Chapter 1031 - 450_2

"Damn it, why is this thing so heavy?" Old Sun grumbled as they struggled to move Chu Xiu just two or three meters, panting heavily.

"Looks like we’ll have to use the floating robots. Hopefully, those scumbags from the hunting group won’t notice..." said Old Li.

"Let’s go to the girl’s place. Her home is a bit secluded, but there are fewer people around. Our place is too chaotic, not suitable."

In the midst of their conversation, Chu Xiu felt something grip his limbs, and then a force lifted him upwards. It was likely the floating robots they mentioned.

"Hmm... what kind of world have I come to?" Chu Xiu wondered.

According to Chu Xiu’s initial estimate, he should have fallen directly into the empty cosmos.

After all, the cosmos is vast and boundless, and the odds of randomly falling from an abyss space and landing near a life planet should be negligible.

"Did I manage to catch an anchor point and successfully reach the destination?"

"But that doesn’t make sense either; the four worlds where I left anchor points don’t match the current situation..."

Suddenly, Chu Xiu remembered something: he seemed to have five anchor points when choosing targets...

But the situation was too urgent at that time, he didn’t have the extra thought to spare, so he couldn’t tell if it was an illusion or something else.

He thought about it for a while but couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to dwell on it. Maybe it was a one-in-a-billion coincidence?

He turned his attention to his current situation.

"They can’t even move my petrified body, indicating that the power level here should be low, at least in this junkyard."

"But even the junk dealers have floating robots, so the overall technological level of this world should be high, at least much higher than Blue Star."

"Nevertheless, there shouldn’t be any immediate threat to my power."

With this thought, Chu Xiu let Bai Yu and the others handle his body.

What’s urgent is dealing with the Star Core, which is a big problem.

Once he regained control of his body, even without using his divine thought to explore, Chu Xiu gained a better understanding of the Star Core in his Dantian.

First, this thing has returned to a nebula state; its volume and density are far beyond what they were before.

The bad news is Chu Xiu has to regather it, but the good news is that if he eventually forms the pill, the energy of this Star Pill will make another leap.

Moreover, after carefully sensing it for a while, Chu Xiu suddenly felt joy inside.

"Perhaps being struck by the King of Bronze and cracking the Star Core isn’t entirely a bad thing!"

Because he discovered a mysterious connection with the nebula, allowing him to sense the nebula’s state even without splitting his thought.

He seems able to subtly influence the nebula’s operation using this faint connection!

Chu Xiu instantly understood; this must be the transformation after the Star Core devoured all his energy!

Just like with blood magic, which deepens connection with an artifact, Chu Xiu’s "consciousness" is embedded throughout his body. The Star Core devoured his energy, naturally impacting it.

"So can I now continue feeding my energy into the nebula until fully mastering it!"

With this thought, Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate and silently operated the Infinite Reincarnation Technique.

Soon, he discovered, to his delight, that things were going smoother than he expected!

As soon as the Infinite Reincarnation Technique generates mana,, it is absorbed by the Star Core, and Chu Xiu can feel even this absorbed mana assimilating other forces!

This made Chu Xiu overjoyed!

Actually, he didn’t realize he was having an extraordinary opportunity!

The birth of a Star Core is something even the most talented cultivators, positive and demonic big shots with oceans of cultivation, couldn’t achieve.

But, due to datafication, Chu Xiu intercepted halfway, possessing an Awakening Space created by Abyssal Power!

Awakening Space, not belonging to any realm in the current world, has an extremely special nature, serving as the Star Core’s center, providing a gravity source that big shots couldn’t simulate, to form stars.

This solved the Star Core’s biggest problem.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiu’s view was limited.

This is the greatest weakness of the Awakened; they can use cause and effect points to quickly enhance divine techniques, raise realms, but their insight and understanding of cultivation fall far behind their power!

It’s unavoidable; time accumulated power can’t be easily crossed with cause and effect points.

Therefore, at that time, Chu Xiu made a naive choice under the pressure of battling Ashtar: he chose to cultivate the Star Nebula Core Formation.

The final result was a Star Core that appeared to be unrelated to him, yet absorbed his internal power!

Once the Star Core takes shape, influencing its interior becomes nearly impossible. His previous attempts with slow efforts had a chance, but the needed cause and effect points were astronomical!

However, the King of Bronze’s strike scattered the Star Core back into a nebula state, offering Chu Xiu an opportunity to reform into a Star Pill again!

This event was also a rare coincidence, as external force wouldn’t naturally revert a Star Core into a nebula state. But the King of Bronze happened to inject its divine power.

Still, even with this collision of two powerful forces, it wouldn’t result in fusion. This was why the King of Bronze was so confident in withdrawing.

But before this, Chu Xiu’s Awakening Space had just devoured an Abyssal Creature!

Chu Xiu wasn’t aware that devouring an Abyssal Creature didn’t just add three new functions to the Awakening Space but expanded its size, allowing it to accommodate more energy. In short, it provided greater "gravity."

Hence, under the influence of multiple factors, Chu Xiu unbelievably returned the Star Core to a nebula state, creating a nebula far stronger than before!

Currently, the energy within the nebula has reached an incredible level. If Chu Xiu forms the pill, his Golden Core would be the best in the Immortal Cultivation Realm over eons...

With just this Golden Core, he would possess the energy level of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator...

Moreover, as the foundation of a cultivator, such a phenomenal Golden Core would make forming the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation much easier for Chu Xiu.

Although Chu Xiu wasn’t clear about the many coincidences behind, he understood his lacking insight is an issue. Cultivation isn’t something that can be achieved by piling cause and effect points alone.

Fortunately, cause and effect points aren’t solely for brute force enhancement. They can be used for many things...

"I won’t rush to cultivate; instead, I’ll study various books to deepen my understanding of cultivation."

"Then, I’ll use cause and effect points, based on the Infinite Reincarnation Technique, to create a unique method suitable for my current situation for Core Formation!"

With this resolved, he ignored external trivialities, immersing his mind completely in the Inheritance Hall, studying various books.

The Inheritance Hall stems from his soul, allowing his full divine thought to operate, unaffected by the nebula’s pull.

As Chu Xiu focused on researching techniques, Bai Yu and the others dragged him back to their place.

It was an underground cave hidden beneath the garbage heap, with an entrance barely more than one square meter. Bai Yu would cover the entrance with lots of garbage when leaving, making it hard to detect.

Bai Yu opened the entrance, and the three dragged Chu Xiu inside. Bai Yu then turned at the entrance: "Uncles, you can leave now; I can handle the rest alone."

The moment Bai Yu spoke, Sun Shisan looked shocked: "Are you kicking us out?"

Li Mao laughed: "Old Sun, your girl’s quick change of face is just like yours!"

Bai Yu’s face flushed with embarrassment: "It’s not like that; it’s just my place... is a bit messy, not very convenient."

"Oh..." Sun Shisan responded, feeling slightly relieved, "That’s true, the girl is growing up, should have her privacy."

Li Mao chuckled: "Indeed, at fourteen, it wouldn’t be surprising if she hid a man at home."

Bai Yu blushed even more, while Sun Shisan glared at Li Mao.

"
