“Summon the Void Kun!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen and Wuwu were both stunned.
“The Void Kun?”
“Master, isn’t that the legendary Great Demon from the Dark Void? The one with terrifying Spatial Divine Abilities, capable of wielding Fallen Power. When did you… acquire it, Master?” Ye Chen asked, a hint of awe in his voice.
A flicker of confusion also crossed Chen Changsheng’s usually placid face.
The next instant, a surge of black divine radiance erupted from the Dark Void. A vibrant, iridescent black! It was as if something defying all natural laws was swimming out from the abyss. It was the Void Kun! Lu Xuan felt the profound connection between them.
The Void Kun, a colossal mass of obsidian, drifted forward like a dead, silent continent. Around its immense form, terrifying Dao and Rhyme flowed. Ye Chen and Wuwu gasped, startled. What a terrifying Great Demon! they thought. Its aura was overwhelmingly powerful.
The Void Kun glided through the starry sky. What appeared to be mere swimming was, in reality, a series of Quantum Leaps. Wherever it passed, mysterious spatial channels formed, allowing it to traverse as if on solid ground, ignoring all obstacles, small worlds, and other spaces!
Soon, the inky black Void Kun arrived before Lu Xuan. Ye Chen and the others gazed at it with wide-eyed curiosity. It was a sight truly unheard of, unseen!
Just then, the void tore, and space twisted! Boom! The Green-skirted Girl was startled by the commotion. Her emerald robes fluttering, she appeared before Lu Xuan, a hint of surprise in her voice. “The Void Kun? Lu Xuan, how did you make it your own?”
In her memories, the Void Kun possessed an exceptionally potent bloodline. It was a product of the Dark Void itself, born from endless darkness, naturally endowed with Spatial Divine Abilities, capable of ignoring all obstacles, and inherently able to manipulate Fallen Power!
Fallen Power! Few cultivators in the entire Fallen Star Sea dared to cultivate such a path. It was a terrifying, mysterious force!
Lu Xuan casually patted the Void Kun’s head. The colossal creature shivered in contentment, its body, like a continent, unfurling in the starry sky, now appearing even larger than the entire Southern Wilds. Its surface was a profound black, not a mere color, but a manifestation of Rule Power itself, an evolving hue born from cosmic law.
Lu Xuan noticed a tuft of hair on the Void Kun’s forehead. With a thoughtful gesture, he carefully parted it down the middle, giving it a neat center part. “Ah, much better now,” he declared.
The Green-skirted Girl exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder. “A Myriad Phase Realm Void Kun! Lu Xuan, what else are you hiding from us?”
Chen Changsheng added, “More than that! This Void Kun appears to have been released from a seal. Now, within the Dark Void, it’s like a fish in water; its cultivation will skyrocket!”
Ye Chen looked at Chen Changsheng with a hint of surprise. “Third Senior Brother, how do you know everything? What else are you keeping from us?”
Wuwu chimed in, “Exactly! Exactly!”
Chen Changsheng simply offered a noncommittal shrug.
A moment of silence passed. The Void Kun’s massive body shivered, extending an invitation to Lu Xuan. Come to the Dark Void! Lu Xuan shook his head. “No, not yet.” He was only at Five-rotation Star Venerate Mid-stage! Even Ancient Ancestors feared the Dark Void; naturally, he wouldn't rush into it.
Lu Xuan patted the Void Kun again. “Go on back for now. Remember to cultivate diligently in the Dark Void.”
The Void Kun rumbled in response.
Then, its colossal black form seemed to melt into the night sky, vanishing without a trace before their very eyes.
The Green-skirted Girl looked at Lu Xuan. “Lu Xuan, are you an Ancient Ancestor?”
Lu Xuan simply shook his head.
The Green-skirted Girl scoffed playfully. “Hmph.” She then departed, resuming her refinement of the Mid-tier Star Core.
A moment later, Lu Xuan turned to Ye Chen and Wuwu. “Alright, next, I’ll boost your cultivation. Your current levels are still far too weak!”
Chen Changsheng piped up, “Master, what about me?”
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow. “Do you need it?”
Chen Changsheng remained silent, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Lu Xuan then looked at Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, you first!”
“Yes, Master!” Ye Chen exclaimed, his face alight with excitement. He immediately sat cross-legged in the void, his white robes billowing around him.
Lu Xuan casually crushed a Cultivation Infusion Jade Slip. Instantly, an overwhelmingly terrifying surge of spiritual energy, like a cosmic river, poured into Ye Chen’s body. Boom! His cultivation began to skyrocket! One-star Supreme! Two-star Supreme! Three-star Supreme!… It finally stabilized at Nine-star Supreme initial stage!
Ye Chen’s white robes continued to flutter, his face etched with profound shock. Terrifying! This secret art of Master’s was simply too terrifying! To reach Nine-star Supreme so swiftly!
Wuwu watched, utterly dumbfounded. Becoming Lu Xuan’s disciple was, without a doubt, the most correct decision he had ever made!
Ye Chen, brimming with excitement, began to test his newfound power, throwing punches into the starry void. Boom! A single punch shattered a distant dead star into countless fragments! “Is this… the power of a Nine-star Supreme?” he murmured, awestruck.
Moments later, Lu Xuan crushed another Cultivation Infusion Jade Slip, channeling its power into Wuwu. Before long, Wuwu, too, ascended to Nine-star Supreme! He felt an incredibly profound and mystical transformation within him.
Just then, the System’s voice echoed in Lu Xuan’s mind. 'Ding! Host’s second disciple, Ye Chen, has reached Nine-star Supreme! Initiating cultivation synchronization!'
'Ding! Host’s fifth disciple, Wuwu, has reached Nine-star Supreme! Initiating cultivation synchronization!'
As the notifications faded, a torrent of pure spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan’s body. His cultivation began to soar! Three-rotation Star Venerate! Four-rotation Star Venerate! Five-rotation Star Venerate! It finally settled at Five-rotation Star Venerate Mid-stage!
A moment later, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ye Chen and the others. “You three head back to Azure Mystery Peak. I’m going to find Fuyao and Baili.”
Boom! Lu Xuan activated his Heaven-Reaching Spatial Array Patterns, vanishing instantly before the three disciples.
In a flash, Lu Xuan appeared within the Yanwu Sect branch. The Yanwu Sect Branch Master hurried to greet him. “Peak Master Lu, Ji Fuyao is currently cultivating in our sect’s secret realm. She has already passed the branch sect’s assessment and is eligible to proceed to the main sect for the trial.”
The main sect trial! If successful, she could obtain an Ancient Ancestor’s inheritance! One must remember, the Yanwu Sect was once an Ancient Ancestor-level force itself, only declining after the struggle for the Bronze Ancient Palace!
Soon, Lu Xuan arrived at Ji Fuyao’s cultivation secret realm. Ji Fuyao, her fiery red robes billowing, rose with a smile upon seeing Lu Xuan. “Master,” she greeted.
Lu Xuan chuckled. “Fuyao, I’ve brought you a gift.”
Ji Fuyao tilted her elegant neck, divine radiance shimmering in her eyes. “Master, what is it?”
Lu Xuan announced, “To help you reach Nine-star Supreme!”
Ji Fuyao’s eyes widened with delighted surprise. She had been fretting these past days about her cultivation being too weak to assist Master.
Lu Xuan chuckled, then replicated his previous action. Crack! The Cultivation Infusion Jade Slip shattered. Lu Xuan flicked his finger, and a stream of cultivation divine radiance surged into Ji Fuyao’s body!
Before long, her cultivation directly ascended to Nine-star Supreme initial stage!
Ji Fuyao slowly opened her eyes. “Thank you, Master. When you confront Cloudrise Holy Land, I will be there to fight!” she declared with fierce resolve.
Lu Xuan nodded. “Alright, I’m off to find your Fourth Junior Sister now.”
Ji Fuyao blinked, then quickly added, “Master, I’ll come too.”
Lu Xuan simply replied, “Very well.”
Ji Fuyao then said, “Master, now that I’m a Nine-star Supreme, I can enter the main sect for the final assessment.”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Once the matter with Cloudrise Holy Land is settled, you may go.”
The two walked out of the secret realm. The Yanwu Sect Branch Master stared at Ji Fuyao, his face a mask of utter shock. “Ji Fuyao, your cultivation…?”
Ji Fuyao simply smiled. “Master did it.”
The Yanwu Sect Branch Master then turned to Lu Xuan, his voice trembling. “You… just who are you?”
Lu Xuan merely chuckled, then effortlessly departed with Ji Fuyao.
Boom! In another instant, Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao arrived at the Eerie Sect branch’s star. Ji Fuyao’s delicate lips parted. “Fourth Junior Sister, Master and I have come to see you!”
