Your "Proficiency" trait is too overpowered.
It has completely baffled the Shen Family.
When the Shen Family higher-ups heard that the Mirror Wielder selection had already produced a result, they initially thought the lower-ranking clan members were making baseless rumors and causing trouble, trying to trick these old fellows into making a wasted trip.
But when they arrived at the star you were on and personally sensed the aura of the Three Energies emanating from your body—precisely the "Stellar Metamorphosis Profound Art," the "Stellar Martial Spirit Profound Art," and the "Stellar Heart Forging Mystic Art"—they were all stunned.
"Genius?"
"He's a prodigy!"
"Why didn't he comprehend this quickly before?"
"This is what's called 'understanding one thing opens up a hundred others'!"
"Pity his innate talent is a bit lacking."
"It doesn't matter."
"That's true."
The Shen Family higher-ups examined you while discussing among themselves.
Clan Leader Shen Yue, and one of the elders you had met before, Shen Wanquan, were both among them.
Shen Yue walked up to you.
As the clan leader, he was usually stern and unsmiling.
But today, seeing you, it was as if he had seen some great treasure, unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Not only did you learn three techniques at the fastest speed, but the realms of your external and internal techniques have both reached Minor Achievement! The Mirror Wielder selection has been held many times, but you are the most gifted I have ever seen!"
Upon hearing this, the Shen Family higher-ups all crowded around, scrutinizing you from head to toe.
You knew they weren't really looking at you with their eyes, but with their spiritual sense.
This meant you were being seen completely bare.
Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Nine Provinces Cauldron were no ordinary items; they were hidden well enough that these people couldn't detect them.
You coughed and looked at Shen Wanquan.
"Elder, do you remember the agreement you made with me last year?"
Shen Wanquan was taken aback, clearly having paid you no mind before.
"What agreement?"
"That if I become the Mirror Wielder, the Shen Family would help me break through to the Spirit Sea Realm!"
"That's not important anymore. First, come with us to try and wield the Qiankun Mirror, just focus on being the Mirror Wielder."
"Too fake..."
Both the Chen Yi inside and outside the simulation could see right now that the Shen Family wasn't even bothering to act.
What sense did it make to let a Golden Body Realm martial artist wield the clan's treasure?
"They've invested so many resources and time; they're in a hurry to 'cash out'..."
Chen Yi estimated that the Shen Family's scheme was about to be revealed.
Seeing Shen Wanquan trying to renege on the debt, you immediately showed your displeasure.
Before you could erupt, Shen Yue raised his hand and spoke.
"No matter. Elder Wanquan, arrange it for him. The 'Mirror Wielder' is him. After he breaks through, take him to the Star Force Mystic Realm immediately!"
Shen Yue and the group of Shen Family higher-ups flew away.
Shen Wanquan stayed behind and began arranging personnel to notify the grandmasters in the three fields of formation arts, talisman arts, and alchemy within the Starry Domains.
Shen Linfeng and his granddaughter Shen Yufeng walked over to you.
Shen Yufeng seemed to want to say something but hesitated. She thought for a moment and was just about to speak when Shen Linfeng pressed her back.
Shen Linfeng asked,
"Shen Yi, if I tell you that after becoming the 'Mirror Wielder,' you won't need your cultivation realm, would you still insist on breaking through?"
"Break through! I must break through! All external power is illusory; only one's own cultivation is real!"
Shen Linfeng and his granddaughter looked at you, dumbfounded.
It seemed they weren't really looking at you, but at someone else.
The Three Heavens Method began, right there on your little star.
The Shen Family of the Starry Domains' most powerful alchemist, formation master, and talisman master took out precious resources they had hoarded for years.
They had you stand on the Seven Stars Meridian-Piercing Formation, take the Dawn Sun Azure Fall Pill orally, and cover your entire body with Starry Sky Borrowing Power Talismans.
These were all Heaven-Grade resources, now all invested in you alone!
Your Low-Grade Bone Structure was like a powerful shackle, firmly restraining your cultivation.
The grandmasters of the Three Great Paths, with the resources in their hands, assisted you in assaulting this intangible shackle together.
This process was agonizing.
You had to fight against yourself!
"Shen Yi! Hold on! Your consciousness must not blur; stay awake!"
Shen Linfeng stood outside the formation, constantly reminding you of the precautions.
Your body deformed several times, as if it were about to explode and perish.
But each time, you managed to regulate your energy flow through cultivation, suppressing it back.
Your Low-Grade Bone Structure was like a powerful shackle, firmly restraining your cultivation.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron!
The power of the Three Heavens Method was indeed immense, capable of breaking open a person's fundamental shackles.
But like chemotherapy, it was a double-edged sword.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron within your body emitted divine power, helping you stabilize your body and energy. It also used the energy delivered by the Three Heavens Method, transforming it into a continuous stream of vitality.
During the process of activating this method, those grandmasters discovered, to their astonishment, that your vitality was not weakening due to the impact of the Three Heavens Method, but instead growing increasingly vigorous.
"This person is extraordinary. Could it be some special innate talent disguised as Low-Grade Bone Structure?"
"Perhaps some special constitution."
"What a pity..."
"Brother Kang, be careful with your words!"
The Three Heavens Method lasted a full ten days.
You endured the pain of your body being on the verge of explosion for ten days.
When it all ended, within your Twelve Main Meridians, one meridian had developed a spiritual energy vortex. This was the mark of First Level Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.
The Spirit Sea Realm has twelve levels in total; cultivating twelve vortices signifies Perfection.
"You've broken through!"
