Someone knocked on Chu Mu's door again. It was still Vice Commander Li Duan.
"Vice Commander," Chu Mu said and invited him into the small living room.
"I'm here to deliver something to you." Li Duan walked into the small living room and sat down. He frowned slightly as he spoke to Chu Mu. "But are you sure you want to exchange the privilege of the Best Recruit Medal for that body-refining cultivation technique?"
"Yes," Chu Mu replied in an affirmative tone.
"I suggest that you keep the privilege for now and try your best to raise your position in the Army of God within ten years. At that time, you'll be able to exchange for the highest grade item." Li Duan said, "But since you've already made your choice, then so be it. However, although this body-refining cultivation technique is very powerful, it's incomplete and only has one level. After mastering it, you'll be at the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Sword Of Gojoseon. However, for your subsequent cultivation, you'll either have to change the cultivation technique or find a follow-up cultivation technique."
"Vice Commander, I know what to do," Chu Mu said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Well, it's good that you know." Li Duan took out a jade that contained the contents of the first level of the Astral Calamity. After handing the jade to Chu Mu, he instructed Chu Mu to cultivate well and improve his strength before getting up and leaving.
After sending Li Duan off, Chu Li closed the door and rushed into the cultivation room with the jade in his hand.
The power of his divine sense emerged and entered the jade. Instantly, he felt the starlight that filled the sky. It was as if he was in the middle of a vast and boundless starry sky in an instant.
The starlight that filled the sky gave Chu Mu a feeling of being lost. Soon after, the starlight spiraled downwards and rushed towards Chu Mu, entering Chu Mu's body. Chu Mu immediately felt waves of information surging into his mind.
Half an hour later, the Cultivation Method Jade in his hand shattered with a cracking sound.
Chu Mu's eyes let out a bright light that was like starlight.
He had his own reasons for using the privilege of the Best Recruit Medal to exchange for the Astral Calamity body-tempering technique. It was indeed a very powerful body-tempering technique. He could reach the peak of the Blessed Realm just by mastering the first level. Compared to other body-tempering techniques, it was much more powerful.
The only flaw was that there was only one layer.
However, by cultivating it, Chu Mu's physique would be able to reach the peak of the Manifestation Realm. At that time, with just his physique alone, he would be able to contend against a peak nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. It was extremely powerful, and coupled with his terrifying Divine Wilderness Sword Essence, his strength would be enough to sweep away all nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon.
However, there was still a long way to go before Chu Mu could reach the nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. During this period of time, he could increase his strength while searching for the next level of the Astral Calamity technique. If he was lucky, he might find it.
In his opinion, instead of keeping the privilege for later use, it was better to use it directly and increase his strength as much as possible without damaging his potential.
He closed his eyes again and comprehended the first level of the Astral Calamity technique.
His entire person seemed to have entered the vast and boundless starry sky.
The Astral Calamity was indeed an extremely profound technique. Just the first level was already very difficult to comprehend. If not for Chu Mu's amazing perception, it would have taken him a very long time to comprehend it.
Time passed by. Chu Mu was completely immersed in comprehending and did not even notice that there was a knock on the door.
For three consecutive days, Chu Mu was constantly comprehending and finally succeeded in comprehending the first level of the Astral Calamity.
For a moment, Chu Mu felt the fluctuations of the power of the stars floating around his body.
The power of the stars was almost everywhere. Only in certain places could one not feel the power of the stars. As the starship sailed through the starry sky, countless amounts of power of the stars would pass through the surface of the starship and enter the interior. However, it was all filtered power of the stars.
In fact, the power of the stars was not singular. Some were hot, some were cold, and some were harmful to the human body. For example, if one was not an expert of the Eternal Realm, his body would not be able to withstand the rays of the stars.
The atmosphere of every life-bearing planet was enough to isolate most of the harmful starlight rays, and the hull of every starship had a layer of coating that could isolate the harmful starlight rays very well, allowing the harmless starlight rays to enter.
The fluctuations of the power of the stars that Chu Mu felt were the harmless rays of the stars.
In the past, he had to concentrate to feel the fluctuations of the power of the stars. Now, he could easily feel the fluctuations of the power of the stars, thanks to the Astral Calamity Body Refining Cultivation Method.
The clarity of the power of the stars was related to the efficiency of the Astral Calamity Body Refining Cultivation Method. Some people with outstanding talent could clearly feel the power of the stars and cultivate more easily. In places where one could clearly feel the fluctuations of the power of the stars, the effect of cultivation would be better.
"According to the technique, the first time I cultivate the Astral Calamity technique, the effects will be the most obvious. Especially when it's my first time cultivating the body. I wonder if my body will be able to improve significantly after cultivating it," thought Chu Mu.
Now that he had finished comprehending, the next step was to cultivate.
Strictly speaking, this was Chu Mu's first time using a Cultivation Method to refine his body.
Holding his breath, he cleared his mind and entered the state. The fluctuations of the power of the stars around him suddenly became clearer.
Following the method of the first level of the Astral Calamity Body Refining Cultivation Method, he began to cultivate. Instantly, the power of the stars around him was attracted and rushed into Chu Mu's body. As soon as the power entered his body, Chu Mu immediately felt a strange aura.
It was cold and hot at the same time, but also seemed to be alternating between cold and hot. There was also a numbing feeling. Under the guidance of the Cultivation Method, the numbing feeling spread throughout his body. Suddenly, his muscles felt a sense of tension. Gradually, it was as if the power of his physique was about to be condensed, like a hemp rope being twisted together.
Chu Mu wasn't distracted in the slightest. He knew that this was the first time he practiced a body refining technique. Although his body was strong, he had never practiced a proper body refining technique before. Therefore, there was a sense of disunity. Now that he was starting to practice a true body refining technique, he was gathering the strength of his body that was like a plate of loose sand into a single force.
The stronger the Cultivation Method, the more obvious this process would be. And the stronger the physique at the beginning, the more obvious the effect would be.
All the muscles and bones in his body suddenly felt as if they were being tied up. Creaking sounds could be heard. It was as if it was very uncomfortable, but also as if it was very enjoyable. This strange contradictory feeling made Chu Mu feel like he was going crazy.
Fortunately, his willpower was firm and he wasn't disturbed. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would have been wasted.
The first time he cultivated a Cultivation Method, he had to successfully condense the power of his disunity. This was a very important process that couldn't be interrupted. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted. The next time he wanted to cultivate it, the difficulty would be even greater, and the effect would be even worse.
For the sake of a better Cultivation Method, no matter what, Chu Mu had to persevere.
As he continued to cultivate, the power of the stars was constantly being absorbed by his body. The power of his physique was like a python that condensed and swam through his body. Under the treasured robe, every muscle on Chu Mu's body expanded and contracted. It was as if there really were pythons swimming through his muscles.
Chu Mu's body, which wasn't very strong to begin with, seemed to have shrunk even more, becoming a little skinny.
The power of the stars constantly converged and fused into Chu Mu's body. It constantly integrated the power of his physique and condensed it.
All the bones in his body began to crackle. At first, it was relatively slow, only once every few breaths. But as time passed, it became faster and faster, and the frequency became higher and higher. Gradually, it was as if countless sounds were connected together. Within the crackling sounds, Chu Mu's body trembled uncontrollably.
He felt as if all the bones and muscles in his body were trembling, as if they were about to explode. A tyrannical power swam through his muscles. Everywhere it passed, his muscles would swell to the point of bursting.
His body temperature was also rapidly rising. His blood was boiling, and steam was rising from his body, curling up into a white cloud above his head.
More and more power of the stars converged and the fluctuations became increasingly intense. It even seeped out of the room, allowing people passing by to feel it.
"What is Chu Mu cultivating? The power of the stars is actually so intense. "Shangguan Hua, who had come to look for Chu Mu, stopped in front of the door and wondered.
Then he turned and left. Since he knew that Chu Mu was cultivating, he knew that the power of the stars was so intense that it wouldn't end in a short period of time. And since the door was closed, no one would barge in, so he didn't need to worry about being disturbed.
Chu Mu didn't know that someone had come to look for him while he was cultivating. He was completely immersed in his cultivation and didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
The massive star-level battleship sailed through the vast starry skies. With its length of ten thousand meters, it would definitely be a colossus in the Primeval Era. But in the vast starry skies, it was just a drop in the ocean.
One day, two days, three days …
Unknowingly, five days passed. It was also the fifth day since Chu Mu started cultivating the first stage of the Star Calamity cultivation method.
The white cloud above Chu Mu's head dissipated and his body temperature returned to normal. His blood was no longer berserk and his heartbeat returned to normal. He looked as if everything was normal. The power of the stars hovering around him also began to weaken, indicating that Chu Mu's cultivation was about to come to an end.
After another fifteen minutes, Chu Mu's mouth slightly opened. Suddenly, the sound of wind and thunder roared. A white and turbid aura spurted out from his lightly opened lips. It was like a sharp sword that cut through the air, piercing through the void and shattering the wall in front of him.
The walls of a star-level battleship were incomparably hard. Even if the Nine Star Sword Of Gojoseon attacked with all his strength, he still wouldn't be able to damage it.
Thus, the price of a star-level battleship was extremely shocking. It was countless times more expensive than a meteor-level battleship. Only major powers could afford it. Almost no one could afford it.
The aura dissipated and he opened his eyes. In that instant, it seemed as if there were stars swirling in his eyes. His pupils seemed to transform into the vast starry skies, unfathomable.
It only lasted for an instant before disappearing. Chu Mu's lips curled into a faint smile, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
