When spending time with Luo Feng, Bai Yue didn't have any intention of leeching off him. His memories had only awakened half a year ago; they had been childhood best friends long before that. Moreover, Luo Feng was probably the most morally upright protagonist in all the novels. Bai Yue had always admired Luo Feng in his previous life.

After awakening his memories, inheriting over ten years of shared experiences with Luo Feng, he gained an even more detailed understanding of Luo Feng, further solidifying his belief that Luo Feng was someone he could trust with his life.

Finding a kindred spirit is difficult. In the words of the cultivation world, their relationship was more akin to that of Dao companions—partners who could accompany and support each other on the path of pursuing the Great Dao. One could imagine that after billions of years, when both had reached their peak, they would still be the only ones who could communicate without reservation. Even their close friend Wei Wen, when their cultivation levels differed greatly, could they still communicate so freely even if they completely concealed their aura? The answer was obvious.

As for buying a bottle of Water of Life for Luo Hua, it was a simple, effortless act for Bai Yue now, without much calculation involved. After all, he needed to buy some for himself as a backup anyway.

Luo Feng's arrival at the Elite Training Camp signaled that he was not far from reaching the pinnacle. This instilled a sense of urgency in Bai Yue, so he couldn't afford to relax in his cultivation.

Time flew by. Four days had passed since Luo Feng's arrival. Every day, besides cultivating, he would go to the training hall of the Nine-Layered Pagoda to guide Luo Feng and the others. Initially, not many people came for guidance; some found it difficult to ask a peer for help.

However, when everyone who had received his guidance made rapid progress, they no longer cared about saving face. Because Bai Yue was well-versed in various Secret Manuals, his guidance was often insightful and high-level. He didn't just address the current difficulties but also explained the creator's intent, the connections between different parts, and future developments.

Yes, he would demonstrate. The trainees seeking guidance were astonished to see Bai Yue perform the Secret Manuals they were practicing, even more proficiently than they were, and even surpassing the original texts. As a result, those who received his guidance often gained a lot and gained a clear understanding of their own situation.

This immediate and tangible effect made him the most popular person in the Elite Training Camp within just a few days, with even many teachers coming to him for advice.

On the rooftop terrace of Bai Yue's two-story building, Bai Yue gazed up at the starry sky, his mind immersed in the boundless sea of stars.

"Gazing at the vastness of the universe, I feel its infinity." Looking at the endless starry sky above, the primal energy within his body seemed to establish a connection with these myriad stars, stirring and boiling with their twinkling.

Inside Bai Yue's body, the Gene Energy in his dantian and the Mental Power in his sea of consciousness began to spin like a vortex, constantly compressing towards the center. An invisible gravitational pull also drew in the surrounding cosmic energy, integrating it into the vortex.

As the rotation continued, the outer energy continuously gathered and compressed towards the middle. Gradually, two liquefied large water spheres formed in the center, resembling hearts, constantly expanding and contracting. Soon, all the energy outside the water spheres was absorbed.

The two water spheres rotated like planets. Suddenly, as they reached a certain critical point, the water spheres in the dantian and sea of consciousness rapidly contracted towards the center. Then, the water spheres disappeared, and a crystal-clear bead of light appeared in their place, emitting a hazy glow from its surface.

Upon closer inspection, the light sphere was not smooth but had countless facets, as if composed of countless pyramids. The moment it formed, invisible fluctuations emanated from it, gradually spreading throughout his body. Then, Bai Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the terrace, slowly began to float. This method of floating was almost instinctive, so he mastered it instantly.

The miniature planet, as it were, and this invisible fluctuation was its own magnetic field. With this self-generated magnetic field, he could counteract Earth's gravity, thus achieving flight. This natural floating consumed no energy unless one desired greater speed and used energy to accelerate.

The miniature planet was not merely an aggregation of energy but a fundamental enhancement. Internally, besides the Mental Power and Gene Energy that had transformed into Planet Level, there were mysterious light rays connecting to form mysterious three-dimensional patterns.

With a thought from Bai Yue, streams of energy dispersed from the miniature planets in his sea of consciousness and dantian, spreading throughout his body.

On the terrace, the moment these streams of energy diffused into his body, his previously calm body began to undergo violent changes. His bones, tendons, muscles... everything was undergoing incredible transformations. The genetic material within his body was changing, constantly breaking down and recombining, optimizing towards a more excellent and perfect state.

The leap from Apprentice Level to Planet Level was a metamorphosis of life. Upon becoming Planet Level, one could breathe without air and fly directly through the sky.

Only at Planet Level could one be called a Warrior and a Mental Master, gaining the qualification to roam the universe! However, one could only barely make a living.

"This feeling is so wondrous."

The breakthrough of his Gene Energy and Mental Power triggered the transformation of his body. This sensation gave Bai Yue an unprecedented shock, as if he had transformed from an infant into a grown man, with his bones, tendons, and internal organs undergoing a fundamental metamorphosis.

Late at night, the Elite Training Camp had fallen silent, with most people asleep.

On the terrace, Bai Yue stood up and soared into the sky, then hovered at an altitude of over 300 meters. His dark Warrior robe fluttered in the wind as he looked down upon the Elite Training Camp and the distant city. His mind, however, followed a connection into the void space where the Dao Fruit resided.

The scene was still one of eternal constancy, the Dao Fruit emitting a faint, soft light, a connection that could be felt yet was elusive.

"After this breakthrough, and having studied the works of various ancient sages during this period, comprehending their realms, my consciousness has greatly advanced. I should be able to refine the Dao Fruit further."

His consciousness continuously penetrated the interior of the Dao Fruit. Though it appeared small, it seemed to contain infinite space within. Immersed within, his consciousness could not perceive the passage of time or space.

After an unknown period, his consciousness seemed to pierce through thick fog, pass through a protective layer, and move a step closer to the core of the Dao Fruit.

In an instant, the Dao Fruit trembled slightly. A mysterious power, following the unseen connection, descended upon Bai Yue's body and soul, then acted upon every gene chain in his cells, bringing them closer to their origin, closer to the Dao.

The process was swift, almost instantaneous. After this transformation, Bai Yue found that his comprehension ability had strengthened, and his body moved more flexibly and naturally when executing Martial Skills.

Not only that, but information from the Dao Fruit suddenly appeared in his mind. This time, his progress had not only enhanced his own comprehension but also granted him a new ability.

Creation—this was the new ability granted by the Dao Fruit.

This ability could create anything out of nothing, without consuming any of his own resources. Of course, this was limited by Bai Yue's own conditions and currently had restrictions.

Firstly, his own Gene Energy, Mental Power, and flesh and blood, due to their subtle connection with the Dao Fruit, could be directly created. Of course, he hadn't tested the speed yet and didn't know the extent to which he could achieve this.

For things outside himself, he needed to completely analyze their structure before he could create them. For example, to create the most ordinary water, one needed to have a considerable understanding from the microscopic to the macroscopic level.
