High-Level Martial Era

Not long ago, when the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" reached First Rank Level 8, Li Yuan felt only slightly stronger than at Level 7, with a clearer sense of the fluctuations of Earth Source Power.

But there was no real transformation.

Yet, the moment Li Yuan branded the 116,640th Life Star, causing his Star Technique to reach an entirely new level... the previously somewhat scattered 100,000-plus branded Star Marks on the Life Stars seemed to have reached a certain limit.

Quantitative changes led to a qualitative transformation.

In an instant, the whole Perfect Star Vein erupted completely, also causing Li Yuan's perception of the outside world to undergo an earth-shattering change... Transformation.

"This?"

"Perfect Star Vein?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.

Unwittingly running the Star Meridian, it took a long time before Li Yuan gradually adapted and the faint glow emitted from the Star Meridian finally converged completely.

But that was just the convergence of light. The Supreme Star Technique that was imprinted on the Star Meridian was still maintaining its operation.

"Supreme Star Technique."

"Earth Vein." As Li Yuan operated this Star Technique, he could clearly sense the wonderful changes born from the fluctuations of heaven and earth around him.

Very mysterious.

It made Li Yuan truly feel the delight, the comfort.

The Earth Source Power fluctuations, which Li Yuan had already felt quite clearly before, were at this moment several times clearer... If before he was nearsighted, now he was wearing glasses.

"In this state, it should be much easier to comprehend the mystery of the Earth Vein in nature than before," Li Yuan thought, astonished: "Truly incredible."

Of course, Li Yuan understood in his heart.

Be it Flying Heaven Level spiritual power or an auxiliary Star Technique like the "Supreme Star Technique," they fundamentally still count as external forces, bridges to help understand the mystery of nature... How far one can go still depends on individual comprehension.

Just like Flying Heaven Warriors, each possesses Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, but many find it hard to step into the realm of Sixth Stage skills.

"If I were to describe it, comparing understanding the mysteries of nature to studying," Li Yuan mused.

"Without Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, I would be like a student in an ordinary school, with both the teaching staff and fellow students being quite ordinary."

"With Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, I become the 'key student' at a top school, with the best teachers."

"And the Supreme Star Technique... is like having the best teacher in the country teach me one-on-one!" Li Yuan's heart surged with excitement.

Although how far one can go still depends on one's personal effort.

But the external environment is crucial to a person's growth.

"Cultivating this Ninefold Star Technique, while it may not seem as powerful as those formidable Slaughter Star Techniques, which can unleash earth-shattering destructive power, it continuously provides assistance, increasing my speed of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth." Li Yuan was full of anticipation: "Allowing me to achieve Sixth Stage skills faster, and perhaps even...

step through the gate to Seventh Stage Laws."

Previously, he had estimated it would take months to reach Fifth Stage High Rank... Now, it seemed it would only be faster.

"Moreover."

"This type of auxiliary Ninefold Star Technique, although not known for combat, is not completely ineffective in battle." A smile crept onto Li Yuan's lips.

Whoosh!

The Black Chen Spear suddenly appeared in Li Yuan's hand, followed quickly by an explosive burst from the long spear.

Infused with Origin Power, the long spear instantly burst forth with countless starlights, with its Spear Light's might sweeping through the mysterious stone chamber, making it as bright as day once more.

"Clearly, my skills have not changed, but the power of heaven and earth that I invoke is much stronger than before, by at least thirty percent," Li Yuan hazily judged.

The mysterious power of heaven and earth invoked is not something that can be precisely captured.

But one thing was certain—under the operation of the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," the power Li Yuan harnessed when using the Stellar Spear Technique was significantly greater.

"Compatibility."

"Through the Star Technique, my compatibility with the Earth Vein is higher." Li Yuan had a moment of realization: "So, when I use various True Intent Killing Moves of this type, will their might become stronger too?"

Just like a crocodile in water being far more formidable than on land.

Similarly.

The high compatibility with the Earth Vein made not only Li Yuan's comprehension of 'Stellar True Intent' much faster, but also the might of the corresponding True Intent Killing Moves much greater.

"Worthy of being a Supreme Star Technique." Li Yuan inwardly marveled: "So formidable."

According to the many pieces of information Li Yuan knew, just the slight increase in combat strength that came with the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" was enough to rival many of the more combat-focused Third Layer and Fourth Layer Star Techniques of the same rank.

"And this is only First Rank Level 9." Li Yuan's eyes showed a hint of anticipation: "What level would it reach if I could cultivate it to Second Rank Level 9?"

The "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" given to him by Bai Shan Semi-Divine was incomplete, with only the 'Star Mark Cultivation Method' for the first two ranks.

Higher ranks? Bai Shan Semi-Divine didn't have them.

"This is enough for now."

"For any Star Technique, whether it's a First Layer Star Technique or a Ninefold Star Technique, a Prime Warrior can at most cultivate up to Second Rank, a Flying Heaven Warrior to Third Rank, and a Semi-Divine to Fourth Rank." Li Yuan thought to himself.

It corresponds one-to-one.

Because only if the Life Level continuously undergoes transformation, and even a true leap, can the Life Star within undergo Transformation... then one can cultivate a Star Technique to a higher level.

... "Let's begin."

"See if I can cultivate the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' to the Second Order Limit." Li Yuan put away the long spear with a wave of his hand and sat down cross-legged. Explore more at empire

He immediately continued cultivating the Star Technique.

To elevate a Star Technique from First Rank to Second Rank is to further brand the Life Stars already imprinted with Star Marks on this Star Vein... with even more powerful and mysterious Star Technique Star Marks.

Branding Starmarks demands a lot from the Life Star, and high requirements for both spiritual power and profound comprehension.
