The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 528 Junior Sister, praise us quickly!

Ye Xinghe glanced at him: "Go cultivate."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The disciple quickly slipped away.

Ye Xinghe glanced at the two men locked in a fierce battle, shook his head, and turned to leave.

He knew that with their talent and resources, it was only a matter of time before they broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This fighting and joking around is just a way of venting emotions.

Sure enough, three days later, Chen Tianba announced that he was going into seclusion.

Five days later, Xiao Qiushui also closed her doors to visitors.

The Star Palace finally fell completely silent.

Jade Maiden Peak, deep within a cave.

Shen Rugo sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit-gathering array, and the mountain of spirit stones around her was losing its luster and turning into powder at a visible speed.

She has been practicing like this, without sleep or rest, for more than a month.

To break through from the peak of the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm, one needs to fuse the eighteen Golden Core Daoist inscriptions into one, using the Daoist inscriptions as the foundation, and then break the core to form the Nascent Soul.

This process requires not only a massive amount of spiritual energy, but also an extremely profound understanding of the Great Dao.

Shen Rugo is never lacking in insight.

Having lived two lives, and having received the power of the Heavenly Dao and the Dao patterns of the Great Dao on the Heavenly Dao Mountain in the Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm, her understanding of the Dao far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level.

But she lacks spiritual power.

To be precise, it was the lack of a massive amount of spiritual energy to nourish her abnormal body.

"Dao Wen has finally been perfected."

Shen Rugo slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on the eighteen dazzling golden Dao runes swirling and dancing before her. Each rune represented a supreme Dao: stars, swordsmanship, the five elements, time and space, life and death…

Ordinary cultivators can only comprehend three to five Great Daos at most, but she has mastered a full eighteen.

"It's time to break the core."

She took a deep breath and focused all her energy on circulating her cultivation technique. The eighteen golden cores began to slowly converge, attempting to merge into one.

But the moment they touched, a strong repulsive force suddenly erupted between their Daoist writings, causing her blood and qi to churn and her internal organs to ache.

"Or not."

Shen Rugo gave a helpless, bitter smile.

This is the thirty-seventh attempt.

Every failure was due to the sheer number and complexity of the Daoist runes, making perfect fusion impossible.

She needs more spiritual energy to suppress these unruly Daoist inscriptions.

"The resources are almost used up again."

Looking at the few spirit stones and rare treasures left in the cave, Shen Rugo couldn't help but sigh.

The 50% of resources she received last time, converted into top-grade spirit stones, amounted to one or two hundred billion, but in just two months, she had consumed 99% of them!

However, her cultivation level remained stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage, always just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Your Highness, you can eat way too much!"

Zhao Cai popped out from the corner, tilted its little head, and looked at her with a helpless expression.

Last time it robbed Wanbaoge in the Northern Region, it devoured countless fire-attribute treasures, and its strength had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, its size was still only the size of a palm, and it hadn't grown many feathers. It still looked like an ordinary little chicken.

But only Shen Rugo knew that once this "little chicken" unleashed its power, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have to retreat in fear of its true fire.

“I didn’t want to either.” Shen Rugo rubbed her throbbing temples. “Each of the eighteen Great Daos requires a massive amount of resources to build. Now I finally understand why those Dao Ancestors, Buddha Ancestors, and Demon Ancestors in the Nine Heavens are all unique beings.”

"Because they are just as perverted as Her Highness the Princess."

May wealth and prosperity come your way.

"Zhao Cai, that doesn't sound like a compliment."

Zhao Cai fluttered its wings and flew to her shoulder, its eyes darting around: "Your Highness, I'm serious! Those ancient giants of the past could only condense seven or eight Dao runes at most when they reached the Golden Core stage, let alone eighteen Golden Cores. You are simply unprecedented and unparalleled!"

"Don't praise me, I'm annoyed. I have so many golden pills, and I can never get enough of them."

Shen Rugo reached out and picked it up.

"Your Highness, if we don't have enough resources, we can just rob more! Wanbao Pavilion has plenty!"

Zhao Cai immediately shouted.

"Trying to take advantage of Wanbaoge again?"

"if not?

Wanbaoge has money, and we are short of money. Isn't this a perfect match?

Besides, the fact that they snatched it so easily last time proves they're a bunch of easy targets; why not take advantage of them?

Zhao Cai spoke with righteous indignation.

Shen Rugo fell into deep thought.

She definitely needs resources, and a huge amount of them. At the current rate of consumption, the remaining resources will only last for one day at most, and there are less than two months left until the sect competition.

If they cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage before setting off, when they arrive at the Grand Competition, facing the top geniuses of the Ten Great Sects, and even having to contend with the Lingxiao Pavilion, the overlord of the Tianyuan Continent's cultivation world, the Star Palace will be utterly powerless.

Moreover, there is also the mysterious Wu Xuemei, a formidable enemy with bizarre demonic powers.

Shen Rugo, a Nascent Soul cultivator, possesses numerous trump cards, enabling her to fight against late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators and even survive against peak-stage Divine Transformation cultivators.

However, at the Golden Core stage, she could only contend with opponents at the early or middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage.

This seemingly minor difference can mean the difference between life and death.

"But the Wanbaoge branches in the Western and Northern Regions have already been emptied by us."

Shen Rugo frowned. "It's impossible for these two places to stockpile a large amount of resources in the short term."

"Then let's go to the Central Region!"

The Central Region is the core hinterland of the Tianyuan Continent, where Wanbaoge has a larger and more substantial branch!

"Taking over one Central Region branch is worth five Western Region branches!"

"But the Central Region is too far away."

Even at full speed, it would take the Myriad Realms Dragon Warship at least ten days to travel from the northwest of the Tianyuan Continent to the core of the Central Region. A round trip would take twenty days, not counting the time spent looting; there simply wasn't enough time.

"Your Highness, are you stupid?!"

Zhao Cai patted her head with its wing, "Teleportation array! Have you forgotten the ancient teleportation array you built on the border of the Central Region?"

Shen Rugo was startled, then her eyes lit up.

Yes! A teleportation array!

After the Burial Valley Secret Realm ended last time, on her way back, she discovered the ruins of an ancient sect at the border between the Western Regions and the Central Regions.

Deep within the ruins lay an abandoned teleportation array, which she spent half a day restoring to its original state.

As long as a corresponding teleportation entrance is built inside the Star Palace, you can travel between the two places instantly!

"Lucky Star, you are truly my lucky star!"

Shen Rugo picked up Zhaocai, kissed her hard, and then rushed out of the cave.

"Hey, hey, hey! Your Highness, please be more reserved!"

Zhao Cai flapped its wings and cried out, "Although I am a bird, I am male, no, I am a male!"

As soon as Shen Rugo rushed out of the cave, she saw three figures squatting at the entrance.

It was Xiao Changkong, Ye Xinghe, and Lu Haoran.

As soon as the three of them saw her come out, they immediately stood up straight and released their own Nascent Soul aura in unison.

An immense pressure instantly enveloped the entire Jade Maiden Peak, and Xiao Changkong, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, exuded an aura as deep as an abyss, with a faint phantom of a white tiger appearing behind him.

"Junior Sister, I've broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage." Xiao Changkong puffed out his chest, his face beaming with a "praise me" expression.

Ye Xinghe smiled gently: "Junior Sister, I have also successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Haoran scratched his head and chuckled, "Junior Sister, I've reached the Nascent Soul stage too!"
