NOVPUBChapter 1163: Chapter 953: Another 200 Years_3 Chapter 1163: Chapter 953: Another 200 Years_3 “Yes, yes, we will definitely collect those heavenly and earthly treasures to our utmost ability…”
“Emperor Wu (Emperor Proud), please forgive us…”
The Ghost Practitioners, whose cultivation had been interrupted, didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction and hastily saluted Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud, continuously voicing their panic.
Afterward, they left one after another.
“A few days ago, I received a message from the Netherworld’s forty-first Layer, transmitted by a Ghost Practitioner. It was the Blood Emperor who broke through it…”
“Yes, I also sensed the presence of the Blood Emperor from that immense, purely negative energy…”
After their subordinates had left, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud exchanged glances and spoke.
During the conversation, they slightly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
As long as it wasn’t another Ghost Practitioner who had broken through, that was good news. One Blood Emperor was already enough for them to look up to. The progress in strength of the Tri-Eyed Emperor also weighed heavily on their minds.
If another immensely powerful Ghost Practitioner were to appear, they would truly feel distressed.
…
In the following years, Lin Yun didn’t rush to break through the forty-second Layer of Heaven.
Whether to break through the forty-second Layer by itself, or to break through up to the forty-fifth Layer together, Lin Yun had not yet decided.
Certainly, the difficulty of quickly breaking through four New Layered Heavens was greater than that of quickly breaking through three, but if he first broke through the forty-second Layer, and then, after assimilating the Origin Force of the two new worlds, the difficulty of breaking the next three Layers might not necessarily be less than the difficulty of quickly breaking through four Layers all at once.
This was a gap he needed to study carefully.
In the blink of an eye, another two hundred years passed.
Lin Yun’s realm still remained in the upper echelons of the Saint King Realm, but within the upper levels, he had made significant progress, and his strength was far greater than when he first entered this realm.
At this point, it must be said that the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult the further one advances.
Previously, it took Lin Yun less than fifty years to break through from a commoner to the lower Saint King Realm.
Latterly, it took Lin Yun over a hundred years to break through to the middle Saint King Realm, and although Lin Yun forcefully suppressed his progress, it’s certain that the middle realm was significantly harder to cultivate than all the previous realms combined. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Subsequently, after Lin Yun advanced to the upper Saint King Realm, two hundred years had passed, and he had not yet pushed this realm to its limits; he had only covered a considerable distance.
Keep in mind, this was the outcome after Lin Yun had consecutively broken through many Layers of the Netherworld and even shattered the last three Layers of a thirty-six layered Spirit Universe, with various Origin Forces blessing him.
Ordinarily, with the blessing of such powerful Origin Forces, his strength should have soared dramatically. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it soared to the sky.
Now, after two hundred years, he had only made this much progress.
It must be said, the difficulty Lin Yun faced in cultivating within the upper Saint King Realm far exceeded the cumulative difficulty of all the previous realms.
If he hadn’t shattered so many Layers of the Netherworld, if he hadn’t broken the final three Layers of that Spirit Universe, if he hadn’t acquired such immense multi-realm Origin Forces, he might not have made such progress in many billions of years. Such a statement is not exaggerated at all.
Many things, when combined, have effects far greater than the sum of their parts. And some geometric progressions of efficiency result in even more terrifyingly colossal outcomes. Lin Yun’s refinement of such powerful Origin Forces, when compared to an ordinary Cultivator, was immeasurably stronger—by thousands, millions, even billions of times!
Possibly even beyond the hundred-billion-fold!
Take Frubor, for instance, whom Lin Yun had met back when he was the Blood Emperor!
Later, Frubor became the master of the twenty-seventh Layer, with time in the nineteenth to the twenty-seventh Layers of Netherworld differing by a thousandfold compared to the Spirit World. As Lin Yun spent hundreds of millions of years in the cycle of reincarnation within the Spirit World, thousands of billions of years had passed in the Netherworld from the nineteenth to the twenty-seventh Layer!
Frubor, being able to become the master of the twenty-seventh Layer, must have had formidable talent, to begin with. It’s unlikely he was lacking. If he couldn’t practice in the very last few Layers, there should have been no problem practicing in the Layers above the nineteenth!
So, the time he experienced certainly must be counted in the hundreds of billions of years!
However, what realm has Frubor reached?
When he returned to the Netherworld hundreds of years ago, he was only in the middle Saint King Realm!
Was Frubor’s talent inferior? How could that be possible for someone who broke through the twenty-seventh Layer of the Netherworld?
From this, one can see how difficult these realms are to cultivate!
Of course, Frubor now is no longer in the middle Saint King Realm but has broken through to the upper Saint King Realm. With the additional status as the master of the twenty-seventh Layer, his strength ranks among the extremely top tier within the Netherworld!
Actually, cultivation, if said to be difficult, is challenging, if said to be easy, it’s not necessarily so. One step ahead, leads to being ahead at every step; one step behind, and you’ll lag at each step. Sometimes, what is missing is just that one opportunity!
When that opportunity comes, breakthroughs come swiftly!
Without the opportunity, one might be stuck for a lifetime, or even till death, which is quite normal!
