Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: Starting to Understand_1

"Is ’star level’ the difference in Star Absorption?" asked Peter Brown. At this moment, he was confused and did not understand his own level.

"When you reach the Star Absorption Layer," Ian Pemberton explained, "a special space is created within you. Within this space, various barriers will appear. These barriers manifest in different forms; many are simply a layer of light shield. If you manage to break through with your own power, you’ll enter a new level. For some, it’s a portal that needs to be breached to advance."

Peter’s heart jolted. He finally understood his current situation. It seemed he had unknowingly reached the star energy absorption level. But where was his star energy?

For the first time, Peter had something to compare his cultivation to.

Another woman from the Heavenly Emperor Level named Eleanor Jackson said, "After Star Absorption, one undergoes great changes, truly entering the cultivation level. Every breakthrough requires shattering the portal within oneself to enter a vaster Heaven and Earth. As the portal breaks, one can venture into the broader interstellar space to absorb Star Energy."

"But when does one truly reach the level of achieving immortality?" Now, Peter was completely confused.

Eleanor Jackson gave a wry smile and said, "Actually, we have only heard about it; we’ve never seen a person who has truly achieved immortality."

"What?" Peter was shocked. Even the people from the Immortal Realm had not seen anyone achieve immortality. What then was the point of cultivating?

Seeing Peter’s expression, several strong persons let out a sympathetic murmur. Ian Pemberton said, "The path of cultivation is long, and no one has seen someone achieve immortality. However, everyone is following this path, believing that one day they will reach the end."

What kind of game is this?

Realizing that no one had ever seen a person who had achieved immortality, Peter felt somewhat bamboozled.

"Anyway, as long as you cultivate, the lifespan greatly increases. That’s enough reason for most people," Eleanor Jackson added.

Peter thought about it and realized that was indeed true, nodding slightly.

After taking a sip of tea, Peter asked, "You were mentioning star levels earlier. What exactly is that about?"

"Firstly, it starts with the One-Star Layer," Ian Pemberton explained. "Then for every ten star planets added in the Elixir Sea World, one ascends a level. That’s known as the Star Refining Layer, akin to the Qi Refining Stage in the cultivation realm, which also has twelve sub-levels. Following that is the Star Foundation Layer, which is similar to the Foundation Establishment Level."

Mateo Collins laughed, "They created a Phantom Realm in the Immortal Realm. The cultivation levels inside the Phantom Realm are actually designed after the cultivation levels of the Heavenly Level. If you understand the cultivation levels of the Phantom Realm, you’ll basically understand."

So that’s how it is

Now Peter truly understood. The design of the Phantom Realm’s many aspects was set up like the Heavenly Level cultivation. He wondered which strong person had come up with that system.

"After Star Absorption, breaking through a portal is what signifies entering the One-Star Layer. That portal can’t be easy to break through, right?" Peter asked another question.

Then, Eleanor Jackson couldn’t help but ask, "Peter, may I know your level of cultivation? Judging by your combat power, you should have already entered the star level, haven’t you?"

Peter scratched his head and said, "I seem to be at the Heavenly Level, but it doesn’t quite feel like it. I need to study more to understand."

Everyone was speechless again.

However, remembering that all cultivators have their secrets and it’s generally inappropriate to pry, no one pressed further.

After witnessing Peter’s battle with the Demon Clan, everyone had already regarded him as a top-tier strong person, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"We haven’t had any star-level masters arrive here yet. We’re all researching how to leave. Originally we had little confidence in leaving, but with your arrival, Peter, we are hoping you can help us out. We’ve been here too long, and everyone wishes to return to the Human Clan’s land," said one of them.

The group turned their gaze toward Peter.

Seeing everyone’s hopeful expression, Peter thought for a moment and said, "If a cultivator of Heavenly Level arrives, I’m not sure I can withstand them."

"It’s okay. If a strong person does come, you can simply leave. We would only blame our bad luck!"

"Right, we’re all aware we can’t stay here any longer. Peter, you’ve seen our defensive formation; our energy has been depleted. If we remain, we can’t withstand another attack from the Demon Clan. You helped us this time, but what about next? If the Demon Clan breaks our defenses, there’s only one outcome—either death or a fate worse than death."

"Peter, we’re basically taking a chance here. If we’re lucky, we might return home. We hope you can help us. Whatever we have, feel free to lay claim to it. Anything you want."

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor Level people pleading with him, Peter sighed and said, "I don’t know if I can help you, as I’m not sure whether the Demon Clan will send a powerful strong person here. I’ll do my best, but don’t get your hopes up. If I’m overpowered, I might indeed leave."

"That’s great, just your willingness to help is enough. If a situation arises where you can’t handle it, naturally, you are free to leave," they responded with relief.

Ian Pemberton was also excited. Having someone with Peter’s immense combat power gave them newfound hope for survival.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Peter said, "Originally, I thought I was a strong person. Coming here made me realize I was just a frog in a well. If a star-level warrior from the Demon Clan really does arrive, I doubt I will have any chance of fighting."

"If such a strong person really comes," Ian Pemberton said, "we’d have no escape, even using everything at our disposal. We couldn’t even hide in this formation. Having been in this area for so many years, we haven’t seen star-level Demon Clan members arrive. We shouldn’t be that unlucky."

Everyone laughed, feeling hopeful for the first time about their chance to return to the Human Clan’s land with Peter’s assistance.

Seeing everyone’s happiness, Peter could only smile. He really wanted to find a place to sit down and carefully analyze his cultivation level.

Peter even felt that he wasn’t truly at the Star Absorption level in the true sense, having not seen a single star energy body in the center of the Elixir Sea.

What exactly have I cultivated myself into?
