Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 663 - 356: Immortal Star

Lu Yu sat in the courtyard, the burning solar constellation hovering to his right.

Stretching out his left hand, a blue lunar star appeared in his palm, the air around the lunar star hissed, and frost spread from under Lu Yu's feet.

The solar constellation and lunar star gently floated up and down; the solar constellation was noticeably more active, not only rising and falling but also spinning and leaping.

Taking out the beheading saber, it trembled slightly in Lu Yu's hand, a fierce energy rushed out, trying to seize control of Lu Yu's mind.

Lu Yu snorted softly, dispersing the fierce energy around him.

The solar constellation rapidly expanded, turning into a furnace, into which Lu Yu placed the beheading saber.

Whoosh~ The fire of the solar constellation swelled with the wind, its flames fiercely burning the beheading saber, turning it red and glowing, attempting to melt the Divine Soldiers' weapon.

The beheading saber sensed the danger, continuously vibrating, constantly impacting Lu Yu's mind, trying to escape.

Lu Yu held the hilt tightly; despite its constant trembling, it couldn't break free from Lu Yu's grip.

Sizzle~ The fierce energy within the beheading saber was burnt, making a sound, its power gradually being weakened.

In terms of Divine Soldiers' grade, the solar constellation was far inferior to the beheading saber; if they clashed, the solar constellation might lose.

But the solar constellation connected to the void's sea of fire, able to draw upon its power to refine the beheading saber; a mere beheading saber couldn't compare to the boundless sea of fire.

After a long stalemate, the power of the beheading saber suddenly weakened, and the blade began showing signs of melting.

The lunar star beneath the furnace formed by the solar constellation had been eagerly awaiting.

A drop of refined Divine Weapon Essence fell, and the lunar star, like a hungry child, quickly devoured the essence.

Soon, the Divine Weapon Essence on the lunar star was completely absorbed, enhancing its power.

In turn, the solar constellation's power increased slightly; they complemented each other, with one's strength bolstering the other.

If one was too weak, the other's power would be suppressed as well.

Drip, drip, drip~ the Divine Weapon Essence refined from the beheading saber grew more abundant, dripping faster and faster, nearly overwhelming the lunar star, enveloped in a black liquid filled with starlight.

Lu Yu looked at the lunar star, retracting part of the solar constellation's power, slowing the melting of the beheading saber.

He released the hilt, the beheading saber already half melted, its strength greatly reduced, no longer requiring his suppression.

The solar constellation continued refining the beheading saber, but the Divine Weapon Essence was left within the solar constellation, as the lunar star couldn't digest so much essence in a short time.

The beheading saber completely melted into a black liquid, scattered with starlight, resembling a starry night sky.

The solar constellation had thoroughly refined the beheading saber; the lunar star still hadn't absorbed all the Divine Weapon Essence.

Lu Yu had to leave the excess essence within the solar constellation.

The essence's attributes leaned toward darkness, unsuitable for cultivating the solar constellation, only to be stored for future use.

Unconsciously, night fell, and the lunar star managed to absorb just half of the beheading saber's Divine Weapon Essence.

Lu Yu could even feel the lunar star conveying a sense of being overfilled.

[Lunar Star (2 stars): All attributes enhanced twelvefold]

[Ability - Eternal Silence of the Stars: Summon the Power of the Moon, freezing all life]

Absorbing half of the Divine Weapon Essence from the beheading saber, the lunar star's power had already surpassed that of the solar constellation, though in terms of explosive damage, the solar constellation's blazing sun still had greater effect.

A bright and a dark imaginary star revolved around Lu Yu, and he felt his internal energy undergoing a mysterious transformation.

Within his Dantian appeared the nascent form of a third Golden Core, rapidly absorbing, sweeping away the Spiritual Power, almost instantly depleting the Spiritual Power within Lu Yu's Dantian.

However, the Golden Core's nascent form seemed scarcely changed.

Seeing his third Golden Core unable to obtain sufficient Spiritual Power, nearly on the brink of dispersal, Spiritual Qi stored within Lu Yu's body's cells converged like gentle streams, forming rivers, flowing into the third Golden Core. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Suddenly, two large rivers rushed into the streams, pouring into the third Golden Core, providing ample Spiritual Qi.

Those were Spiritual Qi from Lu Yu's two Golden Cores.

With the two Golden Cores and Lu Yu's body's cells continuously supplying Spiritual Qi, the third Golden Core gradually took shape.

Lu Yu looked inside his Dantian, discovering that the Spiritual Qi required by the third Golden Core far exceeded what was needed for the previous two.

When the first Golden Core formed, Lu Yu still had a void's sea of fire providing copious Spiritual Qi.

When the second Golden Core formed, a whole pond of Water of the Moon supplied endless Spiritual Qi.

Forming the third Golden Core consumed even more Spiritual Qi than the previous two combined, and Lu Yu lacked ample Spiritual Qi supply, placing enormous pressure.

For now, only maintaining the third Golden Core temporarily from collapsing was possible; without sufficient Spiritual Qi, the third Golden Core's refinement might fail.

This is also why most people have only one Golden Core.

Because a single Golden Core exhausted all their Spiritual Qi, they even required significant external resources to provide enough Spiritual Qi for formation.

Not to mention the stringent conditions for condensing the second Golden Core, merely the far greater Spiritual Qi requirement than the first is unbearable for most Martial Cultivators.

If not for Lu Yu's entire body cells storing Spiritual Qi, during the third Golden Core's nascent stage with its relentless draw from his body's Spiritual Qi, his body would've been drained, leaving him severely injured.
