Chapter 1054 - 459:

The voice was calm, but it seemed to carry an irresistible pressure, and Red Swan instinctively acted according to that thought without thinking.

The ability within her that was about to burst her apart before was now transforming at an astounding speed into her own cultivation! The "Holy Blood Secret Scripture," which had just broken through to the Fifth Layer, continued to break through as if there were no bottlenecks!

Sixth Layer, Seventh Layer... Red Swan’s mind could no longer think. She just instinctively operated the "Holy Blood Secret Scripture" over and over.

In the end, she couldn’t even control her own body, fully handing over control to the guidance of the spiritual power within her.

It was Chu Xiu who discovered that this girl knew nothing about cultivation’s later stages, so he casually scanned a copy of the "Holy Blood Secret Scripture" from within the city with his divine sense and finished digesting it in a matter of seconds, directly taking over her cultivation.

This cultivation process lasted for a full two hours. By the time all the catalytic liquid had been consumed, and the pipes on her body had fallen off, Red Swan’s body slipped powerlessly to the ground, and her cultivation had reached... the Tenth Layer!

This was still the result of Chu Xiu not wanting to push too hard, otherwise, with Blue Boy igniting the Holy Blood, breaking through to beyond the Fifteenth Layer would have been easy.

The main energy was still used to purify this girl’s bloodline.

Chu Xiu didn’t know what rating Red Swan’s bloodline now deserved, but it was certainly above A-level. The A-level Holy Blooders stored in the most luxurious catalytic chamber could not compare with Red Swan’s current holy blood intensity.

Chu Xiu guessed that the golden light emitted by Blue Boy might not have been the ordinary catalysis it used to do, but instead had separated some more fundamental essence...

"So easy to hand over good things; it seems children really are the easiest to deceive... just treat it a little better, and it’ll give everything to you," Chu Xiu chuckled and shook his head.

It’s suitable to slightly strengthen Blue Boy’s thought education. After all, this thing isn’t a ghost or corpse refinement, and Chu Xiu never intended to treat Blue Boy with a tool’s inert attitude.

With a point of his finger, two spheres of spiritual power enveloped Red Swan, whose consciousness had scattered under the energy impact, and Blue Boy, who had fallen into deep sleep from over-exhaustion after emitting the golden light.

Taking these two with him, Chu Xiu flew out, and once he left the catalytic chamber, he immediately spotted a smiling man in the distance.

"Honored guest, have you finished handling your matters?"

This person was the one who had locked eyes with Chu Xiu at the tower top earlier. He looked young, with tender, pale skin, and a smile on his face that naturally made others feel good.

But Chu Xiu felt a hint of danger from him. This person was very strong, though likely not Chu Xiu’s match, but at least he couldn’t be treated like mere cannon fodder.

After all, who knows what unique abilities the Molten Steel Civilization might have? Even someone as powerful as Lilith was overturned by Zhang Zhengdao!

"Allow me to introduce myself; I am Karsen, one of the four administrators here. The captain is currently in seclusion and cannot personally receive you, so I beg for your understanding," the man’s voice rang out again.

Chu Xiu looked him over perfunctorily. This guy had been waiting outside the entire time but maintained a very appropriate distance; Chu Xiu hadn’t even felt any spying.

He happened not to want to expose Red Swan’s now high-purity bloodline, so he wrapped her up in spiritual power the moment he was done.

From this perspective, he seemed to have no malice.

But...

"I didn’t expect your tolerance for intruders to be so high," Chu Xiu said calmly.

Karsen replied with a smile, "If you were colleagues from other ships, you would already have been surrounded by the captain’s personal guard. But since you are an outsider, it’s different."

"Moreover, judging by the way you infiltrated, we can sense that you don’t intend to be hostile towards us."

This statement did surprise Chu Xiu a bit. "You figured out that I’m not from your civilization?"

His magical combat form changes endlessly; he even disguised himself with Molten Steel People’s features before.
