Chapter 178: 149: The Transformation of Strength (Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Deep into the night, in the basement of the villa, Li Yuan's spirit was exceptionally good.
Having read through the entire "Life Star Awakening Summary," Li Yuan continued to read the main text and numerous annotations of the seven high-rank cultivation methods.
Many of the annotations were directly left by Dongfang Ji.
"The human body is like the universe, with billions of stars within it, which are innately divided into Life Star Veins and Deathly Silent Star Veins."
"Different races, beings from various space-time civilizations, have vastly different star meridian trajectories within their bodies."
"The quantity and position of Life Stars vary greatly, which is why the 'Star Meridian Techniques' collected from various races in foreign domains can only serve as references and cannot be used directly."
"One must create their own method."
"Although there are differences among individuals of the human race, the number and position of star meridians in the human body are generally the same... but the number of Life Stars and the number and location of Life Star Veins in each person's body are different...
Yet, there is a commonality that causes the Life Star Veins of many people to be the same from birth," Li Yuan read through many annotations.
He had come to understand the fundamental differences between the seven high-rank cultivation methods.
The human body's star meridians might number in the thousands or even tens of thousands, but the vast majority are 'Deathly Silent Star Veins.'
Deathly Silent Star Veins cannot be cultivated.
Only Life Star Veins!!
"Creating one's own method means awakening one's Life Star Veins and absorbing Origin Power," Li Yuan realized. "And the seven high-rank cultivation methods derived by human civilization to this day are actually about finding common Life Star Veins that many humans have, and then imprinting spiritual marks to fully awaken the Life Stars."
However.
Even if the star meridians in the human body are the same, individual differences are still huge, and to date, the seven high-rank cultivation methods can only match less than one-tenth of humans.
...
"The number of Life Star Veins and the quantity of Life Stars determine the level of potential."
"Some beings may have hundreds of Life Star Veins within their bodies, but if each Life Star Vein has fewer than 12,960 stars, they are doomed to be unable to cultivate Origin Power. Even if external forces make them Prime Warriors, they have no hope of creating their own techniques."
"A small number of people may have only a few or even just a handful of Life Star Veins in their bodies, but each one contains more than 60,000 or even 90,000 Life Stars. According to messages from civilizations beyond our realm, the legendary talent refers to a star meridian where all 129,600 stars are Life Stars."
"Such talent is extremely rare and is known as the Perfect Star Vein."
"If such a Perfect Life Star Vein were to be fully awakened, it would be equivalent to multiple partially awakened Life Star Veins..." When Li Yuan came across this annotation, he was shocked and began to understand the condition of his own body.
And he made some estimations.
"Perfect Star Vein?"
"My perfect awakening in one night was aided by the 'Spiritual Guidance' from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace," Li Yuan wondered. "But the fact that I have a Perfect Star Vein and so many Life Stars... is it the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace? Or my own innate talent?"
Li Yuan was more inclined to believe it was his innate talent.
Because, Li Yuan clearly remembered.
In the Life Star space, those threads of purple mist were what helped him perceive the vast and endless 'Life Star space,' quickly distinguishing between Life Stars and Deathly Silent Stars.
Thus imprinting spiritual marks, awakening!
Moreover.
Li Yuan also remembered that during that brief moment of sensation and observation.
The number of 'Life Stars' he had imprinted were just a minority, and there were still a massive number of stars emitting faint light in the Life Star space, yet to be awakened.
No choice, Li Yuan's spiritual power was only so strong at the moment.
To divide his thoughts so many times and awaken 129,600 Life Stars in one go was already his limit.
"That is to say."
"Without Spiritual Guidance, under normal circumstances, after becoming a Prime Warrior and sensing the Life Star space, I might also be able to awaken some Life Star Veins," Li Yuan understood. "But it certainly wouldn't be this fast, nor would it be possible to quickly awaken this star meridian to perfection."
...
"Spiritual Guidance probably means fully tapping into my already high talent for Origin Power," Li Yuan mused to himself.
This was very important.
All things have spirit. In history, countless people with extraordinary talents never found a high-rank cultivation method that matched them, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary people... just like a genius being abandoned alone in the wilderness, where the best outcome would be becoming a feral man.
External environment is more important than talent.
"Next, as my spiritual power further improves, I will be able to gradually attempt to awaken my Life Stars myself," Li Yuan was quite looking forward to it.
The strength of spiritual power is closely related to the number of Life Stars awakened.
This is why martial artists place great emphasis on spiritual power.
...
"Having fully awakened this star meridian, I have begun to create my own cultivation technique," Li Yuan revealed a smile. "What should I name it?"
"The seven high-rank cultivation methods are all based on the properties of Origin Power."
As the star meridians operate, they absorb a large amount of external Origin Power. Most of it will be gradually absorbed by the body, but a significant portion will remain between the star meridians.
This Origin Power.
Can rapidly repair injuries throughout the body, creating a big surge in vitality.
Can trigger and enhance weapons, making them sharper and more durable, and can generate the Origin Power Battle Suit... all with many wondrous effects.
Given different talents, the Life Star Veins awakened and the resulting Origin Power will have their emphases.
For example, a Human Race Prime Warrior compliant with the "Blazing Flame Burning Sky Sutra" would cultivate Fire Origin Power.
As with the "Vast Ocean Infinite Water Sutra," it's about cultivating Water Origin Power.
And the "Hefty Earth Star Constellation Sutra" involves Earth Origin Power...
"Now it seems that, in the video from Rob Sea, Yu Jinghe's outbreak of power when killing enemies involved Metal Origin Power," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The outward release of Origin Power is indeed a match for Flying Heaven Warriors with the body of a Prime Warrior, an extraordinary talent."
Over the centuries.
The seven high-rank cultivation methods created by human civilization include two methods for cultivating Earth Origin Power, two for Water Origin Power, and one each for Fire, Metal, and Wood Origin Power.
