Chapter 23

Ning Yue spent a few hours flipping through documents, rubbed his forehead, and remembered the divine crystal fragment given to him by Luo Xuan. He was also very curious about what information was recorded in this divine crystal fragment, but with so many things happening today, he had no time to spare.

Ning Yue took out the divine crystal and tried several different powers. It was only when he used the power of the Azure Dragon that the divine crystal reacted.

The divine crystal fragment suddenly scattered, transforming into dozens of crystal screens. On each screen, there were anywhere from seven to dozens of beast shadows. Each beast had countless light points, which were connected by various colored currents, cycling back and forth, looking extremely peculiar.

Ning Yue only needed one glance to know that this was a set of the most precious cultivation secrets, its intricacies and profundity surpassing any cultivation secret he knew.

"No wonder Luo Xuan was willing to give up everything. He must be planning to start over, so he was willing to abandon his original power."

Fuli had been by Ning Yue's side, helping him check the documents. She couldn't help but show a look of surprise and said after a while, "This secret method is too complicated. It seems impossible to cultivate."

Ning Yue smiled slightly, extended his finger, and tapped a few times. The crystal screens rearranged themselves, then recombined into a golden-armored divine general, surrounded by dozens of super-grade treasures, with an extraordinary aura.

Fuli's mouth immediately formed an "O" in surprise. Ning Yue frowned and thought hard for a moment, then reached out again, disrupting the arrangement of the crystal screens. This time, the dozens of screens recombined into a three-headed, six-armed divine demon, fierce and terrifying, with a surging aura of demonic flames, its power seemingly surpassing even the golden-armored divine general.

Fuli quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out. She was already extremely surprised and was about to ask Ning Yue what this was when Ning Yue frowned and recombined the crystal screens again.

However, in the following attempts, Ning Yue combined the screens into more than ten different forms, none of which were as powerful as the golden-armored divine general or the three-headed, six-armed divine demon. Despite his best efforts, sweat beads formed on his forehead, and his body began to heat up, but he still couldn't derive a more satisfactory form.

After another failed attempt, Ning Yue hesitated for a moment, then let out a low cry. A flesh seam split open on his forehead, revealing a third divine eye. This divine eye changed rapidly, as if reflecting the entire universe, with countless nebulae transforming. The dozens of crystal screens formed by the divine crystal continuously recombined, producing hundreds of results in an instant.

Activating the power of the third divine eye was extremely taxing on Ning Yue. Sweat poured from his body, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His entire body emitted high-energy heat. Fuli quickly placed her hands together, forming a protective shield around Ning Yue, preventing the entire room from being burned to ashes.

Ning Yue suddenly let out a high-pitched, dragon-like roar that echoed through the clouds. A few seconds later, the alarms of all the private cars in the neighborhood went off simultaneously. Countless people who were sleeping were jolted awake, and a torrent of angry curses poured out of window after window.

This neighborhood had always been the most upscale in the city, and its residents were known for their high standards. However, on this night, the residents' behavior plummeted to an unprecedented low. Every lady turned into a shrew, and every gentleman, who was usually polite, shouted out the filthiest words they had ever uttered.

Ning Yue couldn't care less about these things. In an instant, he had exhausted all his strength, and his body suddenly collapsed. Before he fell, Ning Yue finally saw the dozens of crystal screens combine into a flawless bald man.

This bald man radiated golden light, even his hair was a faint golden color. His eyes were like two small suns, impossible to look at directly.

He looked about eighty to ninety percent like Ning Yue, with only slight differences. But these differences transformed his face from ordinary handsome to incomparably perfect. No one could find a single flaw on his face. He was the ultimate form of a human, embodying the utmost yang and strength, yet also returning to simplicity, capable of attracting any woman on Earth to fall in love with him.

After Ning Yue collapsed, the dozens of crystal screens scattered and returned to the divine crystal fragment.

However, Ning Yue had already memorized the method of combination and would never forget it.

Ning Yue rested for four to five hours, then recovered some of his energy. He recombined the divine crystal into dozens of crystal screens, and four images appeared. These four images were four sets of life soul diagrams: the Great Sun Golden Crow versus the Void Dragon, the Light King Beast versus the Shadow Beast. Each set was a ninth-stage life soul diagram.

Ning Yue focused for a while and couldn't help but marvel, muttering to himself, "I didn't expect that this set of life soul diagrams, considered completely untrainable, had already been perfected. Light versus darkness, the Great Sun versus the Void, not a single extra element, not a single missing part. The version of the eighteen sets of life soul diagrams from the dark world, which are pieced together, is completely untrainable and is just garbage compared to these four sets of life soul diagrams."

Ning Yue had also collected these four sets of life soul diagrams, but the versions he knew were completely different from these four. Only these four sets, which had been recombined, could be combined together.

Life soul diagrams were the methods for cultivating soul power, opening life souls, and condensing virtual forms in the dark world. Each set of life soul diagrams was extremely precious. A complete third-stage life soul diagram was enough to establish a sect and pass down for a hundred years. A fifth-stage life soul diagram could even give rise to a powerful family that stood for hundreds of years. A seventh-stage life soul diagram could cultivate a strong person who could dominate the dark world and be invincible in their time.

By now, the sky was beginning to lighten. Fuli prepared breakfast for Ning Yue and brought it to him. She sat quietly by his side, like a maid who could follow any command from her master.

If it were any other time, Ning Yue would have advised Fuli not to be too formal, but he was so engrossed in the four sets of life soul diagrams that he couldn't spare any attention.

Ning Yue tried to cultivate one of the life soul diagrams but after half an hour, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Fuli, "It seems I have to go to the dark world to cultivate this set of life soul diagrams. It's impossible to complete the cultivation of these four life soul diagrams in the main world."

Fuli replied softly, "Shall I get you an invitation letter from a foreign university?"

Ning Yue nodded and, after a moment, smiled and said, "Get one for Lu Wenyin too. If she's willing, I'll take her this time. It's also time to complete the Twelve Spirit Servants."

Fuli was slightly startled and lowered her head, not letting Ning Yue see her expression.
