High-Level Martial Era

Although he had gained many inheritances and cultivated a multitude of Star Techniques, deep in Li Yuan's heart, what he always regarded as the most important was the Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein".

This was a Supreme Star Technique.

It enhanced one's affinity with the Law of Earth, greatly increasing the efficiency of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Skill is the foundation.

In a short period of time, Li Yuan had advanced his understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth to near the Intermediate Rank... The contribution of this Supreme Star Technique was indispensable.

And yet, Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the First Order Limit.

In fact, over the past year, Li Yuan would use the Earth Origin Crystal every now and then in an attempt to imprint the Second Order Star Mark on his Perfect Star Vein... but failed time and time again.

"My attainment in the Earth Vein is high enough, and my understanding of the Second Order Star Marks is sufficiently profound. With just a thought, I can condense the Star Marks in the void," Li Yuan mused, "When it comes to auxiliary cultivation materials, the Earth Origin Crystal is certainly enough."

"Spiritual power? Among Flying Heaven Warriors, mine is extremely strong."

Therefore, there was only one possibility—the body was not strong enough!

The body is the foundation of all cultivation. The stronger the body, the stronger its ability to nurture the soul and the origin of the Life Star.

"When I cultivated the 'True Solution of the Earth Star Vein' to the First Stage, I was already a Prime Warrior, naturally able to easily bear the First Order Star Mark," Li Yuan thought. "I've now cultivated to level 29.9... but to perfectly support the Second Order Star Mark of a Supreme Star Technique, the requirements for the Life Star's origin probably are extremely high."

The more powerful the Star Technique, the more stringent the requirements for cultivation.

...

He took out a small piece of Earth Origin Crystal.

Surrounding himself with it, Li Yuan initiated a thought to start absorbing the essence contained within the Divine Crystal.

Hum~ A massive influx of strange energy.

Under Li Yuan's deliberate guidance, it gradually poured into that Perfect Star Vein.

Instantly, each Life Star's brilliance surged, making Li Yuan's sensation of the Life Stars far clearer than ever before by countless times.

"Let's begin."

"Branding the Star Mark." Most of Li Yuan's consciousness was entirely focused on the Perfect Star Vein.

Rumble~

The first Life Star trembled violently as strands of Origin Power merged into it, attempting to construct the Second Order Star Mark.

A new Star Mark bearing invisible might was born, immediately increasing the pressure on the entire Life Star, causing even Li Yuan to feel a slight discomfort in his body...

"Although I've cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, my body is still slightly weak," Li Yuan immediately deduced. "This makes the Life Star's origin not strong enough, but it can barely withstand it."

Just like a planet with limited resources can normally only support a billion people... if it were inhabited by a hundred billion, there would be various problems due to resource scarcity, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire planet.

It's the same with cultivating Star Techniques.

If the body is not strong enough, if the origin of the Life Star is not strong enough, then it cannot bear too powerful Star Marks...

"If I became a Flying Heaven Warrior and experienced a leap in Life Level, cultivating with a Third Rank body would probably be quite easy," Li Yuan mused. "But if you want to cultivate it as a Prime Warrior, you need a very strong Body Refining Star Technique as a foundation."

Body Refining Star Technique comprehensively promotes the leap in Life Level.

"Still need to use a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals to aid my cultivation," Li Yuan's body strength was already close to the Prime Warrior's limit, just barely able to endure.

However, even with a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals, the speed of imprinting the Second Order Star Marks was very slow.

After a long time.

"Hum~" The Second Order Star Mark of the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" was finally successfully imprinted with the first one.

"To have one means there could be a second," Li Yuan thought. "But just to successfully imprint one, so much essence of Earth Origin Crystal was consumed... to fully cultivate it successfully?"

With a thought, Li Yuan made a quick calculation and swiftly came to a conclusion.

To use Earth Origin Crystals for the entire cultivation process, at least Divine Crystals worth over a hundred thousand points would have to be exchanged from the Seven Star Treasury.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to cultivate this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.

"How many points do I have? How could I spend them all on this?" Li Yuan shook his head inwardly and waved, putting away the Earth Origin Crystal that was suspended around him.

After cultivating the "Great Earth Divine Body" to the Second Order Limit, the number of Five Elements Divine Crystals in Li Yuan's hands was also running low.

"It seems."

"I need to return to World within Worlds and use that stone chamber for cultivation. Only then will there be hope of cultivating the Star Technique to the Second Order Limit," Li Yuan thought.

After a short contemplation, he sent a message to Duanmu Mountain Master, stating his request.

"This news, once passed back, will probably surprise the upper echelons. I estimate they'll also guess that I have secrets in the World within Worlds," Li Yuan mused.

But Li Yuan wasn't too concerned about it.

The present was different from the past. When he had first received the Ancient Torch Divine inheritance, his vision and strength were nowhere near what they are now. Out of caution and not daring to expose himself... he had no clear understanding of the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.

But now, looking back, individuals like Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji possessed very impressive resources, and there seem to be no shortage of Divine Being Inheritances.

Besides.

Although Li Yuan had shown promise back then, he hadn't joined the Martial Divine Hall nor truly caught Dongfang Ji's attention.

Facing the potential coveting of a Demigod, one naturally has reservations.

Now? With an increase in strength and status, as long as Demigods do not act directly, Li Yuan fears no one.

...

Within the palace at the very top of Seven Star Mountain.

Duanmu Hong awakened from his meditation, looking at the request posed by Li Yuan, he was somewhat astonished: "Isn't the World within Worlds of the Fierce Feather Star Realm only accessible to First Order beings?"

"Could it be that Li Yuan has an additional right to enter?"

Duanmu Hong didn't dare to be careless. After some thought, he made another transmission.

Soon, communication was established.

"Mountain Lord, what's the matter?" a deep and cold voice sounded.
