Chapter 498: Chapter 360: Refine all 5 planets, breakthrough !_2
“Off to Mercury first!”
This was his thought.
Xuanqing’s figure turned into tiny star-like dots with a wave of his whisk, disappearing from Qingping Holy Mountain.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived on Mercury.
Mercury!
As a planet in the solar system, although its name is ‘Mercury’, there isn’t a single drop of water on it.
Even it can be said:
Mercury is the most water-deficient planet in the solar system, thanks to its long day-night cycle and extreme temperature differences.
The reason Mercury is called ‘Mercury’ is only because ancient people, according to the principles of the Yin-yang Five Elements, found that Mercury was just in the position of the ‘Water’ element among the Five Elements, so it got its name.
Worth mentioning is:
Like the Moon, Mercury also has no atmosphere, causing many comets to be captured and crash on Mercury’s surface. This has littered the surface of the planet with large and small pits.
“Start practice!”
As before.
Xuanqing came to the place where he had set up a teleport array on Mercury before.
Next.
He gathered his legs and started revolving his Cultivation Method, and the Devouring Sky Tree began to absorb the origin. Its illusory roots, reaching out from the Heavenly Eye, penetrated deep into Mercury.
“Initiate time acceleration!”
In this way.
In the time that followed.
Using time acceleration, he rapidly absorbed the origin. After the time acceleration function was over, he bought planet materials to replenish the planet’s loss, then recuperated his physical body, and when his body was well-rested, he continued using time acceleration.
In summary, this was a cycle repeating itself!
Half a year later!
“Phew-”
Xuanqing opened his eyes, awakening from his closed-door practice.

After this half-year-long practice, he had finally fully absorbed Mercury.
As for the progress of his practice, it did not disappoint him. After absorbing the last bit of Mercury’s origin… his Devouring Sky Tree metamorphosis percentage had reached sixty percent!
“Next… All I have to do is absorb Mars and Saturn, and the Devouring Sky Tree will fully metamorphose into maturity!”
Xuanqing stood up, his profound eyes gazing into the deep universe.
The next moment.
His figure turned into stardots and disappeared on Mercury, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived on Mars.
Mars.
The planet rumoured to be most likely capable of fostering life.
Its geological makeup… is close to that of Mercury Blue, and it has its own atmosphere, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide, followed by nitrogen and argon, and a small amount of oxygen and water vapour.
That’s right!
This is a planet with ‘water’, the origin that is indispensable for life’s inception.
It’s just a pity.
He had not discovered life on Mars, not even a single microorganism. It was no different from other planets, with huge temperature differences between day and night and a desolate environment.
“Continue to practice!”
Xuanqing sat cross-legged at the site of the teleportation array, casually setting up a barrier formation like when he was on Mercury, and began to cultivate in seclusion wholeheartedly again.
Operating his cultivation techniques!
Using time acceleration, then replenishing the planet with lost matter after finishing, and finally recuperating his physical body. After doing these, he repeated the previous actions.
In this way…
Another half year passed in the blink of an eye.
“Done!”
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
A year has passed since the beginning of his closed-door practice, and during this year, he had absorbed and integrated the two planets of Mercury and Mars.
“Time flies by during practice. It’s been a year in the blink of an eye. I have finally absorbed the two planets of water and fire. Now there’s only one last planet left: Saturn!”
Xuanqing whispered softly.
However.
Before heading to Saturn, he must first return to Water Blue Star because after absorbing and integrating the two planets of water and fire, he only had six trillion Yuan Bao left, and integrating a planet like this would require about fifteen trillion.
“Return to Water Blue Star to collect incense fire, then go to Mars for practice!”
Xuanqing waved the whisk in his hand and disappeared from Mars.
Mercury is blue.
Returning to Qingping Holy Mountain.
Even though a year had passed, nothing had really changed on Water Blue Star except that there were more newborns.
“Swallow Heaven Saint Art!”
Xuanqing ran his Cultivation Technique, gathering all the Incense Fire on Qingping Mountain, and his God Soul emerged from his body to envelop it; finally, in his heart he muttered:
“Recharge.”
[Beep… +14.6 trillion!]
There are 365 days in a year and he had gained a total of 14.6 trillion, which still totals to about 400 billion per day.
“So, the incense fire income of the Water Blue Star is now stable at about four hundred billion yuan a day?”
Xuanqing muttered to himself softly.
Speaking of which,
With the total population of Water Blue Star remaining the same, its incense fire income would inevitably cease to increase after reaching a certain level and would stay at a stable number.
Under such circumstances, to break through the daily income of over 400 billion, he would have to wait for a decade or so for the population of Water Blue Star to increase.
That’s why his many development strategies leaned towards improving the lives of the common people of Water Blue Star.
Because only when their lives improve and they gain hope for the future, will they be willing to have children and hold to the idea of having many children bring great fortune.
However,
Population growth cannot be achieved overnight, but at least the new birth rate of Water Blue Star has been exploding since the establishment of the Great Yan Federation.
It shouldn’t take many years for the population to increase by multiples, by then… the incense fire income will also multiply accordingly.
Of course, this is a bit far-fetched for him; right now, the most important thing for him is to convert Yuan Bao to Cultivation and break through to the realm of the mature Swallowing Sky Tree as soon as possible.
“View Character Panel!”
Xuanqing muttered in his heart.
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Virtue Holy Body.
[Grade]: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation]: Devouring Sky Tree Sapling (80%)
[Cultivation Method]: Swallow Heaven Saint Art
[Divine Ability]: One Dust Suppressing Heaven (Perfect)
[Yuan Bao]: 20.6 Trillion
On the Character Panel,
His “Swallow Heaven Saint Art” had absorbed and refined the Four Elements Gold, Wood, Water, Fire after devouring the four major planets, with its practice progress having reached eighty percent. He only needed to absorb and refine the final planets of Mercury and Venus for the Devouring Sky Tree to enter maturity.
And in the Yuan Bao column, he had accumulated 14.6 trillion in one year’s time, adding to the previous 6 trillion, he now had a total of 20.6 trillion!
“I only need 15 trillion to refine Mercury, and after doing so, I will still have excess.”
Xuanqing’s mouth raised slightly in satisfaction.
As long as he can cultivate the Devouring Sky Tree to its mature stage, he would have the confidence to deal with the mysterious creature on the sun.
At that time… he could ‘overpower’ that mysterious creature into telling him why it called him the Ancient Archon, and what exactly the Ancient Archon was, and what kind of secrets this silent universe holds.
He had a feeling,
He would certainly be able to learn from that mysterious creature about the knowable secrets of the Universe Space in the Real World!
“Go to Saturn for cultivation, to prepare for the next breakthrough!”
Xuanqing stood up.
He swung the duster in his hand and left Water Blue Star by crossing through the space. The next time he reappeared, he had arrived on the surface of Saturn.
Saturn.
There’s nothing much to describe, apart from slight differences in cost, there’s essentially no difference between it and the other major planets; it’s still, after all, a planet.
Following the same steps.
Upon arriving at the location of the previously constructed teleportation array, Xuanqing casually set up the formation and began to practice.
“Swallow Heaven Saint Art!”
“Use time acceleration…”
“Purchase planetary matter…”
Running the Cultivation Technique, using the quantifier’s acceleration function, and lastly replenishing the lost matter of the planet, this one-stop trip completes a cultivation session.
Cycle repeated!
Just like that.
Time flies, and cultivation knows no seasons.
In a blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Finally!
Saturn was completely refined-
