Chapter 20: The Underground Clan? Thoughts
"Star Summoning Technique?"

"That's right. Strictly speaking, this 'Star Calling Technique' is not a technique used purely to increase combat power and true qi, but is used to observe celestial phenomena!"

"What the hell??"

Chen Fan became more and more confused. He remembered that this thing should not be mentioned in the original book?

Seeing Chen Fan's confused face, Cang Shang was somewhat pleased with himself. He chuckled and said, "I spent a lot of effort to find out this. In this world, there is a profession called 'astrologer'.

This profession is much rarer than "alchemist" or "casting master", because in order to become a "stargazer", one must have extremely powerful soul power, and the soul is something that is extremely difficult to change by nature, and can only be slightly affected after condensing the martial soul in the Spirit Sea Realm.

This also leads to the fact that there are very few and special "astrologers" in Nanzhuo Domain, and the Seven Star Pavilion is the only force in Nanzhuo Domain that specializes in practicing "astrologers".

Although astronomers are called stargazers, what they actually observe is destiny. It is said that in ancient times, astronomers were able to infer the secrets of heaven by observing the stars, but later on, for unknown reasons, they could no longer do so.

The 'Star Calling Technique' is a top-level earth-level technique. It is different from other top-level earth-level techniques. It is very special. If you practice it to the tenth level, you can slightly increase your soul power. If you practice it to the thirteenth level, you can become a 'stargazer'."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart was in turmoil and his thoughts were in chaos for a moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"The world is so vast, and it contains so many secrets. What is described in the original book is probably just a corner of this world. There are still many secrets hidden in the dark, waiting to be explored."

Chen Fan sighed deeply, and at the same time, he felt inexplicably excited. This kind of world is interesting. If everything proceeded step by step according to the original work, wouldn't it be less fun?

Cang Shang didn't know that Chen Fan had thought so much in such a short time, and continued: "The tenth level of 'Star Calling Technique' is not only comparable to the perfection of ordinary mid-level earth-level skills in terms of true energy, but it is even more powerful in terms of soul power. It can also slightly use the power that only the great masters of the Spirit Sea Realm can use, killing people invisibly."

Cang Shang said a lot, and as Chen Fan listened, he suddenly felt that these methods seemed a little familiar. Hey, isn’t this similar to the way people in the underground world take?

Relying on willpower and cultivating thoughts is another way of using willpower, which is similar to the martial arts will of the powerful people in the Spirit Sea Realm.

However, at present, Xinghen’s ability is far different from those beings who cultivate their thoughts in the underground world. At least one can affect reality, but Xinghen’s attack cannot currently be seen to affect reality.

Of course, it is also possible that Xinghen’s strength is too weak. After all, in the original work, those underground people who appeared and used their minds to fight had combat power of at least above the Star Realm.

However, Chen Fan raised his head and looked to the other side, where the people from the Seven Star Pavilion were. The old man in the lead had a smile on his face and looked very kind.

Perhaps there would be a chance to visit the Seven Star Pavilion, because he suspected that the inheritance of the Seven Star Pavilion might have some connection with the underground world.

He had been curious about this when he was reading the book before. Although there was very little connection between the underground world and the surface, it was because they didn't want too many people to know about the underground clan.

But since Ye Chen can enter the underground world, has anyone from the underground clan ever come to the surface?

The Saint Lady Youxin beside Young Master Li Xiaoyun of the Heavenly Book does not count. He is referring to the situation where the impact is relatively large.

For example, leaving a legacy, like "Stargazer".
In fact, Chen Fan also wanted to go to the underground world to see what the practice methods there were that were completely different from those on the surface. If possible, perhaps he could practice a little.

Although thoughts and true energy are two different systems that cannot be coordinated, Chen Fan still wants to give it a try. After all, he has an epiphany panel and maybe he can succeed in it accidentally.

The practice of mind cultivation is still very powerful and has great potential. If it is cultivated to the extreme, it may not be weaker than the true essence.

“So, unless one is born with a strong soul, or has comprehended a strong enough state of mind, it is difficult to resist Xinghen’s attack.”

"Then Brother Cang, according to your guess, what level of artistic conception is needed to withstand Xinghen's mental attack?" Chen Fan asked.

"Intention? This name is good. I guess it should be a state of mind above the minor level, such as sword intention and knife intention, which are far beyond the ordinary state of mind in terms of willpower, about 30% is enough.

Logically speaking, Brother Chen is good enough in terms of artistic conception, but there is no guarantee that Xinghen does not have a secret method of attacking the soul directly, so I say that he is Brother Chen's biggest enemy."

Chen Fan nodded and said nothing more. He just silently opened the panel that he had not seen for a long time.

【Chen Fan】

【Age: 17】

[Realm: Late Baoyuan Realm]

[Artistic Conception: The Artistic Conception of Thunder (70%)]

[Kung Fu: Purple Thunder Magic Skill, 11th level (Earth-level intermediate skill)]

[Martial Arts: Thunder Palm Perfected (Earth-level mid-level martial arts), Thunder Fist Perfected (Human-level top-level martial arts), Phantom Step Perfected (Human-level top-level martial arts)]

[Secret Technique: Three-Element Explosion·Remnant (Top-level Earth-level Secret Technique)]

[Number of epiphanies: 1]

In half a year, he advanced from the early stage of Baoyuan Realm to the late stage of Baoyuan Realm. The speed was very fast. He even used several opportunities of sudden enlightenment to deduce the low-level earth-level martial arts Thunder Palm to the middle-level earth-level martial arts.

This was one of the reasons why he was able to defeat the eldest disciple of the Tianyun Sect with one palm using only his mid-stage Baoyuan Realm cultivation without even using his artistic conception.

By the same token, after practicing the intermediate earth-level martial arts to the extreme, one will naturally comprehend 70% of the state of thunder.

Although the 70% of the thunder state of mind is not as good as the 70% of the sword intent that Ye Chen comprehended when he participated in the Qianlong Competition, it is more than enough to deal with this Qianlong Competition.

To put it bluntly, it's like using a cannon to attack a mosquito. After all, there is a huge difference in quality. For example, Sikong Sheng, Li Daoxuan, Yan Chihuo and others are really too young.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the group of guys who will stir up the storm with Ye Chen in the future, that is, Li Daoxuan and others, have also made it into the top 24 of their respective groups and are listed on the Potential Dragon List.

However, according to Chen Fan's guess, they would at best be outside the top 30. Except for Li Daoxuan and Yan Chihuo, there was still some hope, but it was basically impossible for others.

After all, they haven't even reached the perfection of the Condensation Realm, so being able to make it onto the Potential Dragon List is already a sign of genius enough.

"Maybe, but I have my own way to deal with Xinghen."

Chen Fan closed the panel and said lightly.

Cang Shang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled suddenly: "It seems that Cang is superficial."

There is no need to say many things clearly, as long as you know them in your heart.
