407: Chapter 407 The Path of the Star Lord

The Great Sage said, "This is already the maximum support I can give you. Any more would violate the rules of the game."

"Then this trade isn't equal. You've essentially given me a few bodyguards for a limited time, but in the future, I have to give you a habitable planet."

"That's not how the math works. Right now, your civilization is in a time of crisis; you need our help more."

"Taking advantage of someone's peril?"

The Great Sage: "..."

"I think 'providing help in an hour of need' is a better way to put it."

"Whatever, but I'm still getting the short end of the stick," Xiao Weiqing said, seemingly unsatisfied with the bargaining chips of their trade.

"I promise on behalf of the Kuhn Civilization that once our civilization is rebuilt, everything we have can be shared with the Blue Star," the Great Sage said.

"For real?"

"For real."

"Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word when the time comes?"

"Within the ruins, everything of the Kuhn Civilization is recorded, including the investment in you."

"Of course, most importantly, I believe in my own judgment and won't misjudge someone. As I said, my intuition has always been very accurate."

Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment and decided to agree.

"Fine, I accept your deal."

As for Xiao Weiqing, he wasn't afraid of the Great Sage going back on his word either. If one day he could truly control the entire Incubation Ground, his strength would surely be above the Star Lord, and the Kuhn Civilization wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Senior Grace, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Ten days."

"Ten days?"

Xiao Weiqing was startled.

"What about my three companions?"

"They've already gone out."

"Of the six people on the other side, four died."

"The other side?" Xiao Weiqing realized Grace was referring to the other mountain of the Yin-Yang Twin Peaks Mountain. "Senior Grace, is the Extreme Yin Divine Fire still there?"

Seeing Xiao Weiqing's eager expression, Grace felt both annoyed and amused. "You really are insatiably greedy."

"Look at what you're saying. Aren't we allies now? Anyway, the Extreme Yin Divine Fire is just sitting there; why not just give it to me?"

"It has already been taken by someone else; you have no chance."

"Taken by someone? People from the Aona Family?"

"Yes."

"Alright then."

Xiao Weiqing felt it was a bit of a pity, but being able to obtain the Great Sun Brahma Flame and upgrade his talent made the trip worthwhile.

"By the way, Senior Grace."

"I have a question I'd like to ask."

"Go ahead."

"I have a friend who inherited a portion of the Extreme Yin Fire years ago. Now she suffers greatly from the Extreme Yin. Is there any way to resolve this?"

"Is it that girl from seventy years ago?"

"Uh... no, it's her descendant."

Grace nodded and said, "A Super Grade Divine Soul or a Super Grade Divine Body can solve it."

"Is there anything else?"

Xiao Weiqing asked. If Palace Master Yun Shu had a Super Grade Divine Soul or a Super Grade Divine Body, why would she even ask?

"Can a First-Grade Divine Body solve it?"

Grace shook his head. "A First-Grade Divine Body can suppress it, but it cannot completely resolve it. The more it's suppressed, the more uncontrollable it will be when it eventually erupts."

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Weiqing asked.

"Is the person you're talking about male or female?"

"A woman."

"Then that's easy. You just need to engage in Dual Cultivation with her."

"Dual Cultivation?"

Xiao Weiqing was dumbfounded.

Grace explained, "The two divine fires of the Yin-Yang Twin Peaks Mountain: the Extreme Yang Divine Fire is called the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame. It is the pinnacle of Yang Qi, pure Yang and extremely rigid, and can augment the Physical Body."

"The Extreme Yin Divine Fire is called the Eerie Cold Spirit-Devouring Flame. It is the pinnacle of Yin Qi, pure Yin and extremely soft, and can temper the Divine Soul."

"However, if the Physical Body or Divine Soul is inherently weak, it will only have the opposite effect."

"The woman you mentioned should fall into this category."

"So she needs to Dual Cultivate with you. Your Divine Body's strength has already reached the Super Grade; you can completely help her through Yin-Yang complementarity."

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Besides Dual Cultivation, is there any other way?"

Grace said, "There are, many in fact, but your strength is insufficient; you definitely won't be able to do them."

Xiao Weiqing was in a bind.

The Great Sage said from the side, "Without Yang, Yin cannot be born; without Yin, Yang cannot be stable. The fusion of Yin and Yang is a good thing in itself. It can further strengthen your Physical Body and help your Divine Soul grow. Why not do it?"

"Of course, because your friend only obtained a portion of the divine fire, you can also use your Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame to forcibly suppress it. Once her Divine Soul becomes strong enough, all problems will naturally be resolved. However, the risk is not small. You decide for yourself."

"I understand."

The Great Sage said, "Do you have any other questions?"

"If not, I'll have Grace send you out."

"Wait, Great Sage, I have one more question I'd like to ask."

The Great Sage wasn't impatient. "Go ahead."

"It's about how I can enter the Ninth Realm and the Star Lord Realm."

The Great Sage thought for a few seconds and replied, "The Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage of the Incubation Ground are slightly different from those of the cosmic civilizations."

"If I remember correctly, the Fourth Stage should be Unity—the perfect fit between the Divine Soul and the Divine Body. Both are indispensable."

"The Fifth Stage Star Lord requires obtaining the recognition of the Incubation Ground's Origin. Otherwise, not only will you be unable to Breakthrough, but you will also be suppressed. Even if you enter the Star Lord Realm by other means, you will be expelled by the Incubation Ground's Origin."

"The specifics you'll have to figure out for yourself. I cannot help you."

"I understand. Thank you, Great Sage," Xiao Weiqing thanked him sincerely. At least he knew the general direction now and wasn't completely in the dark.

"Well then, we shall part ways here. I hope you're still alive the next time I see you."

Xiao Weiqing: "..."

"Great Sage, until we meet again. I also hope to see you still alive next time."

The Great Sage: "..."

"Interesting..."

The Great Sage's voice echoed in the main hall, but his figure vanished.

"Let's go. I'll take you to get the Nirvana Warriors and then send you out."

"Alright."

Grace led the way, and Xiao Weiqing followed closely behind.

After some twists and turns.

The two arrived at a side hall.

Entering the gate.

Xiao Weiqing was completely dumbfounded by the dazzling array of treasures.

Weapons, battle armor, Medicinal Pills, Heaven And Earth Treasures—everything was there. Xiao Weiqing even saw mountains of third-grade nirvana stones in the corner, and second-grade nirvana stones were not few either.

"From the looks of it, the Kuhn Civilization is much stronger than the Wanyuan Civilization," Xiao Weiqing judged silently in his heart.

Deep inside the side hall, Grace stopped in front of a shelf with strange characters written on it.

He reached out and took nine black jade plaques and one golden jade plaque.

"Take these. When using them, communicate with your Divine Soul and crush them."

Afterwards.

Grace went to another shelf and reached out to take 30 first-grade nirvana stones.

Xiao Weiqing counted silently.

"2, 4, 8, 32..."

"A total of 12 rows, which is 384 portions."

Xiao Weiqing swallowed his saliva and forcibly looked away. He was truly afraid he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to snatch them.

"These are for you."

"Stop looking. Some things aren't necessarily good to have if your strength is insufficient."

"Kid, Cultivate well and keep a low profile. As long as you Breakthrough to Star Lord, all the things you're worried about will be easily resolved."

"Senior Grace thinks so highly of me?"

"In a way. You are the most talented person to enter the ruins in all these years."

"Of course, I trust the Great Sage's vision more," Grace added.

Xiao Weiqing nodded and didn't say much else.

"Let's go, I'll send you out."
