The Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit's Ability: Ignoring Mental Restrictions?
Zheng Dongyang looked at Chen Lie for a while before saying, "Chen Lie, I have some news to tell you."
Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and Wu Qianqian, you should know these three people, right?
"Yes, I know her. Feng Shuangshuang is my uncle's daughter, and we are cousins."
Lu Qingchan and Wu Qianqian were old acquaintances from my hometown.
How did Professor Zheng know about them?
"These three are currently studying Outer Stars martial arts in the comprehension area of Crystal Pillar in the Second Campus square."
However, by a twist of fate, the attacker got close to the Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar, which led to the attacker destroying two of them.
"Now, Feng Shuangshuang and the other two have been detained for this reason."
"What?"
Chen Lie was taken aback, and quickly said, "My relatives and friends shouldn't be colluding with Outer Stars forces, right? Why are they being detained?"
Furthermore, they weren't students in the Genius Class, so how could they possibly comprehend the Crystal Pillar?
"I gave them special permission to study the Crystal Pillar ahead of schedule. I entrusted this matter to Shu Wen. Didn't she ask you to help?"
Chen Lie shook his head. "No."
"That girl!"
Zheng Dongyang knew that his daughter, Zheng Shuwen, had not acted according to his wishes, so he told Chen Lie the whole story.
Then he added, "You don't need to worry. This attack was probably premeditated and has nothing to do with Red Flame Planet or Shuimang Star, because most of the young martial arts geniuses on Shuimang Star and Red Flame Planet are on our territory, and they would never dare to act recklessly."
Your three relatives and friends have also suffered misfortune, but now that the Crystal Pillar has been destroyed, Principal Lei is under the most pressure, and the Administrator may have to hold him accountable personally.
After all, the importance of these twelve Crystal Pillar to Blue Star is self-evident. With two of them destroyed at once, Principal Lei may have been so enraged that he was on the verge of losing his mind.
I'll try to put in a good word for you in a few days.
Fortunately, the Crystal Pillar was lost on our Blue Star, Blue Star with a sound legal system. If it were a feudal dynasty like Red Flame Planet, let alone someone who directly influenced the attack at the scene, even the slightest connection would result in immediate execution.
Blue Star will definitely punish these three of your relatives and friends in the end, so you should be mentally prepared, after all, this has happened."
"What kind of punishment will they likely give?" Chen Lie asked.
Zheng Dongyang said, "They will likely be expelled from Blue Star University, after all, this is no ordinary matter."
I reviewed the surveillance footage. The presence of your three relatives and friends greatly likely led to the traitor covering the attacker's approach to the Crystal Pillar. Otherwise, the attacker probably wouldn't have had the chance to damage the second Crystal Pillar."
This isn't about privileges; the twelve Crystal Pillar are the foundation for the rapid advancement of martial arts on Blue Star. Without these Crystal Pillar, nine out of ten of Blue Star's top martial arts geniuses who broke through eight times their Strength Value would probably be gone.
If it were a normal matter, Blue Star University would never have investigated it further out of respect for Chen Lie. But for such a major incident, even if the son of the Blue Star Administrator were here, he would not be exempt from the punishment he deserved.
The Blue Star global power of Earth has only existed for a century, and its discipline is relatively strict. No matter how powerful or influential someone is, if they seriously damage the interests of Blue Star, they will not escape the law.
Chen Lie remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Professor Zheng, may I go to the scene and take a look?"
"What are you going to do?" Zheng Dongyang asked.
"As I mentioned before, I was once guided by a remarkable person who knows a lot and might be able to help me."
"If I can repair the Crystal Pillar, will it be enough to atone for my sins and get the authorities to show leniency towards my relatives and friends?"
Zheng Dongyang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Do you have a way to save the Crystal Pillar?"
Chen Lie shook his head. "It's not certain yet, but I'm somewhat confident."
"Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we should still give it a try. Come on, I'll take you there right now!"
Zheng Dongyang slammed his hand on the table, immediately stood up, and led Chen Lie out of the office to the plaza where the airships were parked on the Thirteenth Campus.
Chen Lie and Zheng Dongyang arrived at the square outside the Second Campus in just ten minutes by airship.
At this moment, thousands of elite guards were stationed outside the Second Campus square.
As soon as Zheng Dongyang appeared, guards came to question him.
What are you doing?
"I am Zheng Dongyang, the tutor of the Super Genius Class at Blue Star University. Don't you recognize me?"
"We are the Northwest Frontline Army under the command of Shi Yuanzheng, and we operate under two different systems from Blue Star University. The commander has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the Crystal Pillar."
"Then Principal Lei Jinglong should always be here, right? Please inform him that Zheng Dongyang has arrived."
"Please wait a moment."
After the guard finished speaking, he immediately went into the square to report.
A moment later, the guard came out of the square and said to Zheng Dongyang, "Instructor Zheng, please come in."
Zheng Dongyang grunted in agreement and said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, come inside with me!"
Chen Lie nodded and walked with Zheng Dongyang into the plaza where the twelve Crystal Pillar were located.
As soon as he entered the square, Chen Lie saw the twelve Crystal Pillar in the square, and sure enough, he found that two of the Crystal Stone had been cut in half.
Beside the Crystal Pillar, five people were talking.
Chen Lie recognized three of them: Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President; Lin Muzhi, the vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association; and Shi Yuanzheng, the Shi Yuanzheng- chief of the Northwest Army. Chen Lie had never met the other two.
As soon as he got close, Chen Lie heard Shi Yuanzheng berate Lei Jinglong.
"Old Lei, what's wrong with all of you?"
We've been working so hard on the Northwest Frontline to defend against the Exotic Beast, and you couldn't even protect a few Crystal Pillar? You're all fucking useless! All those years of martial arts training, what a waste!
"You can't even handle something this simple? How can we expect anything from Blue Star? Even a dog chained up here would be more useful than you!"
Faced with Shi Yuanzheng's accusations, Lei Jinglong knew he was in the wrong and silently endured them.
After berating Lei Jinglong, Shi Yuanzheng approached a middle-aged man and asked, "President Jing, is there any hope for this Crystal Pillar?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "I am powerless to help. Perhaps we can save it by asking a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster from Outer Stars, but it's hard to say."
"You're the president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Ranking, the number one Mental Power cultivator on Blue Star. Even you say that, so isn't it all over?"
"How could a ninth-tier Grandmaster of Divine Sense from Outer Stars be so easily persuaded?"
The middle-aged man turned his gaze to another man present and said, "President Wang, you've spent years mingling in Outer Stars and hold an important position in the Interstellar Allied Forces. Think of a way to persuade a ninth-tier Divine Sense Grandmaster to join your cause?"
President Wang simply shook his head. "A ninth-tier Divine Sense Grandmaster is equivalent to Tenth-Order Heavenly Human Grandmaster Martial Artist in Outer Stars society. How could they be so easily persuaded?"
"Then there's really no way to repair these two Crystal Pillar. Chairman Lin and I simply don't have the ability to do so."
At this moment, Lei Jinglong suddenly sighed and said, "The Administrator just called to ask me questions, but he is still planning the operation to suppress the rebel forces and cannot get away for the time being."
This attack was indeed due to my negligence. Here's what I'll do: I'll resign from my position as Blue Star University President and join the Interstellar Allied Forces to fight against the Star Bandit. I'll strive to achieve a great Military Merit so that the Canglan Star Domain can reward Blue Star with another set of Crystal Pillar, which will be a way to make up for my mistake."
"Principal Lei, you're being too naive. Do you think Military Merit in the Interstellar Allied Forces is so easy to achieve? To gain merit depends on luck, and if luck is against you, you're doomed."
Furthermore, the Crystal Pillar aren't solely earned through Military Merit. On each of the five planets of the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, only those who achieve merit on their first mission are rewarded with a set of Crystal Pillar. Even if you accumulate further Military Merit, you won't receive a second Crystal Pillar."
Lin Muzhi shook his head.
At this moment, Zheng Dongyang and Chen Lie walked over together.
"Principal Lei, Chairman Wang, Commander Shi, Chairman Jing, Chairman Lin, hello."
Upon seeing Zheng Dongyang, Lei Jinglong couldn't help but ask, "Professor Zheng, why aren't you with Director Lou overseeing the Thirteenth Campus? What are you doing here?"
"Principal Lei, as soon as I announced the attack on the Crystal Pillar, Chen Lie immediately came to me, saying that he might be able to repair the damaged Crystal Pillar, so I brought him here right away."
"Um?"
Lei Jinglong was immediately startled and quickly went to Chen Lie's side, saying, "Chen Lie, do you have a solution?"
"I can only confirm after I've seen it," Chen Lie said.
"Then go and take a look!"
Lei Jinglong hurriedly urged Chen Lie to come to the destroyed Crystal Pillar.
"Principal Lei, who is this...?" The two middle-aged men asked immediately upon seeing Chen Lie.
"President Wang, President Jing, this is Chen Lie, a student from our Blue Star University. He is a Divine Sense Master has cultivated to the level of a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit. Perhaps he really has a way."
"Oh? You've cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit?"
The way the two middle-aged men looked at Chen Lie changed instantly.
To cultivate to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is to become a Star Domain Level Mental Power Genius.
Although they held high positions in the Divine Sense Master Association and the Martial Artist Association respectively, they did not concern themselves with matters related to the cultivation of geniuses.
They had always believed that Blue Star only had one genius who had cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, but they never expected that Blue Star would have a second genius who had cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit at some point.
"Chen Lie, these are President Jing Qingtian of our Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, and President Wang Shou of our Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters."
Chen Lie's heart stirred. He instantly realized that President Wang of the Blue Star Martial Artist Association was a ninth-level Extreme Grandmaster, while Jing Qingtian beside him was a ninth-level peak Grandmaster and also an eighth-level peak Divine Sense Grandmaster.
These two are definitely top figures on Blue Star.
"Hello, Chairman Wang and Chairman Jing."
Chen Lie casually greeted Wang Shou and Jing Qingtian.
"Classmate, do you really have a way to repair the damaged Crystal Pillar?" Jing Qingtian asked.
"I'm not sure either; I'll have to see for myself," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, then come and take a look!"
Jing Qingtian immediately made way for Chen Lie.
Chen Lie arrived in front of the eighth Crystal Pillar and looked it over.
The Crystal Pillar, originally a hundred meters tall, has been cut in half and is now only thirty or forty meters high.
Chen Lie placed his hand on the surface of the Crystal Pillar and probed it with his divine sense.
In no time, he discovered that the eighth Crystal Pillar was severely damaged, with even the most basic Mental Power array being seriously destroyed.
If Chen Lie were proficient in the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> inscribed on the Crystal Pillar, he could repair the formation and fill in the missing link in the martial arts. However, he knows nothing about the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, so he is naturally powerless to do so.
After a while, Chen Lie shook his head and left the damaged eighth Crystal Pillar.
"How is it? Can it be fixed?"
Jing Qingtian, who was standing nearby, quickly asked.
"This Crystal Pillar is too badly damaged; even the internal Mental Power array is missing. It cannot be repaired."
As soon as Chen Lie finished speaking, the important figures present were immediately disappointed.
That's right. Even they, as Mental Power Grandmaster, were helpless in this problem. How could a teenager possibly solve it?
Chen Lie arrived at the first damaged Crystal Pillar, reached out to touch it, and used his Mental Power to examine the inside of the Crystal Stone.
The moment his Mental Power surged in, Chen Lie discovered that the Mental Power martial arts array inside the first Crystal Pillar was actually in perfect condition and could operate flawlessly.
Because the Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar was damaged, the spiritual energy within it rapidly dissipated, causing it to turn transparent.
"The damage to this Crystal Pillar isn't too severe; it should be salvageable."
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, the several important figures were immediately stunned.
Lei Jinglong said incredulously, "Chen Lie, you must be joking, right? The Crystal Pillar can really be saved?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "There really is hope."
Upon receiving Chen Lie's reply, the five top figures of Blue Star were immediately overjoyed.
Even if only one of the damaged Crystal Pillar can be salvaged, it would be good.
Lei Jinglong immediately assured him, "Chen Lie, as long as you can repair this first Crystal Pillar, Blue Star University will be generous with any reward you desire!"
Before Chen Lie could speak, Jing Qingtian, the president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, hurriedly asked, "The Crystal Pillar is so badly damaged, how do you plan to repair it?"
"The martial arts formation of this first Crystal Pillar is intact; it's just that the Crystal Stone is damaged, causing a loss of Mental Power. We only need to repair the surface and then infuse it with Mental Power."
"Infuse Mental Power into the Crystal Pillar?"
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, everyone present fell silent.
Inside the Crystal Pillar, there is a Mental Power restriction set up by a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster. It is impossible for anyone below the Ninth-Order Divine Sense Master to bypass the Mental Power restriction and infuse Mental Power into the Crystal Pillar.
Of the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, three possess Crystal Pillar: Red Flame Planet, Blue Star, and Wood Source Planet. Only Red Flame Planet Glimmer Star once managed to enlist the help of a Ninth-Order Grandmaster Divine Sense Master from the Red Flame Planet to replenish the Mental Power of its Crystal Pillar.
Because the elder sister of the Great Yan Emperor of Red Flame Planet was married to a prominent figure from Glimmer Star, Red Flame Planet was able to invite a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster from Glimmer Star to infuse Mental Power into its Crystal Pillar.
Despite the connection with Red Flame Planet, it was still extremely difficult and required a great deal of effort to persuade that Ninth-Order Grandmaster.
Without the connection to Crimson Flame Star, it would be virtually impossible for Blue Star to persuade a Grandmaster of Ninth-Order Divine Sense to join them.
A single Crystal Pillar can only be comprehended a maximum of 20,000 times. Therefore, from the very beginning, Blue Star University restricted only students in the Genius Class to comprehending the Crystal Pillar. Even among Genius Class students, each person can only comprehend each Crystal Pillar three times.
Lei Jinglong said, "Chen Lie, do you not know that infusing Mental Power into Crystal Pillar is a major challenge for the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association? On Blue Star, no one can bypass the Mental Restriction of Mental Power Grandmaster and directly replenish Mental Power into Crystal Pillar."
"To persuade Mental Power Grandmaster of Outer Stars spiritual power is extremely difficult, almost impossible."
"I know."
Chen Lie nodded and continued, "You all say that my Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is incomplete, so I don't have the abilities that Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit should have."
However, I recently discovered that my Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit actually possesses the abilities that Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit should have. The ability of my Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is that it can ignore any Mental Power restrictions.
Even Mental Power restriction set by Ninth-Order Divine Sense Master can be ignored by me.
Therefore, I have the ability to bypass the Mental Power restrictions within the Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar and directly replenish its Mental Power."
"What? Your Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ability allows you to ignore any Mental Power restrictions?"
The president and vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, Jing Qingtian and Lin Muzhi, were both shocked.
