On the other side,
after Chu Ge returned to his room, the first thing he did was open the System to check the System prompt messages he hadn't carefully browsed before.
"Ding! Son of Destiny Luo Lingtian was forcefully defeated by the Host. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 10,000 Villain Points."
"Ding! Son of Destiny Luo Lingtian's state of mind is in disarray. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 5,000 Villain Points."
"Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Chen's state of mind is in disarray. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 3,000 Villain Points."
"Ding! Child of Destiny…..."
Several largely identical prompt messages appeared before Chu Ge's eyes.
Chu Ge examined them carefully.
From Luo Lingtian being defeated by him, his state of mind in disarray, his Dao Heart shaken, losing his Supreme Remnant Weapon, falling into a crazed obsession, and finally developing inner demons—a series of messages followed.
Coupled with the 3,000 points contributed by Ye Chen, Chu Ge gained a total of 58,000 Villain Points this time.
Adding that to his current 65,500 points, he now possessed a total of 123,500 Villain Points.
This was a sudden windfall, enough not only to upgrade the diary section to Level 4, but also to further upgrade either the punch-in or check-in section by 1 level, reaching Level 3.
Without hesitation, Chu Ge immediately communicated with the System.
"System, consume Villain Points to upgrade the diary section."
"Ding! Consuming 80,000 Villain Points for upgrade. Current remaining Villain Points: 43,500."
Chu Ge was not in a hurry to use up all his Villain Points.
He planned to save them until after the grand competition, to see if his Villain Points could once again reach one hundred thousand, and then try to unlock a random System section.
After all, upgrading the check-in or punch-in to Level 3 currently wouldn't unlock new functions for the section, nor would it lead to a qualitative change.
Glancing at the upgrade time, Chu Ge estimated that by the time this upgrade was complete, it would be evening.
"Let's first examine that Supreme Remnant Weapon. I hope my previous perception wasn't mistaken…..."
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then took out the remnant weapon he had obtained from Luo Lingtian.
The moment the dilapidated chessboard touched his hand, Chu Ge felt his Star Aperture within his body seemingly react.
'I sensed correctly. This chessboard really does have some connection to the power of stars…...'
He thought to himself, condensing a wisp of spiritual energy in his hand and attempting to inject it into the chessboard, but there was no reaction whatsoever.
'Ordinary spiritual energy doesn't work…...'
Chu Ge thought, then, after a brief moment of contemplation, he withdrew the spiritual energy.
Instead, he circulated the Star Aperture within his body, condensing a wisp of Star Power, which slowly merged into the dilapidated chessboard in his hand.
In an instant, the originally dilapidated chessboard emitted a brilliant radiance, and dense Star Power surged from within it, instantly filling the entire room.
On the chessboard, the crisscrossing points and lines were no longer as blurry as before; instead, they became clear, and the dense intersections on it emitted faint glows.
And Chu Ge, at this moment, had already closed his eyes, a wisp of his consciousness entering the interior of the chessboard along with the Star Power.
After a long while.
Chu Ge opened his eyes again, a glimmer of starlight flashing in them before disappearing, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
This Supreme Remnant Weapon, no, or rather, the "ten thousand star disk,"
was not only related to the power of stars, but also had a profound connection to the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Refining Aperture Diagram that Chu Ge cultivated!
After Chu Ge's consciousness entered it, he learned the name of this Supreme Remnant Weapon and also understood the function of this ten thousand star disk, as well as its current specific condition.
First, its effect.
The ten thousand star disk inherently contained a grand Formation that combined offensive, defensive, trapping, and gathering functions.
Rather than saying the ten thousand star disk contained a Formation, it was more accurate to say that the ten thousand star disk was the carrier of this grand Formation.
The chessboard was merely an accessory; the grand Formation was the main body.
However, this ten thousand star disk was extremely damaged, and its inner true spirit had already been annihilated. It was unknown how long it would take to reform it.
Not only that, the ten thousand star disk itself was also severely incomplete, missing one of its four corners, and along with that missing corner, nearly a quarter of its total 361 intersections were also gone.
This also rendered the ten thousand star disk almost completely useless now.
Due to the missing corner and the absence of its true spirit, the grand Formation could not operate, and the ten thousand star disk was almost completely ineffective.
The only thing that could make Chu Ge happy was its current usable star-gathering function.
By gathering the power of stars, Chu Ge could use this to gain another means of accelerating his own Star Aperture cultivation.
Star-attributed spiritual materials, combined with this ten thousand star disk, would undoubtedly allow Chu Ge's cultivation speed to reach a new level.
Not only that, during the process of gathering stars, the ten thousand star disk would also undergo slow self-repair, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, Chu Ge also learned that another supreme treasure, a Supreme Weapon called the Ten Thousand Star Chess, was a Packages item to this ten thousand star disk.
The two combined would form the complete body.
However, the matter of the Ten Thousand Star Chess was still too distant for now, and Chu Ge didn't dwell on it much.
Placing the ten thousand star disk in front of him, Chu Ge closed his eyes, feeling the Star Power that filled the entire room.
'I can't waste these; these are all good things.'
Thinking this, Chu Ge began to circulate the Aperture Refining Diagram, absorbing the power of stars and opening Star Apertures.
Time flowed silently, and in a blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Chu Ge also awoke from his cultivation.
The effects of the ten thousand star disk were immediate.
In just 5 hours, less than half a day, Chu Ge had opened 3 Star Apertures, and the progress of the 4th was already past halfway.
If he cultivated for a full 12 hours a day, he could open 7-8 Star Apertures a day, which was even faster than when he cultivated using northern dipper profound crystal!
If supplemented with northern dipper profound crystal, Chu Ge could barely imagine the speed!
Putting away the ten thousand star disk, Chu Ge glanced at the System; the upgrade of the diary section was also nearing completion.
Chu Ge simply decided to write his diary first.
Anyway, the diary settlement would be after midnight, by which time the System would have already finished upgrading, and he wouldn't miss the daily diary rewards after the upgrade.
[A lot happened today.]
[First, the Luo Family went to Taihuang Hall, naturally because of the huanglong seal again.]
[After I came out of seclusion, I saw the Son of Destiny Luo Lingtian. I have to say, his appearance was much better than Ye Chen's. Although he was still far from me, he could already be called exceptionally handsome.]
"Stinky Junior Brother, so conceited!"
Su Ling'er, who had been waiting early for Chu Ge to record his diary, muttered softly.
However, even though she said that, she inwardly agreed with Chu Ge's somewhat self-flattering words.
She was not someone who hadn't seen the world; she had seen many handsome and talented young prodigies, but without exception, none could compare to Chu Ge.
As she thought about it, Su Ling'er actually felt that after not seeing him for a few days, she genuinely missed her "stinky Junior Brother."
After Luo Huangjun's guidance that day, Su Ling'er had indeed gained many insights these past few days, and thus had been cultivating in the meditation room during this period.
She only learned about Chu Ge's battle with Luo Lingtian from others afterward.
This made her quite regretful that she couldn't witness it firsthand.
Especially the words Chu Ge spoke after defeating Luo Lingtian, which had now spread throughout Taihuang.
As soon as she thought of this, Su Ling'er wished she could have personally witnessed Chu Ge's heroic posture at that moment.
