Kihin didn’t know that Roan was talking to Sister Orb, so he simply began to explain.
“It’s not that there aren’t stars.
It’s just that they’re too far away for us to see.”

That was even more ridiculous in Roan’s opinion.
The light of a star could travel, but it was just too, too far away.
How come they couldn’t see it? Unless something was preventing it from arriving in the area where he was now.

Sure enough, Kihin explained exactly that.
“Then again, the main reason for that is the atmosphere.
Do you know what an atmosphere is?”

Roan nodded in response.
“Don’t worry, go ahead.” Using the word ‘atmosphere’ was quite strange as the Realm of Gods wasn’t a planet.
It wasn’t a round sphere.
However, Roan didn’t mention that.

Kihin was surprised that Roan knew it, but he also didn’t ask how.
It didn’t matter for his plans anyway.
If anything, that made things easier.
“Alright.
The atmosphere is basically stopping the light from those stars from reaching the ground.
Perhaps, if your continent is in the right place and the conditions are just perfect, you might be able to barely see something.”

That pretty much confirmed Sister Orb’s words.
The Soul Gem System had been out of the Realm of Gods for way too long.
Somehow, the space above it now had stars as well.
Well, at least that’s what it looked like.
There was also a chance that the stars Kihin was talking about weren’t the same stars Roan knew from the Mortal Realm.

Kihin continued, “However, the stars are definitely out there, and there are countless numbers of them.” He then pointed at the jade slip, explaining, “This Starlight Technique uses exactly that to strengthen your body.
Of course, it also needs materials to be fused into your body.
However, the results are much better when starlight is added to the mix.
Believe it or not, but your gain in strength is increased by 7 to 8 percent on average compared to other top body cultivation techniques, including my family’s techniques.”

That was a huge increase in Roan’s eyes.
Once something was refined too many times, it became hard for one to increase its efficiency even a single percent.
That’s the case for top body cultivation techniques like the ones used by Kihin and the top brass of the Sacred Land.
“That’s truly impressive.
So, what’s the downside? I’m sure there must be one, or everyone would be using it.
Could it be that because we can’t see the stars, no one can cultivate it?”

Kihin shook his head in response.
“If that was the case, I would simply ask any subordinate of my clan at the Transition Realm or above to bring me up to the skies.
At some point, you will start to exit the atmosphere and will be able to see the stars.”

Roan had to admit Kihin was right.

Kihin continued, “The problem…is the Starlight Energy itself.”
