Although Phantom Moon Star Lord had not seen the full manifestation of Xiao Weiqing's Soul Cultivation Technique...

However...

Just from the corner of the starry sky revealed, she could judge that Xiao Weiqing's Soul Cultivation Technique was absolutely no ordinary thing. Even in her civilization, it would be a top-tier Soul Cultivation Technique.

"Could it be that a supreme powerhouse once visited this planet?"

Phantom Moon Star Lord was somewhat puzzled. When she was being hunted and fled, she vaguely felt that this part of the starry sky was at the edge of the Universe. What powerhouse would run here for no reason?

In the Void Realm.

Wei Lan's Divine Soul light cluster resonated with Xiao Weiqing as they cultivated the Starry Sky Contemplation Method.

The repair of the Divine Soul flaws proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

After an unknown amount of time.

Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan opened their eyes.

"You know what to do now? From now on, you'll have to rely on yourselves," Phantom Moon Star Lord said.

"Teacher!"

Wei Lan cried out in alarm.

At this moment, Phantom Moon Star Lord's remnant soul looked as if it was about to dissipate.

"Do not be sad. Remember what you promised me. There will be opportunities to meet again in the future."

"Master!"

Xiao Yue seemed to sense something and pushed the door open, rushing in.

"Xiao Yue, follow Wei Lan from now on and nurture her well."

"I know, I know, Master." Xiao Yue's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Xiao Weiqing, if you become a supreme powerhouse one day, I hope you will remember today's sentiment..."

Before she could finish her words.

With a hint of lingering attachment and a trace of unwillingness, Phantom Moon Star Lord slowly dissipated.

"Master!"

Xiao Yue lunged forward suddenly, but only caught empty air.

Xiao Weiqing sighed. Even someone as strong as a Star Lord died with regrets. The Universe was truly awe-inspiring.

However.

Did Phantom Moon Star Lord have something left unsaid just now?

Well, he probably didn't need to worry about it.

He had already promised Kolen the Demigod one thing. He didn't want to carry so many burdens before even reaching the Star Lord Realm. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Wei Lan, did Phantom Moon Star Lord make any requests of you?"

Wei Lan said, "Teacher hopes that once my cultivation is successful in the future, I can make a trip to the Red Moon Civilization in the Aluns Star Sector."

"Aluns Star Sector, Red Moon Civilization?"

"What for?"

"Teacher didn't say."

"Then we won't go. We'll just stay on Blue Star."

"No!"

"Little Master must go."

Xiao Yue wiped her tears and said loudly.

Xiao Weiqing said, "Little squirt, you'd better understand the current situation. Whether we go or not isn't up to you. Besides, our Blue Star Civilization can barely protect itself; how could we have time to go to the Red Moon Civilization?"

"Since Little Master promised to go to the Red Moon Civilization, how can she go back on her word? Little Master, I can help you Breakthrough to the Star Lord Realm as quickly as possible."

Xiao Weiqing's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Breakthrough to the Star Lord Realm? How long?"

"By your Blue Star time, ten years—no, eight years!"

Xiao Yue said with certainty, though her tone lacked a bit of confidence.

"Really?"

"Re... Really..." Xiao Yue stammered.

"I swear, even if eight years isn't enough, nine years will definitely do it."

Xiao Weiqing laughed and said, "You're small, but you talk big. Phantom Moon Star Lord is gone; what ability do you have to help Wei Lan?"

"Why couldn't I?"

"Although I can't Cultivate techniques and have no combat power, I have a long life. Moreover, the cultivation resources left by Master are all in my hands."

"Is that so?"

"Resources? Where? Let me see."

"In..."

"What are you trying to do? These are all left for Little Master." Xiao Yue looked defensive.

At that moment.

Wei Lan said, "Sister Xiao Yue, I want to see what Teacher left for me." After speaking, Wei Lan winked at Xiao Weiqing. She knew Xiao Weiqing was saying all this because he wanted to confirm if Phantom Moon Star Lord really intended to nurture her.

One must always be on guard. Although she believed Phantom Moon Star Lord wouldn't harm her, if she had to choose between Phantom Moon Star Lord and Xiao Weiqing, Wei Lan would choose Xiao Weiqing without hesitation.

"..." Xiao Yue was speechless.

"You can't see it now. You must reach the Third Rank as soon as possible to open Master's treasury and obtain the next stage of cultivation resources."

"Hmph—"

"So there are conditions. It seems Phantom Moon Star Lord isn't sincerely nurturing Wei Lan. Wei Lan, let's go."

Xiao Weiqing took Wei Lan's hand.

Wei Lan did not hesitate and followed Xiao Weiqing out of the room.

"Don't, Little Master, don't go."

Xiao Yue flew out to block the two of them.

"Little Master, you must believe me. With my assistance, you will definitely become one of the top Star Lords in the Universe in the future."

"Master did this for a reason. Although it's very pragmatic, if something really happens to you, I can still select the next Disciple for Master."

Xiao Weiqing said coldly, "Top Star Lord? Isn't that still just a Star Lord?"

"Phantom Moon Star Lord was so strong, yet didn't she still perish?"

"As for Wei Lan, she'll follow me from now on. I won't let anything happen to her."

"Wei Lan, let's go."

Xiao Weiqing was extremely repulsed by the concept of Bloodlines. Especially after experiencing so much with the Yao Race, he became increasingly resistant to such things.

"Brother Qing, wait."

Xiao Weiqing frowned but still stopped his pace.

"Sister Xiao Yue, since I promised Teacher, I won't go back on it. However, Brother Qing is also right. Right now, our civilization is being invaded by the Yao Race. I can't stay hidden in the Secret Realm to Cultivate forever."

"If the Blue Star Civilization is gone, what use is it even if I Cultivate to the Star Lord Realm?"

"I have my own life, my family, and Brother Qing."

"Cultivating hard isn't just for the task Teacher gave me, but also so I can keep up with Brother Qing's footsteps and help him when he needs me in the future."

"If the price of inheriting Teacher's Bloodline is being far away from Brother Qing, then strip this Bloodline away. I told Teacher the same thing when she was still here. I think that's why Teacher isn't giving me the cultivation resources now. I can understand Teacher, but please understand me as well."

Xiao Yue froze upon hearing this. As a special intelligent lifeform, she had a long life, but in the end, she wasn't a real human.

"Brother Qing, let's go."

Xiao Weiqing patted Wei Lan's head.

He looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Wei Lan can stay here to Cultivate. However, let me see this treasury you mentioned to confirm that you are truly willing and have the strength to nurture Wei Lan."

"Furthermore, our Blue Star is being attacked by the Yao Race. I need to pick a few useful items to increase my strength. Consider it as me owing Phantom Moon Star Lord a favor."

"Sister Xiao Yue, is that okay?"

Wei Lan's eyes held a hint of hope.

Xiao Yue fell into silence.

She could tell that Wei Lan really cared about Xiao Weiqing's opinion. If she didn't agree, the two of them might really leave.

As for whether they would return, or wait until Wei Lan reached the Third Rank to return, she couldn't be sure.

However.

Just as the two had said, their civilization was being attacked by the Yao Race. Civilizations targeted by the Yao Race since ancient times rarely had good endings. She was afraid Wei Lan would never return, and even more afraid she might accidentally die outside.

After all, the Blue Star Civilization was currently so weak that it didn't even have a single Star Lord.

Xiao Yue thought for a moment and sighed.

She didn't dare to gamble.

Master had finally found a suitable successor after much difficulty. If she missed this, there might not be a next time.

Furthermore.

With a Super Grade Divine Soul, as long as Xiao Weiqing didn't perish, he was bound to be a top powerhouse in the future. Helping him now wasn't out of the question.

Under the gaze of the two, Xiao Yue said:

"Follow me."
