NOVPUBChapter 1153: Chapter 950 Success in Solidifying Chapter 1153: Chapter 950 Success in Solidifying Netherworld, the Fortieth Heaven.
“Hum!”
“Hum!”
“Hum!”
…
The Tri-Eyed Emperor time and again executed his Divine Eye Ability.
“In the Fortieth Heaven, the recovery time for the Tri-Eyed Emperor is seven years. The collection of spiritual materials we’ve gathered should allow the Tri-Eyed Emperor to use his Divine Eye Ability continuously for over one hundred and seventy times…” A month later, Lin Yun concluded this data, and murmured thoughtfully.
Refining the Power of Time was relatively difficult, and this was his first attempt at doing so in the Saint King Realm. In his previous life, when he was the Blood Emperor, he had not tried this even after reaching the Peak Saint King Realm.
During this month, he just barely began to grasp the concept.
However, all beginnings are hard, and once he refined a thread of the Power of Time, it should become much easier.
One month… Two months… Three months…
One year… Two years… Three years…
To condense the Power of Time sooner, Lin Yun initially had the Tri-Eyed Emperor exhaustively use spiritual materials to recover his essence. Meanwhile, Lin Yun had several Ghost Practitioner powerhouses help by collecting the necessary spiritual materials throughout the Netherworld.
Time slowly passed by.
In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed.
During this period, the spiritual materials that Lin Yun initially collected, along with those gathered with the help of the Ghost Practitioners, were over ninety percent consumed by the Tri-Eyed Emperor, who had used his Divine Eye Ability more than two hundred and thirty times in total.
Over a decade had passed in the Fortieth Heaven, while only a little over a year had elapsed from the Thirty-sixth to the Twenty-eighth Heaven, and even less time below the Twenty-eighth Heaven.
This amount of time, neither long nor short, was sufficient for Lin Yun’s dispatched Ghost Practitioners to traverse the Netherworld and meet with the upper echelons of Ghost Practitioners there.
The Tri-Eyed Emperor was right to say that the cost of using spiritual materials for recovery was high, as these materials were exceedingly rare and precious. Originally, the spiritual materials collected by Lin Yun were enough for the Tri-Eyed Emperor to use his Divine Eye Ability over one hundred and seventy times. Over such a long period, the additional materials gathered by the Ghost Practitioners only sufficed for another eighty or so uses of the Divine Eye Ability. This was at the start when many Ghost Practitioner powerhouses readily brought out their stored materials; lately, the collection rate of these materials had significantly decreased, and it was foreseeable that not long after, it might take a long while to collect even a single piece of the required materials.
At that point, maintaining this situation would become even more difficult.
“Almost there… just a bit more…” Lin Yun, with his eyes closed, focused on condensing that sliver of the Power of Time and silently urged on.
In the Saint King Realm, still only at the mid-level Saint King Realm, deciding to refine the Power of Time had been a spur-of-the-moment idea. He realized how challenging it truly was once he started to implement it.
Every month or so, he let the Tri-Eyed Emperor execute his Divine Eye Ability three times. Although not consecutively, it was nearly continuous. This was the most appropriate interval that Lin Yun had chosen; spacing it any longer would cause certain elements to falter.
Any shorter, and the various consumptions would intensify, becoming unsustainable.
Indeed, Lin Yun’s foresight was proven right. Over more than a decade, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had executed his Divine Eye Ability over two hundred and thirty times, yet Lin Yun had still not condensed a thread of the Power of Time.
At this point, Lin Yun also realized that in the process of refining the Power of Time, many things must not be interrupted, or else all his efforts could be wasted.
He must condense the Power of Time before the collected spiritual materials were fully used, or it might be a long time before he could attempt to do so again.
This mission could end in failure.
The two hundred and fortieth time… The two hundred and fiftieth time…
These past two months, all the Ghost Practitioner powerhouses Lin Yun had left behind were mobilized to accelerate the collection of spiritual materials. Promises were made to allow some of the Ghost Practitioners who offered these materials to cultivate in the Thirty-seventh to Thirty-ninth Heavens for varying lengths of time.
The news spread throughout the entire Netherworld, quickening the pace of collecting the spiritual materials once more.
But, it only allowed the Tri-Eyed Emperor to perform his Divine Eye Ability an additional twenty-odd times in the short term, and the rate at which the materials were being collected had once again dropped drastically.
“Just a little more… only a little bit left…” Lin Yun felt an increasing sense of urgency. It was always just a bit more, but that last bit was the most difficult.
In a flash, another two years went by.
In those two years, the Tri-Eyed Emperor executed his Divine Eye Ability another fifty-plus times, and all the spiritual materials had been depleted. However, when a little over a month had passed, the Tri-Eyed Emperor overexerted himself and forcefully executed his Divine Eye Ability three more times.
At this moment, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had a very pale face, and he was somewhat sweating all over.
Lord Blood Emperor had not ordered a halt, and he vaguely sensed that the Blood Emperor was at a crucial juncture and didn’t want him to miss this opportunity.
However, three regular executions followed by three overexertions had pushed him to his limit.
“Lately, as I keep executing the Divine Eye Ability, I feel that my Divine Eye Ability has become much more powerful, and my control over it has also greatly enhanced. Having rested for over a month, perhaps I can execute the Divine Eye Ability once more…” Noticing that Lin Yun was still practicing with closed eyes, the pale-faced Tri-Eyed Emperor mused quietly to himself.
It wasn’t whimsical but a fact. Nonetheless, he wasn’t entirely sure if he could overexert the Divine Eye Ability for the fourth time. But he figured that, given his current mastery over the Divine Eye Ability, even if he did overexert for the fourth time, he probably wouldn’t endanger his life.
