Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 748 - 389: The Gaze Above the River of Time

Lu Yu opened his eyes, and in front of him appeared a pure, white star, within which seemed to reside billions of creatures. He could feel the joy and sorrow of those beings.

The eighth star—the Soul Star.

[Soul Star (1 star), Soul Power increased tenfold, Soul cultivation speed increased tenfold]

Lu Yu felt that he had already touched the threshold of the Separation Realm. Although his understanding of Dao principles had not yet reached the level of the Separation Realm, in terms of Soul Power, Lu Yu's Soul Power was already clearly stronger than that of a Martial Cultivator just entering the Separation Realm. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He looked into the distance, and his vision was obscured by mixed space-time turbulence.

Soul Power surged from his mind into his eyes, and instantly Lu Yu felt the obstacles before him were full of gaps, allowing him to see through the openings to the scene behind the barriers.

With just a beam of light, Lu Yu could see the imagery reflected by the light.

The Soul Power greatly enhanced his eyes and brain's ability to process light information.

Lu Yu scanned the space-time turbulence ahead and saw the trajectory of the flowing Spiritual Qi. Although he couldn't directly see the space-time turbulence, he could indirectly "see" it through the trajectory of the Spiritual Qi's flow.

This was a world full of gaps, everywhere dotted with space-time vortices consuming Spiritual Qi and matter.

Influenced by the Core of Space-Time, space-time vortices were virtually invisible around Lu Yu.

Suddenly, he noticed an abnormal change in the flow of Spiritual Qi, which began to twist. Moments later, these twisted Spiritual Qi trajectories formed a gigantic vortex.

He looked up towards the center of the vortex, which had not yet formed. Except for Lu Yu, no one could sense the emergence of this colossal space-time vortex.

Above the river of time, Spiritual Qi accumulated for a long time finally underwent a qualitative change, opening up a space-time vortex that rapidly expanded, with the center being a stable space vortex.

Or rather, a space portal.

When the space vortex appeared, everyone saw the changes occurring above the river of time. Many people became excited, as they seemed to know what it meant.

Lu Yu instinctively used Soul Power, attempting to probe the world on the other side of the space vortex.

The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master manipulated the armillary sphere on the plaza, feeling the power within it. His brow furrowed slightly, but the moment was so brief that no one noticed his change in expression.

"Soul Power?" he was uncertain, as this force wasn't as strong as Soul Power and felt more like pure Soul Power.

The thought flashed through his mind quickly; more importantly now was to bring the people from the shattered world back. Otherwise, the parents in the plaza would give him quite an earful.

He also hoped that not too many would perish this time.

Lu Yu's Soul Power was shredded by the space's force, but he managed to sense a faint presence—the aura of the God-Martial Realm, which he would never forget.

"Finally leaving here?" Lu Yu couldn't help but feel excited.

Suddenly, a blue beam of light burst in the distance, and a heavy spatial fluctuation spread from it. Lu Yu could imagine how safe and reassuring that beam of light was.

Even a peak Separation Realm powerhouse might not be able to shake that light beam at all.

The first Prince teleported away, and the second beam of light lit up shortly after.

The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master followed the order of names on a list, conducting teleportations in sequence, retrieving them from the river of time. If it was someone's turn and no response came, he simply skipped to the next.

The Fourth Prince emerged from the space vortex opened by the armillary sphere. He hadn't been visible for long before being taken away, along with a few Golden Feather Guards who came out with him, also escorted by specially assigned leaders.

The Forbidden Army standing around the Celestial Secret Pavilion, seeing those Golden Feather Guards being taken away, couldn't help but reveal looks of envy.

These Golden Feather Guards returning with the Prince would become his close confidants, likely starting as commanders of the Forbidden Army or working as personal guards beside the Prince.

The position of the commander of the Forbidden Army, upon leaving the capital, is comparable to a Pingyuan General. Even the ruler of a city would have to pay respects.

As for them, if they could live to retirement, they'd remain in the capital.

Until then, they had no opportunity to leave the palace and would die in it if necessary.

More and more people returned from the shattered world; some rejoiced while others were sorrowful. The celestial phenomena above the Celestial Secret Pavilion's plaza were affected by a few bigwigs in a bad mood, turning it cloudy with rolling black clouds, thundering wrath likely to strike at any moment.

The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master's expression also changed; he hadn't expected so many to die this time.

Just among those being retrieved early, nearly one-third were unresponsive; in the past, casualties were usually isolated cases.

Especially at Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Yan's face looked very grim now. While people from the other royal mansions had returned, both of his had not, filling him with worry.

Zhou Hong walked out of the space vortex, his face devoid of any expression, appearing just as usual. After a few steps, he was taken away by Prince Zhou.

Chu Tiange emerged from the vortex. Seeing the spirited Chu Tiange, the Prince of Chu wanted to laugh out loud but, noticing some seemed in a bad mood, held back his laughter and took Chu Tiange away.

"Hahaha~ It seems like you've gained quite something this time; after staying inside for so long, it's time to leave a few heirs for Prince Chu's Mansion," the Prince of Chu said to Chu Tiange with a smile after leaving the Celestial Secret Pavilion.
