The method to obtain celestial spirit qi involves utilizing the six Eternal Stars formed from the Eternal and Creation Sword.
Although these six Eternal Stars cannot bypass the rules of the Douluo Continent, they can assist Tang San in opening a passage between the divine realm and the Douluo plane.
The process is subtle and discreet.
In terms of spatial paths, even the Five Great Gods of the divine realm cannot match the achievements of the Lord of Eternity.
"That super artifact?" Bibi Dong, who had witnessed the battle between Tang San and Xu Huang, was aware that Tang San had shattered the Eternal and Creation Sword into six dim stars. She was surprised that these stars could connect to the divine realm and allow the transfer of celestial spirit qi to the Douluo Continent.
"That said, truly establishing the connection may require considerable time for experimentation. I don't yet know how to use it properly. Additionally, the Douluo Continent is surrounded by various other spatial anomalies and channels, which may lead to connections with other planes as well," Tang San began his objective analysis. "Furthermore, we must consider the possibility of detection by the divine realm. It's best to set it up in the starry world and proceed cautiously."
"Then let's leave it at that for now," Bibi Dong said, shifting the topic. "Due to the invasion of the Sun and Moon Empire, the elite competition of advanced soul master academies across the continent has been postponed. It will likely be held in July. Moreover, to recruit more talents, this time the competition will allow teams to be formed as long as the participants are not notorious criminals and meet the age requirements..."
Such rules would significantly increase the number of competing teams.
First and foremost, public security issues must be addressed.
Secondly, the competition rules need improvement; otherwise, concluding this session might take half a year.
Then there's the need to ensure a better viewing experience for the audience, as the cost of organizing the event must be recouped.
However, there are benefits as well. The most direct one is that major factions will discover previously overlooked civilian soul masters. Although they might not be as outstanding as academy soul masters, they will have their own areas of expertise, needing only a "talent scout" to recognize them.
Tang San pondered for a moment and decided to abandon further thoughts, considering, "Anyway, I'll just observe and won't participate in modifying the rules. I'll lend the computational power of [Heaven's Path] to those drafting the rules and let them handle the headaches."
"...Will you help improve the competition rules when the time comes?" Bibi Dong asked.
Unfortunately, fate seemed to have other plans. When trying to avoid something, it often falls right into his lap.
"Since the Pope has asked, I cannot refuse." After the events with Bibi Dong, Tang San felt somewhat uneasy. As long as it didn't violate his principles, he agreed to her request.
After all, with [Heaven's Path], he could cheat without affecting his research time...

Back at the Soul Martial Manor, Tang San went to the meditation room and released the six dim Eternal Stars from his six organs. Their spiritual essence had completely dissipated.
"Brother Ilai, how do you think we should use these six Eternal Stars?" Tang San asked.
"This is the first time I've seen a part of the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne," Ilai said, manifesting his ethereal divine soul. Over the years, he carefully circled around the six Eternal Stars, examining them from every angle. He then continued, "They appear to be six peculiar light spheres, fully energy-based, so they can be absorbed into your body. However, I didn't expect that your cultivation of the Jade Bone Golden Skin Secret Technique would naturally incorporate two divine powers, the Five Organs and Five Qi and the Six Organs and Six Paths, effectively refining these six Eternal Stars."
"Not only that!" Ilai added, "I estimate that if you further refine those divine powers, you could directly refine these six Eternal Stars to enhance the essence, energy, and spirit of your entire body."
"Indeed, you're truly a genius for proposing the transformation and circulation of the essence, energy, and spirit into a cosmic cultivation method!"
Tang San "humbly" accepted Ilai's praise and then asked, "So, what kind of energy are these six Eternal Stars?"
"I'm not sure, but they are likely more than just a part of the Creation God's Throne. They might be treasures born from the space or plane where the Creation God initially emerged or perhaps the divine realm itself," Ilai shrugged, indicating his uncertainty. "In the universe, there are many planes and worlds composed solely of energy. These are potential seeds of the divine realm, and worlds that haven't yet evolved into deities often give birth to some innate treasures."
"Those are essentially innate artifacts," Ilai remarked.
"The Eternal and Creation Divine Throne is probably similar in nature. The Creation God likely was among the first to possess such an artifact."
It is undeniable that some beings are born at heights far beyond ordinary imagination.
At least, from the perspective of the mortal realm, that is the case.
"Are these akin to primordial spiritual treasures?"
"Well, using the terminology from prehistoric novels, it's quite similar."
"In that case, I suspect these items might be artificially created. After all, how could a naturally occurring divine artifact present itself in the form of a human-made creation? Even if it merely resembled human creations, it could be seen as a coincidence. However, the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne is too exquisitely detailed... Setting aside the illusion of being a naturally formed object, its design shows clear signs of human craftsmanship." Tang San would not overlook this detail. He did not deny the artistry of nature and the cosmos but noted that the "masterpiece" looked like something only an intelligent being could have crafted.
The implications of this issue are profound.
Could it be a higher-dimensional projection of certain energy regions within the universe?
"Contemplating these matters is a waste of time for us now. We should focus on practical issues," Ilai advised. "Your inner alchemical elixir contains greed, anger, and delusion, and it seems the delusion is affecting you."
"Indeed!" Tang San snapped back to awareness, realizing a strange sense of dread rising within him. "It seems my victory over Xu Huang, who wielded the Eternal and Creation Armor, led to a subconscious sense of arrogance, causing me to mismanage my own emotions. I must remain vigilant in maintaining my mental state."
"Greed, anger, and delusion are truly insidious," Ilai added with a trace of unease in his eyes.
"Humans have these tendencies, and gods do as well," Ilai continued. "All conflicts and karmic relations in the world are largely caused by these three delusions."
"To some extent, they are even more fundamental than good and evil thoughts."
"You must be more cautious."
Tang San nodded, aware that despite having cultivated his divine consciousness, he was only at the beginning of his spiritual journey and had much further to go.
"I will be more mindful in the future... For now, I need to decide how to use these six Eternal Stars."
"Ilai, do you think it's better to refine them into a new divine throne or to store them in the starry world and set up something like a formation to connect with other planes in the future?"
"I suggest you first find a way to communicate with the Eternal Domain within the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne for evaluation," Ilai replied calmly. "Although these six Eternal Stars have lost all their spirituality, they are still a part of a super artifact. The connection remains. Enter it, defeat the Eternal Lord, and become the true master of the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne!"
