Xue Xi really wanted to give Xue Qi a thumbs-up. Under the combined influence of various factors, she had suddenly entered a special state, feeling her state of mind and will rapidly improving. Her willpower, which had barely reached King Rank with the support of the Culinary Dao Laws, swiftly approached the Venerable level.
Yet this step seemed like an insurmountable chasm. No matter what she did, it felt as if a wall stood before her, preventing her from advancing even an inch. Then, a chopstickful of braised meat from Xue Qi seemed to show her the path ahead. In an instant, she experienced a state of mind where the heart was boundless, and her state of mind broke through as well, carrying her willpower into the Cosmic Venerable level.
Though she was only an ordinary Cosmic Venerable, this was a qualitative transformation. If Xue Xi had previously been able to exchange a few moves with a King Rank powerhouse using the Culinary Dao Laws, then now, if she went all out, she could wound a King Rank powerhouse's soul and will. If her opponent happened to belong to a race that could be used as ingredients, even better—perhaps after fighting for a while, another King Rank dish would appear on her plate.
When she opened her eyes, Xue Qi had already finished eating. With the boosts from all sorts of buffs, she had progressed rapidly in Jar World. She had only been at the first level of the Planetary Realm when she woke up, but now she was already at the ninth level of the Stellar Rank.
Of course, that was also related to the fact that she was essentially cultivating again from scratch. Xue Xi gratefully patted Xue Qi's head and had the robot clear away the plates
