"...," Wang Xiu was speechless for a mont, then couldn’t help but laugh.
You tell not to look, but what’s the use of turning around and covering your own eyes? Besides, I created this spiritual body inch by inch. I know its structure far better than you do. Is one more glance really going to make a difference?
He chuckled to himself, yet he still turned around as instructed. After walking a distance away, he said, "Alright, Senior Sister, you can start now!"
Luo Qingyi timidly glanced back and saw that Wang Xiu had indeed moved far away.
Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief. Lightly patting her full chest, her body began to glow. A faint soul light flew out from within her, leaving Luo Hongyi’s body and landing on the spiritual one.
BUZZ!
In an instant, the spiritual body began to glow as countless runes lit up. Torrents of Spirit Essence Soul Force surged from the heavens and the earth, rging into it.
The spiritual body’s eyes opened, and the entire figure instantly ca to life. Its pupils revealed the unique clarity and vitality of a young girl.
She was incredibly curious. Spreading her hands, she looked down at her new body with unrestrained joy. "I have my own body now... I have my own body now..."
Wang Xiu turned around, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, and said earnestly, "Congratulations, Senior Sister!"
Luo Qingyi’s eyes grew red and teary. Like a young swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself into Wang Xiu’s arms, hugging him tightly. Her delicate body trembled nonstop as she stamred, "Thank you, Junior Brother... Thank you..."
Wang Xiu gently stroked her back, offering a few words of consolation.
Luo Qingyi was so moved that she was rendered speechless.
For many years, she had shared a body with Luo Hongyi. Although she never complained and always appeared optimistic, both she and Luo Hongyi knew it was not a long-term solution.
Sooner or later, Luo Qingyi would disappear, either pushed out by Luo Hongyi’s Divine Soul or automatically devoured. Because of this, Luo Hongyi hadn’t even dared to advance her Realm too quickly, always suppressing her progress.
Now, the problem that had plagued them for so many years was finally solved.
Luo Hongyi was also deeply moved, her eyes brimming with tears. She was about to say sothing when realization dawned, and she strode forward to pull Wang Xiu away. "Let go... Sister, put so clothes on first..."
"Ah—" Luo Qingyi looked down and nearly died of embarrassnt on the spot, her whole body flushing pink.
How could I forget about that again? I’m going to die! This is more than just being seen naked... This is so mortifying!
Despite both sisters knowing that this body was crafted bit by bit by Wang Xiu and held no secrets from him, it was different now. Before, it was just a mindless spiritual body. Now, it had beco Luo Qingyi’s body, and letting her stand there naked was absolutely unacceptable.
She hurriedly concentrated her soul force, manifesting a long, green dress that covered her alluring fra. The blush on her face, however, did not fade so quickly.
"Ahem..." Wang Xiu touched his nose, acutely aware of the awkwardness. "Well, Senior Sisters, you two must have a lot to talk about. You go ahead and chat, I’ll... I’ll just head over there..."
With that, he took off like a shot, leaving two stunning beauties watching his retreating figure with faces flushed in shy annoyance.

Returning to the space above Nurturing Soul Cliff, he found the area was still bustling with activity.
"Godfather, you’re finally out! Co on, I can still eat more!" a prodigy shouted eagerly upon seeing Wang Xiu appear.
[Ding!]
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 99!]
"This Spirit Essence is a true Precious dicine for the Divine Soul! Miss this chance and there won’t be another. Godfather, I can eat ten more!"
[Ding!]
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 111!]
"I’m not full yet, I can still eat more! Don’t stop, keep it coming... BURP..."
[Ding!]
[Detected soone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 136!]
"..."
While Spirit Essence was good, it couldn’t be devoured endlessly. One had to consider if their Divine Soul could withstand it. Otherwise, a tonic could easily beco a poison.
These young prodigies had almost never specially cultivated their Divine Souls, and it was rare for them to consu any heavenly treasures that could enhance it. Most of them were stuffed after consuming just one or two portions, their bodies glowing. When they opened their mouths, they’d spray out colorful light. For so, it was even worse; unable to swallow everything, the Spirit Essence began seeping out of their nostrils, mouths, and ears, as if trying to escape.
Yet each of them was more stubborn than the last, refusing to admit defeat.
Wang Xiu saw this but didn’t expose them, continuing to distribute the soul force from within Nurturing Soul Cliff.
However, before they could absorb much more, so of them began to collapse.
"PFFT... I can’t do it... I’m too full... So sleepy, I need to sleep..." one of the prodigies stamred as he collapsed to the ground, his eyes dizzy as he panted heavily. As he spoke, colorful light emanated from all seven of his orifices, shrouding his entire head in a halo.
"Ah—I can’t take any more either!" Li Zuoyue sprawled on the ground, clutching his abdon and gasping for breath, unwilling to move even a finger.
His abdon was still flat; he was just instinctively making the gesture of being full. In reality, it was his Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness that were full. A wave of drowsiness swept over him, just like after a heavy al, signaling the need to digest and refine the energy.
"You’re done already? Isn’t that a waste? Wasting is shaful!" Wang Xiu remarked. Then his Divine Soul left his body. With a great sweep of his hand, he absorbed all the remaining Spirit Essence Soul Force in Nurturing Soul Cliff, seemingly swallowing it into his stomach but actually storing it away for later use.
Everyone watched in a daze.
"Senior Brother is truly ferocious! To think he can ingest so much Spirit Essence without his body exploding!"
"I feel like he still has energy to spare!"
"Truly, the capable know no bounds... He’s simply heaven-defying!"
They were already overwheld after consuming just a few portions of Spirit Essence, yet Wang Xiu had ingested at least eighty percent of all the Spirit Essence on Nurturing Soul Cliff by himself, without showing the slightest sign of being full. It felt as if he could devour another Nurturing Soul Cliff entirely.
He was utterly terrifying, fiercer than the Fierce Beasts of old.

rely absorbing the Spirit Essence wasn’t enough; it also had to be refined.
For the next few days, Nurturing Soul Cliff was exceptionally quiet, with almost no trace of movent. Everyone was busy digesting their gains. This expanse of the void was filled with swirling runes, starlight like a vast sea, and a colorful, hazy mist that was srizing to behold.
Wang Xiu used most of the Spirit Essence he had swallowed to condense his incarnations. He didn’t need to use it to strengthen his own Divine Soul directly. As long as he accumulated enough soul power to continuously condense incarnations and let them cultivate, his Divine Soul would naturally grow stronger. This was the ridiculously overpowered aspect of the Great Luo Supre Divine Sense.
The remaining unrefined energy in his body was used to nourish Nie Linglan.
The pure Spirit Essence was devoured by Nie Linglan. Having just beco the Artifact Spirit of a Holy Artifact, her strength was already in a phase of rapid improvent. Now, her Cultivation Level surged once more, rising swiftly until she soon reached the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
She bathed in the abundant essence, her skin glowing like jade, fairer than snow, and bewitchingly beautiful.
Wang Xiu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

RUMBLE... GRIND...
Three days later, a group of prodigies gathered, looking up at the giant rock where Wang Xiu sat cross-legged. A blood-red Holy Sword floated before him, constantly emitting ripples. For the past few days, the mountain had been shaking with a rhythmic booming.
"What kind of peerless technique do you think Senior Brother Wang Xiu is cultivating? This commotion is huge, and it’s been going on for three days!" a curious prodigy exclaid.
"Senior Brother Wang Xiu possesses many mysterious legacies. He’s unfathomable. How could we possibly guess?" a female prodigy said with a pout. Her graceful posture and gorgeous appearance made it clear she had beco one of Wang Xiu’s most passionate fans.
"Why does this rhythm feel so familiar? I feel like I’ve encountered it sowhere before," Huang Yunchong mused, stroking his chin. The feeling was intense.
Zhang Yuge’s eyes lit up. "You have? Where?"
Uncertain, Huang Yunchong suggested, "Vermilion Bird City... the All Fragrances Garden?"
At his words, everyone’s mouths twitched and they spat in disdain. This guy, a filthy mouth can’t speak fine words.
"Shut up!" Ji Zidian huffed, her hands on her hips, accentuating her stunning curves. "Senior Brother Wang Xiu is clearly cultivating a peerless Divine Skill! What on earth is going through your head?"
"You guys forced to say it..." Huang Yunchong felt aggrieved, also sensing it was unlikely.
After all, *that*... how could it possibly make such a big commotion? No, the most crucial point is, how could it last for three days? Three whole days! Without a single pause! That’s more unbelievable than any myth!
Just then, the Asura Heaven Punishnt Sword resonated with a HUMMM!
Wang Xiu’s Divine Soul returned to his body.
As his eyes opened, an unimaginable ray of brilliance shot into the sky, piercing the heavens. He stood up and grasped the sword. Runes diffused all around him, as vast and grand as the Heavenly Stars, casting a multi-colored glow that veiled the entire expanse of the void.
He soared into the air as streaks of golden Daoist Text surged out from his body.
In that instant, golden lotuses blood across the ground, and garlands of light descended from the sky. Giant phantoms of Demons and Gods rose from the ends of the earth, shaking the very ground as if a thousand armies were charging forth.
The aura inside Wang Xiu grew unprecedentedly mighty, coalescing into a pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds.
All the prodigies stood up, their expressions changing dramatically, shocked beyond belief.
This commotion... could it be?
"He’s about to... break through..."
