Chapter 149 – High Level Myst Stance (1/2)
Chapter 149 – High Level Myst Stance
The next opponents South Star Academy faced, after seeing the fight between Ye Wei and Zhoutian Sword School’s Jian Chen, all surrendered. They didn’t even try to fight, and therefore the public did not see Ye Wei on the martial platforms ever since the fight where he defeated the bloodmoon.
Back at South Star’s palace, Ye Wei sat alone in the courtyard for seven days and seven nights.
In the courtyard, the moon shown silver and produced a silent but elegant atmosphere; the stars twinkled and garnished the empty night sky in concordance with the moon.The bitingly chill night breeze was pecking Ye Wei on his cheek. The slight drop of temperature touched him on the shoulder, and he slowly opened his eyes.
‘The Glacial Emperor created the Selenic Seven Stances. Hmmm…and it is also a mid-level Myst stance, refining this will be in no way easy,’ Ye Wei clenched his fist and thought to himself.
Having cultivated and trained behind closed doors for a week, Ye Wei had gained great understanding about the Zhoutian Sword Notion, Blood Moon Assassin Sword. However, when it came to actually infusing the principles and powers of those techniques to strengthen his own; in short, he was going nowhere.
“I can surely make Selenic Triple-Primal Sword a high-level Myst stance if I manage to infuse Jian Chen’s two stances to it,” he mumbled to himself.
“It would have been nice to accomplish this infusion before the next fight since a high-level Myst stance could really win fights on its own.” He looked up at the moon, sighed and felt slightly deflated
The stars shone bright in the quiet evening sky. Ye Wei had gazed upon the night sky so long and so much the zodiac star alignments and planetary arrangement, the inspiration used to create the Selenic stances, had burned into Ye Wei’s mind. Shutting his eyes, his consciousness followed the night sky’s pattern and entered into a zen state.
“The stars are framing the moon just like a picture.” Ye Wei was in awe, murmuring to himself. The scenic view in his mind amused him., Although still stuck in the refinement process, his mood was lightened.
“Framing the moon…” A spark of inspiration suddenly struck him. The understanding of the stance and what he had been practicing for a whole week finally made sense. An idea bombarded his mind.
“I get it now! I get it now!” After a momentary pause, ecstasy swept the air. Any hint of depression on Ye Wei’s face vanished entirely.
He bent his fingers and flicked them, shooting a screen of runes. The runes lightened the courtyard and turned into Selenic Triple-Primal Sword’s three blades.
“Zhoutian Sword Notion should become the frame!” Ye Wei stared at the stance in front of him, smiled and pointed at the pivots of its structure.
“Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!”
The moment the sword notion used by Jian Chen was infused to the Glacial Emperor’s stance, the rune sequence came alive, the swords deconstructed, and they became a mist of twinkling array of stars.
And the array began to flow and circulate in a mysterious pattern.
“Bloodmoon sword intent!” Ye Wei waved his finger in the air like a sword, shooting out a few more short rune sequences that attached perfectly onto the branches of the original sequence. The rune sequence became a star array that sculpted the stance into a moon shape.
The courtyard then transformed into a miniature milky way.
‘Selenic Triple-Primal Sword!’ Ye Wei gazed upon the downsized star array, once again activated the stance, transforming the runes into swords again.
However, the force waves’ frequency was completely different. It accelerated and pulsed like a newborn star.
“Zhoutian should be its new shape; bloodmoon its new soul, and the Selenic Sword as its new foundation!” Ye Wei intensly stared at the shapes in front of him.
He grunted and stomped the ground. All three spectral blades vibrated in the air; they then all quickly merged together by the gravitational pull of the stars in the pattern’s center.
The runic blades integrated to become a ten meters long ancient sword. The ground shook during the same second the transformation finished. The new stance’s energy was pure, dense, and rotated to the other runes’ pull.
The heavens responded by casting a wide, thick pillar of cosmic energy from million miles away, tearing through the sky and landing on Ye Wei and completely engulfing him.
Judging from the light pillar’s size, Ye Wei could tell the Selenic Triple-Primal Sword just became a peak high-level Myst stance. From continuously absorbing the rush of vast cosmic gift, he could also feel his Sentient and dantian expanding.
The energy surge was pure and uncontaminated. It tickled Ye Wei’s skin to open up its pores to speed up the absorption.
‘Three-star condensed prime level!’ Under the nourishment, Ye Wei’s body strength reached a new height as the cosmic energy decompressed within him.
“Zoom! Zoom!”
The surge lingered in and around Ye Wei’s body. The cosmic energy continued strengthening him even after the breakthrough. By the time his body dealt with the foreign yet familiar energy, Ye Wei was already close to another breakthrough.
Ye Wei’s refined stance disappeared; his eyes shone brighter than the stars above.
“A high-level Myst stance! A peak high-level Myst stance!” He lifted his head to gaze upon the moon and the night sky that inspired him. His body shook with excitement.
“That was a great deal of will-force and Qi I just spent. Though I just broke through to become a three-star condensed prime Warrior, I will still need the second evolution of Supernova stance to support this refined Selenic Sword stance” Ye Wei smiled as he thought to himself. He knew that the extra Qi and will-force was in no sense wasted. The new stance could transform his energy to power.
Having achieved a stance refinement and a breakthrough in the same evening, it was almost impossible for him to remain calm. Yet, Ye Wei was still able to sit himself down and began to consolidate his cultivation.
