As time passed, and as the evolution of the various races continued, this star gradually became colourful and filled with energy. As the major races grew prosperous, the star itself also prospered.
All living beings drew energy from the star unrestrainedly, obtaining various things that were beneficial to themselves.
At some point, however, the star began to grow old.
It no longer had as much energy for the beings to cultivate with, and it no longer had excess energy to give birth to precious and rare cultivation materials.
It began to become barren. It was strong in will but weak in strength, and looking at the countless creatures living on it, it felt helpless.
The prosperity of ancient times gradually faded away and the World Energy aura became thinner and thinner. At the same time, the cultivation realms of cultivators became lower and lower.
No one could sense higher levels of the Heavenly Way and Martial Dao.
It had grown old, like a kind father, a kind mother, who took pains to raise its children, raising them with unconditional love, granting them every request it could without complaint.
However, it could no longer provide any more help to its children.
It had once been youthful and full of vitality, but now, it could barely manage to maintain its feeble existence.
Its children call it Tong Xuan Realm!
…..
Yang Kai woke up from that mysterious state, and his eyes flashed with the vicissitudes of life.
He had witnessed the birth of a Cultivation Star, watched it prosper, weaken, and gradually tread upon the path to death. Like this Cultivation Star, he had seemingly experienced hundreds of millions of years, giving him an indescribable feeling.
Yang Kai’s state of mind and mood received an unprecedented consolidation. At this moment, his understanding of the world had reached an incredible height, just like a wise man who had lived countless years, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
He felt that even if he broke through to the Origin King Realm right now, his mental state would not have a single flaw!
His perception of the Martial Dao and Heavenly Way had now far surpassed his own cultivation!
The improvement of one’s mental state normally required a great accumulation of time and for one to experience the world around them, which happened to coincide with the strange experience Yang Kai just had.
The cultivation of one’s mood and state of mind was ethereal and unexplainable, but it was no doubt real, something each individual had to sense and evaluate independently. Yang Kai had not expected that Little Senior Sister refining the Star Source would let him benefit in such a way.
He wanted to immerse himself in that wonderful atmosphere again, but no matter how he tried, he could not find a way to enter that mysterious state.
This made him sigh a little.
Suddenly, Yang Kai seemed to have noticed something, and his expression sank. Quickly getting up, he rushed over to the edge of the crevice.
He could hear Little Senior Sister’s pained groans coming from down below, as if she was experiencing extreme hardship!
Reaching the edge, Yang Kai only saw the massive swaying grey flames, with Little Senior Sister nowhere to be seen. However, he could still feel that Xia Ning Chang was wrapped in the grey fire, tossing about somewhat violently.
The surrounding World Energy had gathered madly towards the underground cave from the surrounding several hundred-kilometre radii, possibly even further.
It seemed like all of Tong Xuan Realm’s World Energy had become a bit chaotic as a result.
Little Senior Sister’s cultivation realm was increasing at a terrifying speed at this moment.
Originally, she had only been a Second-Order Saint King, but at this moment, she had already reached the peak of the Second-Order Saint King Realm.
A moment later, she directly broke through to the Third-Order Saint King Realm!
This was just the beginning though and her cultivation continued to rise.
Soon it reached the peak Third-Order Saint King Realm and seemed to touch upon the threshold of the Origin Returning Realm!
Yang Kai was thoroughly shocked.
Such unrestrained breakthroughs in one’s cultivation would put a tremendous load on the body of a cultivator, but with Little Senior Sister’s aptitude, this should still be tolerable.
What worried Yang Kai was not this though, but rather it was the surrounding World Energy which… seemed to no longer be rushing towards this place.
The massive amount of World Energy which had gathered before had been consumed by Xia Ning Chang’s breakthrough to the Third-Order Saint King Realm and her attempt to reach the Origin Returning Realm.
Xia Ning Chang’s aura could also now faintly be felt from the massive grey flames, which showed that her fusion with the Star Source was proceeding very smoothly, but it was precisely because of this smoothness that Little Senior Sister was now facing difficulties.
There was no more World Energy for her to break through to the Origin Returning Realm, nor enough aura to receive her World Energy baptism once she did.
This was a breakthrough to a new Great Realm, and there was no room for any mistakes. If this breakthrough failed, with Xia Ning Chang’s current state of integration with Tong Xuan Realm’s Star Source, her fate would likely be miserable.
Yang Kai began worrying silently.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought up a solution.
If there was not enough World Energy, he could just use Saint Crystals instead! Yang Kai had not used Saint Crystals before when making breakthroughs because Shadowed Star’s World Energy aura was enough to fully meet his needs.
Now that the ambient World Energy of Tong Xuan Realm could not satisfy Little Senior Sister, however, he could simply use Saint Crystals to make up for the shortfall.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and his ring flashed, after which a massive number of white, shimmering Saint Crystals poured down like rain.
Before these Saint Crystals could reach the bottom of the abyss, they all exploded into dust and released an enormous amount of pure energy which then gathered toward the location of Xia Ning Chang and the huge grey flame.
Xia Ning Chang’s pained moans faded, and the chaotic aura down below began to calm. Even the swaying of the grey flames stabilized noticeably.
Yang Kai smiled happily and poured out more Saint Crystals.
For this long-distance voyage, he had brought a lot of Saint Crystals with him, including all that he had plundered from Thunder Typhoon Sect’s headquarters that day, as well as some of what was in High Heaven Sect’s reserves.
At this moment, these hundreds of millions of Saint Crystals were all thrown into the crevice by Yang Kai.
