A moment later, the relatively large rock, over a dozen meters in size, began slowly floating toward's Xu Yue, as it's size became smaller and smaller.
In only a few moments, the now tiny rock now landed in Xu Yue's hands, who then placed it into her spatial ring.
After that, Xu Yue turned her attention to Dai Jie, who was staring at her with his mouth wide open, clearly being extremely shocked.
Seeing this, a small smile appeared on Xu Yue's face, as she then began looking through her spatial rings, searching for something suitable.
A moment later, a spear suddenly appeared in Xu Yue's hands, causing her to walk over to Dai Jie.
The moment Xu Yue reached the little boy, she placed the hand on his forehead, causing the spear in her hands to suddenly disappear, as a relatively small dragon tattoo suddenly appeared on the latter's left arm.
As this happened, Dai Jie suddenly fainted, causing him to begin falling to the ground, thankfully for him though, Xu Yue was there with him, causing the speed of his fall to suddenly decrease, allowing him to gently fall to the ground.
A moment later, a small jade slip appeared in Xu Yue's hands before turning into a ray of light and flying into Dai Jie's forehead.
After that, Xu Yue once again began looking through her spatial ring, searching for a suitable third item.
Suddenly, as she something, Xu Yue's eyes slightly lit up.
"This should be suitable for you little guy, hopefully you are lucky," mumbled Xu Yue as she took out a small necklace out of her spatial ring.
A beautiful necklace with a large red gem sitting in the middle of it, somewhat suitable for Dai Jie.
After placing the necklace around Dai Jie's neck, Xu Yue then vanished, leaving only a little boy sleeping in the middle of a field.
...
As Xu Yue stared at the large tear-shaped crystal sitting in front of her, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"It looks as though the Heavenly Dao isn't confident in my strength, since it feels the need to help me grow stronger so badly," mumbled Xu Yue as she touched the crystal, feeling it's smooth texture, as well as the utterly insane amount of lifeforce present inside of it.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
After touching the crystal, which had more lifeforce inside of it than Xu Yue had in her entire body a few more times, Xu Yue finally realized what it was, gaining insight into it's past.
"This thing should be able to help me become a Nine Star Ancient God," mumbled Xu Yue as she stared at the huge solidified drop of blood.
Unlike before, after Xu Yue broke through in her cultivation, becoming a Dao Saint, she did not manage to reach the next level of her Ancient God cultivation, remaining an Eight Star Ancient God.
Thankfully though, the Heavenly Dao did not let Xu Yue down.
A moment later, Xu Yue's body suddenly returned to it's true size, becoming incomparably large.
As she once again felt her body touching the ends of this dimension, a rather thoughtful look appeared on Xu Yue's face.
"I should be careful, otherwise I might destroy this dimension," mumbled Xu Yue, feeling her feet and head touch the dimensional walls.
A moment later, a small cut appeared on Xu Yue's chest, allowing a tiny red dot to fly into her body.
For the next few moments, a silence ensued, as if nothing happened, then after that, the silence once again continued, as Xu Yue disappeared from the small dimension.
At that moment, Xu Yue appeared inside of the endless void, outside of the Three Thousand Regions.
The moment before Xu Yu appeared, the Heavenly Dao suddenly took action, taking away a few worlds which were about to be crushed into pieces by Xu Yue's body.
The very next moment, Xu Yue appeared, and then a moment after that, the Eight nearly fully golden Stars on Xu Yue's forehead suddenly shattered.
Without any warning, Xu Yue's body once again began growing at an extremely fast speed, growing to over twenty times it's previous size in only a few moments.
If Xu Yue was back in that small world at this very moment, even if she restrained her power, the sheer size of her physical body would have completely shattered that dimension.
Of course, Xu Yue would not have been harmed much by such a thing.
After a few moments, Xu Yue's spontaneous growth spurt began slowing down, not being nearly as exaggerated as it's earlier.
At the same time, Xu Yue then stretched out of hands, holding her knees as she slowly but surely closed her eyes.
...
At this moment, inside of a mysterious space, an enourmous figure stretched toward infinity.
The very existence of this being seemed to stretch reality itself, as its size interfered with every single law of existence even in its extremely weakened state.
Suddenly, the head of the figure, which had Ten Golden Stars on its side, moved, looking towards a certain point in this mysterious space.
Staring at the tiny female figure, which had appeared in front of him, a smile appeared on the face of the figure.
At this moment, the gaze of the female figure suddenly rose, staring straight into the eyes of the enourmous figure.
As soon as this happened, a slightly surprised expression appeared on the face of the figure.
What the figure, no, what Pangu felt from the tiny being in front of him was no fear or reverence.
Rather, Pangu felt a weird fighting spirit coming from it, one very much unlike his own, this fighting spirit did not stem from the enjoyment of battle, but rather from something else entirely.
"I see little girl, It looks like you don't need any help from someone that has already died," said Pangu as he let out a laugh and threw Xu Yue out from the dimension.
...
At this moment, in the real world, the size of Xu Yue's body once again began rapidly growing, as Nine Golden Stars began manifesting themselves on her forehead.
