Heaven, Earth, Me 5 (GL)

Chapter 857. Controlling the Celestial Energy Star.

Yasenia's senses spread all around the room, saturating the space with her formidable presence and aura. The potent aura she exuded was so overwhelming, it seemed to thicken the atmosphere, making it almost suffocating.

With her gaze focused on her Dantian, Yasenia began the intricate process of manipulating the Celestial Energy star. The star, a mesmerizing galaxy-blue, spun, its black ring accelerating as starlight swirled around it. Yasenia then allowed the Celestial Energy Star to send Celestial Energy through her meridians, its path seemingly random yet purposeful.

The dragoness's aim was to fill her senses with celestial energy and look deeply into its composition and meaning. An intent was based on a creature's understanding of a concept—how they visualized it, thought about it, and interacted with it. There wasn't just one path to the Intent, as each person's concept was mostly unique.

Even if two people practiced the same Fire Intent, that didn't mean that the insights of one of them would serve the other without fault. A concept had a general truth, but because of how energy and the Heavens affected the world, cold fire could exist, a hot sea could exist, a star made of ice, or any other seemingly illogical event.

Allowing her mind to wander, the sensations on her became faint but profound. She could see beyond what she usually saw, allowing her to approach the concepts much more clearly.

Achieving the previous levels of Celestial Intent had always been about gaining control of the Celestial Energy; Yasenia didn't need to explore concepts as much as she needed to move and control them better.

Unlike other elements or concepts, "Celestial" was special in a way that it encompassed too many things.

What was "Celestial"? Something heavenly? Something sacred?

Yasenia didn't think so. A celestial item was an item from the Universe. Something that purely came from the cosmos. Yet, that was a problem because, in Yasenia's opinion, everything seemed to come from the "universe."

'What is the Universe?'

The dragoness pondered. 'Is it a world that has many worlds inside? Are there other Universes out there? Is our Main Heavens just another Heavens? Is it the limits of existence and reality?'

Yasenia was confused. 'Let's not think about that. I'm still too weak and ignorant to tap into those grand mysteries.'

Refocusing on the problem at hand, Yasenia thought. 'What's important now is to increase my control over Celestial Energy. I've managed to gain enough control that using my Celestial skills comes as something natural. However, they are still very strenuous for my body. I guess this will continue until I enter the transcendent realm. Perhaps even after that...'

Yasenia shook her head. 'Celestial Energy is a mix of the Sun, Star, and Moon energies. However, there is more to it. My Celestial Energy is... no. It has something else. I can sense that there are many dormant powers in it that I'm unable to tap into. Controlling it to my current level is also thanks to my Celestial Intent... Hm?'

Yasenia paused as she thought that. 'Then... Why don't I try ruling over the Celestial Energy without my Celestial Intent?'

Yasenia absorbed back all the Celestial Energy moving around her meridians and waited until her inner world calmed down. Then, when everything calmed down, Yasenia stopped using the Celestial Intent, and the Energy Star in her dantian calmed down.

Then, using her own will and energy, she tried stirring the Celestial Energy Star awake. The powerful star didn't budge at first, surprising Yasenia. 'Huh? I can't move it on my own?'

The dragoness frowned, finding this a surprising finding. 'Why? Is Celestial Energy just too powerful? But...' The dragoness's energy moved toward the center of her dantian and tried stirring the Celestial Energy Star awake. Still, her efforts were in vain, and the Star continued spinning at the same speed as before.
