[Chapter 1119-1120]

>Chapter 1119: The Dumb Bird Flies First<

//~~~//~~~//~~~[]~~~\\~~~\\~~~\\

Lu Ze and the girls continued to look for prey.

With the increase in Power, the range they could search in widened as well. It allowed them to find more Beasts.

...

In a few hours, they annihilated several Cosmic Cloud State Beasts. Among these creatures, a Level-3 Cosmic Cloud State was the strongest.

They had to avoid the much stronger ones.

...

Ten hours later, they stumbled upon an oasis.

Lu Ze said, "Let's go in."

Not even a minute had passed, but they heard sounds of shooting and felt the rising of a Powerful Chi. The trees swayed, and Dark Green Vines came flying out.

Most of these Vines were Peak Cosmic System States. Only one or two were Level-1 Cosmic Cloud States.

Qiuyue Hesha used her [Seduction God Art], and all the Vines stopped in their tracks. Following such, they Self-destructed.

Lu Ze said, "This was much easier than before."

The group continued to press forward.

There were a lot of Powerful Beasts inhabiting the forest. There were even Beasts above Level-5 Cosmic Cloud State. However, with Lin Ling around, they could easily avoid them.

Soon, they reached the border of the forest.

Outside of it was a vast sea of flowers. There was a Golden Light glowing in the center.

They looked up, only to see the enormous Golden Crystal Tree.

Lu Ze remarked, "It's the [Golden Dew]."

"Should we go and get it?" Lu Li asked.

Lin Ling said, "There are two Chis belonging to Level-5 Cosmic Cloud States and over 30 Chis of Level-4 Cosmic Cloud States."

Lu Ze raised a brow. "Let's try it. We have enough [Red Liquid] now, but our [Golden Dew] is almost depleted."

They broke through in half a month before due to using a lot of [Golden Dew]. In a day or two at most, they won't have enough supply.

They got enough [Red Liquid], so they didn't need more of that.

Even if they died this time, getting the [Golden Dew] was worth it.

The girls nodded.

Lu Ze said, "Alice, make some [Fire Clones] to cause some chaos. Following the ruckus, we'll go over. If they find us, Hesha, use your [Seduction God Art] and [Petrification Divine Art] to interfere. We'll get as many as we can."

Alice took out the black statue, and her [Blue Flames] formed [Fire Clones]. Soon, 30 Powerful [Fire Clones] appeared in front of them.

Alice breathed heavily. "This number of Clones is my limit."

Lu Ze said, "That's enough."

The [Fire Clones] lunged forward.

A few minutes later, numerous Powerful Chi erupted.

…

As all sorts of furious roars erupted, strange-looking Beasts charged out of the sea of flowers.

Two of them had three tails.

A green wind was circling their bodies. These two Beasts were over 50 meters tall and resembled a Giant Feline. They were Level-5 Cosmic Cloud States.

Lu Ze shouted, "Now!"

He flashed with Silver Light and took the girls away.

The entire group soon emerged in the center where the tree was.

"Quick, gather the [Dew]!"

They immediately searched for the blooming flowers.

One, two, three… five!

Nangong Jing complained, "So few."

Only five were blooming. However, they quickly went over and snatched the [Golden Dew].

The distant Beasts seemed to have noticed something, and all looked over furiously. Simultaneously, all sorts of Spirit Force surged and pressed towards Lu Ze and the girls.

As soon as they took the [Golden Dew], the weight of various Powers overwhelmed their senses. They couldn't move at all.

Most of the flowers weren't strong. They failed to reach the Cosmic Cloud State. Nevertheless, there were millions of them. This pressure was rather terrifying.

Moreover, there were stronger Beasts in the distance.

"Roar!!!"

The countless Spirit Force Attacks, which were directed at them, buried Lu Ze and the girls.

…

The group woke up back in the Dao Enlightenment Room.

The numerous Spirit Forces pulverized their bodies. They huddled together.

After a while, the pain subsided, and they began to relax.

Nangong Jing said, "I was about to die from the excruciating pain."

Lu Ze laughed it off. "Well, there is a brighter side. Look, we got the [Golden Dew] with our own power."

The girls smiled. Indeed, they only managed to collect them through the Overlord battles before.

Qiuyue Hesha said, "Little Brother Lu Ze is right. Who knows if there would be more Overlord battles? Since we can get the [Golden Dew] with our own power, we don't have to worry about it running out."

"That way, our cultivation speed can increase once again."

Nangong Jing sighed. "However, the cultivation difficulty is getting higher now. Even with the [Golden Dew], I would need more than twenty days to break through."

Moments later, Lu Ze said, "It's fine. The dumb bird flies first. We can just be diligent in cultivation."

…

The next morning, they finished cultivating.

Alice and the rest of the girls reconstructed the nearby rooms into kitchens and started cooking breakfast again.

Lu Ze, Nangong Jing, and Qiuyue Hesha went to Planet Jinyao to feed Ying Ying.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the four Elders conducting classes.

Luo Bingqing and his companions were sitting on the ground while listening.

Seeing Lu Ze and the girls arrive, Xuan Yuji waved. "Ze, Jing Jing, Hesha, why are you guys here?"

Nangong Jing answered, "To visit Ying Ying."

Elder Nangong said, "You're all here? Go in."

\\~~~\\~~~\\~~~[]~~~//~~~//~~~//

>Chapter 1120: Using Source Spirit Fruit<

//~~~//~~~//~~~[]~~~\\~~~\\~~~\\

After they finished feeding Ying Ying, Lu Ze and the girls exited the room.

The Elders were still teaching Luo Bingqing and the others about cultivation.

Elder Nangong said, "Alright, let's take a break."

Daphne greeted, "Hello, Cosmic Cloud State Bosses, let me hug your thighs."

In the next second, she attempted to grab Nangong Jing's leg.

Nangong Jing rolled her eyes and pushed her head back. "Piss off! Don't even think about touching my leg!"

Daphne looked at Lu Ze. "I know~ Only a certain someone can touch it~"

Nangong Jing: "…"

Lu Ze: "…"

Qiuyue Hesha: "…"

Nangong Jing playfully punched Daphne, and she squatted on the ground.

Luo Bingqing and the rest pretended they didn't see anything.

Lin Kuang said, "By the way, Ze, did the elders tell you about it? The prodigy selection contest."

Lu Ze looked at Lin Kuang strangely.

Lin Kuang's mouth twitched. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Ze laughed. "When you guys were still knocked out, the Elders informed me."

"…"

They were already Star States, but they were still knocked out from drinking.

This was embarrassing!

Lu Ze said, "I've told Predecessor Liu Zhiyun about this. The Shenwu Army would choose some participants. As for the rest, you can go and tell the Border Defense Force and the academy prodigies."

"After the seeds are selected, we'll start the competition. At the finals, we'll go there to be the judges."

Xuan Yuji said, "You won't judge the first few battles?"

Lu Ze smiled. "We have so many people here. We can just take turns. At the finals, everyone can have their chance to be the judge."

Luo Bingqing and the others seemed interested. To be honest, they didn't really want to do this. They didn't even have enough time to cultivate!

Lu Ze and the girls broke through to the Cosmic Cloud State. This made them more motivated. They desired to cultivate non-stop.

However, since the Elders handed this task to them, they still had to do it.

However, if everyone took turns to be the judge, the situation didn't seem bad… At least, they didn't have to do it every day.

Luo Bingqing smiled. "This is a good idea, Ze."

"In that case, let's divide the task."

Lu Ze and the girls looked at each other.

Lu Ze smiled. "We'll attend the finals. You guys can plan the distribution. We won't steal the show."

Before they could react, Lu Ze took Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha away in a blur with a flash of Silver Light.

"???"

Lin Kuang said, "These guys just pushed everything to us, right?"

"Aren't they too cunning?"

'Which of them wanted to steal the spotlight?'

They were speechless.

The Elders shook their heads. All of them were lazy.

…

Lu Ze returned to the Cultivation Building.

Breakfast was ready.

After eating, they continued to cultivate.

Their [Divine Art] had all reached Perfect Mastery. It would take a long time to get a new [Divine Art] since they couldn't beat the new set of Super Beasts.

Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha broke through the earliest. They were the closest to Level-2 Cosmic Cloud State.

...

A week later, they broke through to Level-2 Cosmic Cloud State.

Ten days later, Lu Ze also broke through.

Lin Ling, Lu Li, and Alice were on the verge.

As they were cultivating, the prodigy selection competition started.

After hearing that the top 100 could study with Lu Ze and the girls at the Elf Cosmic Realm, countless prodigies signed up.

The Milky Way Galaxy was vast. There were a lot of prodigies.

In addition, they accepted prodigies from Aperture Opening State to Star State. This was to give everyone hope, causing everyone to go crazy.

The selection began from all the military regions, famous schools, and Solar Systems. After rounds and rounds of elimination, it would finally reach the finals.

This took quite a bit of time.

The finals might occur at least a month later.

…

At night, Lu Ze and the girls woke up in the Dao Enlightenment Room simultaneously. They were trembling.

After the pain was gone, Lu Ze rejoiced. "We actually got 20 [Drops of Blue Dew]."

This was their most bountiful harvest for a while.

Lu Ze said, "With these [Blue Dew], we can soon finish learning all the remaining [God Art Orbs]."

"Mhm."

They split the goods and went off to their own cultivation.

Lu Ze closed his eyes and took out a [Blue Dew] and [Purple Liquid], as well as a [Blue Crystal]. Immediately, his learning ability improved dramatically.

All sorts of [God Art Secrets] flashed in his head.

Without hesitation, Lu Ze used a [Fire God Art Orb] and started learning. In just half an hour, he had completely Mastered the Knowledge inside.

He then took out another [Earth God Art Orb]…

...

After five hours, Lu Ze had learned 10 [God Art Orbs].

Lu Ze felt that his [God Art] seemed to be at the border of something. This border was very obscure, but he could feel it nonetheless.

If he crossed this border, his [God Art] would perhaps enter a new world.

'What was it?'

Lu Ze frowned. He had such a feeling, but it felt surreal.

Even with his learning capability, he couldn't learn it. He scratched his head and just kept learning. He would definitely be able to grasp this feeling eventually.

Just when Lu Ze was about to use the 11th one, he suddenly saw that small item in his Mental Force Dimension. It was a [Planet-like Spirit Fruit] that was Glowing Blue.

After using the [Source Spirit Fruit], he would be able to sense the Source Chi of the Universe.

His efficiency in the learning of [God Arts], [Divine Arts], and Universal Laws would improve countless times.

Lu Ze hesitated.

He was planning to use this after he gathered all the [Divine Art Runes] of the sand map and learned them all in one go.

But now, Lu Ze had a different idea. He had a feeling that if he could cross that border, his [God Art] would become completely different.

He didn't know exactly what would be different, but it would definitely be a huge change!

Should he use it?

Yes!
