After all this time, the Lord of the Universe had once again helped Ling Tian gather strange energy—and a great deal of it, even far more than before. Though Ling Tian and the others were puzzled, they were also overjoyed. After all, this was an unexpected windfall.
While You Ye and the others discussed it, Ling Tian said nothing. He hurried toward the strange energy at full speed.
"Ling Tian, the Lord of the Universe has helped you gather strange energy again. That means he still has the strength to keep helping you, so he may well gather more for you in the future. That would be even better news," Po Tian said in Ling Tian's mind, his voice brimming with delight. "If nothing unexpected happens, you'll certainly break through to the Twenty-first Heaven of Near-Saint. The energy the Lord of the Universe gathered this time alone might even be enough to get you there."
"No cultivator in the God Realm has ever broken through to that level, so it's still uncertain whether even I can make it," Ling Tian replied. Before Po Tian could speak, he continued, "But even if I can't break through, it's no big deal. Once I refine that strange energy, my strength will surely improve tremendously. More importantly, my Small World will become even more like a universe. That matters more to us."
"Mm, that's true. The most important thing is to keep growing stronger," Po Tian agreed.

"What? There's a Phoenix Soul Fruit?!" Po Tian blurted out, cutting off the tree. "No way! The Lord of the Universe is really willing to give Ling Tian a Phoenix Soul Fruit?
