Sis, are you giving up on acting altogether? The system has been upgraded again!

Inside a quiet room of the Qingxuan Sect.

At the exact moment Lin Xiyue and the others achieved consecutive Breakthroughs.

Lin Mo's body shook, and a surge of immense energy suddenly appeared within him!

"It's here!!"

Lin Mo's expression tightened. He showed no surprise regarding the vast energy that had spontaneously surged within him.

Because not long ago, he had keenly sensed that the strength of the cultivation feedback from the System was suddenly increasing at a strange rate.

That feeling was like a small stream, originally a gentle trickle, suddenly transforming into a rushing river.

Therefore, he didn't need to guess to know that Great Xia must have made some earth-shattering move again.

In fact, it was highly likely that the two Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation Formation Plates refined by Gu Zhiyun had been successfully put into use!

Precisely because of this, he was not in a hurry to set off for the Yanyang Holy Land,

but instead chose to remain in the quiet room, adjusting his state and waiting patiently.

He was very curious about what kind of height the current explosion of power from Great Xia could push him to!

*Rumble!*

The extremely pure energy was like a flood bursting through a dam,

wildly surging through his broad Meridians, producing bursts of thunderous sound.

He didn't need to bother refining this energy; the moment it appeared,

it perfectly integrated into his entire body, finally converging within the brilliant Golden Core inside his Dantian.

The Golden Core, which was originally only the size of a Dragon's eye, immediately began to spin and expand at a visible rate after receiving this massive influx of energy!

Golden Core Third Stage Peak!

*Buzz—!*

It was as if an invisible membrane had been easily pierced.

Golden Core Fourth Stage!

But this was only the beginning.

The torrent of energy showed no sign of depletion; instead, it grew even more turbulent.

Golden Core Fifth Stage... Golden Core Sixth Stage... The Qi around Lin Mo continuously rose, and the pleasure of growing stronger made all the pores on his body open up.

Golden Core Seventh Stage!

Golden Core Eighth Stage!

His cultivation stabilized precisely at the Golden Core Eighth Stage Peak, just one step away from the Golden Core Ninth Stage,

and only then did the violent rate of increase finally slow down, eventually returning to tranquility.

Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of golden light, seemingly solid, shot out from his gaze, illuminating the dim quiet room.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within his body—power that was dozens of times stronger than before—and a smile was about to curl up at the corner of his mouth.

However, before he could laugh out loud, the continuous System notifications ringing in his mind instantly froze the expression on his face.

[Ding! Detected that Agent Lin Xiyue successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!]

[Ding! Due to the Agent achieving a Breakthrough in a major Realm, System functionality has been enhanced!]

[Item Teleportation Function mechanism changed!]

[Original Cooldown Restriction has been removed!]

[Henceforth, the Host will automatically receive two Item Teleportation opportunities every three days (Cangxuan Great Realm time)!]

[Furthermore, these opportunities can be accumulated indefinitely, with no upper limit!]

[Current available Item Teleportation opportunities: 3 (including the one opportunity remaining previously)]

This series of notifications left Lin Mo's head reeling.

It took him a good while to finally react.

"What the hell?!"

"Golden Core Realm?!"

"Holy crap!!"

"Younger Sister!! Are you finally not even pretending anymore?!"

Lin Mo abruptly leaped up from the cushion, his eyes wide, unable to stop himself from swearing.

It wasn't surprising that Lin Mo lost his composure like this.

Although quite a few days might have passed in Great Xia,

in Lin Mo's perceived time, it had only been about one or two days since he last contacted Lin Xiyue and learned that the girl had achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm.

At most, only one or two days had actually passed!

One or two days!

Not one or two months!

Yet, this girl had directly skyrocketed from barely entering the Spirit Sea Realm to the Golden Core Realm?

This speed had already caught up to him, the Host who possessed a cheat!

"That's outrageous!!"

"And this is still on Blue Star, where Spiritual Qi is scarce..."

"If she were placed in the Cangxuan Great Realm, I truly wouldn't dare to imagine!"

"Wouldn't it be possible for her to Ascend right where she stands?!"

"How exactly does this girl Cultivate?"

"Does she really not have the concept of a Bottleneck?"

"Or is it... that the effect of the Myriad Origins Return to One Great Formation is so ridiculously good that it just forcibly inflated her cultivation?"

Lin Mo's heart was filled with shock and confusion.

Although he knew his Younger Sister was an Overpowered Proxy and couldn't be judged by common sense.

But the speed of this proxy leveling was a little too terrifying.

He even suspected Lin Xiyue was cheating!

He just had no proof.

After all, if this trend continued, maybe the next time he contacted her, the girl would already be at the Nascent Soul or even Soul Transformation Realm?

And he could just lie down and reach Soul Transformation too?

Is this what it feels like to be promoted because of your Younger Sister?

I have to say... it's truly... so satisfying!

"No, I have to ask clearly!"

Lin Mo couldn't suppress his curiosity. He immediately calmed his mind, preparing to communicate with the System and contact Lin Xiyue,

to see what earth-shattering event had occurred in Great Xia to allow her cultivation to advance so rapidly.

However, the moment he tried to establish a connection,

a cold, mechanical voice unexpectedly sounded.

[Ding... Because the Agent achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, satisfying the upgrade conditions, the System is undergoing upgrade maintenance.]

[Communication with the Agent is temporarily unavailable during the upgrade period.]

[Please wait!]

"Huh?!"

"It's upgrading?!"

"My goodness, is the System actually upgrading again?!"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed an expression of ecstasy!

He knew exactly what a System upgrade meant.

The last System upgrade was back when Great Xia had just produced a hundred Cultivators.

That upgrade directly unlocked a Divine-Grade function for him—[Insight Empowerment]!

It was precisely because of this function that he was able to reap the rewards effortlessly, instantly mastering Perfection-level Cultivation Techniques,

and even comprehending the Three Great Sword Intents, granting him the abnormal combat power to challenge those in higher Realms.

This time... Lin Xiyue's Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, representing a qualitative change in Great Xia's high-end combat power, clearly triggered the System's upgrade mechanism again.

"Last time was Insight Empowerment, what will it be this time?"

"Will there be new functions added again?"

Lin Mo's breathing involuntarily quickened, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

Logically, this System upgrade would definitely add new functions!

He just didn't know what direction it would lean toward.

"Forget it, whatever the function is, it's bound to be useful!"

"As the saying goes, haste makes waste!"

"Then I'll just wait!"

Lin Mo sat cross-legged again, the sharp light in his eyes flickering.

Since the System was upgrading and communication was temporarily cut off, he didn't need to rush off.

He decided to wait right here until the System upgrade was complete, see what the new function was, and then make his plans!

"Younger Sister, oh Younger Sister, you truly are my lucky star!"

Lin Mo curled his lips into a smile, then closed his eyes,

starting to stabilize the cultivation that had just violently surged to the Golden Core Eighth Stage,

while quietly waiting for the moment the System upgrade finished.

He had a premonition.

This upgrade might bring him unprecedented surprises!
