear, and he was well aware of his own changes.

Li Yuan's peripheral vision directly glanced at a line on the Mind Palace panel:

[Star Pulse: 6 Star Pulses (10th Rank + 10th Rank + 10th Rank + 6th Rank + 6th Rank + 4th Rank)]



"The second Spiritual Guidance completed the second and third Star Pulses, making them perfect." Li Yuan was secretly amazed: "It also greatly improved the other Star Pulses."

The first Spiritual Guidance was about creating something from nothing, and it allowed Li Yuan to awaken his first perfect Star Pulse.

The second time, however, was about completion! It also awakened his sixth Star Pulse.

"It also awakened numerous disorganized and unrelated Life Stars." Li Yuan thought to himself: "I'm not far from awakening the seventh Star Pulse."

It could be said that the second Spiritual Guidance had effects that far exceeded Li Yuan's expectations.

"At the very least, I now have the foundation to cultivate three supreme Star Arts." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with light: "In this aspect, I've already surpassed the Gu Ju Divine Lord."

The number of Star Pulses determined the upper limit of one's physical realm.

The quality of the Star Pulses determined the limit of Star Arts.

Among the many civilizations in the Dimensional Domain, a nine-rank Star Pulse was almost legendary... Li Yuan had now awakened three perfect Star Pulses. If this news got out, it would cause a huge stir.

Fortunately!

Star Pulses were difficult to detect, and as Li Yuan's strength increased, it would become even harder for even Halfgods to perceive them in the future.

After some thought, Li Yuan decided to send a message to Fang Hai: "Principal, I'm now confident. Once the treasure arrives, I will be able to rival the Beast Emperor in one month."

Soon, Fang Hai replied: "Within three days, the treasure will be delivered."

"Three days?" Li Yuan thought to himself and continued to meditate, his mind recalling the various techniques for condensing Star Marks from the 'Divine Body of All Things'.

The 'Divine Body of All Things' was an extension of the 'Earth Divine Body', and the two shared many similarities in their Star Marks.

As a cultivator who had grasped the second-rank Star Marks of the 'Earth Divine Body', Li Yuan still found the subtleties of the Star Marks in the 'Divine Body of All Things' to be difficult and profoundly mysterious.

"So complex."

"If I hadn't condensed the Earth True Intention, it would have been almost impossible to comprehend it." Li Yuan thought to himself, patiently comprehending the techniques.

He must first understand the subtleties of the Star Marks before attempting to imprint them on his Life Star.

Fortunately, he only needed to imitate and copy them, not fully comprehend them.

...

While Li Yuan was cultivating in the quiet room of the war vessel, outside, the Seven Stars Civilization had begun a large-scale mobilization.

"Abandon the Bright Moon Base."

"Full evacuation! Dismantle everything useful."

"We can't defend both bases simultaneously, we'll only end up losing both." Orders were issued one after another.

Many warriors in the Bright Moon Base were filled with reluctance, especially those elders who had been stationed there for decades and felt a deep attachment to the entire base.

In their hearts, this was their home.

Title: The Return of the Young Warrior

Chapter 1:

The current situation left them with no other choice.

"Let's retreat and consolidate our forces at Bright Moon Base. As long as we're alive, as long as we don't give up, there's still hope for the future."

"Once we win this war, we'll return to Bright Mind Base," many warriors comforted each other.

But deep down, most of them felt pessimistic.

Over the past year, the Seven Stars Civilization had expanded in the Mingxu Star Realm, experiencing victories and defeats, but the recent crushing loss had left countless warriors feeling suppressed, engulfed by a sense of failure.

Even with the appearance of the 'Spirit Lance,' slaughtering in all directions, it only managed to halt this downward trend.

In a word!

No matter how powerful the Spirit Lance was, could it kill the Beast Emperor? Without the strength to defeat the Beast Emperor, they were destined to lose this Star Realm war.

...

Day after day passed, and a large number of first and second-stage warriors were withdrawn from the Xia Kingdom.

Preserving their remaining strength.

Meanwhile, the True Intent Origin Warriors and Skysoar Warriors, who were originally stationed at Bright Mind Base, had all arrived at Bright Moon Base.

This also caused the 'Flying Heaven-rank combat power' at Bright Moon Base to quickly reach 40.

Inside a fourth-rank warship conference room.

"Tavarez, Jiang Zai." The Three-Leaf Demigod spoke softly in the projection, "You two need to think this through... Once you break through, there's no turning back, and you'll be trapped here forever."

"The Mingxu Star Realm passage has just expanded, and it's highly unlikely that it will expand to a third-rank Star Realm in a short time."

"Demigod, I've thought it through." Tavarez spoke in a deep voice, "To completely conquer this world, we need an extremely powerful Skysoar Warrior... Li Yang and Lai Meng, their comprehension abilities are average. Even if they have a hundred years, they might not reach the peak of Skysoar."

"Only we, once we break through, can reach the peak of Skysoar within ten years, at least we can become 34th-rank." Tavarez said, "At that time, whether it's an internal war or guarding in the future, it will be unshakable."

"Someone has to guard it."

Jiang Zai said, "Besides, the Mingxu Star Realm is vast enough that it won't be boring... Perhaps, we might even be considered the ancestors of a realm if we can become Demigods in the Mingxu Star Realm after a long time, and our Seven Stars Civilization flourishes."

Upon hearing Jiang Zai's words, both the Three-Leaf Demigod and Tavarez couldn't help but smile.

But after careful consideration, it was indeed possible.

"Good."

"To occupy the Mingxu Star Realm, we indeed need strong warriors to make contributions." The Three-Leaf Demigod spoke slowly, "Rest assured... The Alliance will treat you equally. After the breakthrough, you won't lack any kind of cultivation resources."

"Thank you, Demigod," both Tavarez and Jiang Zai said together.

That day.

Tavarez and Jiang Zai began to condense their Origin Cores within the warship... Once this step was taken, there was no turning back.

...

September 6th.

Li Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation at Bright Moon Base, finally received news.

Following the Star Realm passage, he returned to the Jiangnan Province of the Xia Kingdom.

The world was still shrouded in misty rain, and in the high sky above a war base.

"Your Excellency," Li Yuan greeted respectfully.

"After a few days of not seeing you, I feel like you've undergone quite a change," Fang Hai sighed lightly, "You always bring us pleasant surprises."

"It's all thanks to your guidance and help," Li Yuan smiled.

"I won't take credit for the accomplishments of Li Yang and the Wind Demigod. I didn't interfere with your cultivation path," Fang Hai smiled and flipped his palm, presenting a storage treasure.

"Check these items yourself," Fang Hai said.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Li Yuan replied, not daring to be careless. He moved his divine sense, penetrating into the silver-colored thin film.

One by one, he inspected the treasures.

Confirming they were correct.

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Li Yuan smiled, "I'll return these 500,000 Seven Stars points to the Alliance as soon as possible."

Li Yuan had no intention of taking advantage.

"No need."

"These treasures are considered my compensation for purchasing and sending them to you," Fang Hai smiled, "It's also considered compensation for the Deity Concept I received from you last time."

"Deity Concept?" Li Yuan was a little dazed and puzzled, "Your Excellency, didn't you give me 30,000 points before?"

"Haha!"

"Do you think 30,000 points can buy a Deity Concept?" Fang Hai smiled.

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Alright, let's stop here. These 500,000 Seven Stars points are my compensation," Fang Hai smiled, "First, use these treasures to cultivate with a calm mind... And don't take too many risks. If you still feel inferior to the Beast Emperor after your cultivation, don't force it."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Not long after.

After seeing Fang Hai off, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, waiting to confirm that no one was sensing his surroundings.

Hum~

Li Yuan followed the invisible fluctuations and disappeared into the misty rain.

The Ancient God Palace had been waiting in this area, and as soon as Li Yuan returned to the Xia Kingdom, he had already sensed the presence of the Ancient God Palace.

...

Inside the Ancient God Palace, a spacious hall.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan appeared out of thin air, and a white-clothed girl slowly descended from the empty space in the hall, with a hint of confusion, "Younger Brother, you're back so soon? Has the war in the Mingxu Star Realm ended?"

"Not yet."

"I encountered some trouble," Li Yuan smiled, "I plan to return and seclude myself for a month, striving to cultivate the 'Divine Body of All Things' to the second-rank limit, and then I'll go back and fight."

"Cultivation..." The girl hadn't realized it at first, but then she suddenly reacted, "Divine Body of All Things?"

"Younger Brother, have you awakened the second Ninth-Rank Star Pulse?" The girl stared at Li Yuan in shock, "So fast?"

"I'm just following the cultivation method step by step.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Unknowingly, the second Star Pulse has already reached the ninth rank."

Unknowingly?

The girl fell silent.

"Alright, that's a good thing." The girl smiled and said, "Then let's go and cultivate."

"Mhm." Li Yuan turned and walked into the distant corridor, entering the 'Divine Crystal Chamber'.

The girl stood in her original spot.

"It's indeed the ninth rank Star Pulse. I need to cultivate the 'Divine Body of All Things'." The girl sighed inwardly.

She had control over the entire Ancient God Palace, and if she wished, she could monitor every corner of the palace.

"Cultivate step by step?" The girl shook her head slightly, "My younger brother here probably still has some big secrets hidden."

All living beings had the habit of keeping secrets, so the girl wasn't surprised.

"I just hope that more and more surprises will come." A smile appeared on the girl's lips, "With such a high Star Pulse talent, perhaps when I reach the peak of the Flying Heaven Realm, I'll have hope to awaken the Eight Star Pulse and cultivate three supreme Star Arts."

Li Yuan's talent was indeed beyond Gu You's understanding.

...

Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.

Li Yuan sat quietly, sensing the dense Divine Crystal energy around him.

"Normally, a Origin Warrior's physical quality is limited, and they can cultivate at most two Star Arts." Li Yuan pondered silently, "If I want to fight against a peak Flying Heaven Realm expert, I must cultivate a fourth Star Art to have a greater chance of success."

Therefore, he had to enhance his physical quality to its limit.

"I'll cultivate the 'Earth Divine Body' to greatly enhance my physical quality beyond other Origin Warriors. Only then can I successfully cultivate the third Star Art, the 'Shadow Transformation Clone'." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Now, I must cultivate the 'Divine Body of All Things' to its limit, transforming my body to the peak of an Origin Warrior. Only then will I have the hope to cultivate four Star Arts."

This was also the reason why the Body Transformation Star Art was hailed as the 'Source of Ten Thousand Arts'.

It could comprehensively enhance a cultivator's strength and even their potential.

Boom! Li Yuan waved his hand, and countless rare treasures appeared.

"Divine Body of All Things."

Li Yuan began to circulate the corresponding Star Art within his body, and an invisible force acted upon the numerous treasures.

He started to absorb the essence contained within them.

Even though Li Yuan had made thorough preparations,

Transforming the Earth Divine Body into the Divine Body of All Things would still require a very long time.

The transformation of the body couldn't be rushed.

Being too hasty might easily lead to mistakes in cultivation and hinder the body's transformation.

Ten minutes later,

With the assistance of numerous rare objects,

"The first one, a First Rank Mark of All Things!" Li Yuan successfully imprinted a mark on his Life Star.

Even though it was a supreme Star Art, it was still a First Rank mark, and Li Yuan found it extremely easy to cultivate.

In just one day, Li Yuan cultivated the 'Divine Body of All Things' to the First Rank limit.

But his body didn't undergo significant changes.

"Second Rank Mark of All Things." Li Yuan thought, "This is the real challenge."

The difficulty of imprinting the Second Rank mark suddenly increased dozens of times over.

...

Time passed day by day, and Li Yuan cultivated diligently within the Ancient God Palace.

Changes were also occurring in the outside world.

September 10th.

Tianliang Star, outside a Star Realm entrance.

A group of powerful beings stood in the void, each emitting a strong aura.

The leader was a man with golden hair, wearing purple royal robes. His nose was high, and his deep-set eyes gave off a domineering aura.

Beside the golden-haired man stood a black-clad youth, the weakest in terms of aura.

"Teacher."

The black-clad youth couldn't help but transmit a sound, "Even with Lu Lei and Rolbis' high talents, there's no need for you to personally welcome them."

His teacher was one of the peak existences in the entire Heavenly Virtue Civilization—the Jin Liang Demigod.

"Now, he's even one of the three major speakers of the Heavenly Virtue Civilization, with an extremely terrifying strength, undoubtedly at the peak of the Demigod Realm."

"Fu Yuan, your talent far surpasses that of Yu Fu and the others. Now, as an Origin Warrior, your skill has reached the middle stage of the sixth level... But your mental state is far inferior, and you need more tempering."

Fu Yuan was the number one Origin Warrior of the Heavenly Virtue Civilization in this era! His strength was probably close to that of Jiang He... But he hadn't participated in the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm.

"Disciple will keep that in mind." Fu Yuan replied, but he didn't truly care.

Suddenly!

Ripples appeared on the light curtain in the distance.

"He's here." Jin Liang Demigod's eyes slightly narrowed, and not just him, but the few Demigods and peak Flying Heaven Realm experts around him also brightened, filled with anticipation.

Only Fu Yuan was clueless.

Boom!

A youth in a black battle armor stepped out and walked out of the Star Realm entrance.

As he appeared, the entire world seemed to change, and a bloody and violent aura spread out, causing the many Flying Heaven Realm experts present to change their expressions.

Even the weakest among them, Fu Yuan, felt a slight suffocation.

This aura was too terrifying.

Everyone had to admit that facing this youth in black battle armor, even the powerful Jin Liang Demigod, paled in comparison.

"Jin Liang, it's been a long time." The youth in black armor spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Night Amber, after so many years, your strength has grown even stronger." Jin Liang Demigod spoke sincerely.

Boom!

Fu Yuan's eyes widened as he finally understood who the other party was!

Night Amber Demigod, the number one Demigod of the Thousand Demon Civilization, was known as the existence closest to a deity in the Thousand Demon Civilization.

He had come?
