Chapter 671: Sun Moon Stars Trifection Tantra
Aksai stepped out of the third floor’s hall just as the hour ended.
The doors behind him closed softly, and he let out a slow breath. A small smile tugged at his lips. The long, silent hour inside had been worth it.
A clear chime rang in his ears.
A spectral screen appeared in front of him, lines of glowing text unfolding one after another. All the notifications were about the 3rd Order Spirit Cultivation Techniques he had just gone through.
He had completely recorded around ninety techniques on his Neural Link Fabric’s database, storing them forever.
Ninety!
No one in the Dadangar Subcontinent would believe that a single cultivator was able to memorize so many complicated 3rd Order techniques within an hour. Even Aksai himself felt a small sense of satisfaction as he watched the notifications scroll.
Even though none of the techniques were completely compatible with him, he knew they would help him in other ways.
For example, the Neural Link Fabric’s sandboxing capabilities had been upgraded to the 3rd Order as well. With this capability alone, Aksai could optimize the 3rd Order Spirit cultivation technique that he would eventually choose and make it run continuously in the background with the help of the Neural Link Fabric’s assistance.
On the screen, the last six techniques he had stored were displayed:
[Glinting Water Soul Weave – Water Element.

[Steel-bone Earth Mantra Cycle – Earth Element.

[Rising Jade Flame Spirit Formula – Fire Element.]

[………]

[…]
Aksai stared at the neat list, the corner of his mouth lifting again. If the Haan Di Lord even guessed he had stored everything, he would certainly feel cheated.
He shook his head.
If that old man knew, he would have demanded not one artifact—but two, three, maybe all of Aksai’s precious treasures. He would have never let Aksai walk out after paying only with that Red Lightning Orb.
The Spirit farmer had greatly enriched his database by giving up an artifact that wasn’t suitable for him at all. This was a great deal for him no matter what.
***
Three months later.
Aksai sat cross-legged in the center of his quiet chamber inside the Shamrock Sanctuary Palace.
The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of three floating orbs above his head—one gold, one silver, and one faint, star-like blue. They spun slowly in a circle, releasing gentle ripples of Spirit essence. Each breath Aksai took pulled those ripples into his body.
This was the Sun Moon Stars Trifection Tantra.
He drew in a long breath, guiding the sun force down his right meridian, the moon force through his left, and the star force straight through the center of his spine.
The three streams met in his Dantian. His whole body felt warm, cool, and weightless at the same time.
Three months had passed since his short visit to the Haan Di territory.
Aksai slowly exhaled, his expression calm as he let the three orbs fade into tiny sparks. Only when the last spark winked out did he open his eyes.
The room returned to normal. No lights. No special aura. Only Aksai and the quiet pulse of his stabilized cultivation.
He leaned back slightly and thought about the months that had gone by.
After leaving the Haan Di Lord, he had followed Ren Greenleaf all the way to the Ouz Kingdom. Ren walked ahead with a stiff back most of the time.
Even though he hid it well, Aksai could sense the boy’s bitterness. Ren’s missing arm made it obvious why. Aksai had severed it back then, and even though Ren was polite and humble now, the old grudge still lingered.
’A man is allowed to harbour grudges as long as he doesn’t do anything foolish,’ Aksai had thought to himself as he watched Ren with a bit of amusement.
But Ren never caused trouble. He guided Aksai through the neutral lands, explained the borders, introduced places, and helped him understand the rules of the Green Glory Palace. Because of him, Aksai reached the palace gates without a single problem.
Aksai remembered thanking the Haan Di Lord in his heart when he saw how fast things moved afterward. The recommendation letter worked better than he expected. Only an hour after arriving, he was invited to meet the Green Glory Lord himself.
That meeting had been… long.
The Green Glory Lord was a sharp-eyed man with a calm smile that did not reach his eyes. He asked many questions and listened closely to Aksai’s answers. Only after a long talk did he bring out the Sun Moon Stars Trifection Tantra, the Third Order extension of the Sun Moon Duality.
Aksai sighed softly at the memory.
The Tantra wasn’t free. The Green Glory Lord made him sign a 3rd Order blood contract. The terms were strict, and even now Aksai felt a headache thinking about them. He didn’t know how the Green Glory Lord would make use of the blood contract in the future.
But there was no choice. Time was short, and this technique was necessary for his path.
So he signed, got the Tantra and left.
Almost three months had passed since then. He had returned to Emerald Cove, closed his doors, and spent every day practising.
Now, he could feel the results. The star force from the new Tantra filled the gaps perfectly. The three parts of the technique were settling into balance.
Aksai stood up slowly, rolled his shoulders, and stretched.
“The base is stable,” he murmured. “Good. I can move to the next cycle soon.”
Outside the chamber, the wind of Shamrock Peak blew softly, carrying the scent of sea mist from Emerald Cove.
There was a brief pause between the two warring sides. The palace was quiet. The island was peaceful after many conflicts with the Kalingoot. At least for now.
Inside, Aksai closed his eyes once more and let the three orbs form above his head again—gold, silver, and star-blue.
It was time to begin the main cycle of the Sun Moon Stars Trifection Tantra.
With a calm motion, he pressed his palm onto the floor.
The array lines carved beneath the tiles lit up at once. Thin streaks of blue, green, and brown light ran across the room like small rivers, forming circles and symbols around him.
A low hum filled the chamber.
A moment later, the ceiling above him shifted with a soft grinding sound. Panels slid apart one by one until the entire roof overhead opened. The formation beneath Aksai rose slowly, lifting him upward through the open space.
A soft breeze brushed against his hair.
In the next breath, Aksai stood on the wide, flat roof of the Shamrock Sanctuary Palace. His entire palace was covered by a second, larger array formation that flickered like a faint dome of light. Its lines pulsed quietly, ready to guard him from unforeseen dangers.
The Yantra inside the central array began to glow. Three runes lit up around him—one golden, one silver, and one deep brown. They rose into the air and spun around Aksai.
Then the sky responded.
The golden rune pulled down a strand of bright sun essence, even though the sun itself was already low on the horizon.
The silver rune drew soft moon essence from the pale crescent rising in the distance.
The brown rune reached higher, far beyond the eyes could see, and pulled a thin line of star essence down from the night sky.
Aksai closed his eyes and began to chant the Mantra under his breath. The words were simple but steady, like waves hitting the shore.
His hands moved in smooth patterns. Each Mudra he formed guided the three essences into the correct paths in his body. The sun essence followed his wood element. The moon essence merged with his water element. And the star essence sank into the deep foundation of his earth element.
The three lights touched him.
Gold sank into his right meridians.
Silver washed into his left.
Brown flowed into the center of his spirit sea, firm and heavy like settled soil.
The energy entered him in a steady rhythm, not too fast, not too slow. The Yantra handled the draw, and Aksai only needed to guide it inside.
His body warmed, cooled, and steadied at the same time. Sun, moon, and stars—three different natures, three different laws—met inside him without clashing.
Aksai continued the Mudras, focused and calm. The sky above him darkened as evening deepened, but the three streams of essence only grew clearer.
Anyone watching from afar would see a young man seated on a glowing roof, wrapped in golden, silver, and brown light, like a silent beacon on top of the Shamrock Peak.
Aksai’s breath slowed. His heartbeat steadied. He sank deeper into the Tantra’s main cycle, using all three of his elemental affinities with perfect harmony.
