Wuwu's aura was terrifying! Everyone felt like mayflies in a vast ocean, able only to gaze up at Wuwu in awe. Beyond shock, there was only more shock!
Lu Xuan paused, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected this cultivation technique to directly shatter Wuwu's shackles, propelling him to the very heavens!
Just then, Boom! The Green-skirted Girl was startled awake. Her form shimmered, and she instantly appeared in Wuwu's room, pouting at Lu Xuan. "Oh dear, look! You almost destroyed this world again!"
Lu Xuan simply gave her a blank look.
Wuwu was still stabilizing his cultivation nearby, but he sensed the Green-skirted Girl's presence and gave a slight nod. His ability to endlessly reincarnate and recultivate was, after all, thanks to the Heavenly Dao's aid!
The Green-skirted Girl immediately pounced into Lu Xuan's arms, clenching her tiny pink fists. She let out a series of dramatic coughs. "Cough, cough... actually, I'm already injured."
Lu Xuan remained impassive. Right now, this little Qing looks just like a little old lady, Lu Xuan thought, amused. "Hahahaha!" Lu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. This rascal clearly wants some 'compensation' again, doesn't she?
Then, the Green-skirted Girl extended her hand, looking at Lu Xuan with an expectant gaze. "You know what I want."
Lu Xuan's face twitched slightly, but he casually placed a Mid-tier Star Core into her outstretched hand. Boom! The Mid-tier Star Core was only fist-sized, yet it was inscribed with endless Dao Patterns, so dense and intricate they made one's scalp tingle.
The Green-skirted Girl was utterly stunned! She sensed that the power contained within this Mid-tier Star Core was hundreds of times greater than her own! The difference between a Low-tier Star Core and a Mid-tier Star Core was simply immense! If the current Tai Chu Realm were to be refined, it would only yield a single Low-tier Star Core! This Mid-tier Star Core must have been refined from a star above the Third Star Ring, a star close to the Second Star Ring!
Chen Changsheng also looked at Lu Xuan in shock. "Master, when did you refine a star near the Second Star Ring?"
Lu Xuan's face twitched again.
Meanwhile, Wuwu also sensed the terrifying power contained within the Mid-tier Star Core, and he too was utterly astonished. As a Four-star Supreme, he was highly sensitive to such power. Compared to this Mid-tier Star Core, he was utterly insignificant! This was the power of the Myriad Phase Realm! In an instant, the joy of his breakthrough to Supreme was completely washed away. Before his Master, he was still so small! If Master could casually produce such a Mid-tier Star Core, then his strength must surely be above the Myriad Phase Realm!
A moment of silence. The Green-skirted Girl swallowed the Mid-tier Star Core whole! Her mouth stretched wide, impossibly wide! Gulp! Gulp! She stood up in Lu Xuan's arms, pressing her belly against his ear. "Listen!"
Lu Xuan heard the sound of a wailing sea. Whoosh! Gurgle! This was the Green-skirted Girl undergoing an upgrade! Simultaneously, this entire world was undergoing a terrifying transformation. All living beings sensed the subtle, yet profound, changes in the ethereal realm.
In the Northern Plains, Ji Fuyao's fiery red gown billowed around her. She gazed into the depths of the void, utterly shocked. Having just broken through to Supreme, she could now sense the Tai Chu Realm's Rule Power! Before, she could clearly perceive the limits of this world, like a towering wall of Rule Power! But now, that wall was crumbling and constantly reforging itself! It was as if the heavens had grown taller, and the seas had deepened! Ji Fuyao murmured, "What did Master do again?" She knew it had to be Lu Xuan! No one else could possibly achieve this!
On the other side, Xuanji Holy Lord also sensed it. She slowly rose, her exquisite figure shimmering with divine radiance as she looked out at the world. "The world is upgrading!"
Elsewhere, on the Supreme Path in the Southern Wilds, Ye Chen's punch exploded the head of a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, sending blood splattering! He looked at the Supreme Path before him! The Supreme Path was also changing! And he sensed that the Southern Wilds beyond the Supreme Path were transforming! Ye Chen murmured, "Master has made his move! I must work hard, work hard, work even harder!"
Just then, back in Wuwu's room, the Green-skirted Girl had become somewhat "tipsy." She looked at Lu Xuan, extending her delicate pink hand again. "Do you have any High-tier Star Cores?"
Chen Changsheng was slightly taken aback. A High-tier Star Core! That would be from a star within the First Star Ring!
Lu Xuan shook his head. "No."
The Green-skirted Girl hugged Lu Xuan, pouting. "Hmph... you're lying, you know." Lu Xuan was speechless. The next instant, the Green-skirted Girl suddenly kissed Lu Xuan, then bit him playfully with her tiny tiger teeth. "I'm going to refine this Mid-tier Star Core now. Once I've refined it, my power will be comparable to a star near the Second Star Ring! Hehe."
The Green-skirted Girl was delighted. Divine radiance flickered in her eyes. She rubbed her head as fragmented images flashed continuously through her mind. She looked at Lu Xuan, utterly astonished. "Lu Xuan, I think I've seen some images from the past."
Lu Xuan was somewhat puzzled. "The past?"
The Green-skirted Girl extended her delicate pink hand, manifesting the images from her mind. In the fragmented images, Star Venerate Realm great demons roamed everywhere! Their bodies were colossal, like mountains, each step shaking the earth! But the next instant, a Myriad Phase Realm expert descended, and with a flick of a finger, the Star Venerate Realm great demon was instantly annihilated, turning to ash! In another image... Myriad Phase Realm experts were everywhere! Star Venerates were as common as dogs!
Seeing this scene, Chen Changsheng and Wuwu were utterly dumbfounded. Was this truly the Tai Chu Realm of the past? How terrifying! Chen Changsheng slowly said, "In the Fallen Star Sea, the Tai Chu Realm was once the most prosperous place. It's just that countless ages have passed, and many have forgotten this. Perhaps only the old geezers of the First Star Ring still remember!"
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "What about your cultivation?" If Chen Changsheng truly revealed his cultivation, perhaps he could become invincible in the Fallen Star Sea. The First Star Ring would face its final chapter! Chen Changsheng cleared his throat, saying, "Oh, Master, don't you already know my cultivation?"
Lu Xuan was speechless.
A moment later, the Green-skirted Girl departed. Her body had grown larger. She had matured! Her chest was subtly fuller, and her hair had lengthened, though not yet to her waist. She looked graceful and elegant, a true beauty in the making. She left. But before she left, the Green-skirted Girl glanced at the Fourth Star Ring, then looked at Lu Xuan. "You killed those fellows from the Ice Soul Realm this time. Now, Situ Qingyun, the Realm Lord of the Ice Soul Realm, has informed Cloudrise Holy Land. Their people are on their way!"
Lu Xuan replied calmly, "No matter."
The Green-skirted Girl giggled, then vanished.
The next instant, the System's voice echoed in Lu Xuan's ear. "Ding! Synchronizing Host's Fifth Disciple's cultivation and insights!" Boom! An incomparably pure surge of spiritual energy flooded Lu Xuan's body, rushing through his limbs and bones like a mighty river. His cultivation began to skyrocket! Five-star Supreme initial stage! Six-star Supreme! Seven-star Supreme! Eight-star Supreme initial stage! He directly stepped into Eight-star Supreme!
Lu Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "Outside the Fourth Star Ring, I am invincible."
