Li Yuan listened to Li Yang’s words and looked towards the Pillar of Spirit.

This method of cultivating spiritual power was indeed unique.

Previously, when Li Yuan was in Jiang City, he had never heard of such a thing.

After all, spiritual power isn’t visible or tangible like physical strength, and it’s not easy to enhance.

“Spiritual power is very important.”

“You must have a deep understanding of this,” Li Yang said, “The stronger the spiritual power, the better control over the body and the easier it is to cultivate skills.”

Li Yuan nodded lightly; the speed at which his skills improved.

Apart from his natural comprehension, the rapid increase in his spiritual power was the most important reason, without a doubt.

With strong spiritual power, perception, calculation, and understanding capabilities would continuously improve.

In a way, it’s like enhancing one’s comprehension.

“But it’s difficult to improve spiritual power,” Li Yang explained to Li Yuan, “The first method is the cultivation of the flesh. The body nourishes the spirit; the stronger the body, the stronger the spirit it will nourish.”

“Like 19th Rank Martial Artists, their spiritual power is at least of the 17th or 18th Rank standard.”

“The second method is using treasures to nurture the spirit, from the most common Spirit Nourishing Potions to the precious Divine-Nurturing Spring, and even some Heavenly Materials Treasures like Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, Sweet Spirit Core Crystal, and so on,” Li Yang said, “The thing is, low-level medicinal effects are mediocre and costly, while the good Heavenly Materials Treasures are not only expensive but also scarce.”

Li Yuan pondered.

Sweet Spirit Core Crystal? It sounded somewhat similar to Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, at least they both include ‘Marrow Crystal’ in their names.

As for Spirit Nourishing Potion? Li Yuan had heard about it from his uncle Li Changzhou.

If one uses the basic ones, it’s 30,000 Blue Star Coins a dose.

If it’s a First Rank Spirit Nourishing Potion, it’s even more expensive – 100,000 Blue Star Coins each, and at least three bottles per month, costing several million Blue Star Coins a year. Only long-term use for several years would significantly help one advance to a Prime Warrior.

“The third method is the Mind Method,” Li Yang continued, “It’s difficult to cultivate spiritual power because spirits are ethereal and it’s difficult to exert pressure on the consciousness.”

“If there is an unsurpassable strong being beyond the Flying Heaven level, or some Flying Heaven Warriors who are proficient in this method and are willing to leave a trace of their spiritual imprint in the spirit, constantly oppressing it, this can have a polishing effect,” Li Yang said with a smile, “It’s just, to do this without damaging weaker warriors and still leave the spiritual imprint is very difficult, requiring at least half a day each time.”

“Over time, the imprints will gradually dissipate, at most lasting two or three months.”

“The imprints must be consistently applied over a long period.”

“Unless one is a very close relative, or an extremely favored direct disciple, who could ask those top-level strong beings to go to such trouble?” Li Yang said, shaking his head.

Li Yuan couldn’t help but nod.

So there was such a method of spiritual cultivation in human civilization, the Mind Method?

Too bad the requirements were too high; it was doomed not to be widely utilized.

“Of course.”

“Legend has it, there is an even more powerful method than the Mind Method, known as the Visualization Method,” Li Yang said with a smile, “It is said to have been brought over from some extremely strong Foreign Civilizations, but it has never been confirmed. I’ve only heard of it, so I don’t understand the specifics.”

Li Yuan maintained a calm exterior while his heart stirred with a tumult of surprise.

The Visualization Method?

The “Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture” that he was practicing seemed to be the Visualization Method.

However, the practice was very demanding.

Li Yuan had tried practicing solely with the spoken mantra but found it useless.

He had to concentrate his spirit in the ‘Jade Platform of the Great Sun’ within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace to enter the state of visualization, which killed the idea of passing it on to his family members.

“The Pillar of Spirit at my Kunlun Martial University.”

“You can think of it as a weakened version, a wide-ranging ‘Mind Method.’ Although its effects are not as strong as the specialized Mind Method, as long as one is within the influence of the Pillar of Spirit, they can be polished,” Li Yang said with some pride, “Across the entire Blue Star, only Starfire University and Kunlun Martial University possess a Pillar of Spirit.”

“Even Starry Sky Martial University and Blackstone Martial University don’t have it,” Li Yang said.

“Impressive,” Li Yuan remarked sincerely.

Cultivation resources would eventually be exhausted.

But treasures like the Pillar of Spirit, which could be passed down from generation to generation, no wonder it’s known as the number one treasure of Kunlun Martial University, a true cornerstone of the legacy.

“Okay, you must have mostly adapted by now,” Li Yang said, “Keep moving forward and try, let’s see how far you can go now.”

“There are nine layers in total. The pressure is strongest in the ninth layer, weakest in the first layer.”

“Yes,” Li Yuan nodded his head.

Bearing the strong spiritual pressure, he began to walk step by step towards the Pillar of Spirit.

Despite the short distance of fifty meters, the area was divided into nine layers according to the warning lines on the ground.

Most students remained in the first three layers, and even then, they were in pain.

“Da~”

“Da~” Li Yuan took steps deeper into the Pillar, walking very slowly, feeling the intangible spiritual pressure emanating from the Pillar of Spirit.

It was as if invisible hammers were striking him, with the force growing stronger and stronger.

“Li Yuan’s physical quality might be weak, but reaching the third layer should be about right,” President Li thought to himself.

As a 29th Rank Prime Warrior, he could vaguely sense the strength of Li Yuan’s spiritual power.

Very soon,

Li Yuan entered into the second layer with ease. Without waiting for Li Yang to react much, Li Yuan quickly stepped into the third layer.

Still, his expression did not change!

He continued to advance toward the fourth layer.

“The fourth layer?” Li Yang’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, “Normally, one would need the spiritual power of the 19th Rank to set foot in this area.”

“Can Li Yuan handle it?”

After just over a dozen seconds, Li Yuan, bearing the immense spiritual pressure, stepped into the fourth layer.

Then!

He continued towards the fifth layer. This sight shocked Li Yang, and it also drew the attention of many students cultivating their ‘spiritual power’ at the Pillar of Spirit.
