Chapter 1020: Four Months
Author: Fingertip Madness
Sumeru Realm, Heavenly Realm.
A faint white mist formed by spirit energy permeated this realm.
It truly resembled a heavenly palace, with ethereal wisps of mist.
However, this world was empty besides the mist.
At the center of the world, four figures hovered.
Xia Feng, with only his pants remaining, was bare-chested, ancient and profound light patterns appearing on his back and chest. As light flow particles rose, they swirled into streams of wind, making his black hair rustle.
He hovered in the center, his eyes half-closed. A green dress, a snow dress, and a black dress formed a triangle around him, waiting quietly.
The first step of the Moon Time result was to condense the Light Body.
The Light Body was responsible for the particle pairing of Moon Time and Moon Void. This task could only be undertaken by Xia Feng.
After all, his light attribute was infinitely close to 100%, far surpassing the other three, even Mu Qingtong was far inferior to him.
However, a normal Dual Moon result only required the condensation of one Light Body.
Now, with a Four Moons result, three Light Bodies needed to be condensed, which was an extremely difficult task even for Xia Feng.
The side effect of condensing a Light Body was the consumption of Yang energy. Although he had abundant Yang energy, he couldn’t sustain three.
Luckily, he had already devised a solution long ago: using his dragon tail as a substitute. This way, only two Light Bodies would need to be condensed.
Soon, as the light flow in his abdomen completely converged, his abdomen also gradually became transparent, transforming into a sea of stars within.
One by one, points of light lit up, sinking and floating.
From the end of the sea of stars, three luminous paths seemed to extend. One overlapped with the dragon tail at his lower back, while the other two extended diagonally from his navel.
The three luminous paths quickly reached the three women.
The luminous paths were dotted and condensed into a tangible form, seeming like moving tails, floating and twisting.
Jiang Qiue’s ethereal eyes showed rare curiosity. She reached out to touch one, but the luminous path suddenly retreated a meter as if startled.
Further back, Xia Feng’s black eyes cast a displeased gaze, “Don’t you dare touch it randomly in your physical body!”
Jiang Qiue pondered, nodded calmly, and indeed gave up on the idea of touching, lowering her hand.
When the luminous path floated back in front of her abdomen.
The abdomens of the three women also transformed into seas of stars, receiving the luminous paths, as if four Cosmic Planes were connected.
The second step of the Moon Time result was Taiji Fruit Condensation.
Condensing the Dao Fruit embryo.
Besides hundreds of auxiliary spirit materials, the result required three main spirit materials: one Taiji Fruit, three Moonflower Roses, and 3g of Time Soil.
The auxiliary spirit materials had already been gathered by Mu Qingtong. As for the main spirit materials.
The resources of the four people converged, totaling 4 Taiji Fruits, 9 Moonflower Roses, and 10.6g of Time Soil.
The Taiji Fruits were accumulated by Xia Feng using the A-class Spirit Artifact, the Yin-Yang Mirror.
The Moonflower Roses were cultivated with the B-class Spirit Artifact, the Blood Mark Seal. This Spirit Artifact could use one’s own blood as a nutrient base, allowing any spiritual seed to be cultivated to maturity.
The higher the bloodline status, the faster the cultivation speed.
Now, after more than two months, seven Moonflower Roses had matured. Adding one each from Cha Nai Xue and the fox, the total was nine.
Thus, even if Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong achieved their results, there would still be 2 Taiji Fruits, 3 Moonflower Roses, and 4.6g of Time Soil left.
This was more than enough.
As the Moonflower Roses were crushed and merged with the Time Soil into the Taiji Fruit in his abdomen, countless light flows surged. Xia Feng felt as if a seed had fallen into the lake of his heart.
With a plink, his thoughts suddenly cleared, as if he had gained enlightenment, deepening his understanding of Moon Time and Moon Void.
This was the effect of the Moonflower Roses, which could stimulate comprehension for fruit condensation.
Seeing Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong begin, Cha Nai Xue and Jiang Qiue exchanged glances and also took the Taiji Fruit and a Moonflower Rose.
Although the two were auxiliaries, the opportunity to personally experience the process of S-class fruit condensation was rare in the world. It was almost as if Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong were teaching them hand-in-hand how to achieve an S-class Dao Fruit. Therefore, by consuming the Taiji Fruit to engrave this process,
they could simply replicate the steps in the future, greatly reducing the difficulty of achieving their results, and even helping them comprehend a deeper level of Time Cover.
This was an incredibly fortunate opportunity.
Soon, the starry sea scenes in the abdomens of the four became increasingly bright, and the three luminous paths also gradually expanded and enlarged. Light flows converged and covered the four people.
In fact, theoretically, achieving a result and advancing to a higher level required a result ritual.
However, the Moon Time Divine Domain was very special. The path choices of Dual Moons and Solitary Moon were actually the result rituals. The ritual began from the moment they started learning this S-class Spirit Robe.
The establishment of mutual connection between the Light Bodies marked the success of the ritual.
The third step of the Moon Time result was to establish the Moon Phases.
The Moon Phases were divided into one Lunar Bright Phase, one Primary Lunar Dark Phase, and two Auxiliary Lunar Dark Phases.
As agreed, Mu Qingtong would be the Lunar Bright Phase, leading this result. She had the authority to terminate the Four Moons process at any time, and even to convert it into a Dual Moon result by removing the two Auxiliary Lunar Dark Phases.
Thus, Xia Feng would naturally be the Primary Lunar Dark Phase, responsible for controlling the two Auxiliary Lunar Dark Phases, releasing Moon Time and Moon Void particles together to impact the Lunar Bright Phase.
As for how Mu Qingtong could maintain self-consistency under the impact of the power of these three people and achieve perfect fusion, it depended on her talent.
“Before establishing the Moon Phases, I need to remind you two that although you are auxiliaries, you are not without danger.”
Xia Feng turned his head and said seriously, “You should understand that after the result is terminated, you may not be able to withstand the Power of the Dao Fruit and become Time Patients who have lost the concept of time. That state is no different from that of a mentally disabled child.”
Losing the concept of time was akin to the world’s progress fluctuating rapidly or slowly within one’s visual field, possibly even reaching a point where a century or a millennium passed in the blink of an eye.
Cha Nai Xue and Jiang Qiue naturally knew the dangers involved, but opportunity always came with risk. Moreover,
both of them wanted to become stronger, especially Cha Nai Xue, who did not want to lag too far behind Little Feng and become a burden to Little Feng’s master.
“Let’s begin, establish the Moon Phases.” she nodded, her tone serious.
Jiang Qiue remained silent, her gaze ethereal and calm. Seeing this, Xia Feng nodded and closed his eyes.
Instantly, the surrounding world darkened, with only the black-dressed woman emitting a clear moonlight.
Her waist-length silver hair, with streaks of purple at the tips, fluttered. Quietly, three pairs of hands forged from starlight appeared around her.
One pair was large, and two were slender.
They embraced her waist from the front, her shoulders from the left, and her ears and hair lightly from the right.
The sea of stars in her abdomen seemed like a Cosmic Plane being eroded by darkness, and boundless black mist spread from the outside inward.
If one looked closely, they would discover that the darkness was actually composed of countless pitch-black particles, like a trillion invading legions from beyond the universe, rapidly attacking and approaching the center of the sea of stars.
As the darkness grew, the black-dressed woman tilted her slender neck back, her ethereal figure floating. Her cool golden eyes contracted imperceptibly.
She could feel that if any step was wrong from this point on, both she and Mr. Xia could suffer a backlash and lose their concept of time.
