The Cost of Accelerated Cultivation
Aboard the True Dragon starship in the Crimson Sun Star System, Heavenly Demon Star Domain.
Liang Ji sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, starry light swirling around his entire body to manifest the projection of his Natal Star.
At this moment, his Natal Star projection was more than twice as large as it had been in the past, all of it gained through accelerating the development and growth of his Natal Star over these years.
Brilliant starlight streamed out from this Natal Star projection, flowing into his body and sea of consciousness, constantly refining, nurturing, and strengthening his physique, mana, and Primordial Spirit.
Within the starlight bloomed by the Natal Star projection, one could even faintly see the figures of various ghosts, Earth Deities, and heavenly gods manifesting, chanting various divine decrees and incantations, fusing all manner of divine light into the starlight and pouring it into Liang Ji's body and sea of consciousness, likewise blessing, refining, and enhancing his physique, mana, and Primordial Spirit.
In addition, there were also the figures of various Dragon Beast Elemental Spirits, as well as the figures of various vassal clans performing sacrifices and prayers.
The figures of the three Star Palace Infusions—the Deification List, Myriad Laws Furnace, and Bloodline Atlas—were also faintly manifest.
The cultivation of the Star Lord orthodoxy had always followed two paths simultaneously: one was the path of continuously developing and expanding the Natal Star and its vassals, and the other was the Star Lord's own path of cultivation.
Liang Ji's sixty-year seclusion and accelerated cultivation naturally encompassed far more than just the accelerated growth and development of his Natal Star.
The cultivation of his own sixth-tier Primordial Spirit realm likewise grew and expanded continuously along with the growth and expansion of the Natal Star.
