Breaking through to the Star level was more difficult than advancing from the first to the ninth stage of the Planetary level, and it required vastly greater amounts of energy. The energy within the entire World Ring was five times what it had been before, and more than a hundred times denser than the Cosmic Energy on Earth.
At the center of the World Ring, Qin Hao sat cross-legged on the ground. The pores across his body opened, and every acupoint turned into a massive vortex, rapidly devouring the energy around him.
Qin Hao had also created his current cultivation method based on Five Hearts Towards Heaven, the Source Star Cultivation Method, and the acupoint cultivation methods within the Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens. It allowed every acupoint and pore in his body to absorb Cosmic Energy. Even when he was not actively cultivating, they could automatically absorb energy, though at a relatively slow rate.
It was precisely because of this technique that Qin Hao was confident he could grow rapidly even without relying on a nutrient pod.
As energy continuously poured into his Dantian World, the nine planets began to expand rapidly, growing ever larger as they continuously moved closer toward the center of the Dantian World.
