In the Nine Heavens Continent, there were nine Astral Rivers in the sky. Each Astral River was formed by countless constellations interweaving together. These nine Astral Rivers were also known as the Nine Heavens.
The people of the Nine Heavens Continent worshipped the Martial Dao. From a young age, humans would use the method of meditation to sense the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, cultivating and refining their Qi to nourish their spirit, and eventually becoming a Wu Xiu.
Humans with strong perception could, through meditation, sense the existence of the Astral Rivers in the Nine Heavens, absorb the energy from the Astral Rivers, and even condense an Astral Soul, becoming a Stellar Martial Cultivator.
There were even more powerful people who, after becoming a Stellar Martial Cultivator, could condense the Astral Energy from the Astral Rivers, continuously strengthening their own strength, breaking through to the Martial Realm, opening an Astral Gate, and condensing even more Astral Souls.
According to the legends, the most powerful Wu Xiu in the Nine Heavens Continent, every time he broke through to the next level, he would be able to open an Astral Gate, and from there, he would be able to condense an Astral Soul from the Nine Heavens.
… …
Chu Country, Sky Harmony City, Bai Clan.
Autumn Snow's forehead was filled with perspiration, as though she was in extreme pain. However, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Under the night sky, the Astral Light unceasingly shone on Autumn Snow's body, illuminating her soft and beautiful figure, as well as her snow-white skin, which was faintly discernible due to her perspiration. However, at this moment, Qin Wentian wasn't in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scene.
"Guard your heart, the pain is but a thought. Empty your mind, imagine yourself to be a beautiful fairy, soaring through the nine Astral Rivers, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Astral Rivers. As for the pain, it's just a dream."
Qin Wentian's voice was gentle, as the wind blew into Autumn Snow's ears, causing her body to tremble slightly.
When Autumn Snow's body gradually calmed down, Qin Wentian took out nine silver needles, and pierced them into Autumn Snow's head.
"Ah … …" Bai Qing, who was standing beside him, almost cried out in shock upon seeing this scene. She covered her mouth with her dainty hands as she stared at Qin Wentian's crazy actions, before glancing at her sister Autumn Snow.
"Draw the power of the stars into your body, circulate it through your meridians, and seal the Star Door." Qin Wentian's voice was like a dream, drifting into Autumn Snow's ears, causing the Astral Energy to be absorbed into her body unceasingly.
"Return to emptiness. You are now a body of consciousness. Find a star you like and fuse your consciousness with it."
Qin Wentian's voice was laced with a hypnotic power. Slowly, a Shadow formed above Autumn Snow's head. It was the image of a golden crane spreading its wings, full of curves and beauty.
Bai Qing's beautiful eyes widened. This was the Shadow of an Astral Soul … Her elder sister was really about to condense an Astral Soul.
"From now on, you will have to depend on yourself." Qin Wentian silently mused. The immature face of the youth was filled with a heavy expression.
Astral light radiated from Autumn Snow's body. Finally, the cry of a crane rang out as the golden crane solidified. A terrifying Astral Energy gushed out from it as Autumn Snow's beautiful eyes opened, shining as bright as the stars in the night sky.
"Success!" Bai Qing was so happy that she jumped up in joy. After which, she hugged Qin Wentian as she incoherently exclaimed, "Wentian gege, I really succeeded!"
As she spoke, she impolitely planted a kiss on Qin Wentian's face.
A radiant smile appeared in Qin Wentian's eyes, as he radiated an aura of innocence and innocence. The solemnity he had earlier was nowhere to be seen.
"Which Heavenly Layer?" Qin Wentian smiled as he looked at his fiancée.
"The 3rd Heavenly Layer." Autumn Snow also smiled. Her smile was extremely radiant and beautiful. Autumn Snow was 16 years old this year, and was one of the four great beauties of the Sky Harmony City.
"The 3rd Heavenly Layer! Elder sister managed to condense an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer on your first try. Doesn't that mean that in the future, you'll be able to condense your 2nd and 3rd Astral Souls easily? That's great, I'll go tell father about this." Bai Qing was even happier than her elder sister.
"There's no need." A middle-aged man walked over from afar. This man was none other than Autumn Snow and Bai Qing's father, Bai Qingsong. Both of his hands trembled slightly as he smiled at Autumn Snow, "Autumn Snow, it's been hard on you."
"Father, if it wasn't for Wentian gege, elder sister wouldn't have been able to condense an Astral Soul." Bai Qing mumbled. Only then did Bai Qingsong glance at Qin Wentian as he smiled, "Wentian, it's been hard on you today. You should rest early, Autumn Snow and I will take our leave first."
"Okay, Uncle Bai." Qin Wentian replied with a smile. Ever since the marriage agreement between the Qin and Bai Clan was made three years ago, Bai Qingsong would often invite him to stay at the Bai Clan's residence. Bai Qingsong was an amiable person, and treated him extremely well.
"Little Qing, you should come with me as well. Don't disturb your Wentian gege anymore." Bai Qingsong said to Bai Qing, only to see Bai Qing sticking out her tongue, "Why didn't father force me to call him brother-in-law today? I'll stay here and chat with Wentian gege. You and elder sister can leave first."
Bai Qingsong glanced at Bai Qing, before nodding his head and leaving together with Autumn Snow.
"Elder sister's first Astral Soul has already condensed an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. Father will definitely go to the clan for a meeting with the elders. I'm not willing to go." Bai Qing grinned as she watched Bai Qingsong leave. "Wentian gege, I didn't believe it in the past, but I didn't expect you to actually succeed. Previously, you didn't allow elder sister to absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, and also didn't allow her to condense an Astral Soul in advance. Could it be that you were waiting for today?"
"After absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth would be stored in the meridians and acupoints of the body. That way, the chances of condensing an Astral Soul would be much lower." Qin Wentian lay on the ground, staring at the constellations in the sky.
"The majority of people would absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth while comprehending the Astral Souls. This way, even if they couldn't become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, it wouldn't affect Wu Xiu's cultivation. But Wentian gege, your method is to insist on condensing an Astral Soul no matter what. Isn't this way too risky? If you fail to become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, your cultivation would be delayed?" Bai Qing sat beside Qin Wentian as she explained.
"Qing`er, how many types of Astral Souls have you heard of?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Very few. In the Sky Harmony City, there aren't many people who have condensed an Astral Soul. What about you, Wentian gege?"
"In the Nine Heavenly Layers of the Milky Way, there are countless constellations, and each constellation corresponds to an Astral Soul."
"Condensing the Lion Astral Soul will allow you to possess the strength of a ferocious beast, allowing you to easily tear apart tigers and leopards. Condensing the Heavenly Eyes Astral Soul will allow you to increase your vision and perception, allowing you to see further, allowing your perception to be stronger during combat. Condensing the Forging Astral Soul will allow you to become a powerful blacksmith. Condensing the Great Dream Astral Soul will allow you to cultivate in your dreams, allowing you to cause others to fall into a dreamscape, and so on!"
"Cultivating in a dreamscape, allowing people to dream, how mystical." Bai Qing murmured.
"The continent is extremely vast, and I've heard that in the outside world, there are many powerful cultivators who have condensed different types of Astral Souls. They are omnipotent, and only Stellar Martial Cultivators are the rulers of this continent. For an ordinary Wu Xiu, he's like an ant. If he can't become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, he might as well not cultivate at all." Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a fiery light. He definitely had to become a powerful Stellar Martial Cultivator, condense different types of Astral Souls, and go out into the world to see the world.
Uncle Black had once said that Sky Harmony City was too small. In front of the continent, it was like an ant.
"But, I've heard that …" Bai Qing hesitated.
"I've heard that I have crippled meridians, and am unable to cultivate?" Qin Wentian smiled as he sat up. "Who said that I have crippled meridians? I will definitely become a Stellar Martial Cultivator."
Seeing the confident smile on Qin Wentian's face, Bai Qing also smiled sweetly. "I also believe in Wentian gege. In that case, I'll take my leave first. I don't want to disturb Wentian gege from becoming a Stellar Martial Cultivator."
"Mhm, go ahead. Remember to rest early, and don't absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth." Qin Wentian reminded.
"Got it." Bai Qing stuck her tongue out at Qin Wentian, before jogging away. Looking at the graceful back view of Bai Qing, Qin Wentian discovered that unknowingly, this little lass had already grown up. At the age of 15, she was already slender and elegant, and was no longer the little lass he knew three years ago. A pure smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
After Bai Qing left, Qin Wentian began his cultivation. He closed his eyes, entering into a state of meditation. In Qin Wentian's body, the meridians and meridians within his body were almost completely shattered. However, he didn't seem to mind it at all. He guided the Astral Energy into his body, circulating it around his broken meridians. The violent Astral Energy from the Astral Light unceasingly gushed into his weak meridians, as though wanting to completely shatter them.
In an instant, Qin Wentian's countenance was filled with agony. This kind of pain, was more than ten times what Autumn Snow had endured. However, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
The meridians and meridians were distributed throughout the human body, connecting it to the rest of the body. If the meridians and meridians were shattered, it was equivalent to a cripple, an incomplete body. Those who cultivated the Martial Path had to unceasingly widen their meridians, and even after reaching the Body Refinement Realm, they still had to reconstruct their meridians and meridians, forming a total of nine major meridians, seven major apertures, five viscera and six bowels, four limbs, and a hundred bones.
When Qin Wentian's meridians were first destroyed, he almost became a cripple. However, Uncle Black used medicinal herbs to cleanse his body, preventing him from becoming a cripple. In addition, Qin Wentian trained his body every day without fail, allowing him to possess the physique of an ordinary person.
However, Qin Wentian's goal wasn't to shatter his meridians. According to the records of the Astral Meridians, only by shattering the meridians and meridians, would one be able to form the most perfect Stellar Meridians.
