In truth, Yang Wudao's promise is extremely important to Lu Sheng.

For a top-tier ninth-rank powerhouse to guard him and resolve the dangers of external tribulations, for an ordinary person who achieves the ninth rank, there is virtually no danger.

Even for a prodigy like Lu Sheng, Yang Wudao alone could attract more than half of the external tribulation risks.

The remaining small portion... Lu Sheng should be able to bear a bit himself.

As a result, before leaving, Lu Sheng repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Yang Wudao.

Only then did Lu Sheng leave Defense Line No. 1 and return to his own Defense Line No. 56.

Yang Wudao watched Lu Sheng's departing figure, his eyes filled with emotion.

"This is a true prodigy of my human race! Reaching the ninth rank in martial arts at such speed is truly no easy feat!"

Yang Wudao said softly.

Among the three major systems of the Human Federation, the Martial Artist System is the hardest to cultivate. Firstly, it requires a high level of talent.

Don't be fooled by the ease of entry; only a few can reach the subsequent levels.

The Martial Artist System, unlike the Mechanical Transformer System, only needs the enhancement of spiritual power and top-tier materials to modify the body and gradually become stronger.

To put it simply, with enough wealth, one can reach the first six stages of the Mechanical Modifier System.

But the Martial Artist is different. After the third stage, it requires a certain talent to progress step by step to the present level.

As for the Cultivator System... it was originally adapted from the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Sect's cultivation system, and even in its diminished form, although one can achieve the ninth rank, the ninth rank is merely the end.

Except for the Immortal, Yang Wudao is very clear that the Cultivator System cannot possibly produce another galactic life form.

Even the Immortal of the past required multiple schemes, even devouring the entire Primordial Demon Sect to support him in achieving the realm of a galactic life form.

Thus, the Martial Artist System can be said to be the most promising of the three Transcendent systems in the Human Federation.

But it is also the hardest to cultivate.

Lu Sheng reaching his current stage on his own is already incredibly defying destiny.

It's not an exaggeration to call him the first prodigy of the Human Federation.

While Yang Wudao sighed, an avatar of Emperor Bai appeared beside him, and Lu Sheng's circumstances could not escape Emperor Bai's eyes.

After Lu Sheng left, Emperor Bai gently said, "Senior, Lu Sheng's external tribulation... is not something that can be easily overcome!"

When Emperor Bai spoke these words, there was a sense of helplessness in his voice.

External tribulations are something almost no martial artist wants to face, each one being a struggle between life and death.

Many martial artists fall in external tribulations.

Of course, if one can overcome them, it is almost like stepping into another world.

However, the more terrifying the martial artist's talent, the stronger the cause and effect entangled with the external tribulation.

"Back when Lu Sheng merely achieved the seventh rank, he subtly began to draw toward the level of galactic life forms, although not clearly, I could still sense it!"

"Additionally, when Lu Sheng broke through to the eighth rank, it prompted the personal descent of the Immortal's avatar, intending to kill Lu Sheng."

"This time, Lu Sheng's breakthrough to the ninth rank... I fear it's going to be even more difficult!"

Emperor Bai said softly, and within Emperor Bai's eyes, a hint of solemnity emerged.

The eighth rank's breakthrough led to a galactic life form's avatar's intervention, if it's the ninth rank... wouldn't it really attract a galactic life form to take action personally?

Under such circumstances, I'm afraid that with Yang Wudao alone, it's truly uncertain whether Lu Sheng could be protected!

Thus, even Emperor Bai's expression appeared rather grave.

Yang Wudao spoke softly, "This, naturally, I know, but with Lu Sheng's talent, he truly has the potential to allow our Martial Artist System to produce another galactic life form!"

"At that time, we could pull the Lord of Ascension over, and under such circumstances, the Human Federation could turn its decline around."

"This would be a good thing for the entire Human Federation!"

Yang Wudao said slowly, his eyes filled with expectation.

"As for this old body of mine... after lingering for so many years, it is also time to contribute something to the Human Federation."

Yang Wudao spoke softly, his eyes downcast, the thoughts in his mind unclear.

Only Emperor Bai seemed to know something, his gaze at Yang Wudao containing a tinge of complexity: "But now, the Human Federation still needs you!"

Yang Wudao smiled and shook his head, but his smile contained a trace of bitterness.

"What is needed of me, the Human Federation doesn't need me at all now, what it needs... is top-tier prodigies like Lu Sheng!"

"The Star Sky Secret Realm is about to open, do you think... could Lu Sheng be the one chosen by the stars?"

Yang Wudao spoke softly.

Emperor Bai's pupils slightly contracted, compelled to look again toward the location of Lu Sheng.

"The one chosen by the stars, huh..."

Emperor Bai softly murmured, his eyes filled with myriad emotions.

After quite a while of silence, Emperor Bai slowly said, "Fine, this time I'll make a move too!"

"By the way, Senior, the Blood Bone Race is preparing to take action, perhaps also because of Lu Sheng's external tribulation!"

Emperor Bai suddenly said.

Yang Wudao's eyebrow slightly raised: "In the end, still a top-tier monster, he hasn't even begun to comprehend his own cosmic-grade secret technique, and the external tribulation has already started to affect an entire galaxy life form race!"

"But then again... are we at Star River University just a bunch of vegetarians!"

Yang Wudao said with a grin, exuding a domineering aura that suddenly surged forth from his body.

...

Defense Line No. 56.

After returning to his defense line, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged inside a star, leveraging the star's power to boost his final bit of cultivation progress.

Throughout the cultivation process, Lu Sheng was constantly pondering.

"What should my cosmic-grade secret technique be like?"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but recall his own cultivation journey throughout his life.

Beginning with the intent of longevity, then the subsequent true intent of life and death, even the true intent of the Five Elements, to the later creation of fixed star martial arts, the creation of divine abilities, and the cultivation of the Celestial Demon Technique.

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that his cultivation journey had been extremely scattered.
