High-Level Martial Era

```

After imparting the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," Star Lord Bai Shan had discussed many key points of this method with Li Yuan.

Each Life Star contains the essence of a creature's life.

To brand Star Marks on the surface of a Life Star is, in essence, to make subtle adjustments to the essence of each Life Star with powerful spiritual power and superb skill.

Of course, it's only an adjustment to the surface... and not a complete change of a star.

Thus, as long as there are enough Life Stars branded with Star Marks, once the Star Meridian is activated, these Life Stars will trigger a chain reaction... eventually unleashing inconceivable power.

This is exactly why.

A Star Meridian, as an entirety, under normal conditions, can only cultivate one Star Technique.

Cultivate multiple Star Techniques within a single Star Meridian? Once the Star Meridian is activated, it's easy for the non-homogeneous Star Technique Star Marks to collide with each other, potentially causing fatal harm to oneself.

These are lessons learned by many predecessors with their blood and tears.

Similarly.

Some Star Techniques with extremely terrifying power, to run completely, must also have a sufficient number of Life Stars to drive them together... demanding the Seventh Layer Star Vein and even the Eighth Layer Star Vein, Nine Layer Star Vein.

"According to Star Lord Bai Shan,"

"My skill and spiritual power are sufficient, and I have the Earth Origin Crystal to stimulate the potential of the Life Stars... As long as there is a certain degree of compatibility with the Earth Vein, branding the Star Marks should quickly become successful as proficiency increases," Li Yuan recalled Bai Shan's words, "But to succeed on the first try?"

"Is it because of skill? Spiritual power? No! Definitely not!"

"Given Star Lord Bai Shan's perspective, he is well aware of my level in these areas, and it's unlikely he made a mistake in his estimation... so there are only two possibilities," Li Yuan thought, "First, my compatibility with the Earth Vein is extremely high, to an astonishing degree, so branding the Star Marks is much easier."

"Second, it's the Perfect Star Vein... just as low-tier Star Meridians struggle to cultivate High-Level Star Techniques, conversely, a powerful Star Meridian will find it much easier to cultivate ordinary Star Techniques."

A powerful Star Meridian is like fertile soil; whatever is planted in it grows easily.

"No matter."

"Whatever the reason, being able to succeed so quickly is still good news."

"I'll strive hard to see if I can fully master the basics of this Star Technique," Li Yuan quietly closed his eyes.

With a thought, he continued to activate the Perfect Star Vein, absorbing the peculiar power contained in the Earth Origin Crystal.

Actually, Li Yuan had initially tried to see if he could cultivate on his own.

He found that, without the Earth Origin Crystal, the Life Stars were too dim, and he could only manage a vague perception... he couldn't hope to perform complex operations on the surface of the Life Stars.

Only with the aid of the Earth Origin Crystal did Li Yuan have the hope to now cultivate the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein."

Time passed.

Whoosh~ The Earth Origin Crystal was continuously absorbed by Li Yuan, and he went all out, with full spiritual power perception, persistently trying... one after another, Life Stars were successfully branded with Star Marks.

One after another...

Even if he occasionally failed, Li Yuan quickly adjusted.

Life Stars are the essence of life, and as many Life Stars on the Perfect Star Meridian were branded with Star Marks... they quickly integrated into Li Yuan's flesh and blood.

Gradually, as the Star Meridian operated, it brought about many subtle changes to Li Yuan's perception of the outside world.

Each Life Star caused only a minuscule change, very inconspicuous.

But sand accumulates to form a tower!

A hundred!

A thousand!

Three thousand!

When the surface of tens of thousands of Life Stars were branded with Star Marks, it naturally resulted in a slight but noticeable change in Li Yuan's entire aura.

Finally, when Li Yuan had branded the 12,960th Life Star... boom!

Under Li Yuan's perception, the Star Meridian operated, and the entire Perfect Star Vein's surface seemed to be enveloped in a hazy earthy-yellow glow.

Very dim, but clearly visible.

At this moment, Li Yuan felt that his understanding of the entire world had vaguely undergone a subtle transformation... indescribable, ineffable.

"Perception!"

"The Wood Source Power, Fire Source Power, and so on, remain unchanged... it's the Earth Source Power! My sensing of it is clearer," Li Yuan could clearly feel.

His perception of the subtle fluctuations brought about by the strands of Earth Source Power in the vast world became clearer.

The extent of the improvement was not very pronounced, but this was an unbelievable transformation.

Because!!

This kind of transformation was akin to someone's spiritual power transforming from Level 29 to Level 30, fundamentally improving one's efficiency in skill cultivation.

Although the effect wasn't as miraculous as a transformation of spiritual power, it was still incredibly magical.

"This is only the first step," Li Yuan thought with anticipation, "According to the information in the Star Technique, for every additional 12,960 Life Stars branded with Star Marks, the effect will increase substantially."

"Continue!"

Li Yuan devoted himself to cultivation, displaying great patience.

Sharpening the blade won't delay the chopping of firewood; the secret technique he was currently cultivating was laying the foundation, establishing a solid base for future skill cultivation.

As for tomorrow night's virtual battle final?

Li Yuan was quite at ease in his heart.

Even if he focuses on practicing his Spear Technique now, with only one day left, how much can he improve? 1%?

It's not meaningful.

Rather than that, it's better to fully cultivate this Star Technique to a high level first, perhaps yielding unexpected gains.

...

Time passed.

More and more Life Stars were branded with Star Marks by Li Yuan, and he became more proficient as he proceeded, his cultivation speed increasing, to the point where he could brand the Star Marks of over a dozen Life Stars with just a single thought.

The 25,920th, the 38,880th... every key milestone reached further enhanced the operation of the full Perfect Star Meridian, increasing its effect and producing more profound changes.

Layer upon layer of accumulation!

Similarly, Li Yuan's frantic cultivation of the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" also caused the 'Earth Origin Crystal' in his possession to dissipate at an alarming rate.
