As the thread of Solar Power entered Wei Chen's body, it brought with it a sense of comfort.
Stellar Power was inherently cold and yin, while Solar Power was perceived by the world as masculine and dominant. The two forces were entirely different, representing opposites.
Yet, Wei Chen had a lingering suspicion that stars were, in fact, suns—just suns that were much farther away. The light and heat from stars became extremely thin by the time they reached him due to the vast distance. In contrast, the sun was also a star; its proximity allowed its light and heat to be incredibly strong.
Wei Chen thought to himself, "My Stellar Technique has reached its peak, and I can no longer advance further. The only way forward is to draw Solar Power from the sun, right?"
"In the Stellar Technique, there is no clear indication that absorbing Solar Power is forbidden. Just now, when that thread of Solar Power entered my Dantian, I felt no discomfort at all."
"Perhaps as long as I control the quantity properly, Solar Power can also be absorbed and utilized?"
With this thought in mind, Wei Chen cautiously activated his Stellar Technique again and absorbed several strands of Solar Power into his Dantian.
As that strand of Solar Power entered his Dantian, Wei Chen distinctly felt the surrounding vigorous Stellar Power converge towards it. In an instant, it completely devoured the Solar Power.
Wei Chen relaxed and gradually accelerated his absorption of Solar Power. Within his Dantian, some marvelous changes began to occur.
It seemed that the Stellar Power had been nearly consumed. When the Solar Power entered, there was no longer any excess energy to devour it; instead, it made room for the Solar Power to "reside." The Stellar Power shrank back to one side, leaving half of the space for the Solar Power to slowly fill.
After a while, that half of the space was completely filled. The gaseous Solar Power began to transform into a liquid state.
Wei Chen remained motionless, absorbing Solar Power during the day and Stellar Power at night. Before he knew it, ten years had passed.
During these ten years, the Endless Divine Realm continued to expand. The number of Seventh-Level Divine Army troops surged dramatically. The Agricultural Sovereign had completely taken control of Shennong Ding, accelerating alchemy by several dozen times. It now took only about five days to refine one hundred thousand pills capable of shaping Seventh-Level Deities. The army's numbers had reached an astonishing three hundred million!
Unwilling to continue producing low-level pills, the Agricultural Sovereign began researching new pills designed for creating Eighth-Level Divine Realm powerhouses.
Meanwhile, on the Golden Mechanism side, the combat power of their warships grew increasingly formidable. Several powerful aerial fortresses had also been constructed, boasting astonishing combat capabilities.
In the entire Endless Divine Realm, countless powerful beings had broken through, having been suppressed by the Bloodshed Shop for far too long. After the formation was dismantled, they felt fresh air all around and opportunities for breakthroughs everywhere. Some Eighth Level Deities and even Ninth Level Deities emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, as if even Fate deemed the strength of the Endless Divine Realm too weak and needed to elevate some individuals.
The flourishing Endless Divine Realm gave everyone hope, but Wei Chen remained completely oblivious to it all.
He had set up a tight formation around himself, preventing anyone from approaching. Days and nights blended into one as he practiced, losing track of time.
He was wholly immersed in the absorption and compression of Solar Power, as if he had discovered a new world. He understood deeply that Solar Power would be a brand new combat strength that would greatly enhance him. It was not as simple as one plus one equals two; it was something more profound, an intricate transformation he could not fully comprehend.
At this moment, within his Dantian, Stellar Power and Solar Power each occupied half of the space. They did not infringe upon each other but also did not appear overly intimate; they coexisted peacefully.
Under the impetus of Stellar Technique, the two distinctly different powers began to converge in their intersection. In that area of convergence, the two forces gradually merged and flowed together, forming a curve.
Eventually, both Stellar Power and Solar Power were compressed to their limits. At their respective midpoint, two solid essence cores appeared—one silver and one red—each following its own operational rhythm, driving the surrounding liquid Stellar Power and Solar Power to slowly rotate.
A marvelous Taiji Bagua Diagram took shape within Wei Chen's Dantian.
As Wei Chen gazed inward and saw that Taiji Bagua Diagram, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Taiji Bagua Diagram? Isn't this what I learned from those Dao practitioners in the Nine Immortal Realm?"
"Could it be that the Dao practitioners of the Nine Immortal Realm hold the true path of cultivation?"
"Those Dao practitioners always claimed their path was endless and orthodox. Now it seems there is some truth to it; even Stellar Power and Solar Power can ultimately combine into a Taiji Bagua Diagram. How peculiar."
With his eyes closed, Wei Chen silently urged Stellar Technique to operate. He noticed that the Taiji Bagua Diagram in his Dantian radiated gentle power as it spun, releasing a unique force interwoven with silver and red that pierced through every part of his body.
Every cell and every bone within him received dozens of times enhancement under that force.
To Wei Chen, this process felt incredibly swift; however, in reality, it was excruciatingly slow. By the time that force had "pierced" through every part of his body, several months had passed. Yet in Wei Chen's perception, it had only been a few seconds.
The first full-body piercing had enhanced Wei Chen's physical refinement by more than tenfold.
Now, as Wei Chen stood there striking at the Eleventh Level Deity, he realized that without using Divine Skills, relying solely on his strength was utterly ineffective.
Wei Chen gently clenched his fist, feeling an explosive power within him, as if a single punch could shatter a mountain.
"The fusion of Stellar Power and Solar Power into the Taiji Bagua Diagram has granted me a strength I never imagined before. The two completely different attributes have merged within me. Could this be the true method of cultivating the Stellar Technique?"
With this thought in mind, Wei Chen sent out several strands of divine consciousness into the void.
Soon, seven figures appeared before him: Donghua Sword Immortal, Great Merchant God King, Shaohuang God King, Taihao God King, Sui Huang, Zhuanxu, and Agricultural Sovereign. They had all come from the Ancient World and practiced the Stellar Technique.
They looked at Wei Chen with strange expressions, sensing some changes in his body but unable to discern exactly what those changes were. All they knew was that it was a positive transformation.
Under their watchful gazes, Wei Chen remained seated in a cross-legged position. He slightly raised his head to glance at the seven of them and smiled. "How is your practice of the Stellar Technique going?"
Each of them reported on their progress with the Stellar Technique. As usual, Great Merchant God King was the most suited for practicing it and had already gained control over millions of stars. The others varied; Shaohuang God King was the least dedicated to his training, merely focusing on enhancing his physical toughness to withstand attacks during battles. He had barely reached the level of Ascend to Godhood and could control a few thousand stars. The rest were managing between one hundred thousand to several hundred thousand stars.
Wei Chen frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and said lightly, "Why so slow?"
The others dared not speak. At that moment, Wei Chen exuded an aura that felt almost natural yet imposing. When he frowned, it seemed as if the world itself changed color. Even Shaohuang God King, known for his swordsmanship, felt an overwhelming urge to remain silent before Wei Chen.
It appeared that Wei Chen had transcended their understanding and reached a deeper level of mastery.
This level was not merely about surpassing the Twelfth Level Divine Realm; rather, through his cultivation of the Stellar Technique using Stellar Power and Solar Power, Wei Chen's understanding of the technique was far more profound than what they recognized. Otherwise, they wouldn't feel such an unspoken pressure from his presence.
No one could fathom what level of mastery Wei Chen had achieved in the Stellar Technique. Standing before him, they felt anxious and uneasy. They lowered their heads, unable to meet his gaze, as if sitting before them was not just a person but an ancient sage.
Wei Chen sighed helplessly and said, "In the Endless Divine Realm, many are cultivating Divine Power levels, but only a few of us are practicing Stellar Power. This means that Stellar Power is boundless; there is no competition for us. Therefore, your progress with the Stellar Technique seems rather slow."
Hearing Wei Chen's criticism, everyone was at a loss for words. They weren't being lazy or slow; they had genuinely hit a bottleneck and could not continue their cultivation. Aside from Shaohuang God King, who could still practice the Stellar Technique, the rest had reached their respective limits.
Great Merchant God King forced a smile and said, "My lord, we have all encountered a bottleneck in our Stellar Technique and can no longer make any progress. If we could continue cultivating, we would certainly work hard at it. Who wouldn't want to become stronger?"
Wei Chen shook his head and replied, "Right now, you can only handle opponents from the Seventh-Level Deity to the Eighth Level Divine Realm. If you encounter someone stronger, you're done for. Remember, cultivation has no limits, and neither does the Stellar Technique."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, everyone fell silent. They quietly looked at him, thinking that he must have called them all here for a reason; surely he had some new method that could help them break through their Stellar Technique.
Just then, they were astonished to see a sphere of silver Stellar Power appear in Wei Chen's left hand, while his right hand held a blazing sphere of red Solar Power.
Everyone was shocked. Could it be that Wei Chen's breakthrough in the Stellar Technique relied on cultivating Solar Power?
Wei Chen smiled slightly and said, "During this time, I've been here absorbing Solar Power during the day and Stellar Power at night. Now my Dantian is saturated with both types of power. Although Solar Power and Stellar Power are different attributes, at their core, they are essentially the same."
The crowd was puzzled. To them, Stellar Power and Solar Power were completely opposite—one cold and dark, the other warm and bright. How could these two forces possibly merge?
Wei Chen stood up and pointed to the red sun high in the sky, casually asking, "What do you see there?"
"The sun!"
Wei Chen nodded lightly, his expression strange as he surveyed the group before shaking his head gently and saying, "What you see is indeed the sun. But have you ever considered that the sun is also a type of star?"
