149: Characteristics of Stargazing Technique: Stars guard the spiritual platform, stars illuminate the eternal silence

Yang Dian naturally didn't mind his own talent being like a cheat.

He even sometimes fantasized about whether more such cheats could appear, directly helping him Ascend to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Of course, fantasy was just fantasy.

When his thoughts returned to reality, he also knew that any improvement was not without reason.

Even with cheat-like talent, the principle of needing to work hard when it was time to work hard still applied.

He put away the plum blossom rare treasure, drew the curtains, and made the bedroom dim.

Yang Dian then sat cross-legged on the bed, letting his consciousness sink into the dwelling place of his Soul, and began to visualize the illusory stars in the Chaos space.

The stars condensed in the Chaos, appearing somewhat dim at first, and would be overlooked if not observed carefully.

Soon after, the stars shone brightly, breaking through the ignorant Chaos, as if to separate Heaven and Earth, define Yin and Yang, and create Heaven and Earth.

Finally, under Yang Dian's control, the star fell behind his head, transforming into a cool, clear moon disc, protecting his Soul from slumber.

Yang Dian also opened his tightly closed eyes, a wisp of cool, white light flashed three times between his eyebrows, illuminating the empty room with white light.

Feeling an unprecedented sense of stability emanating from the depths of his Soul, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The first characteristic of the Star Gazing Art: Star Guardian of the Spiritual Platform.

As the name suggests, Star Guardian of the Spiritual Platform is to transform the visualized stars into a star disc, guarding the Spiritual Platform and protecting the Soul from being lost.

Before the star disc shatters, any hypnosis, charm, or mental attacks are all ineffective against Yang Dian.

"What a great characteristic!"

"And this characteristic is also a growth-type characteristic, its strength can continuously increase with the number of visualized stars."

"Now I'm really not afraid of being hypnotized by others or charmed by female succubi."

Of course, the charm here refers to mental abilities.

If Yang Dian himself couldn't control himself, that would be another matter.

"Work, work, work!"

"We should pursue the retreating enemy with the momentum of victory, and I will immediately bring out the second characteristic of the Star Gazing Art."

Thinking this, Yang Dian closed his eyes and concentrated again, sinking his mind into the dwelling place of his Soul.

A moment later, a second star phantom appeared in the Chaos sky, then a third, a fourth... When the sizzling sound from downstairs stopped, and the aroma of food wafted through the crack in the door to Yang Dian's nose, eleven stars in the Chaos sky of the Soul's dwelling place also lit up simultaneously.

Opening his eyes, which seemed to sparkle with starlight, Yang Dian subconsciously entered the Unity of Man and Nature state again.

"Control the mind, stabilize the will."

"Transcendent to the material, detached from the Mortal World."

"Star Illumination of Constant Stillness."

Stepping forward, Yang Dian seemed to have become a celestial being living among mortals, as if he could Ascend at any moment.

This was the second characteristic of the Star Gazing Art: Star Illumination of Constant Stillness.

Stars connect to the heart.

As long as the stars are not extinguished, Yang Dian can, under the illumination of the stars, control his mind and stabilize his will, maintaining his emotions in an absolutely rational state of Constant Stillness.

Floating like an immortal, that's the state Yang Dian was in now.

However, this transcendent and ethereal state didn't last long before it was interrupted by a loud shout from downstairs.

"Brother~~~ Dinner!"

Yang Dian blinked, and the transcendent aura dissipated from him, replaced by a worldly air.

"Damn it~"

Yang Dian rubbed his chest a couple of times, feeling a bit scared:

"Was that me just now?"

"Without emotion, desire, or pursuit, only seeking eternal oneness, it's simply ridiculously abnormal."

After a low curse, Yang Dian's thoughts moved, and he entered the Star Illumination of Constant Stillness state.

Then he found that although he became extremely calm after entering Star Illumination of Constant Stillness, he didn't become devoid of desires as before.

"So, it's still related to the Unity of Man and Nature characteristic?"

"Just as I thought before, some characteristics, when combined, can produce a tenfold or even hundredfold amplification."

"It's just that the 'rank' of the effect produced by the combination of these two characteristics is too high, and I can't control it right now."

"What's good about being devoid of desires?"

"The dazzling world is enchanting, and this vast Mortal World, I haven't had enough fun yet..."

Amidst his murmuring, Yang Dian's door was knocked "thump-thump," and Yang Lele's voice came from outside the door:

"Brother, dinner's ready!"

"What are you doing in your room? You don't answer when I call you."

"Huh~~~ You're not secretly doing something bad, are you?"

Yang Dian pulled open the door and poked Yang Lele's head:

"Extra training tonight!"

Yang Lele hugged her head:

"Don't poke my head anymore, you've already made me stupid!"

...They finished dinner amidst their playful banter.

After dinner, Yang's Parents went for a walk outside to digest their food.

Yang Dian then stuffed the bottle of purple plum blossom into Yang Lele's arms:

"This purple plum blossom helps people comprehend the Dao and can accelerate learning and understanding knowledge."

"You, who Cultivate the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, should take one flower."

"If you manage to get started with the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, then give this to Mom and Dad."

Yang Dian didn't lack the energy to comprehend the Dao, so it was better to give this to Yang Lele.

As for why not give it to Yang's Parents first?

Even if he gave it to them, the result would be the same; it would still end up in Yang Lele's hands.

Yang Lele's eyes lit up when she heard about the plum blossom's effects:

"Brother, can I use it to learn trigonometry?"

"Math is really too difficult!"

Yang Dian gave her a flick on the forehead:

"How could you think of using such a heaven and earth treasures to learn math?"

"If you were a once-in-a-century math Genius, and wanted to use it to solve some century-old problem, then I certainly wouldn't object."

"But you actually want to use it to learn functions?"

"What, does the country lack a poor student like you?"

Yang Lele pouted:

"If I don't learn, I don't learn, why do you always hit my head? You're the one who made me stupid."

Saying that, she bumped her head against Yang Dian's chest again:

"I'll ram you to death."

After bumping him once and finding he didn't budge, she scampered back to her room:

"I'm going to do my homework!"

"Don't feed the little black cat catnip tonight."

"Got it!"

Yang Dian, helpless with his Silly Younger Sister, shook his head, then jogged out of the village, creating a cool breeze and turning into an urban legend ghost, heading straight for Lian Yin Pavilion.

Pushing the door open, Shi Sheng, who was almost exhausted after his power-up, was indeed not at Lian Yin Pavilion.

Tang Tang and Nuo Nuo, the two technicians, were still in the foot bath room, and the timer was still running.

However, they seemed to be tired from playing games and were napping on the foot massage bed.

He knocked on the bed to wake them both, and seeing them rub their eyes and prop themselves up, Yang Dian nodded to them:

"You can clock out now."

With that, he turned and left.

The technician named Tang Tang ran to Yang Dian in a few steps, tugged at his sleeve, and asked with bitten lips:

"Boss, aren't you going to get a massage?"

Yang Dian shrugged:

"Next time."

Why next time?

Because the technician Yang Dian liked wasn't at this shop!

Another corner of the city.

Inside a foot massage parlor with flashing neon lights.

Not long after Yang Dian entered the foot bath room, four technicians wearing white Hanfu and white veils arrived together.

"Welcome to Xixiangji, I am Youyou, An'an, Fanfan, and Fufu, it's a pleasure to serve our distinguished guest."

Yang Dian first pointed at the projector, then at the lights:

"Turn off the projector."

"And dim the lights."

Finally, he patted his leg:

"No foot bath today, my legs are sore, give me a leg massage..."
