High-Level Martial Era

He watched Trick leave.

"Did that guy just casually ask, or was he deliberately testing me?" Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Orders had been given long ago.

Their operations in Rob Sea were confidential and generally unknown to the public.

Even someone with a massive background like Dantai Feng was unaware.

Trick, a newcomer who had just joined the Martial Divine Star Realm, how did he know?

"Report it."

"If he learned of it inadvertently, it won't affect him," Yan Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "But if he's a spy?"

Yan Jing was very concerned about Li Yuan's safety.

Firstly, in the battle at Rob Sea Star Realm, Li Yuan had turned back to face the enemy alone, which deeply moved Yan Jing. In a sense, it was like saving his life.

Secondly, from the moment he fully recognized Li Yuan's talents and strength, he was clear on one thing: if he wanted to establish a foothold in the higher echelons of Starfire Martial Hall or Xia Country, then Li Yuan could very well become his biggest support.

Unlike other Demigods? Not so closely related.

...

Not long after.

"Re-investigate Trick." An order came from the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall, "Check his entire network of relationships, family member information, and review all traces of him in the virtual network over the past ten years."

"All day long, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, monitor him secretly for 24 hours."

Such scrutiny required mobilizing a large amount of resources and collaborative efforts from many departments.

Normally, Starfire Martial Hall members would undergo various checks before they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm.

But it was very rare to monitor them 24/7 after they had entered.

After all, if such actions were to leak, it would cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all the genius members of the Martial Hall.

People have secrets.

People have a need for privacy.

Nobody wants to be monitored 24 hours a day.

That's how criminals are treated.

But when it involves 'Spirit Gun' and even more so the foremost genius in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, everyone from top to bottom dares not be careless.

Just three days later.

"Trick is not the problem."

"It's his university professor, a top-grade Prime Warrior who is the spy! Secretly dealing with Tianliang Civilization... Proceed with immediate arrest."

"He used Trick's identity as a member of Martial Hall to attempt uncovering the true identity and whereabouts of 'Spirit Gun'." With expansive resources deployed and comprehensive surveillance, they finally found a trace.

And this!

Was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the Alien Race's efforts to probe the true identity and whereabouts of 'Spirit Gun', and only a minority were caught.

Many more probing actions were hidden, never revealed.

...

At Seven Star Mountain.

Days passed by.

Unaware of the turmoil outside, Li Yuan was engrossed in his concealed cultivation, wholeheartedly contemplating the Mysteries of Wind and Earth.

Whether it was the Wind Vein or the Earth Vein, Li Yuan was steadily improving, and he was getting closer to breaking through his bottleneck.

The Visualization Method, the awakening of the Life Star... all were progressing in an orderly fashion.

This is the magic of time.

Li Yuan had no more sudden insights.

But with time grinding on, his overall strength was steadily increasing, slowly but very stable.

In the blink of an eye, it was already August 2nd.

On this day.

After two hours of practicing Spear Technique, Li Yuan once again began to awaken his Life Star.

Inside Li Yuan.

That vast and somewhat gloomy star space of destiny.

"Tzz~" Li Yuan's spiritual power split into threads of thought, following the invisible fluctuations along the star meridians, sensing each star, and constantly trying to awaken them.

It was exceedingly slow, and occasionally he would fail!

The unawakened Life Stars were after all in the minority, with most being dormant Dead Stars. Each failure took a toll on his body and spirit, so Li Yuan was very cautious.

Suddenly——

Another Life Star awakened, and the moment it did, it made a subtle connection with another Life Star not far away.

Hum~ Hum~ The Life Stars connected to each other, and in an instant, this invisible fluctuation had traversed across most of the star space of destiny.

Causing that particularly brilliant star meridian to suddenly tremble, followed by a transformation of the meridian, making it even more dazzling.

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan was at first stunned, then a surge of joy welled up: "Seventh Layer Star Vein!!"

"I've achieved it." A sense of accomplishment arose in Li Yuan's heart.

The first star meridian was the Perfect Star Vein, which was activated with the first Spiritual Guidance of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with Li Yuan playing a minimal part, being mostly passive.

But the following four star meridians were awakened by Li Yuan himself.

Reaching the 'Seventh Layer Star Vein' level with the second star meridian was an especially joyous occasion.

The Fifth Layer Star Veins and Seventh Layer Star Veins are both crucial.

When he initially awakened the Fifth Layer Star Veins, practicing the Star Technique greatly increased Li Yuan's strength, allowing him to easily handle the so-called demigod-level genius when the Immortals Ruins Civilization descended in the World within Worlds.

"With the Seventh Layer Star Vein, I can begin cultivating 'Great Earth Divine Body'." Li Yuan looked forward expectantly.

"Stellar Mysterious Body" was just a Fifth Layer Star Technique, and it allowed Li Yuan to dominate among Prime Warriors and contend with ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.

"Great Earth Divine Body" is a Seven Stars Technique.

"The 'Myriad Gold Divine Body', the most famous star technique cultivated by the invincible Dongfang Ji among the Demigods," Li Yuan thought, "'Myriad Gold Divine Body' is equivalent to 'Great Earth Divine Body'."

From this, one can imagine the power of this star technique – even among demigods, it's extremely powerful.

For Origin Martial Artists and Flying Heaven Warriors, it is certainly a diminisher, one of the absolute top-tier techniques.
