Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Star Body Second Layer

Chu Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the continuous influx of Star Power into his Dantian, beginning to circulate it madly.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly shouted, ”Something’s wrong!”

This was because Chu Lin noticed that the Star Power in his Dantian seemed out of control and began coursing into his meridians, a phenomenon he had experienced once before.

The First Layer of the Star Body had appeared unconsciously like this, and now this phenomenon indicated that the Star Power was preparing to cultivate the body once again.

Although this was a good thing, a dream come true for many, right now, for Chu Lin, it was a stroke of bad luck.

No one knew how long it would take to reach the Second Layer of the Star Body, the danger it brought was minor, but exceeding the time in the Star Chamber was a major issue.

Chu Lin had only one day left to place three Star Stones into the altar’s groove, or his life would be in danger.

If this Second Layer took two days or longer, wouldn’t he be doomed? Unless someone helped him place the Star Stones into the altar’s groove, which was simply impossible.

”What to do?” This was what Chu Lin feared most in his heart.

He tried desperately to move the Star Power wandering in his meridians back to his Dantian, but the Star Power seemed uncontrollable, the more he tried to control it, the faster it flowed.

”Sister Yue’Er, please help me!” At this point, Chu Lin could only rely on the Sword Spirit.

”Lin Feng, should I say you’re lucky or really a jinx? The Second Layer of the Star Body appears at such a time,” Sword Spirit Yue’er said with helplessness.

The first four layers of the Star Body appeared without warning; only by reaching the Fifth Layer could one deliberately breakthrough.

”Is there a way? If there’s a way to place the Star Stones in the groove, I think this Second Layer should be no problem, but if I enter the Second Layer state and run out of time, it’s over,” Chu Lin said anxiously.

After a long time, the Sword Spirit said, ”Maybe there’s a way to help you, but whether it’s good or ill, I can’t say. This Star Chamber is indeed remarkable; the person who built it was a genius.”

Hearing there was hope, Chu Lin immediately asked, ”Quick, tell me what the way is?”

”The altar’s grooves are three, each groove can hold three Star Stones simultaneously, pile the Star Stones from your body on top of the groove.

When the energy of the first three Star Stones runs out, others will naturally fall into the groove, allowing you to persist for several days, but your Star Stones will deplete faster,” the Sword Spirit said slowly.

Hearing this non-solution, Chu Lin was speechless, but there was no better way.

”Star Stones can be replaced, but once lost, everything is gone. I’ll listen to you!” said Chu Lin, standing up.

At this moment, the Star Power in his body swirled faster in his meridians, and the pain began to manifest.

Chu Lin gritted his teeth and walked to the altar, taking out all the Low Grade Star Stones from his Storage Belt, leaving only the Middle Grade ones, placing all on the three groove positions.

”This should last for several days, right?” Chu Lin said helplessly.

Honestly, he felt pained over those Star Stones, as they were something many academies couldn’t accumulate over several years.

After descending the altar, he stood under the light cast by the Big Dipper-like star points, absorbing Star Power.

”Come on! Today I’ll see how strong you are; this pain from the Second Layer of the Star Body is nothing to me,” a high-spirited thought emerged in his mind.

As time passed, the Star Power within Chu Lin grew, the meridian-contained Star Power madly tearing apart his meridians.

After the First Layer of the Star Body, his meridians had become tougher, making destruction more challenging, naturally deepening the pain.

Beads of sweat constantly dripped from his face, but Chu Lin persisted.

He didn’t know how long had passed when a popping sound came from within, and an unprecedented intense pain surged through his nerves.

At this moment, all his meridians ruptured, and the Star Power began to destroy his muscles and bones as it had before.

Such an agonizing feeling almost made Chu Lin faint, ”Lin Feng, hold on; if you endure, the Second Layer of the Star Body will be successful.

The Second Layer can withstand a full-force blow from a First-Level Earth Martial Realm martial artist without harm,” the Sword Spirit reminded.

”I can’t sleep; I must persist! Ruoxi’s mark isn’t lifted yet, and mother is still in deep trouble; I need to be strong!” Chu Lin roared, enduring the agony.

With endless Star Power pouring into his body, relying on sheer willpower, Chu Lin held through, though at this moment he was unrecognizable.

None of his muscles, meridians, or bones remained intact, with blood staining the ground red, now unable to move, only his heart beating.

”Lin Feng, your tenacity is incredible; having such low strength yet passing the Second Layer of the Star Body is unbelievable,” the Sword Spirit’s voice came.

”If not, I’d have crossed that Naihe Bridge already! My whole body hurts, when will I recover?” Chu Lin thought resentfully.

Although he succeeded, there was no joy; such pain was akin to climbing a mountain of swords and plunging into a sea of flames, unforgettable for a lifetime.

Chu Lin lay on the ground, slowly inspecting the changes in his body, as time passed, the pain lessened, while his meridians, muscles, and bones rapidly healed.

The meridians were the first to heal, slowly mending under the influence of Star Power.

After the meridians healed, the muscles and bones began healing as well, the entire process lasting nearly a day.

”Refreshing! It’s really a mixture of pain and pleasure!” exhaled Chu Lin with a smile.

”You’re indeed a monster, reaching the Second Layer of the Star Body without having achieved the Earth Martial Realm; though passively done, this enduring pain was monumental.”

Chu Lin now felt filled with strength, ”It’s time to break through the Sixth Layer of the Black Tortoise Realm and form the Earth Core Pill!”

He sensed the Star Power in his Dantian growing more vast, nearly tangible.

Suddenly, a fluctuation appeared on the altar, and the pile of Star Stones on the grooves decreased by more than half, followed by the peculiar orb on the stand spinning rapidly.

A beam of light several times larger than before shot to the chamber’s top, and the Big Dipper-like star points cast down even stronger Star Power.

”Lin Feng, quickly absorb this Star Power; whether you can directly break through to the Earth Martial Realm depends on this!” Sword Spirit Yue’er exclaimed anxiously...
