Inside the Meteor Star's cultivation chamber.
Jiang Yan's spiritual telekinesis poured into the jade slip as he carefully studied the introductory chapter of [Thunder Forging God].
"Hiss—!"
The moment he finished reading, Jiang Yan sucked in a cold breath.
"So this technique uses thunder and lightning to split and temper one's spiritual mind and spiritual will?"
"That's downright perverted!"
No wonder Babata had warned him—if one wasn't careful while cultivating [Thunder Forging God], the soul itself could be injured.
What were spiritual souls most afraid of?
Masculine, destructive forces—thunder, lightning, and heavenly punishment.
Yet this technique used thunder to refine the spirit itself.
It was insanity.
"If I didn't have a golden finger…" Jiang Yan muttered, "this would be pure suffering."
After finishing the jade slip, the system immediately synchronized the information to his panel.
[Thunder Forging God: Planetary Chapter (Progress: 0/100)]
"Begin cultivation," Jiang Yan said firmly.
"Break through to planetary-level spiritual master in one go."
He took a deep breath and began cultivating according to the method recorded in [Thunder Forging God].
His first awakened genetic power was the Law of Lightning.
This technique wasn't just suitable for him—it was practically tailor-made.
Jiang Yan sat cross-legged in the center of the chamber.
With a single thought, the eight planetary cores within his body awakened like living beings. Purple-gold lightning surged forth, flowing through his bones and meridians before converging inside his sea of consciousness.
A blazing sphere of lightning took shape.
He steadied his breathing and slowly extended his spiritual power—thin as silk—toward the lightning sphere.
Buzz—!
The instant they made contact, Jiang Yan's entire body convulsed violently.
It felt as though lightning had struck his soul directly.
A sharp, penetrating pain followed the spiritual thread straight into his consciousness. Jiang Yan clenched his teeth as fine beads of sweat seeped from his temples.
Suppressing the pain, he followed the technique precisely, forcing the lightning sphere to split into countless microscopic arcs that wrapped evenly around his spiritual telekinesis.
Each strand of lightning felt like a red-hot branding iron—burning, tearing, and refining his mental power.
It was as if his soul had been thrown into endless purgatory.
[Thunder Forging God Progress +1]
[Thunder Forging God Progress +1]
[Spiritual Master Progress +1]
[Spiritual Master Progress +1]
System prompts flashed continuously.
"Don't stop…" Jiang Yan repeated silently. "I can't stop."
Time lost all meaning.
All he knew was that his spiritual mind was slowly transforming—becoming purer, tougher, and more condensed.
He pushed even further, forcibly merging his spiritual will into his telekinesis, allowing the lightning to penetrate down to the soul level.
Instantly, it felt as if countless thunder needles were stabbing into his consciousness.
His vision went dark.
But Jiang Yan held on.
As the refinement continued, his spiritual power began to glow faintly with a pale golden sheen.
The progress bar climbed steadily:
1/100…
3/100…
5/100…
Jiang Yan's hair stood on end, his body charred black as if scorched by lightning. His eyes were dull, as though his soul had been half-burned away.
When he reached his limit, he took out a grass-and-tree spirit from the storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation.
Vitality surged.
He continued.
Finally—
When the progress reached 20/100, the system notification erupted.
[Ding! You cultivated mental power through extreme self-harm, triggering the Critical Hit Rule!]
[Ten Thousand Times Critical Hit Harvest!]
[Thunder Forging God: Planetary Chapter (Progress 100/100) → Star-Level Chapter (Progress 2/100)]
[Thunder Prison Suppression Demon: Unlocked (Not Introduced)]
[Spiritual Master: Planetary Level 5 (Progress 26/100)]
Boom!
A wave of clarity exploded through Jiang Yan's sea of consciousness.
Endless insights about [Thunder Forging God] poured into his mind, as if he had cultivated it for decades.
At the same time, the number of spiritual telekinesis strands in his sea of consciousness multiplied several times over—forming from nothing.
The Jiang Yan who had looked half-dead moments ago regained vitality instantly.
"It paid off!"
Jiang Yan laughed aloud.
This ten-thousand-times critical hit had come at the perfect moment.
Not only had he broken through to Planetary Level Fifth-Order Spiritual Master, but he had also unlocked the Star-Level Chapter of [Thunder Forging God]—
—and even obtained an additional technique:
[Thunder Prison Suppression Demon].
"This is a companion technique of Thunder Forging God…" Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed.
"And it's from the illusionist lineage!"
The system was truly terrifying.
He opened his personal information panel.
[Name: Jiang Yan]
[Warrior Realm: Planetary Level 8 (15/100)]
[Spiritual Master · Illusionist: Planetary Level 5 (26/100)]
[Laws: Lightning (22/100 · Minor Success), Gold (96/100 · Entry)]
[Lightning Domain: Second Layer (18/100)]
[Movement Technique: Great Transformation Realm]

[Streamer: Realm Level]
[Techniques: Thunder Prison Suppression Demon (Unintroduced),
Thunder Forging God (Star-Level Chapter 2/100),
Ninefold Thunder Spear (Complete),
Soul Extinction (Perfect)]
"???"
Jiang Yan froze.
The "Spiritual Master" category had changed.
It now read Illusionist.
"Why illusionist?"
He frowned.
He clearly felt more like a controller—his mental manipulation was smoother than even Luo Feng's.
"Did cultivating Thunder Forging God cause the system to classify me as an illusionist?" Jiang Yan muttered.
Outside the cultivation chamber.
In the dazzling metal hall, Babata stared in disbelief.
"Planetary Level… fifth order?!"
"It's only been days!"
"He actually succeeded in cultivating Thunder Forging God?!"
"How did he do it?!"
The entire Meteor Star was under Babata's control. The moment Jiang Yan's spiritual aura surged, it sensed it immediately.
"This makes no sense!"
"He not only survived that cursed technique—his spiritual realm skyrocketed!"
"And his brain-domain width jumped to 28?!"
"The number of his spiritual telekinesis increased seven or eight times?!"
"This completely violates common sense!!"
Babata's scarlet eyes widened.
The number of spiritual telekinesis a person possessed was fixed.
Cultivation could only increase amplification, not quantity.
Jiang Yan's situation was unheard of.
"Damn it!"
"If I'd known this earlier, I would've made him my master's disciple!"
Regret flooded Babata.
But it was too late.
Luo Feng had already accepted the inheritance. Even the Inheritance Soul Seal prepared by Hu Yanbo for personal disciples had fused with him.
At this moment, Luo Feng was cultivating [Ninety-Nine Divine Forging] within the virtual space Babata created, preparing to break through to planetary-level spiritual master.
"Where's Luo Feng?"
Jiang Yan exited the cultivation chamber and frowned when he didn't see him.
Babata stared at him intensely.
"You're definitely not an Earth human," it said coldly.
"Why did you seize the body of one? Earth humans are only ninth-grade bloodlines!"
In Babata's eyes, Jiang Yan was undoubtedly some powerful existence that had descended into the galaxy and occupied a human body.
Otherwise, nothing explained his abnormal rise.
"So you really think Earth humans are useless?" Jiang Yan chuckled.
He didn't deny it.
Letting Babata believe he was an alien saved explanations later.
But belittling Earth humans?
That was unacceptable.
Bloodlines could evolve.
And soul and consciousness were the foundation of cultivation.
In this regard, Earth humans were among the most terrifying races in the universe.
"Hmph," Babata snorted. "So that's how it is."
Then Jiang Yan asked calmly,
"The technique you gave me—Thunder Forging God—it belongs to the illusionist lineage, right?"
"Correct," Babata replied.
Its original owner had indeed been an Immortal Illusionist. Had Hu Yanbo been weaker, the one who died back then would have been him.
Babata suddenly grinned maliciously.
"Oh, right. Let me give you a little reminder."
"In the seven days you were cultivating," it said playfully,
"something interesting happened outside…"
"Your little lover…"
"…is being hunted right now."
