CHAPTER 291: CHAPTER 276 FUSION!

Placing the person-tall Stone King down, Wang Xu directly sealed the surrounding space.

"Seal." Once the space was shackled, anyone from the outside who wanted to enter would have to forcibly break through the space seal.

A sharp white light burst from Wang Xu’s fingertips.

"Inside the Stone King, just how big will the Wu Meng Spirit Essence be?" With an excited heart, Wang Xu began dissecting the Stone King.

This was destined to be a long process.

The Stone King had existed for countless years, and its outer Star Origin Stone Wall was harder than ordinary Star Origin Stone, with unknown depth. It had to be cut meticulously, requiring more energy and time than usual.

A full five hours passed.

"It’s Life Qi!" Wang Xu’s expression shifted, then excitement washed over his face. He dared not slow his hands and continued the dissection.

The Stone King was too large, and the Wu Meng Spirit Essence was irregular, making Wang Xu proceed with caution, not daring to damage the Wu Meng Spirit Essence the least bit.

Ai’ai, with big eyes wide open, propped her cheeks with her hands, accompanying Wang Xu in the dissection. Her little eyes sometimes gazed at the Stone King, sometimes at Wang Xu’s meticulous profile, causing a blush to involuntarily rise on her cheeks.

"The upper part is basically formed; next is the lower part." With a move of Wang Xu’s hand, the Stone King floated midair, then flipped upside down, and Wang Xu continued the dissection.

Until dawn the next day, Wang Xu finally withdrew the sharpness from his fingertips.

"It’s done!" Before Wang Xu was a miniature version of the Stone King, reduced in size by five or six times, yet still sixty centimeters tall, emanating a rich and pure Life Qi.

The Wu Meng Spirit Essence, such a large piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence!

Wang Xu’s heart surged, and after taking a deep breath, he stepped forward to press his finger into the stone crack, then gently pried it open.

Wow!

Misty light dispersed like a dream, intoxicating as it permeated the air. Just a whiff of the Life Qi was enough to invigorate one a hundredfold.

"Wow!!" Ai’ai’s eyes were full of little stars.

"Big brother, I want this, can you give it to me?" Ai’ai clung to Wang Xu’s arm, staring intently at the piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence, her eyes brimming with desire.

"Sure, but Ai’ai, you’ll have to trade me yours, how about that?"

"Okay!" Ai’ai handed the small piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence to Wang Xu, then pounced to hug the large piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence, giggling with joy, so utterly satisfied.

Wang Xu’s eyes twinkled, and he directly sat cross-legged, preparing to use the Wu Meng Spirit Essence!

Gently pressing the fist-sized Wu Meng Spirit Essence close to his body, a cool breath seeped through his skin, permeating into Wang Xu’s body, bringing a chilling sensation.

Wang Xu forcefully pressed the Wu Meng Spirit Essence into his body.

At this moment, the Wu Meng Spirit Essence seemed to transcend the void, directly merging into Wang Xu’s skin. The white-blue mist slowly entered Wang Xu’s body as he applied more pressure!

Boom——

The moment the Wu Meng Spirit Essence entered Wang Xu’s body, a vast surge of Life Qi erupted within him!

"Flesh, sinews, and internal organs are all sublimating!" His blood was boiling, humming, but it also activated the cells’ vitality, causing Wang Xu’s flesh and bones to undergo a huge transformation!

Within Wang Xu, all the stars in the Mixed Cosmos began shining with golden light.

No longer the ordinary starlight, it was golden, dazzling, noble, and splendid light.

The stars turned golden one by one, starting with 300 stars transforming, then 800, followed by 1400... until 2400 stars shone with golden light, nearly enveloping the Mixed Cosmos in a blaze of gold.

The specks of golden light stirred Wang Xu’s heart; these stars were once Wang Xu’s "Life Index."

The Life Index refers to how many life-containing stars were in Wang Xu’s Mixed Cosmos; the more life stars, the higher the Life Index.

The life index of the Main Wang Xu was "3162," representing 3162 life stars contained.

Though the Idol did not possess as high a Life Index as the Main, it had only "2422," but after sublimation by the Wu Meng Spirit Essence, the Idol’s Life Index shot up to "2536," and it was still climbing.

"2598."

"2637."

"2674."

...

Stars that were once lifeless lit up with golden light. Under the misty gold, these stars, previously unfit for life, began quietly transforming into life stars!

At this moment, Wang Xu felt like he was swimming in a comfortable ocean, moving freely, everything felt wonderful and warm, enveloping him in unprecedented warmth.

So this is what life’s sublimation feels like!

"The four Endless pieces of information... are becoming clearer, the Law Insights are loosening too, it seems reaching higher realms can now be done with ease!" As the white light transformed into gold, Idol Wang Xu found his mind clear, countless things that were once inscrutable now effortlessly resolved, no longer encountering any obstacles.

It was like pondering over a difficult problem endlessly without a solution, yet after using the Wu Meng Spirit Essence, his mind suddenly opened up, and he had a breakthrough in an instant!

"2714."

Finally, the golden light stopped, no longer increasing. Wang Xu’s Life Index had leaped from "2422" directly to "2714", a growth of 292 Life Index points, which quietly transformed Wang Xu’s Life Level.

Within the Mixed Cosmos, a sector of golden light shone brightly.

"The abundant Life Qi, the speed of absorbing Cosmic Energy, and the enhancement speed of Law Insights are all accelerating. This is the benefit brought by the Life Index." Wang Xu could clearly sense the changes in himself.

His strength hadn’t undergone any transformation, but within his cellular genes, a different brilliance had begun to emerge.

"Swordfish!" With a wave of his hand, Wang Xu made eighty-one Black Copper Plates appear.

"Crescent Moon!" Immediately after, Wang Xu summoned two Curved Moon Flying Sabers.

The Black Copper Plates and Curved Moon Flying Sabers revolved around Wang Xu, floating back and forth around his body, just as before, without any change.

"The Life Index not only didn’t enhance strength, but even the Spiritual Consciousness hasn’t improved?" Wang Xu experimented one by one, the impact power, control, and tenacity of the Spiritual Consciousness hadn’t changed at all compared to before.

But Wang Xu kept trying bit by bit, cultivating according to the Spiritual Sense Secret Technique of "Spiritual Line Unity".

Time passed slowly, about two hours later.

"Got it!" Wang Xu’s eyes lit up, "It’s improved; the control power of the Spiritual Consciousness has begun to enhance!"

The change was extremely subtle, almost imperceptible, but under Wang Xu’s meticulous and attentive manipulation, he still felt this tiny change.

"Two hours."

"Just two hours is enough to match the training intensity of the previous two months. Is this the benefit of Life Index enhancement?"

Don’t underestimate this subtle change; Wang Xu needed to train diligently for two months to achieve this slight progress in Spiritual Consciousness.

And now, after the Life Index enhancement, two months were directly shortened to two hours, and the improvement of Spiritual Consciousness was very noticeable!

Wang Xu’s heart surged with excitement.

The enhancement of the Life Index brings about a transformation in aptitude, allowing the originally decent aptitude in Spiritual Consciousness of the Holy Statue Wang Xu to further ascend to a higher level, accelerating cultivation!

"The Holy Statue experiment is over; it’s time for the main body." Wang Xu used the Holy Statue to test the Wu Meng Spirit Essence to prevent any mishaps.

Now that the Holy Statue had received such benefits, Wang Xu naturally was eager to elevate the Life Level of the main body, thereby enhancing his strength.

Wang Xu walked to Ai’ai’s side, squatted down, and patted her head: "Ai’ai, big brother needs this stone now, can you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Ai’ai’s face tensed as she hugged the large piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence tightly: "Big brother, you gave it to me, how can you take it back? You said it was for me...how...how can you take it back..."

Ai’ai pouted, and as she spoke, her big eyes turned red, with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Ai’ai, don’t cry, this..." Wang Xu, a cultivation fanatic who didn’t care about worldly affairs and spent most of his time alone, had no idea how to handle the crying Ai’ai, feeling completely helpless and flustered.

"Alright, alright, big brother won’t take it, don’t cry, Ai’ai!" Wang Xu surrendered, having to temporarily give up.

Upon hearing this, Ai’ai stopped crying, wiped her red eyes, and revealed a smile: "Big brother is the best to Ai’ai!"

Looking at the large piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence that Ai’ai held in her arms but couldn’t give up, Wang Xu sighed helplessly.

......

Two years later.

The room was silent, with warm sunlight filtering through the window, casting Wang Xu’s silhouette onto the floor.

Beside Wang Xu, eighty-one Copper Plates and two Curved Moon Flying Sabers swiftly circled him, brushing past his armpits, chest, and neck, seemingly dangerous but never touching a hair on him.

Over these two years, Wang Xu continuously cultivated his Spiritual Consciousness, and the enhancement of the Life Index had comprehensively improved his control, impact, and tenacity of Spiritual Consciousness.

Two years ago, if Wang Xu controlled eighty-one Copper Plates to attack an enemy, the power of the Curved Moon Flying Sabers would be greatly restricted and diminished.

But as of today, two years later, Wang Xu could control the eighty-one Black Copper Plates to form nine small swordfish for attacking while still being able to unleash the equivalent power of the Curved Moon Flying Sabers, enough to threaten existences in the Demigod Chaos Realm!

"Collect!" With a thought, Wang Xu commanded the eighty-one Copper Plates to enter the storage compartment of the Mechanical Warriors, while the Curved Moon Flying Sabers were hung on the back of the Mechanical Warriors.

"Ai’ai, let’s go." With a wave, Wang Xu called Ai’ai, who was clad in Mechanical Warriors and playing games with a clone, to joyfully skip over, grabbing Wang Xu’s large hand to leave the room together.

On the street.

Ordinary beings were nowhere to be seen, and all the Wu Meng Warriors were rapidly heading in one direction.

The Void Hall Auction House.

Today was the first day of the auction, which attracted a full ten thousand Wu Meng Warriors.

"Wow, so many people!" It was an open-air stand, with tiered seating rising, the highest point reaching as high as three hundred meters. Wang Xu brought Ai’ai into the auction, securing a place about two hundred meters up. (To be continued.
