Within the hidden chamber.
Colorful balls of light kept floating out of Lu Sheng’s body.
These balls of light were like soap bubbles. Their surface shone with different scenes which showed Lu Sheng’s experiences across the different worlds. The essence of the worlds which Lu Sheng obtained were these balls of light of different sizes.
‘My radiant disc’s foundation is power. So, so of the cores should be built around power. I’ll use the other essences as fuel and leave only the parts of pure power.’
With Lu Sheng’s thought, the balls of light before him imdiately shrunk and changed colors. The colorful lights dimd, and eventually shone with a monotonous gray.
Lu Sheng opened his mouth and sucked the gray balls of light. The flew into Lu Sheng’s mouth without making a sound.
He could clearly feel his physical and main body’s strength increase rapidly. In no ti, the final ball of light vanished within his mouth.
Lu Sheng flexed his limbs again. He felt as if his body’s surface had expanded and enlarged. His skin glinted with blurry, colorful radiance.
‘My pure strength has increased about threefold. My resistance to cold and poison has also been increased. My agility has been raised by slightly more than half... Are these all that I’ve gained throughout my Arrivals?’
He sighed. Although he felt that several of the essences were wasted, at this stage, separating the chaff from the wheat was a choice that he had to make.
At this mont, he glanced at the modifier’s interface again. The scattered fras of the different cultivation thods had vanished. This ant that the plethora of powers within his body had mostly been digested.
Only a simple fra was left: the East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod.
Soil Qi was the only thing circulating slowly within his body. Even his Devil Qi was completely removed.
The Eight-Headed Devil Art was the core art which he had always relied upon.
Although it had been assimilated into the Infinity Technique before this, it still retained so of its original features, such as Devil Qi and Yin Flas. However, it could no longer keep up with the progress in his condition. Helpless, he could only rge it into the Infinity Technique.
Fortunately, although the Eight-Headed Devil Art was absorbed, its strengthening effects on his body remained, though he was slightly weaker without the support of Devil Qi than he once had been.
However, he had the amplified enhancents he received after he digested the essences. So, Lu Sheng’s body increased in strength instead.
He had already gained insight on Yin Fla’s nature a long ti ago. He even grew special structures that helped him manipulate Yin Flas. His spirit had even transford into a unique state which was similar to Yin Flas. It would not vanish alongside the disintegration of his Devil Body.
‘Well then, now’s the ti to pile all my ntal Energy onto the East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod and see if it can be improved.’
Lu Sheng focused his mind.
A pure white diamond-shaped gemstone slowly appeared behind him. Countless black tendrils extended from the gemstone and stabbed into the empty space around them as if they were sucking on sothing.
“East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod, rank-9. (Special traits. All-nourishing effect. Fertile Radiance. Civilization Transition.)”
After taking care of the impurities within his body, Lu Sheng glanced at the modifier again. He imdiately saw the derive button behind the fra.
After a slight pause, Lu Sheng moved his consciousness and pushed the derive button softly.
“Derive the East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod by one rank.”
“Hiss...”
The fra instantly blurred. ntal Energy gushed forth like a spring. Lu Sheng could not rember how many ntal Energy units he had used for his last rank-up. However, he was certain that it was at least 1,000,000 units.
He reckoned that it would be more than that this ti.
He stared at his rapidly dwindling ntal Energy units calmly.
A huge amount of ntal Energy was converted into Soil Qi before his chest. The Soil Qi filled up the fertilizing thod while his ntal Energy silently seeped into the air around him and nourished his Heart World.
1,000,000... 2,000,000... 3,000,000...
The rate at which his ntal Energy was depleted made his eyes jump. However, he could not bring himself to look away.
Ti flew past quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been two hours.
The fra finally clarified. The reduction of his ntal Energy also slowed to a stop. He had expended slightly more than 9,000,000 ntal Energy units. He was left with more than 8,000,000 units.
The new fra bore no semblance to its predecessor.
“Unknown cultivation thod (forr East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod), rank-10. (Special traits. Qianshen Immortal Body. All-nourishing effect. Fertile Radiance. Civilization Transition.)”
Lu Sheng clearly felt the Soil Qi within himself improving by leaps and bounds. Also, there was the addition of an ability called the Qianshen Immortal Body among its special traits.
Qianshen was the reincarnation heart image which he’d ford after Arriving in the Mystic World and gaining insight on his latest tier. This was a huge creature ford purely by the guidance of his spirit on the world. It was also the manifestation of his real spirit.
“Qianshen Immortal Body... This should be the result of a rging between it and my White Feather Mantra’s undead properties,” Lu Sheng guessed.
He did not have enough ntal Energy units even if he wanted to continue deriving. The amount he had to spend by deriving would far surpass that if he ranked it up directly.
This was especially true the more he advanced. The consumption of his ntal Energy was at mind-blowing levels right now. This recent derivation had taken up 9,000,000 ntal Energy units.
Lu Sheng stood up slowly. Although the derivation was complete, he still felt an ache in his heart. He cold only hope to earn more during his next trip to the Mystic World.
‘Although I have no reference to compare against, my Void Underworld tier should be much more stable now... Originally, it should only be able fortified by absorbing reincarnation power, but I didn’t expect that ntal Energy can even replace the reincarnation spirit... I wonder what kind of energy this is...’
Lu Sheng drew his arm across the air. There were still remnants of energy left in the hidden chamber. They were instantly cleared away by a mass of dark yellow mist.
This dark yellow mist was the Soil Qi which he now controlled.
‘The current East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing thod cannot be called with that na anymore. The Qianshen Immortal Body alone is enough to make it look like an entirely new thing. Let’s call it Qianshen thod from now on.’ Lu Sheng casually ca up with a na.
Lu Sheng stood up, and his body shrunk into a ball of yellow light. He flew out of the little hole in the hidden chamber and reappeared in the yard.
‘I’ll keep Empress Wa’s essence for now. This thing isn’t of much use for right now. It can only be converted into original competence to fortify the foundation of my cultivation base.’
Lu Sheng sat on the rock bench in his backyard. He took a sip of the juice prepared for him.
‘I can use it to trade for sothing else. Compared to ranking up my competence and cultivation base using Empress Wa’s essence, ntal Energy does a better job. Also, at this stage, I should start planning for my future...’
He heaved a long sigh. When he just Arrived in the Heavenly Devil World, he was forced by the circumstances to struggle every step of the way and kill to survive.
Lu Sheng hit many bumps throughout his journey, which had been extrely difficult. He experienced countless trials and setbacks, but he overca them all.
Now, after he entered Libra City, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that he was starting to have peace. He had difficulty getting used to this.
Toram Bach filled up the cup with more juice. Then, she stood there silently without moving a muscle.
Lu Sheng emptied the glass and looked at Toram Bach.
“Toram, why do people keep on living?” When Lu Sheng asked this question, he suddenly rembered Xu Zijun.
For a woman who lived her entire life for soone else, she had no regrets.
She initially lived with no complaints or regrets, but she lost her way in the end.
Toram Bach was stunned. It seed that this was her first ti being asked such a question.
She gave it so thought before answering, “To... live better, I guess...”
“To live better?”
“Yes,” Toram Bach said drily. “Living in this world is like steering a boat against the current. If we’re not moving forward, we’ll naturally fall backward. Nobody has the ti to figure out what aning life holds. To be able to live itself is already a source of happiness for them.”
Her speech seed to have been inspired by her emotions. It was rare for her to say this much.
Lu Sheng nodded in agreent.
“Yes... If we’re not moving forward, we’ll be overtaken by the people behind us. In natural selection, it’s the survival of the fittest... Nobody can run away from that...”
He knew that the reason why nobody had noticed his abnormal increase in power was because of the war.
There were those who thought that he had gone to so other world with different ti flow to cultivate. There were also those who thought that he was a divine immortal who was reincarnated into the present life.
Up until now, he was safe because nobody had investigated him thoroughly.
However, once soone noticed his unique case of achieving the heights of the Void Underworld tier which ordinary people could not even imagine about in less than 200 years, and if word of this got out, the repercussions it would bring were certainly not sothing that he could withstand for now.
However, Lu Sheng was not feeling happy with this current situation. It was true that he had relied on Deep Blue many tis, but he felt that his painstaking cultivation and hard work was what made him this powerful.
Most of the ti, if he did not work hard and remain fearless in the face of dangers and obstacles, Deep Blue could not have had such a profound effect on him.
If one entertained the thought of Deep Blue having another host, the person would be resting on his laurels back in Great Song, too lazy to make a single move.
In truth, Deep Blue was only a prir. Everything he had now was the fruit of his hard work, accumulation, efforts, and painstaking cultivation.
Lu Sheng had always thought that Deep Blue did not play too huge of a role, and that he had always relied more on himself.
‘After bringing my people here, I’ll settle down and start cultivating.’ Lu Sheng sighed inwardly.
With this thought, there seed to be a fla rising up within him. The fla was slowly burning and scorching his heart.
He asked himself. Would he truly be willing to spend his days peacefully cultivating in a place for thousands and thousands of years?
The answer was...

**********
Yellow Springs Planet #3.
A pitch-black fish-shaped flying ship passed through the atmospheric layer slowly and shot past one of the openings in the Black asure Web.
The flying ship flew under the planet’s shadow. Combined with its own camouflaging thod, it quickly flew away from the Yellow Springs Galaxy.
Mi Guangying stood inside the flying ship’s main control room alongside Anza and a white-haired old gentleman. They looked at the shrinking Yellow Springs Planet in the distance through the crystal window panes.
“We’ve successfully passed through the first line of defense. As long as we break through the second line of defense, the Black Swimming Fish Web, we should be reaching the rendezvous point safely,” Mi Guangying spoke softly.
“We’ll leave everything up to you, Lady Mi Guangying,” the gentleman spoke softly, smiling. He did not appear this old before this. However, ever since a failed joint operation with Anza, his condition quickly deteriorated.
“Don’t worry. My uncle has just given a signal. As long as we break through the second line of defense, we’ll be able to reach the rendezvous point soon,” Mi Guangying said this with a smile.
