I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 679: The Secret of Cultivation—Spirit Awakening Stone

Is it really worth the concern, that thing entering the body?

To establish an array, certain materials must be prepared beforehand and placed within the grand formation. This crucial task falls to the three subordinates serving the Martial Emperor.

Once these two powerful individuals channel the Power of the Primordial to energize and integrate all the array components, the formation will be complete.

During this very process, the Blazing Heaven Viper Poison, stealthily concealed within the large array, silently seeps into Lin Yi’s body.

"That matter cannot be dealt with at this moment. If I were to address it now, how could I possibly learn Xiang Wuxing’s techniques?"

The monkey, instantly grasping Lin Yi’s unspoken thoughts, then let out a soft chuckle.

"I had assumed your perception would dwindle to such an extent in my absence. Very well, you shall handle the subsequent stages on your own, while I attend to those soul cores."

The booming cheers brought Lin Yi’s drifting thoughts back to the present reality.

To erect an array capable of defending against the majority of Shadow Devourers is, without question, the most magnificent news for the entire Yun Yuan front.

Who would truly desire a peaceful existence only to be abruptly consumed by monstrous entities one day?

Observing Lin Yi standing stock-still, lost in thought for several seconds, the Martial Emperor suddenly felt a prickle of unease.

Could it be that this young man, Lin Yi, had detected something amiss and seen through the true purpose behind this entire endeavor?

"Young friend Lin Yi, has the intricate process of setting up this array drained too much of your vitality? You appear somewhat pale."

Lin Yi fully comprehended the Martial Emperor’s underlying intentions.

"No, esteemed Mr. Wv, I am grateful for your concern. My momentary lapse was not due to injury; I am simply astounded by the profound mystery of this array. If my own star system possessed such a protective measure, why would we ever need to fear foreign incursions?"

Lin Yi’s declaration was utterly sincere, his outward expression betraying no hint of deception.

Striving to project an image of magnanimity, the Martial Emperor, with an almost unrestrained generosity, spoke thus:

"Should young friend Lin Yi desire it, I am willing to impart the comprehensive methodology and material list for constructing this array. I could even personally escort you to your star system to assist in its establishment. What say you?"

Had the Martial Emperor refrained from making this offer, Lin Yi might not have even recognized the sheer magnitude of his own clandestine aspirations.

Lin Yi had nearly forgotten; the concept of departing one’s own star system to venture into another is virtually an impossibility.

"Would that not impose an excessive burden upon you, senior?"

Lin Yi adopted an affectation of bashfulness, skillfully embodying the humility expected of a junior.

Neither the Martial Emperor nor any individual associated with Xiang Wuxing detected any falsity in his demeanor.

With the defenses of Xiang Wuxing now fully secured, the Martial Emperor saw no valid reason to deny Lin Yi the opportunity to learn.

Upon returning to the Martial Emperor Hall, the Martial Emperor commenced his explanation to Lin Yi, detailing the pivotal aspect concerning the Xiang Wuxing people’s boundless capacity for comprehending cultivation techniques, which on Blue Star are referred to as skills.

Commencing at the age of eighteen, they gain exposure to Spirit Crystals, identify their chosen profession, and subsequently become professionals – a universally known fact among all Blue Star inhabitants.

In stark contrast to Blue Star, the cultivation journey on Xiang Wuxing commences at an even earlier stage.

As soon as children on Xiang Wuxing reach an age of comprehension, they make contact with a unique mineral native to their world – the Spirit Awakening Stone.

At the precise moment of contact with this Spirit Awakening Stone, a specialized ability is infused into the Xiang Wuxing individual’s being, bestowing upon them a unique power – the activation of the Inner Court.

Within this Inner Court, Xiang Wuxing individuals possess the capability to repeatedly practice Heart Methods, thereby achieving rapid mastery of martial arts.

Significantly, after acquiring the Inner Court, the cryptic texts found within martial art Heart Methods are projected directly into the Inner Court for continuous, in-depth analysis.

This represents a truly unique ability inherent to the Xiang Wuxing people.

Despite their planet’s technological advancement lagging thousands of years behind Blue Star, every single inhabitant of Xiang Wuxing, irrespective of age or gender, possesses a certain degree of combat proficiency.

Through pure strength enhancement derived from cultivation, their physical fortitude approaches that of beasts transformed by cultivation practices.

Even with the advancements and overall surge in power experienced by the Blue Star Planet Will, it does not guarantee an absolute triumph over the Xiang Wuxing forces.

Lin Yi’s personal physical resilience, capable of overwhelming the three continental elders, proves little in itself; Lin Yi is, by his very nature, an extraordinary entity.

"The quality of Spirit Awakening Stones varies greatly; those of superior grade are instrumental in cultivating formidable talents. Ciyun Peak once possessed Spirit Awakening Stones of respectable quality, but now, who knows where they have vanished to?"

"Prior to the Eight Mansions’ decision to replace Dubhe Pavilion, Yunhe Town harbored factions with designs on Ciyun Peak."

The Martial Emperor sighed, shaking his head in resignation, lamenting both his niece’s struggles and his own perceived failures.

Indeed, how could a mere sixteen-year-old girl possibly safeguard all the treasures of Ciyun Peak? The pilfering of the Spirit Awakening Stones was an almost inevitable outcome.

Furthermore, prior to the Martial Emperor revealing Lin Yi’s true background, Zhang Yun had already perceived Lin Yi as a Young Master accompanied by divine beasts, akin to a dragon, serving as his bodyguards. Who could have foreseen that Lin Yi had never actually utilized a Spirit Awakening Stone?

As attendants from the Martial Emperor Hall presented a Spirit Crystal, radiating a translucent purple luminescence, before him, Lin Yi experienced a surge of anticipation.

While the concerns of the Martial Emperor regarding longevity did not burden him, the imperative to augment his power remained.

Without substantial strength, how could he possibly confront formidable adversaries?

He was resolute in relying solely on his own might, dedicating himself to its maximum enhancement.

Why did Zacks covertly offer his assistance? Lin Yi had yet to arrive at a definitive conclusion, yet he was certain that Zacks harbored no ill intentions towards him.

Perhaps this Upper-Rank God, much like the Great Saint, was a dissenter against the established order of the Three Realms and Six Paths?

"My profound gratitude to you, Senior Martial Emperor."

Lin Yi executed a polite fist salute, but before he could even lay a hand on the Spirit Awakening Stone, Ao Shu impetuously leaped forward, intent on improving her own cultivation potential.

One could hardly fault Ao Shu’s boldness; she had been excessively indulged by Lin Yi since her youth. Despite their designation as master and battle pet, neither truly adhered to these roles, cherishing each other deeply.

Moreover, the Martial Emperor projected an image of empathy, benevolence, and approachability, a persona that surely would not instill wariness in Ao Shu, would it?

The Eyes of Golden Flame possessed an extraordinary keenness.

Lin Yi discerned immediately that the material composing the Spirit Awakening Stone should not emit such an unsettling purple glow. It was evident that some substance must have been applied to its surface.

Lin Yi was fully aware of its nature.

The Martial Emperor's underlying ambition to subjugate Lin Yi was already glaringly apparent; if Lin Yi could not perceive such a transparent stratagem, he truly ought to retire from all conflict.

"What exactly do you think you are doing, girl?!"

"Have you perhaps forgotten that you are, in essence, merely my battle pet?"

Lin Yi’s tone grew noticeably icier.

Concurrently, his Source Power surged, and a potent gravitational force abruptly acted upon Ao Shu, forcefully yanking her diminutive, loli-like form backward until Lin Yi had her completely ensnared within his grasp.
