Chapter 269: Chapter 258: Star Map Level, One Star, Success!!

「Inside the bathroom.」

Mengde, having just returned, let the water stream down over his head.

He had wanted to drag Jiayi and the rest of "Bikang’s Four Beauties" into the shower with him.

’What’s the fun in showering alone?’

’With women around, it would be a waste not to share a steamy bath, right?’

But as it turned out, all four women flat-out rejected him!

The other women did the same, shutting the door in his face... and refusing to let him in no matter what!!!!

Apparently, they had some "little secrets" to discuss amongst themselves.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for a man like him to overhear.

But Mengde’s reaction was: ’I’ve already studied every inch of you women’s bodies, okay?’

’"Little secrets"?’

’Hmph! Like I give a damn!’

That was why Mengde had come to shower alone.

Of course, if Jiayi and the others knew what was going through Mengde’s mind, they would have certainly retorted.

"It’s not that we don’t want to, but with you around... the shower just gets hotter and hotter."

Hehe... And why would it get hotter?

If you know, you know...

Jiayi and the others really had... no faith in his self-control...

If he got worked up, all four of them would be trapped...

But then again, without any women around, Mengde had the perfect opportunity to check his system rewards.

’The reward for that Celestial Fairy Sister, Yuyan, from last night must be pretty generous.’

"Tongzi, open the system rewards for the Goddess, Wang Yuyan!"

A mechanical voice chimed, and a large gift pack materialized before him.

Upon opening it, Mengde saw three rewards waiting for him:

[Reward 1: Host’s Superpower Level increased by one. You will break through from Tier Nine to Star Map Level, One Star!]

[Reward 2: Host is awarded a Wind Superpower—SSS-Level Wind Dominator!]

[Note: Three sub-Superpowers affiliated with "SSS-Level Wind Dominator" have been sent to your system inventory. Please inspect them carefully!]

[Reward 3: Host is awarded a Cultivation Technique—the Dragon and Phoenix Reunion Technique!]

[Note: The "Dragon and Phoenix Reunion Technique" is a Supreme Cultivation Technique that can significantly accelerate the rate of Superpower Level progression. Please experience its specific wonders for yourself!]

Holy crap!

These rewards were incredibly generous!

Mengde was getting hyped just looking at them.

First was the Superpower Level increase!

Mengde had already reached the Tier Nine Peak!

He had long since reached the limit of that Superpower Level.

He hadn’t expected to break through just by conquering the Goddess, Yuyan.

"Breaking through from Tier Nine to Star Map Level, One Star?"

Mengde murmured to himself.

’So, after Tier Nine comes the Star Map Level Superpower User?’

This was a completely new Superpower Level.

According to the system, Star Map Level Superpower Users were divided into Nine Stars.

One Star was just the beginning; Nine Stars was the Peak!

"Let’s see what’s so special about this Star Map Level!"

Mengde tapped the orb of light for the breakthrough, and in the next instant, he closed his eyes.

His consciousness instantly sank back into his sea of consciousness.

At the center of his sea of consciousness, a Crystal Core the size of an ostrich egg was bobbing up and down.

It emitted a dazzling, brilliant light!

This was the Superpower Crystal Core he possessed as a Tier Nine Superpower User.

It was the very source of his power as a Superpower User!

He remembered that back when he was a Tier One Superpower User, it was only the size of a grain of rice.

Utterly unremarkable!

But as his Superpower Level rose, it had grown to its current size.

"Heh... good thing I know I’m a Superpower User, or I’d think I’d grown a massive tumor."

Mengde chuckled self-deprecatingly and followed his body’s instincts.

He began to slowly break down the ostrich-egg-sized Tier Nine Superpower Crystal Core.

That’s right!

You read that correctly!

The Tier Nine Superpower Crystal Core had disintegrated!

His entire sea of consciousness was instantly plunged into an inky blackness.

???

’What the hell?’

’You son of a bitch, are you trying to devour my Superpower Crystal Core?’

Just as that doubt surfaced in his mind, he saw a star suddenly ignite in the darkness.

Like a single point of light in the void, it instantly illuminated his entire sea of consciousness.

Though small, it was exceptionally bright!

Then, more and more stars began to light up.

Two stars...

Three stars...

Four stars...

........

Each brilliant star was like a dazzling jewel set against a black velvet curtain.

They emitted a mysterious and captivating radiance.

Every star did its utmost to release its own light!

It was like an inverted, mirrored lake, where countless starlights shattered into the glow of a thousand fireflies among the ripples.

In just a short while, Mengde’s sea of consciousness had transformed into a star-filled cosmos, glittering with brilliant light!

It was dreamlike, illusory, and utterly intoxicating!

A universe of starlight, beautiful beyond description!

Immersed within it, he seemed so insignificant.

He looked up, and a celestial tapestry where light, shadow, and spacetime intertwined was laid bare before his eyes!

Mengde was filled with awe, utterly shaken!

He now understood completely.

This celestial tapestry had been formed from his disintegrated Superpower Crystal Core.

Every speck of starlight was the light of his own Superpower Crystal Core!

’First, disintegration, then rebirth!’

’So this is what it means to be a Star Map Level Superpower User!’

As Mengde marveled at this, he also noticed nine exceptionally bright stars at the center of the celestial tapestry within his sea of consciousness!

They stood in stark contrast to the surrounding stars.

Furthermore, one of them was already lit!

As this star ignited, Mengde immediately felt something inside his body.

A warm current began to slowly course through him, meandering through his meridians.

It seemed to possess a life of its own, carrying an indescribable vitality.

At first, it flowed slowly, like a meandering stream with no force to speak of.

Yet it gently nourished every inch of flesh and skin it passed through!

He quietly experienced it all, his heart a mixture of pleasant surprise and nervousness.

He could clearly sense that as the warm current flowed, his body was undergoing subtle changes.

Every cell in his body seemed to awaken, greedily absorbing this warm power and radiating new life.

It was incredibly comfortable!

So comfortable... that he subconsciously let out a soft moan.

"Ahhh~"

—So shameless~

But he couldn’t be blamed; it just felt too good!

It was several times more blissful than reaching a climax.

Just when Mengde thought the comfortable sensation would continue, the warm current suddenly began to accelerate.

It was no longer a gently flowing stream but had converged into a rushing river.

The power within the current grew stronger and stronger.

It battered his meridians and skin, making him frown slightly.

At the same time, however, a powerful sense of fulfillment washed over him, as if his body were being infused with limitless power.

It circulated endlessly through his body, constantly scouring his entire frame.

Mengde felt as if his body were enveloped in a layer of warm light.

The light grew increasingly dazzling until his entire being shone with brilliance.

If Jiayi and the others were here, they would surely be astonished.

"Honey, why did you suddenly start glowing?"

And under the impetus of this terrifying power, Mengde’s Superpower Level began to slowly rise...

The first star that had been lit in the cosmos grew ever more brilliant...

Half an hour later, Mengde slowly opened his eyes, which now gleamed with a confident light.

"Star Map Level, One Star, complete!!!"
