Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Bei Feng’s blood and Qi rippled gently; although the tremors were light, they were increasing rapidly!

An intense hunger constantly assaulted Bei Feng’s mind, causing him to completely lose interest in continuing to comprehend the mysteries of the Yin-Yang legacy.

Bei Feng forcefully endured the discomfort and said, “Lu Bu, let’s find something to eat, I want something big!”

“Yes, Family Head!”

Lu Bu looked up with shock; the family head had already eaten not long ago, and he was hungry again? However, he did not ask anything and directly ran off.

Very quickly, a seemingly endless stream of food was delivered to Bei Feng’s front. Bei Feng was like a ravenous beast unleashed from hell, devouring anything that was put before him without question.

The amount of meat that Bei Feng had eaten caused Lu Bu and the rest to stare wide-eyed with speechlessness. Even Lu Bu who was a Fourth Layer expert could not stomach so much Demonic Beast meat!

At this time, Bei Feng’s aura was growing more and more resplendent. The powerful thumps of his heart rang out from his chest, spreading far into the quiet night.

Large amounts of blood and Qi surged through his body, raising its toughness to an even higher level. At the same time, his body began to transform again!

Layers of old and decaying skin began to peel off from him; he was like a snake shedding its skin.

Lush black hair sprouted from his head like crystalline threads, as sturdy as metal.

A bright light rose up beside Bei Feng’s heart; this was a flame of blood and Qi formed by blood and Qi that had been condensed to an extreme. At this moment, Bei Feng seemed like a humanoid savage beast.

The Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique had already been cultivated back to the Second Layer by Bei Feng, which meant that he could use the Giant Bear manifestation and the dragon beast manifestion. As for his third Dharma Manifestation, Bei Feng had already decided on what it would be. He would condense the Fox of Human and Natural Disaster Dharma Manifestion!

The little fox had branded its soul blood onto Bei Feng’s soul before it died, which meant that he could use the soul blood to condense the third Dharma Manifestation!

As the Star God formed by the little fox and the evil source energy hadn’t been born yet, the stellar acupoint between his brows were still a patch of darkness, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Only after eating four entire Third Layer Demonic Beasts did Bei Feng finally stop eating. In that special state of energy devouring, Bei Feng’s blood and Qi had increased by two units in just two hours!

If a normal Third Layer Hundred Year realm primary stage cultivator’s energy was one unit, Bei Feng’s strength was five units! Adding on the two units he’d gained earlier, he had seven times more energy than a normal Third Layer Hundred Year realm primary stage cultivator!

Strength especially was not counted as simply adding one and one together. Even if he went up against seven Third Layer Hundred Year realm primary stage cultivators, Bei Feng could completely suppress them and obtain an overwhelming victory!

With just two more units of strength, Bei Feng would return to his peak level of power on Earth. At that time, he could go ahead and break through a minor realm.

Deep at night, Lu Bing and the rest took turns to stand guard. As for Bei Feng, he sat cross-legged within a cavern carved in the mountain.

Tiny points of starlight revolved around his fingertips, forming numerous profound patterns.

“After the establishment of the star palace, my affinity with stellar energy has increased greatly. It’s much easier to control it as well. Now, it’s finally possible to cultivate the basic techniques of the Yin-Yang legacy,” Bei Feng mumbled to himself. He had been eyeing the secrets of the Yin-Yang manual for a long time already.

The number of secret arts he could cultivate from the manual now was very little, and only numbered three. The star palace stage was only the most basic level of mastery, and there naturally weren’t too many techniques for him to learn.

The star palace realm was also divided into nine layers, with each level of the palace corresponding to one layer!

The three techniques were the Stargazing Art, a secret art of using the heart to observe the stars. This secret art did not have much use at the early stages.

The second art was the Star Pointing Art. It could improve the intellect of the cultivator, but the effect was similarly not very obvious at the start.

The third was a formation art, the Star Gathering Art. After setting up this formation, the speed of drawing in stellar energy would increase by three times.

These three techniques were not very useful in the short term, but they served to set up a firm foundation. As the ranks in these skills increased, the following techniques in the future woud be stronger.

At this moment, Bei Feng was eyeing a certain technique that would only be unlocked in the Star Gathering realm, the Thousand Crane technique!

This was an extremely profound technique, and could beguile and control the hearts of others without them even realizing. The utility of this technique was extremely powerful!

However, this technique came with many restrictions. Against opponents whose cultivation or mental power exceeded his by too much, the technique would not work.

“The Star Gathering realm, that’s the equivalence of the Thousand Year King realm, or the Transcendent realm! It’s not something that can be accomplished in a single stroke.”

Bei Feng sighed lightly. But when he thought about the amazingness of this technique, he was filled with motivation.

“I’ll cultivate the Stargazing Art first.”

Bei Feng closed his eyes, and all the details about the Stargazing Art appeared in his mind.

After verifying the steps multiple times, he formed the hand seals, and a faint stellar energy light shone out of his Star Palace and congealed on his palms, forming a mystical pattern. Just looking at it once would cause one to feel terribly giddy.

Hand seals were not just for show; the most minute angles and the position of every finger were extremely important. At the point where energy was released, a large amount of mental energy was also required.

Anyone whose mental power was much weaker than Bei Feng’s would find themselves sink into a daze just by looking at the stellar patterns.

“Pop!”

A light sound rang out, and Bei Feng’s body shook gently. The energy that’d almost congealed on his hand directly burst apart like a bubble.

Bei Feng opened his eyes, not losing hope. Failure was very normal, and even to be expected. After all, this was a path that was completely different from the martial dao!

‘Looks like I was mistaken. Blood and Qi are actually the same thing, while this Yin-Yang legacy is the path that’s really different from the martial path.’

A spark of understanding flashed in Bei Feng’s heart. He’d originally thought that Qi refining and body cultivation were two different paths. In actual fact, blood and Qi were essentially the same thing. The only thing was that they were different branches of the same tree.

As for the Yin-Yang legacy, it focused on a completely different Dao that was different from the martial Dao.

As his experiences were too lacking, he thought that the two were different paths. Only now was the veil before his eyes lifted.

The most ancient cultivation techniques did not differentiate between body cultivation and Qi refinement. It was because only later on—perhaps due to a lack of talent, resources, and other factors—did the specialization of body and Qi refinement appear.

After understanding this point, Bei Feng’s blood and Qi shook and the last bit of confusion disappeared. His blood and Qi melded together perfectly, turning into a stronger, more enduring verion of energy with greater explosive might.

Just a simple switch in mindset immediately caused Bei Feng’s blood and Qi to flow more smoothly. Wherever his will directed, his blood and Qi would flow!

‘Is this the benefit of a powerful soul? The comprehension ability is stronger, and the veil that had been blinding my eyes has been lifted.’

Bei Feng felt a great joy in his heart as a smile lit up his face.

Following that, Bei Feng began to cultivate the Stargazing Art. Failing over and over again, trying again and again… time passed, and the sky began to brighten. Finally, a beautiful diagram like a flowing galaxy was congealed in Bei Feng’s hand!

The moment the diagram appeared, it was imprinted into Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness. Bei Feng’s eyes were vacant, as if he could see through the layers of space.

More accurately, the moment his hand seals were completed, Bei Feng already found himself beside a planet. This planet was at the end of its life, and the lush trees that once stood upon it had all disappeared,

Numeous volcanos could be seen, spewing out lava over a thousand meters high into the air. The destructive might of these volcanoes was extremely terrifying, and even Transcendent realm cultivators would have to keep a distance from them.

As he watched the entire scene quietly, a faint grayish energy appeared in his Star Palace.

Before Bei Feng could get a good look, his eyes blurred, and he was back in the stone cavern.

“Stargazing Art, using the heart to view the stars and planets, one may replenish whatever is lacking in the Star Palace.”

Bei Feng fully understood how this technique worked. The Stargazing Art was not very useful in the initial stages, but once it was cultivated to a high level, a single thought would allow one to witness the birth, life, and death of a thousand stars. One could constantly be fortifying their Star Palace at that stage.

The Star Palace was central to ecultivating the Yin-Yang legacy. Towards the end, there would be all kinds of mysterious uses for stellar power, and the Star Palace could even mold stellar energy into weapons. Just this function alone was already extremely powerful, not to mention its other uses.

Bei Feng did not continue to cultivate. After cultivating for the entire night, his mental power and soul power were greatly exhausted. The main thing was that the burden the Stargazing Art placed on the soul and mental power was extremely great. If one over-cultivated it, it would instead cause harm to the soul.

Only at this time did Bei Feng have the time to evaluate the changes to his mental power. Bei Feng naturally already understood the changes to his soul. As for his mental power turning into a crystal, it was still something that Bei Feng needed to explore slowly.

“The area that my mental power covers is not out of expectations. It can already cover a 1,000 meter’s area, but I get the feeling that it can go beyond that.”

Bei Feng furrowed his brows. He could feel that the largest part of the transformation was still undiscovered by him.

“Hm? Mental power can affect reality!”

Bei Feng’s expression froze. Since the quantity of his mental power had grown, what about the quality? Before Bei Feng’s amazed eyes, the small stone before him rose slowly into the air and orbited around him.

“It’s a pity that this only works on things one meter away from me. In addition, if I’m using it to affect reality, I cannot scan my surroundings with my mental power.”

After experimenting for a moment, Bei Feng found that the little stone could only move about within one meter from him and his mental power could only retract and focus on things one meter around him.

There were only two options in the end. If he used his mental power to move objects, he could not scan the surroundings 1,000 meters around him. Even so, he was very happy; there was nothing between him and the stone, and he managed to move it purely with his own mental power!

The concept was completely different. Amd since he could affect reality with his mental power now, it was only a matter of time and effort before that range would increase!

“It’s a pity that there’s a limit to the weight of the items I can manipulate. Right now, I can only move things around half a jin heavy. More than that, and my mental power can’t lift it,” Bei Feng concluded after experimenting with several differently sized stones.

“Both the martial Dao and the Yin-Yang legacy are very important. The only thing is that I’m too weak now, and can only dedicate my time and resources mainly to one area. After reaching the Thousand Year King realm, I can devote my efforts to the other path. From the way things are now, the martial path is my root, while the Yin-Yang legacy is something that I’ve only begun to pick up. In that case, martial Dao shall be my main focus, while the Yin-Yang legacy will be a complimentary power.”

Bei Feng did not want to end up with nothing by being too greedy. The martial strength of this world was very high. Hundred Year realm cultivators were as common as dogs, and only Thousand Year Kings would have some speaking power.
