[Kindling: 170]

After a night of hard work, Master Lu only managed to gather 150 points of Kindling.

Although this speed was not slow, Lu Ming still felt it was a bit insufficient.

Based on past experience, if four-star required 1000 Kindling, wouldn't five-star require 10,000 points?

Holy moly, wouldn't that be insane?

Don't misunderstand, he wasn't worried about himself breaking down; after all, his physical body had reached the fifth realm, so crushing grenades with his bare hands was not an issue.

He was worried about his delicate wives breaking down.

Lu Ming thought about it and concluded that there must be other system rules he hadn't discovered yet.

Just like when he executed An Yangzi, a pseudo-corpse dissolution immortal, he directly gained a massive 10,000 points of experience.

Therefore, he vaguely had some guesses in his heart.

The stronger the target, the more Kindling he would obtain!

In other words, he had to find a way to go for the big ones!

It was simple to verify this conclusion; there were two stunning young women next door... but this matter would have to be discussed later... Lu Ming shook his head, casting aside those distracting thoughts.

Ultimately, having strong personal power was the most important thing.

For some reason, recently, the alien races outside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races had shown signs of being difficult to contain.

A few days ago, the Winged Race outside Daxia's Western Regions suddenly attacked the Demon Suppression Army guarding the Western Regions passage.

Fortunately, the director of the Black Tortoise Bureau arrived in time and desperately killed two seventh-realm high-ranking Winged Race members, barely managing to hold the passage.

Meanwhile, news of alien race harassment frequently came from the Northern Frontier and the East Sea.

Only the Southern Frontier, where Jiangcheng was located, was completely calm.

But it was hard to guarantee that those beasts weren't planning something big.

Therefore, quickly improving his strength was fundamental!

Lu Ming condensed a wisp of mental power and gently probed into his dantian.

Since he killed An Yangzi, the immortal seed hidden deep within his origin had remained dormant, like a dead star, occasionally emitting a faint glow.

Now, to refine it and open his Qi Sea, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Opening a Qi Sea with an immortal seed, throughout all of Daxia, only he had such a privilege.

The risks involved were naturally self-evident.

But as the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish.

To display greatness before others, one must suffer behind the scenes!

According to the common sense of the cultivation world, opening a Qi Sea meant using the vast spiritual energy of fierce beast blood to continuously scour the dantian.

Until a space capable of holding spiritual liquid was opened, that was enough.

As for why it failed, most people failed because their physical bodies were weak and unable to control the violent spiritual energy of fierce beast essence blood.

The immortal seed within Lu Ming's body contained power far exceeding ordinary fierce beast essence blood, and the risk was dozens or even hundreds of times higher.

Fortunately, his physical body had reached the peak of the fifth realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to refine it rashly.

Lu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, forming complex hand seals.

Golden spiritual liquid from his 720 acupoints converged into rivers, slowly flowing along his meridians towards his dantian.

A faint golden light emanated from beneath his skin, filling the entire room with golden radiance.

"Om––"

The moment the spiritual liquid touched the immortal seed, thunder seemed to erupt within his dantian.

The previously dormant immortal seed suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Countless tiny specks of light scattered from the immortal seed, like stardust exploding in the night sky, rapidly swirling within the dantian.

Lu Ming calmed his mind, and under the guidance of his mental power, the light specks did not collide aimlessly but began to rotate along a specific trajectory.

Initially, there were only a few scattered points, but as more and more light points joined, they formed a miniature vortex in the center of the dantian.

At the center of the vortex, the immortal seed shed its dull outer shell, revealing a pure white core, emitting a soft yet immense energy like a star.

The vortex spun faster and faster, frantically drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian.

The air outside the window visibly distorted, transforming into streams of spiritual energy that drilled into Lu Ming's body through his mouth, nose, and pores, merging into the vortex.

Those scattered stardust-like specks, nourished by the spiritual energy, gradually condensed into tiny stars, slowly rotating around the immortal seed's core.

As the immortal seed's immense spiritual energy surged out, the depression beneath the stars began to emit the sound of surging waves.

Golden spiritual liquid continuously condensed and gathered.

Initially, it was just a trickle, slowly flowing through the gaps between the stars.

But as spiritual energy continued to pour in, the trickle gradually gathered into a stream, which then accumulated in the depression, eventually forming a golden ocean.

This ocean was not still; instead, it gently swayed with the rotation of the stars.

Layers of ripples spread across the surface, emitting a soft glow that shimmered with the stars above, forming a fantastical star-sea tableau.

Lu Ming's aura was also continuously climbing.

Fourth Realm First Level.

Fourth Realm Fifth Level.

Fourth Realm Ninth Level!

In the blink of an eye, he reached the limit of the Fourth Realm!

Lu Ming's mental power, situated within the star sea, appeared extraordinarily tiny.

"That's a huge chunk!"

Lu Ming was stunned.

Rumor had it that the highest-grade vast sea was merely an ocean.

But what was his Qi Sea?

With the sun, moon, and stars above, and a boundless ocean beneath his feet, it was endless!

How long would his Dao have to be to reach the other shore?

In simpler terms, comprehending the Dao in the fifth realm was about building a bridge of the Great Dao within the Qi Sea.

Only when the bridge of the Great Dao completely connected the physical body and the soul could one step into the sixth realm, Mountain Sea!

Lu Ming stared at the boundless star sea within his dantian, the excitement he felt from breaking through instantly doused by a bucket of cold water.

Although the Qi Sea of ordinary cultivators was called a sea, it ultimately had boundaries.

Once spiritual liquid accumulated to a certain extent, they could see the top, and there was a clear direction when building the bridge of the Great Dao.

But his star sea was endless, with stars scattered throughout, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven just to find the starting point for building the bridge of the Great Dao.

"If I were to comprehend the Dao by ordinary methods, I'm afraid I'd still be circling in the Airborne Realm even when the alien races attacked."

Lu Ming gave a wry smile, his mental power slowly roaming through the star sea, trying to find a breakthrough.

An hour later, he completely gave up.

Although he had successfully become a perpetual motion machine.

Before officially comprehending the Dao, he urgently needed to find a powerful and stable Great Dao.

Otherwise, he would most likely be forever stuck in the fifth realm, and then he would only be able to follow the path of Physical Body Sanctification...
