367: How to break through the third realm

Su Xiaobai's pupils sharply contracted. After a long silence, he finally spoke with difficulty, "You are the 'Master' they speak of."

"That's right."

"...Can you tell me what exactly happened to the Ancient Heavenly Court? And how can I break through to the Third Realm?" Su Xiaobai asked in a deep voice.

The White-Haired Witch nodded slightly, "Since you've managed to come here, you should have some understanding. The Ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed by the Demon Race."

"They are a race from beyond the myriad heavens, originating from other Universes, and are extremely aggressive. Wherever they pass, every single planet will be devoured by them."

"Other planets around our Hunyuan Realm have already been devoured, becoming their settlements. We are the only survivors in this demonic sea," the White-Haired Witch said with a serious expression.

Su Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The feeling was like a pack of hungry wolves entering a sheepfold, having already eaten all the other lambs, and now only their Hunyuan Realm remained.

"As for your other question, how to advance to the Third Realm?"

"The answer to this question might be despair for others, but for you, it's within reach."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Su Xiaobai's face showed confusion. He didn't feel he was that special.

"No rush, let me finish speaking first." The White-Haired Witch sat down in the gaming chair, crossed her legs, and took a sip of milk tea.

She didn't immediately answer his question but instead began to explain why ordinary people couldn't advance to the Third Realm.

"When the Demon Race invaded, although I was prepared, the opposing side had two Immortal King-level Demon Emperors. I was ultimately outnumbered and could only strategically retreat."

"But among those two Demon Emperors, one possessed the talent to steal plane Laws. While I was held back by the other Demon Emperor, he took the opportunity to steal nearly half of the Hunyuan Realm's core Laws."

This is also why, after the Ancient Gods and Demons War, you all couldn't break through to the Third Realm. Even the number of those who reached the Second Realm was extremely small."

The White-Haired Witch wore a deeply grieved expression, then took another sip of milk tea.

"...Is there really no other way?" Su Xiaobai's brows were tightly furrowed, still unwilling to give up.

"Of course, there's still a method."

"What is it?" Su Xiaobai's face lit up with joy.

"The power of Luck." The Witch spun around in the gaming chair and said leisurely, "This is currently the only way to break through to the Third Realm in the Hunyuan Realm."

"Of course, excluding the two Dao seeds I left behind."

An uncontrollable look of excitement appeared on Su Xiaobai's face.

Whether it was Your Majesty or him, both were inheritors of the power of Luck.

This meant that given enough time, they would both eventually be able to break through to the Third Realm!

And the Dao seeds she mentioned, Su Xiaobai knew, were Senior Sister and Ling Xiao.

They were saviors born in response to the calamity in the Hunyuan Realm and could not be regarded as ordinary people; they would not encounter a Bottleneck.

Seeing Su Xiaobai's "it's settled" expression, the Witch shook her head.

"You're not ready yet. The power of Luck within you is not enough."

"Both you and that girl inherited the Luck of the nation. Unless you can obtain the Luck of the entire Great Zhou, the power of Luck within your bodies will simply not be enough for you to break through to the Third Realm."

"So, my suggestion is to find an opportunity to devour the power of Luck within that girl, then monopolize the Luck. I can help you." The Witch's face showed a serious and sinister expression.

"No!" Su Xiaobai flatly refused. "Your Majesty has shown me great kindness. How could I devour her for my own selfish desires?! Absolutely not!"

The Witch's pretty brows furrowed tightly, showing displeasure. "Indecisive, timid. How did I used to teach you? If a man is not for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him!"

"When did you ever teach me?" Su Xiaobai's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Even the Witch herself had never said that to him. It was his Master, who taught him the way of survival in his previous life, who had said that phrase.

But his Master was a big, burly man with hairy legs, how could he possibly be linked to this Heavenly Dao in front of him?

After all, having just interacted with her, this Heavenly Dao's personality was still closer to a female, mimicking the Witch perfectly.

If he hadn't been tricked multiple times before, he would even suspect if the Witch had also Transmigrated.

"I..." The Witch hesitated, then quickly changed the subject. "Ahem! Fine, since you don't want to devour her, then we can only settle for the second-best option: sleep with her."

"Huh?"

"Sleep with her." The Witch's face was serious. "Inheritors of Luck cannot devour each other; they can only fuse."

"Both methods have their pros and cons. Devouring leads to faster strength growth and can reach a higher Peak in a short time."

"Fusion, in theory, can create two Third Realm experts, but the process is too slow, requiring both parties to harmonize Yin and Yang day and night."

"This..." Su Xiaobai's face was reserved. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Your Majesty has, after all, shown me great kindness."

"Then choose to devour!" The Witch said impatiently.

"I choose the second option." Su Xiaobai said decisively.

"..."

"Heh, men." A hint of disdain appeared in the Witch's eyes. Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, a ball of light surged into Su Xiaobai's mind.

Information surged into Su Xiaobai's mind, detailing the specific methods of fusion and devouring for Luck inheritors.

"Actually, I'd prefer you choose to devour," the Witch said.

"Why? Are you in a hurry?"

"..." A vein subtly throbbed on the Witch's forehead.

Thump!

She jumped up and smacked Su Xiaobai's head with a knuckle!

"Hiss~!" Su Xiaobai bared his teeth, holding his head. So painful!

What's with this familiar pain?

"You ungrateful wretch! You're in here flirting while I'm out there resisting the entire Demon Race invasion, working myself to death every day!"

"If no one comes to help me soon, I'm going to die!" the Witch cursed loudly.

"Alright, alright, I understand." Su Xiaobai rubbed his aching head.

"Hmph! I have more complaints than just that." The Witch angrily took a large gulp of milk tea.

"The two Dao seeds I left behind, one you tricked into becoming your wife, and the other you deceived into becoming your subordinate. Don't you think you owe me an explanation for this?" She angrily slapped the table.

Su Xiaobai realized she was talking about Senior Sister and Ling Xiao, and his face immediately showed a guilty expression.

"This... I conquered them with my own noble personal charisma!" he said, without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

"Heh..." The Witch gave him an 'I know you too well' look.

"Back to the main topic, there's a serious matter why I pulled you in here."

The Witch's expression became serious. She extended her fair, slender hand, and suspended in her palm was a source crystal reflecting the colors of the Milky Way.

"This is..." Su Xiaobai's steps couldn't help but draw closer, his heart rate suddenly quickening.

For some reason, he felt a wondrous summons from that source crystal, and his body produced an unprecedentedly strong sense of craving.

This feeling even surpassed the Heaven-Grade Source Crystal he possessed!

"This is a Chaos source crystal. It is a peerless item even rarer than the Heaven-Grade Source Crystal in your hand.

Heaven-Grade Source Crystals come from the remains of Peak Third Realm experts, but Chaos source crystals directly originated from me. And even I could only analyze this single piece," the Witch explained.

Su Xiaobai swallowed, staring Stupid at the Chaos source crystal in her hand, his gaze even more fervent than if he saw Senior Sister standing naked before him.
