During Vown's observation, Zayn was taught by Infinite Star a crucial method for Infinite Star's plan.
Vown only noticed that throughout Zayn's meditative state his Qi completely vanished.
"Trust me it'll work. You only need to follow the steps, I'll guide you along with it. If anything unexpected happens, I'll also guide you." Infinite Star reassured Zayn.
"All right!" After hearing Infinite Star's plan, Zayn was now confident in his undertaking of entering the cave and absorbing the Star Body.
He immediately headed towards the cave, from which the Python Beast was coming from.
Behind him, Vown, enraged, followed in pursuit.
Right at that moment, where Zayn was nearly entering the cave, Vown appeared. He was so fast that Zayn wasn't able to react and bumped into Vown.
"What the hell are you doing?!?"
"Vown?"
"Are you really entering the cave of the Python Beast?!?"
"Ehm... Well... Yeah?"
"Yeah? YEAH?!? Zayn this is suicide! What are you trying to achieve?"
"It's not that dangerous... I've already a plan in hand."
"Not that dangerous?!? Do you really think it's a cakewalk?!? This is the cave of the Python Beast! A beast which can easily slaughter you within a breath!"
"I'm well aware of that, Vown. But I've already laid out a-"
"Zayn, if you really are going on with this foolish undertaking, then don't count on me! I can't help you here! If your plan was to rely on me, then forget it! The Python Beast is far too dangerous for you alone!"
After hearing of Vown not willing to protect Zayn, if he would enter the cave, Zayn began to think again his undertaking. He reasoned everything inside him again.
Vown, noticing this, was really happy with that. He truly didn't wish for Zayn to be such a reckless person, who would throw away his life, only for a few chances. The process of Zayn thinking about his undertaking was even enough for Vown. He now knew that Zayn would realize the potential dangers in which he positioned himself and dismiss his goal to enter the cave.
"I'm sorry, Vown! I can't do that. I know, for sure, that I'll be able to do what I've planned!"
"What the hell, Zayn?!? Do you really think that it's worth it? You're probably attracted to the Qi Source.
Let me tell you something! You're not the first and you won't be the last to attempt to absorb the Qi Source of the Python Beast Forest.
Do you know how many achieved their goal in absorbing the Qi Source? None! Do you know why? Simple, it's just impossible! The Qi Source, somehow, declines the cultivator, and in the worst cases even kill them. This undertaking is only high-risk, no reward!
Let's say that you're able to do the impossible, that's not that uncommon with you... How the hell would you escape from the Python Beast? It would immediately notice that the Qi Source would be missing and then hunt you because of your presence there!"
Zayn, hearing all this, completely ignored all major parts. He only replied with a short answer.
"I know what I'm doing!"
"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?!? Zayn, don't take it the wrong way, but your knowledge about cultivation is non-existing! You're not able to reason logically with that much missing knowledge!"
"I know! My knowledge is lacking, but it's not non-existing! The Python Beast is probably a descendant from the White-Eyed Python Beast. These beasts are completely blind. Still, they have a great Spirit Sense, with that, they are able to easily track and hunt preys.
But, as you can, or better put not can sense, is my Qi! I've found a method to completely erase my Qi and make it vanish and still easily move with that.
When a cultivator retracts their Qi, they need to be fully focused and can't easily move while retracting their Qi. I've found a way around that.
So, the Python Beast isn't able to use its Spirit Sense to detect me. It's still able to use its other senses, but if I'm careful I could easily sneak up to the Qi Source.
There's no real danger to this!"
Zayn explained nearly everything which he learned from Infinite Star about the matter. He presented it quite confidently and impressed Vown with it.
Vown began to sigh and understood that Zayn wasn't acting recklessly. He had a plan for this matter. A well-thought-out plan. Vown, himself, didn't understand all parts of Zayn's plan, but he wanted to trust in Zayn's own reasoning.
After Zayn presented his plan to Vown, Vown decided to let Zayn do what he wants. He disappeared in an instant, and only his message was left to be heard.
"All right, Zayn! But you're on your own!"
Following this message, Zayn stopped once again, but in a second he affirmed himself back to his undertaking and swiftly entered the cave.
.
As Zayn entered the cave he noticed that it wasn't completely dark inside, as he was expecting.
As if a slightly dimmed light was brightening the cave. One could still discern the walls and the surroundings.
After entering the cave Zayn began to sneak. He had to be really careful in his every movement. The Python Beast was blind, but it's other senses were still existing.
As he headed deeper and deeper into the cave, Zayn noticed that the temperature was increasing the more he stepped into the cave. Not only that but also the purity of the Qi was increasing.
Zayn instantly discerned that the Qi around here was far superior thant the Qi in the cultivation side. Zayn estimated that it was ten times, or even more, purer than the Qi in the cultivation side.
If he would cultivate here, his cultivation speed would rocket to the top. But he would also alarm the Python Beast and put himself in danger.
As Zayn entered the main side of the cave, he noticed an Orb of Qi in the center of the place. Infinite Star told him that it was the Star Body. A true and genuine Star Body.
This Orb of Qi felt so majestic and empowering that it overwhelmed Zayn the first time he sensed it directly.
It glowed and emitted a deep dark blue colored Qi. This Qi felt from this distance far more mysterious than any Qi before felt.
Right when Zayn noticed the Star Body, he also noticed the Python Beast there. It was lying there, below the Orb of Qi.
Zayn also noticed that it was sleeping, as Zayn and Infinite Star planned.
Infinite Star previously told Zayn that the Python Beast would sleep during the day and hunt during the night so it would be best to enter after it entered its sleep.
Learning the new method, to erased one's Qi, took Zayn about half an hour. Infinite Star estimated that the Python Beast should be asleep by now, but he wasn't sure of it.
And now, they saw right in front of them the Python Beast sleeping.
The center of the cave, in which the Star Body was, was extremely huge. It was able to easily fit in the monstrous Python Beast and still make the place seem big.
As Zayn concentrated on the Star Body again, he heard a laughter from inside his head.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
It was obviously Infinite Star who was laughing his ass off.
Zayn was confused as to why Infinite Star was laughing.
"What is going on?!?"
Infinite Star continued to laugh. "What a fitting Star! Hahahahahahahahaahahah!"
"What?!? Explain!"
"The Star, it's called the Sirius Star! But we also call it the Dog Star! Hahahaahahahahahahahah!"
Zayn was confused. The Dog Star? This didn't sound so majestic and empowering as it felt like. And taking Infinite Star's laughing into account, it felt like he did lose out here.
