Only to see Zhan Tian furrowing his eyebrows, staring at him as if he were a monster.

"Wh...what’s wrong, Elder Zhan?"

Chen Xuan, feeling a little guilty from being stared at, quickly asked.

"I suddenly feel really sympathetic for the geniuses of this generation."

"How unfortunate to be living in the same era as you, this freak!"

"What rotten luck!"

Zhan Tian said leisurely.

"Elder Zhan, you can’t blame me for this, can you?"

Chen Xuan was at a loss.

Being strong is wrong now? That’s a rather unreasonable statement.

"Alright, let’s not talk nonsense with you."

"Feedback does exist. Jade Bone and apertures complement each other, but I only encountered this after opening ten apertures."

"You encountered it upon opening the third...I really don’t know."

"Yet I speculate it might be related to the grade of your Jade Bone; it’s good news, you need not worry."

Zhan Tian said calmly.

But his inner thoughts were far from the calm demeanor, quite shaken indeed!

Not just because he encountered feedback upon the third aperture, but also the speed at which he opened them was too rapid.

When he opened the first ten apertures, it averaged one per year.

The next twenty required about a year and a half per aperture.

Having opened a total of 38 apertures, it took approximately over 50 years.

The thirty-ninth aperture had taken decades, so he simply gave up.

In comparison to Chen Xuan, he felt like a complete failure.

Not to mention the younger generation, even when facing Chen Xuan, he felt deeply discouraged.

Way too damn oppressive!

"Ten apertures for one feedback."

"If I’m at the third...could it be possible I receive feedback every three apertures instead?"

Chen Xuan muttered, asking Zhan Tian.

"How would I know, you’ll know after opening the sixth aperture."

Zhan Tian now really didn’t want to talk to him.

Feedback every three apertures, if it were true, his Seventh Grade Jade Bone might fully reach Ninth Grade!

"Damn it, you brat, truly freakish!"

"Feedback every three apertures!"

"Dare to imagine that!"

Zhan Tian couldn’t handle it, cursing again.

Chen Xuan simply rolled his eyes, "There’s a kid here, can’t you be more gracious, old man!"

"Humph!"

Zhan Tian snorted in dissatisfaction, but glanced at Xiaoqi with his peripheral vision, seeing it as still a child, he restrained himself and cursed no more.

"Right, tomorrow I will send Xiaoqi to the Star Hall; the Hall Master said upon Realm Breakthrough he’ll train Xiaoqi further."

"Are you coming?"

Star Hall?

Thinking of the Hall Master made Chen Xuan rather repulsed; really that old man was too freakish, constantly needing to be cautious before him.

Although the old man said he wouldn’t watch him anymore, Chen Xuan still felt uneasy.

But Xiaoqi...

Looking at him, he, as a father, still wished to watch him grow up.

"Just as my hidden talent last time upgraded, test it before the old man."

After contemplating, he spoke, "I’ll go!"

"You’re not afraid?"

Zhan Tian showed a mischievous smile.

"Afraid of what?"

"Brat, I have righteousness all over, nothing to fear!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhan Tian sneered, that brat was super fishy, yet dared to claim himself full of righteousness.

He considered himself thick-skinned enough.

But Chen Xuan? Completely shameless!

...

Early the next morning!

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the Star Hall.

Zhan Tian, Chen Xuan, and Xiaoqi stepped off the carriage one after another.

The guards at the entrance quickly greeted them, "Welcome, Elder Zhan. Lord Hall Master has given instructions, you may enter directly."

"Hmm!"

Zhan Tian nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

The Hall Master is the top predictor in Great Yu, sensing their arrival for such a minor matter is not unusual.

Whereas Chen Xuan’s expression turned serious.

"Such a terrifying old man!"

The next moment the latent talent was pushed to its fullest, completely concealing himself.

"Hmm?"

Zhan Tian raised an eyebrow, preparing to enter the Star Hall, he turned his head for another look.

A complete blur!

That’s the feeling Chen Xuan was giving him at this moment.

"Elder Zhan, go inside!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

"You brat!"

Zhan Tian shook his head, not expecting him to fear Lord Hall Master so much.

But he said no more.

The three of them entered the Star Hall, arriving at the great hall where the Hall Master resided.

"Greetings, Hall Master!"

Zhan Tian gently called, while Chen Xuan and Xiaoqi made a slight bow, "Greetings, Lord Hall Master."

The Hall Master slowly opened his eyes, then stood up.

Examining them, and as his gaze fell upon Chen Xuan, he let out a puzzled sound briefly, then smiled.

"Little rascal!"

Guarding against him like that!

However, he paid no mind, having seen what he needed last time; yet this little rascal’s concealment tricks did catch his eye.

Then he gestured towards Xiaoqi, "Come here, Xiaoqi!"

"Hall Master Grandpa!"

Xiaoqi smiled and walked over.

Only to see the Hall Master place one hand on his forehead, his star-like eyes suddenly emitted colorful lights.

After a moment!

"Mm!"

The Hall Master nodded in comfort, "Very good, Spiritual Martial is nearing balance. Spirit Cultivator slightly weak, but just a few days needed."

"Hiss—"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes; remarkable, he easily saw Xiaoqi’s Spiritual Martial state, which is not merely seeing his cultivation, but attaining a unity and balance point, even he finds difficult.

"Go, walk beneath the Yin Yang Ring!"

The Hall Master instructed.

"Mm!"

Xiaoqi obediently walked beneath the Yin Yang Ring and then sat down cross-legged, familiar with the procedure.

During the month of cultivation in the Star Hall, that’s how he practiced.

Then, the Hall Master injected a spiritual power into the Yin Yang Ring.

Suddenly!

"Rumble..."

The Yin Yang Ring slowly started revolving, and unexpectedly, stars appeared at the top of the great hall, twinkling, and beams of starlight falling upon the Yin Yang Ring.

In an instant!

The Yin Yang Ring emitted a multicolored beam of light illuminating Xiaoqi.

Basking in the multicolored beam of light, Xiaoqi immediately looked satisfied.

"What a strange feeling!"

Despite being outside the Yin Yang Ring, star particles appeared in his sea of consciousness, surrounding his divine soul.

"So comfortable!"
