Merit

Bai Ye's fingertips brushed lightly across the surface of the White Jade Platform.

The touch was warm and smooth like jade; the Star Runes carved into the platform grew faintly hot beneath his palm, pulsing as if alive.

He placed the Snow-white Storage Ring gifted by the Profound Sword Master on his knee. The star patterns on the ring echoed the runes on the platform, shimmering with a faint silver glow.

This ring was more than a storage tool—it was a secret treasure capable of resonating with the space of the God Transformation Tower.

Once ready, he slowly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

The next moment, his sea of consciousness spread out like a calm lake. The pale-golden runes of the Star Creation Art flared to life, rotating slowly at its center like a miniature star.

"Let's begin."

He murmured inwardly, pushing his Ten Thousand Times Comprehension to its absolute limit.

The obscurity of a Saint-grade Top-tier technique far surpassed the Heaven-grade. An ordinary cultivator might spend their entire life's effort and still fail to grasp even the threshold.

But before Ten Thousand Times Comprehension, the arcane words describing the movement of stars, the complex pathways of spiritual energy conversion, and the deep logic of Dao insight in the Star Creation Art all became as clear as a peeled fruit.

His consciousness felt drawn by a gentle force, breaking free from the shackles of his flesh and merging into a boundless sea of stars.

Countless stars were born and died around him. Some burst with dazzling blue light, others faded into silent crimson. The cycles of sun and moon unfolded before his eyes like silk, and the "Star Laws" of heaven and earth turned into visible threads, coiling deep within his sea of consciousness!

He followed these threads of law, groping along them. Every time he touched one, his understanding of the technique deepened by another measure.

Bottlenecks that would have taken years of bitter cultivation to break were as fragile as paper before him.

In less than half an hour, when the last thread of law fused with the runes in his sea of consciousness, the final barrier of the Star Creation Art shattered with a thunderous roar!

Boom—!

A deafening explosion rang out in the topmost space of the God Transformation Tower. A Golden Portal five zhang wide tore through the void!

Unlike any previous Heavenly Dao Boon, what surged out of this portal was not ordinary spiritual essence, but "Star Spiritual Energy" laced with specks of silver light!

—This energy was a hundred times purer than the spiritual energy in Top-grade Spirit Stones. When it touched his skin, it carried a cool warmth, as if the temperature of the stars themselves were melting into his flesh and blood.

Bai Ye's body was completely enveloped by Star Spiritual Energy. The meridians beneath his skin began to flicker violently.

The pale-golden runes of his original Innate Dao Body gradually faded under the torrent of Star Spiritual Energy, replaced by deep, Chaos-colored runes.

As these runes flowed, faint phantoms of the primordial world's birth could be glimpsed within them.

He could clearly feel that his connection to the laws of heaven and earth had become unprecedentedly tight!

The spiritual energy in the air seemed to rush toward his pores on its own. The Star Runes on the floor tiles pulsed in sync with his breathing. Even the spiritual energy fluctuations transmitted from the distant tower body seemed to resonate with him!

At this moment, it was as if he was no longer a cultivator, but a part of the Great Dao itself!

"Innate Chaos Dao Body!"

Bai Ye's eyes snapped open. A Chaos-colored stream of light flashed through his gaze, and his voice was filled with shock.

He had once seen records in ancient texts—this Dao Body was a legendary top-tier physique, over ten times stronger than the Innate Dao Body!

Not only could it actively draw in the essence of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, but it could also directly absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth for cultivation!

Its speed was far beyond "ten times the effort for a hundred times the result."

If you find this book good, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

It was more like "ten thousand times the result for the same effort!"

He didn't hesitate. From his storage ring, he took out a Realm-Breaking Pill the size of a dragon's eye.

Nine golden lines swirled on the pill's surface—the mark of a Ninth-Rank Pill. Its rich medicinal fragrance made the surrounding Star Spiritual Energy tremble faintly.

Then, he produced dozens of fist-sized Top-grade Spirit Stones. Piled before him, they radiated dazzling spiritual light, enough to sustain a Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator for years of bitter training.

The pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth. A vast yet gentle medicinal force surged through his body in an instant, flowing along his meridians toward his Dantian.

At the same time, Bai Ye channeled power through his palms. The spiritual energy from the Top-grade Spirit Stones poured into his body like a bursting dam.

With the support of the Innate Chaos Dao Body, his spiritual energy circulation speed skyrocketed to its peak—

Profound Comprehension Seventh Layer!

The density of liquid spiritual energy in his Dantian instantly increased by thirty percent. His meridians were widened nearly twofold. All previously stagnant energy nodes were cleared!

Profound Comprehension Eighth Layer!

His sea of consciousness expanded several times over. His perception of heaven and earth's laws grew sharper. A mere raise of his hand could draw in surrounding spiritual energy to form a shield!

Profound Comprehension Ninth Layer!

His spiritual energy fully condensed into an amber-like liquid, rotating slowly within his Dantian and radiating a suffocating pressure. He was only one step away from Profound Comprehension Peak Perfection!

In the span of a single incense stick's burn, his cultivation had soared like a Rocket-Like, charging straight to Profound Comprehension Peak Perfection!

The spiritual energy within him was so dense it felt ready to overflow. His meridians were as tough as Earth-grade spiritual tools. His soul in the sea of consciousness was as solid as crystal. Only one final step remained before he could condense an Infant Dao Fruit!

"Next—the [Movement Character Secret] and the [All Character Secret]."

Bai Ye took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and summoned the information of the two Saint-grade secret manuals from his sea of consciousness, beginning to comprehend them.

When comprehending the [Movement Character Secret], his consciousness seemed to transform into a stream of light, darting between heaven and earth.

The wind howled past his ears. Scenery blurred and receded before his eyes. He could clearly feel the folds in space, the trajectories of airflow, and even catch the faint gaps through which light traveled!

The mysteries of the Law of Speed unfolded before his eyes.

He finally understood that true speed was not mere physical swiftness, but the ability to "leap" by borrowing the Law of Space—a single step could span several li, achieving the true art of shrinking the earth into inches!

As he comprehended the All Character Secret, every cell within his body seemed to ignite. Spiritual Energy surged wildly through his meridians, yet was condensed into a single point by an invisible force.

He could clearly control the flow of every strand of Spiritual Energy, compressing all his power into a needle-thin strike.

This eruption was not a depletion of life force, but a brief tearing of his own Realm Barrier, allowing his combat strength to break through limits—a Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator could fight a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could battle a Tribulation Transcendence expert!

When these two secret manuals were comprehended to Peak Mastery, the Heavenly Dao Boon descended once more.

This time, there was no influx of spiritual energy. Only two faint Golden Lights of Merit slowly fell from the void, merging into his sea of consciousness like a light veil.

The golden light was warm and gentle. It did not enhance his cultivation, but it made his mind incomparably clear, and the surrounding heaven-and-earth spiritual energy became far more intimate and responsive.

Even with a casual breath, it felt as if he could attract more spiritual energy essence!

The divine soul within his sea of consciousness also grew more stable, reducing the risk of qi deviation.

Even more mysterious, he could faintly sense that his "luck" seemed to have grown stronger.
