841: Chapter 50 Heartlight Body: Guiding Star (6900)_4 841: Chapter 50 Heartlight Body: Guiding Star (6900)_4 Following a faint dragon’s roar, a slender-winged azure pterosaur with a sharply smooth, armored body emerged from the long wind.

Compared to a regular Wind Guardian Dragon, Elder Mantle’s Heartlight Body appeared more agile, and its form had slightly changed—it was thinner, and unlike a normal Wind Guardian Dragon, whose tail would be shorter, it consisted of a wind lash formed from a column of azure wind.

Evidently, Elder Mantle’s Heartlight Body was more perfect and powerful.

“How beautiful…”

Ian gazed at the five or six meters long Heartlight Body floating behind Elder Mantle and couldn’t help but sigh, “A perfect combination of Origin Quality and Spirit Energy, using the Origin Structure from the Bloodline True Form as the framework, Primal Aether as the flesh and blood, and lastly, the soul’s obsession as the core…

So this is a Heartlight Body!”

The moment Ian saw the Heartlight Body, he understood that all the cultivation of the First and Second Energy Levels subsist for this moment.

The First Energy Level hones the physical limits, learning to manipulate Origin Quality; the Second Energy Level condenses the soul and beliefs, using Origin Quality to influence Natural Spirit Energy…

All these exercises and cultivations are to perfectly and correctly condense the Heartlight Body.

This is a fundamental transformation.

Ian approached Elder Mantle’s Heartlight Body, the ‘Wind-Protecting Dragon’—the Heartlight Body’s form varies with the Bloodline and the True Form.

The Bloodline naturally takes the form of an original magical beast, whereas the True Form is the full combat form determined by the pioneer True Form cultivator when creating Magic Potion.

Spirit Energy Users are somewhat special; those who have Spirit Energy before the Third Energy Level often have Heartlight Bodies related to their obsessions when their Spirit Energy Awakened, forming various bizarre images.

Each person continuously cultivates towards adapting their Heartlight Body’s form to suit themselves more.

Additionally, each Heartlight Body, or rather each Third Energy Level Sublimator, possesses a unique ability due to Life Spirit Energy.

Elder Mantle and his Starlight Body also possess it; it’s a protective wind that can be bestowed upon oneself or a designated target, allowing them to completely avoid nearly all remote attacks for a short period, while close enemies would be disturbed by the high-speed Wind Attribute Origin Quality, reducing their speed and making them unable to properly hit the target, and even temporarily blinding them.

Simultaneously, if used in attack, the frenzied wind creates a vacuum, pulling all matter in every direction into the vacuum, temporarily binding everyone and everything in place.

This ability stems from the Wind Guardian Dragon’s power to control the wind and also from Elder Mantle’s obsessions to ‘protect’ and ‘unite’ the Mountain People, similar to his Spirit Energy.

Elder Mantle continuously displayed his ability, allowing his Heartlight Body to fly over tribes and mountains for nearly half an hour, which weary Ian somewhat—being newly ascended to the Third Energy Level, he naturally couldn’t maintain his Heartlight Body for long; half an hour was enough for a full-on battle.

“Thank you, Elder.”

Ian wouldn’t make the elder overexert himself; he gently expressed his gratitude, genuinely appreciative, which made the elder smile: “It’s good that you gained something.”

Ian indeed had a gain.

After all, he also had a Heartlight Body.

However, his Heartlight Body was somewhat strange, which led Ian to want to observe Elder Mantle’s Heartlight Body and verify against his own.

As an Awakened Spirit Energy User, Ian’s Foresight View already represents his obsession to ‘know everything.’ Though his Heartlight Body was formed purely by soul condensation following the ‘Path of Sublimation from the previous era’s civilization,’ theoretically, it is also a manifestation of his obsession.

But…

his Heartlight Body, ‘Guiding Star,’ was somewhat strange.

Initially, Ian thought his Heartlight Body would be based on the Foresight View, some sort of predictive Heartlight Body like the ‘Book of Prophecies,’ allowing him to know more detailed information to guide others towards a better future.

It’s in line with Ian’s thirst for knowledge and also meshes with the essence of Prophets guiding others on better paths.

Ian even planned that upon reaching the Third Energy Level, he would use this pretext, combined with the already widespread rumors of the ‘Prophet of the Descending Thunder,’ to cement his identity as a Prophet.

However, the result was subtly different.

Ian’s Heartlight Body wasn’t a book but a star.

Stars, needless to say, are the foundation of all of Ian’s desires, making more sense than a book.

If it weren’t for the absence of a starry sky in this world, he wouldn’t rush to ascend Above the Sky to become a Lord but would joyfully put together an expedition team to traverse the entire Terra World, exploring the full panorama of this novel world.

Star-filled sky?

Exploring Terra entirely first wouldn’t be too late!

And the form of the Cross Star Crown is an embodiment of Ian’s pride—he believes himself to come from a more advanced societal world, thereby having the capability to guide the people of Terra to ascend to the Sky.

Ian acknowledges this pride, not proudly nor thinking it base.

It’s just reality.

But every time Ian tries to activate the Guiding Star, it responds with a peculiar feeling of ‘not fulfilling the conditions.’

This is indeed strange—the Heartlight Body, once formed from one’s soul, its user should understand its name and how to use it.

Despite the abilities themselves needing exploration, how could it be unusable?

After observing Elder Mantle’s Heartlight Body, Ian found the answer.

“So my Heartlight Body is the type that needs an extra energy supply?”

“No, it should be that my Heartlight Body is too strong, but my Body hasn’t reached the Third Energy Level yet, so I can only use extra energy to avoid forcibly activating it and injuring myself.”

Saying this to himself, Ian hasn’t yet reached the Third Energy Level, but he possesses the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, Aether Crystal, and Silver Chip.

He could also condense some Primal Aether.

Closing his eyes, Ian channeled the Primordial Seed, channeling the Primal Aether within his body to his Heartlight Body.

A water-colored Cross Star emerged on the young man’s forehead, then spawned ten other stars, which lit up one by one, forming a Crown of Stars.

The ‘Guiding Star’ remained as it first appeared; its main body, the largest and brightest cross-shaped star, flickered on Ian’s forehead, two relatively bright, warm-toned cross stars positioned on either side as guards, while the other dim cross stars formed the ring.

But, unlike before, when Ian tried to activate it but failed,

With the support of Primordial Aether, the entire Guiding Star burst into light.

Not just that…

In that instant, the phantasms of Swarms and Spirit Disasters, in those two stars shimmering with gentle light…

vanished in a flash.
