The days guarding Defense Line No. 56 were actually quite monotonous.

Apart from cultivation, the main task was to prevent the Blood Bone Race's strong figures from invading.

However, fortunately, Lu Sheng practiced the Celestial Demon Technique, and the avatar of the Martial God Blood Stone entered different Life Realms, allowing him to pass a considerable amount of time.

Time continued to slip away during Lu Sheng's cultivation.

Quickly, another seventy years passed by.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged within a blazing star, yet a tremendously powerful energy fluctuated around him, causing ripples to emanate outward through the stellar energy around him.

Suddenly, a blood-colored light flickered within the void, then rapidly flooded into Lu Sheng's body.

Making Lu Sheng, whose aura was already incredibly powerful, surge with an even more intense aura at this moment.

When Lu Sheng opened his eyes, they contained an extremely terrifying pressure.

"Eighth Tier... late stage!"

Lu Sheng spoke softly.

Even his voice caused ripples in the surrounding void.

If anyone were there and heard Lu Sheng's words, they would probably be greatly shocked.

A hundred years!

From breaking through to the eighth tier to now guarding Defense Line No. 56, merely a hundred years had passed, and he went directly from an early eighth-tier level to the current late eighth-tier cultivation level.

This speed... could only be called terrifying!

Even young Galactic Life Forms might not have had such a terrifying cultivation rate!

Lu Sheng's thoughts moved slightly, and soon the system panel appeared in his view.

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Realm: Divine Power Realm (72/100)]

[Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority: (96/100) LV6]

[Dao Insights: (90/100) LV4]

"The progress of the cultivation improvement is still considered slow. After all, upon reaching the late eighth tier, even practicing the Celestial Demon Technique or relying on those cultivation bases doesn't enhance me much!"

Looking at the system panel before him, Lu Sheng couldn't help revealing a hint of helplessness.

Seventy years ago, Lu Sheng's Cultivation Progress had reached over fifty, just a few steps shy of the late eighth tier.

Now, seventy years later, Lu Sheng had only increased his Cultivation Progress by just over ten points. To Lu Sheng, this speed was somewhat slow.

"Luck hasn't been great; I haven't found any eighth-tier Life Realms, or else cultivating in an eighth-tier Life Realm wouldn't only improve my Cultivation Progress by this little!"

Lu Sheng shook his head helplessly.

Over these several decades, Lu Sheng relied on the super-distance random Teleportation Array of the Ascension Factions and found numerous Life Realms.

However, most of these Life Realms were sixth and seventh-tier.

Lu Sheng had found only one eighth-tier Life Realm in all these decades.

However, that eighth-tier Life Realm was rather special. As soon as Lu Sheng's Martial God Blood Stone entered it, he was directly targeted and obliterated by the world consciousness before spending much time there.

This also caused Lu Sheng to lose quite a bit of energy and time.

"However, although the Cultivation Progress increases slowly, the improvement in Dao Insights and Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority is quite notable!"

Looking at the system panel, Lu Sheng was somewhat helpless, but he was quite satisfied with his improvement in Dao Insights.

"With another round of the Celestial Demon Technique, Dao Insights should be able to reach level five, making my Dao Insights one of the better ones among the eighth-tier experts."

"Even without cultivation, simply relying on those cultivation bases I've marked with the Celestial Demon Mark could gradually improve my Dao Insights."

Lu Sheng said, with a smile on his lips.

Just as Lu Sheng was about to close his eyes again to continue cultivating the Celestial Demon Technique, a message popped up on his watch.

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Sheng looked at his watch, discovering it was a message from Gumo.

"Lu Sheng, are you available? I've discovered a new high-level Resource Planet here!"

Upon seeing this message, Lu Sheng squinted slightly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

High-level Resource Planet!

In all the defense lines, these are extremely important resource points.

The creation of a Resource Planet is either through hunting those top Cosmic Life Forms and refining them into planets to provide resources continuously.

Life Factions' Ancient Temple Star was once a seventh-tier Cosmic Life Form, slain and refined by a Life Factions mentor.

Until now, the Death Crystals within the Ancient Temple Star remain essential resource acquisition points for the Life Factions.

However, Ancient Temple Star is merely considered a Low-level Resource Planet, barely touching the class of a mid-level Resource Planet.

As for high-level Resource Planets, they're generally composed of slain ninth-tier Cosmic Life Forms.

Of course, they might also be naturally evolved within the cosmos.

If it's the former, there's no need to worry about ownership since it's intervened by major cosmic races, but since Gumo provided this information, asking if I'm available, it must be the latter.

If it's a naturally evolved high-level Resource Planet, it's something various cosmic races vie for!

"In the 56th defense line I guard, the highest I've seen is two mid-level Resource Planets."

"If I can help Star River University get hold of a high-level Resource Planet, I could even gain a share of resources from it."

"Even just a small part surpasses all of the 56 ordinary Resource Planets combined!"

"For my cultivation, this would be tremendously helpful!"

Thinking of this, a burning passion surfaced in Lu Sheng's eyes.

For eighth-tier, or even ninth-tier Transcendents, obtaining resources entails making contributions and exerting strength to earn them.

Such an opportunity, Lu Sheng would never miss it.

"Now that I'm at the late eighth tier, with the divine art from the Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority, even facing a peak eighth-tier Cosmic Life Form isn't something to be too wary of."

"Let's do it!"

Lu Sheng said, then sent a message to Gumo through his watch, left an avatar at Defense Line No. 56, and his figure disappeared from there.
