**Chapter 1124: Nine-Star Spell? Impossible!**
Lin Moyu asked repeatedly, and the Green Sword Daoist was very patient, telling Lin Moyu everything he knew without hiding anything.
"Our human race indeed doesn't have many spells, unlike some races that possess dozens of spells. But we strive for excellence, seeking strength rather than quantity."
"I once read some ancient records. It is said that a long time ago, our human race also pursued the quantity of spells, with each person mastering at least twenty or thirty spells."
"But times have changed, and that approach of seeking quantity over quality is not suitable for our human race."
"Since Xiao Zhantian single-handedly turned the tide, our human race has learned a painful lesson and no longer pursues quantity, but quality."
"Looking at it now, this path is correct. Although the number of spells is not many, the combat power of the human race has increased."
The Green Sword Daoist sighed deeply. From his words, it was clear that he greatly admired Xiao Zhantian, almost like a die-hard fan.
Lin Moyu even thought, why didn't the Green Sword Daoist join the War God Hall?
After all, with the talent and combat power displayed by the Green Sword Daoist, joining the War God Hall should not be difficult.
However, Lin Moyu finally understood why Antares was not surprised when he saw that he possessed so many skills and spells.
It turned out that human cultivators in the past indeed had a large number of spells.
The Dragon Clan was the same, with possibly even more spells.
The two continued to move towards the center of the source of the Sacred Fire. The Green Sword Daoist smiled and said, "Now you understand, spells are valuable for their quality, not quantity. One excellent spell can dominate the world, that's the principle."
"Like me, I only have one spell, but who in the same realm can block it?"
As he said this, he glanced at Lin Moyu and added, "Of course, you, little monster, are an exception."
Lin Moyu agreed with the Green Sword Daoist, but he also had his own thoughts, "But if you have many spells, can't you form multi-star spells?"
The Green Sword Daoist laughed, "Haha, it's good that you can think of this."
"Precisely because of this, there was a time when the human race was divided into two factions. Some believed that multi-star spells were the strongest."
"Multi-star spells are indeed powerful and can greatly enhance combat power. But similarly, forming multi-star spells is extremely difficult."
"Those who insisted on forming multi-star spells gradually dwindled over time, and eventually, the human race chose a compromise."
At this point, the Green Sword Daoist smiled mysteriously, "Do you want to know?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Please enlighten me, Senior."
The Green Sword Daoist took out a wine gourd and took a big gulp, "It's not really a secret. If you had a master, he would have told you long ago."
After drinking a few sips of strong wine, the Green Sword Daoist began to speak at length.
Lin Moyu learned about the human race's approach.
Led by Xiao Zhantian, the human race spent thousands of years exploring and researching, and finally, the high-level officials decided to change the way the human race cultivated spells.
The first step was to shift from pursuing quantity to pursuing quality, but not blindly.
This led to the second step, which was to selectively choose spells.
To this end, the human race spent another thousand years categorizing spells, forming a comprehensive and complete system.
Many spells were classified into different systems. As long as one chose spells within the same system, there was a high possibility of forming multi-star spells.
For example, a set of spells belonging to the fire law. A cultivator could choose one or two powerful but relatively difficult spells as their main spells.
Then, they could choose a few simple but not very powerful spells of the same type.
After elevating all of them to star-level spells, there was a high chance of forming multi-star spells.
In this way, the difficulty of cultivation was greatly reduced, but the enhancement of multi-star spells to the main spells was substantial.
This cultivation method became more mature after thousands of years of evolution.
It proved to be very practical and powerful.
Simple as it was, multi-star spells were still the domain of geniuses.
Ordinary cultivators could at most convert one star-level spell, and if lucky, two.
How could they form any multi-star spells?
Multi-star spells only significantly enhanced power after reaching three stars. Ordinary people could only look at them in awe. The Green Sword Daoist laughed and said, "Now you understand."
Lin Moyu was not foolish. He understood and also realized the pros and cons of this cultivation method.
The Green Sword Daoist saw Lin Moyu's expression and smiled, "If you have any thoughts, just say them."
Through his interaction with Lin Moyu, the Green Sword Daoist knew that Lin Moyu had his own ideas.
Talking to Lin Moyu was interesting. It was not like teaching other juniors, where what he said was taken as gospel.
Lin Moyu was good at drawing inferences. As long as he said one thing, Lin Moyu could think of two or three more.
Lin Moyu expressed his thoughts, "This cultivation method is good, but it can't produce top-tier powerhouses, right?"
The Green Sword Daoist asked, "What do you think makes a top-tier powerhouse?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Exceptional cultivation, multi-star spells above seven stars, that should be about right."
The Green Sword Daoist suddenly laughed, making Lin Moyu a bit confused.
After laughing for a long time, the Green Sword Daoist spoke again, but the laughter in his eyes was unmistakable, "You really dare to think, seven-star spells... Do you know how difficult it is to achieve seven-star spells?"
"Even top-tier geniuses don't dare to think about seven-star spells."
"Throughout our human history, those who have achieved seven-star spells are fewer than ten."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "So few?"
The Green Sword Daoist immediately said, "That's not few, it's actually a lot. Look at other races. They may have dozens of spells, but most of them are useless."
"Just elevating them to star-level is already difficult for most people."
"The more spells, the harder the elevation."
Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Has there ever been a nine-star spell in the human race?"
Originally, Lin Moyu wanted to ask who had the highest multi-star spell in the human race, but he thought that might not be appropriate, so he changed his question.
The Green Sword Daoist said, "Xiao Zhantian has an eight-star spell. This is not a secret. You can find out by checking the records."
"An eight-star spell is truly top-tier in the Great World. As for a nine-star spell, I've never heard of it." His tone carried a sense of admiration.
It was imaginable that Xiao Zhantian, with his absolute strength, saved the human race from disaster.
With his own power, he swept through various races.
One of his key strengths was his eight-star spell.
Lin Moyu murmured, "Is there really no nine-star spell in the Great World?"
The Green Sword Daoist shook his head, "That's something of legend. Don't aim too high. Forget about nine-star spells. Reaching six-star spells already puts you at the pinnacle of the Great World."
During their conversation, the two unknowingly arrived at the central area.
This area was filled with star-level Sacred Fire.
A massive blue star burned fiercely, emitting scorching light.
It was the source of all star-level Sacred Fire, the core of area 5-38.
Lin Moyu was now only ten million kilometers away from the blue star, very close.
He vaguely saw something at the center of the blue star and couldn't help but exclaim, "What is that?"
