Chapter 63: Teaching Qian Renxue the Cosmo Cultivation Method
After pointing out the direction, the Gemini Gold Cloth dissolved into a streak of golden light before Qian Renxue's eyes.
Realizing she had been teased, the little angel stomped her foot in frustration—but the smile hidden in her eyes was impossible to conceal.
For some reason, the emotions she had been suppressing for so long were soothed by this single playful gesture. Ever since she replaced Xue Qinghe, she had been cautious and restrained in every interaction with nobles, terrified that even the slightest flaw would expose her and ruin everything.
But the tense string inside her finally loosened the moment she knew Lin Beiya had arrived.
Returning to her bedroom, she changed back into female attire and dispelled the Soul Bone disguise. Then, without hesitation, she rushed toward the direction indicated by the Gold Cloth.
Thankfully, Porcupinefish Douluo had already dismissed all servants and guards. Otherwise, even if they didn't assume the woman leaving the residence was the First Prince Xue Qinghe, they would have definitely gossiped about which servant girl was sneaking out at night to meet a lover. Truly outrageous.
Several kilometers away, in a secluded grove, Lin Beiya smiled softly when he saw the graceful figure running straight toward him.
Before he could raise a hand to greet her, a fragrant breeze washed over him.
He quickly opened his arms to catch the little angel who had leapt directly into his embrace, preventing her from falling.
"A whole year apart… Xue'er, you've become even more beautiful."
"Hmph! You said you'd come see me soon, but you took an entire year. Men really are liars with sweet mouths!"
The little angel in his arms clearly wasn't letting him off. The moment she saw him, she began scolding the man she had missed day and night.
Lin Beiya let out a helpless smile. As Bibi Dong's disciple, he couldn't freely leave Spirit Hall whenever he pleased.
Even this time, he had only managed to slip out because of the soul-hunting mission.
"I came the moment I had a chance, didn't I? That Supreme Pontiff practically shoved me into the spotlight—countless eyes are watching my every move!"
At the mention of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue's expression visibly dimmed; she clearly didn't want to talk about that woman.
Lin Beiya tactfully changed the subject. Releasing the soft body in his arms, he took out the Aries Gold Card.
"Look, I obtained my third soul ring. After returning to me, the Gold Cloth's abilities strengthened again."
Seeing the golden card, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes brightened instantly.
"So now all attributes—including cultivation speed—are boosted by thirty percent?"
"That's right. With your identity, you rarely have time to train. This will help make up for it."
"You'd better work hard. Otherwise, I'll catch up and overtake you. After a bit more training, I'll break through to rank 33."
After absorbing the 7,000-year Twin-Headed Demon Soul Lizard soul ring, Lin Beiya's soul power was already approaching rank 33.
He didn't know Qian Renxue's current soul power, but he assumed she still had some distance to go before reaching the Soul Ancestor realm.
Sure enough, when Qian Renxue heard his current rank, her expression froze in shock.
"That fast? I'm only ranked 36…"
"No… wait. Just how old was that soul ring you absorbed this time?"
The little angel instantly sensed something was off. Lin Beiya had coincidentally come to see her while participating in a soul hunt. But for him to finish absorbing a soul ring and still reach nearly rank 33… There was only one explanation:
He had once again absorbed a soul ring at the very limit of his body.
This girl is way too sharp… he thought. But to avoid worrying her, he told a small lie.
"Almost 6,000 years. A Twin-Headed Demon Soul Lizard."
"Six thousand years?!"
Her eyes widened. Her own third soul ring had been nearly 3,000 years—already well past the ordinary limit. She never expected Beiya to absorb something over twice as old.
No one understood the danger of exceeding the limit more than she did.
Immediately, her eyes filled with reproach as she stared at him.
"You… are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Lin Beiya silently thanked the heavens that he hadn't told the truth. If Qian Renxue knew he had absorbed a 7,000-year soul ring—and nearly failed midway—who knew how long she would scold him?
Even so, she didn't spare him any eye-rolling. After nearly half an hour of relentless lecturing, Lin Beiya could only nod obediently.
Perhaps scolding was a natural talent all women possessed. After unleashing a storm of complaints, the little angel finally moistened her dry lips and spared him.
"Anyway, don't worry. Absorbing such a high-year soul ring was an accident. That Twin-Headed Demon Soul Lizard was way too rare. When I realized I could absorb it, I just wanted to try."
"Next time, I'll definitely select safer soul beasts."
"Hmph, you'd better. If something happens to you, I…"
Her voice trailed off as her eyes reddened at the thought of him dying from recklessness.
Seeing this, Lin Beiya quickly changed the subject—and this was also the main reason he had come.
"Xue'er, I'll show you something amazing."
"What kind of trick?"
Her attention was instantly captured. Under her curious gaze, Lin Beiya focused his mind and lifted her off the ground using telekinesis.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness startled the little angel, and she flailed her limbs in panic.
"Don't be scared. This is the new power I've mastered. I call it the Sixth Sense."
"Sixth Sense?"
Qian Renxue calmed down and stared at him intently. She could sense no soul power fluctuations at all, meaning this power did not originate from the soul master system.
"Did you forget how I've been continuously strengthening my five senses? That was to awaken the Sixth Sense."
"And those hidden ultimate techniques granted by the Gold Cloth also require the Sixth Sense as their foundation."
Hearing this, the little angel finally understood. No wonder the two of them had been completely unable to perform Stardust Revolution—even back in the Douluo Hall. The skill didn't rely on soul power at all!
"That's not all. I can now use this power to release combat techniques even without relying on the Gold Cloth. The Sixth Sense manifests differently in every person. I call this power the Cosmo."
"Really? So with the Cosmo, even without wearing that ugly Taurus Gold Cloth, I can still unleash the Great Horn, right?"
Lin Beiya's mouth twitched. He mourned for the Taurus Gold Cloth for three seconds. Even after all this time, it still couldn't escape being called ugly.
"…Yes, that's the idea."
"Then hurry and teach me! I want to learn how to control this amazing power!"
Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled with desire—she'd been longing to unleash ultimate techniques like Stardust Revolution. She waved her arms at him, urging him to put her down so she could start learning immediately.
Gently lowering her with telekinesis, Lin Beiya said solemnly:
"Xue'er, I know you don't have much free time. Training both soul power and your five senses will be difficult."
"But I still hope you can squeeze out time to train your body and senses. As it develops, the Cosmo will definitely surpass the entire cultivation system of the Douluo Continent."
"You heard about the ambush I encountered, right? That pressure was what awakened my Cosmo. The moment I awakened, I killed two Soul Kings."
Her red lips parted in shock.
"Really?"
"Of course. Once your five senses and physique reach a certain level, you merely need external pressure and the guidance of your Gold Cloth. Then you'll be able to sense the stars and awaken your Cosmo."
"…Alright. I'll make time to train."
