Wuqu - Beauty Pressure: During cultivation, if someone nearby has higher beauty, the effectiveness of cultivation increases. The greater the difference in beauty between you and the other person, the stronger the cultivation effect will be. Note: If you’re ugly, you’ll need to cultivate more.
Cultivation Method: (Omitted)
Laziness (0/70,000)
"MMP."
Seeing this star point made Zhou Bai angry. What did it mean? Looking down on him again?
He finally soothed his inner rage and took a closer look at the introduction of this star point, a flicker of realization crossing his eyes.
"So that’s how it is, no wonder. When I improved my aptitude before, I felt that something was off."
"Memory, comprehension, even the overall quality improvement, most of it was in my head, but now it’s a direct boost to the cultivation effect," Zhou Bai stroked his chin and thought, "So are the next star points all about direct improvements to cultivation efficiency?"
Although he was somewhat annoyed by the introduction of this star point, he greatly appreciated its effect, which would significantly increase his cultivation speed.
However, after just spending 60,000 points of laziness, Zhou Bai didn’t have 70,000 points to add to Wuqu - Beauty Pressure, so he could only continue to cultivate and accumulate points of laziness.
…
The next day, it was time to cultivate the Twilight Taoist Skill again.
Zhou Bai and Zheng Wentian went to the Great Elder together, re-entering the dream to cultivate the "All Swords Return to Origin."
This time, the one who appeared before Zhou Bai was a young Jiaojiao, who looked to be in her twenties.
She glanced at both of them and said, "You’re here? Then let’s go in." With a wave of her hand, she sent them both in front of the All Swords Return to Origin Stele.
Standing before the Stele of All Swords Return to Origin, Zhou Bai, who was still at the second Stele, caused a confident look to flash across Zheng Wentian’s face.
The recent practices within the dream had made it clear to Zheng Wentian that, at least in the cultivation of Twilight Taoist Skill, his talent completely overpowered Zhou Bai’s.
This allowed Zheng Wentian, who had originally lost to Zhou Bai with the strength of the third realm, to regain his confidence.
Especially since Zhou Bai was only at the second Stele, while Zheng Wentian had moved on to the sixth Stele.
"This gap can be widened further," Zheng Wentian thought secretly. "Today, I aim to finish cultivating at the sixth Stele." His gaze flickered as he looked at the sword marks on the sixth Stele.
A myriad of profound mysteries hit him, and within the voice of Zheng Wentian’s heart, he seemed to sense a mysterious world slowly opening up to him.
It was the void, where countless knowledge about swords and swordsmanship attracted him, making him eagerly sense the sword marks on the Stele.
On the other side, Zhou Bai sat down, his heart carrying a hint of anticipation as he looked at the Stele, ready to begin his visualization.
The previous two times he cultivated Twilight Taoist Skill, his cultivation speed was somewhat faster because of the star point boosts from his ugly image, but there was still a gap compared to the Celestial God race Zheng Wentian.
It must be said that Zheng Wentian, as a member of the Celestial God race, despite having a poor temperament, his talents and the education he received from a young age were indeed far beyond ordinary people.
However, yesterday, Zhou Bai had activated the Wenqu - Inspiration star point, effectively enhancing his aptitude again, which made him want to try if his cultivation speed had become faster.

As he visualized the sword marks this time, Zhou Bai immediately felt different; through the sword marks on the Stele, he seemed to have understood something, as if a strange world was calling out to him.

"The efficiency really increased dramatically."
Zhou Bai’s face lit up with joy as he observed the sword marks on the stele even more earnestly.
Not far away, Jiaojiao was also observing Zhou Bai and Zheng Wentian.
After all, the time to practice Twilight Taoist Skill was limited. Among the lights atop the five peaks, which represented individuals, most had already reached the limits of their practice. Only newcomers could pique Jiaojiao’s interest.
At the moment, as she watched Zhou Bai and Zheng Wentian, Jiaojiao silently assessed the strengths and weaknesses of the two.
"Zhou Bai, this kid, has a first-class temperament. He stayed in the dark for so long during the initial test and still managed to keep his composure. After practicing the swordsmanship that returns all swords to their source several times, his mindset and spirit were able to recover quickly. Indeed, he is a good seed for cultivation."
"But... too foolish."
"He has come in so many times, still circling around the second stele. There are a total of 49 steles in the practice of returning all swords to their source, and it must be completed in 50 hours—one hour each. With his comprehension, it’s simply impossible."
Jiaojiao sighed, shook her head, and then turned to look at Zheng Wentian, "This child, being of divine origins, has been practicing since childhood, never lacking resources or techniques, and his foundation is very solid. Also, his talent isn’t bad. His practice of swordsmanship has been smooth sailing, no more problems.
However, those of divine origins... alas, still have some issues with their temperament, making it unlikely for them to attain the Five Divine Skills."
Speaking of the temperament of those of divine origins, Jiaojiao sneered inwardly, "Thinking it over... could it really be intentional? These divine beings are truly cold and heartless."
Jiaojiao turned away, no longer looking at the two, but sighed inwardly, "Neither of these two will do; is my Qingtian Dao Sect destined to have no successors?"
Ten minutes later, Zhou Bai stood up from in front of the second stele and walked over to the third one.
His movements clearly startled the nearby Zheng Wentian who wondered, "Based on this guy’s previous progress, he shouldn’t have finished practicing with the second stele so quickly?"
Though filled with doubt, Zheng Wentian felt confident in his own advantage and did not dwell on it, continuing to envision the sword marks on the sixth stele.
Little did he know that forty minutes later, Zhou Bai would stand up again and move from the third stele to the fourth.
Seeing this, Zheng Wentian was somewhat dumbstruck, "How did this guy’s practice speed increase so quickly? Or is he pretending? Does he want to disrupt me by acting like he’s improving?"
However, after a bit of contemplation, Zheng Wentian dismissed the concern, telling himself not to be distracted by these things. As long as he focused on his own practice, that was enough, so he resumed envisioning the sword marks.
But Zhou Bai’s movements kept intruding on his thoughts, as if a voice was constantly urging him to move faster, still faster, or else Zhou Bai would catch up with him.
Anxious and restless, his practice efficiency declined, so Zheng Wentian did not manage to complete his practice with the sixth stele by the end of the hour for the day.
Zhou Bai, however, looked satisfied as he gazed at the fourth stele.
"Do you wish to spend 93,224 laziness points to learn the swordsmanship that returns all swords to their source?"
"Not bad, today’s efficiency is good."
"Required laziness points have been decreasing; at this rate, by the end of the month, it’ll be a great deal to learn the swordsmanship using laziness points."
Zhou Bai also calculated how to spend his laziness points and how to improve his strength during this time.
Firstly, after he finishes with the fifth star point, Wuqu - Beauty Pressure, based on his past experience with two layers of divine charts, he feared he might not be able to practice the sixth star point due to insufficient Primordial Spirit value.
"Laziness points are increasingly insufficient, Fatty Sheep No.2 is less and less cooperative, Fatty Sheep No.3 is already stripped bare; perhaps it’s time to expand the sheepfold."
