Bai Yue had never intended to cling to Luo Feng for support. His memories had only awakened half a year ago, but they had been childhood friends and sworn buddies long before that. Besides, Luo Feng might have had the most upright values of any novel protagonist. Even in his previous life, Bai Yue had always admired Luo Feng.

After awakening his memories and inheriting over a decade of memories spent with Luo Feng, Bai Yue gained an even more detailed understanding of him. He felt even more strongly that Luo Feng was someone to whom he could entrust his back.

A true confidant was hard to find. In the terms of a cultivation world, their relationship resembled that of cultivation partners—companions who could accompany and support each other on the path of pursuing the Great Dao. One could imagine that billions of years from now, after both had reached the pinnacle, the only people they could still speak with without reservation would be each other. Even Wei Wen, their current close friend—once the gap in their realms became too vast, even if they completely restrained their auras, could they still speak as freely as they did now? The answer was obvious.

As for buying Luo Hua a bottle of Water of Life, it was merely something Bai Yue did in passing. He had not put that much calculation into it. After all, he needed to buy some as a reserve himself.

Luo Feng's arrival at the Elite Training Camp meant that he was not far from reaching the top. This gave Bai Yue a sense of urgency, so he could not relax his training.

Time passed quickly. Four days had already gone by since Luo Feng's arrival. Every day, aside from training, Bai Yue went to the training hall of the Nine-Layered Pagoda to guide Luo Feng and the others in their cultivation. At first, not many people came. Some could not bring themselves to seek advice from someone their own age.

But once those who received his guidance began making rapid progress, no one had the leisure to care about their pride anymore. Bai Yue had studied a wide variety of manuals, so his guidance often came from a lofty perspective. He not only addressed their current difficulties, but also laid out the creator's intent, the connections between the beginning and end, future avenues of development, and every other aspect.

Yes, he laid it all out before them. When the students who came for advice saw Bai Yue perform the manuals they practiced with greater proficiency than themselves, even surpassing the original text, they were deeply shocked. Thus, those he guided often gained immensely and came to clearly understand their own situations.

This immediate effect made him the most popular person in the Elite Training Camp in just a few days. Even many instructors came to seek his advice.

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

"Looking up at the vastness of the universe, one senses its infinity." As he watched the boundless stars overhead, the Gene Energy in his body seemed to establish a connection with countless stars, gradually boiling with their flickering.

Within Bai Yue's body, the Gene Energy in his dantian and the Mental Power in his sea of consciousness spun like whirlpools, continuously compressing toward their centers. An invisible gravitational force also drew the surrounding cosmic energy into the whirlpools.

As they continued to spin, the energy at the edges gathered and compressed toward the center, gradually forming two liquefied spheres of water. Like hearts, they expanded and contracted without cease. Gradually, all the energy outside the spheres was absorbed.

The two spheres rotated like planets. Suddenly, upon reaching a certain threshold, the spheres in his dantian and sea of consciousness rapidly contracted toward their centers. Then they vanished, replaced by two crystalline orbs of light that emitted hazy halos from their surfaces.

Upon closer inspection, the light orbs were not smooth, but possessed countless facets. They seemed to be made of innumerable pyramids. The moment they formed, invisible fluctuations spread from within them, gradually permeating his entire body before extending beyond it. Bai Yue, seated cross-legged on the rooftop, slowly rose into the air. This method of floating was almost instinctive, so he mastered it instantly.

The light orbs resembled miniature planets, and those invisible fluctuations were their own magnetic fields. Using these magnetic fields, he could offset Earth's gravity and thus fly. This natural levitation consumed nothing unless he wanted to move faster and drove energy to accelerate.

The miniature planets were not simply aggregates of energy, but an elevation in essence. Within them were not only Mental Power and Gene Energy that had transformed into the Planet Level, but also mysterious rays of light 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 rooftop, the instant these streams of energy spread through his body, his previously calm body began to change dramatically. His bones, fascia, muscles... everything underwent unimaginable transformations. Even the genetic material within his body changed, continuously breaking down and recombining, optimizing toward something more outstanding and perfect.

The transition from apprentice Level to Planet Level was a leap in life itself. After becoming Planet Level, one no longer needed to breathe and could fly through the air directly.

Only at the Planet Level could one be called a Martial Artist or a Mental Master, only then did one have the qualifications to wander the universe! Even so, one could only barely make a living.

"This feeling is so wondrous."

After his Gene Energy and Mental Power broke through, his body underwent a transformation. The feeling gave Bai Yue an unprecedented shock, as though he had changed from an infant into a grown man. His entire skeleton, fascia, internal organs, and everything else had undergone an essential transformation.

The Elite Training Camp had already fallen silent in the dead of night. Most people had entered their dreams.

On the rooftop, Bai Yue rose to his feet and shot into the sky, then floated more than three hundred meters above the ground. His dark Martial Artist robe snapped in the wind as he looked down upon the Elite Training Camp and the distant city. Yet his mind followed their connection into the void where the Dao Fruit resided.

The scene remained eternally unchanged. The Dao Fruit emitted a faint glow, and he sensed their vague connection.

"After this breakthrough, and after reading the works of so many ancient sages and comprehending the realms of those predecessors, my consciousness has improved tremendously. I should be able to refine the Dao Fruit further."

His consciousness continuously seeped into the Dao Fruit. Though it did not appear large, it seemed to contain endless space within. As his consciousness immersed itself there, he could no longer sense the passage of time or space.

No one knew how long passed before his consciousness seemed to pierce through thick fog and pass through a protective membrane, drawing one step closer to the Dao Fruit's core.

In an instant, the Dao Fruit trembled slightly. Mysterious power descended upon Bai Yue's body and soul through their intangible connection, then acted upon every cellular gene chain in his body, bringing them closer to the origin, closer to the Dao.

It moved quickly, completing the transformation almost instantly. After this transformation, Bai Yue discovered that his comprehension had become stronger, and his body was more agile and closer to nature when performing Martial Skills.

Not only that, some information transmitted by the Dao Fruit suddenly appeared in his mind. This improvement had not only strengthened his comprehension, but also granted him a new ability.

Creation. This was the Dao Fruit's newly added ability.

This ability could create all things from nothing, without consuming anything from Bai Yue himself. Of course, this was limited by certain conditions, and there were currently restrictions.

First, his own Gene Energy, Mental Power, and flesh could be directly created because they already possessed a faint connection to the Dao Fruit. Of course, he had yet to test the speed, so he did not know to what extent it could be done.

As for things outside himself, he needed to completely analyze their structure before he could create them. For example, even ordinary water required a considerable understanding from the microscopic to the macroscopic level before it could be created.
