“Higher Spiritual Nature?” Li Yuan’s face betrayed his confusion, “President, how is this different from a normal Spiritual Awakening?”
In reality, Li Yuan’s heart was already a tumultuous sea of shock.
Because initially, the Divine Palace panel had reminded him that he was harboring an unawakened ‘Higher Spiritual Nature’.
However, after he had killed members of the Fish Spirit Clan, the Divine Palace panel’s prompt disappeared and was replaced by a ‘Spiritual Awakening Level’.
Could Dean Hai see right through him?
For a moment, Li Yuan felt uneasy and anxious, wondering if the other party could see through his Mind Spirit Divine Palace.
Were Flying Heaven Warriors that formidable?
“Having cultivated for so long, you should be clear about the essence of high-rank Cultivation Methods,” Dean Hai said with a smile.
From his appearance, Dean Hai seemed to be only about eighteen or nineteen years old, very young, and even handsomer than Li Yuan.
But his eyes were much deeper than Li Yuan’s.
“The compatibility with Origin Power,” Li Yuan said, which he had known for some time.
“Right.”
“The higher the compatibility with Origin Power, the faster you absorb it, and the quicker you grow,” Dean Hai said. “Similarly, the more spiritual power and stronger the skills you possess, the more potential you can unlock from your body, and the more Origin Power you can absorb.”
Li Yuan slightly nodded.
It was like a person naturally having a large frame and growing quickly, naturally eating more than the average person.
If this person continued exercising to build muscle, increasing their energy consumption, they would eat even more.
“All things have a spirit.”
“Origin Power is the most essential and pure force of the universe, which is why every life form can be close to it, though the degree of closeness varies,” Dean Hai explained. “Even though you don’t resonate with any high-rank Cultivation Techniques, your ability to absorb Origin Power is extremely strong, isn’t it?”
Li Yuan remained silent, listening.
“President Li mentioned you possessed Heavenly Materials Treasures, which is why your physical quality surged overnight during the combat assessment,” Dean Hai said with a half-smile. “But I’ve contacted Lord Yang of the Province, and the Starfire Martial Hall didn’t give you any Heavenly Materials Treasures.”
Li Yuan’s heart lurched.
What was this, cheating?
“Just now, when I sensed your entire body, I found traces of absorbing Origin Power but no signs of using other treasures,” Dean Hai remarked with a hint of admiration. “It’s enough to prove that your compatibility with Origin Power is unimaginably high.”
“Add your comprehension and spiritual power… it’s almost certain that you have ‘Higher Spiritual Nature’ within you.”
Li Yuan was speechless.
Hey! Big shot, I didn’t even open my mouth, and you’ve finished the story?
“Your discernment is enlightening,” Li Yuan replied vaguely.
Since the big shot had already reasoned it out, he naturally took advantage of it without any objections.
“The so-called ‘Higher Spiritual Nature’ signifies an extremely high compatibility with a certain type of Origin Power, which will make your Martial Path naturally much smoother than normal people,” Dean Hai continued. “It will even influence the growth of your skills.”
“Once your skills enter the Fifth Stage, or even in the future when they reach the Sixth Stage…”
“Higher Spiritual Nature will provide you with great assistance,” Dean Hai said.
Li Yuan listened with astonishment; was it that powerful?
“Higher Spiritual Nature might sound mysterious, but if I use another word, you’ll understand a lot more—bloodline,” Dean Hai stated with a smile. “Some creatures are naturally very strong.”
“Take the black dragon outside our building; it’s a Second Order life form at birth, and with just a little effort, it becomes a Third Order being… it’s all because its bloodline is extremely potent,” Dean Hai said with a chuckle. “In alien civilizations at the edges of some Star Realms, there are numerous creatures that are Third Order lives from birth.”
“The strongest ones are even beyond the Flying Heaven Level upon reaching adulthood,” Dean Hai sighed with emotion. “What is the endpoint of our human cultivators’ struggles is just the starting point for others.”
Li Yuan listened in shock.
Born at the Flying Heaven Level? Or even surpassing it just like that?
That’s too exaggerated! How could one possibly fight against that?
“Of course, it’s exceedingly rare for alien races to be born at the Flying Heaven Level or higher, and they have no relation to us,” Dean Hai said with a smile. “They also can’t cross over to us.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Different strengths, different perspectives. Talking with Dean Hai greatly broadened Li Yuan’s horizon.
“President, are you suggesting that there’s an extremely powerful bloodline hidden within me?” Li Yuan pondered aloud.
“Yes,” Dean Hai nodded. “Because of this bloodline (Higher Spiritual Nature), as you grow, your spiritual power becomes increasingly strong. You have now reached the level of a Prime Warrior, and you can easily absorb a large amount of Origin Power without high-rank Cultivation Techniques, and your physical quality is also rapidly improving.”
Li Yuan appeared contemplative, but his mind was busy with thoughts.
This analysis…
‘Higher Spiritual Nature’ as mentioned by Dean Hai, might not be the same as the ‘Higher Spiritual Nature’ on the Divine Palace panel.
After all, his spiritual power and physical quality were achieved through painstaking cultivation.
It’s related to his body’s innate talent, but not significantly.
“President, are you implying there are quite a few people like me within our human civilization?” Li Yuan asked curiously.
“Not many, but not few,” Dean Hai replied. “Strictly speaking, there are some secrets that you are not yet qualified to know.”
“But considering that you are one of them, there’s no harm in telling you. Just remember not to disclose it,” Dean Hai said indifferently. “Mainly, a few large families will continuously produce individuals with Higher Spiritual Natures.”
“Or rather, Bloodline Awakeners.”
“Large families? Bloodline Awakeners?” Li Yuan was astonished. “Can Higher Spiritual Nature be inherited?”
He had indeed never heard of such a thing before.
“Yes.”
“Just as genes can be inherited, so can the talent for spirituality.”
“For instance, the well-known ‘Flame Family,’ which has produced many Bloodline Awakeners and is powerful with a history of accumulations, eventually created a unique Cultivation Technique called the ‘Nirvana Divine Scripture,’ which is much more efficient than high-rank Cultivation Methods,” Dean Hai explained casually. “To date, the family has produced several dozen Flying Heaven Warriors.”
“Several dozen?” Li Yuan was flabbergasted. That was just too exaggerated.
“Why not keep breeding these families? Wouldn’t that mean our human civilization would see a surge in the number of Flying Heaven Warriors?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
This kind of bloodline inheritance had an overwhelming advantage.
“It’s not that easy,”
“First, most descendants are normal people, and only a very few can awaken, although the probability is much higher than that of ordinary people,” Dean Hai said with a smile. “Second, they created special cultivation techniques suitable for this kind of high-level spiritual nature, which is why the success rate seems higher.”
“Third, the more powerful the being, the harder it is to reproduce.”
“Even for some extremely powerful beings, like those who surpass the Flying Heaven Level, do you think ordinary people can become their partners? A single charge…” Dean Hai suddenly changed his sentence. “It’s like elephants and ants, can they produce offspring?”
Li Yuan felt like laughing but understood what Dean Hai meant.
From the First Rank to the Second Rank, and from the Second Rank to the Third Rank, although still human, the essence of their life level undergoes a fundamental leap.
“Of course.”
“High-level spiritual nature cannot be detected, at least I can’t do it; one can only guess from external signs that you are one as well,” Dean Hai said. “The biggest difficulty you face right now is the cultivation technique.”
Li Yuan listened intently.
“Without a cultivation technique, even though you have an extremely high affinity with Origin Power, and by the time you reach level 20, your body will naturally absorb a large amount of external Origin Power, which is more than ten times that of ordinary Prime Warriors, you would need at least twenty years to become a level 29 Prime Warrior,” Dean Hai said.
A thought struck Li Yuan.
So, does that mean ordinary Prime Warriors, without a cultivation technique, could also reach level 29 by passively absorbing for two hundred years?
Of course, first, their techniques would have to break through.
“What is the essence of a cultivation technique?”
“To sense the life star within the body, forming a Zhou Tian cycle, allowing the Origin Power to flow endlessly,” Dean Hai spoke slowly. “Our human body is like the vast starry sky, containing 480 million tiny stars.”
“480 million body stars?” Li Yuan was astounded.
Is the human body like a miniature universe?
Such a precise number?
“This is an imaginary number; no one knows the exact number of body stars,” Dean Hai said with a smile. “It’s like counting the stars in the universe’s starry sky; can you count them all?”
Li Yuan shook his head.
“The countless stars within the human body are imperceptible, the majority of which are dormant, dead stars where Origin Power cannot reside.”
“Only a very few awaken, known as ‘Life Stars,’ much like the vast cosmos where life-sustaining stars are a minority, with the majority being unsuitable for life,” Dean Hai continued.
“But these few Life Stars are the key to life evolution; they are the nodes through which Origin Power circulates within the body.”
“Just as a few life-sustaining planets are what make this vast universe uniquely brilliant.”
A series of statements.
It gave Li Yuan a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Directly pointing to the essence of life evolution.
“With countless stars in the human body, even if Life Stars make up only one part in a million, the total number is still enormous,” Dean Hai said. “High-ranking cultivation techniques are about our minds gradually sensing the Life Stars located throughout the human body, imprinting spiritual marks on them, and eventually linking hundreds or thousands of Life Stars together.”
“Forming a great cycle, with Origin Power circulating through these Life Stars, nourishing every part of the body, making these Life Stars stronger and stronger.”
Li Yuan was all ears.
The essence of high-ranking cultivation techniques was something he had not known in the past.
“Within the same species, with a genetic similarity above 99.9%, Life Stars are the same,” Dean Hai said. “The seven high-level cultivation methods are derived from the myriad body stars, finding paths based on the seven more fixed, common routes of Life Stars in our human bodies.”
“Allowing a large number of humans to sense Life Stars in a relatively safe manner, one after another.”
“Law creation,”
“relies on oneself, continuously sensing the stars within the body to find a circulating path of life,” Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan. “This is very dangerous.”
“It’s like sending a spacecraft to reach an unfamiliar planet; what if it’s a dead star?”
“Death,” Li Yuan hesitated before responding.
“Right.”
“With countless stars within the body, it’s hard to know if it’s a dead star before the mind directs the Origin Power there,” Dean Hai sighed lightly. “One failure would cause the body to be injured once.”
“Two failures, three failures… until eventually the body completely collapses.”
“However,”
“as a higher spiritual being, the number of ‘Life Stars’ awakened in your body is certainly far more than that of ordinary people,” Dean Hai said. “Combined with your strong spiritual power and impressive skills, your spiritual sense will be clearer, allowing you to avoid many small mistakes.”
“Moreover, this is not a few hundred years ago.”
“Nowadays, you can refer to the seven high-level cultivation methods, and find the common traits of the Life Star trajectories in our human bodies… Overall, I judge that your chances of successful law creation should be over 80%,” Dean Hai made his assessment.
“80%?”
Li Yuan couldn’t help but say, “I remember President Li said before that I had a 40 to 50% chance of success.”
“Foolish!”
“When you were signed, were your spiritual power and techniques as strong as they are now?” Dean Hai spoke indifferently. “Predictions can only be based on the current stage.”
“If your techniques don’t improve quickly enough afterward, then it’s normal for your chances of success to drop to 50% or even lower.”
“Likewise, if your techniques quickly reach the Sixth Stage, then your success rate would approach nearly 100%.”
Li Yuan had nothing to say.
Techniques at the Sixth Stage? He was still far from even reaching perfect Fourth Level.
…
“Law creation comes after you become a Prime Warrior,”
“What’s most important for you right now is to improve your physical quality and techniques,” Dean Hai spoke calmly.
“As for techniques, you’ve received enough training; it’s all about your comprehension.”
“But physical quality,”
“The earlier you become a Prime Warrior, the stronger your vitality, the more law creation failures you can withstand, and the greater your chances are,” Dean Hai said.
“I have prepared a Heavenly Materials Treasure for you, ‘Hundred Marrow Spirit Dry.'” Dean Hai spoke indifferently: “There are 20 units in total, and each unit should let you withstand 10 sessions of uninterrupted absorption of the High Origin Spirit Spring.”
“Within two years, it should more than double your cultivation speed.”
Li Yuan’s eyes lit up; the effects seemed to be incredibly potent.
His growth rate was already fast, but to increase it by more than double?
“However, the pain from using it will also be several times that of the Spirit Marrow Cleansing,”
