Chapter 56: The Power of the Stars

  After returning to the room, Xia Lin gently placed Lü'er on the bed, took a closer look and found that Lü'er was indeed in a daze, only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

  Green's eyes were tightly closed, her small face as white as jade, and although she was young, she had a stunning beauty that took one's breath away.

  "Silly girl." Xia Lin walked forward and gently kissed her, then covered her with the quilt. He then walked to the table, picked up the scattered items, and sat down cross-legged again.

  "Is it... the cultivation manual..." Xia Lin pondered for a moment, then took out that thin golden booklet again, "Was I really just relying on Lü'er's reason?"

  Right hand placed on the golden manual, in an instant, a strange feeling spread to the heart, familiar light flashed again.

  "I knew it!"

  Xia's eyes flashed with excitement, "I can open it."

  According to his father, being able to open the golden manual meant that one could become a Namer. And now, he was actually able to open it. But back then, he had tested and clearly didn't have the qualifications for cultivation, so why was he suddenly able to do it now?

  Just as he was perplexed, the light screen changed and jumped into text. The cultivation method reappeared before his eyes... Xia Lin stared at these two words, as if thinking of something.

  Cultivators need to open up their sea of consciousness! Many people can't cultivate because they can't open up their sea of consciousness, but he? In the past, his sea of consciousness may not have been opened up, but with the emergence of the ancient legacy, the power of blood awakened, and a piece of heaven and earth had already been blasted out in the depths of the sea of consciousness. Even the Legacy Hall was located deep within the sea of consciousness!

  Why Inheritance Hall?

  Xia Lin's mind stirred and he arrived at the Hall of Legacy.

  It wasn't until much later that Xia Lin discovered that something big had changed here.

  The Hall of Legacy was still the same, without much change, but above it, a strange change had occurred. The sky above his head, which was originally pitch black, now had a huge star located at the top, shining brightly, and even the texture on the surface of the star could be seen clearly. Xia Lin knew that this was his natal star. Around the natal star, there were five smaller stars surrounding it, which were the five affiliated stars, plus the trajectory line, forming a complete natal star chart.

  "My sea of consciousness, originally did not possess the talent for cultivation, but was transformed by the Transmission Temple into a cultivable region. Therefore, this Natal Star Chart also appeared in the upper wind of the Transmission Temple." Xia Lin took a glance and then clearly analyzed the situation, after understanding it, he began to observe this Natal Star Chart.

  "Is this the power of Nenshou?"

  Xia Lin quietly observed that the stronger the Benming Xingchen diagram, the stronger the condensed Nianshen would be. Before practicing, he had to thoroughly study these sudden appearances.

  Xia Lin tried to focus his attention on the natal star chart, and in an instant, it seemed that the natal star chart was infinitely enlarged, with each star clearly visible, even the texture of the stars could be seen clearly. After a moment's sensation, Xia Lin also had some understanding of all the stars.

  "The black star in the very middle is the Benming Star, representing one's physical strength."

  "The red star surrounding it should belong to the Power Star. Later, if you want to make your Nian Soul power infinite, you can cultivate this star and increase the power of your Nian Soul."

  "That yellow star should belong to the defensive star. Later, if you want to make your mind as firm as a rock, you can cultivate this star and increase the defense of your mind."

  "That purple star should belong to the Nianli Star. Later, if you want to make a thought break through the sky, you can cultivate this star and increase the Nianshen's Nianli."

  "That blue star should belong to the Speed Star. Later, if you want to let your Nianhun Shen travel thousands of miles, you can cultivate this star and increase the speed of your Nianhun."

  "The last gray star should belong to the reactive star. Later, if you want to make the soul's reaction force super sensitive, you can cultivate this star and increase the soul's reaction ability."

  Five stars form a perfect natal chart.

  After Xia Lin finished viewing, he fell into silent contemplation. According to the manual, the Star Force is divided into nine levels, each level is further divided into nine segments! When at least two stars break through the current level, they can impact the next boundary. For example, Zuo Haotian should belong to the first realm of the Mind, the Ling Soul Realm. To break through the next realm, at least two Star Forces need to reach the second stage!

  These are all things for later. Currently, the most important thing is to examine one's initial abilities.

  Undoubtedly, the power of the stars comes from the sea of consciousness, so the initial strength is as strong as the sea of consciousness, and the ability of several stars is also very strong.

  This is the pre-heavenly amplification of the birth chart.

  Ordinary people, before practicing the Nen technique, generally have abilities at zero rank first stage. Those slightly stronger than ordinary people are at zero rank second stage. People with exceptional talents are at zero rank third stage. Geniuses are at zero rank fourth stage or higher. It is even said that there are extraordinary geniuses whose initial aura nodes reach as high as zero rank ninth stage!

  Summer arrives and the heart is slightly moved. With a glance at the natal star chart, the strength of several stars is finally revealed.

  Power Star, Zeroth Stage.

  Defensive Starlight, Zeroth Stage First Segment.

  Speed Starlight, Zeroth Stage One Section.

  Reaction Star Chart, Zeroth Order First Section.

  Mind Force Star Chart, Zeroth Rank First Segment.

  "It's indeed the case." Xia Lin let out a bitter laugh. Although he knew that he himself didn't have the innate talent for a Nianzhe's cultivation, even if he were to be recognized by the Transmission Temple and have his spiritual sea opened up, it wasn't certain that he would become very strong. However, Xia Lin still held onto a thread of hope, but in the end... reality proved that dreams and reality are indeed different.

  A uniform zero-order first segment lets Xia Lin know that even if he can become a reader, he is the one at the bottom.

  "The disadvantage is a disadvantage, due to the innate problem, the initial value of the amplified power is too low. However, there are also advantages - after all, I am a cultivator, an inheritor of the ancient barbarian tribe, with physically strong strength from birth! Other cultivators cannot cultivate, but my sea of consciousness was opened up by the Transmission Temple, so it doesn't affect my cultivation of the Breaking Heaven Technique. In that case, my destined star..."

  Thinking of this, Xia Lin looked towards the black birth star surrounded by five starlight.

  Destiny Star

  Power, first rank third stage.

  Defense, first rank, first section.

  Speed, zeroth rank nine segments.

  Reaction, ninth order zero stage.

  Spiritual power, zero rank zero stage.

  "It's indeed the case, my innate star chart is the ultimate feedback of physical abilities. After becoming a cultivator, my strength has reached 1st rank 3rd stage! My defense also has a 1st rank standard, and although my speed and reaction are slightly inferior, they're not far off either. I suppose for a martial artist, this is still considered balanced, with no aspect of my abilities lagging behind."

  "This is just the power of Benming Xingchen, and the final strength of Niansheng's soul is the sum of Benming Xingchen and the five major stars. The final result added up is Niansheng's ability."

  Xia Lin calculated in her heart for a moment.

  The strength of the soul should be:

  Power, first rank fourth stage.

  Defense, first rank second stage.

  Speed, first-order zero segment.

  First-order zero-step response.

  Nen, First Stage Zero.

  Xia Lin saw this and took a deep breath of cold air, with only one thought in her mind: "So strong!"

  No wonder the Nen users are stronger than the martial artists, it's only natural that for those genius-level Nen users, increasing their aura by three or four levels is a trivial matter. Adding to that their own bit of strength, even without Xia Lin being so terrifying, they can still reach four or five levels, which is almost infinitely close to the first level.

  Adding on top of that, the unique properties of the Nianhun itself, fearless of injury, powerful amplification of Nianli, taking down a martial artist of the same realm is just a matter of minutes.

  According to the manual, zeroth to first order is the foundation. The reader can freely choose two abilities to cultivate. When two abilities reach the second order, they can impact the next realm! However, for my talent, the cultivation of the reader may be very slow! Rushing into the second order, I don't know which year it will take.

  "Whatever, I don't want to think about it anymore. Being able to become a Nen user is already an unexpected joy, no need to be greedy. Other Nen users mainly cultivate the Five Great Stars, and as a cultivator, I'll just focus on cultivating my own Life Star, which won't put me at a disadvantage either. Now then, since I can cultivate, let's first try to condense my aura."

  In his mind, thoughts were complicated, after thinking for a moment, Xia Lin didn't think so much anymore, sat cross-legged, and began to follow the golden manual, through these five great stars, condensing his soul!

  As Xia Lin sat cross-legged inside the Hall of Legacy, following the route displayed in the golden manual, the entire hall suddenly brightened and dimmed, with the starry sky twinkling. The five stars of different colors were also constantly changing, but only the black natal star seemed to be unaffected, remaining unchanged and eternal.

  The Benming Star Chart flickered, and the five stars above each released their own aura. Strands of energy in different colors floated out from the stars, gathering towards the center.

  Red power energy, yellow defense energy, blue speed energy, purple psychic energy, gray reaction energy. The five energies converged and merged, eventually forming a strange energy. The five colors blended together, gradually taking the shape of a person's silhouette.

  But looking at the outline of the figure, it is almost identical to Xia Lin's.

  The excitement of summer's arrival had yet to subside when suddenly a loud crack was heard and the figure vanished in an instant, returning to the depths of the ocean.

  Failed to concentrate and focus one's mind.

  "It's indeed a failure." Xia Lin didn't lose his spirit, as he had already known from the manual that whether it was opening up the Sea of Consciousness, constructing the Natal Star Chart, or condensing the Soul, each step required a huge amount of time and effort, and wasn't as easy as he had imagined.

  Now he has saved two steps of opening up the sea of knowledge and building his own star chart, which is already a blessing.

  Xia Lin calmed down and continued to concentrate on gathering his spiritual soul. After three or four consecutive failures, he knew that if he continued to gather his spiritual soul, there would probably be no results tonight.

  The initial freshness of Xia Lin's cultivation had returned to normal, and her heart also calmed down.

  He probably knows where his own road is for others.

  Monk!

  The legacy of the ancient barbarians, this is his true wealth!
