Chapter 1896 Breaking Through the Crack
The quiet room had already been prepared by Jizhou and his men.
This place resembles a small, independent starry sky, surrounded by flowing silver spatial barriers. Simulated star projections slowly rotate overhead, while the ground features a massive array carved from a single piece of condensed jade from the void, radiating a soft spiritual light.
The dense spiritual energy almost condensed into a tangible mist, mixed with the unique, cool starlight emanating from the Star Pivot Order.
Mingchuan sat cross-legged in the center of the array diagram, placing the Star Pivot Token in front of him, with the Star Mark Record spread out on his lap.
He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to circulate the "Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique".
Unlike his previous cultivation, this time he took the initiative to connect his divine sense with the Star Pivot Token, drawing upon the vast stellar Daoist essence within it.
At the same time, he diverted a sliver of his mind to immerse himself in the ocean of information in the "Star Mark Record," not to read, but to feel the law imprints flowing within it, belonging to the seventh gatekeeper, Star Mark.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in the quiet room.
I don't know how much time passed; it might have been just a few hours, or it might have been a day or two.
A respectful announcement came from outside the quiet room: "Sect Master, the four Sect Masters have secretly arrived and are waiting in the side hall."
Mingchuan slowly opened his eyes, his aura seemingly more restrained, yet subtly resonating with the surrounding starry sky on a deeper level.
"It's finally here..."
He stood up, straightened his robes, and stepped out of the quiet room.
Inside the side hall, the four sect leaders sat upright, their faces showing a complex mix of disbelief and emotion.
They were all shocked when they learned that Mingchuan was going to lead them through their breakthrough.
But when Ye Chuhan and the others showed them the information Mingchuan had shared about the Eye of Guixu and the Star Pivot Token, they fell silent.
The pressure of impending doom, coupled with the possibility of a glimmer of hope, ultimately led them to choose to believe.
"Master Ming!"
Everyone spoke in unison.
Mingchuan nodded and got straight to the point: "No need for formalities, you four. Time is of the essence, let's get started."
"I'm sure you're all familiar with the plan. I can't guarantee 100% success, but I will do my utmost. There may be risks along the way, and I need you to have complete trust in me, open your minds, accept the laws and principles I'm guiding you through, and integrate them with your own cultivation methods."
"If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms during the process, you must immediately communicate them with your mind and not try to endure it."
Sect Leader Ye was the first to laugh out loud, feigning ease: "Xiao Chuan, don't worry about that. We old folks know what we're doing."
"At our current level and age, the pain of being stuck at a bottleneck is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. We are all overjoyed that you have given us such an opportunity to break through, and of course we completely trust you!"
The other three nodded in agreement.
Sect Master Chu said, "Old Ye is right. Even if we only have a 50% chance of success, it's worth risking everything!"
Seeing this, Mingchuan nodded in relief.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Please follow me."
After saying that, Mingchuan led the four of them back into the Void Chamber.
Upon seeing this magical space and the token radiating vast starlight, a hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the four sect leaders.
Without any unnecessary words, the five people sat down cross-legged according to the five elements and directions.
Mingchuan suspended the Star Pivot Token above the center of the five people, formed a hand seal, and slowly poured the vast and pure spatial spiritual power into the Star Pivot Token, which was mixed with the all-encompassing Daoist charm unique to the "Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique".
"Om-!"
The Star Pivot command shone brightly, its silvery light cascading down like a waterfall, enveloping the five people within it.
At the same time, the pages of "Star Mark Record" turned automatically, and the flowing light patterns on the pages echoed the radiance of the Star Pivot Order.
Fragments of laws, each containing different attributes and realms, yet all originating from the ancient star-protecting system, were guided by Mingchuan's divine sense.
They carefully peeled away, filtered, and then directed the materials to the four sect leaders.
A sudden gust of green wind rose around Sect Leader Ye, as if he were about to merge into the vastness and speed of the starry sky.
A faint golden-red flame ignited on Sect Leader Lin's body, resonating with the intense and chilling aspects of the starlight.
The Chu Sect Master's aura was as deep as an abyss, attempting to connect with the profound meaning carried within the stars.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Mu emitted a pure white light, sensing the vitality of the stars and the rhythm of purification!
Mingchuan is like a highly precise hub and harmonizer.
His divine sense split into several streams, maintaining a stable output of the Star Pivot Order and precise distribution of the Daoist rhyme from the Star Mark Record, while closely monitoring the condition of the four sect leaders.
Using its own spatial power as a buffer and bridge, it prevents conflicts between Daoist principles of different attributes.
At the same time, they guided the spiritual energy that had been dormant within them for many years, following that glimmer of opportunity, to begin to break through that solid bottleneck barrier.
Inside the quiet room, energy fluctuations began to rise and fall violently.
The sounds of wind, crackling flames, babbling water, and the faint cries of cranes intertwined, enveloped and harmonized by starlight and the power of space.
The four sect leaders' faces alternated between pale and flushed, their auras sometimes surging and sometimes receding, clearly indicating that they had all entered the deepest level of comprehension and impact.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Mingchuan's forehead. Guiding four Nascent Soul cultivators to break through their bottlenecks simultaneously was far more taxing and stressful than he had anticipated.
Not only must one harmonize the external Daoist rhythm, but one must also constantly sense the subtle changes in the flow of spiritual energy within their bodies. The slightest mistake could lead to a runaway of spiritual energy or an interruption of comprehension.
But his eyes remained calm, like the deep starry sky.
The "Myriad Transformations Return to One" technique within his body was operating at full power, like a never-ending millstone, grinding away the massive spiritual energy, starlight, and even the Daoist impact brought by the fragments of laws from the outside world, transforming them into his own pure power. He also used it generously to maintain the stability of the entire resonance field and repair his meridians and sea of consciousness, which were aching from the enormous consumption.
Time flowed slowly under extreme focus and pressure.
One day, two days, three days...
In the empty, quiet room, there is no distinction between day and night; only the projection of the stars overhead slowly rotates, recording the passage of time.
On the seventh day, changes began to occur.
The azure wind surrounding Sect Master Ye no longer merely swirled, but began to emit a subtle yet clear whistling sound. At the eye of the wind, an extremely condensed, almost transparent azure light slowly took shape, radiating an incomparably sharp and exceptionally agile aura.
That was a sign that the wind element laws had condensed to a certain degree and were beginning to touch upon the true meaning of extreme speed and cutting!
The first clear crack appeared in the barrier of his early Nascent Soul stage, which had been stagnant for many years!
Almost simultaneously, the golden-red flames on Sect Master Lin's body suddenly surged, and at the center of the flames, a small and exquisite sword shadow, yet exuding a chilling killing intent, vaguely appeared!
The sword shadow trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious hum, and the surrounding flames danced in response, faintly forming the prototype of a profound sword formation.
Beneath his tightly closed eyelids, his pupils darted rapidly, clearly undergoing intense comprehension of the laws and a surge of spiritual energy.
The threshold of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm is already in sight!
Although Sect Master Chu and Sect Master Mu slowed down their movements, their auras underwent a qualitative change.
The Chu Sect Master's aura, as deep and profound as an abyss, now possessed a grandeur and stability akin to that of a starry universe. The condensed jade beneath him seemed to resonate with him, trembling slightly.
The white radiance of Sect Master Mu grew increasingly pure and holy. At the edge of the radiance, tiny specks of light, like stardust, appeared and disappeared. Faintly, the phantom of a crane circled around and cried out. This was a manifestation of the purification and life force laws beginning to merge with the power of the stars!
