World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1560 - 390: Dark Star Alliance Disbands

Zhang Xiaoman opened his eyes from meditation.

With a wave of his hand, the figure of Pique, who had just flown halfway, was instantly stopped and pulled back.

"Sorry, the power surged suddenly, and I couldn’t control it."

Pique’s heart pounded, and he quickly patted his clothes, saying:

"It’s okay, it’s okay, but honestly, I’ve never seen anyone reach your level after imprinting so many star patterns."

"Oh? How so? Is the increase in power from imprinting not the same for everyone?"

"Of course it’s different. It’s all about talent and accumulation; the stronger the talent and the more robust the accumulation, the more noticeable the power increase after imprinting star patterns."

Although Pique was still somewhat weak after just completing the imprint, he remained enthusiastic when discussing his expertise.

"Most people imprint star patterns shortly after awakening their dark spiritual power, so the accumulation aspect is hard to manifest... For someone like you, who hasn’t yet imprinted a second star pattern at the Control Level, I’ve hardly seen anyone else like you."

"So does this mean imprinting star patterns later yields a greater increase?"

"That’s not quite right. Imprinting earlier allows for earlier nurturing of star patterns, accumulating advantages. The development of star patterns is always a continuous process, so the effects are ultimately the same whether done sooner or later."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded in understanding. Now, with Control Level strength, the power boost from imprinting star patterns would be greater than that of the Enlightenment Level.

Feeling the power within, he sensed every pore opening up in his body.

A profound sense of ease spread throughout him, as if even impurities within his body were being cleansed.

"Hmm? It seems this isn’t an illusion..."

Turning his head, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly noticed black stains left on the remains of the formation beneath his feet.

He sensed briefly and realized those were indeed the impurities expelled from his body.

"These methods of imprinting star patterns are indeed mysterious and powerful..."

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but marvel at the effectiveness of this method, which intrigued him further about the Aigus Star Domain from which it originated.

Now, Zhang Xiaoman had completed the imprinting of his second star pattern; the next step was to nurture it.

Compared to the first star pattern, the nurturing of the second would take noticeably more time.

By the standard cultivation "Nine Luminaries Guiding Skill – Star Pattern Edition" speed, it would take more than two years to achieve.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman had the coin-infusion secret technique.

With the unique formation support from Pique Star and spiritual medicines aiding his cultivation, it was estimated he needed about a year to nurture the star pattern.

"A year... it’s still quite long..."

Zhang Xiaoman sighed inwardly, realizing that after adopting these Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance cultivation methods, he was becoming akin to characters in novels, engaging in prolonged meditation retreats.

But it was unavoidable.

The late-stage cultivation of Dark Spirits hardly yielded significant advancements overnight.

Advancement in almost every realm requires substantial accumulation.

This holds true not only in the Dark Star Alliance but also on Divine Ancient Star in the First Universe.

"Star Dust spent quite a bit on materials earlier, and even if I use up all my chances in the lottery now, I’m still a bit short..."

Upon checking his remaining Star Dust, Zhang Xiaoman found it still insufficient to purchase a World Tree clone, missing by about twenty units.

"Hmm... Hillna and others are still nurturing their star patterns, likely not done for another month or more..."

He glanced at the others, noting that aside from Ifei and the newly arrived group of undead giant dragons, most were busy with their own cultivation.

Even Ziwei remained in seclusion, contemplating the 62 Sequence of Dark Spirit Particles, still without result.

Considering the remaining time, Zhang Xiaoman decided not to waste it and dismissed the idea of returning to the First Universe for now, planning to start nurturing his star pattern here.

Despite being in the Dark Star Alliance, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t require the World Tree clone to return if he wanted to. He could easily traverse back through a random dimension rift.

Though the generation of dimension rifts is random, given the vastness of the Dark Star Alliance, there would certainly be plenty of them within his star domain.

If Zhang Xiaoman issued some bounty tasks, it’d likely be soon that interstellar mercenaries would bring good news.

But returning directly to the First Universe wasn’t the result he desired.

Since dimension rifts can’t be lingered in for long, once he returns without having established the World Tree here, returning again would be troublesome.

Given the abundance of resources he needed to acquire in the Second Universe, the safest approach was establishing an accessible channel here first, allowing traversal back through the Original Realm method.

Having made preparations, Zhang Xiaoman arranged the star pattern imprint plans for Ifei and the new group of undead giant dragons, then entered nurturing the second star pattern on Pique Star.

This nurture lasted an entire year.
