Chapter 639: 638. Bring the lady back to Blue Star
Early the next morning, Lu Yao woke up from a good sleep.
Now, with his essence abundant, he only needed to rest once a month, but "spring sleep, unaware of dawn," sleeping was indeed a delightful thing for both body and mind.
Standing in the center of the courtyard, Lu Yao took a deep breath and slowly began performing a set of Liao Family Fist. As he moved with ease, a faint "will" also spread out.
Unlike the violent will during battle, the will at this moment was full of leisure and warmth, encompassing the joy of "life," prompting a gentle breeze to blow through the mountains.
Wherever the wind passed, dots of green sprouted, and then, amazingly, a slow blossoming of peach blossoms began to occur across the hills! The flowers were pink and white, set against the green leaves; truly, "layers of clouds and trees turn green as a strip of red dawn kindles the peaches."
Lu Yao exhaled, slowly finishing his form, and immediately there was applause from the side.
"What a 'Fist Spirit Filling the Mountain with Fragrance,' life and death revolving at will, your fist is nearly one with the Dao!"
It turned out to be Yu Yanmei, who had come at some unknown time and was now clapping in admiration.
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Good people receive good karma, clearing the Will of the Evil God has brought me quite a few benefits."
After spending more than two months in the Demon Race Minor World, although he fought against Demon Foxes and female Grandmasters every day, he had still focused most of his energy on important matters.
At that moment, Yu Yanmei slowly unsheathed the Longquan Sword, her voice like water striking cold ice, "You haven't been too distracted by that vixen's charm, so I can rest easy. Come on~ let me chop a couple of times to try it out."
It turns out that the Moon Fairy had already discovered Lu Yao's "little secret" after the long two months.
He immediately chuckled awkwardly in explanation, "Ha, this... I was actually seeking a path for humans and the Demon Race to coexist in harmony..."
Before he could finish, Yu Yanmei had already raised her sword to strike! The Longquan Sword, infused with True Qi and Indestructible Will, spat out dangerous sword glints!
And Lu Yao simply raised his arm to block, and with a "clang," sparks flew, leaving only a white mark on the Longquan Sword!
There were no flashy special effects on him, as if he were an ordinary person, but his defensive strength had become several times stronger than before.
His cells were still emitting Indestructible Will, but unlike before, the cry was no longer frantic but calm and natural, as if "unbreakable and indestructible" was a matter of course.
Yu Yanmei, whose strike contained a grudge, couldn't break through his defense, and her technique was inherently in line with nature.
Previously, the "sparkle with lightning" effects were indeed inferior - such a "return to simplicity" was actually the mark of completely controlling one's power, without any leakage or waste.
Yu Yanmei then pointed her sword at the little man's groin, with the sword tip hissing as it nearly hit its target.
This time, Lu Yao did not resist; instead, he adeptly sidestepped the blow, while saying, "Take it easy~"
Yu Yanmei, gritting her teeth with a smile, said, "Anyway, you can grow it back~" While talking, her sword continued to slice.
"That could cause unspeakable psychological trauma..." Lu Yao dodged several successive sword strikes, feeling a significant chill down below.
To avoid truly being cut, he quickly changed the subject, "Hold on, I'm thinking of advancing to the Primordial Realm after fully mastering the Golden Body Realm."
Hearing this, Yu Yanmei immediately waved her hand and asked, "The Primordial Realm! Isn't that a bit hasty? How confident are you?"
Her little man had mentioned this realm before, which involved undergoing "Fusion" within the body to achieve an even more abundant energy source.
According to his description, it was tantamount to turning oneself into a Mini Sun, truly perilous!
Lu Yao also pondered, "Indeed, it's not so easy. Right now... I have about a fifty percent chance, and that's with a reference."
He took out the "Fusion Crystal" left by the Primordial Ancestor, which reflected a beautiful spectrum of light in the sunlight, completely belying the terrifying energy contained within.
It very much resembled a Vampire's "Blood Core," Yu Yanmei's brows furrowed deeply, "But after all, you're human, vastly different from Demon Beasts. This thing has limited use, doesn't it?"
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes, but 'breaking new ground' is always better than having nothing at all."
```
The Primordial Realm is the final stage of the Martial Path, where it's no longer possible to have perfect references as before. From now on, one must rely on oneself.
Lu Yao had already begun to formulate some preliminary ideas.
Blue Star had been conducting research on "controlled nuclear fusion", and there had been news stating—Xia Country had managed to sustain a 1.2 billion degree Celsius artificial sun for 101 seconds.
In this case, all it would take is a trip home to experience "controlled nuclear fusion" from a close range.
At the same time, Lu Yao looked up at the splendidly shining sun in the sky, the massive fireball 150 million kilometers away from the Blue Star, selflessly providing energy for all life on the planet.
It would be apt to take a tour to the sun, to truly comprehend the miracle of this celestial body, and turn it into sustenance for his ascension.
Additionally, Lu Yao wouldn't mind surviving a few nuclear bombs, to more directly experience the terrifying destructive power of fusion. By now, he had acquired the means to withstand nuclear weapons.
With efforts from various fronts, he would surely greatly deepen his understanding of the Primordial Realm and maximize his chances of breakthrough.

"At the same time, the practice of the Martial Path must not cease, and most crucially, nurturing the flesh with the spirit of ingenuity! Raising the physical body to its limits!"
With that, Lu Yao quickly formulated the "Primordial Mirror Breakthrough Plan".
Yu Yanmei stood quietly by his side, not making a sound to interrupt, her eyes clear as water, unblinkingly watching him.
With a third of the spirit of ingenuity remaining, Lu Yao felt it was enough for the time being. Next, he could return to the Blue Star.
He looked up and said, "I'll need to be away for a few days."
Yu Yanmei's eyes sparkled with interest as she said, "Are you going back to your own minor world again?"
That Lu Yao possessed a "minor world" was no longer a secret. Every return trip would bring a trove of novel and practical items, invoking the curiosity of several women, yet they always refrained from asking too much.
At this moment, Lu Yao suddenly thought: with his current strength, there was no need for any concern. Perhaps he should bring a few wives back home to comfort the spirits of his parents in heaven…
As he contemplated this, Li Pei suddenly returned from the Imperial Palace.
The Empress, upon seeing Lu Yao, immediately approached with a flirtatious smile, her phoenix eyes curving, "My lord is truly skillful. Recently, there are rumors rife in the martial circles that Ran Qingying, a top contender for the title of the most beautiful martial artist, has actually lost her virtue to you?"
As she spoke, her hand had already pinched and twisted the soft flesh of Lu Yao's waist, "How despicable! It was on the New Year's feast, wasn't it? No wonder you didn't return all night!"
Lu Yao revealed an embarrassed yet polite smile and said, "It's good that you're back. I have something to discuss…"
But before he could finish, Yu Yanmei had already called forth the "Divine Sword Tai'a", targeting three inches below his navel.
"Lu Xiaozi, perhaps I should just castrate you and get you a new one! The old one is too dirty!"
As she spoke, she moved to strike! The Tai'a Sword also sounded eager with its excited sword cries.
Lu Yao quickly interjected, "Hold on, hold on, let me finish what I have to say first."
Taking a deep breath, he spoke earnestly, "Would you like to go visit my world? You could also see what 'fusion' is."
Upon hearing this, both women were initially wide-eyed with shock, and then filled with immense joy, no longer concerned with their man's infidelity.
"Hurry up and pack, and let Liao Ya and Liao Qe know too."
Lu Yao urged the women to get ready, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, in this Otherworld, especially for top martial artists, the acceptance of polygyny was already taken for granted, even considered a mark of a man's charm. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to gloss over the matter.
