A barely audible whisper—the entire white glow exploded into countless tiny specks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon-condensed cold stars, each a minute white particle trailing a faint tail, fell into the vast golden spiritual sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gold slowly faded; the spiritual energy within the sea grew denser and more solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within mere minutes, the entire spiritual sea became crystal-clear, transparent to the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transformation of the spiritual sea did not stop there; a strange symbol rose from within it, its meaning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To pasture all beings, take their essence, nourish my spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first layer of the Mu Ling Yang Wu Jing proved even easier than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This first layer allows one to steal the essence of beasts, minor spirits, and Qi-refining practitioners to nourish oneself—but plants, creatures, and stars are beyond his current reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his hand; a thread of crystal-clear, nearly invisible spiritual energy flowed out, drifting and gliding across his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its intrinsic strength was nearly equal to that of ordinary external-material Foundation Establishment’s true origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already consumed sufficient Yang Jing Dan Xi; combined with this cup of Su Po Zhen Hua, it was equivalent to completing all three stages of human Cai-Lian training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could obtain a celestial rarity and extract its divine essence, he could forge a Tiansheng Daoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realm that many barely survive, enduring unbearable pain to achieve—he now held within his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And… it’s not the only path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearing the Cang Clan bloodline, he need only use the Mu Ling Yang Wu Jing to absorb essence—he need not rely on the divine essence of celestial rarities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away the Dan Hua Cup, rose from bed, and prepared to test the effects of the Mu Ling Yang Wu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he stepped out of his bedroom, he heard movement by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak~ The door opened, and his parents and older brother walked in, laughing and carrying many items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please collect and follow!!
