From Five Animal Exercises to being hailed as a saint and ancestor

Just as Elder Qin, sitting below the stage, was so shocked by the astonishing phenomena evoked by Yao Mengkang, Zhou Tiancan, and Li Han that his mind was wavering and his composure was nearly broken, he was left in the audience.

On the Starfall Platform, the souls of the ten disciples are undergoing their own unique transformations within that mysterious starry illusion.

Xuanyuan Po's soul seemed to be in an endless battlefield of stars.

Countless stars pierced through the sky like sharp swords.

He carefully comprehended the invincible and sharp essence contained within the power of the stars.

The experience of increasing power as I tempered my body with the power of stars after repeatedly killing Star Beasts in the secret realm kept replaying in my mind.

He intertwined this experience with his own kendo.

The sword intent was originally powerful but lacked variation.

Gradually, the traces of the stars' movements became more apparent, and the spiritual power to pierce through the void increased, making the path clearer.

Mu Qingqing's situation was completely different.

Her dream world was a vibrant starlight forest, where countless plants and animals made of starlight grew and swayed.

She sensed the immense vitality and nourishing properties of the stars.

When combined with his own wood-attribute cultivation techniques, the flow of his elemental energy becomes increasingly smooth and continuous.

Its resilience and endurance have been greatly improved.

The others, such as Wang Le, Huo Ling'er, Xu Zijian, and Xu Ziyi, also found their own paths within the illusion.

Whether it's experiencing the heat of the stars, feeling their weight, or pursuing their speed...

In this magical illusion, their minds became sharper than ever before.

Many cultivation problems that I have been struggling to solve in my daily life.

At this moment, everything suddenly became clear, as if water had naturally flowed into a channel.

Their understanding and application of stellar power are improving rapidly.

Outside, Elder Qin had only just begun to recover from the initial shock.

His gaze swept over the meteorite platform once more.

This time, he noticed that it wasn't just Yao Mengkang and his two companions.

The star power gathered around the other seven of the ten disciples was also several times more concentrated and pure than that of any previous generation of disciples recorded in the academy's history!

"It seems that the overall quality of this year's cohort is indeed far superior to that of previous years..."

Elder Qin pondered to himself.

A sense of relief had just begun to rise when his gaze fell upon the three still dazzling and uniquely styled phenomena ahead.

That small sense of relief was immediately replaced by an even greater numbness.

"Alas, with such gems before us, even the humblest stones seem insignificant..."

"With those three little monsters around, the others are improving like this."

"But it seems... rather ordinary."

He shook his head, forcing himself to stop paying attention to the existence of those three "inhuman" beings.

Focusing his attention on the other disciples, he finally felt a little more at peace.

Within the illusion, Li Han was fully focused on comprehending the "Nine Transformations of the Star God".

Around him, it seemed as if countless dark star assassins were performing the art of killing.

Those originally obscure assassination techniques combined with the power of stars became crystal clear under the enhancement of the illusion.

He gained a revolutionary understanding of how to conceal himself in the shadows of starlight and how to concentrate the sharpness of the stars onto the tip of a dagger.

His methods of assassination are evolving into something more bizarre and deadly.

Zhou Tiancan, like an unmoving rock, was immersed in his understanding of the "Undying Star Body".

In the illusion, he seemed to transform into an ancient star that had been subjected to the impact of countless meteors.

Each impact deepened his understanding of the true meaning of "immortality".

The dark golden star power was no longer just tempering the physical body, but also began to merge with the blood and qi of his dragon spine and his own will, making solid progress toward true "physical immortality".

His defenses and strength are growing at a terrifying rate.

At this moment, Yao Mengkang, who triggered the initial strange phenomenon, was not fully immersed in comprehending the "Zhou Tian Xing Shen Jue".

An even bolder, even insane, idea.

It ignited in his consciousness like a spark, and quickly spread like wildfire!

"The stone beads can optimize cultivation techniques. Is it possible to activate the stone beads... to optimize cultivation techniques, or even to deduce and fuse them?"

Once the idea took hold, it could not be stopped!

He possesses not only the core inheritances of the Lingtian Daoist, such as the "Zhou Tian Xing Shen Jue", "Xing Chen Bu Mie Ti", and "Xing Shen Jiu Bian".

There is also the "Hun Yuan Yi Qi Gong," which has already been cultivated to a certain level.

The mysterious and seemingly limitless fragments of the Five Animal Frolics.

And now his most powerful martial art, "Thousand Waves Overlapping Edge Technique"!

If we can integrate them into one, taking the best of each and making up for the worst, we can develop a supreme method that is truly perfect and suits our own thirteen levels of spiritual foundation.

What a sight that would be!

As if sensing Yao Mengkang's thoughts, Shizhu gave timely feedback.

It actually works!

Yao Mengkang chose the Five Animal Frolics as the soul of the fusion almost without hesitation!

This ancient fragment, obtained by chance, and seemingly ordinary body-refining method, became increasingly extraordinary to him as his cultivation deepened.

It is far more than just imitating five kinds of birds and beasts; it contains a more fundamental rhythm that is closer to the "Tao".

Especially after sensing a faint connection with the Chaos Chakra.

He felt that the Five Animal Frolics had some kind of secret connection with that chaos.

"Using the Five Animal Frolics as the core, all techniques are governed!"

Once he made up his mind, Yao Mengkang no longer hesitated.

He concentrated all his attention, and the "stone bead" seemed to sense Yao Mengkang's thoughts.

The principles of celestial movement in the "Zhou Tian Xing Shen Jue".

The secret to physical tempering in "The Undying Star Body".

The transformation of combat and slaughter in "Nine Transformations of Star God".

The profound foundation of the Primordial Qi Gong.

The ingenious superposition of power in the "Thousand Waves Overlapping Edge Technique".

All information on cultivation techniques, insights gained from practice, and energy models are included!

Then, the five profound meanings of the Five Animal Frolics, which seem simple but directly point to the origin of life, are discussed.

The bear's solidity, the tiger's ferocity, the deer's agility, the ape's cunning, and the crane's lightness serve as the foundation and framework for integration.

An unprecedented simulation and integration process has begun!

The "stone bead" spun wildly within the chaotic chakra, with wisps of chaotic energy flickering intermittently.

Countless spiritual energy circulation routes, techniques, and artistic conceptions collide, decompose, and recombine.

It simulates the possibilities of billions of combinations of martial arts techniques.

Yao Mengkang's soul seemed to be at the center of a cosmic storm of knowledge, with all sorts of profound insights pouring in like a sudden awakening:

"So that's how it is! The 'Zhou Tian Xing Shen Jue' not only invokes the power of the stars, but also the 'order' of their movement!"

"The 'Undying Star Body' not only pursues physical strength, but also refines the physical body as a 'universe'!"

"The key to 'Primordial Unity' lies in 'unification,' encompassing all things!"

"The concept of 'Thousand Waves Overlapping Slash' can also be seen as an application of the power of stellar tides!"

"And the Five Animal Frolics..." The bear form is not only about the earth, but also about 'bearing'.

The tiger's form is not only about metal, but also about "killing intent".

The deer's form is not only about wood, but also about 'vitality' and 'keenness'.

The ape's form is not limited to water, but also lies in its "agility" and "wisdom".

The crane's form is not merely about fire, but also about 'sublimation' and 'transcendence'!

The true meaning of the Five Animal Frolics is essentially about guidance, harmony, and evolution...

It is a manifestation of some fundamental rule that led to the creation of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and ultimately, the origin of all things in the primordial chaos!

Suddenly everything became clear! Like the sun breaking through the clouds!

With the help of the "Stone Bead" and the blessing of the Starry Illusion,

Yao Mengkang's understanding of these main exercises has reached a whole new level.

He no longer dwells on its appearance, but goes straight to its core essence.

Deduction, integration, and sublimation!

A brand new martial arts technique, centered on the Five Animal Frolics and perfectly suited to his own chaotic chakra and thirteen levels of meridian opening foundation, is slowly taking shape!

This technique can, like the "Zhou Tian Xing Shen Jue" (a martial arts manual), activate the stars in the heavens.

It can also temper an indestructible physical body like the "Undying Star Body".

It can also control all kinds of changes and contains infinite potential!

"This technique should be named—The Chaos Star God Technique!"

At the very moment the rudimentary form of this cultivation technique was finalized—

The stone beads in the Chaos Chakra spun at the speed of light, eventually condensing into nearly a hundred drops of multicolored liquid.

As Yao Mengkang watched as most of the star liquid was absorbed by the stone beads, his heart clenched.

As if sensing Yao Mengkang's reluctance, the stone bead left behind three drops that floated deep within the chaotic chakra and transmitted a message.

[Star Liquid: A liquid formed by the combined power of countless stars, containing immense life force, with the power to revive the dead and heal the wounded.]

Yao Mengkang felt he could summon those three drops of star liquid at any time.

Meanwhile, on the Starfall Platform, another strange event is unfolding!

The silver starlight that had been enveloping Yao Mengkang suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling light!

Immediately afterwards, streaks of dark golden light imbued with an aura of immortality emanated from his body.

That's the Daoist essence of the "Undying Star Body" being activated!

Then, streaks of ethereal and sharp starlight sword energy swirled up!

Furthermore, five-colored spiritual light, containing the birth and death of the five elements yet transcending them, emerged!

Several completely different, yet incredibly powerful, phenomena appeared simultaneously around Yao Mengkang, making him appear like a god!

Below the stage, Elder Qin, who had just managed to calm himself down, nearly popped his eyes out when he saw this scene!

"Again...again?! Several strange phenomena appearing simultaneously?! What exactly did he do in the illusion?"

Elder Qin felt that his bottom line of understanding had been brutally breached once again.

However, this is not the end!

Under Elder Qin's stunned gaze, the several powerful phenomena did not conflict with each other, but instead, under the pull of an invisible force, began to slowly approach, intertwine, and merge!

Silver radiance, golden light, starlight, five-colored light... they permeated and merged with each other, and their individual colors gradually faded.

The attributes gradually neutralized, and eventually transformed into a profound, ancient, and seemingly originating and ending phenomenon—a silver-gray aura!

This airflow, though seemingly calm, contains an indescribable chaotic aura, as if it can both evolve the heavens and the earth and annihilate all things!

It quietly lingered around Yao Mengkang, making him appear even more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Chaotic... Chaotic Breath?!"

Elder Qin could no longer contain himself and cried out in shock, his voice trembling.

His facial muscles twitched violently, his expression completely failing him, screaming "outrageous!"

He had lived for several decades and had not only seen countless geniuses in the Eastern Region, but had also visited the Heavenly Dao Academy to witness the strongest group of prodigies on the entire continent.

I have read countless ancient classics, but I have never heard of anyone being able to draw upon the chaotic energy at the Meridian Opening Realm!

This is beyond his comprehension!

Elder Qin stared blankly at the figure shrouded in silvery-gray chaotic energy. After a long while, he swallowed hard and murmured:

"This kid... he might be the reincarnation of some ancient chaotic god or demon..."

The Starfall Platform remained silent, but the figure shrouded in chaotic energy on the platform seemed to be making a silent declaration.

An existence that defies common sense is slowly rising.
