Indeed, Ao Ye possessed the real [Void Fox Mei Body], an uncommon physique for cultivation.

Ordinary people might not recognize this attribute, but any well-grounded Cultivator would undoubtedly identify it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have caught the attention of those from Yuxu Palace.

Moreover, Lv Zhong possessed a miraculous Cultivation Technique named [Yin-Yang Harmony Path].

This was a top-grade technique for dual cultivation of life forces.

Lv Zhong planned to focus on this method, naturally wanting to find partners with exceptional attributes to dual cultivate.

And Ao Ye, endowed with a [Void Fox Mei Body], was an ideal choice.

Listening to Lv Zhong’s affirmation, joy filled Ao Ye’s stunning face.

In the tender moment, she couldn’t help but wrap her arm around Lv Zhong’s, leaning by his side, quietly watching the clouds flash by beneath them.

…

Back in Star City, Lv Zhong first dropped off Ao Ye at Sanxiang Clubhouse.

After collecting the materials that the Clubhouse had gathered for him in the Plague Pearl, he left Sanxiang Clubhouse.

There was no immediate rush to teach Ao Ye cultivation.

Rushing back to his own apartment, Lv Zhong called Ao Ye and Yan Yan, then slipped into the Plague Pearl, commencing a new round of Cultivation.

Although Lv Zhong was a powerful figure at the Golden Core Realm, with an incomparably strong soul, he still felt insufficient in strength.

This time, Lv Zhong directly slew Yuxu Palace’s Golden Core Peak Realm’s Yu Qingzhi.

This was indeed a catastrophic blow to Yuxu Palace.

Even if Yuxu Palace was a powerful and wealthy Sect, they had only two powerhouses beyond the Golden Core Peak Realm.

One was Yu Qingzhi, the other was the old monster He Qiu, who was attempting the Tribulation Crossing to the Aperture Stage.

Lv Zhong had slain three Golden Core powerhouses, including Yu Qingzhi.

For both personal and public reasons, He Qiu would never let Lv Zhong off the hook.

Lv Zhong had directly harmed the interests of Yuxu Palace and had immensely lost face for them.

The moment He Qiu stepped out, he would undoubtedly seek to settle accounts with Lv Zhong!

If He Qiu still remained at the Nascent Soul Peak Realm after his emergence, even if Lv Zhong couldn’t beat him, escaping wouldn’t be a difficult task.

But if He Qiu successfully entered the Nascent Soul Stage, then the Insect Clan Army under Lv Zhong might not be able to hinder He Qiu, let alone injure him.

If Lv Zhong were to face He Qiu at this stage, he would have to escape into the Plague Pearl or hide in the Nine Heavens Star Slaughter Array in Yan City’s Anle Peak, like a cowering turtle.

Otherwise, He Qiu would be able to slay Lv Zhong in an instant.

Under the pressure from He Qiu, Lv Zhong was forced to enhance his strength.

Sitting cross-legged next to the eye of [Seven Treasure Divine Water] spring, Lv Zhong was holding a golden core in his right hand and a relic in his left, and began dual cultivation with divided attention.

One part of his mind focused on cultivating the [Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique] of the Vast World, absorbing and purifying the immense Buddhist spiritual energy inside the relic.

The other part focused on cultivating the Marital Bliss Divine Art.

As for the primary cultivation method [Yin-Yang Harmony Path], Lv Zhong planned to cultivate it only when he physically engage with Zheng Linglong, Ao Ye, or Yan Yan.

This would maximize results, making the cultivation process swift and effective.

After cultivating in the Plague Pearl for a month, Lv Zhong completely drained the energy within the relic, causing another significant leap in his soul energy.

Despite this, his [Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique] within the Vast World remained at the fifth level.

However, his current soul energy could indeed be compared to cultivators at the Peak Nascent Soul Stage.

His soul energy was even purer than those of the said cultivators.

Consequently, the strength of Lv Zhong’s Spiritual Sense further increased.

Strictly speaking on terms of Spiritual Sense, he could be now considered on par with cultivators at the Peak Nascent Soul Stage.

Of course, Lv Zhong’s Marital Bliss Divine Art was also significantly powerful.

After absorbing the energy from a cultivator’s Golden Core, his internal True Essence multiplied several times, elevating him to the Golden Core Middle Stage in one fell swoop.

Moreover, after gaining energy from his Insect Clan Army, his physical attributes further improved.

He absorbed a certain amount of Geng Metal Energy from the [Golden Beetle Insects], fortified his flesh; From the Wood Essence Worm, he absorbed massive Wood energies, moistening his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, invigorating his body’s vitality; From the [Three Corpse Brain Insects], he gradually enhanced his marrow and improved his Spirit Root aptitude…

It can be said that Marital Bliss Divine Art enhanced every aspect of Lv Zhong’s body bit by bit.

However, as every aspect was improved, it led to a comprehensive enhancement.

Consequently, Lv Zhong’s overall physical attributes began to improve significantly.

Disengaging from his cultivation and observing his progress, Lv Zhong was exceedingly satisfied.

However, thinking about his magical treasures, Lv Zhong became a bit depressed.

Lv Zhong currently owned a rich collection of magical treasures.

Including some top-grade treasures like the Plague Pearl, Five Blessings Stone, 6th Grade Golden Lotus, and Sun True Fire Tower.

However, these awesome treasures were Immortal Artifacts or above.

With Lv Zhong’s current strength, he could not fully utilize these treasures, and using them consumed enormous energy.

Given Lv Zhong’s current level and strength, the weapons and magical treasures best suited for his combat were not these high-grade goods.

He needed magical treasures that matched his level and soul cultivation.

Because only such magical treasures could allow Lv Zhong to unleash his full strength.

As for the Plague God Pearl, Five Blessings Stone, 6th Grade Golden Lotus, Sun True Fire Tower, it’s best to keep them as his lifesaving trump cards at present, and they should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, it will not be conducive to his own growth.

Thinking of this, Lv Zhong chuckled to himself, “It seems time to refine suitable weapons and magical treasures for myself!”

As soon as he thought of it, he acted on it!

Lv Zhong flashed towards the area inside the [Plague Pearl] where various ores were stored.

After thinking about it, he chose nearly a hundred top-grade materials including Taiyi Pure Gold, Gravity Star Jade, Tyrant King Steel, and Wind Spirit Crystal.

Finally, he also took out two pieces of [Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao Jade].

Although Lv Zhong’s strength had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, it would be time-consuming and consume a great deal of his energy to use his true essence to form a real fire to melt these materials.

Although he had intended to work out his true essence with artifact refinement, what Lv Zhong lacked most right now was time, and he didn’t want to waste time like this.

Of course, the [Golden Beetle Insects] under Lv Zhong’s command also possessed the ability to swallow metal, melt metal, and even remodel metal.

However, these Golden Beetle Insects had not yet fully grown.

To melt top-grade materials would also take a long time.

“The Golden Beetle Insects can’t be utilized for now, let them devour various metals first to grow rapidly.

To melt these metals, looks like I’ll have to use the [Sun True Fire Tower]…”

Although the energy consumption of the Sun True Fire Tower had reached over 95%, the temperature at its core was still extremely high.

It even harbored a few strands of Sun True Fire.

Letting it melt these ores and materials, nothing could be better!

After pondering for a moment, Lv Zhong firmly activated the [Sun True Fire Tower].

Carrying the various materials he was going to use, Lv Zhong’s figure flashed and he entered the [Sun True Fire Tower], coming to the bottommost layer of the tower!

The temperature here is surprisingly high, almost reaching tens of thousands of degrees.

At the center where the Sun True Fire is located, the temperature is even higher beyond imagination, likely surpassing 100,000 degrees!

If Lv Zhong had not successfully refined this [Sun True Fire Tower], with his Golden Core Middle Stage, he could at most hold on in here for one or two minutes before being melted into vapor.

It was precisely because he had completely refined the [Sun True Fire Tower] that Lv Zhong himself was automatically protected by the [Sun True Fire Tower].

Hence, the extremely high temperature here didn’t pose the slightest threat to Lv Zhong.

In the direct center of the tower’s base, five strands of pale purple flames the size of a grown man’s little finger were burning silently.

They glowed and burned without oxygen, maintaining this state of burning seemed to have lasted for tens of millions of years.

Around the five strands of Sun True Fire, there were more than a dozen purple-blue stones the size of a matchbox.

These stones were the core essence and foundation of the [Sun True Fire Tower].

They were the cores of a constant star.

They were the biggest energy supply items for the [Sun True Fire Tower].

However, these constant star cores were now almost transitioning from purple to blue, indicating that their energy has almost been exhausted.

If there are no new constant star cores to supplement it, these five strands of [Sun True Fire] will likely naturally extinguish within a thousand years.

Once these five strands of Sun True Fire also extinguished, then the [Sun True Fire Tower] would collapse completely.

Lv Zhong was not worried that the [Sun True Fire Tower] would collapse completely.

He believed that as long as he successfully went through the Tribulation Crossing, allowing celestial aura to be produced in his body, he would be confident enough to gather constant star cores in the universe.

Allowing the [Sun True Fire Tower] to recover all its strength.

Having received the memory of the ancient plague god and the [Yin-Yang Harmony Path] passed down by the Taoist Ancestor, Lv Zhong was confident that he could successfully cross the Tribulation within a thousand years, achieving the Mahayana Period…

“Although melting these metals will also cause the Sun True Fire to consume some amount of energy, it probably won’t consume more than 30% of the Sun True Fire’s energy, right?” Slightly muttering to himself, Lv Zhong used the [Sun True Fire] to roast and melt various top-grade materials like Taiyi Pure Gold, Gravity Star Jade, Tyrant King Steel, and Wind Spirit Crystal one by one.

Because the [Sun True Fire Tower] has completely recognized its master, Lv Zhong could effortlessly control these five strands of Sun True Fire.

With the help of these five strands of Sun True Fire, Lv Zhong, in a very short time, melted and purified these materials one by one.

Then, Lv Zhong sprayed out powerful true essence from both hands, controlling the high-temperature molten iron to take shape.

Immediately after, the molten metal divided into two major parts, beginning to take shape in an orderly manner.

One was a domineering broadsword, made mainly of Wind Spirit Crystal, Tyrant King Steel, Gravity Star Jade, and Taiyi Pure Gold.

As a result, the weight of this sword was bound to be astonishing.

Moreover, the integration of the Wind Spirit Crystal material would allow Lv Zhong to arrange a wind array in this magical treasure, so the attack speed of this sword was definitely not slow.

The second was a set of combined magical treasures.

Under Lv Zhong’s full concentration and control, they formed nine hundred and ninety-nine weird long needles.

The largest mother needle was almost the same size as Lv Zhong’s previous spiritual weapon [Horizontal River Qi Stick].

The remaining child needles were of the same size, all the size of a toothpick.
