Chapter 181: Half-Step Comet's Passage Realm

......

The girl's way of thinking was both a good and bad thing, as their kindness was still prominent in their personalities, leading to skewed decisions that may or may not have repercussions for the Loot Goblin.

But so far, Yang Hua, Nao Long, Bing Nu Shen, and the rest of the Heaven Exploding Faction members have done really well in things like peaceful negotiations and some aspects of logistics.

Overall, everyone had their purpose in the Heaven Exploding Faction, with most of that purpose leading them right back to the lap of the one who led them around like puppies.

It wasn't like Azmodeus was intentionally doing this, but after millions of Traits were assimilated into his existence, there were many things that he did instinctually. And one of those things just happened to be his passive ability to take advantage of anything presented before him.

If there were benefits to be had, then it was almost certain that he would be chasing them down with everything he had...

That was just the sort of man he had become, and it was also these quirks that would allow him to soar up to the infinite number of realms in the world of cultivation.

However, before he and the rest of his 'Blood-bathed yandere's' resumed their prolonged cultivation sessions, he made sure to roll for the Physique of his graceful Chi Wu—a woman who would do anything for him.

After rolling dozens of times and spending countless amounts of Evolution Essence, the Physique was eventually obtained. Its Acquisition allowed his Singularity Physique to gain a few unique aspects related to Potion Mastery.

It also gave him a huge boost in cultivation talent—enough of a boost that his talent finally broke through the bottleneck that prevented him from reaching the Peak-Moonlit Path Rank!

And it was this very breakthrough that made it possible for Azmodeus to achieve a level of talent dozens of times better than it was before!

Add that to the fact that he improved his Qi Gathering Formation Rune Array a few days ago, and his cultivation speed became many times greater than it was!

These improvements to cultivation speed were extremely noticeable for a while. But after 30 years passed and he broke through the Half-Step Comet's Passage Realm with all his 'Star's' filled up, it was made abundantly clear that far more talent would be necessary to break through into the Early-Comet's Passage Realm.

In fact, the gap between the Half-Step Comet's Passage Realm and the true Comet's Passage Realm was so large that Azmodeus doubted whether he would have another breakthrough within the next century.

With the average lifespan of a Lunar Ascendancy Realm Expert put into the equation, everything made a lot of sense. After all, even the weakest of Half-Step Comet's Passage Realm Masters could live for hundreds of thousands of years without an issue.

In Azmodeus's case, that number was multiplied even further, as he was in possession of millions of Traits that improved his lifespan to varying degrees. All of which were bringing him to the utmost limits of every realm he achieved.

Starry Qi permeates the entirety of the 'Higher-Level' areas of Mortal Planes of Existence.

Once one has acquired a way to obtain 'Starry Qi', one could begin to absorb it until there came a day when all of the 'Spiritual Qi' contained inside one's Dantain, Core, and Qi Cyclones transformed into a far thicker and more condensed 'Starry Qi'.

After converting whatever it was that held your 'Spiritual Qi' to a state of '100% Starry Qi and 0% Spiritual Qi', you would have officially broken through into the Lunar Ascendancy Realm.

Upon which, you could begin to scale the minor stages of the Lunar Ascendancy Realm by condensing more of the 'Starry Qi' within whatever is unique to your circumstances.

The minor stages of the Lunar Ascendancy Realm go like this:

1st Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [1 star filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like a star is shining within it.]

2nd Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [2 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like two stars are shining within it.]

3rd Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [3 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like three stars are shining within it.]

4th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm: [4 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like four stars are shining within it. (The color of your Dantain Space will begin to darken at this stage)]

5th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [5 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like five stars are shining within it.]

6th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [6 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like six stars are shining within it.]

7th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [7 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like seven stars are shining within it. (The color of your Dantain Space will start to resplendently brighten)]

8th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [8 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like eight stars are shining within it.]

9th Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm → [9 stars filled in for whatever relates to you, i.e. your Dantain Space will begin to look like nine stars are shining within it. (The shine will be at an all-time high for this stage.)]

Half-Step Comet's Passage Realm → [All nine of your stars will begin to coalesce until they combine and begin to take on the shape of an illusory comet that stands in as your 'dantian space' (Energy Storage will begin to grow exponentially!)]
