Little Crane had changed into a white dress, looking exceptionally elegant, with a black hairpin adorned with a halo on her head. She had finally grown taller.
Previously, she looked like a ten-year-old girl, but now she seemed to be around twelve or thirteen, her features had matured, becoming increasingly beautiful.
Her white dress appeared soft and fitting under the night sky, with her hair cascading like a cloud of black silk.
Little Chi's cultivation had advanced rapidly, with the Chaoyuan Red Treasure Fruit enhancing his body, complementing the Qi-Enhancing Pills Chen Xun had given him.
He had already stepped into the late-stage Transformation, striding through the air with a majestic presence.
The deep, faint roar in the air truly gave off the aura of a king of beasts.
Little Chi's vitality was incredibly strong and robust, though it couldn't compare to their tribulation-tempered bodies, it was far superior to ordinary spirit beasts.
After all, no spirit beast could casually consume an eighty-thousand-year-old Chaoyuan Red Treasure Fruit, not even the Nine Hua Demon-Sealing Apes could cultivate it.
Meanwhile, two hundred years ago, Qing Li and their thirty thousand clansmen had all secretly awakened their talents.
However, the Chaoyuan Red Treasure Fruit seemed to have little effect on their physical cultivation, instead nurturing their divine souls.
Yet, the strength of their divine souls didn't manifest in physical cultivation but in the Crying Spirit technique.
The Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan had a unique trait: they could condense soul-nourishing liquid themselves, enhancing others' divine soul power, thereby feeding back into their physical cultivation.
For most people, even prodigies, physical cultivation was just one of the foundations, while soul-nourishing treasures were expensive but obtainable.
Investing in the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Clan might seem unworthy, as the resources could be better spent on soul-nourishing items for oneself.
No one possessed the World Soul like Chen Xun and Black Bull, capable of cultivating countless precious medicines.
The soul-nourishing liquid, however, was highly beneficial to spirit beasts, as they primarily focused on physical cultivation, unlike the prodigies of the grand world who pursued comprehensive development and various mystical arts.
Little Chi thus gained a significant advantage, with his divine soul power growing stronger, reaching the limits of his realm.
He began to break through the natural shackles of his race, growing stronger by the day.
Black Bull had also consumed it, but it was useless...
His and his elder brother's divine souls seemed to have already solidified, yet appeared limitless, needing no soul-nourishing liquid to enhance their limits.
They possessed the tribulation-tempered body, the rootless essence flower, and additional defense, already surpassing the limits of their realm, making it redundant for them.
Most importantly, their rootless essence flower was far from mature, requiring the passage of time.
But these racial traits amused Chen Xun greatly, with all these oddities like Filthy Longevity and the Tomb Luck Demon Fiend Clan...
Each more bizarre than the last, making the human race seem not so powerful.
However...
Chen Xun had once purchased a ranking list of all races, and humans were among the strongest, ranked in the top ten as a transcendent great race!
Even in the Boundless Great World, no other creatures dared to bully weak humans or use race as an excuse.
Human superpowers were deeply rooted in various great worlds, and the Three Thousand Great Worlds had survived the era of great slaughter of racial wars.
No other race dared to mock humans with a phrase like, "Oh, humans, so weak? Destroy them!"
To oppose the strongest races on the Chaos Immortal Spirit List was the greatest disrespect to one's life and immortal path, and being killed by the world's energy was the lightest consequence.
Interestingly, the Boundless Great World indeed had a transcendent ancient human family, the Ji...
Chen Xun, during his exploration of the star compass, only heard a few words, but it stirred great waves in his heart.
Chen Xun couldn't help but hope that if Ji Kun was some great power reincarnated in a small boundary, it would be wonderful, at least he could meet him.
But based on the current information, it seemed only strong individuals in slumber or possessing others existed.
Reincarnation and rebirth truly didn't exist in the Three Thousand Great Worlds...
Even that Song Heng was certainly not a reincarnated being.
Chen Xun had secretly interrogated him thoroughly, and he claimed it was his racial talent, truly a unique individual.
A clan's fortune concentrated in one, with ancestors buried in immortal tombs, unified, yet he was unclear about his origin, quite peculiar.
However, he assured Chen Xun he wasn't an ancestor reincarnated, he was just himself, could die if killed, and would pass away when his lifespan ended, with no extra legacy memories.
Yet Song Heng's clan liked to follow potential strong individuals, as if it was ingrained in their bones, seemingly unable to rely on themselves, quite mysterious.
In his words: "Ah, factory owner, those ancestors encountered misfortune, if my guess is correct, they should have perished in the middle path!"
After speaking, Song Heng laughed heartily, even mocking his ancestors, claiming his generation wouldn't make the wrong choice.
He had concentrated his clan's fortune on himself, leaving nothing for the next generation, quite shameless.
He didn't care about the aftermath after his death, ancestors were just to be exploited, Master Dao wanted to live clearly!
After hearing these words, Chen Xun felt a bit melancholic, realizing there was indeed no reincarnation in this world.
Too many similar people, yet they were no longer themselves, and Chen Xun didn't know where the end of the immortal path lay, or if he could achieve what immortals couldn't.
Listening to Song Heng's words, he felt calm, the outcome no longer mattered to him.
The immortal path was long, and one always needed some thoughts, otherwise, it would be too dull.
At this moment—
The sea reflected a glow, the starry river stretched endlessly, Little Chi squatted on Chen Xun's left, Black Bull lay on his right.
Little Crane sat between Chen Xun and Black Bull, as Black Bull took up more space.
Chen Xun looked at Little Crane and smiled, "Third sister, I'm planning to buy a property on Li Chen Island, it requires a lot of spirit stones."
Little Crane hugged her knees, smiling at Chen Xun, "Sure, big brother."
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much."
Chen Xun's words carried a hint of nostalgia, his gaze gradually shifting to the sea, "It's time for you to see the world, to travel as much as you've read."
"Big brother?!" Little Crane's face changed suddenly, her breathing becoming uneven, "We're not separating!"
"Yes, Brother Xun!" Little Chi was also startled, wondering if Brother Xun wanted Sister Crane to train in the grand world, which was dangerous.
"Moo moo~~" Black Bull gently patted Little Crane's head, reassuring her that she wasn't going far.
Little Crane's eyes were filled with anxiety, unable to speak for a long time, just looking at her big brother and second brother.
