Chapter 768: Chapter 23: Two Cultivation Systems
In the Mythical Era, the starry sky is as vast as the earth.
This is not to say that the area of the starry sky is small, but after dimensional elevation, the earth possesses an almost infinitely vast territory.
Every inch of land corresponds to an inch of starry sky, and each star is a projection of the earth onto the sky.
As broad as the land is, so wide is the sky, and the starry sky as large.
Especially after the order of the Three Realms was established, the Six Desire Heavens became part of the Celestial Realm, and everyone saw the starry sky as a projection of the Celestial Realm in the human world.
Just as the endless vast underground symbolizes the Underworld.
Within that nearly infinitely wide starry sky, different star fields were also divided according to the distance from the earth.
Mainly divided into three enclosures, four symbols, and twenty-eight constellations.
Encompassing 365 stars of the Celestial Sphere, 48,000 Evil Stars, and those nearly infinite stars, ceaselessly birthing and perishing.
Among them, the twenty-eight constellations closest to the ecliptic and celestial equator are the so-called "twenty-eight constellations."
As the stars closest to the earth, the twenty-eight constellations are not only stars visible to the naked eye but also endlessly influenced by the earth’s rotation.
Whoosh!
When Gou Chen crossed the realms, he immediately felt the pressure of the twenty-eight constellations.
Without the protection of the atmosphere and magnetic field, extreme cold invaded the marrow, and breathing would only lead to a more despairing state of suffocation...
Due to the rapid loss of oxygen and temperature, Gou Chen’s body began to dehydrate and freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Sigh!"
In a flash, Gou Chen switched his breathing to an internal cycle mode.
This is an instinct that all cultivators who have stepped into the realm of Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation can use.
Cultivators reaching this realm have essentially detached from reliance on the external environment.
As long as it’s not an extremely harsh environment, they can survive anywhere.
Of course, the starry sky is evidently such an "extremely harsh" environment.
So, relying solely on his own internal breathing cycle, Gou Chen still couldn’t quickly restore the heat he had lost.
Thus, Feng Long began to act, forming a field of lightning three feet around him.
Rumble...
Under the cover of this lightning field, even Huo Dou was only slightly mentally sluggish, without affecting its survival ability.
"Such vast and complex star power..."
Slowly spreading his arms, Gou Chen could clearly feel the agitation of the primordial qi within him.
Star power is a type of primordial qi but is unsuitable for the living beings on earth.
Plus, the stars in this starry sky are each independent, and the repulsion among star powers far exceeds that of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Even with the 36 Transformations, Gou Chen couldn’t easily absorb Gouchen Star power as before to strengthen himself.
"This is the most primitive star force, entirely different from the Gouchen Star power you previously drew upon."
Also taking a deep breath, Feng Long’s expression appeared much more cheerful.
Because he wasn’t a carbon-based lifeform but a God transformed by thunder and cloud.
For a God, coming from the earth to this starry sky is like coming onto land from the water.
Although it felt uncomfortable in the short term, it wasn’t completely unacceptable.
On the contrary, once adapting to this vacuum environment without a magnetic field and oxygen, this vast star power is essentially the same as the primordial qi on earth.
At least, for an elemental god like Feng Long, this was so.
"This star power is vast but also equally independent and repulsive."
"Before finding the star power most suitable for you, I don’t recommend you absorb a large amount of star power."
Seeing through Feng Long’s thoughts in an instant, Gou Chen lowered his voice and said.
"Moreover, this star power is different from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi; each strand of star power has its master, corresponding to a Star God."
"If you absorb too much star power, you might indeed free yourself from the constraints of the ’Divine Control Technique,’ but you would also become an avatar of some Star God in the human world."
At these words, the previously restless Feng Long immediately quieted down.
Because he knew the other was right, this was the important reason why All Heaven Star Force and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, though originating from the same source, were divided into two entirely different systems.
Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was born before the Pathfinders, forming the foundation of all operation in the universe.
All Heaven Star Force emerged after the birth of Pathfinders, only existing because of them.
Therefore, these celestial stars naturally represent paths, and cultivating by absorbing these star forces is tantamount to competing for these positions of Star Gods.
Only man-made star forces like Gouchen Celestial Palace’s or forces of ownerless stars have no repercussions.
"You’re right, I acted impulsively."
After a brief silence, Feng Long laughed again.
"But you haven’t forgotten what you promised me earlier, right?"
"I help you head to Gouchen Celestial Palace, and we split Gouchen Star power fifty-fifty from now on."
The "Divine Control Technique" isn’t a one-sided method of imprisoning and controlling gods but rather a dual cultivation method where one plus one equals more than two.
Especially for Innate Divine beings like the Mountain People.
The Gods can rapidly grow by using the vast Life Essence Qi within them, while they can use the Gods’ power to perform Magical Divine Power.
Theoretically, as long as Gou Chen agrees, he can split his future cultivation progress with Feng Long.
"Of course, I always keep my word."
Gou Chen spoke truthfully, and his promises were without any discount.
As long as Gouchen Celestial Palace can survive this trial, in the future, he...to be accurate, all the Mountain People will no longer lack any primordial qi.
As long as the limits of their bodies can accommodate, they can have as much primordial qi as they want.
Share half with Feng Long?
That would merely take a little more time, which wouldn’t even affect his own cultivation.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if you were like this earlier, we would have reconciled long ago!"
Feng Long naturally understood this point, and at that moment cast his gaze into the deep starry sky not far away.
And on the intersection of the ecliptic and celestial equator, the artificial celestial palace bathed in starlight appeared so conspicuous.
"Caicai! You go first!"
Even before Feng Long’s words were fully spoken, Caicai by Gou Chen’s feet lifted its head blankly.
"Silly dog, don’t listen to everyone’s orders!"
Pats his forehead with an expression of frustration, Gou Chen turned to reprimand Feng Long impatiently.
"Feng Long, if you continue causing trouble, the star power split will be sixty-forty in the future!"
Clicking his tongue with discontent, Feng Long didn’t continue creating trouble, transforming into a flash of lightning towards Gouchen Celestial Palace.
Rumble...
A dazzling lightning split the sky, the silent thunder echoing in all directions.
In this endless vacuum, only the interplay of lightning and starlight captured everyone’s attention.
All those watching this turmoil would not miss the prelude to this destined great battle.
