Chapter 1902, Person 4, please enter.
Half a day passed quietly amidst the intense preparations.
When Mingchuan opened his eyes again, starlight shone in them. His control over the power of the Nascent Soul stage had become much more skillful, and his understanding of the resonance field within the Star Pivot Token had also deepened.
He stood up and looked at the four sect leaders and the Dharma protector, Master Lingxu, who were ready.
"Gentlemen, let's begin."
Mingchuan formed hand seals, and his powerful Nascent Soul stage spiritual energy, mixed with pure spatial power and stellar Dao rhythm, surged into the Star Pivot Command.
"With the star hub as the guide and the laws as the foundation, spacetime is distorted, and tempering begins—Open!"
The Star Pivot Order suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling silver light!
This time, the light spread and intertwined in an orderly manner, creating a silver sphere of light about three zhang in diameter in the center of the quiet room, with flowing light and shadow inside, seemingly independent of the outside world.
On the surface of the sphere of light, countless fine star-like runes flickered, and the faint sound of the Great Dao could be heard from within.
"The four of you, please come in!" Mingchuan called out in a low voice.
Without hesitation, the four sect leaders transformed into four streams of light and shot into the silver sphere of light.
As soon as they entered, the four of them felt the surrounding space and time suddenly change!
The flow of time slowed down noticeably, but my thinking became exceptionally clear and sharp.
From all directions, invisible pressure from the laws of nature quietly descended, beginning to erode their physical bodies, spiritual power, and souls.
At the same time, Mingchuan's partial insights into the Nascent Soul stage were like a gentle stream, softly transmitted to their sea of consciousness through the resonance field.
It's not about forcibly instilling knowledge, but about guiding them to observe, think, and verify what they've learned.
The four immediately composed themselves, sat cross-legged inside the sphere of light, and began to prepare for this unprecedented trial.
Mingchuan sat cross-legged outside the ball of light, his hands maintaining the mudra, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Constructing and maintaining this law-forging field was indeed extremely taxing on him.
Not only must it continuously output massive spiritual power and Daoist essence, but it must also meticulously control the intensity of the laws and the flow of time within the field to prevent overload.
Master Lingxu watched intently from the sidelines, ready to intervene at any moment.
Inside the sphere of light, time flowed at a strange and slow pace.
Sect Master Ye sat cross-legged, and the azure wind around him was no longer howling and wild, but transformed into countless fine, hair-like streams of air that slowly traveled and wove across his body, as if constructing an invisible armor of wind.
His mind was completely immersed in the spatial insights shared by Mingchuan.
"The wind has no fixed form, and space has no fixed location... I see!"
A glint of green light flashed in Sect Master Ye's eyes, and the fine wisps of wind on his body suddenly trembled. Several of them disappeared into thin air and then quietly reappeared a foot away, completing a spatial jump over an extremely short distance.
Although it was only in its nascent stage and consumed a huge amount of energy, it undoubtedly marked the beginning of his exploration of the edges of the laws governing the interplay of wind and space.
After a hundred days of tempering, his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm has become completely stable and is steadily progressing towards a deeper level.
The flames around Sect Master Lin had completely subsided, leaving only a small, dark red sword, about an inch long, hovering in front of his brow, slowly rotating.
On the sword, the flame patterns flickered like living things, each flicker causing the surrounding light to distort slightly.
He is using Mingchuan's understanding of the stars to try to combine his own metal and fire attribute killing sword intent with the intense and murderous Dao charm contained in the stars.
"Where starlight falls, all things take shape; where sword intent points, all illusions are shattered..."
Sect Master Lin murmured to himself, and the small sword between his brows suddenly emitted a very faint ringing sound.
A thin, yet incredibly sharp, dark red sword intent shot out, not aimed at the physical object, but at an invisible node of law within the sphere of light.
laugh--!
With a soft sound, the node rippled slightly before returning to normal.
Sect Leader Lin revealed a hint of joy.
His sword intent has already begun to trigger and slightly interfere with the structure at the level of laws.
For sword cultivators, this is a crucial step towards embodying the Dao through the sword!
It was as if the Chu Sect Master was connected to the earth veins of the entire tempering field. He could clearly feel the flow of water in the earth veins and weave it into a dense net. In this net, no movement could escape his senses!
Concentric rings of pale blue water ripples and earthy yellow halos spread outwards from him, seemingly slowly, yet containing a strange rhythm that subtly smoothed and dispersed the chaotic pressure of the surrounding laws...
His defensive methods are evolving from simple material protection to field protection that is closer to the level of laws.
Sect Master Mu's condition was the most peculiar.
She exuded no brilliance, but rather a serene tranquility that seemed to return to simplicity.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that in the small area where she was located, time seemed to flow more slowly than in other places, and the space was also unusually stable.
She combined the purification and vitality principles of the Heaven-Mending Holy Sect with the order and constancy of the stars, unintentionally touching the edge of spacetime stability.
Although she couldn't control it from afar, it gave her an astonishingly keen sense of crisis and her own defenses.
One hundred days flew by in deep reflection and continuous refinement.
The four individuals made steady progress in their cultivation, and their understanding of their own paths deepened.
His mid-Nascent Soul stage was already as solid as a mountain, and he even began to faintly touch that mysterious barrier leading to the Divine Transformation stage.
However, the burden brought about by the intense understanding of the laws and the distortion of time also began to manifest.
First and foremost, there is the exhaustion of the mind and soul.
Even with the protection of the resonance field, the continuous impact of the high-dimensional laws for a hundred days still caused the four people's consciousness to feel stinging and sluggish, as if even thinking had become heavy.
Secondly, there is the risk of conflict with the principles of Taoism.
Forcibly fusing one's own cultivation techniques with the Daoist principles of foreign stars inevitably leads to incompatibility.
Sect Leader Ye once suffered from disordered aura due to the conflict between the rapid changes in the wind and the stability of the space. Fortunately, Ming Chuan guided him in time by adjusting the field, thus resolving the crisis.
Although Sect Master Lin's murderous sword intent and the starry sky's chilling aura were in harmony, the cold constancy within the starry sky's Daoist charm contradicted the intense and active nature of the flames, causing him to nearly suffer a qi deviation several times and forcing him to slow down and repeatedly reconcile the two.
Sect Master Chu and Sect Master Mu remained relatively stable, but each encountered the delicate balance problem between bearing and flowing, order and vitality.
Outside the sphere of light, Mingchuan's expression had changed from solemn to somewhat pale.
Maintaining this for such a long time has taken a toll on his newly advanced Nascent Soul stage far beyond expectations...
Not only must a massive supply of spiritual energy be continuously provided, but attention must also be diverted to regulate the intensity of the laws and the difference in the flow of time faced by the four sect leaders within the field, to prevent them from being overwhelmed by the excessively violent torrent of laws or from falling into time distortion.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and his hands, which were maintaining the hand seal, trembled slightly. Although his nascent soul resonated with the Star Pivot Order and continuously transformed the power of the stars, the burden on his soul was getting heavier and heavier.
Master Lingxu kept a close eye on Mingchuan and the situation inside the light sphere.
With the highest cultivation level and the most acute senses, he could clearly see the gradual weakening of Mingchuan's aura and the occasional chaotic fluctuations of the laws within the four people in the light sphere.
"Mingchuan, can you hold on?"
Master Lingxu transmitted his voice, his tone filled with worry, "If it doesn't work, stop immediately! Don't force it!"
Mingchuan shook his head slightly, "Senior, don't worry, they can still hold on. They've reached a critical point. If they stop now, not only will all their previous efforts be wasted, but they might also suffer a backlash from the sudden interruption of their comprehension. Give me... another half day."
Master Lingxu frowned, yet he knew that Mingchuan's words made sense.
He said no more, but silently raised the moonlight power he had recovered, ready to intervene forcefully if Mingchuan was exhausted or the field went out of control.
