296: Chapter 296 The Transcendent Realm of Water Blue Star! The Offering of the First Believer!

Zhang Jian had been very busy these past few days.

Even for the preliminary activation of the Formation he had exchanged for, at least three individuals in the Transcendence Realm were required.

Upon learning of this situation, everyone signed up one after another.

However, for those with higher potential, after being tested by the Will of the Heavenly Dao, they could use up to eight-star or even nine-star Star Cores.

Currently, these two types of Star Cores were in short supply.

Naturally, the three individuals with slightly lower potential became the top choice.

After being informed by Wang Fei, they were even more excited.

Ye Xun's eyes shone brightly. "I have long wanted to reach the Transcendence Realm. Thank you, big shots, for giving me this opportunity!"

Wang Mingdong and his wife held hands and smiled at each other.

"The two of us have relied on Zhang Jian's help to get this far. Otherwise, we would probably only have the ability of a Second Job Change right now."

"To have our current strength is something we wouldn't have dared to dream of."

"For the Transcendence Realm, we are duty-bound!"

Although the three of them agreed readily.

However, a Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm was, after all, a major event.

Even with the Luck bonus and the support of the Will of the Heavenly Dao, success was not 100% guaranteed.

Fortunately, they had exchanged for a secret technique from Yun Kai.

Using double the quantity of Star Cores of the same quality for protection could increase the success rate.

Furthermore, if they failed, it ensured they wouldn't suffer severe injuries, preserving hope for a future Breakthrough.

Under these conditions, the three of them successfully achieved their Breakthrough one after another in a secret room that Wang Fei had specifically called upon everyone to build.

Those who observed learned quite a bit of knowledge about the Transcendence Realm Breakthrough.

For instance, the success rate of the Breakthrough varies depending on the grade of the Star Core absorbed.

Depending on one's own foundational background, the upper limit of the grade of Star Core that can be absorbed also differs.

The time taken for the Breakthrough also differs significantly when absorbing different grades of Star Cores.

The three of them spent a full 5 days to successfully achieve the Breakthrough.

However, after the Breakthrough, they felt a bit bewildered.

As for Cultivating, they roughly knew it involved using the corresponding Cultivation Technique to absorb Star Power bit by bit to improve.

But Water Blue Planet had not yet connected to the Universe Alliance of this star System, so it was impossible to absorb Star Power from the external Universe.

They could only improve by absorbing Star Cores.

Zhang Jian gave each of them a one-star Star Core, and they each held one, slowly trying to find the feeling.

Zhang Jian felt a bit uncertain.

Although his side now had three more individuals in the Transcendence Realm.

How should the strength of this Realm be judged?

What was the current Star Power limit of these three, and were they considered weak or decent in the Universe?

Would it be enough to activate the defensive Formation?

Just as he had a pile of unanswered questions in his mind.

Suddenly.

A cool sensation surged within his heart.

He sank into his consciousness and discovered that a tiny trace of Star Power had quietly appeared in his external Star Core.

Before his eyes, several corresponding System prompts appeared.

"Talent [Universe Symbiosis Dao Contract] activated successfully."

"A devout believer is Cultivating and has offered you 0.2 points of Star Power."

Zhang Jian was stunned.

He looked back at Wang Mingdong and the others.

They were holding the Star Cores, still deep in thought, with no signs of successful absorption.

Who could it be?

Moreover.

Previously, after Wang Mingdong and the others achieved their Breakthrough, they had told him.

During the Breakthrough, upon sensing that the owner of the talent [Universe Symbiosis Dao Contract] was Zhang Jian, they unhesitatingly chose to become devout believers and all selected the 50% maximum rate.

The 0.2 points he received now were clearly a 20% conversion of 1 point.

It certainly wasn't Wang Mingdong and his group.

After chatting with the Will of the Heavenly Dao, the other party exclaimed.

"Could it be that over at the stone tablet, one of Lord Yun Kai's subordinates used an eight-star Star Core to achieve a Breakthrough?"

Zhang Jian specifically observed it.

This frequency of offering was about once every 20 minutes.

It was more than a dozen times faster than the two-plus hours required for one cycle of normal absorption of a one-star Star Core.

It perfectly matched the bonus corresponding to an eight-star Star Core.

Understanding the reason, Zhang Jian felt somewhat gratified.

Although this person who achieved the Breakthrough did not select the maximum 50% rate.

But as a stranger who knew nothing about him, being able to choose to trust him, and at the devout level, was already quite good.

However, this 0.2 points each time was truly a drop in the bucket.

Zhang Jian's heart stirred. "Can you help me adjust it so it only displays after 1 full point is absorbed?"

Under the instruction of the Will of the Heavenly Dao, the System's display rules were immediately changed.

An hour passed, and it never appeared again.

Zhang Jian nodded.

This was much quieter.

...

Crack!

"This is too slow!"

Feeling the growth rate of Star Power within his body, Yun Xin couldn't help but feel irritable and directly crushed the one-star Star Core in his hand.

An hour had already passed.

He had only completed three small cycles, adding 3 points of Star Power to his body.

At this speed, Cultivating for 10 hours a day would only result in an increase of 30 points.

Even without sleeping or resting for 24 hours, it would only be 72 points.

To max out his Star Power limit, it would take at least over 100 days.

And in another month, that Prodigy from the clan would come to seize this planet.

Although with his current strength and future potential.

Whether he could Cultivate on this planet or not no longer mattered.

But this was, after all, the place where he had grown up, and it had poured in his father's many years of hard work.

He was still unwilling to just hand it over like this.

He held a drive in his heart, wanting to rely on his own strength to protect it when the other party arrived.

But the other party had achieved a Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm several months ago, and their strength had been steadily improving.

With the support of the main clan, they must have certainly received quite a bit of resource allocation.

By the time a month passed, they might have already achieved a Breakthrough to the second stage of the Transcendence Realm or even stronger.

Although his Star Core ability from the Breakthrough surpassed the other party, the time it took for his Breakthrough was too long.

By then.

He definitely wouldn't be able to match the other party's strength and would be suppressed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but beg.

"Dad, how about we switch to Advanced Star Cores?"

Yun Kai pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Since you have such great potential, there is indeed no need to be so frugal anymore."

"I'll listen to you; we will use Advanced Star Cores to Cultivate!"

After saying this, he took out three four-star Star Cores from his bosom.

"You use these first, and I will go prepare some more later."

Yun Xin nodded, took the Star Cores, and without daring to delay for a moment, immediately began absorbing them.

And in his heart, there was another thought.

He couldn't even accept the snail-like speed when Cultivating with a one-star Star Core.

Then, how would that mysterious mighty figure who established the Heavenly Dao contract with him and granted extra power to the Star Core feel when seeing the meager amount of Star Power he offered?

Would they be disappointed, thinking that they had actually taken in such an incompetent waste of a believer, and subsequently withdraw the power on this Star Core?

Yun Xin couldn't help but shiver, not daring to think further.

He must Cultivate as quickly as possible!

For the sake of his strength rapidly increasing.

And also for.

When he Cultivated to the Peak of the first stage, he would go and request that mysterious powerhouse to trade for another one of these Star Cores.

A wild ambition ignited in his heart.

Just this one alone had already increased his strength significantly.

What if he absorbed a few more, or even used this type for all the Star Cores needed for the Breakthrough in the Transcendence Realm stage?

Yun Xin's breathing became somewhat rapid.
