Chapter 1387: Self-Taught Success

“This endless life force! If I can transport it over long distances, I’m bold enough to refine my holy body on the surface of the Holy Sun Star!” exclaimed a disciple from the Body Refinement Lineage.

“Think bigger—go straight to the energy concentration area on the star’s surface and refine yourself between life and death,” another disciple chimed in.

Just then, a live broadcast started in the Body Refinement Lineage channel on the sect’s forum.

“This is Zhao Tie, using the newly emerged life-star from the sect to challenge myself by refining my holy body on the surface of the Holy Sun Star. Brothers, if you’re with me, give me a 666!”

Without hesitation, Zhao Tie broke through space, leaving the Three Thousand Realms and entering the Holy Sun Star’s domain.

The live stream showed the outline of the Holy Sun Star.

The sheer heat radiating from it could be felt even through the screen.

“Zhao Tie, don’t be reckless. The sect’s reincarnation pool isn’t offering any discounts right now. If something goes wrong, you’ll have to pay the full price,” warned one of Zhao Tie’s close brothers.

“Thanks for the concern, Brother. When that massive life-star appeared, I knew my opportunity had come.”

“I’ve been stuck at the peak of the saint realm for years. This time, I’ll use this overwhelming life force to push through to the Great Saint level, even if it means dancing on the edge of death,” Zhao Tie declared with determination.

“Tiezi, go for it. I’ve got your back,” Xiong Li sent in a comment.

“I knew Senior Brother Xiong Li would support me!”

Seeing Xiong Li’s comment, Zhao Tie’s excitement soared as he flew toward the surface of the Holy Sun Star.

As he flew, he narrated his experience in detail.

“Brothers, I’m now within five light armors of the Holy Sun Star. Just two more light armors, and I’ll hit the critical range.”

“Here’s where I need your support. Could you help me crowdsource a chance for revival in the reincarnation pool?”

At that moment, an option popped up on the live stream light curtain: a crowdfunding campaign for a Primordial Purple Qi crystal, which would grant Zhao Tie a free revival in the reincarnation pool.

“So that’s why you’re being so brave! You’ve got this all planned out, huh? Pretty sneaky!”

“We don’t mind crowdfunding, but don’t take us for fools!”

“Go ahead and die first, then we’ll see if we’ll crowdfund for you.”

Facing the flood of comments, Zhao Tie remained unshaken.

“If brothers from other lineages say this about me, fine. But hearing it from my own Body Refinement Lineage brothers? That stings.”

“What am I doing here? I’m blazing a new trail for all of you. As a pioneer, is it too much to ask for a crowdfunded revival chance?” Zhao Tie argued passionately.

“Xiong Li, you tell me—am I being unreasonable?”

“Go ahead first. We’ll talk about the crowdfunding later,” Xiong Li replied.

“Alright, watch me carve out a new path for all of you.”

As Zhao Tie spoke, he entered the third light armor range of the Holy Sun Star.

Instantly, the power of the Holy Sun enveloped him, and the searing heat began to dissolve his body.

At that moment, a channel opened within him.

A surge of immense life force poured into Zhao Tie’s body.

Immediately, this life force clashed with the power of the Holy Sun inside him, setting the stage for an epic struggle.

The holy body was dissolving and restoring simultaneously, and in just a short while, Zhao Tie clearly felt that his holy body had become significantly stronger.

“Brothers, with this life force, refining the holy body here will give us great results with little effort.”

“I’ll go deeper to see what’s going on,” Zhao Tie said as he cautiously approached the Holy Sun Star.

The closer he got to the Holy Sun Star, the faster his holy body melted.

Gradually, the life force couldn’t keep up.

“Grape, increase the speed of the life force input,” Zhao Tie requested.

“The second-level channel is open; this is the free limit,” Grape’s voice responded.

Instantly, Zhao Tie’s holy body was restored to its original state, once again caught in the tug-of-war between life force and the power of the Holy Sun.

Within half a light armor distance from the Holy Sun Star, Zhao Tie felt like he was teetering between life and death.

“Brothers, I’m now half a light armor away from the Holy Sun Star. With the current life force, this is my limit.”

“Next, I’ll activate the highest level of life force input that Grape can support and see how long I can last on the surface of the Holy Sun Star.”

“Here, I sincerely ask my brothers to help me crowdsource a revival chance.”

“Those who gather firewood for others shouldn’t be left to freeze in the storm!” Zhao Tie made the crowdfunding request again.

Watching the live stream, Xiong Li couldn’t hold back and contributed a Primordial Purple Qi crystal the size of a yard.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Xiong Li, for the Primordial Purple Qi crystal!!”

Seizing the momentum, Zhao Tie moved a bit closer to the Holy Sun Star.

Then he noticed that the number of Primordial Purple Qi crystals needed for the revival chance was slowly changing.

He glanced at the distant Holy Sun Star and then at the fluctuating number of Primordial Purple Qi crystals.

In an instant, he figured out a trick on his own.

From then on, Zhao Tie kept teasing the position, keeping the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples watching the live stream hooked.

Every time Zhao Tie got a little closer to the Holy Sun Star, he collected a large amount of Primordial Purple Qi crystals from the crowdfunding.

Finally, within less than one-tenth of a light armor distance from the Holy Sun Star, the Primordial Purple Qi crystals were gathered, and Zhao Tie secured a free revival chance.

At that moment, a girl on the surface of the Holy Sun Star was watching Zhao Tie curiously.

With a puzzled look in her eyes, she couldn’t understand why this fragile life form had come here—was he just seeking death?

The Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples watching the live stream also noticed the girl.

“I’ve seen her profile on the sect’s forum; she’s a chaotic saint realm expert awakened by the Grand Elder, named Xiao Yang.”

“There’s also one named Xiao Guang, on the Holy Light Star,” commented one Hidden Spirit Sect Disciple.

“Don’t focus on that; I just want to know when this slowpoke Zhao Tie will land on the surface of the Holy Sun Star,” some disciples said impatiently.

“Brothers, now that I have the free revival chance, I’m fearless.”

“I’ve decided to fully refine my holy body to break through to the Great Saint level.”

“But right now, I’m only prepared in terms of will and holy body conditions; I’m not ready in other aspects.”

“I wonder if my brothers could help me crowdsource a Primordial Holy Body Pill; maybe I can advance to the Great Saint Realm in one go.”

“Brothers, please help me!”

Once again, all the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples watching the live stream received the crowdfunding request.

This time, however, the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect weren’t buying it.

Zhao Tie pleaded for a long time, but no one stepped forward to contribute.

“I’ll just keep watching; if you don’t land on the surface of the Holy Sun Star, this isn’t over between us.”

“We’re not crowdfunding this time. Let’s see what you can do; if you’re so bold, stop the live stream,” some commented in the barrage.

Seeing the comments, Zhao Tie knew he couldn’t fool them this time.
