Chapter 2612 Decisions
The Starlight Body Cultivation Technique wasn"t anything rare. Its normal version was known by everyone. However, it had a huge issue; one must find a compatible star to connect with, and each person would have only one single star that could be used. Once they start using this technique, their consciousness would be dragged outside the Realm of G.o.ds, where they would become some kind of vagrant spirits. It was during that moment that a cultivator would have to find his own star. However, how could you find your specific star in an entire Universe? Obviously, it was a nigh impossible task. The number of experts that succeeded in finding their stars could be counted with both hands... until Roan learned about this technique, that is.
Normally, anyone wanting to use this technique could use an alternative method to connect with any random star. The problem was that such a connection was very unstable, and cultivation of the body through it was so slow that most didn"t even consider it. Other Body Cultivation Techniques delivered much better results in a much shorter time, so why bother?
Yet, Roan discovered a way to detect which direction one"s star is located, and in that spiritual form, one could travel extremely fast through the cosmos. He even tested it with the person who shared the technique with him. In the end, the guy easily found his star as well.
Of course, he knew what kind of impact that discovery had in the world of cultivators, so just like Roan, he kept quiet and never told anyone about it. Roan doesn"t even know if the guy is still alive or not, considering how long it has been since they saw each other.
The system recognized Roan"s discovery and even created a specific Starlight Body Cultivation technique for the twins that was even better... and a lot harder to cultivate, too. The Yin and Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. Roan pondered about it for a while longer, and in the end, he decided to refuse that idea. "I"d rather not do such a thing. First of all, Starlight Body Cultivation is different from normal cultivation. You can"t simply throw resources at it and expect to increase your level faster. There is no such thing as Starlight Stones like there is Divine Stones."
He continued. "Even if you find your star, you will have to slowly absorb the Starlight Energy and conciliate it with your normal Divine Energy Cultivation. Don"t forget that the normal version of the Starlight Cultivation Technique can not be used at the same time as the cultivation of Divine Energy. You must stop one to do the other since the meridians will be occupied."
"We are expecting the experts from outside the Universe to arrive in ten years at most. Suppose the cultivators start using the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique now and spend only half the time with their normal Divine Energy cultivation. In that case, the strength gained will be much lower than if they kept using Divine Energy cultivation all the time."
Rean agreed with Roan on that part. "For someone using the normal method, they would need a few hundred years before the gains of the Body Cultivation Technique became something worth using. Releasing this technique will only make a lot of experts divide their attention. It won"t be a good thing."
[Well, there is also the fact that a few hundred years later, the top experts would start receiving the fruits of this technique. Once you go after their Fragments... they will be a lot harder to deal with. After all, even Devils and Angels can use this technique. It is not race-limited.] Sister Orb mentioned.
Kentucky then gave up. "Well, it was just an idea. The decision ultimately falls on your shoulders. For us, Demon Beasts, this technique isn"t of much use since our bodies are usually several times stronger than you cultivators."
Roan then commented. "Alright, let"s leave it aside. Rean, how long will it take for you to finish?"
Rean smiled in response. "You are talking about the spread of the communication system? With the message we just received in the communication badge, there is no reason for me to do it anymore. The Realm of G.o.ds" experts already understood that the system would spread, and there was nothing they could do about it. That said, I"m going to Dustral Continent now. Your master, as well as the other demon beast groups, will eventually converge there."
"That"s good then," Roan was already getting impatient. He wanted to get to Hustis as soon as possible and retrieve the Fragment that was supposed to be there.
Rean was right. Jakiro and the others did receive the same message in their communication badges. That meant the mission was complete. All groups immediately stopped their journeys and turned around, moving to the closest Long-Distance Teleport Formation they could find.
A month later, in a city called Itinois. This was the biggest City on the Dustral Continent. That"s the city where Rean agreed to meet with all the other groups who helped him spread the communication system. Rean just so happened to be the first to arrive. Because the Hustis Continent was quite far away, even with the help of Long Distance Teleport Formations, it would take him another month to arrive after leaving this city. Of course, Rean still had to wait for the others to return as he promised. "Hum... The furthest group is Jakiro"s... He will take another three weeks before getting here."
Rean attention then turned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. There was one thing he had been delaying until now. "Hey, Roan, do you want to use that Free Upgrade Point now, or can we leave it for later?"
Roan could imagine what Rean was thinking. "It can be later. Let"s use it before leaving Dustral." He was also busy at the moment, helping Luan, so he didn"t mind.
"Good!" Rean immediately entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and gathered all the experts in the Blacksmith Workshop. "Everyone! It"s time to craft my special armor!"
