Chapter 1851 New Techniques

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Ding Lingdang was sworn in as the highest Supreme Speaker of the Federation.

Every habitable planet in the Star Glory Federation had a different trajectory of both rotation and revolution, which resulted in differing seasonal changes or day and night cycles. However, judging from the passion of the people and the heated construction sites everywhere, all the planets and space stations had crossed the bitter winder enshrouded in the gloomy clouds of war. Their boundless vigor was brought back again as they entered the golden years of the warm spring.

Ding Lingdang, as the Speaker of the Federation, was naturally busier than ever.

The parliamentary system of the federation had been adopted for more than six hundred years. Today, an enormous team of staff and advisors would assist the Speaker in decision-making. However, lots of the issues—such as inspecting different places in the federation, calling for the people to work hard, and coordinating the interests of different sects and even different planets—had to be done by the Speaker personally.

Li Yao attended several such activities as the spouse of the Speaker. He could not have complained more and thought that those tasks were more intolerable than any crazy training he had ever done.

He could not help but admire Ding Lingdang, too. He knew that Ding Lingdang was the same type of person as him. Neither of them had ever been fond of such grand ceremonies with all the formalities, but she was now gritting her teeth through everything. There was really no telling how much she suffered below the surface.

In that regard, Li Yao was unable to offer much help to his wife. 'Spouse of the Speaker' was not his only identity. Like Ding Lingdang, he had thousands of troublesome matters that he needed to deal with. In whatever spare time he had, he was occupied in new training, too.

Before Professor Mo Xuan perished, he had sent Li Yao a lot of files on training and experiments. It was said that the approach to the Divinity Transformation Stage was stored inside. Naturally, Li Yao needed to study the files well.

Besides, a lot of soul pieces of the extraterrestrial devils that were similar to the tenebrum energy were still lingering inside his brain. He had to purge and digest them as soon as possible. Otherwise, should they consolidate and ferment to a certain degree, they might prove to be a new disaster.

Training, training, and crazy training!

Seizing every fragment of time in every second and every minute, Li Yao began the craziest training. He seemed to be back to the simple years in college, or the time deep inside Yan Xinjian's residence below Spider Den where he was forced to train himself in seclusion.

In the craziest training, Li Yao summarized the tiny details in the adventures and fierce battles he had in the past hundred years and condensed them into the newest understanding deep inside his soul, preparing to advance into the legendary Divinity Transformation Stage!

For other people, the Imperium of True Human Beings was like a sword hanging high above their heads.

But for Li Yao, the Imperium was a thorn that was stuck in his throat.

He would certainly visit the Imperium someday.

It was not just because Boss Bai had set off earlier to excavate the legacies of the Supreme Emperor and the Blood God.

It was also not just because the situation in the Imperium was unknown and mysterious. The Imperium had probably learned of the existence of the Star Glory Federation and could send out a new expedition army any minute. So, they had to take action before the enemy did. At the very least, they needed to know the Imperium and the Covenant Alliance better in order to come up with effective countermeasures.

More importantly, the weird dream and the land of origins that always haunted Li Yao… Earth.

Li Yao still had no idea if Earth really existed and where it was exactly if it did.

However, from his obscure memory pieces, he remembered hearing a statement declaring that he was sent from Earth to the edge of the cosmos and the borderland of the civilization of mankind.

Then, it would be easy to infer that if Earth did exist, it must be somewhere at the center of the cosmos.

The logic was very simple. If Earth was at the edge of the cosmos in the first place like the Star Glory Federation, such a statement of 'send you to the edge of the cosmos' would be ridiculous. It would be more appropriate to say that Li Yao would be sent to the center of the cosmos, or the other side of the cosmos.

Since the phrase 'edge of the cosmos' was adopted, it implied that the mysterious earthlings in the uncanny dream considered themselves residents at the center of the cosmos and that they were very used to it.

Thus, in order to find out the secrets about Earth, he had to go to the center of the cosmos.

The closer he was to the center of the cosmos, the closer he would be to cracking the mysteries about Earth.

The Imperium of True Human Beings was the only option right now. Both for the federation and himself, Li Yao could not wait to march to the Imperium!

However, it would not be easy to barge into the Imperium. Even an expert at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage might not be able to get everything they wanted at the core circle of the Imperium. As strong as Heiye Ming had been, and despite the support of a whole fleet, he had still been kicked to the edge of the cosmos like a stray dog.

He would have to enter at least the Divinity Transformation Stage in order to be at ease in the perilous, mysterious, and unpredictable environment so that he could protect himself and change the situation in the Imperium. Eventually, he might even be able to find Earth!

Inside the training room, Li Yao was sitting cross-legged very comfortably, with his upper body naked. His muscles and veins did not protrude much, but the air that he breathed out of his nostrils did not disperse but lingered around his body, moving in the same rhythm as his heartbeat, breath, and pulse.

It was a very ordinary, if not shabby, training room. There were neither high-burden training cabins that had dozens of times the standard gravity nor spiritual puppets with the most advanced performance and the fiercest firepower for real-battle tests. Instead, a lot of civil magical equipment was placed on the ground randomly, including housecleaning magical equipment, automatic cooking magical equipment, refrigeration and instant unfreezing magical equipment, and so on.

The devices had one thing in common. They were all embedded with some silicon chips whose structure and functions were quite simple.

Li Yao's eyes were half closed. Thousands of runes were running down inside his brain like currents and waterfalls. There were countless sophisticated algorithms and formulas, too.

His soul, on the other hand, was carefully sorting through all the information like a needle pulling a thread.

The crazily dancing runes gradually congregated into an overwhelming river. He then guided the 'river of runes' into his limbs, veins, and internal organs.

After the runes and the spiritual energy were condensed, they were immediately glittering in octagonal halos circulating inside his body time and time again. Gradually, he was cast into a hollow, unconscious trance. Ego, id, superego, the three levels of the soul, were separated layer after layer like water, sand, and pebbles.

It was the most mysterious state. Part of the soul was still lingering inside Li Yao's fleshly body, but part of the soul had jumped out of the cracks in the skull and burst three feet above his head like fireworks into thousands of waterdrops. Every water drop reflected him from different angles.

Li Yao's breath stagnated in that moment, and his soul was like a windchime in the gentle breeze, stopping at the tipping point between 'stillness' and 'action'.

It was almost like he had grown ten thousand more eyes, which were evenly distributed in three to five meters around him, allowing him to see ten thousand different pictures. Every picture was so vivid and clear that even a grain of dust floating in the air was reflected from every perspective in the most detailed way!

At the same time, he seemed to have grown ten thousand ears. The subtlest functioning noises of all the civil magical equipment around him turned into the sounds of the most violent tsunamis when they crashed and congregated and flooded into the depths of his soul.

Li Yao's every brain cell was moaning. His brain immediately turned into an exploding star. He tried to combine the ten thousand high-resolution pictures into an indescribable 'super high-resolution dynamic hologram', only to find that the job was too much for him. The high-resolution pictures only lasted half a second before they were twisted into a mottled, broken kaleidoscope. Every piece of the kaleidoscope bombarded his brain brutally like a furiously burning shooting star.

Li Yao grunted and gritted his teeth to exit the amazing state. Despite the excruciating pain inside his head, his face brimmed with excitement.

Is this the unbelievable Divinity Transformation Stage that Professor Mo Xuan described in his notes?

Constructing an enormous 'field' and 'domain' with the spiritual energy and projecting the soul out of the body will transform the dozens of square meters around, or an even greater range, into part of the brain and body of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator!

Then, it will no longer require retinas, optical cells, or optic nerves to see or eardrums, cochlea, and other organs to hear. As long as one makes use of the waves of the soul and the perception of the mind, it is possible to observe the infinite world within dozens of square meters from infinite perspectives clearly!

With a telepathic thought, it will be easy to count the hairs inside the enemy's nostrils. This is the magnificence of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Li Yao was brimming with amazement. Had it not been his personal experience, it would have been hard for him to imagine that such an astonishing level existed in the world. He felt that he had truly melted into the surroundings and the entire universe.

Of course, in a battle, level was not the only factor that mattered. The higher levels required more massive spiritual energy to sustain. Li Yao had grasped the preliminary tricks and could waste the tenebrum energy of the extraterrestrial devils that he had swallowed extravagantly. But still, the state had collapsed after only half a second, when the 'domain of his soul' had expanded to less than five meters away.

Even a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator as strong as Heiye Ming could not have persisted in such an amazing state for two minutes if they were not completely dedicated to the improvement of personal combat ability.

For the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators such as Meng Chixin or Wu Suiyun who were heavily wounded before, their situations would be even worse. It was possible that they had theories and understandings but could not bring out their real combat ability.

Of course, after perceiving the mysteries of the Divinity Transformation Stage, it would be easier and more comfortable for him to fight in the Nascent Soul Stage than regular Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

After only three months, he had seen part of the mysteries of the Divinity Transformation Stage and experienced the state for half a second. Li Yao was already more than satisfied.

Consuming a large bottle of tonic drugs that were a hundred times more expensive than gold, Li Yao rested for a moment. Then, he rubbed his hands in excitement like a child who had a city of toys and began his new training.

His telepathic thoughts invaded the civil magical equipment around him like octopi and entangled the control chips of the magical equipment.

His telepathic thoughts did not stop on the surface of the chips but leaked to the deeper structure of the chips in a form similar to electric currents!
