Chapter 825: Chapter 504: Star Seed and Sowing
The magnetic star seed, only the size of a rice grain, appears as a spindle-shaped, silver-gray particle with distinct edges. Its magnetic field is extremely contained, and its strength is over ten thousand times greater, creating a void in electromagnetic induction.
The magnetic star seed is the foundation of the elemental magnetic array.
When Ji Xinghuo applied for a star seed, every magnetic star seed he received contained his personal information within.
The implantation location and serial number were fixed, tailor-made.
Even if it’s used to construct an elemental magnetic array, giving this magnetic star seed to someone else would render it unusable.
Ji Xinghuo examined it briefly before beginning the implantation.
A thread of electromagnetic star power was injected into it, activating the seed. The magnetic star seed lightly vibrated and then levitated, emitting a dazzling light. Thin currents burst forth, and the air echoed with a radiation screech.
Szzzz...
Ji Xinghuo controlled the magnetic star seed to approach him, pressing it gently against his chest. With a soft touch of his finger, it merged into his skin, entering his body.
He felt a paralyzing current deep in his chest, quickly reaching the star gland next to his heart. This served as a locator, and after several adjustments, it settled in a fixed position not far from the star gland, remaining motionless.
The entire process was nearly automatic, requiring little concern on his part.
Once the magnetic star seed found its position, it established a connection with the star gland, forming a magnetic field channel between the two.
At all times, star power flowed from the star gland into the star seed and then returned to the star gland.
It’s a very simple two-point, one-line cycle.
With each cycle, the star seed enlarges slightly. This growth is very subtle, and even with Ji Xinghuo’s acute perception, he needs to wait two to three hours to complete tens of thousands of cycles before noticing any change.
"Condensing the star seed is indeed difficult."
Ji Xinghuo shook his head silently.
However, the benefits of the star seed are also apparent. In these two hours or so, without even focusing on cultivation, his star power increased.
Originally, it was 281897 (50000).
Now, it has broken through the limit, becoming 281900 (50000), increasing by 3 points.
Condensing the star seed can also be cultivated. Ji Xinghuo tried for a few hours and found that the cultivation efficiency improved by about 10%. This is the effect of the magnetic star seed, though it’s still just an empty shell.
From star seed to node, there are three steps.
The first step is implantation, which he completed;
The second step is to cultivate the star seed and make it grow stronger; this process is similar to cultivation, enhancing the mutant’s star power cultivation;
The third step, when the star seed shell stabilizes, star power growth will cease, then abilities can be transferred into it, allowing further cultivation to continue, increasing star power to the limit, ultimately forming a node.
At the same time, only one star seed can be condensed.
At least this is how the elemental magnetic array works; the previous star seed must condense into a node before the next star seed can be condensed until 11 nodes are formed, constructing the most basic elemental magnetic array.
Ji Xinghuo quickly adapted to the cultivation of node condensation, which was not much different from previous cultivation practices.
It just requires a bit more concentration.
He contemplated, "A magnetic star seed, when its shell condenses to about 8000 points of star power, can then transfer the abilities into it."
"The quality and level of the abilities determine the limit of this star seed."
"At the maximum, it can increase star power by 30,000 points."
"I currently have 29 abilities." Ji Xinghuo calculated briefly, "14 Star Fall Abilities, 2 Solar Eclipse Abilities, 12 Transcendent Abilities, and 1 Superior Ability. The only Superior Ability is Star Force, currently at the seventh level."
"Whether in terms of the quality or level of abilities, both are sufficient to cultivate each star seed node to its utmost."
"All 29 nodes form an array, and star power could reach 1.2 million!"
"Hiss..."
Even Ji Xinghuo himself found it hard to believe.
Generally speaking, an ordinary Heavenly King at the sixth rank’s peak would have about 300,000 star power; he already surpassed that.
For those on the Star Ascension Sequence, the Fourth Sequence at the sixth rank’s peak can reach 400,000 star power.
The Third Sequence can exceed 500,000 star power.
The Second Sequence, also known as the Hidden Dragon Series, the top-tier talents in star power should be above 600,000, maybe even higher.
As for the Infinite Sequence prodigy, Ji Xinghuo couldn’t determine.
He expected it wouldn’t surpass a million star power.
"Purely in terms of star power cultivation, even at the sixth rank’s peak, I’m already stronger than the infinite sequence prodigies."
As Ji Xinghuo thought this, he suddenly chuckled.
Star power cultivation doesn’t determine a mutant’s full strength; it also depends on the ability system. He doubted that there was any mutant below the seventh rank with stronger or superior abilities than he possessed.
"Take it slowly."
"29 star seed nodes; even in secluded cultivation, it would take about ten years to reach the sixth rank’s peak."
Ji Xinghuo wasn’t in a hurry at all.
Since meeting Quigang that day, he realized he possessed a long lifespan, shifting his perception of time slightly.
With invincibility under the seventh rank and the Titanium Cobalt Family backing him, as long as he didn’t provoke enemies at the Dragon Emperor Level, there wouldn’t be any crisis; the pace of life and cultivation could relax.
After half a day’s cultivation, Ji Xinghuo went out.
A streak of electricity flashed across the sky above Titanium Ring City, landing at Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s villa. She had just completed her martial arts training for the day. Seeing Ji Xinghuo arrive, she gave him a sweet smile and pulled him into the large swimming pool in the backyard.
After some enthusiastic communication, they half lay on the sunbeds at the edge of the pool, basking in the exposure bath.
Ji Xinghuo glanced at Titanium Cobalt Qingwei’s flat abdomen.
"Still no movement?"
"None yet."
