Chapter 131 (continued)
Lianxin is currently only barely maintaining her doll form with Si Kui's help.
If he were to rely solely on himself, he would now be like a snow-white Lianxin that looks incredibly delicious.
Li Yang asked, "Then can you still enter my dreams?"
"..."
"Or perhaps it's in the Spirit Sea?"
"Fellow Daoist..." Lianxin's voice trembled slightly, "Why do you suddenly want to see my true form?"
Li Yang: "I want to condense Star Soul, but I don't have any ideas. I'd like to refer to your original form!"
Lianxin: "!"
Li Yang asked him again, "Is it okay?"
Lianxin: "Fellow Daoist, didn't you want to condense it into a pear blossom?"
"Yes, they're all flowers, all white. I'm at a loss for ideas, but if I follow your example, it'll definitely be much easier!"
Lianxin remained silent for a long time.
Thinking of Lianxin's personality, Li Yang said, "If you don't want to, I..." She wouldn't force Lianxin to do something she didn't want to do, after all, Lianxin had helped her a lot along the way.
"I do!" Lianxin rarely interrupted, but this time she couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Thank you!" Li Yang said sweetly, then urged, "So, tell me, shall we go to the dream world or the Spirit Sea?"
"Let's talk about the Spirit Sea..." Lianxin said, "This will help you condense your Star Soul more easily."
Li Yang readily agreed, "Okay!"
They communicated within their Spirit Sea, a form of Spirit Connection, only more discreet and convenient due to their Symbiotic Contract.
If they want to meet in their Spirit Sea, both of them need to open their Spirit Sea, which is similar to a dream scenario.
However, compared to dreaming, being in the Spirit Sea makes it more clear-headed and easier for Li Yang to cultivate.
Li Yang meditated, entering his own Spirit Sea.
Before long, a thick white mist swept in, and the two people's Spirit Sea connected, forming a dreamlike space.
Li Yang was deeply impressed by the true nature of the Lianxin.
After all, the little doll is the same as the original, just shrunk many, many times.
Li Yang stepped onto the Spirit Sea that resembled Kong Yi, and all she could see was a hazy white mist.
The mist, with its faint, crystalline hue, gradually condensed and coalesced, eventually forming a multicolored, snow-white lotus flower.
The lotus flowers were not in full bloom, but rather tightly embracing each other.
Li Yang stared intently, then softly called out, "Lianlian!"
The petals slowly unfolded.
Its snow-white color, as if illuminated by sunlight, refracted an extremely beautiful and dreamlike luster.
It is indeed the shape of a lotus flower, but Li Yang is certain that there is absolutely no lotus flower this beautiful in reality.
As the lotus unfolds, its layers of petals transform into a light, snow-white garment.
After her fluffy clothes fell to the ground, Lianxin, in her adult form, stood before Li Yang.
His silver hair was smooth and silky, cascading down to his ankles like a waterfall, perfectly outlining his elaborate, spread-out clothes.
Lianxin's appearance was exquisite beyond compare, but unlike the Blue Crystal Clan, he was not androgynous; rather, he was pure and holy, possessing a beauty that transcended gender.
Li Yang was so engrossed in watching that she forgot to blink.
She suddenly remembered that the human form of Lianxin was a manifestation of her aesthetic sense.
It has to be said that Li Yang couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Fellow Daoist, let me revert to the lotus form for your reference."
"Okay... okay."
The Lianxin is not actually a lotus flower, but when it transforms into human form, it blooms from within the lotus flower.
And that moment of unfolding is also the easiest for Li Yang to learn from.
So Li Yang watched it over and over again.
Logically speaking, even the most beautiful things become tiresome after being seen too often. But Li Yang felt that things were always new and exciting, and she could never get enough of them.
Oops!
Although Li Yang didn't have any romantic ideas, she vaguely realized that it might not be easy for her to find a partner in the future.
No matter how tall a human male grows... he can't possibly look like this.
Not to mention Lianlian has such a good personality.
However, Li Yang quickly felt relieved.
What's the point of being in love?
Nothing is as interesting as spiritual practice!
Anyway, Li Yang has lived two lives and has never thought about dating or marriage.
Being able to join the Agronomy Department and become a teacher's student in this lifetime already gives me a home; I don't need to go through the trouble of starting another one.
"Fellow Daoist?" Lianxin noticed that she was just staring blankly and couldn't help but remind her, "Have you gained any insights?"
Li Yang: "!"
Beauty really does lead one astray; she completely forgot what she was supposed to be doing.
Condense the Star Soul! Hurry!
She couldn't miss the registration for the Life-and-Death Battle that night.
Li Yang began to observe carefully, while also trying to connect with the Star Aperture in his Spirit Sea.
After breaking through to the Fifth Grade Realm, Li Yang clearly realized that he had entered a new stage.
The main task of Star Wielders at the First Grade to the Fourth Grade Realm is to fill the Star Aperture.
Each Star Aperture has a different shape; Physique Points corresponds to the inside of the Star Aperture, while Spirit Points corresponds to the outside.
Only when the interior is filled and the exterior is illuminated can this Star Aperture be considered complete.
The number of Star Aperture is very limited in the first Third Grade Realm, but it increases dramatically after reaching the Fourth Grade Realm.
Li Yang now has a total of 150 Star Aperture.
These 150 Star Aperture, like a star map, were randomly distributed in her Spirit Sea.
To advance to the Fifth Grade Realm, Li Yang needs to gather all 150 Star Aperture and then condense them into the shape of Star Soul.
Li Yang tried to condense the energy for a while, but didn't gain any insights.
Thinking of her own talent, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly and compromise with Sister Longevity.
"Consumes lifespan to condense Star Soul."
[Would you like to consume 80,000 years of your lifespan to condense your Star Soul?]
Li Yang's vision went black.
She guessed that Sister Longevity would ask for an exorbitant amount, but she didn't expect her to ask for this much!
Eighty thousand years!
Even with a stable source of income now, she can't afford to squander it like this.
However, Li Yang had no choice.
If she didn't expend those 80,000 years of lifespan, she might have had to stay in the Spirit Sea for a full 80,000 years before she could hope to condense Star Soul.
Li Yang's body being able to cultivate is equivalent to breaking the Laws of Heaven and Earth!
"Consumable!"
[You spent eighty thousand years observing the Ninth-Grade Lianxin, finally gaining some insight and beginning to condense your Star Soul.]
Li Yang was speechless.
If there really is another dimension, could she have actually been observing for a full 80,000 years?
Even if she's not annoyed, Lianxin must be exhausted!
Li Yang clearly felt that the 150 Star Aperture scattered in his Spirit Sea seemed to have found their direction and began to converge in the void.
Suddenly, Li Yang heard her teacher's voice in her mind— "Little Pear Blossom."
This was also the inspiration she used to conceive of the Star Soul.
Therefore, these 150 Star Aperture, after referencing the Ninth-Grade Lianxin, began to condense Star Soul belonging to Li Yang.
But Li Yang felt inexplicably uneasy.
Little Pear Blossom? Isn't that too small?
She wants to be Big Pear Blossom!
Thinking about it carefully, the Sunflower is indeed quite big, but I've never even heard of Big Pear Blossom.
Oh no, is my plan to reverse my talent going to fail?
If it really dies prematurely, then it's the teacher's fault.
Why call her Little Pear Blossom?
She should be called Big Pear Blossom!
Li Yang was filled with anxiety and her mind raced with all sorts of imagining scenarios.
Because it's formed from lifespan, it doesn't matter if she has wild thoughts; it won't affect the speed at which the Star Soul is drawn.
A short while later, a light suddenly appeared in Li Yang's Spirit Sea, and he sensed his own Star Soul.
She witnessed an incredibly dazzling scene, leaving her completely stunned.
Lianxin looked somewhat tired at this moment, but upon seeing Li Yang's Star Soul, his weariness vanished instantly, and his eyes shone like stars.
A shower of petals fell from the sky, landing directly into his heart and stirring up endless ripples.
Strange phenomena have suddenly appeared in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain!
Li Yang had just condensed her Star Soul and had not yet left her Spirit Sea, so she was unaware of the earth-shattering phenomenon that had occurred in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.
Suddenly, a massive, golden pear tree appeared above the icy blue Blue Crystal Soil, its branches blotting out the sky.
It was so large that it couldn't even be called a single tree; it looked like a thousand or ten thousand trees!
At this moment, snow-white pear blossoms bloomed, illuminating the entire Realm Domain.
"Thousands of pear trees in bloom..." The big guys from the Nature Department also saw this scene, and this ancient poem describing snow-covered landscapes came to mind.
At this moment, the pear blossoms in the strange phenomenon fell like snowflakes across the entire Realm Domain.
"So beautiful!"
"This..."
"Senior Sister has successfully advanced to the Fifth Grade Realm! She has condensed Star Soul!" Yu Hongyuan shouted.
Everyone snapped out of their daze, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Even Jiang Yuqing, who was busy cultivating, came out. He stood on the Blue Crystal Soil, staring intently, his heart filled with utter shock.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 3000 points.]
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 5000 points.]
"This..." Jiang Yuqing was stunned, her voice trembling, "This Star Soul is too terrifying."
As the strange phenomenon dissipated, the Blue Crystal Clan were kneeling on the ground, all shouting in utter worship, "Congratulations, Venerable One!"
Lan Yu was so excited that his hair stood on end. He put down the petri dish in his hand and shouted excitedly, "Thank you for your blessing, Venerable One!"
This overwhelming phenomenon was indeed a great blessing for the Blue Crystal Clan.
This is just like when Li Yaowan advanced to the Eighth Grade Realm Peak, the golden alchemy furnace, which resembled a city, enveloped the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.
