Chapter 524: 525: Advancement, Cui Mang Level Spiritual Power!
His body was uncontrollably blown into the sky, heading straight for the space storm at the top of the heavens!
Instant teleportation!
Lin Zhen instantly returned to the ground, standing immovable like a mountain!
His feet seemed to be rooted firmly to the ground, and with his immense power, Lin Zhen managed to resist the blowing Gang Wind within the Suspended Island.
“Heavens! This wind is too strong. If it were on Earth, it would be enough to cause a mass extinction, definitely at least a level 25 wind.”
After steadying himself on the ground for a while, Lin Zhen gradually adjusted to the Gang Wind on the Suspended Island.
Within the Gang Wind, the power of space storms surged, and various elemental energy currents ran rampant. Although not as violent as a real space storm, it was something that ordinary people definitely couldn’t resist.
But at this moment, the advantage of Lin Zhen having learned all elemental energies manifested itself; he was basically immune to the energy storms within the Suspended Island, and these energies were not enough to harm him.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Zhen could continue to survive on the Suspended Island without dying here.
However, he could only survive within the Suspended Island and did not dare to enter the surrounding meteorite belt – that was a true hell and absolutely not to be approached.
He raised his head and looked at the three Heaven Steles in the center of the island.
Within the storm, the three Heaven Steles seemed to have been standing there since ancient times, remaining motionless despite being battered by the Gang Wind.
“I have returned. The Insect Clan chased me here, but I managed to escape. They certainly won’t let it go, so it’s definitely impossible to leave now. No one can enter here, so it’s just perfect for me to practice at ease.”
Lin Zhen still had some Coldstones in his Space Ring. He tidied them up and, with great difficulty, began to trek towards the Heaven Steles in the face of the storm.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhen began to feel hungry and had to stop temporarily. He used Light Annihilation to form a makeshift tent, ate a little, and regained his strength.
It took Lin Zhen several hours of stopping and going before he finally arrived at the foot of the Heaven Steles.
“I have already comprehended the Boundary Tablet, now there are two remaining – the Illusion Character Tablet and the Quiet Character Tablet.”
“The Illusion Character Tablet is the Spiritual Power Tablet. Feng Qingluan had cultivated her Spiritual Power to the Cui Mang level here before, and I must comprehend it as well.”
“The Quiet Character Tablet is the Time Law Tablet, and it is the most challenging to comprehend among the three tablets. When I learn it to its highest level, I can make time stand still within a piece of space. Since I am here, I must learn it.”
Lin Zhen looked left and right and decided to learn the Illusion Character Tablet first.
This way, at the very least, he would not leave empty-handed. As long as he could elevate his Spiritual Power to the Cui Mang level, his return to the Suspended Island would be worthwhile.
Upon arriving at the first row of stone pillars, Lin Zhen couldn’t even jump up. He could only embrace the pillar with both hands, like a giant gecko, and climb up from the ground.
When Lin Zhen arrived at the top of the pillar, the Gang Wind was even more intense.
Lin Zhen activated his immovable-like-a-mountain Heart Like a Mountain state, his body becoming like an oversized plumb bob, firmly fixed to the stone pillar. The wind blew so harshly that it made his skin ache.
“Thankfully, my Black Hole Beast body is incredibly strong. If an ordinary Constant Star Stage practitioner was here, they might have been blown to pieces.”
Lin Zhen absorbed a Coldstone, and everything in front of him suddenly brightened up.
Characters emerged on the surface of the Spiritual Power Tablet.
“Humans have vitality, spirit, and Spiritual Power being the concentrated expression of Martial Artists’ vitality, spirit, and willpower. Spiritual Power is a Martial Artist’s second battle capability, and the most unpredictable battle method… Spirit… Control…”
As more and more characters appeared, Lin Zhen continuously absorbed Coldstones at a rapid pace.
In terms of understanding Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen was definitely exceptional, being 100% proficient in Sky Blue. Before Feng Qingluan had advanced to the Cui Mang level, Lin Zhen had never met anyone who surpassed him in Spiritual Power. At most, they were only on par with him.
However, the explanation of Spiritual Power here was more thorough, allowing Lin Zhen to immediately understand some aspects that he had previously only grasped the basics of.
“The first row is not challenging at all for me; I can skip it.”
In ten minutes, Lin Zhen had finished comprehending the first row. In fact, more than half of it was the knowledge he had already grasped. He went straight down from the stone pillar and climbed up the second row of stone pillars like a monkey.
The second row was also simple. In fact, the first five rows were not very difficult for Lin Zhen. In a total of ten days, he had reached the sixth row.
It was only now that the real comprehension began.
There were two items to comprehend in the Spiritual Power Tablet: the Spiritual Control Method and the Spirit Cone!
The Spirit Cone was an upgraded version of the Spiritual Power strike, condensing Spiritual Power into a beam that could easily break open opponents’ Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Even those whose Spiritual Consciousness Sea had been solidified, like the Insect Clan, could still be broken open by the Spirit Cone.
The Spiritual Control Method, on the other hand, controlled objects as if they had life of their own and attacked accordingly. For example, in the case of a flying knife, Lin Zhen’s Seven Stars Knife had never been particularly powerful because he had not used the Control Method. It could only move in a simple straight line. In a real battle against a strong opponent, it was not very useful.
This was a technique that Lin Zhen had always wanted to learn. Now that he had found it here, he was naturally overjoyed.
With a set goal in mind, Lin Zhen carefully studied everything, completely ignoring the external world.
His main body was now undergoing harsh cultivation on the Suspended Island, while his split body had opened a shop for Star Shift Masters on Kirin Holy Star. The large amount of materials he had obtained back then was sufficient for his split body to develop to the point where he could forge Artifacts.
As long as he can produce artifacts on a large scale, Lin Zhen can quickly earn Cosmic Crystals and advance towards Supreme Five Stars users.
Although this process might be lengthy, Lin Zhen has full confidence to keep going.
Time flew during his cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, ten months had passed…
Lin Zhen had reached the tenth row of the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele.
As long as he could reach the tenth row, Lin Zhen could fully learn the Spirit Control Technique and Spirit Cone.
But as he had just arrived, a wave of pressure came from his Spiritual Consciousness Sea.
Just like peeling a boiled egg, the original sky blue qi ball began to have a slight crack, revealing a bit of green.
Stars flickered, dazzling Lin Zhen’s eyes!
After cultivating for so long, his Spiritual Power finally broke through again, advancing to Cui Mang Rank!
Strong vitality spread throughout his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, and his five senses were once again greatly enhanced. Through the storm, Lin Zhen seemed to be able to see things millions of miles away!
No wonder Feng Qingluan could detect enemies on the Phoenix Habitat Star earlier than him. It was because her Spiritual Power was stronger than Lin Zhen’s.
However, Lin Zhen’s breakthrough this time was different from Feng Qingluan’s.
When Feng Qingluan reached the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele, her Spiritual Power hadn’t reached the perfect sky blue level yet, while Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power was stronger than hers.
After the emergence of Cui Mang, Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea was like a jade containing starlight. And after the breakthrough, it rapidly grew to 20% of the Cui Mang Rank!
His accumulation was too deep, ready to break through during his enlightenment but had been suppressing it. Until he reached the tenth row, under the Spiritual Resonance of the Illusion Tablet, he finally made a breakthrough!
“This is beautiful! This is the true transformation of Spiritual Power!”
Threads of green flowed, beautiful and powerful.
It must be said that Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power was too strong. His current level of Spiritual Power was almost impossible to achieve within the Star System Stage scope.
Even Domain King level experts would have difficulty possessing such Spiritual Power.
Lin Zhen had always been troubled before. When fighting against the Insect Clan, a race with solidified spiritual bodies, his Spiritual Power was virtually useless and couldn’t affect the opponent at all.
When high-level Martial Artists fought, even split-second differences could determine life and death.
If he could use his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen wouldn’t fear the Insect Clan’s experts, even if his Star Power was still insufficient.
Now, with 20% of Cui Mang Power, Lin Zhen’s control over the Seven Stars Knife will be his sharpest weapon, capable of cutting through any opponent’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea!
Lin Zhen was momentarily excited, but quickly calmed down. Given his current strength, very little could stir his emotions now.
After the growth of his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen’s learning speed doubled!
Places that he couldn’t fully understand before suddenly became crystal clear.
First, he quickly improved in learning the Spirit Control Technique. In the Simulations, he played with his Seven Stars Knife exceptionally well.
When facing opponents below the Star System Middle Stage, Lin Zhen didn’t have to use his full strength, as the power of his Seven Stars Knife alone could easily kill them.
Each flying knife seemed to have an individual controller, with various knife techniques making it difficult to defend against.
Without extremely strong Spiritual Power, it would be impossible to achieve this. This was Lin Zhen’s great gain.
Of course, the money in his card was also being rapidly drained. The earnings from his avatar on the Kirin Holy Star paled in comparison to Lin Zhen’s spending rate.
Nevertheless, this was all worth it. Lin Zhen was continuously training in the Simulations.
Ten days after his Spiritual Power advanced, in the Simulations!
An opponent at Star System Level 6 was struggling in the net of knives woven by Lin Zhen’s Seven Stars Knife.
Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz~~!!!
Seven elemental flying knives crossed paths like thunder and lightning.
No matter how this Star System Level 6 opponent struggled and dodged, the blades followed him like maggots on decaying flesh, with tight coordination and an unpredictable barrage of attacks.
“Puff, puff, puff~~!!!”
Unable to withstand the onslaught, the Star System Level 6 expert was struck in the brain, heart, and dantian by three flying knives!
A second later, the Seven Stars Knife furiously pierced and slashed, reducing the powerful Star System Middle Peak expert to mere pieces!
“Master! Congrats! You have successfully killed an expert with a Star Power of two thousand without even using your own strength, just by relying on the power of the Seven Stars Knife. Your Spirit Control Technique has been mastered!”
