Gu Xinger Breaks Through

Night fell.

At the peak of Tianyuan Mountain, an ancient tree of unknown age stood with thick branches and a canopy like a massive umbrella.

Gu Changyuan leaned against a thick branch, his back resting on the trunk, with one leg dangling casually and swaying gently.

Before him lay his own residence, surrounded by the houses of his twelve disciples.

Gu Xing'er was sleeping soundly on his bed, her little brows slightly furrowed, breathing evenly, looking incredibly well-behaved.

Above the room, specks of pure white starlight power drifted down like crushed jade, slowly gathering and flowing toward the direction of Gu Xing'er.

Wisps and threads of it silently seeped into the room, nourishing her body.

Gu Changyuan's gaze fell upon the surrounding ten mountain peaks.

Many pavilions were still brightly lit. Some disciples were cultivating, some were sparring, and others gathered in small groups of three or five to chat.

The entire Holy Land was bustling, yet it exuded a reassuring sense of order.

Looking at this familiar and warm scenery, Gu Changyuan felt an incomparable peace in his heart.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Boom!

From Gu Changyuan's room, a dazzling pillar of pure white light instantly smashed through the roof and shot into the clouds. It pierced the veil of the night, its light clear and blinding, illuminating the entire peak of Tianyuan Mountain as if it were broad daylight.

Gu Changyuan immediately sat up straight. His laziness vanished as his sharp gaze fell upon his room.

He saw that Gu Xing'er had already sat up. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her entire body was bathed in the pillar of light. Spiritual energy surged around her, and her aura climbed steadily.

She broke through to the Nascent Soul realm just like that?

Gu Changyuan stroked his chin.

He carefully sensed the changes within Gu Xing'er's body. A Nascent Soul was forming, her foundation was solid, without a single trace of instability.

Focusing his senses, he clearly detected that not only was a Nascent Soul quietly forming inside Gu Xing'er, radiating pure and powerful spiritual energy.

There was also a divine soul power far exceeding that of cultivators her age slowly revolving, its fluctuations growing increasingly intense.

Is this about to fuse her divine souls?

Gu Changyuan frowned slightly.

His divine sense instantly expanded, and a sliver of his divine soul silently entered Gu Xing'er's sea of consciousness.

Gu Xing'er's entire sea of consciousness had expanded significantly compared to before.

Countless tiny specks of starlight floated around, slowly circulating and emitting a faint spiritual glow.

Occasionally, a shooting star would streak across, leaving a long trail.

Right in the center of the sea of consciousness, two clusters of divine souls were slowly approaching each other.

Their bodies were curled up, like infants still in the womb.

Each was enveloped by a transparent sphere of light, which emitted a soft halo, protecting the two divine souls within.

The two looked exactly identical.

One belonged to that girl from the Wei family, a divine soul in a deep slumber.

The other was the divine soul named Gu Xing'er, which the Chaotic Star Spirit Physique had naturally birthed to prevent a soul collapse.

The two divine souls slowly drew near. The transparent light spheres gradually merged without the slightest resistance, instead exuding an innate sense of harmony.

As they aligned and fused bit by bit, for every fraction they grew closer, the divine soul power surrounding Gu Xing'er grew stronger, and her sea of consciousness became increasingly stable.

In the outside world.

That pillar of light shot into the clouds, splitting the night sky in two.

The starry sky on the left appeared a deep, dark blue with sparse stars and a cold light, like a slumbering sea of stars.

The starry sky on the right was a dazzling mix of gold and silver, densely packed with stars and blazing with light, as if countless star rivers were flowing within.

The two patches of starry sky were distinctly separated by the pillar of light, yet they faintly echoed each other.

Within the light pillar, fine starlight flowed slowly, pulling and merging the stellar power from both sides.

The magnificent sight prompted many disciples of the Holy Land to step out of their rooms and look up.

However, ever since the Holy Ancestor returned, heaven and earth anomalies would occasionally appear in the Holy Land. There were law resonances, heavenly rainfalls...

The disciples were already used to it.

But this was their first time seeing such a peculiar and magnificent starry sky anomaly. The crowd still could not help but gather to watch, whispering among themselves with eyes full of awe.

Gu Xing'er's commotion naturally caught the attention of Gu Changyuan's disciples.

Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi walked out of their rooms. Their gazes uniformly fell upon the central pillar of light and the bizarre starry sky above, their expressions complex.

The dominant thought in their minds was not amazement at the grandeur of the anomaly, but rather a heart full of disbelief. This cultivation speed was way too fast!

Eleven years old, Nascent Soul!

Eleven years old!

How were the two of them, who only stepped into the Nascent Soul realm in their twenties, supposed to feel?!

They had painstakingly cultivated for three years and had not even reached the Soul Formation realm yet.

Meanwhile, this girl spent her days eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping. At night, she just lay in bed, and her cultivation level would shoot up on its own.

You cannot just play like this, right?

The expressions of the brother and sister at this moment. One wanted to cry but had no tears, the other was completely silent, but their thoughts were written all over their faces.

Gu Changyuan saw this clearly from the tree. His figure blurred, and with a swish, he appeared beside the two of them.

So, after watching for so long, what are your thoughts?

Jun Anshi pulled a long face.

Master, it is not fair, is it? How is Gu Xing'er improving so fast? I am going to be completely crushed by this blow.

Jun Mukong did not speak, but his expression clearly said.

Did you not say we have top-tier Dao physiques?

Why is our improvement not even as fast as a child's?

Gu Changyuan chuckled softly.

Gu Changyuan could not help but chuckle softly. He reached out and patted their shoulders, his tone softening.

Alright, alright, I will not tease you anymore.

Actually, the Chaotic Star Spirit Physique naturally improves much faster than other Dao physiques.

Although you both have Dao physiques and extraordinary talent, your physiques rely on the nourishment of spatial and temporal powers. In this world, the power of space and time is not found just anywhere, so your cultivation is naturally a bit slower.

As for Gu Xing'er's Chaotic Star Spirit Physique, as long as it is night, it can automatically absorb the power of the stars to cultivate.

Without needing to deliberately meditate, accumulating day by day, her speed naturally far exceeds yours.

Gu Changyuan paused and continued.

Furthermore, Gu Xing'er awakened her Chaotic Star Spirit Physique at the age of eight and began absorbing star power from a young age. You two only awakened your Holy Physiques and officially stepped onto the path of cultivation in your twenties. Your starting points are completely different.

If you had started at eight years old and been nourished with the same resources, your improvement speed might not necessarily be much slower than Gu Xing'er's.

So there is no need to worry too much, nor should you belittle yourselves.

Besides, who gets competitive with an eleven-year-old child?

Gu Changyuan added finally. As he spoke, he reached out and lightly tapped each of them on the head.

Jun Anshi pouted. Thinking about it, it made sense, so she stopped dwelling on it.

Jun Mukong nodded silently, and the slight gloom in his eyes mostly dissipated.

As the three spoke, the pillar of light persisted.

Above Gu Xing'er's room, the band of starlight grew wider and brighter, expanding toward the regions beyond the Holy Land.
