Chapter 007: Extraordinary Techniques
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zhao Xuan maintained a wondrous breathing rhythm while feeling the clear stream above his head
He seems to absorb the sunlight that shines upon him into his body, transforming it into a wondrous energy known as Stellar Source Power
Or perhaps this is a technique born from the stellar source power that absorbs stars, a cultivation method of an alien race that resides within stars
In simple terms, under the same qualifications and environment, if one person practices a top-tier cultivation method, which is the highest level of technique, while another practices a low-tier cultivation method, which is the poorest kind, the efficiency between the two could differ by dozens of times. The former may achieve in one year what the latter could only achieve in several decades.
Once again feeling the refreshing layers of light, Zhao Xuan secretly reminded himself that although this set of techniques did not require any special postures, maintaining this marvelous frequency also demanded a certain amount of mental effort
Stars also undergo cycles of birth, growth, health, activity, decline, and death
Continuing to move forward steadily, under the scorching sun as usual, Zhao Xuan can hardly take a few steps on the street before being drenched in sweat, and any passerby on the street is in a similar situation.
Of course, there may also be a few exceptional places that contain a more intense source of stellar energy, such as famous mountains and rivers. Those places are suitable for cultivation, but here in the library and hospital, it is not possible; thus, it would be strange if his cultivation yielded any results.
A few days ago, he attempted to cultivate and tried dozens of techniques, but none were effective
Only after a moment did he pause, a flicker of unusual expression crossing his eyes
The rhythm has just been disrupted; originally, the body felt completely refreshed, not sensing any heat at all. Soon, however, it became increasingly heated under the sun's exposure.
The five major categories of humanity, earth, heaven, sanctity, and divinity each consist of three levels. The more extraordinary the cultivation method, the more efficiently it can absorb the source power of the stars, and this is a significant exaggeration
However, even so, it does not matter; his job is to deliver packages, and what is most abundant is sunlight.
However, as Zhao Xuan walked, he showed no signs of sweating. Moving forward slowly, he constantly felt waves of refreshing energy flowing within him. Yet, he still found it hard to believe why so many different cultivation methods had failed before, and none could be practiced, while this one was able to bring him such a transformation
I am afraid that even the sacred techniques do not possess this capability
However, the celestial source power that can now be cultivated and absorbed does not originate from Earth, but from the Sun
A flicker of shock passed through Zhao Xuan's eyes, and his breathing rhythm was suddenly disrupted, unable to be maintained due to overwhelming excitement
The same talent and the same cultivation methods can yield vastly different results in different periods on the same planet. During the healthy and vibrant phase of a planet, the source power of the stars is abundant and strong. One does not need any specific techniques to absorb it; simply living here allows one to soak in the star source power and gradually transform the body, thereby becoming stronger. However, during the weakened phase of a planet, many areas have already depleted their source power or are severely weakened. No matter how outstanding the talent or how excellent the techniques, one cannot cultivate anything in a place devoid of star source power.
In astonishment, Zhao Xuan suddenly realized the truth
Focusing intently on the rhythmic breathing akin to a musical composition, Zhao Xuan could not even be bothered to take the bus, instead lifting his feet to walk under the blazing sun, his heart filled with excitement
Divided into five ranks and fifteen levels
Not every planet is suitable for cultivation in the memory of Blood Slaughter. Planets can be categorized into life planets, desolate planets, mineral planets, abandoned planets, and so on. Only life planets can be cultivated. Additionally, each planet has a lifespan, which can be divided into the stages of birth, growth, health, activity, decline, and death
For an average person wishing to cultivate, it would likely take considerable time to correctly master the cultivation techniques. However, Zhao Xuan does not face this dilemma; as long as it is a technique practiced by Blood Butcher, he can recall it as if he had just personally performed it moments ago. By simply adjusting his state to match the impression he has, he can effortlessly master it.
Whether the sun above has life or not is something no one can say for certain, but it is likely a star rich in stellar source energy; otherwise, Zhao Xuan would not be able to absorb the cultivable star source energy at this moment
Zhao Xuan felt a stir in his heart and once again entered that wondrous rhythm of breathing, as the scorching rays originally directed at him transformed into a cool and refreshing sensation.
When he first encountered these, the memories of the blood slaughter were too vast and extensive. If he were to scrutinize each one in detail, Zhao Xuan would likely never accomplish it in his lifetime. Now, however, he has come to a complete understanding: the Earth may have already passed the period suitable for cultivation, the celestial source energy is scarce, and it has become very difficult for ordinary techniques to absorb celestial source energy.
Not all stars are devoid of content; within the memories of Blood Butcher, there exists a terrifying alien race born from the interiors of stars, growing powerful by absorbing the stellar energy of the celestial bodies.
This is standing on Earth, absorbing the stellar source power contained within the Sun
Due to the incompleteness of his memory, Zhao Xuan found it difficult to grasp the entirety of this set of techniques. After pondering for a long time without arriving at a conclusion, he soon set it aside and focused entirely on his breathing.
The sun is also one of the celestial bodies and can similarly contain the source power of the stars
Although this is an unnamed martial art, Zhao Xuan is certain that its level is not low. It can actually absorb the stellar source power from the sun over countless distances, which is simply exaggerated
He has maintained dozens of cultivation methods left by the Blood Butcher, which he has refined through books. The lowest is a Level 3 method, of good quality, while the best is of superior holy grade. Most Level 12 methods have grade annotations, but this set of methods, which relies on a marvelous breathing frequency for entry, lacks such annotations. It was like this when the Blood Butcher obtained it. He tried to cultivate it but only persisted for a while before giving up, as he was already a supreme powerhouse when he acquired this method, and the source power cultivated from it conflicted with the methods he originally possessed. However, this set of methods, which relies on a marvelous breathing frequency for entry, lacks grade annotations, and it was the same when the Blood Butcher obtained it. He attempted to cultivate it but only practiced for a short time before abandoning it, because he was already a supreme powerhouse when he acquired this method, and the source power cultivated from it conflicted with the methods he originally possessed.
However, Zhao Xuan still felt a sense of suspicion, astonished by the wonders of this set of martial arts techniques
He finally sensed a glimmer of insight that allowed him to withstand the scorching heat and harshness of the sun; the refreshing stream emerging from the top of his head seemed to be the sunlight shining upon him
In such a state, he can accomplish tasks with half the effort and double the results, no longer having to endure the torment under the scorching sun
This set of techniques actually absorbs the stellar source power of the stars. Does that mean I can only cultivate when there is sunlight? Is it impossible to cultivate at night?
Now, he can suddenly rely on his cultivation method to be unaffected by sunlight, and even absorb sunlight to transform it into a resource for his own enhancement, which is enough to leave him so excited that he cannot find the words to describe it
Once again entering the state, Zhao Xuan resumed his steps, and a fleeting thought crossed his mind: if this is a technique for absorbing stellar source energy, he would indeed only be able to cultivate in places with sunlight in the future
What he absorbs is not the planetary source power of the Earth from https://m.hetushu.com, but the stellar source power contained in sunlight
In the waning period of the planet, only a few extremely rare regions will retain a relatively rich source of stellar energy
This set of skills is simply invaluable to him; not only does it enhance his strength, but it also offers unparalleled benefits for his current job. During the summer, any outdoor worker is likely preoccupied with the thought of constantly avoiding exposure to the sun.
The ability to absorb the power of the stars from such a great distance is certainly not something that ordinary techniques can achieve. Having made this assessment, Zhao Xuan felt a renewed sense of joy, as the memories of Blood Butcher indicated that cultivation techniques are also classified by levels.
Certainly, the differences in martial arts are also reflected in various other aspects, but even just these are enough to astonish people
What is the distance from the Earth to the Sun
Of course, it does not require complete dedication; aside from that, one need not engage in any other activities. It is sufficient to expend only a portion of one's energy to maintain it. As long as there are no significant emotional fluctuations that distract you to the point of forgetting to breathe, it is entirely possible to practice while simultaneously attending to other matters.
Why did the cultivation have no effect a few days ago, but now it is effective? Perhaps the Earth is no longer suitable for cultivation, or it could be that the municipal hospital here is not suitable for cultivation
This is still the beginning of the practice; as time goes on and this breathing rhythm becomes an instinct of the body, the energy expended will be significantly reduced
As long as one is familiar with this rhythm, emotional fluctuations should not be too great; it suffices to invest a portion of one's energy to maintain it
