Chapter 2016 - 83: Leap_2

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but glance at Zhang Xiaoman with a touch of resentment. The latter felt her gaze and gave her a slightly apologetic smile.

There was no choice. To speed up progress, Zhang Xiaoman could only bring her here. However, as long as ultimate success was achieved, he didn’t mind offering her more compensation.

At this moment, it was unclear what the Demon Princess had told the outside. She seemed to have given some instructions to Yan through sound transmission, and the Divine Country was in an uproar.

Clusters of chaotic energy gathered in the air, emitting strong light that was blinding to the eyes.

While Zhang Xiaoman and his group were still unsure of what was happening, they saw the intense light composed of spiritual power suddenly contract, and the chaotic aura disappeared, revealing a small and exquisite figure.

"Chaos Spirit Flower!?"

Zhang Xiaoman was dumbfounded, Huancai was shocked, and even Ni Yang couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

What was that? That was an Unlimited Level treasure, the Chaos Spirit Flower! Previously, Zhang Xiaoman was curious about what method the Demon Princess would use to assist him, but he never expected her to employ such an absurd and explosive means, completely beyond his expectations.

A Chaos Spirit Flower, an Unlimited Level treasure, was produced out of thin air. Is this the power of a Dominator? No wonder when the Sharp Commander offered the Chaos Spirit Flower, the Demon Princess showed a disdainful face. It turned out she could easily obtain such things and naturally wouldn’t value the offering.

"This Chaos Spirit Flower wasn’t created by me, but by Little Yan. Its Dream Realm can consolidate this Divine Country, so naturally, it can also manifest a Chaos Spirit Flower."

The Demon Princess said.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman immediately came to his senses.

It turned out, his attention was all drawn by the Demon Princess earlier, and her brilliance was so magnificent that he forgot there was a Dominator Level being here, and that was Yan.

Yan, as a master of manipulating the Dream Realm, was practically the ancestor of those dream masters. Even Zhang Xiaoman himself had the potential to manifest a Chaos Spirit Flower, let alone an existence like Yan.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.

"No wonder the Demon Princess said she could solve the material issue for me. It seems she wasn’t boasting. In front of her, these materials are probably trivial, as they can be obtained effortlessly..."

This feeling made Zhang Xiaoman envious. He would like to play like this, but only in the Original Realm, where materials cannot be taken out due to the fundamental issue of boundary value difference.

Thus, Zhang Xiaoman once again obtained the materials he needed, and the imprinting of the fifth star pattern began again.

...

"Boom!!"

Time was unknown how long had passed. At the edge of the Chaotic Void, a brilliant light exploded in the void, with terrifying waves of spiritual power spreading in all directions centered on Zhang Xiaoman.

He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, with spiritual power surging within him, seemingly on the verge of being uncontrollable.

On his right arm, the pattern of the Eye of the Starry Sky, representing Prosperous, was vividly shining, emitting five different-colored glows—the star pattern.

The five-colored pattern indicated this was the rare fifth star pattern throughout the Second Universe, crafted by the Star Pattern Master Huancai. It could be said that from ancient times till now, only a few in this world possessed such power.

"Succeeded."

Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, in which divine brilliance flashed as if piercing through this space and penetrating the gray mist ahead.

Yes, this time Huancai succeeded directly, without failing again, maintaining her reputation as a Star Pattern Master.

"Just after completing the imprint, my strength has increased to such an extent. If I fully absorb and complete nurturing, my dark spiritual power might catch up to Ni Yang’s."

Zhang Xiaoman was excited, as his increase in strength was gratifying. It was worth the efforts he put into finding the materials.

The main point was that his rise in power was unlike others’. He had no bottlenecks and didn’t need to spend vast amounts of time comprehending the dark spiritual power sequence one by one. He just needed to mindlessly increase his energy layer, and as long as the spiritual power was sufficient, he was an Upper Transcendent Level dominator.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Zhang Xiaoman stood up and was the first to salute the Demon Princess.

This time, his success was due to her assistance. Although these materials might not be precious to the Demon Princess, they were top-tier treasures for Zhang Xiaoman.

"Hmm, not bad."

The Demon Princess just nodded and responded, still maintaining a calm demeanor.

Zhang Xiaoman then looked at Huancai and took out the remaining Life Seed from his storage ring, along with a large bundle of World Tree sprouts, and handed them to her.

"Thank you for your assistance. These are the rewards we agreed upon earlier, and a little extra as a gesture."

Though it was just a transaction, Zhang Xiaoman was happy to complete the imprint, even if he failed once. For the final good result, it also required expressing gratitude to Huancai.

"Hey, kid, what about me? I helped quite a lot too!"

Ni Yang came over to join the fun.

"Oh, really? Like how?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at it with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Ni Yang scratched its head for a while before coming up with a reason.

"For example, during your half-month of imprinting, I was always by your side cheering for you. Although I didn’t say it aloud, I was watching over you in my heart."

Zhang Xiaoman laughed but then seemed a bit stunned.

"Wait, just now, did you say my imprint took how long?"

He wondered if he heard wrong or if Ni Yang remembered incorrectly.

During the imprinting process, Zhang Xiaoman was in meditation, so he wasn’t clear on the perception of external time. To him, only a short moment had passed, but knowing the meditation routine, this short time might be unpredictable.

But now, upon hearing Ni Yang’s words, only half a month had passed? Zhang Xiaoman found it hard to believe.

In his assumption, it should have taken at least decades. After all, Huancai had said herself that it took her 50 years to complete an imprint. How could it only take him half a month?

"Indeed...half a month."

Beside him, Huancai looked at him with a peculiar expression, her eyes complex.

Half a month, only half a month!!

Compared to Zhang Xiaoman’s relatively calm demeanor, Huancai’s internal turmoil was much more intense.

Yes, the mechanism for the fifth star pattern’s imprint was unique. The time taken depended on the spiritual power talent of the imprinter—the stronger the talent, the shorter the time required.

But...but...but not this fast! Half a month, this is simply unbelievable! Previously she thought her 50 years was relatively short, but compared to Zhang Xiaoman’s talent, she wasn’t even worthy of lifting his shoes!

Huancai suddenly didn’t know what to say, just stared at Zhang Xiaoman dazedly, still finding it hard to believe.

"Huancai?"

Zhang Xiaoman spoke to draw her attention back.

"Huancai, since we completed the imprint, the next step should be the nurturing phase. I would like to ask if there’s a suitable formation, as a Star Pattern Master, to significantly accelerate my absorption process... Of course, I will pay you for it, so you don’t have to worry."

Zhang Xiaoman presented his request.
