Inside the tree hollow, Jiang Huai and the others were still cultivating.
Brother Guang had exhausted all his efforts at the ant nest, sending almost all the Constant Star Crystals he could collect to them. This allowed Jiang Huai and others to maintain a fast cultivation speed.
Li Changying opened her eyes and exhaled deeply, “Phew! I did it, the fifth level, I finally completed the fifth level of Dantian Qi compression!” Jiang Huai smiled and patted Li Changying on the shoulder, “Congratulations!
Even though you were one day slower than me.”
“Humph! The road to cultivation has no end, the mere difference of one day means nothing. I will surpass you next time.” Li Changying was unconvinced.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting. But let’s see about those two. They should also have made their breakthroughs by now.”
At this time, Lou Qingfeng also opened his eyes, “I am not as crazy as you two. I have completed the third level compression, but it will take me a few more days to complete the fourth level. I am grateful for the Constant Star Crystals that Brother Guang sends us every day.”
“Not bad, you’ll reach the fourth level in a few days, and we won’t be much ahead of you. I wonder how Xiao Man is doing.”
As they were speaking, Zhao Xiaoman walked out of the tree hollow, “I compressed to the fourth level, a few days faster than Lou Qingfeng. This guy used to be way behind me, but now he’s catching up.”
“That’s quite normal. After all, Lou Qingfeng is a Spiritual Mind Master, so it’s understandable that his speed is a bit faster.”
Jiang Huai said, then leaned his body against the tree hollow, “Although our cultivating days go by fast, I still worry about Lin Zhen. He has been gone for three months and there’s still no news from him, and we have no idea where he’s gone. I hope there isn’t any accident.”
Li Changying shook her head, “There won’t be any accidents. There are no insects in the Star Fruit Tree that can hurt Lin Zhen. Even if we went out now, there would hardly be any danger if we don’t encounter enemies or deliberately enter large groups of insects.”
Zhao Xiaoman nodded continuously, “Brother Lin will be fine! He might be back soon, he would not abandon us.”
Listening to their words, Lou Qingfeng hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s been quite noisy outside these days. I have vaguely heard some people talking, and it seems that matters at Sky Dome are coming to an end.” They all looked at Lou Qingfeng, knowing that he had more to say.
“I think the Four Gods of Sky Dome might be leaving soon.” Lou Qingfeng revealed his judgment.
They all slightly pondered and nodded their heads. They all knew the purpose of the Four Gods of Sky Dome coming here, and it was indeed time for them to leave soon.
Seeing Lou Qingfeng’s worried expression, Zhao Xiaoman said, “Brother Lou, what are you worried about? Isn’t it good that they leave so that we can go out?”
“I’m not worried about that. What I am worried about is…”
Before Lou Qingfeng could finish, they all suddenly looked more serious.
There were footsteps heard from outside; someone was coming.
With a bitter smile, Lou Qingfeng said, “This is what I was worried about. It seems that we are still a hidden danger. Someone wants to deal with us.”
Sky Dome, located at the upper level of the Star Fruit Tree, close to the treetops.
It was a vast open space, and since it was close to the treetops, the difference between here and the outside world was not very significant.
In the morning, the sunrise could be seen, and at night, a sky full of stars was visible.
People here could even see the moon and enjoy the breeze and rain, which was something that martial artists in other places could not experience.
With the nourishment of sunlight and rain, and the fact that it was closer to the outside world, a large number of Star Crystals grew here.
In the areas abundant with Star Crystals, flowers swayed, and all kinds of Star Crystals, from the Star Core period to the Constant Star Stage, were everywhere.
Of course, the ones from the Constant Star Stage were the rarest, and most of them were low-level Star Crystals.
Star Crystals here were distributed by a system; every single Star Crystal was allocated to someone according to the decisions made by the higher-ups in the place. Therefore, there were no disputes in the Sky Dome.
Although leaving was not forbidden, few martial artists were willing to leave the Sky Dome and go to other places. The cultivation speed was fast, the environment was beautiful, so why would they venture outside to fight insects and compete with other martial artists?
At the center of the Sky Dome, there was a house made entirely of wood, more accurately, a palace.
The palace had been built for many years, and every ruler of Sky Dome would renovate it, maintaining its grandeur for hundreds of years.
All the martial artists of Sky Dome lived in this palace complex, making them even more reluctant to leave for other places.
The main hall of the palace was where every ruler resided. Now Little Overlord Yue Feng, who was said to have a prominent background from Capital Base City, lived there.
Behind the main hall, there was another beautiful palace. It was once the residence of a ruler’s wife, whose location and environment was even better and more beautiful than the main hall.
People call this place the Sky Dome Harem.
Upon entering the harem, there is a winding river flowing through the trees. The river’s flowing water is formed by the gathering of morning dew. Every morning, the water level rises once and then drops slightly at night.
Above the river is an exquisitely carved wooden bridge. Walking across the bridge, a path covered in evergreen ivy leads to the entrance of the harem.
No martial artist dares to come here casually. This place is forbidden, and only the Overlord and the people living here have the right to enter.
Passing the flower path, there is a wooden door filled with elements of the Common Era’s style. Pushing open the door, there is a beautiful square table, a comfortable rocking chair, an exquisitely carved large bed made of wood from fruit trees, and even a curtain hanging down.
Here, the scent is refreshing and pleasing, and it is obvious that the owner is a beautiful woman.
From the big bed, faint whispers can be heard.
“Ming Yue, how is your progress?” The woman’s voice was very magnetic, deep and melodious.
“Sister, I’m fine. I’ve reached the Late Stage Peak of Level 8, but I think
compressing to Level 9 is my limit.”
From Su Mingyue’s long-lost voice, a breeze blew over the bed’s curtains. She was dressed in white, sitting on the bed with her knees hugged, her long hair like a waterfall, and her eyebrows and eyes cast down.
“Master did not see the wrong person back then. You are a gifted genius. Even my sister’s aptitude is considered quite good, but at most, I can only reach Level 8. And I am over eight years older than you. You are only twenty-one years old, and you’ve already surpassed your sister. I’ll need a few more days to reach Level 8.”
“Sister, are you really leaving? I don’t want you to go.”
“There is no choice. If I don’t leave, the road of martial arts will end for me. Moreover, you don’t need to worry. Isn’t Yue Feng still here? Actually, he treats you quite well. Almost all of the Constant Star Crystals here are given to you first, or else you wouldn’t have reached the late Stage 8 compression from Level Nine Martial Generals in just two and a half years. You’ve even about to be promoted to Level 9 soon. This speed is even faster than mine.”
Su Mingyue lowered her head and didn’t speak.
Across from her, a woman dressed in brocade was quietly comforting her. This woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties, but in reality, she was already twenty-nine, and soon she would be thirty years old. This was her sister, Ye Lanshan.
Su Mingyue looked up at Ye Lanshan: “Sister, I really don’t care. My absorption of Star Crystals is so that I can have the ability to get rid of him as soon as possible. ”
“Ming Yue, are you still thinking of Lin Zhen?”
Su Mingyue did not answer, her pretty red lips stubbornly tightened into a line.
“You’ve been here all this time and don’t know what’s happening outside. Do you know how Lin Zhen is doing now?”
Su Mingyue looked up at Ye Lanshan but did not speak.
“If you don’t want to know, I won’t say anything. Anyway, I’m leaving in a few days.” Ye Lanshan said indifferently.
“1…1 want to know…” Su Mingyue whispered with her head down.
“Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t not want to know. But let me tell you first, don’t be too disappointed after hearing this.”
“Sister, just say it.” Su Mingyue looked up.
“I received news here that Lin Zhen left the hive three months ago and has been missing for three whole months without any trace.”
Upon hearing this news, Su Mingyue’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Could it be that
Lin Zhen has left the Star Fruit Tree?”
“No, there’s no news of anyone leaving the platform. Lin Zhen is still in the fruit tree but no one knows where he went.”
Su Mingyue blinked, not sure what she was thinking.
“Ming Yue, are you still hoping that he will come to save you? However, I advise you to give up. Do you know what strength Lin Zhen has now?”
Su Mingyue shook her head to indicate that she didn’t know, but she felt that Lin Zhen must be very strong. When she and he last separated, his combat power was almost surpassing her own. He must be very strong now.
“Three months ago, Lin Zhen was just a martial artist who hadn’t even completed compressing the first level in his Dantian. How much stronger do you think he could be after three months?”
“Impossible, Lin Zhen can’t be that weak.” Su Mingyue said decisively.
“You may not believe it, but do you think everyone has the same outstanding conditions as you? You can freely absorb Star Crystals from Sky Dome, while Lin Zhen has to fight with others outside. Moreover, he has teammates and also needs to distribute Star Crystals! He didn’t even compress a single bit of Dantian Gas during his two years in the Ant Nest, and only began compressing it when he arrived in the hive. Moreover, now that he has left the hive, there’s no place with more Star Crystals inside the Star Fruit Tree, so I guess he has given up.”
Although Ye Lanshan’s words were reasonable, Su Mingyue still shook her
head firmly: “Sister, you don’t understand Lin Zhen. He is a person with extraordinary willpower, who never knows how to give up. He even taught me this lesson.”
“Silly girl, people do change. The cruelty outside is enough to destroy one’s will.” Ye Lanshan tried her best to persuade her.
Su Mingyue stood up and slowly walked to the window. A light breeze blew her long hair and her eyebrows were picturesque when she looked back. Over two years, she has become even more stunningly beautiful. She opened her mouth and spoke with an unwavering tone: “Even if heaven and earth collapse, Lin
Zhen will never change. I believe in him more than I believe in my own faith..”
