The Mechanical Combat Body, holding the Infinite Godslaying Spear, emerged from the void and stood quietly beside Gao Xuan.

Yuanbao peeked at the Mechanical Combat Body with big curious eyes.

Yet the Mechanical Combat Body's all-metal armor structure appeared tough and somewhat grim. Its two eyes radiated a dark red glow, looking quite intimidating.

Yuanbao's Divine Sense couldn't penetrate the Mechanical Combat Body, unsure if it was a magical artifact puppet or a living person.

She was somewhat afraid of the Mechanical Combat Body and clutched Gao Xuan's sleeve, asking, "Senior Brother, what is this?"

"A magical artifact."

"So strange," Yuanbao muttered, looking at Gao Xuan with puzzled eyes.

The Senior Brother's transformation was so significant that she could barely recognize him. This made her feel uneasy inside.

Gao Xuan understood Yuanbao's puzzlement and unease. He patted her on the head, "Senior Brother has awakened memories from a past life, which is why I have this body. Rest assured, Senior Brother is still Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Yuanbao felt much more at ease. She hugged Gao Xuan happily, saying, "As long as Senior Brother hasn't changed. I'm so afraid you'll become someone else..."

Shui Qingbo stood by, lost in thought but saying nothing.

She always felt that Gao Xuan's actions were mature and meticulous, possessing a shrewdness beyond his years.

Gao Xuan's explanation made everything make sense, but Shui Qingbo still didn't fully believe it.

However, Gao Xuan having secrets wasn't important. What mattered was Gao Xuan treating her well enough. Even if Gao Xuan were a demon, she would steadfastly follow him.

The vast Cultivator World is essentially summed up in four words: survival of the fittest.

The Xuanzhen Sect is such, and the Profound Emperor Sect is such too. Cultivators are the most selfish beings. For the sake of cultivation, they would trample over all worldly rules.

Meeting Gao Xuan was her luck.

Precisely because Shui Qingbo understood these, she didn't question Gao Xuan. No matter who Gao Xuan was reincarnated from, whatever his adventures or uniqueness were, it didn't matter.

Yuanbao asked, "We've made enemies with the Profound Emperor Sect; I'm afraid they won't let it go. Senior Brother, what will we do?"

Having witnessed the might of the Twelve Profound City Celestial Demons, Yuanbao had deep respect for the Profound Emperor Sect.

Although Gao Xuan won, who knows how many experts the Profound Emperor Sect has.

Gao Xuan nodded and said, "The Profound Emperor Sect is powerful, with a Mahayana Dao Venerable presiding. We don't need to fight to the death with them."

"Then where will we go?" Yuanbao asked.

"The world is vast and endless; we are Nascent Soul True Monarchs, there's nowhere we can't go..."

Gao Xuan looked at Shui Qingbo, "What about you, Junior Sister?"

Shui Qingbo resolutely said, "Wherever Senior Brother goes, I go."

"Good."

Gao Xuan flicked his sleeve, releasing a Cyan Wood Flying Boat, he took Yuanbao and Shui Qingbo aboard.

The Flying Boat rose with the wind, heading straight for the vast endless East Sea.

Yuanbao looked at the motionless Mechanical Combat Body and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, why isn't it moving?"

Gao Xuan smiled, "It's already done its task, it should go home."

Yuanbao seemed to understand somewhat, she glanced at Shui Qingbo, who slightly shook her head.

Yuanbao couldn't figure it out, so she stopped trying, tightly holding Gao Xuan's hand, thinking, "As long as Senior Brother is here..."

The Flying Boat soared into the Cyan Sky, breaking through clouds like cotton, leaving behind long wave-like cloud trails.

But Gao Xuan was excited and soaring, standing at the front of the Flying Boat, reciting loudly: "A bit of Spiritual Light illuminates thousands of laws, breaking through delusions to see true forms. People come to question the Way, with no further words, the bright moon shines on clouds and stars..."

Yuanbao and Shui Qingbo were captivated as they looked at Gao Xuan. They didn't quite understand what Gao Xuan was saying, only feeling his elegance and grace, truly like an Immortal.

As this body recited poetry, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul was already driving the Mechanical Combat Body, transforming into a beam of black light and soaring away.

In an instant, Gao Xuan's Divine Soul shuddered, and when he regained consciousness, the surroundings had completely changed.

Raising his eyes, he saw countless colorful Divine Lights shimmering in the deep blue starry sky, with chaotic clusters of light scattered in all directions.

Beneath him was a massive dark green leaf exuding a strong sense of decay, seemingly long dead.

Gao Xuan summoned a Water Mirror and then saw himself in the reflection. Clad in a pure black Mechanical Combat Body, his eyes glowed a dark red. He held a Dark Gold Long Spear three meters long in his hand.

Under his Spiritual Power control, the Mechanical Combat Body silently disassembled, revealing his true form.

The Gao Xuan in the Water Mirror had features of unparalleled handsomeness, deep and endless dark blue pupils, with countless minute lights shining within, like billions of stars.

The silver Celestial Spirit Armor formed by Celestial Spirit Sword Qi shone radiantly. The armor's design was elegant and beautiful. This body wearing this set of Celestial Spirit Armor truly seemed like an Invincible Divine General from the Nine Heavens.

Facing the Water Mirror, Gao Xuan touched his face, feeling a bit puzzled: "Am I actually this handsome? How can I be this handsome?"

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada followed with a high chirp, seemingly proud as well.

To be honest, Gao Xuan had spent too much time in the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada's world. After several reincarnations, it felt like he had lived several lives.

So much so that he felt estranged from the original world and even his own body.

Seeing his image in the Water Mirror, Gao Xuan was both surprised and amazed that his true form was so handsome; he had almost forgotten.

Seeing himself again, he was quite amazed.

Gao Xuan sighed, "I'm so handsome, how can other men in the Alliance live, how can the beauties live?"

Compared to his memory of himself, Gao Xuan felt that his temperament had improved once again.

In numerous different worlds' experiences, this physical body gained nothing. But his Divine Soul progressed immensely.

Having experienced more, seen more, his wisdom and insight greatly enhanced. His outward demeanor had gained more mystery, wisdom, elegance, and grandeur.

Gao Xuan looked at the water mirror for a few seconds, then decisively turned it off.

This face could be seen for days without getting tired. But just staring at his reflection would be too narcissistic.

Appearance is not important; what's important is the Divine Soul, the inner substance.

Gao Xuan busied himself all this time just for the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada. He used his Spiritual Power to inspect internally and saw the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada in his sea of consciousness.

The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada hadn't fused with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada but was positioned above it, with a small body like white jade, and occasionally flashes of Spiritual Light flickered in its raised eyes.

Gao Xuan was delighted. After all this effort, he had finally managed to refine the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada. However, it was still in an independent state, which was very different from his initial expectations.

The current state of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada should signify it is in harmony with the Divine Soul, recognizing him as its master. Yet, it hadn't fused with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, proving he hadn't thoroughly refined it.

This was a bit troublesome...

Gao Xuan could establish a stable connection with the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada through the Soul Chain but couldn't control it nor actively gain any information from it.

Put simply, he possessed the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada but wasn't yet qualified to control it deeply.

It's like bringing home a new bride, looking like a Celestial Immortal, exceptionally intelligent, but with a big temper that doesn't allow intimacy...

While excited, Gao Xuan also felt a bit of regret. But no matter what, as long as it was with him, it would yield to him sooner or later.

The more it resisted, the more interested he became.

The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada was very mystical, allowing him to traverse different universes. Especially the last Cultivator World, where it could establish connections between two universes through the Soul Chain.

Gao Xuan's Divine Soul had returned, but he could still control that body's synchronization in the Cultivator World. That body amounted to his avatar.

Of course, for Gao Xuan, this avatar didn't require deliberate control. When necessary, he would activate the Soul Chain, allowing his entire Divine Soul to enter the body in the Cultivator World.

However, Gao Xuan didn't want to do this anytime soon.

First, the risk was too great. With the Alliance on this side in urgent need, he didn't have the time to be distracted by other things.

Only after dealing with Virtual Godhood, taking care of several major hidden alien race organizations within the Alliance, and a few powerful Evil Gods, would he have time for other things.

Moreover, crossing over again carried technical risks. Without the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, Gao Xuan wasn't sure if such a transfer was safe.

Gao Xuan opened his data panel, noting that his other data hadn't changed, except his Spiritual Power had increased by two points, reaching as high as 44 points.

This equated to a doubling of Spiritual Power. This growth rate was extremely exaggerated.

However, the massive increase in Spiritual Power wasn't without cause. Instead, it came from Gao Xuan undergoing numerous trials in the Nine Revolutions World, where his Divine Soul had a fundamental enhancement. The fusion of the Undying Golden Cicada and the Mechanical Battle Cicada into the Six-winged Celestial Cicada allowed his Divine Soul to fundamentally uplift.

The significant progress of the Divine Soul naturally pulled up the increase in Spiritual Power.

From Gao Xuan's view, the increase of two points of Spiritual Power wasn't particularly exaggerated. The fundamental improvement of the Divine Soul hadn't been fully manifested.

Even so, Gao Xuan felt satisfied.

Gao Xuan believed the true value of trials wasn't the enhancement of the Divine Soul level, nor the surge in Spiritual Power, but the improvement in his wisdom and insight.

Besides, Gao Xuan also brought back the Infinite Godslaying Spear.

The Infinite Godslaying Spear retained its original physical properties in the Star River World, with no issues in the Source Power conversion aspect.

Gao Xuan felt that due to the subtle differences in the laws of the two universes, the quality of the Infinite Godslaying Spear had dropped a notch.

Even so, the Infinite Godslaying Spear was still much higher than the level of the Hongyi Sword. Its specific might also exceeded that in the Cultivator World.

This was also a difference between the two universes.

Without a doubt, the Infinite Godslaying Spear was the most powerful weapon Gao Xuan had.

The Eight Extremes Divine Weapon was strong but had many limitations. In terms of actual combat power, it wasn't as formidable as the Infinite Godslaying Spear.

Yet the Infinite Godslaying Spear was both long and large, not quite fitting his physical demeanor. It was best for the Mechanical Combat Body to wield it.

With the Soul Chain, the Mechanical Combat Body too became another avatar for Gao Xuan. Using it was like using his own arm. When not in use, it could be stored in the sea of consciousness.

When needed, it could be unleashed to stab someone from behind, bringing plenty of opportunities for mischief.

Gao Xuan withdrew the Mechanical Combat Body, and the Celestial Spirit Armor on him transformed into a silver long robe with wide sleeves.

With his soaring Spiritual Power and robust Divine Soul, there was no longer a need to be fully armed all the time. The armor that turned into a Sword Robe changed its style, with defense even stronger than before.

If necessary, Gao Xuan could always activate the Mechanical Combat Body.

Gao Xuan organized his gains and then glanced at the personal intelligent terminal.

The standard time now was January 17, 3020, and his Divine Soul had spent over three months in the Nine Revolutions World, which wasn't very long to speak of.

Gao Xuan calculated that there was still time. With a flick of his sleeve, he transformed into a mass of silver light and pierced through the void.
