Open the astrological chart deep within your soul
In an instant, Ye Chen felt as if he had suddenly arrived in the boundless starry sky.
The once empty, dark sky with only a few stars has disappeared, replaced by a colossal dragon of stars stretching as far as the eye can see, lying across the heavens.
Unlike a real dragon, this crimson starry sky dragon has only one horn on its head...
"Huh? I didn't expect that after obtaining the Star Essence Chart, the previously lit Star Souls would actually revert back to Star Essence..."
Looking at his detailed attribute description, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Name: Ye Chen
Age: 13 years old
Realm: Three-Star Great Dou Master
Star Essence: 47+310
Star Soul: 0 points (Note: Special hidden Star Soul, primary Fire, secondary Wood.)
精：100；气：100；神：50；速：50；力：100
Star Chart: Unicorn Fire Spirit Dragon
星域图：龙首星域（内含10位星宫）、左前龙爪（内含8位星宫）、右前龙爪（内含8位星宫）、左后龙爪（内含8位星宫）、右后龙爪（内含8位星宫）、龙尾星域（内含7位星宫）、龙脊星域（内含12位星宫）
Star Domain Skill: None
Star Orbit Technique: None
When star fields and star tracks are connected, star track skills can be generated; when the same star field is fully upgraded, star field skills can be obtained.
His two fundamental physical attributes, essence and qi, have increased tenfold compared to when he didn't have the Star Chart! His divine attribute has also increased fivefold...
Ye Chen believed that the reason why the divine attribute increased less was because the unicorn fire spirit dragon was a magical beast known for its physique and energy, so the improvement in physical attributes was stronger than that in the soul!
In addition to the three basic attributes of essence, energy, and spirit, two more basic attributes have appeared: "speed" representing speed and "strength" representing power.
It can be said that after completing the Star Chart, Ye Chen received a comprehensive improvement!
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Continuous Breakthroughs
Having obtained the Star Chart, my physical aptitude instantly increased tenfold!
Ye Chen felt like he was now a humanoid monster; a casual punch or kick, relying solely on physical strength, was more powerful than his previous full-force attack.
Although his cultivation level had not improved, Ye Chen was confident that his combat power was now no less than that of a high-level Dou Ling!
Besides these basic changes in physical attributes, the Star Map that Ye Chen had been most looking forward to has also been activated...
The dragon's head, limbs, tail, and spine comprise seven star regions and sixty-one star palaces.
Lighting up each star palace not only enhances various abilities, but also unlocks star orbit skills and star domain skills if you have enough star palaces.
Although the four points of star essence that were previously lit have disappeared, they have been restored as star essence, so Ye Chen can now light up the four points of star palace at any time.
"If the four stars are connected, the power of the resulting Star Orbit Technique will be equivalent to a low-level Xuan-rank combat technique, which is better than nothing," Ye Chen thought to himself.
And so on.
Within the same star field, connecting four stars yields a Star Orbit Technique with power comparable to a low-level Profound Rank combat skill; connecting six stars elevates the Star Orbit Technique to a mid-level Profound Rank; eight stars to a high-level Profound Rank; ten stars to a low-level Earth Rank; eleven stars to a mid-level Earth Rank; twelve stars to a high-level Earth Rank; and reaching fourteen stars brings the Star Orbit Technique to a low-level Heaven Rank, fifteen stars to a mid-level Heaven Rank, and sixteen stars to a high-level Heaven Rank…
The more star palaces a star field has, the more powerful the star orbit techniques it can obtain... Similarly, the star field techniques that come later will naturally be more powerful!
Unfortunately, the number of star palaces is closely related to the level of the star map.
Although the Unicorn Fire Spirit Dragon has a powerful bloodline and its star map is considered relatively advanced, it still only has a maximum of twelve star palaces within the Dragon Spine Star Region.
In other words, if the Unicorn Fire Spirit Dragon is used as the star map, the strongest star track technique can only reach the level of a high-level Earth-rank combat technique, and it is impossible to break through to the Heaven-rank.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen still felt a little disappointed.
There was nothing he could do. At his current level, it was already a stroke of luck for him to obtain a magical beast of the level of the One-Horned Fire Spirit Dragon. He could only wait until he reached the Pill Tower to get something of a higher level.
Next, let's focus on illuminating the four constellations that I can light up first...
After some thought, Ye Chen had originally planned to choose the Dragon Spine Star Region as the first star region he would illuminate. However, according to the different star regions marked on the Star Chart, the Dragon Spine Star Region would primarily enhance physical abilities, while being weaker in areas such as soul power, soul control, and fire control. This made him hesitate.
With Ye Chen's physical aptitude having increased tenfold, it's enough to support him breaking through to the Dou Zun level in the shortest possible time. Therefore, what he needs to improve most right now is his soul power and control...
In these aspects, Longshou Xingyu has made the most significant improvements.
"Well, never mind. I'm an alchemist, and the most important things for an alchemist are soul power and control. There's no need to rush other aspects for now..." Ye Chen comforted himself.
As a traditional alchemist, who would normally roll up their sleeve and go into battle...?
Select the Dragon Head Star Region, start directly from the three star palaces on the unicorn, and click on the spot right in the center of the forehead. All four Dragon Head Star Palaces will be lit up.
Then look at your own attributes
Name: Ye Chen
Age: 13 years old
Realm: Three-Star Great Dou Master

Star Essence: 47
Star Soul: 4 points (Note: Special hidden Star Soul, primary Fire, secondary Wood.)
精：100；气：100；神：50+10；速：50；力：100；技：10；控魂：20；控火：30
Star Chart: Unicorn Fire Spirit Dragon
星域图，龙首星域（内含10位星宫，已点亮四位星宫）、左前龙爪（内含8位星宫）、右前龙爪（内含8位星宫）、左后龙爪（内含8位星宫）、右后龙爪（内含8位星宫）、龙尾（内含7位星宫）、龙脊（内含12位星宫）
Star Domain Skill: None
Star Trail Skill: Dragon Flame Song. Lighting up three stars will condense a fire dragon to attack. After that, lighting up each star palace will condense a fire dragon. After ten stars are lit up, eight fire dragons can be condensed to attack the enemy.
When star fields and star tracks are connected, star track skills can be generated; when the same star field is fully upgraded, star field skills can be obtained.
It adds 10 points to Divine Power, 10 points to Skill, and also 20 points to Soul Control and 30 points to Fire Control. It can be said that after acquiring the Unicorn Fire Spirit Dragon Star Chart, the ability boost from each illuminated Star Soul increases significantly.
As for this newly emerging attribute "skill", Ye Chen prefers to call it "comprehension", which is an attribute that affects the speed of cultivating techniques and fighting skills, and even learning pill formulas.
Having lit up the four star palaces, Ye Chen successfully activated his Dragon Head Star Domain's Star Orbit Technique, although its power was not yet very strong.
But launching a fire dragon attack directly still looks very cool and intimidating.
Well, the next thing to consider is improving my cultivation level!
"Elder Hu, I'm going into seclusion for a period of cultivation. Don't let anything disturb me!" Ye Chen opened his eyes and solemnly instructed Hu Tian.
Hu Tian naturally understood Ye Chen's urgency at this moment. After all, with such a rare treasure as the Dragon Essence in hand, if he didn't quickly consume it and make it his own, would he just leave it for the New Year?
"Don't worry, young master. You can focus on your seclusion. With me here, nothing will be able to disturb you!"
The place they were in was not a dangerous place to begin with, and there were no particularly powerful magical beasts living around it, so having Hu Tian, a half-step Dou Zong, protecting them was enough.
With Hu Tian's assurance, Ye Chen didn't delay any longer. He looked at the fist-sized dragon essence in his hand, opened his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp...
It's not that Ye Chen's mouth is that big, but that although the Dragon Essence looks like a round crystal that is indestructible, it instantly transforms into a stream of pure energy after entering his mouth and flows down his throat into his stomach.
boom!
Like a volcanic eruption, Ye Chen unleashed a terrifying aura in an instant, his entire body radiating a crimson light, with tiny flames even emerging from his pores, turning him into a little fire man...
In other words, the Dou Qi Continent is a fantasy world, not a martial arts world; otherwise, Ye Chen would probably have transformed into a dragon by now.
Moreover, after the Star Domain Map's tenfold enhancement, Ye Chen's physical strength was also greatly improved. Even though the Dragon Essence contained terrifying energy, it was still within his tolerance range.
After only a moment of chaos, Ye Chen, relying on his powerful control over battle qi, directly controlled the energy flow that was running rampant in his meridians. He then guided it to circulate according to the Heavenly Yang Profound Fire Technique, and finally quickly merged it into his dantian and integrated it into the battle crystal within his body.
In an instant, Ye Chen's aura surged rapidly, and his cultivation level broke through quickly.
Chapter 40 Advancing to Battle Spirit
Under the influx of the dragon essence's enormous energy, the battle crystal in Ye Chen's dantian, which was originally the size of a pigeon egg, began to grow at a visible speed.
Staring in astonishment at the rapidly increasing battle crystal, Ye Chen could clearly feel that the battle qi stored within it was also multiplying. At this rate, breaking through to the ninth-star Great Battle Master would be an easy task.
"boom!"
As energy relentlessly surged forth, at a certain moment, an extremely faint, crisp sound finally rang out within Ye Chen's body...
As the crisp sound rang out, Ye Chen discovered that the battle crystal, which had already reached its limit, now had an extremely large capacity again!
Under this strange sound, the battle crystal, which had already expanded from the size of a pigeon egg to the size of a chicken egg, suddenly expanded to the size of a fist, and a dazzling light continuously surged out, illuminating the vortex as if it were daytime.
Feeling the various changes within his body, Ye Chen took a deep breath. He was familiar with this feeling, as he had experienced it many times before...
"Having broken through one star again, I am now a nine-star Grand Dou Master..."
Ye Chen was quite excited.
After all, it hadn't been long since he went into seclusion, but in that short time, his cultivation level had even surpassed that of the past five years!
At this moment, if he takes just one more step forward, he will be able to enter the Dou Ling rank!
Fighting Spirits!
Although he's still just a nobody in a place like Zhongzhou, a Dou Ling who's not even fourteen years old is no small feat!
Perhaps because of the sudden expansion of the Battle Crystal, Ye Chen noticed that the original feeling of fullness within the Battle Crystal had become much emptier again...
With a thought, the pure energy circulating in his meridians surged directly into the empty battle crystal, quickly filling it with energy once again.
He sensed the remaining dragon essence energy within his body; less than one-tenth of it had been consumed…
This is the most refined energy accumulated by a peak sixth-tier magical beast over many years. If it were fully refined, even a Douhuang expert could easily be upgraded by one or two stars.
This is also the main reason why Lin Yuheng went to such lengths...
But Ye Chen was originally just a Great Dou Shi. If he could completely refine the energy of this Dragon Essence, he could immediately break through to Dou Wang!
Unfortunately, even with the purity of the Dragon Essence, a breakthrough spanning two major realms would inevitably lead to an unstable foundation as a consequence.
Unless Ye Chen intends to stay in the Ye family and diligently cultivate to consolidate his foundation for the next few years after breaking through to the Dou Wang level, he would never dare to be so reckless.
This is exactly what Hu Tian, who was guarding nearby, was worried about.
He was also secretly regretting that he should have reminded the young master earlier that such a large leap in skill level would only do harm and no good for cultivation...
Unfortunately, the promotion has already begun, and everything depends on whether Ye Chen can resist the temptation!
Amidst these worries, Hu Tian only saw his young master's cultivation progress smoothly, breaking through the shackles of the Great Dou Master and Dou Ling levels, and then continuing to advance with unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this, Hu Tian's worries deepened. They had already reached the sixth-star Dou Ling level. Did the young master intend to break through to Dou Wang level all the way?
If that's the case, then things are really going to be bad!
However, to his relief, Ye Chen was clearly not that reckless. After reaching the Seven-Star Dou Ling level, the latter's aura finally stopped increasing and began to decline, eventually falling to the level of a First-Rank Dou Ling...
"Thank goodness, thank goodness I wasn't blinded by the power..." Hu Tian thought to himself with relief as he watched Ye Chen trying to suppress the energy within his body.
Thus, Ye Chen's cultivation level fluctuated continuously, hovering between the first-level Dou Ling and the seventh-level Dou Ling, while the sweat on his forehead increased and his complexion began to change.
After an unknown amount of time, finally...
Ye Chen's cultivation level stabilized at the four-star Dou Ling level, neither declining nor increasing further.
"Thump, thump...!"
A series of low, muffled sounds echoed slowly within his body, eventually aligning perfectly with the beating of Ye Chen's own heart.
The sound actually came from Ye Chen's battle crystal, which had undergone a complete transformation!
The moment these two pulses completely merged, the sea urchin crystal within Ye Chen's cyclone trembled violently, and an extremely powerful energy ripple suddenly spread out from it!
The energy ripples passed through the cyclone, meridians, and bones without any hindrance, and finally burst forth through the skin!
Inside the cave, Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp, piercing light shot out...
A powerful aura burst forth from his body. As the aura surged, Ye Chen suddenly tilted his head back and let out a clear roar, carrying powerful battle qi, which resounded like thunder in the cave!
"boom!"
As the clear whistle rang out, powerful energy ripples burst forth, and in an instant, sparks flew everywhere. The cave where Ye Chen was located was instantly ignited by silver flames, which then quickly swept across the entire cave.
As the flames flickered, a dark figure slowly emerged from them, finally standing tall and proud, his handsome face filled with confidence and arrogance.
