387: Chapter 387 Unexpected Changes

"I'm telling the truth."

Thinking of Wei Lan, Xiao Weiqing's lips curled up into a faint smile.

"Hmm?"

"Are you lovesick?"

Lou Xiaoxing clicked his tongue in wonder. It was his first time seeing Xiao Weiqing with such an expression. He was very curious about what kind of woman could make Xiao Weiqing so concerned.

"Get lost."

Xiao Weiqing scolded with a laugh.

"I have no objection to you giving Tian Zhenzhen nirvana stones. As long as you think it's fine, it's fine."

This was Lou Xiaoxing's private matter; he wouldn't interfere. Whatever the outcome, Lou Xiaoxing would bear it himself.

After saying that.

Xiao Weiqing returned to his room and began a new round of Cultivation. The divine charm treasures he had brought were mostly consumed. He believed that in another week, his Physical Body would reach the Peak.

...

No. 9 Civilization Ruins.

The bright moon hung high.

Between two mountains.

Space rippled and distorted.

A flat, triangular aircraft appeared abruptly.

The aircraft was no more than thirty meters long and wide, small yet full of a sense of technology. Its entire body was seamless, as if it were a single piece.

Inside.

The main control room.

Four people were looking down through the window.

"Young Master, I didn't expect such a barren place to have a ruin like this," a woman said.

The leader laughed, his eyes filled with unspeakable surprise and joy. "Two fifth-grade divine fires, one Yin and one Yang. They can completely transform my Divine Soul and divine body into Super Grade. Once I have a Super Grade Divine Soul and divine body, I'll be able to join Qingxiao."

"Yasen, you've done well. I won't hold the previous matters against you."

The leader's name was Yafang, and he and Yasen were biological brothers.

"Brother, it's what I should do."

"However, seventy years ago, I encountered a woman at that ice mountain. She seized a portion of the divine fire and even injured me, though I seriously wounded her as well. I don't know how she is now, so we must be careful."

Yafang said, "It's fine. One look at this world and you can tell it's a breeding ground for the Fifth Universe Civilization. These Civilization Ruins were intentionally placed here. Since the divine fire is still here, that woman definitely hasn't reached the fifth grade. She is nothing to fear."

"If you hadn't accidentally come here and left a coordinate marker back then, we wouldn't have been able to enter so easily."

"Brother's analysis makes sense."

Yafang added, "Mir No. 3, scan the mountain and find the entrance."

"Received."

The bottom of the aircraft opened, and red and green lasers flashed in a crisscross pattern.

In just a few seconds.

Models of the two mountains appeared in the main control room.

"These two mountains are quite large; each has three entrances."

Yafang folded his arms, his long fingers tapping against his arm.

"Yasen, take Bass to that ice mountain. Enter from this entrance and go directly to retrieve the fifth-grade Yin divine fire. If you encounter any natives here, kill them. Remember not to leave any traces. Although we don't fear the Fifth Universe Civilization, we shouldn't be blatant about it."

"Okay."

Yasen turned to the man behind him and said, "Bass, let's go."

"Yes, Young Master Yasen."

The man's voice was sonorous. He had purple skin, large hands, and wide feet. His body was nearly three meters tall, and his physique and facial features were quite different from the other three.

"Miral, let's go too."

"Yes, Young Master Yafang."

The woman with the explosive figure behind Yafang whispered.

Four figures disappeared from inside the aircraft.

Then.

The aircraft in mid-air gradually became transparent, blending in with the environment.

...

...

Inside the volcano.

The hall.

"Eh?"

"Xiao Weiqing, your Physical Body has already reached the Seventh Realm Peak?" Lou Xiaoxing asked in surprise. This speed was faster than he had imagined.

Because of this, he was even more amazed by Xiao Weiqing's Cultivation speed.

He had been to Xiao Weiqing's room; that bag was full of energy-rich Heaven And Earth Treasures, abundant in divine charm. Compared to the amount of divine charm substance he had used before, it wasn't much less.

But.

That was exactly the point.

He knew that Xiao Weiqing had already absorbed a large amount of divine charm before this.

When he first met Xiao Weiqing.

Although Xiao Weiqing's body wasn't saturated yet, it was mostly complete, putting him at the Seventh Realm Late Stage.

This meant that.

When Xiao Weiqing was in the Seventh Realm, the cosmic energy he absorbed was a full double what he had, no, far more than that, perhaps even three or four times as much.

"Yeah."

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. Thinking back on this month of madness, even he found it incredible. It was dull and tedious; even killing Nirvana Warriors had become one of his few forms of entertainment.

"Then can't you start Constructing a Divine Body?"

"No rush, tomorrow."

Xiao Weiqing needed to slow down a bit and rest for a night. Tonight, he wouldn't think about anything, nor would he Cultivate the Star Contemplation Method; he would just have a good night's sleep.

Truly, over this past month, his nerves had been too tense. Overdoing it wasn't a good thing.

"What about you?"

"How's your progress?"

"It's alright, about what I expected. I'm almost done absorbing the second portion of nirvana stones. The changes in my body are very obvious; I feel like I have endless energy."

"That's good. Don't let me enter the Eighth Realm while you're still stuck."

Lou Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"If you want to enter the Eighth Realm before me, you'd have to finish absorbing three portions of nirvana stones within half a month."

Xiao Weiqing smiled. "That's hard to say."

"Haha... Xiao Weiqing, I admit your talent is better than mine, but Constructing a Divine Body isn't something talent alone can solve. This thing is all about compatibility. Since nirvana stones are attribute-less, I don't think you'll be much faster than me."

"If you really enter the Eighth Realm before me, I'll take the three portions of waste nirvana stones from your divine body construction and eat them directly."

"Oh?"

"So ruthless? Aren't you afraid of indigestion?"

Lou Xiaoxing snorted coldly. "That's none of your business. Let's bet three second-grade nirvana stones, how about it?"

"Fine, I'll take that bet."

Xiao Weiqing didn't refuse, treating it as a bit of fun to add to his dull Cultivation. To him, it was just three second-grade nirvana stones; giving them to Lou Xiaoxing wouldn't matter.

However.

If he won, Lou Xiaoxing would have a hard time. At that time, he'd let Lou Xiaoxing taste what nirvana stones were like.

"It's a deal."

"It's not like I'd go back on my word."

"Then I'll thank you for the nirvana stones in advance," Lou Xiaoxing laughed, looking as if victory was already in his grasp.

Then.

Lou Xiaoxing entered the first door and began challenging Third-Class Nirvana Warriors. Currently, he was unable to kill Second-Class Nirvana Warriors, so entering the second door would just be a waste. Lou Xiaoxing's personality was the exact opposite of Tian Zhenzhen's; he wouldn't force himself.

Xiao Weiqing, on the other hand, entered the second door. Now, only he could kill Second-Class Nirvana Warriors and collect second-grade nirvana stones.

It was strange; he had put nearly a hundred corpses of Second-Class Nirvana Warriors into his instrument, but he had never refined a first-grade nirvana stone. He didn't know if it was due to luck or if Second-Class Nirvana Warrior corpses simply had no chance of refining first-grade nirvana stones.

On the contrary, Lou Xiaoxing had used Third-Class Nirvana Warrior corpses to refine second-grade nirvana stones. Although they were only a third of the size, it had still made him happy for a few days.

That night.

After Cultivating the Star Contemplation Method for a while, Xiao Weiqing went to bed early and fell asleep. He needed a good night's rest to start Constructing a Divine Body tomorrow.

The night passed in silence.
