"You've succeeded? Are you saying that your body now has the strength of a bull?" Su Ruohan asked happily.
"Yes, Mother. During the day, I successfully lifted the millstone a hundred times and achieved the strength of a bull."
Good, that's great. "
Su Ruohan grasped Zhou Yang's hand, her eyes filled with joy.
"Mother, don't worry. I'll think of a way to cure your illness soon. As for your face, I'll not only restore your beauty, I'll also make those who disfigured you pay the price." Zhou Yang's face darkened as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His mother was a famous beauty in the county city. After marrying the general, it could be said that she was deeply doted on by the general. But because of this, she was envied by the second madam.
Framing, shifting the blame, plotting, disfiguring, everything. In the end, the mother and son were forced to live in the side courtyard, living a life worse than that of a servant.
"Appearance …" Su Ruohan shook her head. "Mother no longer cares about appearance. As long as you can become a cultivator, even if I die, I will have no regrets. Son, go and verify the legend. I'll wait for your good news."
Zhou Yang nodded and returned to his room to take a bath. After chatting with Guo Dazhuang for the entire afternoon, he began to regulate his breathing.
The night was as cold as water, the stars in the sky nodded.
The skylight on the roof slowly opened. Zhou Yang sat on the wardrobe closest to the skylight, staring at the stars in the sky.
The Astral Soul was formed from the energy of the stars in the sky. There were three ways to awaken it. The first way was to awaken it naturally. This kind of person could awaken their Astral Soul the moment they formed it.
The second way was to fuse with the Astral Soul Stone like him.
The entire county city knew that he failed to fuse with the Astral Soul Stone, but only he and his mother knew that he was an innate awakened. But the strange thing was that although his Astral Soul had always been hidden in the Astral Nucleus, it seemed to be in a deep slumber. Because of this, he was unable to fuse with other Astral Soul Stones.
Three years ago, when he failed to fuse with the Astral Soul Stone, he was depressed. In order to alleviate his pain, his mother found many ancient books for him, and soon after, she saw a legend.
Legend has it that when Zhenwu Great Emperor was young, he was unable to fuse with the Star Soul Stone. However, he inexplicably awakened his Star Soul at the age of 16. Some experts speculated that it was an innate Star Soul hidden within the body. Because it was too powerful, it could not be awakened at a young age. The only way to awaken it was to push the body to the limit of one bull's strength.
Without an Astral Soul, it was impossible to cultivate. Wanting to increase one's strength to that of a bull was simply a pipe dream in the eyes of others.
But in the midst of despair, it was as though he had grabbed hold of a life-saving straw. He started to temper his body with all his might, and in the following days, he discovered that as his physique grew stronger, his ability to sense the Astral Souls within him grew deeper as well.
He began to believe in the legend. He had never given up in the past three years. Now, he had finally succeeded. Today was the day he could communicate with the heavens and the earth and awaken.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhou Yang closed his eyes.
The body and the heart became one, the heart and the will became one, the will and the spirit became one.
Essence, Qi, and Soul as One!
A ray of starlight fell into the skylight and enveloped Zhou Yang's head.
"Star Accumulation, open …"
The Star Accumulation above his Dantian was like a blooming flower, emitting a strange power that passed through his abdomen and blended with the starlight.
The starlight gradually became denser, and Zhou Yang's consciousness also started to become chaotic. A vast universe of stars appeared before his eyes, and in the center of this space, there was a vortex.
The universe of stars was the Star Accumulation, and the vortex.
Astral Soul!
"Buzz …"
The vortex suddenly started to spin, and black ancient words flowed out from it.
"Rumble …"
His mind trembled, and those ancient words surged into his brain. In the next moment, his consciousness recovered, and there was already a lot of information in his memory. Finally, this information condensed into four big words.
Unlimited Astral Soul!
At the same time, the starlight condensed into a stream of Qi that entered Zhou Yang's Dantian.
This stream of Qi flowed through his Dantian, changing his eight extraordinary meridians, limbs, and bones. Finally, it returned to his Dantian, forming a brown star.
First level of the Saturn Star Realm!
On the path of cultivation, starting from awakening the Astral Soul and absorbing the power of the stars, the first realm was the Saturn Realm, followed by the Mars Realm, Mercury Realm, Wood Realm, and Gold Realm.
These five realms combined to form the Five Planets Realm. The difference between each realm was incomparably huge. Of course, there were even stronger realms above the Five Planets Realm, but cultivators of these realms could not be seen in a place like the County City.
After a long time … Zhou Yang opened his eyes again, and they were filled with excitement.
He had succeeded.
The legend was true. Not only did he successfully awaken his Astral Soul and become a cultivator, but more importantly, his Astral Soul was incomparably powerful.
Unlimited Astral Souls, other than being able to absorb the power of the stars for cultivation, had another innate ability.
That was the ability to open an unlimited amount of Stellar Accumulation.
Stellar Accumulation was the place that contained Astral Souls. Generally speaking, everyone could only open one Stellar Accumulation in their lifetime. Only the geniuses among geniuses could open two Astral Souls and possess two types of Astral Souls.
And those who could open three Stellar Accumulations were undoubtedly the overlords of a region. As for those who could open four Stellar Accumulations, that was a legend. In any case, he had never heard of anyone possessing four types of Astral Souls.
But now that he had unlimited Astral Souls, he could open an unlimited amount of Stellar Accumulations. This meant that he would possess many Astral Souls in the future.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely monstrous Astral Soul.
However, there was also something that made Zhou Yang puzzled, and that was the grade of this Astral Soul.
Astral Souls were also divided into different grades.
The constellations in the Heavenly Cycle were divided into Earthly Fiends and Heavenly Dipper. The most common one was the Earthly Fiend Astral Soul.
The Earthly Fiend Astral Souls were divided into four grades: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, as well as the Earthly Fiend Astral Soul.
There were tens of thousands of Earthly Fiend Astral Souls recorded in the Grand Manual of Astral Souls. However, he was certain that the unlimited Astral Soul was not one of them.
If it was based on the amount of Astral Energy contained within the Astral Souls, the unlimited Astral Soul belonged to the lowest grade. However, if it was based on the ability of the Astral Soul, it would far surpass the Earthly Fiend Astral Soul. Even the Heavenly Dipper Astral Soul might not be able to compare to it.
After thinking for half a day, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Hence, he decided not to think about it anymore and focused his attention on the ability of unlimited Astral Souls.
"The information in the Astral Souls said that in order to continuously open up Stellar Accumulations, I need to cultivate in martial arts to accumulate the power of the General Star. It seems that in the future, I have to use my Physique Refinement Spirit to cultivate in martial arts."
Martial arts was the utilization of the power of the Astral Souls. It was also the fastest way for a cultivator to increase their combat prowess.
Hu …
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Zhou Yang walked out of the door. At this moment, the sky was already bright.
Brandishing his fist, a strong gust of wind blew, causing the fallen leaves beneath the tree to flutter in the air.
This was a set of foundational fist techniques, with a total of 49 stances. He had already cultivated it for 10 years.
For the past 10 years, he had persisted every morning, never stopping to rest. Currently, this foundational fist technique had already reached the point of perfection.
A ray of light tore through the darkness in the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, the sky had already turned bright. At the same time, Zhou Yang retracted his fist.
"Bang!"
In the silent courtyard, the sound of a door being slammed resounded. Ye Haochen arrogantly stepped into the courtyard with his two bodyguards.
"Zhou Yang, have you thought it through?" Ye Haochen glared at Zhou Yang. The two bodyguards by his side had already grasped their swords. This was a threat, and it also represented the determination of the Ye Clan.
"Consider …"
Zhou Yang coldly laughed. After glancing at the three of them, he took a deep breath. After 3 years of hiding his strength and biding his time, he could finally no longer endure it.
"Zhou Yang, today I came here to tell you that you have to sign this letter of apology even if you don't want to. In addition, the clan has already decided to let you and your mother live in the courtyard. Without the permission of the second madam, the two of you are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard …" Ye Haochen mocked.
Zhou Yang smiled. His smile was very indifferent. "I am very grateful to the both of you. In a short span of 3 years, you have taught me what it means to endure humiliation, what it means to be selfish, and what it means to not endure anymore. Now, take your lackeys and scram!"
Scram!
