Urban Awakening: I can continue to evolve my superpowers

Xu Jingming dared not say anything and silently followed behind the black-haired woman.

The woman's steps were light and graceful, seemingly leisurely, but in reality, she moved at an extremely fast pace.

Of course, this is a slower pace.

Otherwise, as a peak Star Radiance cultivator, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with this peak Eternal Life cultivator.

Soon, Xu Jingming followed the woman in black and landed on the summit of Tianfeng Mountain.

The area is shrouded in mist and filled with a rich aura of primal energy, the concentration of which is many times higher than that of Noah's Holy Land!

"We've arrived," the woman in black said in a cool voice.

Xu Jingming looked up and saw a simple, ancient building standing quietly not far in front of him.

The small building was constructed entirely of some kind of deep black crystal, its surface covered with intricate runes, shimmering with a mysterious luster under the starlight.

The building is small, but it gives people a feeling of vastness and abyss, as if it connects to some unknown universe.

"follow me."

The woman in black strode forward with her shapely, long legs.

Black combat boots clattered as they stepped onto the stairs.

Xu Jingming composed himself and followed closely behind.

The moment he stepped across the threshold, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

The interior of the original small building was actually a space that resembled a starry sky!

Countless stars circulate in the void, forming a vast star map.

Beneath my feet lies a path paved with starlight, leading to the depths of the starry sky.

"This is a spatial manipulation technique!"

From the outside it looks like just a small building, but the inside is surprisingly spacious!

Xu Jingming was shocked.

This method was beyond his comprehension.

Following the woman in black along the path of starlight, the two eventually arrived before an ice crystal throne suspended in the void.

On the throne, a figure sat quietly.

Xu Jingming finally met this legendary figure.

Frost Crown Sovereign!

She was stunningly beautiful, dressed in an ice-blue battle dress with a hem that cascaded down like the Milky Way, sparkling with starlight.

Her long, silver-blue hair fell casually down to her slender waist, with tiny ice crystals shimmering at the ends.

Her skin was whiter than the purest snow.

Her long, slender neck has beautiful lines, and her collarbone is as delicate as a work of art.

Beneath the long dress, her breathtaking curves were faintly visible, her waist so slender it could be grasped in one hand.

But what shocked Xu Jingming the most were those eyes!

Her beautiful silver-blue eyes seemed to contain the secrets of the entire universe, where countless stars were born and perished.

When those eyes looked over, he felt as if he had been completely seen through, from body to soul, and all his secrets were exposed.

"Student Xu Jingming pays respects to Lord Frost Crown!"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Xu Jingming bowed slightly in greeting.

"Well, get up."

The voice of the Frost Crown Sovereign rang out, clear and cold like the clash of ice crystals.

Yet it carries a strange rhythm, as if the laws of the universe are resonating within it.

Xu Jingming straightened up, but dared not look directly into those all-seeing eyes.

"At the ninth level of Star Radiance, the strength of his physique and mental power both reached around 70 billion, far exceeding that of a typical peak Star Radiance."

You possess the bloodline of the Thunder Prison Demon, but not by nature; you acquired it later through a bloodline secret technique.

It's not low-level; it should be a bloodline secret technique at the Dominator level.

The second level of the Law of Lightning, the first level of the Law of Destruction.

Within the Star Rank, you are indeed considered excellent.

The voice of the Frost Crown Sovereign resounded throughout the entire space.

Xu Jingming felt his heart skip a beat.

Before the Frost Crown Sovereign, he was like a transparent person, all his trump cards were seen through at a glance!

His physical and mental strength data were exactly the same, and even his bloodline secret technique was detected!

Keep in mind, he didn't reveal any aura whatsoever.

"If you can clear the Star Abyss Death Realm, you are qualified to become my disciple."

The voice of the Frost Crown Sovereign rang out once more.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming was overjoyed.

But before he could react, the Frost Crown Sovereign spoke up:

"I'll give you 500 years if you can learn the first level of the Source Core Secret Manual."

I will accept you as my personal disciple; otherwise, you will lose your status as a nominal disciple.

Source Core Secret Book?

What kind of secret technique is this?

Just as Xu Jingming was wondering.

The Frost Crown Sovereign looked over with her beautiful silver-blue eyes.

In an instant, Xu Jingming felt a thunderous explosion in his mind!

Countless profound pieces of information poured in like a torrent, forming a vast and complex secret manual—the "Source Core Manual"!

These messages were imprinted directly on his soul, crystal clear.

Xu Jingming could even 'see' the opening text of the secret manual:

'All things in the universe are composed of a source core. To change the source core is to change its essence...'

"The Source Core Secret Manual is the most core cultivation technique of my lineage."

Once you successfully enter this path, it can change your genetic level and elevate the essence of your soul.

Frost Crown Sovereign explained, his voice still cold, yet it sent a jolt through Xu Jingming's mind.

Genetic level and soul essence—aren't these things only something that can be improved upon when breaking through to a higher realm?

It's possible to change things through cultivation manuals? This completely overturned his understanding!

Seemingly sensing Xu Jingming's shock, the Frost Crown Sovereign continued:

"I have placed a restriction on this 'Source Core Secret Manual'."

You cannot tell others this in any way, and others cannot obtain it in any way, not even through the enslavement of their souls.

"And if you fail to complete the first level of cultivation within five hundred years..."

The Frost Crown Sovereign looked over with those silver-blue eyes:

"This secret manual, along with the memory of your meeting with me, will disappear from your soul."

If you are willing to accept these conditions, then you will be my disciple.

If you refuse, then I will now reclaim the "Protocore Codex" and reward you with 100 million points as compensation.

How could they be so domineering?

Xu Jingming was deeply shaken.

But he quickly realized that this precisely demonstrated the rarity and value of the "Source Core Codex"!

As for giving up?

Are you kidding? How could that be?

How can 100 million points compare to such a heaven-defying secret technique?

Moreover, with the system, even the most difficult secret manuals can be learned!

Without hesitation, he bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Xu Jingming greets Master!"

The Frost Crown Sovereign nodded slightly, accepting the disciple by name.

Her gaze shifted to the woman in black who had been standing quietly to the side: "This is your senior sister, Ye Li."

Xu Jingming then learned the woman in black's name and quickly bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ye Li."

Ye Li simply nodded, her eyes, as cold as stars, revealing no emotion.

“From now on, she will come to guide you in practicing the ‘Source Core Secret Manual’ once a month.”

You can ask her any questions you have about the cultivation of the Laws of Destruction and the Laws of Lightning.

Frost Crown Sovereign spoke, "Moreover, as my nominal disciple."

You are rewarded with a month of training in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm.

Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm?

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up slightly.

It costs 150 points to stay in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm for one hour.

In just one month, the value alone is equivalent to more than 10 points!
