"Toaster, I'm going to cultivate on this planet. The intensity of the lightning arcs here is probably too much for you to handle. Find a place for yourself nearby and wait for me. Once I'm done, I'll send you a message with a flying sword." After Mo Wuji said this, he took out a ring and handed it to Toaster.

He had many rings on him, and earth-grade spiritual stones were piled up like mountains.

Hearing that it could go wandering on its own, Toaster was overjoyed. It quickly took the ring, not even asking when Mo Wuji would be done, and swiftly rushed into the starry sky.

Mo Wuji wasn't worried about Toaster. This bird was very cunning and had an incredibly strong learning ability. Some things only needed to be taught once, and the bird could even do several variations of it. Plus, it was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to trick it.

...

Mo Wuji put away his spaceship and, spotting a place with relatively sparse lightning arcs, directly rushed into the planet.

As Mo Wuji had expected, the spiritual energy within the planet was astonishingly dense. Similarly, the intensity of the lightning arcs was also incredibly high. The area Mo Wuji had chosen had weaker arcs, but they were still not much weaker than the lightning arcs he had faced during his tribulation. It was easy to imagine that once he reached areas with greater lightning arc intensity, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Lightning arcs were everywhere here, making it impossible to find a place without them. Even if you dug a hole underground, it would still be filled with lightning arcs.

Mo Wuji wanted this kind of cultivation environment. He hadn't advanced to the True God Realm for long, and his strength had already reached the fifth level of the True God Realm.

This speed of cultivation could be considered extremely fast. Cultivating too quickly could lead to an unstable foundation. Although there weren't any apparent side effects yet, Mo Wuji worried about potential issues in the future. Therefore, cultivating in these lightning arcs, while resisting them, would be greatly beneficial in tempering his mental state and physique.

Moreover, Mo Wuji also discovered that his Reverse Cultivation Technique had a special characteristic: the more adverse the environment he cultivated in, as long as there was sufficient spiritual energy, his physical strength would also increase. Mo Wuji knew that there was a type of cultivator called martial cultivators, who specialized in training their physical bodies. The stronger their cultivation, the stronger their physical bodies. He wasn't a martial cultivator, but being able to enhance his physical body while increasing his strength in adverse environments was something he was more than happy to do.

This land of desperation was a place of desperation for others, but for him, it was both a place of desperation and a place of opportunity. As for the pain of his skin, flesh, and bones being struck by lightning, Mo Wuji simply ignored it. He had walked step by step to where he was today, what suffering hadn't he endured?

Lightning arcs rained down like a net covering the sky and earth. Even though Mo Wuji could absorb lightning sources, in just half a day, the clothes around Mo Wuji's body had been torn into shreds by the arcs.

This time, Mo Wuji didn't use the unknown spiritual stone shards to cultivate. There were only six shards left, and using one meant one less. These shards were suitable for breaking through bottlenecks.

The lightning source from the arcs and the surrounding dense spiritual energy were absorbed by Mo Wuji. These spiritual energy vortexes were quickly blasted apart by the lightning arcs, but Mo Wuji gathered them again in the next moment.

Being constantly blasted apart and constantly gathered, Mo Wuji's strength slowly began to improve. Without the spiritual stone shards from the Half-Moon Prison, his cultivation progress wasn't as rapid as before.

At the same time, his skin and bones were also constantly shattering and then healing under the intense lightning net. As time passed, the number of times Mo Wuji's bones shattered decreased, while the rate of healing increased.

Cultivation knows no time. Initially, Mo Wuji stayed in areas with weaker lightning arcs. As his adaptability increased, he began to slowly move towards areas with denser and more powerful arcs.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and Mo Wuji had successfully advanced to the sixth level of the True God Realm.

At this moment, Mo Wuji was completely immersed in this lightning source planet, with no intention of leaving.

...

Starry Sky Hall.

Compared to a year and a half ago, it was much more desolate here. The cultivators who rushed to and fro were mostly merchants or Starry Sky Cultivator Army.

A year and a half ago, the Half-Moon Immortal Palace appeared in the starry sky surrounding True Star, triggering a starry sky war.

In this battle, Star Lord Chi Tong of the Star Emperor Mountain perished, and True Peak Continent also lost control of the Starry Sky Battlefield. If it weren't for the Starry Sky Hall's Starry Sky Gate not being suitable for the Guno Star's Knight Charge, coupled with Chi Tong's decision before his death to abandon counterattacks and have all the cultivators of True Peak Continent madly block the Starry Sky Hall's Starry Sky Gate, and finally, the Guno Star's Knight Army having a conflict with the Starry Sky Beasts due to territorial issues, delaying their attack on True Star, the Starry Sky Hall would have long been occupied by extraterritorial cultivators and Starry Sky Beasts.

But because of this battle, True Peak Continent lost its source of sustenance: the Starry Sky Battlefield.

Although True Peak Continent was large, it didn't have enough cultivation resources to supply more cultivators. In fact, most of the cultivation resources of True Peak Continent came from the Starry Sky Battlefield.

Now that the Starry Sky Battlefield had been divided by Guno Star and the Starry Sky Beasts, the cultivators of True Star were living in misery.

Apart from some cultivators who had already entered the Starry Sky Battlefield, it was extremely difficult for cultivators from True Peak Continent to enter the Starry Sky Battlefield now. Once they left the Vacuum Pier, the chances of survival were slim.

It was believed that if this continued, the Starry Sky Hall wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

Because of these reasons, the merchants who came and went from the Starry Sky Hall were all in a hurry. No one wanted to stay here, because they didn't know when the Starry Sky Hall would become the territory of extraterritorial races.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Starry Sky Pier, several cultivators who had just sold the spiritual herbs in their hands were walking out while discussing. At this moment, a gray figure quickly rushed into the Starry Sky Pier. Its speed caused the cultivators who were still discussing to quickly make way.

"Bang!" Before this gray-clothed cultivator could rush to the second floor, he was shot through by a ray of light and fell to the ground.

Following him, a cultivator walked in, picked up the killed cultivator, and quickly left the first floor lobby of the Starry Sky Pier.

If it weren't for the pool of blood on the ground, some people might have thought that they had just seen something.

"Alas, a year ago, who would dare to kill someone at the Starry Sky Pier? Not to mention killing, no one would even dare to fight. After the Star Lord's death, now people can be killed here anytime, anywhere." After a long time, a cultivator sighed.

"Do you know who the killer was? He's from the Xia Family of Star Emperor Mountain. I also know the person who was killed, his name is Fei Ding, he's from the Lost Continent," another person whispered beside him.

"I heard that the Xia Family and the Yan Family are hunting down cultivators from the Lost Continent everywhere. The Star Lord warned Grandmaster Wuxiang not to vent his anger on the cultivators of the Lost Continent because of Mo Wuji, but I didn't expect that the Xia Family and the Yan Family are the ones venting their anger now."

"Only a hundred people came from the Lost Continent in total. Apart from those who perished in the Starry Sky Battlefield, they've been almost all killed, right?"

"It should be, I heard that they've killed seven or eight people. It's all because the Xia Family can't catch that Mo Wuji, so they..."

"Not necessarily, I think that's just the superficial reason. The real reason is that the Star Lord designated Mo Wuji as the next Star Lord before he died. Think about it, how could Star Emperor Mountain allow the next Star Lord to be given to an unrelated person? Now the Xia Family and the Yan Family are killing cultivators from the Lost Continent as both a show of strength and a warning to Mo Wuji, or to kill all those who might help Mo Wuji in the future."

"Silence, if you want to live longer, it's best not to discuss these things."

The several cultivators who were still discussing the three great families immediately stopped talking. Because what was said was correct, discussing the three great families, once it got out, it might not be a good thing.

"I heard that the Starry Sky Wolf King isn't at the Starry Sky Wolf King Mountain. Once the Starry Sky Wolf King returns, I'm afraid the Starry Sky Hall won't be able to stop the extraterritorial invasion anymore. I don't know what you guys are thinking, but this is the last time I'll be trading at the Starry Sky Hall."

The several cultivators didn't dare to discuss the three great families of Star Emperor Mountain anymore, and instead began to discuss when the Starry Sky Wolf King would invade the Starry Sky Hall.

...

Star Lord Hall, Star Emperor Mountain. Although Chi Tong had fallen, it was getting more lively here day by day.

Apart from Palace Lord Wuxiang of Wuxiang Hall searching for Mo Wuji's whereabouts outside like a madman, and Palace Lord Wu Lingzhi of Star Mark Hall staying outside the Starry Sky Pier to resist the invasion of the Starry Sky Beasts and Guno Star, the other Palace Lords were basically here.

The matter of succeeding the Star Lord had pushed Star Emperor Mountain to the brink of disintegration.

"Palace Lord Xia, since the previous Star Lord has designated Mo Wuji as the successor, I don't think we should provisionally decide on the position of Star Lord until we see Mo Wuji. We should now focus our energy on the defense of the Starry Sky Hall. Once the experts from Guno Star and the Starry Sky Beasts break through the Starry Sky Hall, whatever we say here will be nonsense." A woman stood up and said bluntly.

Xia Dandao's face was a little ugly. This woman was Su Xuan, the Palace Lord of the fourth palace of the Ten Halls of Star Emperor Mountain, Star Sea Hall. The Star Sea Army in her hands was even more powerful than his Star Battle Army. If he wanted to become the Star Lord, he had to win her over.

Yan Pingzhi stood up, "Palace Lord Su is wrong. Star Lord Chi was ambushed by an Earth Immortal from Guno Star, and his divine soul was injured at the time. He didn't even know what he was saying. If we follow Star Lord Chi's intention and let a small True God Realm cultivator become the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, it would simply make the entire starry sky laugh."

Xu Chihuang, who only had one arm, suddenly stood up and pointed at Yan Pingzhi, shouting sharply, "Yan Pingzhi, don't think others don't know what you're thinking. Star Lord Chi's heart was bright and pure, and he was single-minded in his consideration for True Star. There must be a reason why he chose Mo Wuji to be the next Star Lord. You're just a Palace Lord, what right do you have to doubt the Star Lord's words?"

Yan Pingzhi smiled coldly, "I am indeed just a Palace Lord, but at least I'm not a small Protector that you can interfere with. If you dare to point at me again, believe it or not, I'll kill you, a small Protector, on the spot."

Su Xuan interrupted Yan Pingzhi's words without ceremony, "I really don't believe that you, Yan Pingzhi, have the ability to do that. Protector Xu risked his life to protect the Star Lord's body back, and even lost an arm himself. Where were you, Yan Pingzhi, at that time? Now you've come out to compete for the Star Lord, hehe, anyone else can be the Star Lord, but not you, Yan Pingzhi. Since everyone can't reach an agreement, then let's not choose a Star Lord for the time being, and talk about it in the future."

Yan Pingzhi's face flushed red, but he didn't dare to treat Su Xuan the way he treated Xu Chihuang.

Xia Dandao snorted, "The Starry Sky Pier is in chaos right now. If we don't choose a Star Lord as soon as possible, it will be detrimental to the safety of our True Peak Continent."
