Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1433: Chapter 575: Youthful Ignorance of the Power of Passives

In the analytical notes of Mao Yan and Sima Qu, the Star Tower only manages to connect to the Upper Star Palace by constructing the Heaven and Earth Bridge.

This forms the essential foundation for the Earth-Sky Connection.

To truly connect Earth with the three realms of heaven, the two proposed three potential methods during their discussions.

However, these are merely hypotheses, and all three methods await validation.

For example, in the first hypothesis, Sima Qu believed that after connecting Earth to the sky, the Cloud Tower and the Upper Star Palace would naturally fuse, or the Upper Star Palace would be actively incorporated.

This hypothesis was negated by Xu Jin’s personal experience.

After only one reading, Xu Jin realized the third hypothesis was more feasible.

From the timestamp of the notes, the time between proposing the first hypothesis and the third hypothesis spans twelve years.

It seems the two were continually exploring and updating their theoretical insights in this area.

The third hypothesis regarding Earth-Sky Connection is relatively more complex, but it has a concrete theoretical basis.

Sima Qu suggests that the human Divine Soul resides within the physical body, as does the Primordial Spirit.

It is evident that before reaching a high level of Divine Soul Cultivation, a physical body’s protection is required.

In comparison, the Upper Star Palace serves as a residence for the Divine Soul Essence Spirit.

To achieve the Earth-Sky Connection, the goal is to connect the Upper Star Palace to the Cloud Tower as one entity.

But since the Upper Star Palace houses the Divine Soul Essence Spirit, for unification, a common pivotal point must be found.

Mao Yan further suggests that a common pivot is not important; the key is to find a ’distinct connection.’

That is, satisfying the specific demands of the Divine Soul Essence Spirit.

Cloud Tower, seeking connection, must internally transform into the Great Cloud Tower, with the primary element being to fulfill the rigid requirements of the Divine Soul Essence Spirit: the Cloud Tower must accommodate the Divine Soul Essence Spirit’s characteristics.

This way, the Divine Soul Essence Spirit within the Upper Star Palace may integrate into the Cloud Tower, possibly realizing their prediction of a Star-Spirit Unity.

Star-Spirit Unity means that once the Great Cloud Tower is achieved, the Star Power and Divine Soul Power can seamlessly merge, and at that time, the might of Star Skill will increase exponentially.

However, how to fulfill or achieve this rigid requirement remains unresolved.

The analytical records indicate that after three years, the two reviewed all prior theoretical deductions, recognizing the Heaven and Earth Bridge as the primary key.

As long as the Cloud Tower directly touches the Upper Star Palace and the Heaven and Earth Bridge is established, the Upper Star Palace’s Divine Soul Star Pattern can be used to condense the Cloud Tower through this passage.

Then, slowly integrating the Upper Star Palace into the Cloud Tower, forming the Great Cloud Tower, connecting thoroughly to heaven and earth, achieving Star-Spirit Unity.

Seeing all this, Xu Jin believes this could be the correct answer.

But, after all, it’s reasoning.

From the timeline of the analytical notes, neither Mao Yan nor Sima Qu had achieved the Earth-Sky Connection, both remaining focused on enabling their disciples to achieve it.

Unfortunately, not long after, a major upheaval occurred; the Lingji Star Hall was exterminated, leading to its sealing, and Mao Yan perished. Cheng Yuxiao, whose cultivation stayed at the Ninth Layer Peak of Sixth Tier, had to break through to the Seventh Tier at once, confronting the Eighth Tier, sustaining the Great Chen National Daoist School, and supporting Dachen.

Previously, Xu Jin had also heard State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao mention that before he broke through to the Eighth Tier, he dared not easily leave the Great Chen Capital City Wan. Occasionally stepping out felt secretive, like sneaking.

Those years were extremely difficult.

Because only within the Great Chen Capital City Wan, relying on the National Guardian Tao Artifact and the might of the Star-picking Tower Master Building, could he barely resist the Tianyang Star Lord.

Holding the analytical notes, Xu Jin consulted State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao again for half a day, to fill in details, seeking more stable attempts.

After all, this is a path never walked before.

"Therefore, the first step is very crucial. If you can enhance your Divine Soul Star Pattern, it proves their reasoning theory is correct.

If you cannot even enhance the Divine Soul Star Pattern, then this path is incorrect, and you must rediscover other true methods for Earth-Sky Connection." transmitted State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"I understand, State Preceptor."

In the next moment, Xu Jin adjusted his breath and focused, while protecting his Primordial Spirit, slowly using it to maneuver the vast Star Power within the Star Tower to the top of the Cloud Tower, then cautiously directed the Star Power towards the Upper Star Palace.

Could not be too rapid.

If too rapid, his own Star Power could damage his Upper Star Palace, making him the object of ridicule.

A breath later, a hint of joy appeared in Xu Jin’s eyes.

It worked.

The first step succeeded.

His Star Power successfully entered the Upper Star Palace through the Heaven and Earth Bridge.

This alone suggests the path is correct.

At least partially correct.

After several breaths, Xu Jin’s brow slightly furrowed. The Star Power seemed unable to enhance the Divine Soul Star Pattern.

A brief contemplation later, Xu Jin activated his Primordial Spirit, enveloping the Star Power with strong Divine Soul Power like mixing currents, attempting to enhance the Divine Soul Star Pattern.

A few breaths later, joy surfaced in his eyes.

It worked.

However, the enhancement speed is much slower than that of enhancing the Star Power Star Pattern.

But no matter; as long as it can be attempted, that’s enough.

Moreover, Xu Jin was currently restraining his power, and once enhancement commenced, he would continuously test the maximum flow of Star Power activated by the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and the Upper Star Palace’s maximum endurance level to increase speed.

As for the first Divine Soul Star Pattern to enhance, Xu Jin chose the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.

It can passively improve Divine Soul Cultivation; the earlier enhancement, the sooner the benefits!

Now, Xu Jin even felt that he had delayed his prior projection of the Clearing Soul Star Pattern to the eighth-tier upper.
