Cosmic Art

## Introduction

The Cosmic Art is a cultivation technique created by Progenitor Chen, and is the unique cultivation technique of the Cosmic Sect. Where as the Rune Progenitor created Runes, or Progenitor Ku created Extremes Must be Reversed, the Cosmic Art was Progenitor Chen's creation and inheritance left in the Fifth Mainland.

Lu Yin got the introduction to this cultivation technique when he used his innate gift ability Pilfer but only possessed the first eight stages of the technique.

## Information

The Cosmic Art was created by Progenitor Chen, was a technique that could allow one to absorb energy from the stars and create them. It imitated the movements of the celestial bodies, and theoretically, each addition to the imitation would increase the speed of energy absorption. The Cosmic Art is the nemesis of any speed based attacks as it allows the user to observe and accurately track the opponent's attacks and movement. The Cosmic Art battle techniques consists of the simulating the stars around the user and exploding them, the Cosmic Palm technique, and the Celestial Sword technique. The more stars which one cultivates Cosmic Art, the more one can absorb ambient star energy around.

The Cosmic Art allows it's user to analyze techniques that uses star energy allowing them to quickly learn the intricacies of them. Cosmic Art was very flexible and with the ability to analyze star energy to the minute detail, the Cosmic Art is the nemesis of those that use star energy for speed based-attack and techniques. The Cosmic Art also allows the user a greater grasp at viewing star energy, and a perfect tool for lockbreaking.

The Skystar Jade Wall has a record of the full Cosmic Art, and even the first and second levels can be learned from the Jade Wall, but the third level can only be learned from the Skystar Jade Wall. The first three levels of Cosmic Art are all fine, but once one breaks through the third level of Cosmic Art, one needs to gain access to the thirty six fatal meridian points of the human body and remove any weak points before they can cultivate the fourth level of Cosmic Art. The Skystar Jade Wall was one of the Cosmic Sect’s treasures, and it was also the origin of Cosmic Art. Without the Cosmic Art from the Skystar Jade Wall, there would never have been a Cosmic Sect.

The Cosmic Art was created to simulate the stars but the true inheritance left by Progenitor Chen was that there are stars that existed in the Fifth Mainland which were created by the Cosmic Art. The inheritance left allowed the inheritor to control the stars in the Human Domain of the Fifth Mainland and allowed the power of a Progenitor left by Progenitor Chen.

## Cosmic Art Levels

* First Level - 1st to 9th stars
	+ Eight Stars: "A technique that could allow one to absorb energy from the stars. It imitated the movements of the celestial bodies, and theoretically, each addition to the imitation would increase the speed of energy absorption. Even though the Cosmic Art technique that he had received was incomplete, it could still allow him to imitate up to eight orbiting celestial bodies. In other words, if he succeeded in learning this technique, his energy absorption would increase eightfold. Furthermore, the technique also included a battle skill called the Cosmic Palm that could allow the user to release star energy from their palm, which was a very powerful ability."
	+ Ninth Star: "The ninth star was forming was completely different from the previous stars. If the stars had previously been forcibly coalesced, then the ninth star was like the final piece of a puzzle falling neatly into place. Lu Yin’s mind slowed down as he stared at the stars surrounding him. They weren’t real, but their appearance was impossibly authentic, making him feel as if he had been thrust into an unimaginably terrifying realm consisting of nine stars. This ninth star had changed the intrinsic nature of the technique, whereas before this point, each additional star had slightly increased the power of the technique. Now, not even Lu Yin had any idea of how powerful it was. The explosion of a single star could distort the void, so what would happen if an entire star field exploded?"

* Second Level - 10th to 99th stars
* Third Level - 100th to 726 stars
	+ The third level of Cosmic Art was a dividing line, and it’s something that differentiates the disciples from the elders. Since ancient times, very few disciples of the Cosmic Sect have been able to cultivate the Cosmic Art to the third level. Once one breaks through the third level of Cosmic Art, one needs to gain access to the thirty-six fatal energy centers of the human body and remove any weak points before they can cultivate the fourth level of Cosmic Art. This is impossible to do alone, and it requires help from the sect’s seniors.
* Fourth Level - 727 to 3,600 stars
	+ The fourth level of the Cosmic Art allows one to simulate 3,600 stars and requires one to open thirty six fatal energy centers.
	+ The Cosmic Nature Realm allows the user to move and control stars and ignite them as a form of attack to the opponent.
* Fifth Level - 3,601 stars to 99,000 Stars
	+ The Fifth level of Cosmic Art combined with the cosmic pattern left by Progenitor Chen allowed the inheritor to control the stars left created by Progenitor Chen in the Fifth Mainland. The user is able to view the Fifth Mainland as if it were their consciousness able to view the whole astral body of the Fifth Mainland. The power left had the strength of a Progenitor realm.
* Sixth Level - 99,001 stars to 380,000 stars
* Highest Level - The realm which Progenitor Chen has reached when it came to the Cosmic Art. It required the pattern which was the true inheritance of the Cosmic Art.

## Techniques

* **Cosmic Palm -** The palm technique of the Cosmic Art which coalesces the simulated stars into the palm to strike.
* **Celestial Sword Technique -** a sword technique of the Cosmic Art which coalesces the simulated stars into a sword to strike.
* **Cosmic Stomp** - The technique that utilizes the power of the stars left behind by Progenitor Chen but one must possess the Cosmic Pattern from the Skystar Jade Wall and have reached the Sixth Stage of the Cosmic Art at least to use it.

## Trivia

* Lu Yin Pilfered Cosmic Art was from Gu Xiao'er's cosmic ring on Chapter 6.
