Su Xiao’s thoughts were fixed on the purple crystal fragment floating in front of the puppet, surrounded by thirteen motes of thought.
After a quick discernment, Su Xiao recognized the meaning of the dream language murmurs.
"...invading dreams...thoughts discerning...malleable body...uh, no, it's plastic body...these, these are..."
"These are the names of the mind abilities mastered by the Faceless Ones!"
Su Xiao's sense of strangeness grew even stronger. He had an intuition that as long as he manipulated the puppet to touch the crystal fragment in the sea of thoughts, the fragment's power would randomly infuse into one of the surrounding motes of thought.
"What does this mean..."
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao controlled the puppet to touch the crystal fragment.
As soon as the puppet’s finger touched the purple crystal fragment, the fragment’s color flowed away like red wine breaking from a transparent glass bottle and surged into the surrounding motes of thought.
In Su Xiao's "dumbfounded" observation, this mote of thought began to emit a faint light.
Su Xiao was shocked.
In the "General Meditation Method," from an ordinary person to a practitioner, one must go through three stages: Dust, Star Dust, and Star Light.
The hallmark of the Star Dust stage is when the motes of thought emit a faint glow, like star dust!
At this point, as long as heart force is infused into this mote of thought, it can be nurtured and its power can be activated.
This means that Su Xiao is no longer just an ordinary person with a strange puppet but a true quasi-practitioner!
He has entered the Star Dust realm.
Su Xiao thought it through and understood.
"This is a lottery! I killed a Dream Clan, and I can randomly draw one of its abilities as mine?"
"I'm cheating?"
Su Xiao's thoughts immersed into that mote of Star Dust.
By doing this, Su Xiao could directly understand its general effect and how to use it.
Mind power and the knowledge to use it are often linked!
The Faceless Ones have a total of fifteen mind abilities: Dream Invasion, Reality Projection, Psychic Shield, Thought Discernment, Familiar Face, Plastic Body, Mind Link, Psychic Charm, Body Healing, Self-Strike, Psychic Probe, Psychic Shock, Pain Transfer, Void Hand, Pain Sympathize.
And Su Xiao's lottery range was only thirteen.
Maybe because Su Xiao didn't wait for the other two motes to be attracted before he started, or maybe some mind abilities are unique to the Dream Clan and cannot be drawn by Su Xiao as a human, such as "Reality Projection."
As soon as Su Xiao's thoughts immersed, he knew the capability of this mind ability.
"It turned out to be Psychic Shock, a purely offensive mind ability that condenses one's mind power into a needle, stabbing the enemy, causing damage..."
"It is ineffective against humans protected by the Clear Mind Mantra and against inanimate objects without minds, purely a mind-level attack."
"In terms of grading, Psychic Shock is a Grade Six Star Mantra. If used as the core mantra, it can be cultivated up to the Fourth Level of Illumination."
The grade of the core mantra determines a practitioner's limit!
Practitioners are generally divided into nine levels, with three major barriers: "Illumination" at the third level, "Transcendence" at the sixth level, which are significant barriers marking major differences. Practitioners of the same rank, whether illuminated or transcended, have vastly different strengths.
A Grade One core mantra's limit is Transcendence Level Nine.
A Grade Two core mantra's limit is Transcendence Level Eight.
A Grade Three core mantra's limit is Transcendence Level Seven.
A Grade Four core mantra's limit is Illumination Level Six.
A Grade Five core mantra's limit is Illumination Level Five.
A Grade Six core mantra's limit is Illumination Level Four.
A Grade Seven core mantra's limit is Illumination Level Three.
A Grade Eight core mantra's limit is Sorcerer Level Two.
A Grade Nine core mantra can barely cultivate to become a formal practitioner, with Sorcerer Level One as the limit.
If corresponding to the power system of the evil entities, the Sorcerer realm and quasi-practitioners correspond to lower-tier entities, the Illumination realm corresponds to upper-tier entities, the Transcendence realm corresponds to demon-level entities, and above Transcendence, the "Saints and Sages" correspond to marquis-level entities.
Great demon-level entities and leviathan-level entities have no correspondence as no human has reached their level.
But Star Mantras don’t necessarily have to be used as core mantras. In the quasi-practitioner stage, one can continue meditating until a better Star Mantra appears.
Only when the first one is fully illuminated, forming a star shape, and placed in the center of the sea of thoughts, does it become the core mantra.
Su Xiao even knew that some wealthy people, almost forming a star-shaped Star Mantra, would despise its low grade and continue to meditate until another high-grade Star Mantra appeared and then place it in the center of the sea of thoughts as the core mantra.
If it were Su Xiao before, he might directly cultivate "Psychic Shock" as the core mantra, but now with the puppet, and this Star Mantra coming so easily, Su Xiao wouldn’t settle for it.
"Assuming it is possible to kill an evil entity and draw a Star Mantra, those Grade One core mantras..."
A Grade One core mantra!
Only one in a billion ordinary people can directly awaken a Grade One core mantra!
Most Grade One core mantras are not directly awakened but obtained from other "Supreme Chapters" or analyzed and obtained from the corpses of "marquis-level entities."
Many deduced Grade One Star Mantra abilities even exist only theoretically; no one has actually cultivated them, such as certain abilities possessed by marquis-level entities that scientists believe to be Grade One Star Mantra abilities but are not mastered by any human.
Moreover, many Grade One core mantra practitioners originally had Grade Two or Grade Three mantras and elevated them through mantra sublimation.
True practitioners who start with a Grade One core mantra are extremely rare!
Furthermore, the core mantra not only determines the practitioner's limit but also the breadth of future cultivation.
If your core mantra is of the divination type, learning non-divination Star Mantras will require much more time, effort, and resources, and the learning difficulty will increase.
If Su Xiao chose "Psychic Shock" as the core mantra, it would be very difficult to learn other types of Star Mantras in the future, although it would be easy to learn mind-related Star Mantras.
In short, the closer the type and field of other Star Mantras to the core mantra, the easier they are to learn.
"Also, consider the situation of transcendent classes..." Su Xiao's eyes moved slightly.
He had already made up his mind to go back and thoroughly research the information.
Since it is possible to draw Star Mantras, Su Xiao will plan out the strongest path.
"There are so many Grade One Star Mantra abilities, I need to choose the one that suits me best..." Su Xiao pondered.
"But how to kill an evil entity with a Grade One Star Mantra ability..."
...
When the rescue team practitioner Feng Xingchen, fully equipped with protective gear, entered the ward and began checking the condition of the victims, he couldn't help but glance at Su Xiao.
Immediately, Feng Xingchen felt a hint of sympathy.
"Grinning so stupidly, he must have hurt his brain and been left with psychological trauma. Sigh, we need to provide more psychological counseling..."
