Uncle Black stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke, "Release your Astral Soul for me to see."
Qin Wentian nodded his head, and with a slight intention of his will, the Astral Gate opened. Instantly, the Shadow of the Heavenly Hammer appeared above his head, incomparably resplendent. Not only that, at the edge of this resplendent Astral Soul, a golden halo could be seen revolving around it, as though symbolizing the nobility of this Astral Soul.
"The Astral Souls condensed from the first 3 Heavenly Layers from the Nine Heavenly Layers will have a faint golden halo around them. The higher the grade of the Astral Soul, the more terrifying the energy it contains, and the luster of the Astral Soul will also be different. The halo of the Astral Soul will grow brighter and brighter, and at the middle 3 Heavenly Layers, the luster of the Astral Soul will transform into a pure golden color. Hence, the moment you release your Astral Soul, others will know that you have condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer."
"However, normally speaking, only Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns would be able to open 4 Astral Gates, and condense an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. Since you are still young, you have already condensed an Astral Soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer. This kind of talent will bring you many benefits, but it will also bring you bad luck. Do you understand?"
Uncle Black slowly explained to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded his head, he naturally understood this logic. Autumn Snow's first Astral Soul was from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, and her name had already shaken the entire Chu Country. If the news of him condensing an Astral Soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer were to spread out, many people would want to recruit him, but there would also be people who would want his life.
Cultivation was divided into the Body Refinement Realm, Arterial Circulation Realm, Yuanfu Realm, and finally, Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns.
Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were terrifying existences that transcended Yuanfu. It was said that in the entire Chu Country, it was extremely rare to even hear of a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign. If a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign appeared, a single Heavenly Dipper Sovereign could rule an entire country.
"The acupuncture technique I taught you, there's a technique that can suppress the color of your Astral Soul. Do you remember it?" Uncle Black asked again.
"I remember." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"Fine, your first Astral Soul originated from the 5th Heavenly Layer, the Heavenly Hammer Constellation. It will bestow upon you an extremely powerful attack and defense. Although I won't interfere with your future cultivation, you still have to be more cautious when you condense your second Astral Soul. If you can restrict the movements of others to aid you in your attacks, that would be a good idea.
It will grant you an extremely powerful attack and defense. Although I won't interfere with your future cultivation, but when you condense your 2nd Astral Soul, you should still be more cautious.
"Go." Uncle Black closed his eyes as Qin Wentian retreated, arriving at the edge of the training grounds. There was a bookshelf here, with many books placed on it. These were all the fruits of Uncle Black's hard work. Qin Wentian had started reading them since he was young, and had already read through them several times now. Among them, the majority of the books were related to acupuncture techniques. Qin Wentian guessed that Uncle Black's Astral Soul might be related to acupuncture techniques.
These acupuncture techniques were extremely broad, there were healing techniques, meridian flow techniques, techniques to stimulate one's potential, etc. Now that he had become a stellar martial cultivator, he could infuse Astral Energy into his acupuncture techniques, allowing him to utilize even more of his strength.
Qin Wentian retrieved a book and read through it. After which, he sat down cross-legged and started to insert silver needles into the acupoints of his head. Not long after, he could sense that within his Astral Gate, the luster of his Astral Soul was gradually fading. This would only change the luster of his Astral Gate, but it wouldn't affect the strength of his Astral Soul.
Qin Wentian didn't know that the acupuncture technique he cultivated was an extremely rare secret art. It couldn't be found even in the entire Chu Country.
After a long period of time, Qin Wentian removed the silver needles. Opening his eyes, he murmured in a low voice, "Now, unless I intentionally use Astral Energy to stimulate these sealed acupoints, only then will my Astral Soul regain its original luster."
After which, Qin Wentian took out the Yuan Meteor Stone, and sensed the Astral Energy within. It was extremely vast, and should have originated from the 2nd Heavenly Layer.
Yuan Meteor Stones were extremely valuable, as they were meteorites that fell from the Nine Heavenly Layers. The amount of energy contained within the Astral Martial Constellations in the Heavenly Layers was incomparably terrifying. Stellar Martial Cultivators could only use their will to slowly absorb the energy from the Astral Martial Constellations. Hence, even a small piece of Yuan Meteor Stone could contain a terrifying amount of energy.
Not only that, this Yuan Meteor Stone could also be used to increase the probability of one condensing an Astral Martial Constellation. For example, if Qin Wentian used this Yuan Meteor Stone in his hand to meditate, it would be easier for him to sense the parent Astral Martial Constellation within the Yuan Meteor Stone and condense an Astral Soul. Hence, many cultivators used Yuan Meteor Stones to step onto the path of Stellar Martial Cultivators.
From this, one could see how valuable Yuan Meteor Stones were. If one wasn't from a prestigious clan, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to obtain one.
"The amount of energy contained within this Yuan Meteor Stone, in addition to the tyrannical nature of the Heavenly Hammer Constellation, should be able to aid me in my breakthrough." Qin Wentian mused, as he took out the Dragon Subduing Fist manual and flipped through it. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This Dragon Subduing Fist was an innate technique.
The Body Refinement Realm was the foundation of one's Martial Path. It was a realm where one's fleshly body was perfect. In this realm, it was impossible for one to cultivate innate techniques, and could only cultivate the foundation of innate techniques. Only when one broke through to the Arterial Circulation Realm would one be able to cultivate the tyrannical power of innate techniques.
This Dragon Subduing Fist was an extremely powerful innate technique. It contained both the stances and innate techniques, allowing Wu Xiu to cultivate from the stances all the way to the innate techniques.
The Dragon Subduing Fist had a tyrannical and tyrannical foundation, and its power was akin to that of a dragon. There were three stances: Raging Dragon Emerging from the Sea, Dragon Soaring in the Wild, and Nine Heavenly Dragon Roars.
"During the day, I'll cultivate the Dragon Subduing Fist, and at night, I'll borrow the power of the Yuan Meteor Stones to comprehend the Constellations, raising my cultivation base. I hope that within these two days, I'll be able to grow stronger and regain some face for the Qin Clan." Qin Wentian silently mused. Cultivating Astral Energy at night was much more effective than cultivating during the day.
"The first stance of the Dragon Subduing Fist manual, Raging Dragon Emerging from the Sea. Although the stance seems simple, it requires an indomitable momentum. When a raging dragon emerges from the sea, how tyrannical would it be?" Qin Wentian carefully read through the main points of the stances in the manual, before attempting to cultivate it in the training grounds. Punching out, he imagined the energy within his body to be that of a raging dragon, unyielding and ferocious, rushing out from the sea.
"Something's wrong, my movements are slow and sluggish. I don't have the coordination and coordination of the stances as depicted in the manual." Qin Wentian continued to reflect on himself as he cultivated, unceasingly perfecting his technique. After a long time, Qin Wentian stopped and closed his eyes in contemplation. In his mind, it was as though he could see the image of a dragon, tyrannical in form, ferocious in might.
Abruptly, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, as a brilliant light flashed within them. He lowered his waist and took a step forward, his body resembling that of a dragon. With an enraged roar, he transformed into an enraged dragon, punching out with his fists. A thunderous sound echoed out as the stone block in front of him directly exploded, sending debris flying in all directions.
"Hu … …" Qin Wentian's long hair fluttered in the wind. His handsome eyes were as bright as the stars as he glanced at his fists. The might of this technique was already so powerful. If he were to step into the Arterial Circulation Realm in the future, he would be able to execute the innate technique of the Dragon Subduing Fist. How terrifying would that be?
The Raging Dragon Emerges From The Sea was gradually completed, but Qin Wentian didn't stop there. He continued to immerse himself in his cultivation. This feeling of immense power caused his blood to boil with excitement.
Until nightfall, when Qin Yao sent a maid to call him for dinner, Qin Wentian was immediately sent away. He only chose to cultivate in the enclosed training grounds of the backyard. In a single night, with the aid of the Yuan Meteor Stone as well as the Tempered Thousand Hammer Refinement Technique, he managed to raise his strength to the peak of the 4th level of the Body Refinement Realm.
Not only that, the immense amount of Astral Energy contained within the Yuan Meteor Stone was completely absorbed by him. From this, one could see how terrifying his sensitivity towards Astral Energy was.
During the day, Qin Wentian didn't stop his cultivation of the Tempered Thousand Hammer Refinement Technique until he broke through the restrictions of his cultivation level and stepped into the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm. If news of him breaking through to the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm were to spread, it would surely shock the world.
After his breakthrough, Qin Wentian didn't have the slightest intention to rest. He immediately started to practice the second stance of the Dragon Subduing Fist, Dragon Rages In The Wild.
In the span of two days, Qin Wentian neglected to eat or sleep, wholeheartedly immersing himself in his cultivation.
Another day, the constellations in the sky gradually dissipated, as the eastern horizon was illuminated by a ray of white. Qin Wentian opened his eyes, feeling extremely refreshed. However, he seemed to have something weighing on his mind, as he stared at the sky in a daze.
Today was Bai Qingsong's birthday celebration, and also the day when the various powers gathered at the Bai Residence.
Thinking back to everything that had happened in the past few days, Qin Wentian felt as though he was in a dream. Bai Qingsong repaid kindness with enmity, Autumn Snow's heartlessness, Bai Qing 'er's innocence, and his foster father's iron-blooded loyalty. And now, in the blink of an eye, he had already become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, and had condensed an Astral Soul. All of these should be resolved today.
