Inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.
"Climbing upstairs?" Li Yuan hesitated, and although he received such guidance, his consciousness still didn't dare to move.
Li Yuan hadn't forgotten that the first time, it was his rash desire to climb upstairs.
As a result, he was hit so hard that his consciousness nearly collapsed.
"Let's first see if there's any difference from the previous two times when Origin Power entered my body," Li Yuan thought.
He attempted to draw upon the 'golden mist' that might exist on the second floor.
But this time, there was no response!
"I can only try," Li Yuan's consciousness stepped onto the white jade staircase.
As expected.
"Boom!!" It was as if a hammer of immense and terrifying power smashed down on his head, causing Li Yuan's entire consciousness to thunder and explode.
Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan still felt dazed; the oppressive impact was much stronger than the first time.
It was as if the consciousness shock from the white jade staircase was tailored to Li Yuan's spiritual power level—the stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the impact encountered.
Fortunately.
Li Yuan today had greatly surpassed his past self, not only in terms of much stronger spiritual power but also in significantly increased willpower, still barely maintaining his consciousness clear.
"Continue." Li Yuan's consciousness continued to climb toward the higher steps of the staircase.
"Rumble~" The oppressive weight on his consciousness came like rolling stones, continuously impacting him.
"Hold on," Li Yuan roared inside.
He moved forward step by step with difficulty.
The higher he went, the more difficult it became, causing his consciousness to feel intense pain, as if it were about to collapse.
However, compared to the torment and pain of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Dryness, this was just child's play.
After a good ten minutes.
Phew!
Even Li Yuan's strong consciousness felt as if it was about to completely dissipate under these relentless impacts, held together solely by his powerful will, desperately resisting.
At last!
Thump~ Li Yuan's consciousness crossed the white jade staircase and truly arrived at a higher level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.
Perhaps the second level.
Phew!
The moment he set foot in, the unprecedented oppression instantly disappeared without a trace.
"If I hadn't used the Visualization Method to refine my consciousness to be this powerful, I probably would have found it very difficult to overcome the barrier of this white jade staircase," Li Yuan realized.
The Mind Spirit Divine Palace was indeed an inconceivable opportunity, whether it be the Visualization Method or the Divine Palace panel, both were extremely special.
But without enough effort.
Just relying on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the achievements would be much smaller, one might even be blocked at the first level.
...
"What's in the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?" Li Yuan looked around.
This level had a similar layout and structure to the first, with a Jade Platform in the center of the great hall as well.
Its appearance was similar to the Great Sun Jade Platform on the first floor.
But its exterior was interwoven with gold and black.
"Another Jade Platform?" Li Yuan pondered, "Could it be that my consciousness is also required to coalesce on top of the platform?"
He observed the surroundings for a long while.
Li Yuan confirmed that this level had neither the staircase leading to the higher levels of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace nor any other objects.
There was only the black and gold interlaced Jade Platform in front of him.
"It's the only one," without other options, Li Yuan's consciousness already coalesced above the platform.
The next moment.
"Boom!" Li Yuan's consciousness surged into it like a tide, incapable of stopping the process.
Swiftly, the scenery of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace around Li Yuan's consciousness changed.
He found himself in a boundless Dark Space.
This Dark Space, he had visited twice before.
No, to be precise.
This mysterious space was no longer purely dark, as Li Yuan could vaguely see hundreds, even thousands, of stars shining dimly.
A large number of stars formed a strange trajectory, illuminating the Dark Space with a faint light.
"Upon my second entry, I recorded these Stellar Trajectories, which haven't disappeared?" Li Yuan was puzzled, "What exactly is this Dark Space?"
The third time he entered.
The biggest difference from the previous two times was that Li Yuan's consciousness remained absolutely clear.
As time passed, Li Yuan's consciousness was trapped in the Dark Space, unable to leave.
Gradually.
Hum~ In the Dark Space, at some point, streaks of purple light exuding a strange allure appeared, all emanating from the depths of the Dark Space.
They swiftly floated toward Li Yuan's consciousness.
"What is this?" Li Yuan sensed from afar, feeling strange powers from these purple streams.
Full of vitality and also full of temptation.
Phew!
Before Li Yuan could think further, the first stream of purple gas already darted toward his consciousness, merging into it directly.
In an instant.
"Huh?" Li Yuan's consciousness observed that his vision of the entire 'Dark Space' had changed.
"What is that?"
"Stars?" Li Yuan quickly 'saw' them, this dark space seemed boundless, with no end in sight, but within this endless expanse, beneath the darkness, there seemed to exist countless stars.
One after another, the stars were infinite, surely numbering in the billions and beyond.
They emitted no light, which was why Li Yuan hadn't been able to see them before.
It was the purple mist from earlier that had granted Li Yuan a form of 'x-ray' vision that transcended space.
It allowed him to overlook and observe a vast portion of the dark space.
"Dark Space."
"Infinite stars." Li Yuan had an epiphany, and at the same time, he also noticed.
Amongst these billions of stars, there seemed to be a very few that were not purely dark, their surfaces seemed to flicker with a bit of light.
This light was extremely faint.
Without the enhancement from the purple airflow, Li Yuan definitely wouldn't have been able to 'see' these faint lights, but now he could see them clearly.
"Could these very few stars be exceptions?" Li Yuan pondered.
He now recalled what Dean Hai had once said about the body being like the universe, filled with billions of dead stars.
How similar it was to the scene before him.
Could it be that the few luminous stars he observed were the 'Life Stars' within his own body?
What should he do then?
Just at this moment.
"Seek the subtle in the dust, unite the two into one, essence of Sun and Moon, start forging the Spiritual Foundation…" That vast and ancient voice he had heard many times before once again echoed within the dark space.
Ethereal!
The voice was so faint, but it seemed to contain a special magic power that influenced Li Yuan.
"Seek out the subtle glow of stars, unite the Divine with the stars…" Li Yuan gradually came to understand.
It seemed to be an action made subconsciously.
Or perhaps it was an unnoticed guidance from that ancient voice.
Whoosh! Li Yuan's consciousness spread out instantly, as if fragmenting into countless parts.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Thousands upon thousands of thoughts, in a single moment, crossed the vast dark space, sensing the deathly stillness and the subtle light of innumerable stars… Each thought reached a star that emitted a faint light.
The next moment, countless thoughts integrated into these stars, trying to imprint their own mark.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The entire dark space suddenly shook, and the next moment, within the endless dark space, stars began to radiate light… The number of illuminated stars, originally only in the thousands, began to climb rapidly.
Three thousand, five thousand, nine thousand, twenty thousand… The number surged uncontrollably.
As many strands as Li Yuan's consciousness had divided into, that many stars were illuminated. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Gradually.
If someone could observe the entire dark space, they would be shocked to find.
Among the tens of thousands of illuminated stars, a significant number of them formed various trajectories, already linked to each other.
Conveying a sense of 'perfection'.
"Rumbling~" When a large number of stars on a single stellar trajectory were fully illuminated, it seemed to initiate and trigger some special power.
One could see tens of thousands of stars on the trajectory starting to move.
Just like celestial bodies in motion!
They truly 'came alive'.
...
Inside the underground Martial Arts Room.
"Hum~"
Li Yuan, who was seated cross-legged, had his body's most minute layers, made of countless flesh and blood, gradually emitting fine rays of light.
These rays of light were almost undetectable, invisible to the naked eye.
But interconnected, they were like 'blood vessels' from another dimension, already spanning various parts of Li Yuan's body—from his limbs and arms, abdomen, and even his brain
forming a complete cycle.
With the establishment of this cycle, akin to an ecosystem, autonomous evolution began immediately.
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~
Strange forces began flowing swiftly through those countless 'rays of light' to the inner depths of Li Yuan's body.
It was Origin Power!!!
Rustling~ These strange forces, coursing through the traces of light, gradually reached every deep part of Li Yuan's body.
This extremely pure Origin Power, containing not a trace of impurity, was quickly absorbed by the muscles and bones of Li Yuan's body.
Driving his body to begin its transformation.
To enhance rapidly.
Even as the Origin Power flowed, a small amount gradually blended into the path of light instead of being completely absorbed by Li Yuan.
If a Flying Heaven Warrior were here, through their powerful spiritual sensing, they would surely make out.
Li Yuan, seated cross-legged.
Unwittingly, his body's inner walls had a large number of Life Stars illuminated, forming the rudiments of a High Rank Cultivation Technique, which started to operate on its own!!
This news, if spread, would definitely shock the entire human civilization.
Because, only when one's Physical Quality reached level 20, could the Life Stars be fully illuminated to form a complete 'Stellar Trajectory' and truly run an Origin Power Method.
This has been an ironclad rule for hundreds of years.
But today.
This ironclad rule, was completely shattered by Li Yuan!!
