High-Level Martial Era

Boom!

The terrifying force, exceeding 500,000 kilograms, with the augmentation of Origin Power, was fully exerted upon the stone door.

After a full two seconds, that silent stone door, whose age was unknown, finally began to be pushed open, followed by it slowly moving back.

One step!

Two steps!

Li Yuan didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent and exerted his full power in a continuous effort.

At last, the stone door was completely opened, revealing a gap wide enough for an entire person to pass through, and Li Yuan could no longer push it.

Boom!

A rich fragrance spread out, a torrent of endless Origin Power fluctuations and the aura of the Earth Origin Crystal... as well as another mysterious aura.

It made Li Yuan feel completely refreshed, his muscles and bones as if cheering in excitement.

"What exactly is it?" Li Yuan first flipped his hand over, producing a piece of bread, and directly threw it through the gap, but there was no response.

At the same time.

As the gap in the door opened, Li Yuan's Divine Sense finally encountered no more obstructions; upon inquiry, it seemed that there was merely an ordinary stone chamber behind the stone door.

Without further hesitation, Li Yuan slowly stepped into the stone door, placing himself entirely within the space behind it.

"This place?" Li Yuan finally confirmed.

It was nothing but a hemispherical stone chamber about thirty feet in diameter, without any extra objects. The ground and the walls above his head were extremely smooth... impeccably clean, as if not even dust was permitted.

At first glance, it was an utterly ordinary secret chamber.

But!!

"It's different, the energy of Earth Origin Crystal comes transmitting from within the chamber, and it seems mixed with another Divine Crystal's aura, which gives me a very violent feeling... Could it be the Fire Divine Crystal?" Li Yuan was a Flying Heaven level soul.

His realm was extremely high, and he had practiced the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein." How keen was his sensing of Earth Vein's treasures?

No less than that of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior.

"Without the Earth Origin Crystal, could it be?" Something occurred to Li Yuan, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and immediately practiced the Spirit Concentration Technique.

He operated the Perfect Star Vein!

He perceived the mysterious air fluctuations traveling through heaven and earth... the energy fluctuations of the Earth Origin Crystal.

He began rotating the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein."

"Humming~" Instantly, streams of Origin Power entered Li Yuan's Star Meridians, and with the influx of Origin Power, threads of the Earth Origin Crystal's mystical energy also rushed in.

This mystical power quickly blended into his Star Meridians and muscles and bones.

After just a short while.

Boom! Li Yuan's consciousness became clearly aware of the Life Stars within the Perfect Star Vein...enough for him to start brandishing new Star Technique Star Marks again.

"Hahaha."

"I understand now, I really do." Li Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled, "So that's it, this place must be the core of the Origin Power Vein; the chamber has neither Earth Origin Crystal nor Fire Divine Crystal... But this mysterious chamber, it's like a huge Spirit Gathering place. Training here, I can continuously absorb the energy of Earth Origin Crystal."

The absorption was very slow.

Because the Divine Crystal energy diffused in the chamber was very sparse... The efficiency of absorption, he guessed, was only a tenth of that of absorbing a real Earth Origin Crystal.

"One tenth efficiency?"

"It doesn't matter if cultivation is slow, I have plenty of time. If I keep this up, won't I be able to swiftly cultivate the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' to the Second Rank level 9?" Li Yuan's heart was full of excitement.

It was a Ninefold Star Technique, which if cultivated to a significant degree, would yield unbelievably powerful effects.

Even now, having only cultivated the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" to First Order level 6, its usefulness had been astonishing.

Without this Star Technique, Li Yuan's recent technical improvement simply couldn't have been so rapid.

As time passed, after confirming that all was correct.

Li Yuan first transmitted a message to Alicia... fortunately, the chamber didn't cut off the signal.

"Let's begin."

Li Yuan calmed his mind and began to truly focus on absorbing the energy of the Earth Origin Crystal... then, just like the last time, through spiritual induction, he started rebranding the 'Starmark' on each Life Star anew.

With his first experience in cultivation.

Now Li Yuan was cultivating the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" once again, and it was as effortless as could be; ten Life Stars, a hundred Life Stars, a thousand Life Stars...

Adding one more Life Star seemed inconspicuous.

But as the number accumulated, the change in quantity could induce a qualitative change. Explore new worlds at empire

Last time he practiced a Star Technique, Li Yuan had branded Star Marks on more than 80,000 Life Stars of the Perfect Star Vein.

Today's cultivation, though the efficiency of branding was greatly reduced, had the advantage of stability and constant progress.

Finally.

When the number of Life Stars upon which Li Yuan branded a Starmark reached 90,720... Boom!

Li Yuan could clearly sense, with the rotation of the Star Meridian, the earthy yellow glow of the entire Perfect Star Vein became even more dazzling.

At the same time, Li Yuan could sense that his perception of the Earth Source Power fluctuations between heaven and earth was vaguely becoming more distinct.

"First Order level 7," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and became increasingly expectant.

A Fifth Layers Star Technique, when cultivated to the limit at each rank, can only reach level 5.

For example, First Order level 5, Second Order level 5 – that is the height of Perfection for a Fifth Layers Star Technique.

Whereas a Ninefold Star Technique, when cultivated to the utmost at each rank, can reach level 9; for instance, First Order level 9, Second Order level 9... Once unleashed, the difference in power is vast.

That is also why some exceptional Flying Heaven Warriors can cultivate a Seventh Layers Star Technique to Third Rank Perfection and compete against many Demigods who use a Fifth Layers Star Technique.

Li Yuan.

Now he was on the path of cultivating a Ninefold Star Technique to the First Order Limit.

"A Ninefold Star Technique, when perfected to a certain stage, is known as an invincible Star Technique! Only then can one be considered to possess a Supreme Star Technique," Li Yuan thought to himself, "'The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' is a Ninefold Star Technique as shown on the Divine Palace panel."
