Chapter 1207: Helping Kihin
Roan was still the helper. That’s why he offered to test it first. The solution, however, wasn’t the one found in the Ruins of Yaz. Instead, it was the one revised by Kihin himself. Not only that, he and Roan improved it even more.
Roan took the solution, which immediately spread through his body, especially his meridians. Following that, Roan got rid of all the Divine Soul Power inside them. Of course, he also closed his dantian and stopped his Soul Power from moving.
Only after all of that did he allow the mixed Starlights to enter his body. Sure enough, the solution immediately took effect and acted on the Starlights. They made their way into Roan’s own Dark Starlight while the solution acted. By the time the mix arrived at Roan’s natural Dark Starlight, it had already lost more than 80% of its oppression power.
Yes, the original solution was supposed to reduce the oppressive power by 50%. However, because Roan and Kihin wanted to use foreign Starlight Energy as just fuel, it had to be reduced even more. Eventually, Roan fed his own Dark Starlight with the Starlight Energy from other stars. To make sure it was the right call, Roan also moved the dwarf stars’ fused Starlights and kept them outside.
*Bzzzzzzzz*
Immediately, Roan felt a surge of power coming from his Dark Starlight. In fact, it was so strong that Roan had to immediately cut the source of energy by closing his meridians. If he continued, he felt the same thing would happen as it did when he used the World Essence, which could damage his Dark Starlight if he used it for too long.
Roan then took a deep breath and used his own Dark Element to wipe out the rest of the solution of his body. At the same time, he resumed the flow of Divine Soul Power through his meridians. “Alright, I’m done.”
Kihin’s eyes lit up in expectation. “So? How was it? Did it work?”
Roan faintly smiled as he nodded, saying, “It did. My own Starlight was able to use the weakened outside Starlights as fuel to increase its power for a small moment. However, I had to stop it straight away as it could have damaged my Starlight in the process.”
“Damaged?” Kihin was taken aback. “Then how can you say it worked?”
Roan then explained, “That’s because I had nowhere to use that extra power that my Dark Starlight received. I obviously couldn’t use it for the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique as it’s not the right Starlight. I also don’t need to attack a barrier anymore. With that being said, it was trapped inside my body, with no place to go. That’s why I stopped.”
Kihin understood after that. “I see…so you mean that I must first reach the barrier and only then take the solution and absorb the foreign Starlights to fuel my own. The moment that happens, I must use all that extra energy, which can’t be used for cultivation, on the barrier itself. I have to try and pierce through it.”
“Exactly.” Roan nodded. “However, I won’t force you to do it. In the end, this is a new path that no one knows about. No, to be more precise, this is a path that we don’t know about. I believe other powers of the Realm of Gods might have figured out something similar already.”
Kihin agreed with Roan. “Yes, but such powers could probably vaporize a continent like our Huring. Obviously, we can’t go out and try to ask them about it. First of all, even if we did, I don’t think we would ever get to find one of them. The Realm of Gods is just too big.”
Roan was satisfied that Kihin understood that principle. “Good! Whether you try it or not is up to you. Also, don’t forget what I told you. Traversing the barrier is one thing. Finding your own compatible star is a completely different one altogether. I don’t know if your own Starlight will detect its own star as it did with me.”
Kihin shook his head, saying, “Even if I can’t find it, I can still connect to one of the stars beyond the barrier. From what you said, their Starlights are several times better than the Starlights from behind, isn’t that right?”
“That’s correct,” Roan nodded.
Kihin then sat down while saying, “Don’t worry, whether it works or not, this method will not leave this room. At the very least, I won’t share it with someone unless I absolutely trust them. There are also the Soul Binding Contracts to guarantee that.”
Roan didn’t mind. “I told you before that if you decide you want to share this method, I won’t stop you. I’m just warning you that it might bring a calamity to your doorsteps if you do so.”
Kihin took the warning to heart. “Alright.” Soon after, he decided to give it a try. “I’ll enter the mental sea of stars now. Please stay here and prevent anyone from bothering me. I already told the workers outside about it, but I feel like it’s easier to trust someone that knows what’s happening.” He wasn’t lying. It had nothing to do with the Soul Binding Contract. Kihin simply felt like Roan was someone he could truly trust, which wasn’t wrong.
“Alright. Just be aware that I will need to leave once the Demising Catacombs open. If you aren’t back by then, I’ll have to leave you alone.”
“No problem.” Kihin then put all other thoughts behind and started.
Roan watched as the Divine Energy and Soul Power in Kihin’s body completely vanished. Obviously, he had started to use the Starlight Technique to enter the mental sea of stars. ‘If this works, it means we have found a method to break the barrier artificially. I wonder if this is a good or a bad thing.’
Roan then sat down and took some Divine Stones from his Spatial Ring. He knew just how long it would take for Kihin to reach the barrier in the first place, so he would stay in this room for a few weeks at the very least. Perhaps he would really need to leave before Kihin was back.
