Primordial Spirit Aperture
After completing the cultivation of the three apertures—Earth, Spirit, and Mortal—only three or four hours had passed. Chen Lie did not wait in the Void Heaven Pagoda Void Heaven Pagoda but instead descended from the ninth floor.
When Chen Lie arrived at the third level of the Void Heaven Pagoda, where many Heaven Aperture Stage, he met Qiao Xuanxi.
Seeing Chen Lie come down from the fourth floor, Qiao Xuanxi couldn't help but ask, "You went up to the fourth floor?"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement.
"The best time to break through from the Heaven Aperture Stage to the Primordial Aperture is on the third level of the Void Heaven Pagoda; it's not necessarily true that the higher the level, the better."
"I see!"
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Seeing Chen Lie about to leave, Qiao Xuanxi couldn't help but ask, "Are you going down?"
"I've gained some insights into martial arts and need to go out and find a Cultivation Room to practice."
"What do you mean? You want to leave the Void Heaven Pagoda? The Void Heaven Pagoda isn't a place you can just enter and leave at will. Once you leave, you can't come back. Even if you have some insights into martial arts, you should cherish this opportunity to break through."
"No need, I can come in again tomorrow. I won't go back with you guys, I'm leaving now!"
Chen Lie shook his hand and walked directly down to the third floor of the Void Heaven Pagoda.
"What a waste!"
Qiao Xuanxi shook her head, no longer caring about anything.
People from barren planets, upon entering Starry Sky University, directly receive two spots in the Void Heaven Pagoda, so naturally they don't cherish them.
They probably have no idea how precious the slots for the Void Heaven Pagoda are.
On the other side, Chen Lie left the Void Heaven Pagoda, and the tearing pain in his skin instantly disappeared.
"Huh? Why are people coming out now?"
Upon seeing Chen Lie emerge from the Void Heaven Pagoda, the Void Heaven Pagoda steward standing guard outside immediately asked, "Young man, have you successfully broken through to the next realm?"
"Not yet!"
"Then why did you come out?"
Something came up unexpectedly!
The elderly deacon of the Void Heaven Pagoda watched Chen Lie leave and shook his head, saying, "Young people these days really lack reverence for the quotas of the Void Heaven Pagoda, unaware that the Void Heaven Force is finite."
Chen Lie left the Void Heaven Pagoda and arrived at the Central Campus.
"The most urgent task now is to break through to the Heaven Aperture Stage as soon as possible."
"I've only been at the Earth Aperture Stage for a few days now. If I want to break through to the Heaven Aperture Stage immediately and smoothly, I need the assistance of precious resources."
Chen Lie recalled that on the day of freshman registration, his mentor Zhou Yixi introduced the environment of Starry Sky University. Each campus had a place that sold martial arts resources and martial arts techniques. Among them, the Heaven Campus and the Central Campus had the most complete range of products.
Chen Lie summoned an airship using his Communication Bracelet, and then boarded the airship to the martial arts sales hall in the Central Campus.
Upon arriving at the martial arts merchandise sales hall, Chen Lie saw the bustling scene and instantly realized just how large the sales hall of the Central Campus was.
The martial arts sales hall is divided into many categories, including the ' True Qi Martial Arts Cultivation Resource Area', ' Blood-Qi Martial Way Cultivation Resource Area', ' Mental Power Cultivation Resource Area', 'Martial Arts Techniques Area', 'Divine Weapon Materials Area', and so on. Each category has a large area.
"I should go check out the Blood-Qi Martial Way training resource area."
Chen Lie didn't waste any time and followed the directions directly to the ' Blood-Qi Martial Way Cultivation Resource Area'.
As soon as he turned around, Chen Lie heard a familiar voice.
"Junior Chen, is that you?"
Chen Lie turned around and saw that the person who called out to him was Tang Yan'er. At this time, Tang Yan'er was accompanied by a woman of similar age.
Tang Yan'er is also a student from East River Province who was admitted to Starry Sky University. She is Tang Jiu'er's older sister.
"It really is you!"
Tang Yan'er walked up.
Hello, Senior Tang.
Tang Yan'er nodded slightly. "You should have just registered a few days ago, right? Shouldn't you be completing the elimination tasks at Starry Sky University at this time?"
"You mean the mission to hunt Wild Beast? I've already completed it," Chen Liedao.
"Oh, that's not surprising. That round of elimination was no challenge for you at all."
At this moment, the girl next to Tang Yan'er said, "Yan'er, who is this...?"
"I almost forgot to introduce him. This is a junior from my Blue Star. He's from the same province as me, and his name is Chen Lie. He's the number one Blood-Qi Realm cultivator in our Eastern Star Region."
After introducing Chen Lie to the woman, Tang Yan'er Chen Liedao, "Junior Brother Chen, this is my friend Yi Kehan. She is from Jurong Star in the Western Star Region."
Upon hearing Tang Yan'er's introduction, Yi Kehan from Jurong Star exclaimed in surprise, "So you're the number one in the Eastern Star Region?"
Your illustrious name resounds throughout our Four-Sided Star Domain. It was because of you that Blue Star seized the position of Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region."
"You flatter me!"
"I'm not exaggerating at all. I heard that you broke through during the Permanent Councilor Star Competition in the Eastern Star Region. You were able to suppress First-Order Martial Artist in the Heaven Aperture Stage Heaven Aperture Stage."
"I'm afraid your strength is not much weaker than ours," Yi Kehan said.
"Let's not talk about that, Junior Chen. I remember you freshmen should be at the Earth First Campus right now. Why are you at the Central Campus?" Tang Yan'er asked.
Chen Liedao, "It's nothing, I just need it for cultivation, so I came here to buy some rare and precious Spirit Medicine."
"Oh? So you should be preparing the resources you need to Ranked Martial Artist now, right?"
"I'm quite familiar with this place, I can show you around!" Tang Yan'er said.
"Then I'll trouble you. However, what I need is not the resources for Ranked Martial Artist, but special Spirit Medicine herbs and rare treasures that can nourish the Earth Aperture and help break through to the Heaven Aperture," Chen Liedao.
Tang Yan'er asked curiously, "Breaking through to the Heaven Aperture? Aren't you already at the Heaven Aperture Stage?"
Chen Lie didn't explain, but said, "I bought it for a friend."
"Oh, so you actually took the initiative to buy resources for me? Your friend must be someone special." Tang Yan'er said, "Come with me, I know where you need it."
Chen Lie nodded and went to the ' Blood-Qi Martial Way Resource Area' with Tang Yan'er.
After walking past rows of counters, Tang Yan'er led Chen Lie to a special counter.
"Junior Brother Chen, the Spirit Medicine you seek to nourish your Earth Aperture is right here."
The most effective one is this special Spirit Medicine called ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow,' but it's not cheap; it requires 60,000 Credit.
As soon as she arrived, Tang Yan'er went to the counter and began to introduce the products to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie glanced at the description of the ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow ' and found that this Spirit Medicine herb was indeed a top- Spirit Medicine one for nourishing the Earth Aperture. So he immediately nodded. "Okay, I'll take this ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow '!"
Chen Lie directly had the staff behind the counter retrieve the ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow ' and used his Star Card to swipe out 60,000 Credit.
His original 160,000 Credit Credit was reduced to 100,000.
Tang Yan'er asked, somewhat puzzled, "Junior Chen, you've only been here a few days and you already have so many Credit?"
"Didn't they say Credit transfers weren't allowed three months before new student registration? I was already prepared to pay for it for you."
"The Credit are naturally earned by hunting Wild Beast," Chen Liedao.
"You earned 60,000 Credit in just a few days by hunting Wild Beast?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, no problem. With your abilities, it's not impossible." Tang Yan'er shook her head.
Chen Lie then looked at the Spirit Medicine needed for opening the meridians.
He walked past several counters and suddenly saw a peculiar Martial Dao Rare Treasure.
"The Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo is a rare, Third-Tier Martial Dao Rare Treasures, generally used for breaking through the Heaven Aperture to the Primordial Aperture."
Price: 70,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, or 60,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins + 10,000 Credit.
Chen Lie immediately pointed to the Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo in the display case and said, "Give me this Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo, I want it!"
Just as the staff were about to take out the Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo, Tang Yan'er suddenly said, "Wait!"
Then, she Chen Liedao, "Junior Brother Chen, didn't you want rare and precious Spirit Medicine for breaking through from the Earth Aperture to the Heaven Aperture? This is for breaking through from the Heaven Aperture Stage to the Primordial Aperture!"
"It's alright, there's no difference between the Heaven Aperture and the Primordial Aperture. Using this Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo to break through the Primordial Aperture will be even more effective."
"Hey junior, why haven't you changed your extravagant spending habits? Why insist on using expensive rare items when you can use cheaper ones?"
Even if you think the rare treasures that open up your Primordial Aperture (Primordial Aperture) are more effective, I can help you find out that things sold at Starry Sky University are at least 30% more expensive than outside.
"This Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo is indeed rare, but if you give me two days, even if I can't find a second Spirit- Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo, I can find you a rare and precious Spirit Medicine with comparable effects, and at most I can save you 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins." Tang Yan'er said.
"I appreciate your kind offer, but I need it urgently and can't wait." Chen Lie shook his head.
"Can't you even wait two days?" Tang Yan'er asked.
Not even for one day!
"You, you can't even wait a day or two, you insist on spending an extra 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."
I know you must have amassed a lot of wealth by now and don't think much of this little bit of money. But when you Ranked Martial Artist and need to use Yuan Stone to cultivate your True Qi and spiritual objects to cultivate your Attribute True Qi, you'll realize that your savings are nothing. You'll definitely regret your current extravagant spending then."
Tang Yan'er shook her head and sighed.
Yi Kehan, standing beside her, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yan'er, stop nagging. What genius doesn't have a bit of arrogance? Maybe when your junior's talent shines, he'll get the attention of some high-ranking official at Starry Sky University and won't lack martial arts resources?"
Tang Yan'er knew she couldn't persuade Chen Lie anymore, so she simply gave up.
There's no way to persuade someone about something like this. Before attending Starry Sky University, she considered herself a genius and didn't think she would have to be so frugal and stingy when buying martial arts resources in the future, let alone a martial arts genius like Chen Lie.
You don't know how difficult something is until you experience it yourself; some things you have to go through to understand how difficult they are.
Chen Lie paid 60,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins and 10,000 Credit to purchase this ' Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo '.
After the purchase, Chen Lie's Star Card still had 270,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, 90,000 Credit, and 1.5 million Canglan Coin remaining. Compared to other students in the same year at Starry Sky University, Chen Lie's wealth was still second to none.
Having secured the two much-needed resources, Chen Lie immediately bid farewell to Tang Yan'er.
Chen Lie knew what Tang Yan'er was thinking. Normally, Chen Lie would be willing to wait a day or two to save 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, but now time was of the essence. He needed to break through to the Heaven Aperture Stage before tomorrow, so he couldn't wait.
Chen Lie found a Cultivation Room in the Central Campus, carrying two rare Spirit Medicine, and entered the Cultivation Room.
Upon arriving at the Cultivation Room, Chen Lie swallowed the ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow ' whole, then circulated the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> to refine the power of the ' Aperture-Nourishing Blood Crow ' and nourish the Earth Aperture.
After cultivating in this way for more than six hours, Chen Lie's third acupoint, the Earth Aperture, was fully nourished, and he gradually developed the foundation to break through to the Heaven Aperture.
In fact, with Chen Lie's accumulated foundation, he could easily break through to the Divine Aperture realm. However, what he sought was to refine each realm to perfection, meticulously polish each one, and then achieve a natural breakthrough.
Although he needed to break through to the Heaven Aperture Stage immediately this time, Chen Lie was unwilling to skip the Earth Aperture Stage stage cultivation.
After completing his cultivation of the Earth Aperture, Chen Lie began to attempt to break through to the Heaven Aperture.
He activated the acupoint-opening method of his <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> to its fullest extent, and golden qi and blood manifested outwards, preparing to break through to the Heaven Aperture.
The key to breaking through acupoints is to go all out in one go. When Chen Lie was at the Small Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, he had reached 15.99 times the Strength Value and had undergone 15 Blood Tempering. Therefore, breaking through the Heaven Aperture was easy for him and there was no difficulty at all.
Chen Lie consumed the ' Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo Bamboo' again, quickly refining its energy.
The effect of the Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo is to help Martial Artist increase their success rate in breaking through to the Heaven Aperture, but in Chen Lie's case, it simply allows him to break through smoothly and effortlessly without any impact on his body. In this way, Chen Lie no longer needs to nurture or cultivate a second time during the Heaven Aperture Stage, and can directly fuse and unify it with the three apertures of the Mortal Spirit Earth.
As the power of the ' Spirit-Charging Cloud Bamboo ' dissipated, Chen Lie only needed to make one attempt before his fourth Heaven Aperture was opened with a "boom." There was no major commotion; he simply reached this realm naturally.
Chen Lie's golden blood rainbow light surged instantly, and his Earth Second Campus suddenly appeared, like two dragons, constantly swallowing and exhaling blood and qi.
"The Heaven Aperture Stage has been achieved!"
Chen Lie didn't even open his eyes before starting his cultivation to solidify his Heaven Aperture Stage.
A night passed, Chen Lie did not return to the First Campus. Instead, he spent the entire night cultivating in the Cultivation Room of the Central Campus.
The next day, Chen Lie, who Heaven Aperture Stage, left the Cultivation Room early and headed to the Void Heaven Pagoda.
This time was different from yesterday. The steward of the Void Heaven Pagoda did not make anyone wait outside. As soon as the time came, he let them into the Void Heaven Pagoda.
Chen Lie entered the Void Heaven Pagoda Void Heaven Pagoda using the second key and went directly to the ninth floor.
Upon reaching the ninth level of the Void Heaven Pagoda, Chen Lie once again felt the Void Heaven Demon Force that nearly tore his skin apart.
Chen Lie his mind and began to fully absorb the Void Heaven Demon Force to refine the Heaven Aperture Stage.
The dense Void Heaven Demon Force was drawn in by Chen Lie, instantly forming an invisible storm.
Under the refinement of abundant Void Heaven Demon Force, Chen Lie's four orifices—spirit, earth, and heaven—all returned to emptiness.
After the four apertures were melted down and unified, Chen Lie began to try to open the fifth aperture, the Primordial Aperture.
With the blessing of the Void Heaven Demon Force, Chen Lie's Primordial Aperture gradually revealed itself and merged with the four apertures of the Mortal Spirit Earth Heaven that had been melted down.
A brand new Divine Aperture, the Primordial Spirit Aperture, is gradually taking shape.
At the same time, the density of the Void Heaven Demon Force in the entire Void Heaven Pagoda, from the first to the ninth floor, instantly decreased and concentrated entirely on Chen Lie.
Cultivating the Primordial Spirit Aperture requires an enormous amount of Void Heaven Demon Force; otherwise, Taia Star Province, one of the ten star provinces of the Central Galactic Empire, would have had so many people who have successfully cultivated the Primordial Spirit Aperture.
