Soul-Will cultivation is structurally simpler than other paths.
Consciousness Nodes in the soul system are equivalent to Power Traits in the martial system—the more traits, the higher their grade, and the stronger one's talent and strength.
But for Consciousness Nodes, only the quantity matters!
Simply put, a Starlight First-Order cultivator with six hundred Consciousness Nodes can rival a peak Starlight Second-Order.
“Consciousness Nodes are extremely important.”
“Soul-Will realm can’t lag behind either. My martial path is about to reach Fourth-Order Cosmic Light, yet my Soul-Will is still at First-Order Dawn-Star Light—such a gap is unacceptable.”
Andrew Han shook his head silently and closed his eyes.
The Green Mountain continued its warp flight toward the Eastern Region Administrative Star of the Chenriver Empire. Colors outside the cabin windows twisted and flowed, while inside, all was quiet and silent.
He sat cross-legged in the cultivation area of the Green Mountain.
The Green Mountain was divided into a central control area, living quarters, entertainment zones, and—most importantly—the cultivation area.
As everyone knows, ships in warp often experience varying degrees of turbulence. But the cultivation area is equipped to dampen vibrations, acting like a shock absorber so Andrew feels as if he’s walking on solid ground.
Beyond that—
The walls of the cultivation area glowed faintly, projecting wondrous scenes of galaxies and nebulae. This created a vast, mysterious atmosphere, perfect for quiet cultivation.
“With some free time, I might as well cultivate.”
Andrew decided not to rest. Instead, he chose to practice a Soul-Will secret art from the Mo-Tai inheritance that best suited him—‘Snowfall of a Thousand Names.’
Though the name sounded rather rustic—
But there was no helping it; translated into Earth’s language, this was its meaning.
The core concept of Snowfall of a Thousand Names lay in the spiral transformation of vast numbers of Consciousness Nodes. By leveraging these changes, one could drive realm breakthroughs and fully unleash their innate talent.
“Master?”
Bailey popped out.
Originally intending to chat with Andrew Han and emphasize its identity as an intelligent core, Bailey saw him cultivating a Soul-Will secret art and hurriedly covered its mouth, falling silent.
Interrupting Soul-Will cultivation is strictly taboo!
While interrupting cultivation won’t cause chaos, it can easily disrupt Soul-Will insight and ruin the entire session.
Unless there’s an emergency, Bailey would never wake Andrew on its own.
"Sigh."
"I’ve already run eight million self-diagnostics." Bailey sat forlornly in the cultivation area, touching the ink-black, solid floor, sometimes glancing around, sometimes shaking its head, its mood tinged with melancholy.
Silence settled over the cultivation area.
A wordless stillness enveloped everything as the Green Mountain pressed steadily onward. Time slipped by unnoticed, and the ship drew ever closer to the Eastern Region Administrative Star of the Chenriver Empire.
"Mm."
"According to the plan, Master will first rendezvous with the White-Horn Clan’s cultivation geniuses, then enter Chenriver Palace." Bailey squinted its small eyes. "The secret arts of Chenriver Palace can’t compare to the Mo-Tai inheritance; probably only their resources will benefit Master."
The Mo-Tai inheritance contains countless mysteries!
As a Starlight-tier cultivator, Andrew can only access Starlight-level arts for now; there are even greater secrets ahead.
Bailey still felt regret: "Most secret arts require enormous time investment, but Master Andrew is simply too young—he can only skim the surface."
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
No matter how powerful a secret art, it’s not as valuable as the one that suits Andrew best!
"You can’t spend a thousand years just to master a single secret art." Bailey blinked its black eyes. "A thousand years is so long—by then, Master Andrew could already reach the Stellar Palace Tier."
That’s the logic of it.
Even the most powerful secret arts aren’t suited for Andrew.
To spend countless years just to dominate the Starlight Tier? If you’re limited to Starlight, no matter how strong you get, it’s meaningless.
As long as your foundation is solid, the priority should be advancing to the Stellar Palace Tier—because the level of life evolution is what truly matters.
