Chapter 20: New Fishing Attempt, Three Thousand Burning Flame

At the edge of the lawn were a few tall trees, with lush branches and leaves, bringing some shade without blocking the view.

"It's really... unexpectedly good."

Ye Xuan muttered to himself, his tone carrying a bit of satisfaction.

To be honest, Ye Xuan didn't have high expectations for the living environment at first, thinking it wouldn't be any different from a normal residential area.

The only difference was that normal residential areas were inhabited by ordinary people, while this area was inhabited by superpowered individuals and holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos.

High-end villas, private gardens, and lawns were completely beyond his expectations.

It seemed that his position in the hearts of the Heavenly Pivot Bureau was quite high; otherwise, it would have been impossible to arrange such good living conditions for him.

As for food, there was a dedicated chef team to cook for him every day, preparing food 24 hours a day according to his needs.

Whether it was Chinese or Western food, it would be prepared for him at the first opportunity.

As for exercise equipment, although Ye Xuan didn't really need it, it was very complete here. All common exercise equipment on the market was available here, and there were even some special devices designed specifically for superpowered individuals.

If he wanted to go out, there would be a dedicated driver on standby at any time to ensure his travel convenience.

Besides that, if he had any special needs, he could instruct them at any time, and the "Heavenly Pivot Bureau" would purchase them for him.

However, on this point, the butler, like the previous driver, suggested that he contact Su Mengyao directly. As for the reason, Ye Xuan didn't think much about it; it was nothing more than Su Mengyao binding the two together to prevent other colleagues in the Heavenly Pivot Bureau who valued Ye Xuan's potential from trying to poach him.

Although he didn't know what good this did for Su Mengyao.

In the end, there was only one thing he had to do, and that was to constantly cultivate and become stronger.

Nothing more.

Time passed quietly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Perhaps it was because Ye Xuan's own talent and Wangquan Baye's talent produced some kind of wonderful chemical reaction after being superimposed, or perhaps his talent was already quite good, but his progress in the way of the sword was much faster than he had imagined.

Although he hadn't developed a complete Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi, he already had a clear train of thought and direction. Within a month at most, he was confident he could develop his own Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi.

This speed didn't seem to be much faster than the original Wangquan Baye, but one had to know that Wangquan Baye had the real Wangquan Sword to comprehend, while he did not.

Being able to create his own Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi in such a short time was enough to show how terrifying Ye Xuan's talent in the way of the sword was now.

It wasn't just the way of the sword; it was the same for cultivation.

Ye Xuan's guess was correct. The reason why humans in Wangquan Baye's world couldn't achieve immortality was that the energy in that world couldn't cause their life level to change.

Although their strength constantly improved, their essence didn't change, and they still belonged to the category of humans; even demons were the same. Their life level also didn't evolve, and the reason they had long lifespans was because their own race was long-lived to begin with.

And the Qi of his world was a type of energy that could allow the life level to constantly improve.

After just seven days of cultivation, he could clearly feel the changes occurring in his body; his bones were gradually hardening, his skin was becoming tough, and every part of his body was changing.

The world seemed to have shed a layer of hazy gauze, becoming incomparably clear.

Normally, in just seven days, no matter how strong Ye Xuan's cultivation talent was, it would be impossible for such obvious changes to occur.

But strictly speaking, Ye Xuan wasn't starting cultivation from zero to one, but rather his body was reaching the level matching his own realm under the nourishment of Qi.

Possessing power far surpassing humans while his body was no different from an ordinary person's was inherently deformed, even if the Wangquan family wasn't good at body refining.

Ye Xuan was just transforming his body to a level equal to his own cultivation.

But even so, it still allowed his strength to obtain a not-insignificant improvement.

However, whether it was the progress in the way of the sword or the improvement in cultivation, it wasn't the point for Ye Xuan.

The point was that seven days had passed, and it was now the beginning of the second month; this also meant that he had obtained a new fishing attempt.

This also confirmed the rule for the System giving fishing attempts: it wasn't one month after the last time the fishing attempt was issued, but based on human time—at the beginning of every second month, the System would give him a new fishing attempt.

Although his talent was strong enough now that even relying on himself, he had a very fast speed in cultivation, but compared to cheating, what was the use of talent, no matter how strong?

Humans have limits!

Ye Xuan didn't hesitate and directly sank his consciousness into the System.

"System, use fishing attempt."

One second after Ye Xuan's words fell, his vision fell into a brief darkness, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already above the endless galaxy.

In front of him was a vast universe, with stars like the sea, brilliant and dazzling. Each star was like an independent world, emitting different rays of light.

Ye Xuan stood in the void, and although it wasn't his first time seeing it, he still felt shocked.

However, Ye Xuan didn't lose his focus for too long because of this scene; he knew his purpose for coming here.

With a slight movement of his mind, a fishing rod slowly emerged from his palm.

A golden thread hung down from the tip of the fishing rod, extending straight into that brilliant galaxy, like a bond connecting endless worlds.

The thread slowly hung into the star sea, and time seemed to lose its meaning at this moment; perhaps a second had passed, or perhaps an hour, but to Ye Xuan, it was just an instant.

Accompanied by the violent vibration of the fishing rod in his hand, as if something was struggling at the other end, Ye Xuan didn't hesitate and quickly lifted the fishing rod, and then he saw the fishing line carrying a sphere emitting a soft light rising rapidly.

The surface of the light sphere flowed with purple-black light, and inside it seemed to contain some kind of powerful force, making one's heart palpitate.

【Ding】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item: Three Thousand Burning Flame】

The System's voice sounded at this moment, and immediately after, a new template appeared in front of him.

【Item Name: Three Thousand Burning Flame】

【World of Origin: Battle Qi World】

【Item Information: Ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it formed in the starry sky. After forming, silver flames fell from the sky, and a thousand miles of land became like a desert, with no distinction between day and night, no stars appearing, and no sun rising. Because it was born in outer space, it not only possesses the scorching heat of flames but also contains endless star power;

The possessor will obtain the "Three Thousand Starry Sky" physique, possessing extremely strong healing abilities. As long as the soul is not extinguished, the physical body can recover by absorbing star power, hence it is also known as the Undying Body.】

【Note: Can absorb star power to strengthen oneself or repair the body, but cannot recover lifespan lost due to performing secret arts.】
