Chapter 1101

On Planet Ronal, time passed day by day.

The Palace of Ares and other forces that had chased after Gu Ding and his crew earlier were gathering outside the Viking headquarters' star sector.

The people from the Palace of Ares had planned to barge in with their men, but they were stopped by one of the Viking lords.

The strongest among them was only a middle-level Lord, so they did not dare to barge in. They only dared to stay outside the star sector. One reason was to wait for Gu Ding's pirate crew to come out, and the other was to wait for reinforcements from the Palace of Ares.

The Palace of Ares had already sent word back to the Palace of Ares headquarters that Gu Ding's pirate crew had entered Planet Ronal.

The Palace of Ares headquarters only replied with one sentence, "Stand guard outside. Don't let Gu Ding's pirate crew escape. We'll send people to negotiate with the Vikings as soon as possible."

After that, both sides fell into a strange period of silence.

Gu Ding and his crew knew nothing about any of this.

Gu Ding did not know how much time had passed in the outside world. All he knew was that he had retained a small portion of his consciousness to control the Stainless Wisdom Body to circulate more than three hundred times.

Because the energy in the blue lake was getting stronger every day, the Stainless Wisdom Body was disintegrating faster and faster. Every time it disintegrated, the Stainless Wisdom Body had to be reactivated to circulate again.

Just as the Stainless Wisdom Body was reactivated for the 368th time, in Gu Ding's soul space, the last shackle on an isolated island in his consciousness projection had finally completely disintegrated.

Gu Ding let out a long breath and shouted, "I've finally broken through!!!"

Gu Ding's cultivation level had finally broken through from sixth-rank Heavenly God to seventh-rank Heavenly God. He could clearly feel that all aspects of his body had improved again.

Gu Ding returned his consciousness to his body and looked at the time.

"It's been eleven days. I wonder how Ayesha is doing …"

Gu Ding turned his head to look in the direction of the Awakening Pool in the distance. However, he was sure that Ayesha had not completed her bloodline awakening. Otherwise, Barryn would have come in to pick them up and leave.

"The Vikings' record is eighteen days. With Ayesha's potential, it's unlikely that she'll be much shorter than that. There should be a few more days before she completes her bloodline awakening. I'll take advantage of these few days and try to break through to eighth-rank. Seventh-rank is a hurdle to becoming a high-rank Heavenly God. Now that I've crossed this hurdle, it should be much easier for me to reach eighth-rank and ninth-rank. "

Once again, Gu Ding calmed his mind and began to break through to the next sequence.

While Gu Ding was busy trying to break through his cultivation, the Gu Ding Pirates were not idling around either.

Biggie was in a red lake, frantically absorbing energy into his body. He tempered a white object in his body over and over again.

Upon closer inspection, the object that was enveloped in a layer of white light was a small knife made of white light. All sorts of mysterious runes of laws revolved around the blade of the knife, giving off a sharp feeling.

This small white knife was actually Biggie's Knife Heart.

The so-called Saber Heart was actually a saber formed from the will of a Saber Dao cultivator. This saber contained all of the saber cultivator's understanding of the saber. It was also the source of the saber cultivator's power.

Under normal circumstances, a sword cultivator's Sword Heart would automatically be tempered as their cultivation level increased. However, Biggie had previously obtained an inheritance that recorded a method of artificially tempering the Sword Heart.

Biggie took this opportunity to try it out. The more solid the Sword Heart was, the more powerful the saber gleam that a sword cultivator could emit.

After Biggie absorbed an endless amount of energy into his body, it turned into countless particles that collided with the Sword Heart. Every time they collided, the Sword Heart would emit a soft 'ding' sound, like metal colliding together.

Countless small collisions like this would cause the Sword Heart to become more and more solid. However, to be honest, this kind of solidification was not very efficient. Biggie had been doing this for more than ten days. He felt that his Sword Heart was only about one-tenth stronger than before.

Apart from Biggie, the others were also thinking of various ways to make themselves stronger.

As a sword cultivator, Phaser directly summoned her Sword Souls, allowing the four Sword Souls in her body to automatically absorb energy from the outside world.

The red one was the Massacre Sword.

The black one was the Death Sword.

The white one was the Mad Demon Sword.

There was also a golden one that emitted a brilliant golden glow. It was the Great Path Sword.

The four Sword Souls were frantically devouring the energy in the red lake as if they had encountered a feast.

…

Lilliath was also in the red lake area.

However, she was not in the lake. Instead, she was sitting cross-legged above the lake. Her purple-gold eyes were like two bottomless black holes that swallowed all the energy in the lake. Not a single bit of it spilled out.

Moreover, as she had been devouring the energy for the past few days, her original Holy Disciple level combat effectiveness had begun to show signs of loosening. It would not be long before she was promoted to Holy Lord level.

…

Among the crowd, the most peculiar was Neptune.

Like Gu Ding, he was also immersed in a blue body of water. However, what made people speechless was that his body was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. Almost every hour or two, a body would completely melt. However, he would quickly appear out of thin air and continue to absorb energy like crazy.

In the past ten days or so, he had been dissolved by the blue body of water at least two hundred times. However, the benefits he received were also significant.

On his fifth day in the blue body of water, his combat effectiveness had risen from Holy Disciple level to Holy Lord level, and it was still steadily increasing.

…

As a 3-star Shura, Miko dragged Dockett and Faust, who were also 3-star Shuras, into a red body of water.

The red body of water was a place suitable for middle lord-level combat effectiveness. A 3-star Shura's body would probably quickly disintegrate if they entered.

Fortunately, Miko was prepared in advance.

She quickly set up a series of formations and boundaries in the middle of the lake. It took her several hours to finish setting them up.

Dockett and Faust were relieved when they saw the endless red light gathering in the formation and boundaries. Then, after a strange layer of filtering, it became gentle.

The three of them entered the boundaries together and began to cultivate.

…

Becca and Hark were much more low-key than the others.

Both of them obediently immersed themselves in the red body of water. However, the strange thing was that the two of them did not even frown from beginning to end. Instead, they looked like they were enjoying themselves in a hot spring …

Fortunately, there was no one else near the body of water they were in. Otherwise, passersby would not be able to resist the urge to soak themselves in the water if they saw their reaction. If that happened, a layer of skin would probably be shed in an instant.

Unfortunately, this was not a group bathing party. No matter which body of water they were in, this kind of soaking was painful.

The one who suffered the most was Elsa, who was in the Awakening Pool …
