Star Condensation!
The three thousand Eastern Imperial Guards stared in awe at Jason Ji, who stood amidst the skeleton horde, his entire being glowing with starlight. They had never doubted his talent, but witnessing someone break through to the Star Condensation realm mid-battle was unprecedented. Jason Ji was the first to accomplish such a feat—and he was far from finished.
Despite advancing to the Star Condensation level, Jason continued wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword with ever-increasing speed and intensity. His presence filled the Nether Abyss with vibrant True Essence and resplendent starlight, dispelling the eerie gloom of the place. His guards watched in astonishment, their blood boiling as they witnessed his divine display of swordsmanship.
"This is the power of the Star Condensation realm?" Jason murmured to himself after casually wiping out three thousand skeletons with a single swing. The difference in strength between Star Condensation and the innate level was striking.
Jason glanced at his character panel, noting his progress in Sword Mastery proficiency:
[49998/100000]
"Only halfway to go before my Sword Mastery advances to the next level," Jason thought with a smirk. His attacks grew even more refined, each one more dazzling than the last.
"Look at that! My lord's swordplay is breathtaking!" The guards were mesmerized as Jason's starlit sword arced through the air, scattering sparkling fragments like a meteor shower. His blade shone brighter than the sun, illuminating the entire Nether Abyss and even revealing visions of divine beings chanting scriptures in the radiance.
With a final strike, Jason wiped out the last wave of skeleton soldiers, leaving nothing but dust in his wake. A notification echoed in his mind:
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Sword Mastery proficiency has reached the required threshold and has been upgraded to Sword Subtlety.

Seeing the updated panel, Jason's face lit up with satisfaction. His strength had taken a significant leap. Not only had he advanced to the Star Condensation realm, but his Sword Mastery had also ascended to Sword Subtlety. He felt stronger than ever.
"My lord, are you alright?" Quentin Wei, the commander of the guards, rushed to Jason's side, anxiously inspecting him for any injuries.
"Don't worry; I'm just a little tired," Jason replied, shaking his head. Sweat drenched his clothes, and even he was somewhat exhausted after such an intense battle.
"That's a relief," Quentin Wei sighed, visibly relaxing. "I wouldn't dare return to Chang'an if anything happened to you."
"My lord," Quentin Wei added with awe, "I must say, you're truly like a god descended to earth!"
At this, the guards behind him all nodded in agreement, unable to contain their admiration.
"Yes! You're a true prodigy in both battle and cultivation!"
"The way he fought—he's like a force of nature!"
"A hero as fierce as any deity from the heavens!"
Jason blushed slightly from the praise and waved a dismissive hand. "Alright, alright, let's get moving!"
"Right! We should head back to 【Rebellion in Chang'an】," Quentin Wei said. But Jason's smirk made him pause.
"Who said anything about going back to Chang'an?"
Quentin Wei's heart sank, and he smiled nervously. "You're not planning on running off, are you?"
Jason rolled his eyes. "Of course not. I agreed to be the Eastern Royal Family's son-in-law, so I'm not about to run away."
Quentin Wei sighed with relief. "That's good to hear. But then… what are you planning?"
Jason glanced into the depths of the Nether Abyss. "I still have to find something—the Netherworld Ghostfire, held by the Ghost King."
"What?!"
His words left everyone dumbfounded. To nonchalantly say he was going to retrieve something from the Ghost King was beyond bold.
"My lord, come on now, doesn't home sound nice?" Quentin Wei almost pleaded, on the verge of tears. Why did the prince always have to push things to the extreme?
"Just wait here. I won't take long." Jason gave them a casual wave, ignoring the stunned expressions on their faces as he headed deeper into the Nether Abyss.
He had planned this journey in three stages:
1.Advance his cultivation to Star Condensation.
2.Elevate his talent to Sword Subtlety.
3.Claim the Netherworld Ghostfire from the Ghost King.
With the first two steps successfully completed, there was no reason to stop now. After all, it was his destined opportunity—who else would seize it if not him?
