From star gatherer to leader of humanity

With many powerful members of the Ghost-Faced Clan eagerly awaiting the moment, the gates to the entire secret realm were about to fully open, save for Che Jihuang's soul merging into the sacrificial array, becoming the final key to unlock the gate.

Che Jihuang's soul merged into the sacrificial array, and a golden light merged into the blood-red light, attempting to open the entire secret realm in one fell swoop.

But just after the entire soul was completely integrated into the sacrificial array, the blood-red and gold-colored spiritual light suddenly became mixed with a trace of black energy.

Many powerful members of the Ghost Face Clan suddenly had an ominous premonition, and the next moment, the secret realm that the Ghost Face Clan had maintained for thousands of years suddenly began to tremble, and the gate that was about to be fully opened suddenly closed.

The entire secret realm disappeared into the void.

"don't want!"

All the powerful members of the Ghost Face Clan present joined forces to seal off the void at top speed.

But it was too late; the secret realm had already flowed into the deepest part of the void.

"No!!!"

The leading Ghost Face Clan expert let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the violent aura emanating from his body tore through the entire void.

"Very well, humans! Hundred Refinements Sect!! I didn't expect you to have such methods." The Ghost Face Clan expert gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked towards the direction of the human star field.

In the Shattered Star Sea, Xu Bai, who had been cultivating all this time, was in an extremely good mood, feeling like his fortunes had turned around. Most of the aptitude dice he rolled during cultivation were of medium or high grade.

Every two weeks when there are dice with high spiritual quality, although you can't roll them every time, you can still hit them 3 out of 5 times.

In just three months, Xu Bai had already cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Inside the spiritual energy chamber, Xu Bai was using his spiritual power to merge with spiritual energy and sketch the thirty-six most basic runes for refining weapons.

"Psychic power, spiritual power, sturdiness, resilience, affinity for fire,..."

To perfectly master these basic runes, one would normally need at least several years, or even more than a decade, of hard work.

Whenever Xu Bai was given a Spirit-grade aptitude, he would spend half of his time learning runes. In just three and a half days, Xu Bai was able to perfectly master these basic runes.

"I've mastered the basic runes, but the formal refining runes and rune arrays are vast and numerous, and I still don't know where to learn them."

Xu Bai looked at the thirty-six runes he had drawn in mid-air and gently waved his hand to erase them.

Sensing his dantian, Xu Bai had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, with 21,000 strands of spiritual energy in his dantian. This total amount of spiritual energy was enough to easily defeat an ordinary Foundation Establishment expert.

"This is a case of 'great things happening after years of hard work'."

"After a few more months of arduous training, once I reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and advance to the Golden Core stage, I will set off for that coordinate."

"Since I'm already an unregistered resident, things can't get much worse."

Xu Bai's divine sense entered the small world of the Myriad Soul Banner. At this moment, Xu Soul and the four secondary souls were diligently cultivating. Xu Soul's aura had been condensed to the extreme, and with just a little enlightenment, he could break through to the Golden Core realm.

After withdrawing his divine sense from the Soul Path Minor Realm, Xu Bai suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart, so he left the spiritual energy room and went to the entertainment hall that Xu Ai had specially set up for him.

On the way to the entertainment room, Livivi walked out of the training ground and followed behind Xu Bai.

"Master, I've learned a new massage technique from Sister Xu Ai. Would you like to try it?" Li Weiwei looked at Xu Bai expectantly, her eyes shining.

"Okay, there's a lounge over there in the entertainment hall." Xu Bai nodded with a smile, placing one hand on Li Weiwei's head and rubbing it.

Since Liwei was "trained" by Xu Ai some time ago, she seems to have found a purpose in life and is no longer the cautious and timid person she used to be, afraid of making mistakes.

She became increasingly intimate with Xu Bai, giving him massages from time to time to relieve his stress, which greatly alleviated his cosmic claustrophobia.

Inside the lounge, Xu Bai lay on the massage bed, feeling Li Weiwei's small hands pressing lightly or heavily on his body.

"Master, I recently reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. With a little more effort, I can reach the fourth level of Qi Refining."

"Sister Xu Ai said that after Master achieves success in his cultivation and establishes his own sect, I will be his personal maidservant during his lifetime," Li Weiwei said, her eyes full of longing.

Xu Bai, lying on the massage bed, smiled and said, "Never thought about becoming my butler?"

"Sister Xu Ai said that I don't have the brains and would easily delay the master's important matters."

"It's alright, you can learn from Xu Ai. Being a housekeeper is very simple."

Time flies, and before we knew it, half a year had passed.

On this day, the Soul Dao Small World within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner suddenly trembled. Xu Hun condensed his Soul Core within the Soul Dao Small World and broke through to the Golden Core stage, while the four secondary souls beside him also cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Xu Bai, who was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, waved his hand and released Xu Hun, who was already at the Golden Core stage.

"Master, I spoke a little too loudly back then." Xu Hun looked ashamed. They had agreed on six months, but it took him nine months to break through to the Golden Core stage.

"The Soul Cultivation Technique and Soul Nourishing Technique have enhanced your potential and aptitude, making you stronger and more powerful. It's understandable that your advancement time will be longer."

"I'm at the peak of Qi Refining, and you've reached the Golden Core stage. Now, we can go to that coordinate."

"Xu Ai." Xu Bai called out, and Xu Ai walked over from a distance.

"Pack your things, we'll set off in three days."

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, Xu Bai had two storage bags hanging from his waist. Both of these storage bags had magic weapon compartments and enlarged storage space.

In order to take away the magic treasure mining spaceship and the Demon Abyss Sect's treasure spaceship, Xu Bai specially borrowed the Qi Circulation Disc to obtain these attributes.

Three days later, the magical spaceship flew out of the base and headed into the depths of the Shattered Star Sea.

Inside the main control room, Xu Hun piloted the spaceship, Xu Ai recorded information about the shattered star sea along the way, while Xu Bai focused on learning spells and unorthodox techniques in the portable spiritual energy room.

Xu Bai had gone to great lengths to fit this portable spirit chamber inside the spaceship.

The courses Xu Bai initially purchased were all beginner-level. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy the later courses, but rather that he could only continue to purchase courses and learn if he passed the professional certification.

"Fortunately, I prepared enough things over the past year; these things are enough to keep me learning for a year."

Xu Bai took out a box from his storage bag, which contained thirty spell jade slips, all of which he had bought when he left Shattered Star City.

"Firebird Technique, Telekinesis, Multiple Ice Arrows, Meteor Shower, Golden Blade Technique..."

Taking out the spell jade slip of the Firebird Technique, Xu Bai drew six green attributes from his dantian to cover it.

Firebird Technique Jade Slip - Attributes: Spell Power [Spell Power +20%], Dual Casting [One becomes two], Overclocking Casting [Consumes more spiritual energy to enhance the power and number of Firebirds], Auto-Navigation [No need for mental control, only one target required], Spell Energy Saving [Saves half the spiritual energy consumption], Soul Wound [Makes the enemy's soul burn]

"Although I haven't sparred with anyone, I feel that among those of similar skill level, everyone here is..."
