From star gatherer to leader of humanity

The dark black magical spaceship traversed the vast and endless sea of ​​shattered stars.

In the portable spiritual energy room, Xu Bai learned everything: magic, weapon crafting, formations, and talismans.

Every day, he rolls the aptitude dice, and most of the time the results are medium or high grade, making Xu Bai wonder if his luck has really turned around.

Three months after leaving the base, Xu Bai tossed down the aptitude dice as usual, without even glancing at them.

After the qualification die spun around on the ground a few times, the character "仙" (immortal) appeared facing up.

Xu Bai was stunned, and then he felt that this world had become different in his eyes. Everything seemed extremely simple.

The surging joy and complex emotions in his heart were suppressed by absolute rationality. At this moment, Xu Bai's eyes revealed a kind of divine radiance.

"A filthy body, unfortunately, can't be washed away in just one day~"

Xu Bai took out the "Spiritual Qi Technique" from his storage bag, preparing to deduce the subsequent foundation-building techniques of the "Spiritual Qi Technique" based on his own understanding. At this moment, the famous immortal master in the spiritual qi room appeared in front of Xu Bai.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a clear and refined celestial aptitude. With aptitude like yours, what else do you want to ask?" The young man, who seemed to be surrounded by the Great Dao, looked at Xu Bai and said.

"Senior, although my comprehension is strong at this moment, my foundation is limited. I would be grateful if you could help me deduce the subsequent techniques of the 'Spiritual Qi Technique'." Xu Bai bowed.

"No problem. Although this 'Spiritual Qi Technique' is complex and has many fancy features, if we work together, we should be able to deduce the complete cultivation method for the Foundation Establishment stage." The young man nodded.

Therefore, the two sides spent a day completely deducing the subsequent cultivation methods of the "Spiritual Qi Technique". Not only that, at the last moment when the immortal-grade aptitude was left, the two sides also jointly deduced a secret method called: Minor Dao Embryo Foundation Building Method.

The moment the time limit for his Immortal-grade aptitude expired, Xu Bai fainted in the spiritual energy room.

He was unconscious for half a month. When Xu Bai woke up, he found himself lying on Li Weiwei's lap.

Meanwhile, the magical spaceship was hiding silently inside a shattered celestial body.

"Master, you're finally awake," Livivi said happily.

Xu Bai felt as if he had drunk too much and blacked out. He only remembered that the self-made dice had landed on a Celestial Grade aptitude, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

"What's the situation now?" Xu Bai asked quietly.

"Ahead in the Shattered Star Sea, a group of Nascent Soul stage Starry Sky Beasts are engaged in a chaotic battle. Master Hun and Sister Xiao Ai have decided to hide for a while and see if they can take advantage of the situation after the battle is over."

As Li Weiwei spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a jade slip from her storage bag, and handed it to Xu Bai.

"Master, this is what you gave me before you fell unconscious. You said you'd show it to me after you woke up from your unconsciousness."

Xu Bai slowly sat up, and after realizing that he was alright, he took the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.

This is a letter left to him by Xu Bai when he possessed the aptitude of a Celestial Grade. It also contains a complete set of the "Spiritual Qi Technique" foundation-building cultivation method, which inherits all the characteristics of the attribute version of the "Spiritual Qi Technique".

Upon seeing this, Xu Bai's first thought was to add attributes to the Foundation Establishment stage "Spiritual Qi Technique" jade slip. However, the letter sternly warned Xu Bai not to add any attributes to the "Spiritual Qi Technique" jade slip he had deduced. Otherwise, with his aptitude, he would be unable to cultivate it unless he drew a Spiritual Grade aptitude every day.

After reading the letter, Xu Bai perused the entire Foundation Establishment stage cultivation method, "Spiritual Qi Technique." With his cultivation level at the peak of Qi Refining, he could only barely understand it. If he wanted to cultivate it, he would need the guidance of a renowned master.

At the end of the "Spiritual Qi Technique" cultivation method, there is a special secret method for foundation building. This secret method does not require taking foundation building pills to advance to the foundation building stage. However, it requires condensing a small Dao embryo with one's own spiritual energy and nurturing it in the small Dao embryo for nine months before one can establish a foundation.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Xu Bai sighed softly.

"You are me, and I am me, so why do you sound so disdainful?" Xu Bai said, pursing his lips.

After leaving the spirit energy room, they arrived at the spaceship's main control room. At this moment, Xu Hun and Xu Ai were staring at a screen with light and shadow. On the screen, a group of Nascent Soul stage star beasts were fighting each other, as if they were fighting for territory.

"How far is the battlefield?" Xu Bai asked casually.

"It's 30,000 li from here," Xu Hun said.

"Do we have any chance to get a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul?" At this point, Xu Bai thought of the Jade Centipede in the Soul Path Small Realm. After transforming into a soul cultivator, it gained intelligence, but not much, and its behavior was still like that of a child.

"We can give it a try, but we can only choose the weakest ones. If the Nascent Soul stage souls are too strong, I'm afraid Xiaoyu and I won't be able to suppress them." Xu Hun suddenly became interested and stared at the battle scene on the light screen, starting to select suitable targets.

However, things don't always go as planned. The chaotic battle between the alien beasts quickly came to a conclusion, with the defeated alien beasts leaving with the corpses of their fallen companions.

"Uh, let's take a detour, there's no chance now." Xu Bai said regretfully, looking at the footage on the monitor.

"Such an opportunity is rare." Xu Hun sighed, started the spaceship, and bypassed the sea of ​​shattered stars.

"You all continue operating the spaceship. I need to go into seclusion to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, which will take nine months."

"During this period, the spaceship's navigation was primarily focused on safety. If it encountered an insurmountable obstacle, it would find a place to hide."

Xu Bai thought of the Lesser Dao Embryo Foundation Building Method, which he might have specially deduced because of his immortal-grade aptitude.

"Master, go with peace of mind. Leave everything to us." Xu Ai looked at Xu Bai with a reluctant expression.

"Master, this magical spaceship has many wonders and the ability to teleport instantly. It will be just like a fish in water in the Shattered Star Sea. As long as you are careful, you will not encounter any danger," Xu Hun assured him from the side.

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Xu Bai returned to the spiritual energy room and began his secluded cultivation.

The spiritual energy chamber is the best place for cultivation, so Xu Bai didn't need to prepare and immediately began to use the secret technique.

Within Xu Bai's dantian, three wisps of spiritual energy began to surge outward from various meridians of his body under the guidance of a secret technique, combining with external spiritual energy to form a special spiritual liquid.

A liquid, resembling both water and glue, covered Xu Bai's entire body and continued to condense, eventually forming a crystal egg as tall as a person.

Inside the egg, Xu Bai felt as if he had returned to the warmest embrace, allowing him to forget everything and drift off to sleep carefree.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the treasure ship has been traveling in the Shattered Star Sea for nine months and has already reached the area outside the coordinates mentioned at the beginning.

Now we just need to wait for Xu Bai to break through and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage before heading to that coordinate.

Inside the portable spiritual energy chamber of the spaceship, the giant spiritual energy egg that had enveloped Xu Bai for nine months began to slowly hatch. A large amount of spiritual liquid flowed out of the egg through the opening. Inside the egg, Xu Bai, who was hugging his knees, frowned slightly, looking displeased. He struggled for a moment, wanting to return to that warm embrace.

Upon discovering he couldn't find it, Xu Bai slowly opened his eyes, and then an astonishing surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in Xu Bai's dantian had already transformed into spiritual liquid and settled in his dantian.

The transformation of spiritual energy into liquid is an important sign of advancing from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.
