Chapter 355: I Am the Sun!

Fionrides handed the high-level cultivation method to Li Wei.

He said, "This is the latest research achievement of the Hall of Truth, the Sun Gazing Meditation."

Li Wei took the book made of unknown beast skin.

He opened the Sun Gazing Meditation to examine it.

Soon he discovered the difference between the high-level cultivation method and the Crystal Meditation.

The Crystal Meditation cultivates one's own mana.

Not only the Crystal Meditation, but any advanced meditation cultivates one's own mana.

Making one's own mana possess different characteristics.

Novice meditation simply requires cultivating out mana.

Advanced meditation refines mana, allowing mana to possess various different characteristics.

High-level cultivation methods have already jumped out of their own framework, breaking free from self-imposed limitations.

Drawing power from the outside world, seizing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.

This is the reason why Archmages can cast spells far exceeding their own power.

They borrowed the power of heaven and earth.

In fact, mages have always been borrowing power from the outside world.

Even the weakest mage casts spells using the wandering magical elements between heaven and earth.

However, the power borrowed by Archmages is more powerful and more concrete.

Sun Gazing Meditation, gazing upon the blazing sun to cultivate, drawing upon the power of the sun, cultivating the hottest mana.

At the same time, it allows borrowing the power of the sun.

Under the blazing sun, a mage's strength increases, and spell power becomes stronger.

The potency of the Sun Gazing Meditation is very strong.

Data provided by the Hall of Truth indicates that after cultivating the Sun Gazing Meditation, at peak state, fire spell power can increase fivefold.

However, the flaws are also obvious.

First, the cultivation of the Sun Gazing Meditation has very high requirements for the environment.

The better the weather, the larger the sun, the better the cultivation effect.

Cloudy days and nights cannot be cultivated.

And one must also note that during cultivation, one might accidentally ignite oneself.

One slip of the mind leads to spontaneous combustion.

Combat power increases hugely during the day, while on cloudy days and at night, combat power hardly increases at all.

The advantages of the Sun Gazing Meditation are obvious, and its flaws are also obvious.

Fionrides said, "Ordinary high-level cultivation methods usually can boost an Archmage's strength by at most one to two times; the Sun Gazing Meditation's highest bonus multiplier is the strongest among all high-level cultivation methods within the Elemental Tower."

"You have seen the flaws yourself; these are the known flaws currently researched by the Hall of Truth. Whether there are other flaws, the Hall of Truth does not know either."

"In my opinion, if you can deduce a more stable version of the Sun Gazing Meditation, that would be best."

The Sun Gazing Meditation is too extreme and not suitable for promotion.

The Hall of Truth wants a slightly more stable Sun Gazing Meditation, so that it suits more people.

Li Wei put down the Sun Gazing Meditation.

Characters appeared before his eyes.

[Sun Gazing Meditation (Tier Four)] 0/10000

He actually thought the Sun Gazing Meditation was quite good.

After all, he was not afraid of spontaneous combustion.

Naturally, the stronger the power, the better.

The Sun Gazing Meditation's weakness on cloudy and dark days.

Li Wei could barely accept it.

Being able to solve this problem would naturally be best.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "Must one cultivate under the scorching sun? Is there anything else that can replace it?"

He did not object to sunbathing, but feared that if it were overcast for months on end, would he still cultivate?

Fionrides said, "According to experiments, using Sunlight Essence for cultivation yields the same effect."

"However, as you know, obtaining Sunlight Essence is so difficult; the cost-performance ratio is worse than chasing the sun."

Li Wei nodded.

Sunlight Essence is not only difficult to obtain but also difficult to preserve.

Just the magical tools for storing Sunlight Essence are worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Ordinary items cannot withstand the high temperature of Sunlight Essence, unable to restrain the power of Sunlight Essence.

But this does not mean Li Wei does not want a piece of Sunlight Essence.

Li Wei curiously asked, "How exactly does the Hall of Truth obtain Sunlight Essence? Ascend the sun?"

Fionrides thought for a moment before deciding to tell Li Wei.

"Naturally, the interior of the sun possesses much Sunlight Essence, but we cannot approach the sun; only Star Realm Mages have the strength for that."

"We extract Sunlight Essence from Sunfire Meteorites."

"Sunfire Meteorites?" Li Wei showed confusion, having never heard of such a thing.

Fionrides said, "Every once in a while, the sun ejects a large amount of matter, which includes Sunfire Meteorites containing Sunlight Essence."

"Most of this matter will return to the sun again; only a tiny fraction will detach from the sun and fly to various places in the Star Realm."

"We establish magical arrays in the Star Realm to capture this matter coming from the sun; Sunfire Meteorites are just one type of harvest."

"However, in recent years, the matter ejected by the sun has decreased greatly, and the harvested Sunlight Essence has also decreased greatly."

Li Wei understood.

He knew it was almost impossible for him to get Sunlight Essence on his own.

This thing must be found in the Star Realm.

With his current strength, even if he went to the Star Realm, he had absolutely no ability to seize Sunlight Essence.

Li Wei decided to ignore it for now and cultivate the Sun Gazing Meditation for a period first.

If that fails, change to another high-level cultivation method.

After leaving the Hall of Truth, Li Wei returned to the Realm of Resounding Heaven.

Within the Realm of Resounding Heaven, various environments of the world are included, all artificially divided and created areas.

Every student of the Purple Class could find the cultivation environment best suited to them within the Domain of Resounding Heaven.

Li Wei searched for a place bathed in sunlight to cultivate the Blazing Sun Visualization Method.

Visualizing a fierce sun within his mind.

This posed no difficulty for Li Wei, as the Blazing Sun Visualization Method had already entered his cultivation panel.

Attaining proficiency was merely a question of when, not if.

Soon enough, a blazing sun materialized within the sea of his heart.

Li Wei felt a stream of warmth pouring down upon his crown.

Threads of Blazing Sun power trickled into the sea of his heart, ceaselessly filling the sun residing within his mind.

According to the creator of the Blazing Sun Visualization Method, should the sun within one's heart rival the radiance of the scorching orb in the sky.

Then one could disregard the cycle of day and night, wielding the potent amplification of solar power without pause.

Only in theory.

In actuality, it could only be described as fanciful delusion.

Fireflies aspiring to vie for glory against the radiant moon.

Overestimating one's own capabilities.

As the cultivation progressed deeper, Li Wei felt his entire body beginning to heat up.

Countless currents of heat from the heavens drilled into his flesh, while the sun in the sea of his heart continued to swell.

Li Wei's mana was also surging upward rapidly.

Illuminated by the sun in the sea of his heart, his spiritual energy began to rise slowly.

His spiritual energy already vastly surpassed his current realm, though its growth rate lagged far behind that of his mana.

That the Blazing Sun Visualization Method could bolster spiritual energy came as a surprise to Li Wei.

Suddenly, Li Wei caught a whiff of acrid smoke.

He cast a distracted glance around, finding the small grass beside the rock beneath him scorched by the intense heat into a withered yellow hue, emitting wisps of pale smoke.

Were it not for the fact that his garments were magical items.

Li Wei's clothes would have long since been consumed by fire.

Given this state of cultivation, it was inevitable that his attire would eventually ignite.

Li Wei shifted his intent, transforming into the Flame Lord form.

Upon assuming the stance of the Flame Lord.

He discovered that cultivating the Scorching Sun Visualization became even swifter.

Indeed, his physical form directly transformed into a scorching sun itself.

No longer restricted to the sun within the sea of his heart.

I am the sun!
