The Lord of the Universe
Ch.375 - Immortal Lord
After getting the suggestion from Xiang Shin, Xiao-Xiao became calmer. He set his breath for a moment and then darted closer to the eighth star.
Xiao-Xiao immediately got a rejection from the will of the stars but she kept moving closer.
Xiao-Xiao gave no resistance, even she did not use her Qi energy to coat her body. His body seemed to give off a calming aura.
The more Xiao-Xiao approached, the stronger the rejection of the will of the stars became. However by the time it reached a certain distance, Xiao-Xiao could feel the rejection of the star's will begin to decline.
Xiao-Xiao became enthusiastic and accelerated her flight. It did not make the star reject him again, precisely the rejection he felt was decreasing.
Until finally Xiao-Xiao could feel the star as if calling out to her, there was absolutely no more rejection.
Xiao-Xiao smiled then moved faster and faster until she could finally reach the star.
“Thank you for receiving me,” Xiao-Xiao muttered softly then sat down cross-legged, starting the star absorption process.
“Good, Xiao-Xiao has succeeded,” Xiang Shin smiles satisfied, “now it's my turn.”
Xiang Shin shot towards one of the stars. He did not get any rejection at all, just the will of the star received it and he could directly reach the star.
Without wasting any time, Xiang Shin meditated, beginning to absorb the star.
The cultivation of Xiang Shin and Xiao-Xiao began. As time passed, the size of the stars they absorbed grew smaller.
8 months later, Xiang Shin finally finished absorbing the first star.
“It is still not enough to break through yes,” Xiang Shin muttered softly, “yah, besides the size of the star was smaller than Zen Star.”
Xiang Shin turned to where Xiao-Xiao was. The little girl was still not finished absorbing her star. Because this is the first time it has absorbed a star so it is only natural that it will take a long time.
Xiang Shin also switched to absorbing other stars. He again spent 8 months absorbing the star and unfortunately his cultivation has still not experienced a breakthrough.
“5 more stars, should it be enough to make me break through.”
Xiang Shin had already absorbed 5 stars so far. If he absorbed 5 more stars then he would spend 10 stars to break through to the Immortal Lord level.
***
Xiao-Xiao spent 2 more years being able to absorb stars completely. He had finally managed to break through to the Immortal Lord level.
His breakthrough cultivation made a powerful energy wave around him. If Xiao-Xiao were on a planet then that planet would definitely be destroyed due to the wave of breakthrough energy of her cultivation.
“Hahaha! I finally broke through!” Xiao-Xiao laughed loudly with pride.
“Hmph!” Xiao-Xiao just snorted then took out a teleportation token.
Xiao-Xiao immediately teleported back to Planet Xiang without saying goodbye first to Xiang Shin.
***
Xiang Shin spent nearly 5 years absorbing 7 stars. But the time he spent was comparable to what he got.
Xiang Shin had finally managed to break through to the early stage Immortal Lord level. He could feel all his strength rising as well as he also gained many new understandings which were very useful.
“Ah..is this Immortal Lord? I feel as if I was reborn.” Xiang Shin felt a new power in his body.
Xiang Shin's gaze was fixed on the remaining 5 stars.
“What should I do against these 5 stars yes,” Xiang Shin wondered while stroking his chin.
While thinking, Xiang Shin found the right way to utilize the five stars.
“I will unite these five stars, condense them then make them as the World Core Planet Xiang.”
With the new understanding that Xiang Shin had gained after breaking through, he was confident that he could do so, even more so with his current cultivation level.
Xiang Shin performed a hand seal, as soon as the array of magic formation symbols began to circle the five stars. The five stars shifted to 5 different points forming a pentagon.
After everything was enough, Xiang Shin fused his palms together and all the energy from the star was centered at one point in the middle.
One week Xiang Shin spent uniting the five stars that now form a star with a size 10 times larger.
“Now stay compress it!” Xiang Shin once again performed a hand seal.
Silmbols and lines of magic formation arrays enveloped the star then the star began to solidify.
Compacting a star is harder than uniting it. If just compacting it will not be difficult, but Xiang Shin must force the star to solidify until it can be smaller than the planet.
Xiang Shin spent up to 1 full month to land until he wanted to.
“Finally done,” Xiang Shin gazed complacently at the star in front of him, “stars as the Core of the World. The natural energy in Planet Xiang will definitely be abundant and I no longer need to use Xuan as the energy source of the Cultivation Tower.”
Xiang Shin stored the star into a storage furnace.
