After arriving at Mine No. 5, Qi Yuan was busy settling the hundreds of Lei Yuan Clan members, testing the system's functions, and hadn't even had time to review the newly acquired personal guard's exclusive martial arts technique.
Now that everything was in place, he could finally calm down and take a proper look at it!
Qi Yuan began operating on the screen of his smart wristband, and quickly opened the material that Old Wu Fa had given him.
The contents were numerous. It wasn't just martial arts techniques, but also a large amount of battle secrets, techniques, and more. There were text descriptions as well as supporting video footage, all densely packed, filling the entire screen.
"This is too overwhelming to look at…" Qi Yuan muttered, feeling a headache as he looked at the countless files cluttering the screen.
"The master of Thunderstorm Star, who has mines in his family, never thought of giving his subordinates a virtual universe account? It would be so convenient in the virtual universe…"
Naturally, Qi Yuan longed for the Virtual Universe, a near-omnipotent tool that was available in the original work.
However, the Lei Yuan Star, where he originally came from, had not yet connected to the universe's civilizations, so he had never opened an account in the Virtual Universe.
Later, after being captured by the slave organization and sold, he never had the chance to come into contact with such a sophisticated thing.
Even now, after arriving at Thunderstorm Star, the master of Thunderstorm Star, who seemed to treat his subordinates well, had given him a second-tier Force Battle Blade worth millions of Black Dragon Coins, yet he never provided him with a simple, anonymous account that could be easily set up for just a few hundred coins.
It could only be said that no matter which world you were in, slaves never had the right to talk about human rights.
Giving you a Force Battle Blade was because you could use it to help me kill enemies, no matter how expensive it was, I'd still give it to you.
But a virtual universe account, something that isn't even necessary, whether or not to give it depends entirely on the master's mood.
Rather than entrusting your fate to the compassion of others, it's better to work hard on your own!
"I've transmigrated once, but I'm not here to work like a mule for you!"
To change all of this, there was only one way: cultivation! To become stronger!
Qi Yuan forced himself to focus, enduring the headache as he began to sort through the massive amount of materials Old Wu Fa had given him.
Time passed bit by bit. Though it was somewhat tedious at first, Qi Yuan found himself unknowingly becoming immersed in it.
It wasn't until a day later that he had finally roughly sorted through the materials Old Wu Fa gave him.
There were many contents, but the core of it was a set of cultivation techniques called Nine Radiances.
"Nine Radiances, created by the Lord of the Nine Radiance Realm, includes the original energy cultivation method Nine Radiance Body Refining and the accompanying battle secret technique Nine Radiance Sky Blade."
Nine Radiance Body Refining was a method that explained how to accelerate the absorption of cosmic energy to refine the genetic original energy. It was somewhat similar to the guiding technique that Luo Feng practiced when he first became a warrior, except the content was far more profound.
The Nine Radiance Sky Blade was a set of secret techniques that enhanced the amplitude of one's force.
The complete Nine Radiance Sky Blade had thirty-three stages. Each stage increased the force amplitude threefold.
When all thirty-three stages were completed, it could reach an astonishing 99 times the force amplification, and was only one step away from breaking through to immortality.
However, right now, Qi Yuan only had the first twelve stages of the cultivation technique.
"Let me try this Nine Radiance Body Refining first!"
Qi Yuan stood up and walked to the center of the temporary cave residence. He then began to recall the contents of what he had just read.
Nine Radiance Body Refining contained eighty-one special movements grouped into nine sets, each focusing on training different parts of the body.
While practicing these eighty-one special movements, one needed to assist with the genetic original energy to stimulate the cells of the body to enter a state similar to "overload."
During this process, not only would the cells be refined, but the energy within each cell would be fully exhausted.
Thus, once the training was completed, with the gene original energy and the energy in the body's cells significantly depleted, the body would feel an intense "hunger."
At that time, if one were to absorb cosmic energy for cultivation, the speed would increase dramatically.
"Let's give it a try~"
Qi Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly raised both hands from his dantian, as if an old ape extending its arms to the sky.
At the same time, his spine began to loosen, as if a flood dragon was rising through the water.
During this process, he used the method from Nine Radiance Body Refining, directing the genetic original energy in his core to his spine, bones, muscles, blood, and even every cell.
Under the stimulation of the genetic original energy, these cells seemed to be on steroids, their activity quickly increasing.
Qi Yuan felt as though a wave of hot energy was flowing through his spine, filling him with boundless vitality and the urge to release his strength!
"Second movement!"
Qi Yuan, following this surge of impulse, changed his movement, twisting his hips as if grinding a millstone, pulling his arms back and stepping forward to punch.
Instantly, the hot energy surged from his vertebrae, spreading to his shoulders, neck, and arms, flowing all the way into his fists and fingers.
In his perception, he could vaguely feel invisible energy flowing through his fingertips.
"Third movement!"
Qi Yuan changed his movement again, pulling his fists back to his waist as if hugging his stomach, and this burning sensation shifted toward his chest and abdomen.
"Fourth movement, fifth movement… eighth movement…"
Qi Yuan followed the movements from Nine Radiance Body Refining, stimulating the activity of the cells around his body with the genetic original energy.
Although this was his first time attempting this cultivation method, he was a Star-Level powerhouse with excellent control over his body, so no mistakes occurred.
Throughout the process, Qi Yuan felt as though a surge of hot energy was constantly flowing inside his body, like an endless supply of strength.
When he finally completed all eighty-one special movements from start to finish, the feeling of power surging through him came to a sudden stop.
Then, an overwhelming fatigue engulfed him.
It felt as though after an intense battle with his wife, the excitement rapidly faded, leaving him feeling utterly exhausted and empty.
Qi Yuan understood that this was the aftereffect described in Nine Radiance Body Refining—the exhaustion of cell energy.
At this moment, it was the perfect time to absorb cosmic energy to strengthen himself!
Qi Yuan immediately sat cross-legged in place, and with a thought, a grain-sized Wood Ya Crystal appeared in his hand from the system space.
The Wood Ya Crystal contained vast amounts of life force, a treasure that could promote the evolution of life. It was the perfect item to replenish his exhausted cells.
"Good thing returned items can temporarily be stored in the system space, or it would be really inconvenient to use."
He first took a large sip of Earth Soul Liquid, then tightly gripped the Wood Ya Crystal in his palm and began to operate the method from Nine Radiance Body Refining.
Immediately, a flood of life-force-rich energy surged from his palm into his body.
The cells in his body, which had just expended vast amounts of energy and were in a state of intense "hunger," began to ravenously consume the incoming energy.
Each wave of energy was immediately absorbed by the cells, the speed astonishingly fast.
After absorbing a large amount of life-force energy, Qi Yuan's cells, once starved and depleted, began to rapidly fill up again at an incredible pace.
Even after returning to their normal state, each cell still felt as though it hadn't eaten enough, and kept "devouring" the energy.
As time passed, the energy in the Wood Ya Crystal was completely absorbed.
It was at this moment that the cells, having consumed a large amount of the Wood Ya Crystal's energy, began to rapidly undergo metamorphosis.
Impurities were expelled, and each cell, while becoming more "slender," also grew stronger. The arrangement of the cells became more compact and harmonious.
Each cell continued to evolve, eventually triggering an overall evolution of his entire body!
"Boom~~~"
In Qi Yuan's dantian, a surge of genetic original energy flooded from all parts of his body, converging and compressing in his dantian space.
"Crack!"
With the final compression, there was a loud rumbling in his dantian space!
Soon after, a tiny, radiant "star" formed!
Along with the two original tiny stars.
Now, in his dantian space, three tiny stars—two slightly larger, one smaller—were orbiting each other, constantly rotating.
The Star-Level Tier 3 bottleneck that had trapped his original body for so long was easily broken at this moment!
