Chapter 1939: Black Obsidian Star Emerges! Venerable Minghuang's Communication!

"It went up by over a hundred thousand points again."

Xu Jingming glanced at his panel and nodded in satisfaction.

Although he was still far from breaking through to the next stage.

But every bit of strength gained meant one more bit of assurance for the trip to Black Obsidian Star.

In his spare time, he naturally played two-player games with Elise as well.

This little vixen, ever since she returned last time, had been clinging to his side and refused to leave.

That succubus saint body seemed to never know fatigue, full of tricks, passionate as fire.

Even with Xu Jingming's will like iron, he had to admit.

This succubus saint body was indeed the most ultimate enjoyment.

And the feedback power brought by the succubus saint body made his cultivation twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, he wouldn't indulge in it too deeply either.

He would set aside time to enter the virtual universe and consult Venerable Xiyue on the cultivation of the two supreme arts, "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment" and "World-Destroying Thunder Spear."

With a Realm Venerable powerhouse personally guiding him, his comprehension speed was shockingly fast.

Just like that, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

And the news of Black Obsidian Star's emergence finally spread completely.

"Black Obsidian Star emerges! A great opportunity has arrived!"

"Hahaha! It's finally here! This time I'm determined to find a peak heavy treasure!"

"Peak heavy treasure? I want an utmost treasure!"

"Just you? Better worry about getting out alive first!"

"Countless utmost treasures inside Black Obsidian Star, pick up any one and it's enough for me to live a lifetime!"

"..."

Madness!

All the Ruler-stage powerhouses in the entire universe have gone mad!

No choice.

Peak heavy treasures are too rare!

Ordinary Ruler-stage powerhouses, in their entire lives, might not necessarily possess a single peak heavy treasure.

What's more, Black Obsidian Star not only has heavy treasures, but even utmost treasures!

Those are utmost treasures!

Utmost treasures that even Realm Venerable powerhouses dream of!

If one could luckily obtain one, that would be a true soaring to the skies in a single leap!

The day the news spread.

Ruler-stage powerhouses from all major races in the universe began setting off one after another, planning to head to Black Obsidian Star.

The human race, naturally, was no exception.

And as the human race's number one pride, the top combat power beneath Realm Venerables.

Xu Jingming naturally received invitations from many Ruler-stage powerhouses.

"Tianxing, are you going to Black Obsidian Star? Let's go together."

"Tianxing, free lately? Form a team? A few of us End Rulers acting together, safety is guaranteed."

"Xu Jingming, I have an internal map of Black Obsidian Star here, want to study it together?"

"Brother Jingming, long admired your great name! For the Black Obsidian Star trip, do you have a team? How about taking me along?"

"..."

In the virtual universe, Xu Jingming's contact list was practically blown up.

Countless human Ruler-stage powerhouses all wanted to team up with him.

After all, having such a fierce person around, that sense of security just maxes out!

Xu Jingming declined them one by one.

The reasons used were all that he might be targeted by alien races, afraid of dragging them down.

But in reality, he was used to being alone.

For this trip, besides Elise, he wouldn't bring anyone.

The day before Xu Jingming prepared to set off for Black Obsidian Star.

Elise's communicator suddenly rang.

It was Venerable Minghuang calling.

"It's my mother! What do I do, should I answer??"

Elise cried out in alarm, a trace of panic flashing in her amethyst-like eyes.

If it were usual times, she would naturally pick up immediately, but right now, Xu Jingming was......

"Answer it, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xu Jingming said with a wicked grin, "Just show your face, enable facial lock, Teacher won't be able to tell anything."

Immediately after......

"You big bad guy!"

Elise scolded with a reddened pretty face.

But she didn't refuse, biting her red lips......

Then she raised the communicator on her wrist to her face, activating the projection mode that only reflected cheeks and neck.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the answer button.

"Buzz——!"

A blood-red light curtain projected from the communication bracelet.

In the light curtain, the dignified and noble, stunningly beautiful face of the Nether Phoenix Venerable gradually appeared.

"Ilya, my daughter."

The Nether Phoenix Venerable's voice was as calm and unruffled as ever as she spoke:

"How is it lately at the Return to Origin Holy Hall?"

"Mother, I, I'm doing fine here."

Ilya hurriedly spoke, but her voice carried a barely perceptible tremor.

Meanwhile, outside the light curtain......

Ilya bit down hard on her lower lip, barely suppressing that......

"Hmm?"

The Nether Phoenix Venerable's brows furrowed slightly as she sensed something amiss:

"Why is your face so red?"

"No, nothing! I was just cultivating."

Ilya quickly changed the subject:

"Mother, you called me for something?"

She forced herself to finish speaking.

But Xu Jingming at this moment......

Ilya's whole body gave a......

"You little rascal."

Although the Nether Phoenix Venerable was puzzled, she didn't pay it much mind.

Ilya had only just broken through to the Sovereign stage not long ago, so unstable cultivation aura is normal.

She soon spoke again:

"I called you to remind you of something."

"Mo, mother, please speak...!!......!"

Ilya had just begun speaking when she......

Fortunately, the Nether Phoenix Venerable seemed not to notice, and continued:

"You should have heard the news about the birth of the Black Radiance Star, right?"

"But with your strength at the initial Tribulation Sovereign stage, going there would be suicide."

"Stay honestly in the Return to Origin Holy Hall; you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"I, I understand... Mother."

"Good that you understand."

The Nether Phoenix Venerable nodded, then glanced at her daughter again:

"Also, how did the investigation into Xu Jingming go, as I asked you to do earlier?"

"Still, still haven't found a chance to approach him... uh... Mother, don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible...... ah......"

The last sentence, Ilya almost...... 【98】 The Nether Phoenix Venerable finally sensed something wrong, her brows furrowing slightly as she said:

The Nether Phoenix Venerable finally sensed something was off, frowning slightly as he said:

"Ilya, what exactly are you doing?"

"Nothing! Mother, I... I'm at a critical point in my cultivation!"

Ilya, thinking on her feet, hurriedly said:

"Mother, my cultivation has reached a crucial point here, so, so let's not talk anymore!"

After saying that, without waiting for the Nether Phoenix Venerable's reply, she directly hung up the communication.

"Whoosh——!!!"

At the instant the communication was cut off, Ilya once again......

Her whole body......

That stunningly beautiful face turned red enough to almost drip with blood, and she coquettishly scolded:

"You, you're too much!!"

Ilya weakly punched Xu Jingming, her voice soft and alluring:

"I almost got caught by Mother!"

"Don't worry, she won't find out."

Xu Jingming chuckled lowly, his large hand still......

"You... scoundrel... ah!"

Ilya still wanted to say something, but she......

Meanwhile.

Demon race, Blood Demon Palace depths.

The Nether Phoenix Venerable looked at the communication device in her hand that had already been disconnected, her brows slightly furrowed.

"This girl, just now she was acting strange."

She muttered softly to herself.

But thinking of Ilya's lively personality, she didn't pay it much mind.

But she never would have imagined that her daughter's recent oddity stemmed from any particular cause.
