Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Five days later.

Jiang Lan sat cross-legged in a cave near Demon Moon Lake.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with divine light.

"Just one step away from breaking through."

At this moment, his strength had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Hengxing realm.

However, it's still a bit short of breaking through to the cosmic level.

"Didn't it work?"

Babata's voice echoed in Jiang Lan's mind.

"Hmm, not quite there."

Jiang Lan replied.

Babata's voice rang out again, "Hmm... don't be discouraged. It's very difficult for anyone, regardless of who they are, to break through to the universe from the constellation level."

Jiang Lan was not particularly moved by what she heard.

Babata didn't know, but he did.

The reason he hasn't broken through yet is simply because the energy in his dantian is not enough to break through the cosmic barrier.

However, Jiang Lan had a premonition that it was about time.

If he goes to Demon Moon Lake again and has a bit of luck, he should have no problem breaking through.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Babata remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, he spoke again:

"Jiang Lan, there's something I feel I should tell you."

"Um?"

Jiang Lan's expression became slightly more serious.

It was rare for Babata to speak to him in this tone.

"What? Tell me."

"It's nothing... it's just that the speed at which your strength is improving is a bit too fast."

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I know that, is there a problem?"

"No..." Babata said, "What I mean is, in all this time, the only improvement you've made is in strength, while the improvements in other aspects are minimal."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Lan was puzzled.

Babata replied:

"Normally, with your talent, it shouldn't be difficult for you to cross the threshold into the Domain Realm at the Hengxing level. But you haven't improved at all in this aspect."

"It may not seem like much now. And whether you've entered the Domain Realm or not won't affect your successful advancement to the Universe Realm."

"But if you want to continue improving, you must master domain abilities. Otherwise, even if you are strong enough, you will only be stuck at the ninth level of the universe and unable to cross the threshold of the domain lord level..."

Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes slightly.

He hadn't really thought about it much before Babata told him all this.

But now it seems that domain capabilities are also a problem he urgently needs to solve.

To be honest, if he were already at the Domain Realm, he would probably have broken through directly instead of waiting for the energy in his dantian to continue to increase and then forcibly breaking through the barrier.

Babata's voice echoed in his mind once again.

"I don't know your situation, why things are like this now. Logically speaking, your talent is countless times greater than that 'Hong' on Earth, but Hong only reached the planetary level before comprehending the ability of a domain..."

Jiang Lan interrupted Babata and asked:

"Is there any way to quickly enter the Domain Realm?"

"This..." Babata was silent for a moment, "There is no single way to do this. One method may suit one person, but it may not suit others. Therefore, if you want to become a master in this field, you can only rely on yourself."

"However, one thing I'm certain of is that the concept of a domain is related to your own state of mind. Many people have had a sudden enlightenment and then directly stepped into the threshold of the domain realm."

"State of mind..." Jiang Lan repeated softly.

"Yes, it's about your state of mind, or rather, your emotions. When you're in the right place, you'll naturally enter the realm," Babata said. "And this state of mind or emotion isn't limited to one type. Whatever the reason for a change in your state of mind, it can lead you into the realm."

"so……"

Jiang Lan still only vaguely understood.

The reason is simply that Babata's words were far too abstract.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan suddenly shook his head.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now.

In any case, whether or not he enters the realm of domains, it won't prevent him from advancing to become a universe.

Although it will affect his breakthrough to the Domain Lord level, there's always a way out. If he still hasn't grasped the ability to comprehend a domain after becoming a ninth-order Universe Lord, it's not too late to worry then.

"Forget it, let's go to Demon Moon Lake first. I have a feeling I'm about to break through."

"Alright. Don't worry too much about things in this field. I'll let you know if there's any news about it in the near future."

OK.

Jiang Lan agreed and walked straight out of the cave.

A dozen seconds later, he arrived at the edge of Demon Moon Lake with practiced ease.

Near the lake, there were thirty or forty ferocious beasts scattered about, some lying on the ground drinking water, others relying on each other to communicate through roars.

Jiang Lan stood in mid-air, like a god descending to earth, his eyes flashing with a faint bluish-purple electric light.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning, like divine punishment, fell and crackled against the shore of Demon Moon Lake.

Although the power of this lightning was not as great as the lightning that descended from the Thunder World, it was more than enough to deal with this group of ferocious beasts of the sixth or seventh level of the Hengxing realm.

Upon being electrocuted, the group of ferocious beasts immediately straightened their limbs and convulsed violently.

A moment later, the thirty or forty ferocious beasts kicked their legs and died completely.

As Jiang Lan's strength increased, the destructive power of his lightning abilities also became more formidable.

Once you reach the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, your lightning abilities will be more than enough to deal with these ferocious beasts.

Seeing that there were no survivors below, Jiang Lan slowly descended.

Just then, several dark figures suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, rushing towards Demon Moon Lake at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes, ignoring the matter, and instead flew towards the group of ferocious beast corpses.

Previously, when he was at the first level of the Hengxing realm, he might have chosen to avoid groups of martial artists.

But now, he's just one step away from becoming a cosmic-level being, so there's no need for him to back down anymore.

To put it arrogantly, Jiang Lan's current strength is such that he has no rivals in the entire Thunder World.

Even if there were other beings at the same Hengxing level, Jiang Lan possessed skills, and the power he could unleash with a single attack was far beyond what any other martial artist of the same level could match.

Moreover, it's not just his attack power; Jiang Lan's defensive capabilities are also ridiculously strong.

This is because his Cloud Vine is already at the third level of the universe.

Yes, the third order of the universe.

Mo Yun Teng's improvement speed is even faster than Jiang Lan's, who has a system!

All of this is because of Jiang Lan's investment regardless of cost.

Unlike humans, the Moyun Vine can increase its strength very quickly as long as it has enough nutrients.

In Babata's hands were treasures that Huyanbo had specially left behind to cultivate the Moyun Vine.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the Mo Yun Teng is so powerful. (End of Chapter)
