If the star thought power of the first three layers left mental power as intangible as air, with a hollow sense of being unable to exert any force whenever he moved a physical object,
then reaching the fourth layer of star thought power had begun turning mental power, little by little, into something tangible, almost liquid, allowing the same amount of telekinetic power to easily move objects more than ten times heavier than before.
This suddenly made his ability to control objects with his mind terrifying, despite its original severe weakening in the Cultivation World-and this was only the result of a few months spent cultivating the fourth layer of star thought power.
If he fully mastered the fourth layer of star thought power, or even cultivated straight through to the layers beyond it, one could imagine what heaven-defying heights his telekinetic control over objects might reach.
Originally, he had not believed a word of the claim made by the old man who taught star thought power in the Star River Game: that its ninth layer could interfere with a planet's gravity. Now, however, there seemed to be a sliver of possibility.
After all, his telekinetic power was already this frightening upon merely entering the fourth layer. If he truly became a nine-star telekinetic master, his power would be a bottomless abyss, beyond anything ordinary people could imagine.
But beyond the ordinary enhancement of his mind and ability to control objects, cultivating the fourth layer of star thought power also seemed to have unleashed the evolution of the Metal-Dowsing Art.
This innate talent, originally obtained from the Iron-Eater Crocodile, had merely been an unremarkable ability to faintly sense and manipulate metal. In a sense, it was also a special kind of telekinetic power, but it could only sense and control
