Chapter 18: The Overall Strength of the Family Improves, Lu Yu’s Opportunity, the Cosmic Star Technique!
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
During this time, the Lu Royal Mansion experienced significant development, and with the accumulation of numerous resources, the overall strength of the clan members had greatly improved.
Now, among the nine core elders, six had broken through to the Spiritual Pill Realm.
The Grand Elder, who possessed the Geng Metal Treasure Physique, had the highest cultivation, having reached the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm. Other clan members had also made varying degrees of progress.
Of course, the ones who advanced the fastest in cultivation were still Lu Qingxuan and Ling Xiyue.
After this period of continuous cultivation, Lu Qingxuan had broken through to the fourth layer of the Soul Palace Realm. Meanwhile, Ling Xiyue had also reached the second layer of the Soul Palace Realm, her progress not lagging far behind Lu Qingxuan’s.
Without the hindrance of the Exquisite Dao Mark, Ling Xiyue’s cultivation speed was not slower than Lu Qingxuan’s. As for Lu Yu and Lu Jianchen, the two prodigies Lu Qingxuan cared about most, they were also diligently working to improve their cultivation.
Lu Yu felt that his practical combat experience was lacking, so half a month ago, he left the family and headed to the Black Rock Mountain Range to fight demonic beasts. However, before he left, at Lu Qingxuan’s prior instructions, the Grand Elder had given him some life-saving trump cards, just in case.
After all, losing such a prodigy would be a significant blow to the Lu Royal Mansion.
As for Lu Jianchen, ever since he obtained that broken sword, he had been taking on missions within the Lu Royal Mansion to earn family contribution points, which he used to exchange for various layers of magical treasures.
…
In the Lu Royal Mansion, within Lu Jianchen’s courtyard.
Lu Jianchen had just fed a mid-tier Earth-rank magical treasure to the broken sword, and immediately, the sword’s power increased by a notch.
Ever since he received a few high-tier treasures gifted by Lu Qingxuan, he had fed them all to the broken sword. The broken sword did not disappoint him either—its power instantly rose to the layer of a Heaven-rank magical treasure, making it even more powerful and terrifying in his hands. However, after a month of continuous feeding, Lu Jianchen felt that with his current cultivation, it was becoming a bit difficult to wield the broken sword.
The spiritual energy in his body was simply insufficient to support prolonged use of this fearsome weapon. So, he decided to first improve his cultivation before taking on more missions to exchange for treasures to feed the broken sword.
With his decision made, he immediately took out a Foundation Dao Pill, swallowed it, and began cultivating with his eyes closed.
…
At the same time.
In Beiyuan County, the Black Rock Mountain Range.
Ever since Lu Yu left the Lu Royal Mansion, he had been searching for demonic beasts to fight on the outskirts of the Black Rock Mountain Range, using it as a way to increase his combat experience.
At this moment, in a dense forest. Lu Yu was engaged in a fierce battle with a Purple Mansion Realm Silver Thunder Gray Wolf. With his Five-Colored Mysterious Light Wings, he dodged and shifted with lightning-fast strikes.
Boom!
A terrifying punch landed, and the one-zhang-sized Silver Thunder Gray Wolf was directly blasted to the ground, dead.
Lu Yu landed, immediately activating the mysterious crystal in his Physique to draw out a portion of life essence to restore his heavily depleted stamina.
In just a moment, the energy and vitality Lu Yu had expended were restored.
Then, with his spirit refreshed, Lu Yu walked toward the demonic beast.
Pfft!
Lu Yu took out a spiritual sword and sliced open the Silver Thunder Gray Wolf, revealing a demon core.
With a grab of his hand, he collected the demon core.
“Huh?”
However, at that moment, something peculiar appeared inside the Silver Thunder Gray Wolf’s Physique, surprising him. It was a triangular stone slab, nearly nine inches in size, faintly emitting a treasure-like glow.
Curious, Lu Yu took it out and wiped it clean. In the center of the triangular stone slab were five large characters: “Cosmic Star Technique.”
At each of its three corners was a humanoid diagram.
Each humanoid diagram was marked with thirty-six acupoint dots.
“Could this be a cultivation technique?”
Looking at the triangular stone slab, made of some unknown material, Lu Yu frowned slightly and couldn’t help but speculate. Then, he flipped the triangular stone slab over.
After wiping the surface clean, a densely packed text appeared on it.
Seeing this, Lu Yu was very surprised and immediately began studying it.
As time passed, Lu Yu’s face gradually grew excited. After a full quarter of an hour, Lu Yu confirmed that this was indeed a cultivation technique called the Cosmic Star Technique, and it was a rare and special body-refining method.
According to the description, as long as he followed the acupoint distribution in the three diagrams and channeled the power of the stars to temper his Physique, his physical strength would continuously grow.
According to the text, if he could open all 108 acupoints and condense 108 stars within them, even shattering a sacred weapon with his bare hands would be effortless.
Seeing such a powerful body-refining technique, how could Lu Yu not be shocked and excited?
To reach the point of shattering a sacred weapon with bare hands upon mastery—what kind of concept was that? He couldn’t even imagine it.
Although the Cosmic Star Technique didn’t specify its rank, Lu Yu was certain it was at least on par with a high-tier Imperial-rank technique.
Only a technique of that high layer could allow someone to shatter a sacred weapon with their hands upon mastery.
However, cultivating this technique came with restrictions.
According to the notes, if one’s physical strength hadn’t reached the layer of contending with a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, they couldn’t cultivate this technique.
Fortunately, Lu Yu had already mastered the Eight Gates Escape Armor Technique, and his current physical strength was enough to rival a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator. This meant he was qualified to cultivate this technique.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu’s heart surged with excitement. He never imagined his luck would be so incredible as to obtain such an opportunity from the Physique of a demonic beast. Originally, he had planned to cultivate the Heaven-rank high-tier Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique after mastering the Eight Gates Escape Armor Technique.
But now, with this technique far surpassing Heaven-rank, Lu Yu decided to directly cultivate the Cosmic Star Technique.
According to the technique’s description, it was divided into nine layers, also called the Nine Realms.
From lowest to highest, they were: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, Dongming, and Yinyuan—nine realms in total.
By opening twelve acupoints and condensing twelve stars within them, one could advance to the next realm.
Without hesitation, Lu Yu found a temporary cave dwelling, took out an array disk, set up a defensive formation, and began cultivating. However, a few hours later, Lu Yu frowned slightly. He discovered that during the day, he could hardly channel the power of the stars, making it nearly impossible to cultivate the Cosmic Star Technique.
“It seems I can only wait until night to more easily channel the power of the stars to cultivate this technique.”
Lu Yu thought to himself, suppressing his eagerness to cultivate the technique immediately. Then, he carefully stored the triangular stone slab.
Afterward, he left the cave and continued searching for other demonic beasts to fight.
