　　Ye Wushuang showed no alarm. Turning around, he saw Gu Wentian standing there with his hands behind his back.
　　Still in the form of a skeletal figure.
　　”She has already fallen into slumber.”
　　Gu Wentian said bluntly, “Before leaving, she specifically asked me to thank you properly. Though she hasn’t been resurrected, at the very least, you gave us one final incense stick’s worth of reminiscence.”
　　Ye Wushuang comforted, “All things in this world bloom and wither; many matters are beyond our control.”
　　”Had you not been fixated on the past, perhaps you would have achieved even greater heights by now.”
　　Hearing this, Gu Wentian chuckled, “Perhaps. Still, I have no regrets.”
　　Gu Wentian looked at Ye Wushuang and said again, “I have one last favor to ask of you.”
　　”To bury you together with her, and then completely destroy this place, is that it？”
　　”Mm…”
　　”This is not a difficult task for me.” Ye Wushuang looked at Gu Wentian and said earnestly, “I promise you.”
　　”Thank you！”
　　Gu Wentian said slowly, “I observe that you are in the Delusion Tribulation Realm, and your qi, blood, meridians, physique, bones, and spiritual power have all far exceeded the limits of the Delusion Realm. If you continue down this path, reaching the Star-Plucking Realm might be extremely difficult.”
　　Ye　Wushuang　nodded.
　　”I have a method here that might help you reach the Star-Plucking Realm, but… I fear you will suffer quite a bit.”
　　”Let me hear it！”
　　”Follow me.”
　　Gu Wentian turned and walked toward the outskirts of the small valley.
　　Before long, the two appeared before a stone wall deep in the large valley.
　　Gu Wentian took the Bone Sword and swung it, slicing open the stone wall.
　　Then, a terrifying aura rushed forth, directly pressing against Ye Wushuang’s face.
　　Rolling waves of heat swept through.
　　A deafening roar erupted.
　　Looking closely, one could see raging flames and fiery energy surging like towering waves, layer upon layer.
　　Ahead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, unleashing an incredibly terrifying aura of slaughter.
　　Ye Wushuang stepped forward, his heart growing increasingly horrified.
　　”There’s the aura of earthfire, the pure essence of lightning…”
　　Gu Wentian nodded and said, “Indeed.”
　　”This place was formed when I once slew an enemy who had reached the Innate Sage Realm of the Saintly Heaven Realm. From their body, I extracted a strand of earthfire and the Spirit Lightning that had condensed a lightning core！”
　　”Later, while researching blood sacrifice techniques, I would often become irritable and would stay here to temper my mind.”
　　”Over time, this place became tainted with some of my negative emotions.”
　　”However, precisely because of this, the earthfire and Spirit Lightning merged with my emotions, forming a peculiar magnetic field. If you immerse yourself in it, the combined power of the earthfire, Spirit Lightning, and my negative emotions will surely catalyze a transformation in your spiritual energy.”
　　Gu Wentian said earnestly, “Of course, it”s also very dangerous. One misstep, and you could be overwhelmed by this powerful magnetic field of earthfire and Spirit Lightning. Not only might your spiritual energy fail to transform, but your meridians and bones could also be damaged—or worse, you might perish.”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh. “Isn”t every step of advancement in martial arts fraught with danger？”
　　Gu Wentian already knew what Ye Wushuang was thinking.
　　”In that case, as a token of gratitude, I’ll give you one last opportunity.”
　　Gu Wentian pointed a finger, and a red dot of light condensed between the bones in his brow.
　　The red light traveled from his brow to his fingertip, then Gu Wentian pointed at Ye Wushuang.
　　In　an　instant,
　　the red dot vanished into Ye Wushuang’s brow and disappeared without a trace.
　　”The essence of every Saint’s blood holds mysteries, especially the heart’s blood—more precious than vital blood. My revival and partial consciousness recovery are also thanks to this heart’s blood.”
　　”This heart’s blood is given to you—it should aid your breakthrough.”
　　Gu Wentian continued, “My wife and I are buried together here. This illusory land has existed for many years, but one day it will fade into history. When that time comes, my wife and I can rest eternally in the boundless void.”
　　”May you two reunite in the next life！”
　　”Thank you！”
　　With that, Gu Wentian turned and left.
　　Watching Gu Wentian head toward a wooden hut on the other side of the valley, Ye Wushuang sighed.
　　Then, he turned and stepped into the sea of lightning and fire ahead.
　　Success or not, he had to try！
　　As his foot crossed the threshold, the wall slowly closed behind him, and earth-shaking roars echoed endlessly from within the mountain…
　　For three full days,
　　Inside the stone wall, rumbling and shaking, earth-shattering.
　　At the same time.
　　Outside the stone wall, Zhou Yuan lounged leisurely on a bamboo chair, admiring the beautiful scenery around.
　　Suddenly.
　　A crack appeared in the stone wall, gradually widening, and then a figure stepped out.
　　His long hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered like rags, hanging loosely on his body.
　　Moreover, the surface of his body was covered with crisscrossing bloodstains, already scabbed over.
　　”Young Ye, are you alright？”
　　Seeing Ye Wushuang looking like a beggar, Zhou Yuan hastily stood up, his face filled with shock.
　　”Success！”
　　Ye Wushuang clenched his fists, and surging spiritual energy erupted from within him.
　　Success？
　　Zhou Yuan exclaimed in astonishment： “What succeeded？”
　　”Star-Plucking　Realm！　Mid-stage！”
　　Ye Wushuang’s aura erupted explosively at this moment, a powerful killing intent radiating outward.
　　Not just reaching the initial stage, but advancing to the mid-stage！
　　The fusion of earth fire, heavenly thunder, and a drop of Gu Wentian’s heartblood directly enabled Ye Wushuang to complete the transformation and sublimation of his spiritual energy, ascending to the Star-Plucking Realm, skipping the initial stage and reaching the mid-stage！
　　And this time, Ye Wushuang clearly felt the transformation throughout his entire body.
　　This is the true change of spiritual power.
　　Reckless I enter the Star-Plucking realm！
　　This step has been crossed.
　　And the greatest improvement was none other than the complete doubling and stacking of Ye Wushuang’s own physique, meridians, and bones.
　　Moreover…
　　The Yuan Thunder Nine Revolutions Art, which originally condensed ten Yuan Thunder Seals, not only did Ye Wushuang break through this time, but he also increased the number of Thunder Mansions opened to forty, and the number of Yuan Thunder Seals he could condense reached forty！
　　At the same time, the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame, under his guidance, devoured the Earth Flame behind the stone wall. Combined with the earlier fusion of the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame with a Heavenly Fire Essence Stone, the flame underwent two enhancements and also experienced a bizarre mutation.
　　Ye Wushuang could sense that although this flame had not yet reached the level of a Heavenly Fire, it… had already developed some spiritual awareness.
　　When this spiritual awareness fully evolves into complete thought, it will become a Fire Spirit, reaching the level of a Heavenly Fire.
　　The Four Symbols Earth Core Flame now possesses simple cognitive abilities, and given another opportunity, it can undergo a magnificent transformation into a Heavenly Fire！
　　Moreover, amidst the splendid transformation of his physique, Ye Wushuang successfully fused the Great Flame Body Tempering Art, which can now be considered fully mastered, reaching the second level.
　　The Great Flame Body Tempering Art is even more exaggerated and powerful than the Seven Revolutions Sacred Body Art.
　　This is an Emperor-grade Spiritual Art, comprehensively enhancing Ye Wushuang’s physical in every aspect.
　　This technique is divided into six layers in total.
　　It corresponds to the six minor realms of the Star-Plucking Transformation Stage, and with each layer advanced, the of Ye Wushuang’s own power gains an additional.
　　Advancing six layers means sixfold.
　　This is not only reflected in the moves of the Great Flame Tempering Body Art but also applies to Ye Wushuang’s cultivation of other Spiritual Arts, producing effects.
　　Moreover, now that this technique has reached the second layer, Ye Wushuang’s of fire, thunder, and lightning imbues his spiritual attacks with these three attributes. Combined with the moves of the Great Flame Tempering Body Art, the power is truly unparalleled！
　　Yet, for Ye Wushuang himself, the greatest surprise is not these…
