Four Divine Apertures

Chu Ling'er used her divine sense to examine herself, and asked, "Is it ready? But why do I feel that my Consciousness Spirit hasn't taken shape yet?"

"It's right that it's not fully formed yet, because you haven't entered the Divine Sense Master level. I can use my Mental Power to guide you in cultivating your Consciousness Spirit, but I can't help you break through."

"With your spiritual strength, even if you reach the Divine Sense Master level, you might not be able to cultivate your Consciousness Spirit into a complete form. You'll need to wait until the mid-to-late stage of the first level to be safe," Chen Lie said.

"This Consciousness Spirit seems somewhat different from the ' Azure Water Chi Dragon ' that I've always wanted to cultivate."

"Don't worry, the Consciousness Spirit I helped you cultivate is no weaker than the Azure Water Chi Dragon you mentioned."

"So what is its special ability as Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit? Is it the same as the Azure Water Chi Dragon? The Azure Water Chi Dragon's special ability is extremely powerful; it belongs to the water element and can divide and disintegrate external Mental Power attacks," Chu Ling'er asked.

Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ranked within the top 30 of the Canglan Star Domain, all possess the basic ability to enlighten and clarify the mind, and can generally help Divine Sense Master achieve the rank of Tenth-Stage Martial Artist.

However, the ability to differentiate and disintegrate external Mental Power is extremely rare. It would be a great pity if it were lost due to changes in Consciousness Spirit.

Chen Lie said, "This Consciousness Spirit shouldn't have this ability."

"No?"

Chu Ling'er felt a pang of disappointment. It seemed that the Consciousness Spirit cultivated through entrusted means was truly inferior to that cultivated by herself.

"However, the Consciousness Spirit I helped you cultivate is far more powerful than any method of dividing or disintegrating Mental Power!"

Chu Ling'er's eyes lit up. "Then what is its ability?"

"Amplified Mental Power attack."

"Amplify Mental Power? But isn't that the most basic ability of all Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit?"

"How much can the other Consciousness Spirit amplify your abilities? The Consciousness Spirit I help you cultivate can amplify your mental attacks by more than 20 times!"

"What? Amplifies Mental Power attacks by 20 times? How is that possible?" Chu Ling'er was immediately puzzled.

"A 20-fold increase in Mental Power is definitely not wrong!" Chen Lie said.

He used the special abilities of the first Star God of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky, ' Jing Wood Tapir ', to help Chu Ling'er cultivate her Consciousness Sea World.

The ability of Jing Wood Tapir is to sharpen Mental Power and amplify Mental Power attacks by more than thirty times. Chen Lie used the cultivation method of the Jing Wood Tapir Star God to help Chu Ling'er cultivate her Consciousness Spirit. Even though their foundations in their Sea of Consciousness were different, they could still increase their Mental Power attacks by 20 times.

"But... even the Dark Ghost Dragon, ranked first among the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook, only has a 16-22 times increase in Mental Power attack."

If I reach 20 times, wouldn't I be on the same level as the Dark Ghost Dragon?

"I've experienced the Dark Ghost Dragon firsthand. Its Mental Power amplification is close to 30 times, unlike what you said, which only amplifies it by 16 to 22 times."

"But that's what it says in the Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook..."

"The Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook is just that—an Illustrated Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook of Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook. The person who compiled it does not possess any of the various Consciousness Spirit."

Chu Ling'er thought about it and agreed. In the Canglan Star Domain's Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking, Consciousness Spirit outside the top ten are not uncommon, so the records should be more accurate. However, Consciousness Spirit within the top ten are not so easy to see, and are most likely just the compilers' conjectures.

"Brother Chen, can my Consciousness Spirit really amplify Mental Power attacks twentyfold?" Chu Ling'er asked.

"Don't worry, it will be at least 20 times more. As for the exact amount, that depends on your own performance."

Chu Ling'er remembered that Wenren, one of the ten most outstanding students at Starry Sky University and Wenren student in the Department of the Mental Power Department, cultivated the ' Devouring Heaven Taotie ', which ranked eleventh on the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking, and only amplified Mental Power by 19 times. Yet she herself could achieve 20 times. In terms of Mental Power attack amplification, wasn't she even stronger than the eleventh-ranked Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit?

Although the true ability of the ' Devouring Heaven Taotie ' is to devour.

"I think the ability to amplify Mental Power attacks is more practical than your ability to disintegrate Mental Power, right?" Chen Liedao.

"Of course! You're amazing, Brother Chen! I'll contact my grandfather right away and raise 30,000 Spirit Nourishing Flower!"

Chu Ling'er was overjoyed. This meant that her Consciousness Spirit was much stronger than the original Azure Water Chi Dragon!

"I'm returning to Blue Star tomorrow. Once you've collected Spirit Nourishing Flower, send them directly to Blue Star for me."

"Okay, I'll send it over as soon as possible." Chu Ling'er nodded emphatically.

After saying these words, Chu Ling'er opened the door to the Cultivation Room.

It turned out that it was already the second day and dawn.

Before she knew it, she had been cultivating all night.

"By the way, Brother Chen, you just broke through to the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm on the battlefield yesterday, right?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement. Even if he hadn't said it, Chu Ling'er could have guessed it, so Chen Lie directly admitted it.

"Brother Chen, your combat strength is truly impressive. I wonder if anyone on Canglong Star can rival yours?"

For a Mortal Aperture Stage cultivator to easily defeat a Heaven Aperture Stage Ranked Martial Artist the initial stage, that's a leap across countless realms. As Upper Three Stars in the Canglan Star Domain, Canglong Star Venerable might have someone at the same realm who could match Chen Lie's combat strength, but there shouldn't be anyone stronger than Chen Lie.

"You just finished a day of fighting yesterday, and today you spent the whole night helping to cultivate your Consciousness Spirit."

The Divine Martial Hall has a special dining hall where I remember my classmate kept a three-thousand-year-old spiritual Spirit Medicine that Divine Aperture.

"You've just broken through the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm and transcended the Mortal Aperture. You'll definitely be able to cultivate the Divine Aperture eventually. I'll ask my classmate to let me borrow the Spirit Medicine she keeps here and have the Dining Workshop prepare a martial arts meal for you."

"Oh? Spirit Medicine for Divine Aperture? I remember that Twelvefold Strength Value to break through the shackles of the Divine Aperture. Do you have any classmates with Twelvefold Strength Value?" Chen Lie asked.

"No, Brother Chen, you are unaware of this. There is a Void Heaven Pagoda in the inner courtyard of Starry Sky University. Anyone with eleven times the Strength Value who has broken through the Primordial Aperture can enter the Void Heaven Pagoda Void Heaven Pagoda cultivate and use its power to potentially break through the Divine Aperture."

"There's such a magical thing?"

"Yes, the Void Heaven Pagoda, there is only one in the Canglan Star Domain. Legend has it that it was taken from the Otherworldly Demons by a Star Seeker two hundred years ago when he was fighting against Otherworldly Demons. It is very magical."

Many powerful figures, geniuses, or scions of prominent families in the Ten-Star Alliance do not attend Starry Sky University because they can receive training on their own planet that is in no way inferior to that of Starry Sky University.

Without exception, all of these people would come to the Void Heaven Pagoda Void Heaven Pagoda cultivate when they reached the end of their Blood-Qi Stage.

"I've heard that there are different levels within the Divine Aperture Stage. Even geniuses with Twelvefold Strength Value hope to break through their limits at this stage," Chu Ling'er said.

Chen Lie hadn't expected that Starry Sky University would have a method to open up the Divine Aperture with eleven times the Strength Value.

The Divine Aperture are divided into Lower Divine Aperture, Middle Divine Aperture, and Upper Divine Aperture.

Even the final Life Aperture is called the Life Divine Aperture.

The Central Galactic Empire refers to the cultivation of the Divine Aperture Stage as the ' Four Divine Apertures '.

Twelvefold Strength Value can break through the Lower Divine Aperture, Strength Value thirteen times greater than normal can break through the Middle Divine Aperture, and Strength Value fourteen times greater than normal can break through the Upper Divine Aperture.

With fifteen times the Strength Value, one can break through the Life Divine Aperture, also known as the Life Aperture.

Breaking through the Life Divine Aperture has the meaning of ' Defying Heaven and Changing Fate '. This realm is the Third Ultimate Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage.

As Chu Ling'er explained, she used her Communication Bracelet to initiate a call to her classmate.

"Sheng Ya, I am Chu Ling'er."

The communication bracelet popped up a projection, in which a beautiful and charming girl waved to Chu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, hello! Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I remember you mentioned last time that you had a 3,000-year-old Spirit Medicine for nourishing the Divine Aperture stored at the Divine Martial Hall. Could I borrow it for a moment?"

Don't worry, I'll return it to you quickly; it won't interfere with your cultivation.

"What's the big deal? Just take it if you need it. I'll talk to the manager of the Dining Workshop, and you can get it anytime."

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. However, what are you using this kind of Spirit Medicine for right now? I remember your Strength Value is less than 11 times your normal level, and you've only Blood Tempering three or four times. You're still quite a distance from meeting the standards for using Spirit Medicine."

"I need to entertain a friend... I'm at the Divine Martial Hall right now, please let them know as soon as possible."

"You're at the Divine Martial Hall? I'm here too. Let's meet in the dining hall, and I'll speak to the manager in person!"

"Oh well!"

Chu Ling'er ended the communication. Although she was somewhat reluctant for her classmate Lu Shengya to come into contact with Chen Lie and did not want to share this opportunity, she thought again that Lu Shengya did not know that Chen Lie was a disciple trained by a big shot in the Central Galactic Empire. In Lu Shengya's eyes, Chen Lie was just a person from a barren planet in Fringe Star Domain.

As proud as she is, she would only look down on Chen Lie, which destined her to miss out on this opportunity that belonged only to her.

The first time I was at Starry Sky University, if Chen Lie hadn't used force to control me, I wouldn't have wasted time with someone from a barren planet in a Fringe Star Domain.

"Brother Chen, would you like to come with me to the dining hall?"

Chen Lie nodded and went to the dining hall with Chu Ling'er.

Upon arriving at the dining hall of the Divine Martial Hall, Lu Shengya, with her hair styled in a drooping cloud bun, came out to greet Chu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, you've arrived? I already instructed the steward to prepare the Spirit Medicine into a martial arts meal for you."

Chu Ling'er said, "Yes, make it into a single-serving martial arts meal and send it to a private room."

"You'd like to dine here? Let's go together then, I'll arrange a private room!"

"Oh well!"

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ling'er finally agreed.

"By the way, where's the friend you're entertaining? It wouldn't happen to be your sworn brother, would it?"

Lu Shengya gave Chen Lie a meaningful look.

"Yes!"

Lu Shengya chuckled, secretly thinking that Chu Ling'er was foolish.

How precious are the Spirit Medicine that nourish the Divine Aperture? On Canglong Star, even several million Canglong Currency might not be enough to buy one. The worst-case scenario is that you might need them urgently but not be able to get them.

If she hadn't known Chu Ling'er's family background and that Chu Ling'er was someone who, like herself, had passed the Star Camphor Stele Examination, she would never have lent out the Spirit Medicine so easily.

Chu Ling'er, that fool! She was sold out and even got paid back! She actually gave away such a precious Spirit Medicine. What an idiot!

However, she couldn't try to dissuade him, otherwise she would be seen as reluctant to lend the Spirit Medicine, which wouldn't be good.

"Ling'er, you are truly incredibly devoted to your elder brother. You even gave away such a rare Spirit Medicine without hesitation."

"We're all classmates, so I won't hide it from you. Actually, Brother Chen isn't my sworn brother; he's just a... friend."

"Oh, I see."

Lu Shengya had long known that someone from a Fringe Star Domain could not possibly have a brotherly relationship with Chu Ling'er.

"Brother Chen, this is my classmate from Starry Sky University, Lu Shengya."

She is from Canglong Star Canglong Continent Star.

After the introductions, Chu Ling'er said to Lu Shengya, "This is my friend, Chen Lie, Blue Star native from the Eastern Star Region."

Lu Shengya simply nodded slightly without replying. Instead, she instructed the staff of the Divine Martial Hall to arrange a private room and invited Chu Ling'er and Chen Lie inside.

"Let's eat here. I'll have the kitchen staff bring over the martial arts meal!"

Upon arriving at the private room, Lu Shengya invited Chu Ling'er and Chen Lie to sit down and immediately ordered the dishes to be served.

Before long, one martial arts meal after another was brought in.

At the end of the martial arts meal, the three-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine that nourishes the Divine Aperture was also served.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ling'er immediately waved and said, "Put this martial arts meal here!"

The person serving the meal followed Chu Ling'er's instructions and placed the martial arts meal in front of Chen Lie.

"Brother Chen, this is Spirit Medicine martial arts meal to nourish the Divine Aperture. Quickly check its effects!"

Chen Lie picked up his food and began to eat without saying a word.

Chu Ling'er, on the other hand, ate the ordinary martial arts meal next to her.

Seeing this, Lu Shengya couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Are there really such fools in the world? Giving others the best while only using ordinary food themselves.

Lu Shengya couldn't quite understand Chu Ling'er's thoughts. She thought that even if she met someone she liked one day, she wouldn't go to such lengths.

Although she disapproved of such things, she knew it was not something she could interfere with.

Chen Lie ate his martial arts meal in silence.

It must be said that this kind of Spirit Medicine that nourishes the Divine Aperture is indeed quite useful for cultivation during the Aperture Refining Stage.

He had broken through the Mortal Aperture, and originally he would have needed some more time to settle down before he could break through to the Spirit Aperture. However, after eating this martial arts meal, he realized that he could directly break through to the Spirit Aperture without any settling down.

Before long, Chen Lie had finished the entire Spirit Medicine Meal.

Then, Chen Lie stood up and said, "I'm done eating, I'm leaving."

"Shall I see you off?"

"No need, I know the way. Let's get the matter of the Spirit Nourishing Flower settled as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I'll contact my grandfather right away!"

Chen Lie grunted in agreement and left the room.

Seeing Chen Lie leave, Lu Shengya couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, what is this Spirit Nourishing Flower?"

"Nothing!"

Chu Ling'er shook her head and said, "Sheng Ya, please eat quickly. I would like to borrow the Consciousness Spirit analysis equipment from your Divine Martial Hall to analyze my Consciousness Spirit."

"You've mastered the Consciousness Spirit?" Lu Shengya exclaimed in surprise.

"I wouldn't say I've mastered it, because my cultivation level hasn't reached that point yet; it's more like I'm on the verge of success," Chu Ling'er said.

"Your Mental Power has improved so quickly!" Lu Shengya exclaimed, then nodded and said, "I'm almost there too, so I'll accompany you to analyze your Consciousness Spirit."

I'm also very curious about just how powerful the top thirty on the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking Consciousness Spirit."
