Chapter 3601: An Efficient BreakthroughEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

One by one, the Star Maps in his sea of consciousness rapidly switched and evolved.

He went from being somewhat clumsy at the start to quickly becoming proficient.

Time passed, second by second.

In just three short hours, Fang Heng had rotated and reconstructed the 2,408 permutations of the 108 Star Maps in his sea of consciousness hundreds of thousands of times, memorizing each Star Map and switching between them with ease.

[Hint: The player’s current astrology has reached the upper limit of the current tier. Please attempt academic advancement.]

Whoosh!

As the game prompt appeared, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

The white-robed elder looked at him, feeling a sudden strange sensation for some reason.

What was happening?

Why did it feel as if he had changed somewhat?

The elder asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Thank you, senior. I have condensed the foundation galaxy and memorized the flow of the 108 Star Maps. Please guide me on the next step," Fang Heng replied.

Huh?

The Star Maps were already condensed?

So quickly?

Not only had he completed the construction of the Star Maps, but he had also become familiar with the 2,408 permutations?

In just three hours, he had advanced from grandmaster-level astrology to the near-transcendent perfected stage?

The cultivation of astrology was extremely difficult. The white-robed elder had never heard of anyone achieving such a feat and looked at Fang Heng in astonishment, asking, "So quickly?"

"Yes, please guide me on the next step," Fang Heng said, placing his hand on the Star Map on the table.

The Star Map blossomed with a faint white light.

"Buzz...!"

The surrounding stars shifted, quickly condensing behind Fang Heng into a foundation Star Map.

The white-robed elder observed the Star Map condensed behind Fang Heng and nodded silently.

The 108 spirit light points had indeed successfully condensed.

Yet he still found it hard to believe that someone could condense so many spirit light points in such a short time.

Perhaps this young man had received prior training, condensing most of the stars beforehand.

As for becoming familiar with 2,408 permutations of Star Maps in such a short time, that was beyond belief.

Well.

Regardless of Fang Heng’s purpose, the elder’s duty was only to teach.

He no longer pondered and, out of goodwill, reminded him, "The demigod-level academic advancement is a step more difficult. You must fully master the 108 foundation Star Maps before attempting it. If you force cultivation prematurely, your sea of consciousness could be shocked, and backlash could occur. Do not rush."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

The white-robed elder reached toward the star chart again.

Instantly, the cultivation space filled with thousands of glittering stars once more.

"Condense your mind, close your eyes."

Following the elder’s instruction, Fang Heng closed his eyes, and a starry environment appeared before him.

The original 108 foundation Star Maps gradually receded, revealing a dense galaxy in front of him, with tens of thousands of stars shining.

The crowded stars were stacked chaotically, making Fang Heng momentarily dizzy.

"The Star Maps continue to expand and evolve, generating an endless galaxy. Though it appears chaotic, each segment contains variations of the foundation Star Maps and can be reconstructed using the 108 foundation Star Maps as a base."

As he spoke, Fang Heng saw the galaxy before him gradually divided into regions by silver threads.

The Star Maps were stacked and condensed, some even overlapping, but each region contained exactly 108 stars, corresponding to a foundation Star Map.

"Condense more Star Maps in your sea of consciousness until at least twelve galaxies are formed. At that point, you will reach demigod-level."

"Once you fully integrate them, memorizing the stacking of the 2,408 composite Star Maps, you can freely simulate stars in your sea of consciousness, reaching the peak of demigod-level."

The composite Star Maps flashed rapidly before him.

Fang Heng forcibly etched them into his memory within his sea of consciousness.

The white-robed elder continued, "Breaking the peak of demigod-level later is simple: it is purely a matter of quantity. Expand the stars in your sea of consciousness, continually constructing Star Maps."

"The number of Star Maps determines the accuracy of deductions."

As the elder’s voice fell, the galaxy before Fang Heng gradually faded.

"But remember, the more star points you condense, the more mental strength it consumes, and the easier it is to suffer backlash. Exercise extreme caution."

More than ten minutes passed before Fang Heng reopened his eyes, carefully recalling the concrete forms of the galaxy the elder had just demonstrated.

At the same time, the cultivation space gradually transformed into a complex composite Star Map.

Astrology was indeed not simple.

Fang Heng reflected silently.

The cultivation of astrology was much more difficult than most ordinary academic disciplines.

Without a high-strength sea of consciousness as a foundation, ordinary people could hardly cultivate, let alone condense twelve Star Maps.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong enough, and his sea of consciousness broad enough to support condensing the Star Maps.

Then he would give it a try.

Fang Heng clasped his fists toward the elder.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

He closed his eyes again, condensing his mind and entering a viewing state within his sea of consciousness.

The twelve galaxies required 1,296 spirit light points.

Currently, the number of faith light points in his sea of consciousness was insufficient.

He could only use his mental strength to condense them.

Fang Heng compressed his mental strength, quickly forming one spirit light point.

"Huh? This..."

Fang Heng frowned, immediately noticing an anomaly.

It was a slight loss.

Once a spirit light point was condensed, that portion of mental strength was permanently occupied. Unless the spirit light point was restored, his maximum mental strength would decrease.

Though it could be restored before battle, overall, it was very troublesome.

No wonder astrologers were so rare.

It had no direct effect in combat and even carried potential drawbacks.

Luckily, his mental strength was sufficient, so the consumption was not a burden.

Fang Heng thought to himself and continued condensing spirit light points.

Soon, the required star points for the twelve Star Maps were gathered.

Done!

Under the guidance of his mental strength, the twelve foundation Star Maps condensed into form in his sea of consciousness.

[Hint: The player’s current astrology has advanced to demigod-level.]

Fang Heng once again activated the galaxy, attempting to construct fusion Star Maps within the sea of stars.

The difficulty immediately rose severalfold.

At the same time, controlling thousands of stars to move to fixed positions further increased the difficulty, and construction efficiency sharply decreased.

Fang Heng did not rush, focusing on condensing each Star Map repeatedly, seemingly forgetting the passage of time.

After an unknown duration, a game prompt appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player’s current astrology has reached the upper limit of the current tier. Please attempt academic advancement.]

Done.

The fusion Star Maps were completed.

According to the elder, the next breakthrough was simple: numerical stacking.

Continuously increasing the number of stars in the sea of consciousness was enough.

Then continue!

Fang Heng, in one push, continued condensing the stars.
