High Martial: I Grind Professions

Chapter 502: Chapter 316: Breakthrough, Primordial Spirit Star Lord

Although it was deliberately restrained, to the elite students in the square, this aura was like a lighthouse in the dead of night!

WHOOSH—!

Instantly, an irrepressible wave of gasps and sharp intakes of breath erupted across the square.

”The Time Law! Such a clear aura!”

”This fluctuation... it’s even stronger than last time! Is he really about to master the basics?!”

”A monster... he really is a monster! Four hours, and he’s made so much progress!”

”...”

All discussions quickly died down at the sound of Li Wen’s footsteps.

All that remained were countless gazes filled with awe, astonishment, and adoration, all focused on this peerless genius who was destined to one day shake the cosmos.

Li Wen seemed oblivious to the surrounding gazes and chatter, his expression as tranquil as still water.

After leaving the Time Tower, Li Wen didn’t linger for a moment.

In a flash, his figure crossed the base’s vast expanse, arriving directly at the square where the Soul Origin Tower stood.

More than mastering the basics of the Time Law, he was confident that today was the day his Primordial Spirit would break through to the Star Lord level.

It was a tremor originating from the depths of his soul, a powerful premonition that his ten-thousand-zhang-tall Primordial Spirit manifestation was on the verge of completion—the breakthrough would be today!

In the square before the Soul Origin Tower, students were either sitting in quiet meditation or conversing in hushed tones.

However, when Li Wen’s figure materialized silently before the tower, not a single person noticed his arrival.

It was as if he belonged there, perfectly integrated with his surroundings and the very flow of time.

This was a testament to his continuous study of the Time Law, his Body Technique growing increasingly unpredictable and ghost-like.

The training chamber he had booked in advance sensed his arrival, and its heavy doors slid open without a sound.

Li Wen stepped inside, and the doors shut behind him, completely sealing off the noise from the outside world.

’Time to begin.’ Li Wen sat down cross-legged, the sharp glint in his eyes receding, leaving only pure clarity and anticipation.

Within his sea of consciousness, the colossal Primordial Spirit manifestation stood, its height already infinitely close to the ten-thousand-zhang limit.

The formless, intangible barrier was clearly palpable.

With a single thought, his Primordial Spirit cultivation officially began.

In the center of his sea of consciousness, the towering Primordial Spirit manifestation snapped its eyes open, and within them, stars seemed to be born and die.

It inhaled sharply through its mouth and nose!

In that instant, the spiritual energy in the Soul Origin Tower’s training chamber, so pure it had condensed into a hazy mist, was drawn in with frantic speed, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

A majestic torrent of energy flooded into his sea of consciousness.

On one hand, it expanded the boundaries of his sea of consciousness at a visible rate, making it vaster and more profound.

On the other, it continuously merged into the Primordial Spirit manifestation.

The Primordial Spirit manifestation began to glow with a gentle, sacred radiance as every inch of its skin and every line on its form grew more solid and distinct.

With the continuous infusion of energy, its massive body, already infinitely close to the ten-thousand-zhang mark, finally began to ascend at a slow but steady pace toward its final height.

Each imperceptible bit of growth was accompanied by a slight tremor in his sea of consciousness.

It was as if his entire spiritual world was cheering and resonating with the impending transformation.

In deep meditation, time lost all meaning.

An unknown amount of time passed—perhaps several hours of deep cultivation. Then, suddenly, his sea of consciousness shook violently!

The towering Primordial Spirit manifestation had finally reached a height of exactly ten thousand zhang!

An indescribable sense of completeness instantly flooded Li Wen’s entire soul.

In that very instant, a strange phenomenon occurred!

Behind the head of the Primordial Spirit manifestation, a dazzling, almost tangible halo materialized from thin air!

This halo was formed from the purest spiritual energy, and it emanated a sacred, solemn, and immortal aura.

It made the ten-thousand-zhang Primordial Spirit manifestation resemble a deity descending upon the mortal world—solemn, dignified, and incomparably majestic!

This was the direct physical manifestation of the Primordial Spirit’s breakthrough to the Star Lord Level, a leap in life’s hierarchy—the Primordial Divine Ring!

The appearance of this divine ring signified that the Primordial Spirit had officially entered the realm of a Star Lord.

Immediately following this, an even more critical and fundamental transformation began: the qualitative metamorphosis of Primordial Spirit power into Wish Power!

Within his sea of consciousness, the Primordial Spirit power, which had once surged like a mighty river, began to change from its very core.

Wisps and strands of a new energy, glowing with a golden radiance, began to emerge—this was Wish Power.

Like refined gold newly forged in a furnace, it rapidly began to replace the original Primordial Spirit power.

This process didn’t happen overnight. It was as meticulous as drawing silk from a cocoon, yet as inexorable as a single spark starting a wildfire.

Slowly but surely, it swept through the entire sea of consciousness, completely transforming and refining the vast reserves of Primordial Spirit power.

The transformation continued for a full half-hour.

When the final wisp of Primordial Spirit power had been converted into pure, golden Wish Power, his entire sea of consciousness seemed to be coated in a sacred, lustrous sheen.

At its center, the ten-thousand-zhang Primordial Spirit manifestation stood with the divine ring hanging high behind its head.

With its every move, it seemed capable of commanding the Laws of the cosmos and dominating an entire world of the mind.

Haaa... In the real world, Li Wen’s eyes, which had been shut for a long time, slowly fluttered open.

Deep within his pupils, a divine golden light seemed to flash before vanishing, replaced by a profound calm.

”Finally, I’ve reached the Star Lord Level,” he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of satisfaction and deep emotion.

He carefully savored the earth-shattering changes in his sea of consciousness. It was a fundamental elevation, a quantum leap in his degree of control.

’So this is Wish Power? It feels... immeasurably stronger. It’s as if my very soul now has the power to shape reality.’

With a flicker of his thought, a long saber—dark gold in color, with a design both simple and fluid—materialized in the training chamber.

This saber was named ”Ghost Shadow.” It was a Tier One Star Lord Level Primordial Spirit Dharma Artifact that he had spent a staggering three million Primordial Stones to acquire in advance, specifically for this moment.

As the Ghost Shadow saber hovered in mid-air, a stream of pure, golden Wish Power shot into it at Li Wen’s mental command.
