NOVPUBChapter 1161: 953 Chapter: Another 200 Years Chapter 1161: 953 Chapter: Another 200 Years The Thirty-Sixth Layer of Heaven, a rather central area.
Before Lin Yun broke through from the Thirty-Seventh Layer of Heaven to the Forty-First, this place was definitely one of the top cultivation sites in the entire Netherworld, but after Lin Yun broke through those layers, this training ground became less significant.
Lin Yun allowed some Ghost Practitioners who sold treasures that could help the Tri-Eyed Emperor exert the Divine Eye Ability to train from the Thirty-Seventh to the Thirty-Ninth Layer of Heaven, but there were some who couldn’t obtain these treasures or whose treasures were not of high enough level, so they could only cultivate in the Thirty-Sixth Layer of Heaven.
Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud were among them, not because they hadn’t sold any such treasures, but because the ones they sold were not of high enough level.
Just before Lin Yun broke through the Forty-First Layer of Heaven, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud paused their cultivation to receive two subordinates who had been collecting treasures, while simultaneously sighing deeply.
As they knew, the Ghost Practitioners left behind by the Blood Emperor had already entered the Fortieth Layer of Heaven to cultivate. Some time ago, when those Ghost Practitioners came down to collect treasures, they saw some of them.
Many Ghost Practitioners of the Saint Lord Realm, both in the middle and upper tiers, had generally reached the Peak Saint Lord Realm, and most of those at the Peak Saint Lord Realm had already broken through to the Saint King Realm.
As for the Ghost Practitioners in the Saint King Realm, they too had made significant progress.
What’s more, they felt that these Ghost Practitioners’ spirit, energy, and soul were different from those of ordinary peers, clearly surpassing the ordinary ones by far.
This reminded them of a saying that was rumored to be passed down by the Blood Emperor, “The three key points to breaking into a New Layered Heaven are young age, low realm, and strong power.”
Clearly, the essence of these formidable Ghost Practitioners had undergone an earth-shattering change; it was not blindly chasing after a higher realm, for a higher realm did not merely signify greater power.
According to some Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners they knew, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had also greatly enhanced his strength. During his leisure time, the Tri-Eyed Emperor had sparred with five Peak Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners, including even the Lily Emperor among the Nine Emperors, and without using the Divine Eye Ability, he was not at a disadvantage.
If we add in the fact that those five Peak Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners were also extraordinary, the current strength of the Tri-Eyed Emperor is simply unimaginable.
This made Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud extremely envious.
How much time had passed? Those Ghost Practitioners left by the Blood Emperor had already made such great progress? If they continued to cultivate with the Blood Emperor for a while longer, what then?
Originally, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud were confident that they were not far off from the Tri-Eyed Emperor’s strength without the use of the Divine Eye Ability. Now, they no longer felt confident that they could match the Tri-Eyed Emperor in equal combat without it.
If the Tri-Eyed Emperor used the Divine Eye Ability, they didn’t doubt that he could defeat them within a few moves.
Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud were filled with regret. Their talent for strength was not low, and had they known this would happen, why would they have been so set on targeting the Blood Emperor? Otherwise, with their talented strength, there was a high chance they would have caught the Blood Emperor’s eye!
In that case, they too could have seen a significant improvement in strength!
Alas, what’s done is done; no amount of regret could change it now!
During this time, some Ghost Practitioners were allowed to go to the Thirty-Seventh to Thirty-Ninth Layer of Heaven because they had sold some high-level treasures to those deployed by the Blood Emperor.
However, they were not given permission. If it weren’t for the declaration made in advance by those Ghost Practitioners about what treasures could grant access to the Thirty-Seventh to Thirty-Ninth Layer of Heaven, they would almost think that these actions were targeted at them!
The reason was not hard to explain; they were respectively the lords of the Thirty-Fourth and Thirty-Fifth Layer of Heaven. Before the Blood Emperor emerged, their status was almost second only to the Tri-Eyed Emperor, if not equal. Naturally, some Ghost Practitioners envied their original talents and strength.
However, with the declaration of those Ghost Practitioners being made in advance, they knew it was not the case, or rather, even if those Ghost Practitioners were indeed envious of their original talent and strength, if they could provide those treasures, they too could have been allowed to cultivate from the Thirty-Seventh to Thirty-Ninth Layer of Heaven!
Cultivating from the Thirty-Seventh to Thirty-Ninth Layer of Heaven, not to mention a much better environment than the Thirty-Sixth Layer of Heaven, came with the benefit of tenfold time acceleration. The significance of being there for their cultivation was immense!
Not to speak of more, they would not be left too far behind by those Ghost Practitioners retained by the Blood Emperor!
Therefore, during this period, they paid great attention to those subordinates who were collecting various treasures…
It would be best to gather those high-level treasures, and if they could gather them in large amounts, nothing would be better!
They might even be noticed again by the Blood Emperor. Then, the Blood Emperor might give them another chance—and it was not impossible!
“Hmm? Are these the only treasures you’ve collected?”
“None of the ones I specifically asked for have been collected?”
Soon, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud each met with their subordinates who had brought the treasures. Seeing the treasures they had brought, they couldn’t help but frown and speak in a somber voice.
The subordinates were extremely submissive, not daring to answer back. Recently, they had failed to acquire any of the important treasures pointed out by Emperor Wu (Emperor Proud). At first, Emperor Wu (Emperor Proud) could still speak to them kindly, but now, their temper was growing. They were afraid that any word they said might offend them and result in a severe punishment.
