Tan Xiu indifferently watched as Kitagawa was killed by Tang An. Had the latter not taken action, he would've probably done it himself. He could tell from Kitagawa's performance that this guy was definitely an untamed wolf cub who would definitely devour his Master one day.
Yuji's maids watched Kitagawa being brutally killed and Yujou Kun being slashed into two halves by a sword light just as he fled tens of meters away. They shuddered and knelt before Kuwako and called out, "Master!"
"You don't need to call me Master," said Kuwako indifferently. "I'm not your Master. As long as you work well under me in the future and make great contributions, I can recommend you to join the sect and become official disciples. At that time, your status may not be worse than your original Master, Yuji. "
The maids fell into silence.
Not worse than Yuji?
Could this be an opportunity? An opportunity for me to make a comeback and become the master?
Tang Xiu glanced at the silent Yuji and immediately drew more than 20 circles with a diameter of one meter on the square. Then, he slowly said, "Everyone, sit cross-legged in the circle I drew and begin to circulate your cultivation art according to your cultivation technique. Remember, this is your fortune, and it's up to you how many benefits you can get. However, you need to remember one more thing. If you find that the energy in your body is too much and you can't hold it anymore, immediately stop cultivating and leave this square. "
"Understood!"
Everyone didn't know what fortune Tan Xiu was talking about, but they knew that it should be beneficial to them.
"Activate the array!"
Tang Xiu stood on the cement platform, which was the core of the entire array. Under his control, the array was activated. As it operated, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy from all directions instantly rushed toward the more than 20 people sitting cross-legged on the square. A huge spiritual force drilled out from the ground and poured into everyone's body on the square.
"What?!"
"What's going on?!"
"Heavens! Such a huge spiritual force?! "
"Am I dreaming? Spiritual force flooding my body? "
"…"
Whether it was Mo Awu's group or the dozen or so young women in white dresses, all of them opened their eyes at this moment, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Tan Xiu frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "Restrain your mind and get rid of all distracting thoughts. All of you, hurry up and refine the spiritual energy that entered your bodies. "
Instantly.
As if awakened from a dream, more than twenty people began to cultivate.
Standing on the concrete platform, Tang Xiu could feel two streams of spiritual force pouring into his body from the soles of his feet. A huge amount of spiritual force from the Earth Vein was drawn to his Dantian and then injected into the empty space of the universe.
Time flew by.
The first planet grew larger and larger, and the second planet also began to expand. Even the third planet began to glow, showing signs of enlarging.
Meanwhile.
In the distant universe, there was a vast starfield with countless living beings. Countless planets trembled slightly. Colorful lights exploded from the planets, making the universe look like a fairytale world.
"Who is it?"
"What happened?"
"Which expert is disrupting the order of this world?"
"…"
In that area of the Star Field, powerful experts with great Divine Powers sprang out from the planets one after another. They hovered in the universe, and their divine senses spread out like a tide in all directions.
However.
They could feel the life force of the planet fading away, but they couldn't determine what was happening, nor could they find any target.
In the sky.
The clouds dispersed, and in the blue sky, an energy column emitting golden luster directly fell on top of Tan Xiu's head. The huge amount of star force almost materialized, causing the entire array to be filled with a large amount of star force. Mo Awu and the others were absorbing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and refining the spiritual energy of the Earth Veins. But the surging star force around them was also directly absorbed into their bodies.
Their bodies began to transform. It was a qualitative transformation.
Star force.
It was the largest energy in the universe and also the energy of extremely high quality. Compared to star force, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was countless times inferior. After absorbing the star force, the True Essence and Buddhist Force in their bodies were faintly plated with a layer of golden light.
One day later.
The cultivation of more than a dozen young women in white skirts skyrocketed and each of them was comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert. But they could no longer bear the huge spiritual energy of the Earth Veins, so they stopped cultivating and quickly hid outside the square.
Two days later.
Mo Awu, Tang Guang, and the others got up one after another. They couldn't bear the infusion of spiritual energy of the Earth Veins and quickly left the square to stabilize the realm they had just broken through.
On the square.
Only Tan Xiu, Tang An, and Gong Wan 'er, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation, were left.
Mo Awu's eyes flashed with disbelief as he looked at Tang An and Gong Wan 'er. A sense of frustration rose in his heart. Although he had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his heart was as clear as a mirror. The longer he stayed in the square, the more spiritual energy of the Earth Veins he absorbed, and the greater his breakthrough would be.
Tang An became a cultivator more than a decade earlier than him, so she stayed in the square longer than him. But Gong Wan 'er's strength wasn't very strong. She was at most comparable to a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. But how could she continue to stay in the square and endure the huge spiritual power pouring into her body?
"I found something interesting."
Tang Guang suddenly spoke.
Mo Awu turned his head and looked at his handsome face. He frowned and asked, "What interesting thing?"
"I found that only by following Grand Master can I get a steady stream of benefits," said Tang Guang seriously. "Whether it's the opportunity to render meritorious deeds or the speed of cultivation advancement, it's all thanks to Grand Master. For example, this time, Grand Master used a heaven-defying means to make us break through together. I'm now at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. If it wasn't for my state of mind and physique being unable to keep up, I'm afraid I could've directly broken through to the late-stage of Nascent Soul. "
"You're not at the early-stage of Nascent Soul?" exclaimed Mo Awu. "You're at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul?"
"That's right," answered Tang Guang with a smile.
Mo Awu turned to look at Xue Sha, Hei Xiong, and the others and asked, "What about you guys? What realm are you at now? "
"Early-stage of Foundation Establishment."
Both of them looked at Tang Guang with envy and replied at the same time.
Mo Awu's heart calmed down and he sighed. "It seems that you stepped into the path of cultivation more than a decade earlier than us. Tang An is still going on. I wonder if she'll break through to the Nascent Soul Stage when she comes out of the square. "
The smile on Tang Guang's face froze. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. "I can't compare with her when it comes to cultivation. There's also a big gap between me and her when it comes to cultivation talent. I'll feel a bit shameful if she breaks through to the late-stage of Nascent Soul, but I'll also be happy for her. "
"I think it's natural for Elder Tang An to receive spiritual energy in the square for a longer period of time," said Kuwako slowly. "But how could Gong Wan 'er hold on for so long? Given her strength, she should've left the square earlier than us! "
"There's something wrong with her," said Tang Guang. "I can probably guess why Grand Master subdued her."
"Ki Kitagawa once said that Gong Wan 'er has a special physique," said Kuwako. "Tang An disobeyed Sect Master's order and saved her from the battlefield. I believe she must have her own purpose."
Half a day later.
Tang An woke up from her cultivation and looked at Tan Xiu with admiration in her eyes. However, she was startled when she saw Gong Wan 'er sitting cross-legged a dozen meters away. Her figure then disappeared and reappeared at the edge of the square.
"What's going on with Gong Wan 'er?"
Asked Tang An the moment she came out.
Tang Guang shrugged and shook his head. "Who knows? She's been cultivating inside for almost three days, but she hasn't come out. "
A strange expression appeared on Tang An's face. She pondered and then said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I was punished by Grand Master a few days ago?"
"Because you saved Gong Wan 'er," said Tang Guang directly.
"Then do you know why I disobeyed Grand Master's order and risked my life to save her?" asked Tang An again.
"Why?" asked Tang Guang with a confused look.
The others also looked curious and looked at Tang An, waiting for her answer.
"Grand Master's cultivation is progressing very fast and he's much stronger than us," said Tang An. "But he needs to be stronger if we want to go to that place earlier. Gong Wan 'er's physique is very different from that of ordinary cultivators. The Joyous Palace Master, Dragon Vanquisher Sage, trained her to be a female cauldron in order to devour the power inside her body in the future and make it his own, so that his strength can skyrocket. I'm thinking if Grand Master can possess Gong Wan 'er's body, wouldn't it be better for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds? "
In a flash.
Everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces. They all knew about Gong Wan 'er's physique. If Tan Xiu could really obtain great benefits from her body, it would be greatly beneficial for both Tan Xiu and the Tang Sect.
"Grand Master didn't agree?"
Asked Tang Guang slowly.
"He didn't agree and even reprimanded me." Tang An nodded. "I'll report it to Master myself when we return to Nine Dragons Island. Let's see what she has to say."
"No!"
Tang Guang's complexion changed and his eyes instantly turned sharp.
"I know what you and Master are thinking," said Tang An stubbornly. "But Gong Wan 'er is of great benefit to Grand Master. I think Master will have the same thoughts as me when faced with such a choice."
Tang Guang was silent for a moment and still shook his head. "I may not stop you if it's someone else, An. But you must never tell this to Master. What if … "
"I'm willing to be punished again for the sake of making Grand Master stronger," said Tang An in a deep voice. "Even if the punishment is 10,000 times heavier than the previous one, I'm willing to do it."
"Don't you like …" interjected Tang Guang hurriedly.
"SHUT UP!"
Tang An angrily shouted and her figure immediately disappeared.
