The next day.
Have you heard? Xie Xun, the deputy head of the Explosion Gang, took his nine disciples at the first stage of the Star Force realm into Bailingsan Mountain early this morning. All of them were carried out looking extremely miserable - some missing arms, some missing legs. Xie Xun was the worst. His whole body was burned black and still unrecognizable. No one knows who did it. Xie Xun refuses to say anything about it.
Who else could it be? Don't you know Xie Xun went into Bailingsan to teach Ye Xiu a lesson yesterday?
You're saying it's Ye Xiu? That's impossible! Xie Xun is at the fourth stage of the Star Force realm. With his full power, he has the strength of ten thousand catties.
There were endless discussions.
Other than Ye Xiu, no one could think of anyone else daring enough to do this. After all, it was the Explosion Gang. Not many would dare provoke them.
But even with the guesses, the vast majority didn't believe Ye Xiu did it.
Ye Xiu was at most in the Star realm. Facing the ten people of the Explosion Gang who were already in the Star Force realm, he had no power to fight back.
Could it be that Ye Xiu had some powerful backer?
There were all kinds of speculation, but no one understood why Xie Xun remained silent about the whole affair.
In the courtyard.
Ye Xiu sat quietly in meditation. The energy within his body became increasingly majestic. Even from several meters away, one could feel the formidable power emanating from Ye Xiu's body.
At this moment, Ye Xiu slowly let out a breath and smiled involuntarily. It seemed comprehending the first layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Formula was becoming more difficult.
Hmm? Mo Lao walked in from outside, holding two cups of hot tea. He asked, "Holy son, could you have encountered some trouble?"
Ye Xiu frowned and said dejectedly, "Yes, I've been cultivating the first layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Formula all night, but it's not as easy as the first time. It seems much more difficult now."
Mo Lao smiled and comforted, "Holy son, you've finally returned to normal. Don't be impatient. The Myriad Star Celestial Formula becomes more difficult the further you cultivate. Even when the Dream Spirit Immortal succeeded in cultivating it completely, it took her a full three years."
Ye Xiu nodded and sighed, "You're right. To fully comprehend just the first layer will probably take another eight or nine days for me."
Pfff!
Mo Lao had just taken a sip of the hot tea and instantly spat it out.
"What's wrong, Mo Lao? Did you burn your mouth?" Ye Xiu asked in puzzlement.
Mo Lao put down his teacup, looking at Ye Xiu with trembling eyes, "No, holy son, what did you just say?"
"I said it would probably take another eight or nine days to fully comprehend the first layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Formula." Ye Xiu got up calmly and stretched lazily.
Ye Xiu spoke so calmly, but Mo Lao was not calm at all internally.
It had taken the Dream Spirit Immortal three full years to barely cultivate the first layer. Yet from the holy son's mouth, he said it would only take eight or nine more days to completely comprehend it.
"Holy son, how many stars did you comprehend last night?" Mo Lao asked anxiously.
Ye Xiu sighed, "Too few, I'm embarrassed to say it, probably just around twenty."
"I really don't know what's wrong with me. Last time I comprehended ten stars in ten minutes. But this time it took me a whole night."
"It seems I was too boastful before about cultivating being as easy as eating and sleeping." Ye Xiu shook his head.
Hearing this, Mo Lao almost vomited blood. You call that slow?
Mo Lao didn't think it was slow at all. This speed was faster than a damned rocket!
No matter who looked at it, it could be called a heaven-defying speed. But in the holy son's eyes, it was too slow instead.
And this was not cultivating being as easy as eating and sleeping? Then what would be?
One night of meditation was essentially comprehending while sleeping. Even so, directly comprehending twenty stars, that was two hundred thousand catties of power!
Mo Lao grabbed Ye Xiu's shoulders with his calloused hands. Ye Xiu was startled, but saw Mo Lao extremely excited.
"Holy son, you really are a heaven-sent genius!"
"Comprehending twenty stars in one night!"
Ye Xiu was confused. Mo Lao, why are you so excited? You should know my power is at least over ten thousand catties now.
Mo Lao laughed loudly, "Holy son, there are some things you don't know. The reason no one has succeeded in fully cultivating the Myriad Star Celestial Formula after the disappearance of the Celestial Sovereign is precisely because it requires a massive amount of time and heaven-defying comprehension ability. Both are indispensable!"
"Even just the first layer of the Myriad Star Celestial Formula becomes increasingly difficult to comprehend more stars. Take the Dream Spirit Immortal for example - it took her three years to succeed in the first layer, which was already surpassing countless elders in the Celestial Sovereign Palace. She was undisputedly first. But of those three years, she spent two whole years on just the last thirty stars. You can see how difficult it was."
"Yet holy son, in just one short night, you comprehended twenty stars. This is already unmatched and heaven-defying!"
Despite Mo Lao speaking so excitedly, Ye Xiu was not happy at all. Comprehending only twenty stars in one night was still far from enough.
"That's right, Mo Lao, can you check how much power I have now?" Ye Xiu stood up as his stellar power surged.
Mo Lao smiled, "Holy son, punch me and I'll get a rough idea."
Punch you? Mo Lao, are you sure you'll be alright? After all, Ye Xiu also knew his power was at least over ten thousand catties now.
Mo Lao patted his chest, "Holy son, don't look down on me. Before following the Nine Immortals, I was already at the Star Emperor realm. At that time, even the Nine Immortals had not been born yet."
"It's just that, my talent was limited in the end. I could only reach Star Emperor and go no further."
Mo Lao gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Ye Xiu was somewhat stunned. One should know, a Star Emperor powerhouse would be an elder even in the Celestial Sovereign Palace.
And even in their Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, there was only one true Star Emperor - the Supreme Emperor.
This showed how powerful the Star Emperor realm was.
Ye Xiu looked solemnly at Mo Lao and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mo Lao. When I grow up, I will definitely help you break through the shackles of the Star Emperor realm!"
Mo Lao smiled gratifyingly, "Being able to see the holy son grow up, I will have no regrets even in death."
Ye Xiu clenched his fists tightly, determined. To be honest, he had been quite fierce to Mo Lao initially. But after spending these days together, Mo Lao was like a grandfather to him, caring for him attentively in every way.
"Mo Lao, here I come." Ye Xiu clenched his fist tightly as stellar power surged on his knuckles.
Mo Lao stood casually. "Holy son, just go ahead and strike."
Ye Xiu took a big step forward, the ground rumbling loudly. His punch containing tremendous power struck directly at Mo Lao's chest.
Boom!
The punch landed and time seemed to stop. The fist froze against Mo Lao's chest.
Mo Lao frowned, then was suddenly astonished!
At this moment, Ye Xiu hurriedly withdrew his hand, waving it around frantically while screaming wretchedly, "Oww, so painful!"
Only then did Mo Lao's voice slowly fall.
"Holy son, you've already reached nine hundred thousand catties of power!"
Only after that did Mo Lao notice Ye Xiu's hand had swollen into the size of a pig's trotter.
Mo Lao quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, holy son. I forgot my body is too tough."
Ye Xiu:
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.
