Huo Hai sat quietly on the ground, a keen light flashing in his eyes. His hands rapidly formed one rune after another. Counting carefully, he formed a full three thousand hand seals, precisely matching the total number of spirit veins in his body.
The Stellar Thread Method required all three thousand hand seals to be completed within one minute. An ordinary person truly could not have managed it. Fortunately, Huo Hai was now powerful, and both his spiritual power and his body met the requirements. His mental power was exceptionally strong as well. For anyone else, completing three thousand hand seals in such a short time would have been anything but easy.
This was the crucial first step in cultivating the Stellar Thread Method. Huo Hai tried several times before finally succeeding. As he formed the hand seals, his spiritual power and spirit veins gradually began to vibrate. The stellar spiritual power within his body began condensing in a strange fashion.
A moment later, a crystalline, translucent thread appeared in Huo Hai's hand. He exhaled, maintaining the thread while pulling hard on it with his hands. In the end, even using almost all his strength, he could not snap it.
Its toughness was already nearly on par with the Crimson Spider's spider silk. Huo Hai smiled faintly. Next came the first step. He closed his eyes, and the Stellar Thread in his hand gradually sank into the spirit source in his chest. With the spirit source at its center, it spread little by little. With every bit of progress, the Stellar Thread branched outward, eventually merging completely into his spirit veins.
Huo Hai could not yet sense any specific changes. Perhaps he would have to wait until his Stellar Threads reached the minor accomplishment stage before he could feel anything.
