Chapter 1632 1625: The First Valkyrie of Mysticism

Void-Blank Space, between Sky Heart Galaxy and White Abyssal Galaxy.

Wei Wuyin stretched his legs and arms, then swung them until they fully relaxed. Unleashing that void-splitting slash was not easy even now. Fortunately, his last-minute preparation to store enough saber energy to rival that sage-slaying attack was enough to halt that hazy figure and grant Su Mei an opportunity.

If not for Wei Xiaotian's information regarding the threat and its objective, there was a strong chance that he wouldn't have been ready to halt that figure given the incredibly swift and unexpected event of its arrival. Before her warnings, he had developed a near-damning assumption the calamity would manifest as an unseen, vicious force only, and there would be no descent of an avatar like The World.

"I have to treat her to a good meal," Wei Wuyin remarked with a grin and a chuckle. He felt good. Really, really good.

While almost all of his plans and contingencies had remained unused, from alchemical products to various arts, spells, and methods, he was incredibly satisfied despite not using any of them to overcome this impending calamity.

Using his Celestial Eyes, he kept watch over Su Mei's Seed Tribulation Gate. The Mystic Ascendant Realm was an exceedingly profound realm that was renowned as the Realm of Ascension and relied on one's insights and progress on the unfathomable path of Mysticism.

In the vast world of cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Realm was referred to as the Realm of Preparation. Each step was made to establish one's journey into the way of cultivation, readying the body, mind, and soul to birth a Spirit of Cultivation.

The Qi Condensation Realm was regarded as the Realm of Accumulation. From the Qi Creation Phase to the Essence Qi Phase, each stage required an accumulation of essence and energy, including a proper understanding of its fundamental power, from the elements to yin, yang, yin-yang, and spirit. At this stage, the ever-present and relevant phrase across galaxies remained: "Cultivation is difficult."

Even in advanced galaxies such as the Treasured Vale Galaxy, there were countless cultivators who've been stopped by one stage or another at the Qi Condensation Realm for their entire life.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

The last of the Mortal Realms, the Astral Core Realm, was the Realm of Assimilation. The process from start to finish revealed the truth of the Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Condensation, which were all preparations to give birth to a Solar Star in cultivator form, the highest repression of the Mortal Dao and the enabler of many lifeforms.

Those at the Astral Core Realm assimilate, and then they emit; they assimilate the foundation of a Solar Star, the very blueprints during the Mortal Star Formation Tribulation, at the World Sea Phase as they slowly expand their reserves and transform their various energies to the appropriate intrinsic qualities of a Solar Star-Astral Force.

They assimilated mana as Sky Rulers. They assimilated Manifested Spirit Energy as they formed Soul Idols, which were remarkably similar to Star Souls. They assimilated space. They assimilated light. They assimilated gravity. They assimilated the qualities of everything and stable space. They assimilated the flow of time. Until finally, they create the various basics of a genuine Star Seed-a Star Core.

Each step was arduous, requiring not just cultivation but initial entry-level comprehensions of those various energies and the ability to properly assimilate them without failing, dying, or being crippled as a result. The difficulties of cultivation sprouted more intensely than ever before with each subsequent stage.

Wei Wuyin grew emotional as his mind circulated these thoughts that borderline induced nostalgia. He had cultivated for a little over a hundred years as a mortal and made great, world-defying strides in each stage alongside his family. Whether it was the time he was sent across the stars through rings of Manifested Spirit Energy, drawing his saber against an avatar of The World, seeing alternative versions of himself within the River of Time, or experiencing the Samsara of Stars of an unknown amount of years.

So many things he had happened during his journey that it was hard not to feel emotional.

"Master, are you ready to take that step?" Bai Xiu's soft voice resounded as a young girl about a foot in height emerged. She gave off the presence of a princess of a mortal kingdom, and her elegant looks contained a noble cuteness. The previous situation was far too tense for her liking, so she hid away in her cauldron until it was over. Only after Wei Wuyin had overcome this calamity did she feel comfortable enough to peek out and take a look. She could feel Wei Wuyin's wistful emotions immediately.

"Ready?" Wei Wuyin lay on a bed of body-hugging chaos mana, comfortably floating across the Dark Void, and orbiting Su Mei's Seed Tribulation Gate. "There's nothing else to do. If I wasn't ready, I don't know what else I could do."

Lifting both arms to his eyes, he knew that the Fourth Calamity was arriving soon. Moreover, he had just lost all his Karmic Luck Value. He couldn't resist the urge to curse beneath his breath. He had gone through so much to collect all of that. Despite the willingness to sacrifice it all for Su Mei's safety, it still felt frustrating to think about.

As for worrying about the potential backlash of that saber swing? He didn't. He just didn't.

If the heavens wanted him dead, he could only enjoy now, because tomorrow was never coming. Since he was still breathing comfortably now, he didn't have to worry about it later. And it was clear that that avatar had issues interfering with tribulations. If something like this occurred, then he would simply run into his gate. If that didn't work, then he would run faster somewhere else.

He relaxed with a breath of ease as he waited.

Soon, eighty-one hours eclipsed.

A whirling, swirling, and blaringly epic sound echoed across the Dark Void. The Seed Tribulation Gate thrummed with activity, releasing pulses of mystic energy that were visible to the naked eye, even if they were mere mortals as waves upon waves were left in the surrounding mana.

The process of the Seed Tribulation Gate typically required a cultivator to undergo a sequence of repeated testing and verifications of one's insight, gathering tiny steps of ascension in the form of Rune Ascension, and they would spend a minimum amount of time to transition their meridians, dantian, Sea of Consciousness, cells, and Star Core into the world of mysticism. If a cultivator could not succeed in a single one of nine, they would lose eight hundred years of life, and be vomited out by the gate in an incomplete state, the only remaining bit was the Astral Soul!

They would be considered failures!

The very first stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, the Mystic Star Phase! Those at this stage were often referred to as Exalted Ascenders. If selectively looked upon, this realm was lowly regarded despite the word 'Exalted', but if one took a step back and saw the whole picture, the word 'Ascender' contained extraordinary meaning!

This meaning was something that only demonic talents would dare strive for!

With an incomplete transition, what was seen as a failure by many societies, the entirety of the Mortal Realms was emulated in this single stage!

The Realm of Preparation, the Realm of Accumulation, and the Realm of Assimilation!

But what was all of this included? What else but Mysticism?!

And now, out of all the Ascendants, the first Valkyrie had finished her ascension! Normally, the transition would take a few dozen minutes or so at most, but Su Mei needed eighty-one hours!

When she exited the gate, her demeanor and bearing were transcendent as her aura surged with an unfathomable presence. When those limpid eyes of hers found Wei Wuyin, a hint of a smile formed.

Wei Wuyin stood upright with a bright smile, waving his hands as if welcoming his wife home. He didn't hold back as he opened his arms. He was about to take a step forward when Su Mei's figure blurred to even his Celestial Eyes, and he felt a soft yet strong body pressed against his own, two slender arms holding onto him with great strength, and her bodily warmth merging with his. When he felt her hectic breath on his chest as if born from lingering fear turned happiness, his eyes emitted a satisfied warmth.

He lightly kissed her forehead before holding her tighter.

Within the vast Dark Void between galaxies, a Stellar Paragon and a Stellar Rebel held each other with all their heart.
