Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 524 - 521 Seeking the Path

Even within the Immortal Path, the use of Star Power is extremely advanced, and only Earth Immortals can initially grasp its methods to harness its astonishing power.

Next, one merely needs to align with one's own Life Magnetic Field, and with the special wave formed by the Circulation Acupoint Resonance, find one's own Life Star among the vast stars.

Lu Ren slowly closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged atop Lingming Peak, calming his mind, emptying his spirit, using the Circulation Acupoint Resonance method to search for the elusive Life Star that aligns with his attributes among the overwhelmingly complex stars.

Such a task is undoubtedly harder than finding a needle in a haystack, yet it is something that must be done.

"The Power of the Stars comes from among the stars, and within them, there are many unimaginable existences. Be sure, be sure not to take the wrong step, as inviting them over could result in disastrous consequences beyond imagination."

Sun Wukong solemnly advised Ji Quanzhen, who was sitting cross-legged in the empty courtyard.

Ji Quanzhen impatiently replied: "Old monkey, you've said it more than a hundred times, my ears are growing calluses. Can't you just quiet down a bit?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Sun Wukong clenched and unclenched his fist, somewhat ruefully realizing he saw a shadow of his younger self in Ji Quanzhen.

Back when he was learning the path, he was even more impatient than Ji Quanzhen. Spiritual Apes naturally struggle to control their Monkey Mind, and even for Sun Wukong, it took nearly a thousand years to calm his mind.

Perhaps Ji Quanzhen's state of mind was once as tranquil as a spiritual platform, without the slightest fluctuation, but now his Constitution and thoughts have subtly begun to change, and the Monkey Mind within his thoughts has started to awaken again.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, steadied his thoughts, afraid that a single punch could trigger the True Spirit Contract, causing him to completely disintegrate.

After calming his emotions, he once again carefully instructed: "Remember, the various attributes of Star Power are extremely complex. Though your current Constitution has reached the qualification to receive it, it barely meets the threshold. You must carefully absorb a strand, then refine it into something you desire, thereby cleansing yourself and unlocking a shackle within you.

This shackle, I have named the Life Star."

Upon hearing this, Ji Quanzhen somewhat understood and asked with a furrowed brow: "Did you gain this experience through the Witchcraft Path?"

After all, he had studied the World Honored One's Heart Sutra, contemplated its True Intent, and had repeatedly reviewed the wonders of the Heart Sutra that Lu Ren once taught at the Huaxia Martial Arts Academy.

After achieving Great Witch, one then recognizes one's own Star Lord, becoming their Life Star.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately jumped, furious, and shouted: "How is this the Witchcraft Path? Even if witches utilize Star Power, fundamentally, it's vastly different. We harness the starlight, unleashing its ultimate brilliance, using the Immortal Path to illuminate the world, condensing flawless cultivation without needing to achieve the Taoism Fruit to rank among the Immortal Human. What a magnificent transformation this is."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong became excited, his gaze fervently fixed on Ji Quanzhen: "Now, begin your first step into a whole new world."

Ji Quanzhen couldn't help but look at the sparsely furred old monkey, asking: "Are you sure you don't want to try it yourself? After all, strictly speaking, your Physique is still of the Earth Immortal Rank and hasn't declined significantly. Your Physique could allow you to experiment many times."

"What do you understand? Without a foolproof plan, and no actual test data, even if I calculate it to perfection, there's no telling what errors might occur without practical application."

Ji Quanzhen couldn't help but retort: "So you're using this on me as practice?"

It's not that Ji Quanzhen was being coerced by Sun Wukong, rather he knew time wouldn't wait for him. Instead of standing still, it was better to move forward with the new methods Sun Wukong thought of, perhaps he could open a path.

Given his current strength, specializing in the World Honored One's Heart Sutra as elucidated by Lu Ren would take an extremely long time. Reaching the realm of Great Witch, much like the Immortal Path, requires many opportunities and cannot be achieved without great perseverance, courage, and fearlessness.

After all, this is an enhancement of life's essence, a dimension-shifting transition, and the immense power it entails signifies just how challenging it is.

Sun Wukong then loudly proclaimed: "Do you understand? Without my support and careful observation, how can this path be expanded upon?"

Ji Quanzhen: "..."

...

No way!!

Lu Ren suddenly opened his eyes, frowning as he sensed his body's constantly faintly glowing acupoints, subtly resonating and drawing upon the slightly thin star energy compared to the nighttime.

Though it was daytime and the star power began to sink slowly, it was still present. Now, the most powerful star energy came from the Great Sun hanging high above.

Despite being filtered into the essence of the Great Sun, it undoubtedly was the star closest to Lu Ren.

Regrettably, after thoroughly tuning in and sensing, that Great Sun offered him no response, like a frozen iceberg indifferent to his every gesture, remaining unmoved and unshaken.

For nearly a week, he had filtered through about ten million stars, but compared to the countless stars in the cosmos, even more numerous than grains of sand in the Ganges, it was an insignificant and tiny number.

How could he possibly draw near the Life Star that aligns with his attributes? The task now felt akin to playing hide and seek with a delicate lady in an infinitely vast space, where the hide and seek turned bizarre as the lady became a drop of seawater, completely merging into the ocean.

Fishing a drop of one's own water from the sea!?

Just thinking about this made Lu Ren feel utterly absurd, no wonder the Witchcraft Path utterly vanished, seeking one's Life Star felt more exasperating than finding a specific person among six billion.

This way was completely up to random chance — too crude, too wild.

Until this point had Lu Ren finally affirmed why the Witchcraft Path faded into historical oblivion. Although the Immortal Path pressured it, it also had its internal limitations.

At its core, it was its limitations. Otherwise, how could its teachings and heritage have vanished so quickly? Even without condensing the Taoism Fruit to achieve True Immortal Realm, the journey was unquestionably far more arduous than the Immortal Path.

The Extreme Realm is not easy to tread, the road to Body Ascension has been attempted by many in the Immortal Path, and as the most typical example, Sun Wukong also believed this path might be a dead-end.

After years of pondering, one can only resort to the Witchcraft Path's thinking, borrowing Starlight Infusion to break through shackles and form a Life Star, lighting it in the endless void, thus attaining the rank of True Immortal.
