Chapter 94 – Supernova (1/2)

Chapter 94 – Supernova

The vast majority of cultivators weren’t able to easily comprehend stances from texts; and the ideas, in this particular chapter of the “Seventy-two Interstellar Secrets,” were intricate enough to inspire the Glacial Emperor to create an evolvable stance that could be upgraded to the Sky level. This complexity was the reason why a lot of these Warriors were positive that such a stance did not exist.

Having said that, comprehending stances was a much easier process than refining or creating a stance. However, for ordinary people understanding stances was still very difficult, but not for Runemasters – for the people who specialized in runes it was obviously easier.

Although Ye Wei was not yet a Runemaster, his soul sensitivity was very much comparable to one. With his knowledge and rune resonance on top of that, he could decipher things as well as a Runemaster could.

While everyone was seated, hopelessly struggling, Ye Wei’s soul sensitivity let him decipher at the speed of a trained Runemaster.

‘Seventy-two interstellar secrets – Dark Sky Chapter…’ The moment Ye Wei deciphered some of the text a message from the jade disc resonated in his mind. The message exploded in his head, and numerous words and letters appeared before his eyes.

This text was written in an extinct language, and Ye Wei did not recognize the shapes, but somehow he was able to understand what the message meant.

‘Above the heavens, the stars rotate. The magnificence of the galaxies nourish everything. The heavens can cover it but not contain it; the earth can contain it but not cover it. The universe can accommodate it but not refute it knowing that everything has its place and limitation… Heaven and earth turn and rotate as everything returns to the universe.’

As Ye Wei’s mind was bombarded by ideas the ancient text bore, his face twitched. Despite this, he sat motionless on the seat seemingly calm, but there was a vague look of shock on his childish face.

‘Heaven and earth turn and rotate… everything returns to the universe… This means no matter how many times the stars reassembled themselves, the universe is constantly evolving while the suns and stars never really change…’

‘If Pu Yuan was indeed not lying about how these lines inspired a stance, I can totally see how that stance would become repeatedly refinable and could transform into a Sky stance, or an even stronger stance’ The concept was complex to the extreme. From the telepathic message he was able to glean some insight into the text, and bit by bit, Ye Wei could slowly understand it.

‘What does this name even mean? Supernova stance? By the looks of it, this stance’s first incarnation is, as Pu Yuan said, a Spirit stance. Judging by the Qi flow described in the text, anyone below the condensed prime Warrior level could make the best use of this stance, and it makes the user’s body three times stronger than normal for an hour!’

‘The second evolution of this stance seems to be the Myst level. The second stage works best on returned prime Warriors. It causes the user’s body to become six times stronger than normal, but it will only last half as long as the first evolution.’

‘The third evolution of the Supernova stance is an Earth stance that strengthens the user’s body nine times! It lasts for a good half hour, but god prime Warriors would not benefit from it. That’s the end of the written examples, but it looks to me like this stance can get even stronger through training and refinement!’ The text continued, but for now, Ye Wei was a bit too shocked to read anymore.

Amplifying stances were rumored to only be available to the Zhou dynasty’s royal family, but he was pretty sure he was reading the formula for one right now.

Now a seven-star Student, Ye Wei finally could learn stances, and if he were able to master the Supernova stance then even just its first form would make him three times stronger. That was enough to challenge ten-star Students!

When he does eventually become a ten-star Student, he would be able to challenge Warriors using this stance!

With triple power amplification any cultivator would easily dominate others in their own cultivation level and maybe even beat people levels above within the hour of the stance’s effect.

Although the second and third evolution doesn’t last as long, their six and nine times of amplification only made the stance’s next stages even more terrifying.

‘This is an incomplete entry level of Supernova stance. If I could somehow evolve it into a Sky stance…’

Just thinking about the stance’s possibilities, Ye Wei’s heartbeat quickened. ‘It’s a shame I can’t explain what I’ve understood, or else I would surely share this powerful stance with my family.’

‘If this one of twelve chapters then I can’t imagine what kind of power the author of these volumes possessed! Nevermind that for now… the first incarnation should work well before I become a god’s prime Warrior, which can take me decades to reach. For now, I should just worry about the task I’ve been given.’

‘From what I can see, this Spirit stance is made up of one hundred and thirty-six runes. If I can figure out how to draw these runes, performing this stance should not be too hard.’
