[Falling Stars in the Night, a Zhenmo level sword technique. It has nine forms, each one overwhelming in power and capable of shaking the heavens.]
[Simplified Falling Stars in the Night, follow the pattern shown and practice your sword in the darkness for seven days and seven nights.]
The entry requirement was not difficult at all. The system displayed a pattern that felt like it had evolved directly from the original technique.
Yun Jin gripped Tai'a and stood up. She began practicing at once.
The Devouring Demon God watched in silence. Was she already gaining insight so quickly?
Given her cultivation, Falling Stars in the Night was anything but easy.
Or perhaps, she was just feeling it out, practicing casually first?
After watching for a while, the Devouring Demon God felt a flicker of surprise.
Liu Yue was not swinging her sword at random. Her motions looked chaotic, yet every form carried a subtle connection. If someone linked those motions together, they pointed straight at the core of Falling Stars in the Night.
It was like this.
Falling Stars in the Night was a massive tangled thread.
Right now, she had found the loose end, and she was pulling it slowly and carefully, unraveling the whole thing. With just one look, she had grasped the technique to this extent.
At this pace, within a few months, she might well master the first form. Such speed was terrifying.
The smile on the Devouring Demon God's lips could not be suppressed. He truly felt that Heaven itself was favoring his Devouring Clan by giving him such an unmatched prodigy.
At this rate, he only needed to hold on for tens of thousands of years, and once she grew into her potential, he could ascend without any worry.
The Devouring Demon God did not sleep this time. He simply watched Yun Jin practice, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.
His Devouring Clan were indeed the chosen of Heaven.
If not, why would every other super race fail to produce a prodigy, while his clan did?
He had originally estimated that in a few months, she would enter the technique. He planned to reveal himself then. He never expected. Her comprehension would exceed his projections by distances.
On the eighth day.
After seven days of accumulation, Yun Jin felt her eyes flicker. A sliver of spiritual light flashed through her mind.
In that instant, Tai'a and one of the stars in the vast firmament seemed to form a connection.
The moment her sword moved, a streak of meteor force crashed down, carving a massive pit in the ground.
First form, Meteor Fall.
She had it.
[Emotional Value +1000*99!]
[Emotional Value +1000*99!]
[Emotional Value +1000*99!]
The smile at the corner of her lips turned even more subtle.
The Devouring Demon God's wool appeared endless. She still hadn't finished pulling it.
The Devouring Demon God forced his excitement down, and in his heart, her position climbed ever higher.
The conversion of the Dark Star Codex combined with entering Falling Stars in the Night. These were the two tasks he set her to finish in ten years.
He even worried they were too heavy. Yet here she was. Not even a month had passed. The entire plan was already completed.
When she had asked him for more techniques, that had not been empty bragging. His clanswoman truly possessed this kind of ability. He had intended to send a clone immediately.
But after mastering the first form, she did not pause at all and plunged straight back into training. With the system's boost, her proficiency rose in smooth, steady steps.
Another seven days passed.
She mastered the second form.
Another twenty days.
She mastered the third.
Another thirty days.
She mastered the fourth.
Three months later.
She mastered the fifth and sixth.
When she understood the sixth form, the stars hidden beyond the blazing sun stirred wildly.
A river of stars appeared in broad daylight. Though the vision lasted only a heartbeat. It still shook the demon city. A daytime star river had appeared long ago as well.
Within the Devouring Clan there had once been a technique that pointed directly at the source of the Primordial Stars.
Someone.
Had used that technique to comprehend the Primordial Stars.
Who was it?
"Could it be Yang Liu Dàrén? I remember Yang Liu Dàrén always cultivated the Primordial Stars."
"Maybe. Or it could be Chen Ye Dàrén. Though he started later, the Demon God said he had remarkable talent in that domain."
"Haha, do you think it could be the Demon God's new disciple, Liu Yue Dàrén?"
The demons burst into laughter.
"Liu Yue Dàrén has been in the Demon God Palace for less than half a year. The Primordial Stars is a genuine third tier domain. With her age, mastering even a fourth tier domain is rare enough. Third tier is absurd."
"Cough, I was just joking. I hope Liu Yue Dàrén can one day comprehend a third tier domain too."
"Who wouldn't wish that? After all, Liu Yue Dàrén is the prodigy of our own Devouring Clan."
The chatter slowly died down.
Beside the demon pool, the Devouring Demon God's clone stood before Yun Jin, wearing a complicated expression.
In this technique.
The first six forms came entirely from the complete Primordial Stars. The remaining three were a fusion of the complete Primordial Stars and a fragment of the Primordial Darkness.
Those last three could not be grasped until one broke through to the Zhenmo realm.
Yun Jin had spent less than half a year and had already mastered every part she could reach. An entire third tier domain. She had done it in under half a year.
The pointer from a technique might help. But her talent had completely crushed the limits of what he thought possible.
"Demon God," Yun Jin said respectfully, "I have completed every task you set."
The Devouring Demon God felt his lips twitch. Those tasks were meant to get her into Falling Stars in the Night. He had not expected her to command an entire domain. For a long moment, he could not speak.
"I wonder, what should we learn next?" She looked at him, eyes bright with expectation.
The Devouring Demon God could only wave his hand.
The world twisted.
Yun Jin found herself standing inside a nine story library.
When she looked around, her eyes shone.
"These are almost all of my collections. The time ahead is yours to learn as you wish." His voice drifted in from afar. "When the ten years are up, I will call you out."
He was generous. His most essential techniques were not in this library. Everything else, she could take as she pleased.
A prodigy deserved special treatment.
At that moment, the Devouring Demon God felt no worry at all about the upcoming disciple battle. He honestly could not imagine how Yun Jin would lose.
A third tier domain alone ensured she would remain invincible among peers. That so called contest was nothing but formality. Her real task was to raise her own limits.
So many books and free study. It was like a mouse stepping into a granary.
Yun Jin's eyes lit up.
Very good.
With this mountain of knowledge.
She could not even imagine how strong she might become.
