Breakthrough: Star Traveller Tier 3

After arriving at Mine No. 5, Qi Yuan had to settle the several hundred Lei Yuan tribesmen while also testing the system's functions. He had not even had time to look over the Guard-exclusive cultivation technique he had just obtained.

Now that everything had been arranged, he could finally calm down and study it properly.

He operated the armguard screen of his Intelligent Optical Computer, and the materials Old Wu had sent him quickly opened.

There was a great deal of content inside. Though it was called a cultivation technique, it also included numerous Combat Secret Techniques and practical skills. There were textual explanations as well as accompanying video recordings, densely filling the entire screen.

"This is way too tiring to look through."

Qi Yuan could not help but get a headache as he looked at the various files crammed across the screen.

"Why hadn't that Lord of Lei Bao Star with mines at home thought to set up Virtual Universe accounts for his subordinates? It'd be so much more convenient in the Virtual Universe."

Qi Yuan naturally yearned for the nearly omnipotent Virtual Universe from the original story.

However, the Lei Yuan Star where he had originally lived had yet to connect with the greater civilization of the universe, so he had never opened an account with the Virtual Universe Company.

Later, he had been captured and sold by a Slave Organization, leaving him even less opportunity to come into contact with something so high-end.

Even now that he had arrived on Lei Bao Star, that Lord of Lei Bao Star with mines at home seemed rather good to his subordinates. He had casually given away a Tier 2 Force Battle Blade worth tens of millions of Black Dragon Coins, yet he had never opened a nameless account for Qi Yuan, something that could be done for barely a thousand coins.

All he could say was that, in any world, slaves had no right to talk about human rights.

He gave you a Force Battle Blade because you could use it to kill enemies for him. No matter how expensive it was, he was willing to pay.

But something as dispensable as a Virtual Universe account? Whether you got one or not depended entirely on the master's mood.

Rather than entrusting his fate to someone else's mercy, he might as well work harder himself!

"I didn't transmigrate just to come here and work myself to the bone for you bastards!"

To change all this, there was only one way: cultivate! Grow stronger!

Qi Yuan reined in his thoughts and endured his headache as he began sorting through the mountain of files Old Wu had sent him.

Time passed bit by bit. What had initially seemed somewhat tedious gradually drew Qi Yuan in without him realizing it.

Not until a day later did he finally finish roughly organizing the materials Old Wu had sent him.

Although there was a lot of content, most of it consisted of accompanying video recordings. The true core was a cultivation technique called "Nine Radiance."

"'Nine Radiance' was created by the Nine Radiance Realm Master. It includes the energy cultivation method 'Nine Radiance Body Tempering' and the accompanying Combat Secret Technique, 'Nine Radiance Sky Blade.'"

Nine Radiance Body Tempering taught one how to accelerate the absorption of cosmic energy through training, refining Gene Primary Energy. It was somewhat similar to the Guidance Technique Luo Feng had cultivated when he first became a warrior, but its contents were far more profound.

Nine Radiance Sky Blade, meanwhile, was a secret technique for increasing force amplitude.

The complete Nine Radiance Sky Blade had thirty-three levels. Each level mastered could increase one's force amplitude by three times.

Mastering all thirty-three levels would allow one to reach a terrifying ninety-ninefold force output, leaving only a hair's breadth from the requirements for breaking through to the Immortal level.

However, Qi Yuan currently possessed only the cultivation methods for its first twelve levels.

"Let's try this Nine Radiance Body Tempering first!"

Qi Yuan rose and walked to the center of the temporary cave dwelling, where he planted his feet. Then he began recalling the contents he had just read.

Nine Radiance Body Tempering contained nine sets of eighty-one special movements, each capable of training different parts of the body.

When practicing these eighty-one special movements, one needed to use Gene Primary Energy as an aid, stimulating the body's cells into a state similar to "overload."

While tempering the cells, it would also thoroughly squeeze out the energy within every cell.

Once the training was complete, Gene Primary Energy and the energy within the body's cells would be greatly depleted, leaving the body feeling incomparably "hungry."

If one then absorbed cosmic energy to cultivate, the speed would be much faster.

"Let's give it a try~"

Qi Yuan took a deep breath, then slowly raised his hands from his dantian, like an old ape stretching its arms to hold up the heavens.

At the same time, each segment of his spine loosened, like a flood dragon rising from the water.

Throughout the process, he followed the method described in Nine Radiance Body Tempering, mobilizing the Gene Primary Energy in his origin core and guiding it into the bones, muscles, blood, and even every cell around his spine.

Stimulated by the Gene Primary Energy, those cells seemed as if they had been injected with stimulants, their vitality rapidly increasing.

Qi Yuan felt a surge of heat constantly flowing through his spine, filling him with energy and giving him an urge to vent his strength!

"Second form!"

Riding that impulse, Qi Yuan changed his movement. His waist and hips twisted like a millstone turning, his arms contracted, and he stepped forward with a punch.

At once, that blazing heat surged from his vertebrae before spreading through his shoulders, neck, and arms, all the way into his fists and fingers.

In his senses, he could vaguely feel invisible energy shooting out through his fingertips.

"Third form!"

Qi Yuan changed movements again, drawing his fists back to his waist as though cradling his abdomen. This time, however, that burning pain shifted toward his chest and abdomen.

"Fourth form. Fifth form. Eighth form."

Qi Yuan performed the movements from Nine Radiance Body Tempering one by one, continuously using Gene Primary Energy to stimulate the vitality of the cells throughout his body.

Though it was his first attempt at cultivation, he was already a Star Traveller and had extremely strong control over his body, so he made no mistakes.

Throughout the process, he felt as if torrents of heat were constantly surging through his body, as though he possessed inexhaustible strength.

Only after he had completed all eighty-one special movements from beginning to end did that sensation of surging power abruptly cease.

Then, deep exhaustion instantly swept through his entire body.

The feeling was like reaching the peak after a fierce battle with his wife—once the excitement rapidly faded, all that remained was overwhelming fatigue and emptiness.

Qi Yuan understood that this was the aftereffect described in Nine Radiance Body Tempering, caused by excessively overtaxing cellular energy.

And now was the best time to absorb cosmic energy and strengthen himself!

Qi Yuan immediately sat cross-legged on the spot. With a thought, a Wood Sap Crystal the size of a grain of rice transferred directly from the System Space into his tightly clenched palm.

Wood Sap Crystals contained abundant life force and were treasures capable of promoting the evolution of life. Using one now to replenish the energy his cells had overdrawn was perfectly suitable.

"Good thing returned items can be stored temporarily in the System Space. Otherwise, they'd really be inconvenient to use."

He first took out the Earth Soul Liquid and gulped down a large mouthful, then tightly gripped the Wood Sap Crystal in his palm and began circulating the method from Nine Radiance Body Tempering.

Immediately, a massive amount of energy rich with life force began madly pouring into his body through his palm.

The cells within his body, which had just overdrawn vast amounts of energy and were in an incomparably "hungry" state, now went wild and began frantically devouring the incoming energy.

Each stream of energy was swallowed the instant it entered his body, at an unimaginably fast speed.

After continuously absorbing the vast amount of life-filled energy, the cells in Qi Yuan's body, originally starved and depleted, began rapidly filling up again.

Even after recovering to their former normal state, every cell still seemed unsatisfied, continuing to "eat" without pause.

Time slowly passed, and the energy within a Wood Sap Crystal was completely absorbed.

At that very moment, the cells in Qi Yuan's body, swollen round after "eating" so much Wood Sap Crystal energy, finally seemed to reach some kind of limit and began transforming at high speed.

Large amounts of impurities were expelled from within the cells. As every cell became "slimmer" again, it also grew stronger, while the arrangement between cells became tighter and more perfectly aligned.

Every cell was continuously transforming until it finally triggered the evolution of his entire body!

Rumble~~~

Within Qi Yuan's dantian space, surging Gene Primary Energy continuously poured in from every part of his body, gathering and compressing within the dantian space.

Crack!

With the final contraction, his entire dantian space let out a thunderous roar!

Immediately afterward, a miniature "star" radiating dazzling light formed!

Together with the two miniature stars already there.

At this moment, within his dantian space, two larger miniature stars and one smaller one—a total of three—revolved around one another without end.

The Star Traveller Tier 3 bottleneck that had trapped the original owner for who knew how long was effortlessly broken through at this moment!
