Chapter 1252: Let’s Check the Materials
[Are you okay with the requirements for this technique?] Sister Orb asked soon after.
Rean smiled back in response, telling her, “We have to. After all, I highly doubt we can fuse our Divine Energy, Soul Power, and our bodies together in the future if we don’t follow it.”
Roan was surprised to hear that from Rean. “You’ve come quite a long way, haven’t you? That’s right. Considering the perfection with which our Soul and Divine Energies are fused, only a perfect body cultivation technique would allow us to fuse all three together.”
[Hahaha! So you’ve already noticed that? Then I won’t say anything else anymore. Go ahead and buy it. Besides, you will still have 24945 Destiny Points remaining after that. It’s not like you need to start from zero to buy the next upgrade.]
The twins immediately sent their request into the Soul Gem Orb.
[Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique – 100000 Destiny Points.]
[Confirm purchase?]
“Yes!”
[Destiny Points: 124945]
[Conditions met. Creating Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique.]
The Soul Gem Orb began to shine a mix of black and white light. The process continued for quite a few minutes until finally, its voice echoed into the twins’ minds once again.
[Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique successfully formed. The host can access it the same way as the Divine Energy Technique.]
They didn’t waste time and immediately looked at the new technique available in the system. Or, to be more specific, the stages of cultivation.
-First Grade Star Body (Immediately applicable)-
-Second Grade Star Body (Immediately applicable)-
-Third Grade Star Body (Immediately applicable)-
-Fourth Grade…
However, what impressed them the most was the information at the end of the first three grades. “Sister Orb, what does it mean by immediately applicable?”
[It means that as long as you can find the items to refine your bodies, you can enter those grades straight away.]
“That fast? Why would it be like this?”
[Because of the bone upgrades you’ve gone through before. The Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique also improves your bones. However, you already did that with your Destiny Points. Simply put, the rest of your bodies are simply waiting for the chance to catch up to the bones’ level. Of course, your bones aren’t perfect yet. After all, you didn’t have Starlight Energy when you upgraded them. Nevertheless, having spent Destiny Points on them, you obtained the opportunity to jump levels straight away.]
Rean and Roan were happy to hear that. However, the most impressive thing was that their Dragon Bones were only enough to bring them to the third grade. There were many more grades above the third, so it was obvious that they were far from the limit of what the body could do.
Rean also noticed something else. “Then again, it seems like the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique doesn’t have stages between levels. You already jump straight to the next one after concluding the previous grade.”
[That’s correct. In fact, most of the body cultivation techniques are like that,] Sister Orb told them. [On the other hand, it takes a very long time to accumulate the necessary Starlight for the breakthrough, not to mention the required material.]
And that was the part that puzzled Roan. “Why can we break through straight into the Third Grade, then? We do have the bones, but we don’t have the Starlight necessary for the breakthroughs.”
Sister Orb answered. [What are you talking about? You have a lot of Starlight Energy for use, just enough to reach the third grade.]
“We do?!” Rean and Roan were taken aback.
Sister Orb confirmed. [You do. It’s right at the center of the Dimensional Realm.]
The twins immediately looked at the Foundation Fragment. That was the only thing present there. “You mean this fragment has enough energy for our breakthroughs? How?”
[Quite simple. The Foundation sustains the entire Universe. Naturally, it also sustains the stars. After who knows how many years, it has accumulated quite a bit of Starlight Energy. Well, the fact is that it should have much, much more of it. But because of how long it was kept in that mausoleum, it lost more than 99% of the Starlight it had accumulated. That’s why you can only reach the third grade with it.]
Sister Orb continued. [Well, even if it had more Starlight Energy, your limit would still be the third grade anyway, so it’d be useless. You will have to gather Starlight on your own after reaching the third grade.]
“That’s quite convenient. However, there’s another problem. The Starlight inside the fragment isn’t the same as our own stars’ Starlight. We shouldn’t be able to use it for cultivation, remember?”
[You’re correct. You shouldn’t be able to use other stars’ Starlight. However, the energy inside the fragment is different. As the Foundation of the Universe, everything in it is compatible with everything outside it. The Starlight inside the fragment is the only foreign Starlight you’ll be able to absorb.]
Rean couldn’t help but ask, “Then… can’t we use this method a few more times? Use the fragment to gather the foreign Starlights and let the fragment make it compatible with us.”
Sister Orb laughed after hearing that. [Hahaha! Of course you can… as long as you’re willing to wait for it to accumulate the necessary Starlight Energy, that is.]
Rean and Roan immediately noticed the problem with the theory. “Er… how long would we need to wait for it to accumulate enough Starlight Energy to enter the fourth grade?”
[Hehe! A million or so years should do the trick.]
Rean and Roan immediately gave up on the idea.
Sister Orb then explained. [In the end, it’s because it had been accumulating Starlight Energy for eons that it has this much. The fragment had never been something that existed for collecting and making Starlight Energy compatible with others. Think of it as a positive side effect of the fragment. You two can accumulate Starlight Energy from your own stars countless times faster.]
Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. “Well, we can’t complain that we can head straight to the third grade because of it. Now then, let’s check the material we need for the technique.”
