After parting with Luo Guxie, Yun Wuji returned to his residence. The palace assigned to him looked small from the outside, but inside, it was incredibly spacious, and equipped with numerous facilities. Among them, the cultivation rooms were the ones Yun Wuji used the most.
The cultivation room was over 4,000 kilometers wide, practically a small world of its own. Unlike the cultivation room in the Snow Song Realm, which was a world of ice, this one was filled with fire and lightning energy.
The temperature was unbearably high, the ground was fractured with magma seeping through the cracks, and small volcanoes erupted occasionally, sending smoke and ash into the sky.
Overhead, black clouds loomed, and purple lightning violently struck the ground, creating a chaotic and intense atmosphere.
When Yun Wuji stepped inside, the dry, hot air hit his face. However, he didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, thanks to his Heretic God veins, he felt incredibly comfortable. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, letting the fiery energy course through him.
He casually found a good spot and sat down, closing his eyes. Entering a meditative state, he began absorbing the dense energy in the air, letting it flow through him seamlessly.
The energy in this room was more than ten times thicker than the energy outside.
Thinking back to the thin and murky energy of the Blue Pole Star, Yun Wuji thought that when he eventually returned, he would need to adapt to it all over again.
Compared to the main body and the Devil body, the Heretic God body's cultivation speed was noticeably slower.
The main body uses the Law of Nothingness, while the Devil body is recovering its cultivation. Although the Heretic God body's speed can be considered extremely fast, it appears pitifully slow in comparison to the others.
However, it wasn't because he couldn't use the Law of Nothingness to absorb profound cores and jades. On the contrary, since Yun Wuji had already comprehended the Law of Nothingness, he could wield it with any of his bodies. After all, it wasn't a power exclusive to his main body; it depended entirely on his level of understanding.
In the novel, Xia Qingyue didn't possess Yun Che's sacred body, yet she could still use the Law of Nothingness to control the abyssal dust, albeit barely.
This shows that the Law of Nothingness wasn't tied to physical attributes or innate abilities but rather depended on one's comprehension and mastery of its profound principles.
However, understanding the Law of Nothingness came with extremely strict requirements. One needed to traverse space and time and endure the experience of death itself.
These were conditions that were completely impossible for anyone to achieve. Even if someone could die and revive using the Phoenix's Nirvana, it was utterly impossible for them to travel through time.
And even then, they would only scratch the surface of the Law; without the Sacred Body, they could never truly comprehend it.
Yun Wuji didn't want to use the Law of Nothingness because he didn't want to expose himself. He had been under Luo Guxie's watch almost all the time, and even now, there was a possibility that he was being monitored by her or the Holy Eaves Realm.
He wasn't willing to take the risk of revealing his abilities.
As for the Devil Body, the reason was simple; the speed at which he was recovering his strength far surpassed the rate of absorbing profound cores or jades. The Devil Body's natural ability to recover made it far more efficient for Yun Wuji to regain his power without relying on external sources.
'Sigh, if only I could send these resources to the main body...' Yun Wuji thought as he gazed at the huge pile of profound cores, sighing. They were just useless junk lying in his storage. If only he could send them to his main body, he would be able to gain a much greater boost in his cultivation.
It wasn't that Yun Wuji didn't have a method to transport the resources; the simplest way was a skill he had that could help him switch places with his main body. However, the problem was that the God Realm was incredibly vast, and the laws of space here were much more complex and powerful than in the lower realms. He simply couldn't perform his skill unless he was within a certain distance.
'I'll think of a way later,' Yun Wuji thought, he didn't want to think too much. He sealed his senses and focused on his cultivation.
...
The news that the Brahma Monarch God Realm was extensively searching for a man across the Eastern Divine Region and had even issued a wanted warrant shocked and intrigued everyone.
The entire region was left curious about the identity of the man who could provoke the strongest King Realm to take such extreme measures.
In the history of the Eastern Divine Region, cases of a King Realm issuing a wanted warrant for someone were exceedingly rare. Usually, they would prefer to deal with such matters in secret. This could only mean that, despite the vast power and resources of the Brahma Monarch God Realm, they had failed to find him and were now relying on the people of the Eastern Divine Region to help locate him.
Who exactly is this man who could hide from the Brahma Monarch God Realm?!
"Damn it! This bastard, why is he always recklessly looking for trouble?!" In the Star God Realm, a certain scarlet-haired Star God anxiously paced around her palace. As she walked, her left hand gripped a Profound Imagery Stone tightly.
Who else could it be but our not-so-beloved tsundere, Jasmine?
She ran away precisely because she didn't want to drag him into her problems and endanger his life. Yet, she never expected him to immediately provoke even bigger trouble the moment he stepped into the God Realm.
After a short while, Jasmine stopped pacing and lifted her head. Her blood-red eyes became incredibly sharp, and her hand clenched tightly around the Profound Imagery Stone. A bone-chilling killing intent radiated from her body. "I need to find him quickly! Brahma Monarch God Realm! Qianye Ying'er! You already took my brother from me, I will never allow you to take Yun Wuji as well!!!"

Back in the Snow Song Realm, in the cultivation room, a large number of profound crystals, jades, and cores surrounded Yun Wuji.
He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, deep in his consciousness space, with the Law of Nothingness activated, absorbing the energy from the profound crystals, jades, and cores.
Suddenly, the space around Yun Wuji rippled, as if an invisible wave had swept through it.
In that instant, all the profound crystals surrounding Yun Wuji shattered soundlessly, and the air within a fifteen-kilometer radius was forcefully expelled. Profound energy leaked from Yun Wuji's body, but the very next moment, it swiftly began to flow back into him.
Once everything had quieted down, the world within his profound veins had transformed into an even vaster starry sky, stretching out infinitely in every direction.
A profound vein world that contained the power of the 10th-level Divine Soul Realm!
Yun Wuji slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. He stood up, looking around him, all the resources he had gathered over the last month had turned to a pile of dust.
"Well, there are always... slaves...cough, I mean workers to bring more," Yun Wuji muttered with a smile. Every time his strength grew, it meant he was one step closer to his goals.
A transparent grey light flashed as Hei Xiaolian landed beside him. "Master, you broke through! Congratulations!" she exclaimed.
"Hmm," Yun Wuji nodded casually, patting her head and caressing her soft, black, silky hair. He then asked, "You didn't just come out to congratulate me, right?"
Hei Xiaolian grinned, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Of course! My greatest master has made a breakthrough! We need to celebrate this momentous occasion!"
"Pary! Party! Party!"
"..." Yun Wuji's forehead creased, black lines forming as his eyebrows twitched. When did this girl become so shameless? What did she mean by congratulating him, didn't she just want to eat more?
"Agh!! My head! My head! Stop! Stop!" Hei Xiaolian cried out as the hand that had been gently caressing her head turned into a vice-like grip. She flailed her small hands, grabbing at his, trying to loosen his hold. "Master, mercy! Mercy!"
Yun Wuji didn't respond. Instead, he lifted her by the head until her face was level with his and said with a grim smile, "Since you're so eager to celebrate, why don't you take charge of the cooking?"
"...Master, great master, beloved master, please let me go! Ouch! Stop squeezing, stop squeezing!" Hei Xiaolian dangled in the air, her legs flailing helplessly as she struggled to break free, but his grip was just too strong.
After months of practicing the body-thickening technique, Hei Xiaolian was no longer a tiny girl. She had grown to over 150 centimeters in height and had developed some curves.
Her figure was closer to Huan Caiyi's before she had used the body transformation technique. Of course, she was still nowhere near Yun Wuji's type.
"Stop exaggerating, I'm not even holding you that hard," Yun Wuji said dismissively before tossing her aside. Shaking his head, he added with disdain, "Where did you even learn to be this shameless?"
"Hahaha, I learned from the best!" Hei Xiaolian floated in the air, hands on her hips, and laughed. "From you, master!"
