Chapter 384: Goodbye, Lu Xueqi

I don't know what stellar power Liu Xinghe has drawn.

I don't know what stellar power Liu Xinghe has absorbed.

Being near the star, Lu Xun couldn't help but think of Liu Xinghe.

Being near the star, Lu Xun couldn't help thinking of Liu Xinghe.

The stellar power Liu Xinghe absorbed is likely a special energy emitted by the star.

The stellar power Liu Xinghe absorbed should also be a special energy emitted by the star.

Combined with dark energy, Liu Xinghe's cultivation can grow at an astonishing speed.

Combined with Dark Energy, it could let Liu Xinghe's cultivation increase at an astonishing speed.

His cultivation speed is no slower than Murong Wan's.

His cultivation speed is not slower than Murong Wan's.

But more than that, Lu Xun wonders how Liu Xinghe will catch up.

But compared to that, Lu Xun is more curious about how Liu Xinghe will catch up.

Using the star gate once consumes ten thousand cubic units of dark energy.

Using the Star Gate once consumes ten thousand cubic units of Dark Energy.

Did the Liu family prepare enough dark energy for Liu Xinghe?

Has the Liu Family prepared enough Dark Energy for Liu Xinghe?

Perhaps the Liu family is unaware of this.

Perhaps the Liu Family doesn't know this.

If they don't know, it gets even more interesting—Liu Xinghe catching up would be extremely difficult.

If they don't know, it's even more interesting—Liu Xinghe wanting to catch up would be too difficult.

Just finding the star gate is no easy task.

Just finding the Star Gate is not easy.

In the previous ancient road node, Lu Xun traveled throughout all major spiritual realms but found no sign of the star gate.

In the previous Ancient Road Node, Lu Xun's footsteps covered all the major Spirit Realms, yet he found no trace of the Star Gate.

Of course, Lu Xun's cultivation was low back then, so he couldn't reach higher-level spiritual realms.

Of course, Lu Xun's cultivation was low back then, so he couldn't go to higher-level Spirit Realms.

Even if he later teamed up with Fu Xue, she was only at the peak of the sixth realm then.

Even if he later acted together with Fu Xue, Fu Xue was only at the peak of the Six Realms at that time.

The star gate is probably in a higher-level spiritual realm.

The Star Gate is mostly located in higher-level Spirit Realms.

Now Lu Xun's strength has undergone a qualitative shift, allowing him to contend with seventh-realm cultivators; with the Golden Toad's help, he should be able to venture into a higher spiritual realm.

Now Lu Xun's strength has undergone a qualitative change, capable of handling the Seven Realms level, and with the Golden Toad's presence, he should be able to go check out higher-level Spirit Realms.

If Fu Yue and Fu Xue each break through again before Lu Xun enters the ancient road node on Blue Star, his strength will grow even more.

If Fu Yue and Fu Xue break through once more before entering the Ancient Road Node on Lan Xing, Lu Xun's strength will increase further.

Fu Yue should be on the verge of a breakthrough, right?

"Fu Yue should be about to break through, right?"

After Fu Lao Yezi's birthday, Lu Xun spent over three months helping Ran Bing, and recently another month helping Murong Wan.

After Old Master Fu's birthday, Lu Xun spent over three months helping Ran Bing, and recently spent another month helping Murong Wan.

Including the intermittent periods, Fu Yue and Fu Xue have been in seclusion for nearly half a year this time.

Adding the intermittent periods in between, Fu Yue and Fu Xue have been in closed-door cultivation for nearly half a year this time.

You should know, they previously stayed in seclusion for a full year.

You know, they previously did closed-door cultivation for a full year.

After such a long time, Fu Yue should be close to a breakthrough.

With that much time, Fu Yue is likely not far from a breakthrough.

Moreover, Fu Xue hasn't seen much progress either.

Moreover, Fu Xue hasn't gained much either.

Reaching the seventh realm indeed takes a long time.

Cultivation in the Seven Realms indeed takes a long time.

However, Fu Xue should also soon see results.

However, Fu Xue should also soon have some gains.

It would be great if we could bind another target before they break through.

"If we could bind another one before they break through, that would be great."

Lu Xun was plotting.

Lu Xun was scheming.

Adding another binding target would increase the return multiplier to up to seventy times.

If we add another binding target, the return multiplier can reach seventy times.

After the two women break through, the gains will naturally be greater.

After the two women break through, the gains they bring will naturally be greater.

However, Lu Xun still hasn't found a suitable binding target.

However, Lu Xun still hasn't found a suitable binding target.

Mainly because his standards are too high now.

Mainly, his standards are too high now.

Ordinary geniuses don't even catch Lu Xun's eye.

Ordinary geniuses, Lu Xun simply doesn't look down on.

Blue Star is growing stronger, producing more geniuses each year.

Lan Xing is becoming stronger and stronger, with the number of geniuses born each year increasing.

For example, this year, before the major exam, over three hundred geniuses have already opened the Heaven-Earth Meridian and broken through.

For example, this year, before the big exam, the number of geniuses who opened the Heaven Earth Meridian and broke through has reached three hundred.

Compared to Lu Xun's class, there are several dozen more.

Compared to Lu Xun's cohort, there are several dozen more.

Little Phoenix, how did you get into the star?

"Little Phoenix, how did you get into the star?"

At that moment, Lu Xun saw the phoenix dive headfirst into the star, vanishing in an instant.

At that moment, Lu Xun discovered that the Phoenix had plunged headfirst into the star, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The star's environment is so unique that even Lu Xun's divine sense struggles to penetrate it.

The star's environment is too special; even Lu Xun's divine sense finds it hard to penetrate deeply.

Fortunately, he can still sense Little Phoenix's presence.

Fortunately, he could still sense Little Phoenix's presence.

Little Phoenix is quite intelligent; since it dared to dive into the star, there's no issue.

Little Phoenix's wisdom is not low; since it dared to plunge into the star, there's no problem.

Although the star is scorching, Little Phoenix is a phoenix—born to play with fire—so it's not a big issue.

Although the star's temperature is high, Little Phoenix is a Phoenix, inherently fond of fire, so it's not a big issue.

Let's use the Heavenly Dao Eye.

"Let's take a look with the Heavenly Dao Eye."

Lu Xun tried the Heavenly Dao Eye to locate Little Phoenix and to test its usability.

Lu Xun tried the Heavenly Dao Eye, wanting to find Little Phoenix, and also test whether it could be used.

However, on the star's surface, the Heavenly Dao Eye is ineffective.

However, on the star's surface, the Heavenly Dao Eye doesn't work well.

The star is so blazing that its heavenly and earthly laws differ greatly from the outside, making it hard for the Heavenly Dao Eye to see deep inside.

The star is too scorching; here the laws of heaven and earth differ greatly from the outside, making it hard for the Heavenly Dao Eye to peer deep into the star's interior.

Worrying is pointless; it's just needless anxiety.

Worrying is useless; it's just needless worry.

So Lu Xun let go of his worries and kept waiting.

So Lu Xun set aside his worries and continued waiting.

After waiting a while and feeling bored, he released the Nanming Li Fire to see if there was anything near the star for it to absorb.

Waiting and waiting, he felt bored, so he released the Southern Ming Separation Fire, wanting to see if there was anything near the star for it to absorb.

This test showed that there is indeed some, but not much.

This test, Lu Xun found that there indeed was some, but not much.

The Nanming Li Fire has very particular needs.

The demand of Southern Ming Separation Fire is extremely particular.

It either likes dark energy or demonic power—things like monster clan energy.

Either Dark Energy, or something like demonic power or the demon clan—those are its favorites.

Near the star, even inside it, the Nanming Li Fire requires only a small amount of energy.

Near the star, including inside the star, Southern Ming Separation Fire doesn't need much energy.

The creator of the Nanming Li Fire is a ninth-realm cultivator.

The creator of Southern Ming Separation Fire is a Nine Realms cultivator.

For a ninth-realm cultivator, an ordinary star is no challenge—it's child's play. If there were truly abundant substances useful to the Nanming Li Fire inside, why wouldn't the original ninth-realm cultivator have placed the Nanming Li Fire inside the star?

For a Nine Realms cultivator, an ordinary star presents no difficulty, it's like child's play; if there truly were large amounts of things useful to Southern Ming Separation Fire inside, why wouldn't the original Nine Realms cultivator have placed the fire inside the star?

The key is still dark energy.

The key is still Dark Energy.

Only after countless years of using dark energy as fuel, together with a special formation, did the Nanming Li Fire finally come into being.

It is only after countless years of using Dark Energy as fuel, combined with a special formation, that Southern Ming Separation Fire finally came into being.

I guess there's still some time left to refine the Hui'er pill.

"Looks like there's still some time left to refine the Hui'er Pill."

Seeing that Xiao Jin still needs considerable time to finish, and the little phoenix has vanished without a trace, Lu Xun, with nothing better to do, decided to refine pills.

Seeing that Little Gold still needs a lot of time to be settled, and the Little Phoenix has vanished without a trace, Lu Xun, having nothing better to do, decided to refine pills.

He flew up again, raised his hand to set up a formation, and began refining.

He flew up again, then raised his hand to set up a formation, and began refining in this way.

Time passed day by day.

Time passed day by day.

After Little Gold had just recovered to eighth rank, the energy it needed to absorb was enormous.

It was still not that easy to handle.

One day, two days, three days...

Soon, a month passed.

Little Gold still hadn't absorbed enough.

Lu Xun, on the other hand, had refined quite a few Saint-grade elixirs.

"Someone's here."

After another week, Lu Xun sensed someone approaching.

He had deliberately chosen this spot to stay far from the fleets producing energy blocks.

"I don't know who it is."

Lu Xun put away his alchemy furnace, lest anyone discover he could make elixirs.

Stars are so terrifying; of the billions on Lan Xing, the vast majority can only gaze up at the star.

Those who can reach the star's surface are extremely few.

Few, but they do exist.

And indeed, Lu Xun encountered one.

The other party was approaching.

Lu Xun didn't know who the other party was, and he became wary.

When the other party drew near, finally, Lu Xun saw them.

"Lu Xueqi?"

It was a woman dressed in a moon-white long robe.

Lu Xun had seen her before.

It was indeed Lu Xueqi of the Lu family.

Her robe must be a treasure of extremely high quality; otherwise, ordinary clothing at this altitude would have instantly turned to ash.

"Lu Xun? Is that you!"

Lu Xueqi also saw Lu Xun.
