Chapter 2030: Chapter 2030 Genuine Energy Depletion
The Northsky Sect was led by a sophisticated middle-aged man named Yao Donglai.
Upon hearing Mao Hongyin’s report, he followed him to the front of the grand hall and inspected the stele.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun was already controlling his speed to slaughter the foreign race.
The rate at which he was slaughtering would prevent him from absorbing all the spiritual energy bestowed on him.
Ye Liuyun would therefore delay dispatching the last foreign race of each batch. Rather, he would immobilise it using the Elemental Spirit Secret Skill, giving himself enough time for absorption, conversion, and cultivation.
His clone absorbed spiritual stone in the Xuankong Stone at a speed ten times faster than usual. However, he still could not compare to Ye Liuyun’s usual absorption rate.
Ye Liuyun and his clone were committed to escalating their level at any cost. "Seize this chance, and strive to progress to the next level with full strength," He reminded.
His clone had even requested a single tear from the spiritual ginseng to aid him boosted his cultivation.
Before long, Yao Donglai and Mao Hongyin started to figure out his method. As the number on the stele increased, it increased rapidly as well.
Yao Donglai chuckled, “He must possess a skill that can kill the foreign races in batches. And he always leaves the last one standing until he has finished absorbing and cultivating, does he begin to slaughter the next batch."
"Could he be using some kind of forbidden items?" Mao Hongyin guessed.
"It could be a kind of technique that’s effective against the spiritual energy. Who cares! As long as the grand hall allows it, it’s not against the rules," Yao Donglai answered nonchalantly.
Mao Hongyin nodded as he started to tell Yao Donglai about Ye Liuyun.
"His name is Chen Feng. His physiological gravity test reached the eighth gear, and his bloodline test was tested to be at a white level."
"Really?" Yao Donglai was rather impressed.
"You don’t think so? If you’re not convinced, you can always request another test!" Mao Hongyin said earnestly.
Yao Donglai, having calmed down his excited emotions, said to Mao Hongyin, "No need for that! I’m not distrusting you! I’m just surprised as I haven’t come across such a promising talent for a long time."
He paced about excitedly, constantly speaking to Mao Hongyin, "Don’t simply expose his test results."
"We need to match this gifted student with a suitable mentor. Regarding the final two exams, I’ll assemble a few of the most esteemed elders to observe and choose who would be the best fit to be his mentor."
Mao Hongyin agreed but warned Yao Donglai, "He appeared rather thorough. As long as there’s a change in your expression, he will catch onto it. I think it’s better to just observe until the final stage!"
"That works. I will find some people right away, notify me when the time comes!"
Yao Donglai said and without waiting for the result, he left directly to find a master for Ye Liuyun, leaving only Mao Hongyin to wait there for Ye Liuyun’s emergence.
In the main hall, Ye Liuyun took a break from his cultivation and got up to move around. He even battled with the foreign races for fun and to wait for the progress of his clone.
He used the Qiankun Palm to fight the foreign races, totally engrossed in the fight and constantly consuming his genuine energy.
"What on earth is he doing in there? Why is he fast at times, and slow at other times?" Mao Hongyin stood outside, guessing as he stared at the number on the stele.
While fighting, Ye Liuyun was also observing the shapes and figures of these foreign races. However, he did not meet any three-eyed foreign race, nor did any foreign race launch an attack on his Divine Soul.
However, Ye Liuyun’s advanced energy was growing rapidly. He would choose to stay there forever if he could.
But by now he had already killed more than three thousand foreign races and was overloaded with energy. His clone, on the other hand, even if he used up all the top-grade Spirit Crystals for cultivation, failed to catch up with Ye Liuyun’s speed.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t access the Spatial World and the Xuankong Stone, so he couldn’t distribute his excess energy evenly between his clones. If he insisted further, Ye Liuyun’s level wouldn’t be able to contain the pressure.
If he escalated his level together with his clone, his clone’s level would likely become unstable.
Feeling helpless, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to take out his badges, open the great hall, and end the trial. He wasn’t worried about the result at all.
He won’t believe that anyone could do better than him.
"Oh, my heavens! You finally came out!" Mao Hongyin, who had been holding his breath, could not help but sigh with relief when he saw Ye Liuyun emerge.
"I think I might be on the verge of breaking through to another level. Do you think I can complete the breakthrough before proceeding with the test?" Ye Liuyun asked politely.
"Of course! Proceed with the level escalation right here!" Mao Hongyin immediately agreed.
Ye Liuyun had killed more than three thousand foreign races, which provided him with the energy of over three thousand advanced fifth-level individuals. Even if he failed to absorb a hundred per cent of it, it was more than enough for him to reach another level.
The fact that he had held out longer than necessary stumped Mao Hongyin.
"Just how much can this young man’s virtuoso store?"
Without wasting any more time, Ye Liuyun returned to the Xuankong stone. He let his clone absorb all the advanced energy he stored in the Storage Stone for him. Ye Liuyun then replenished the Storage Stone with his advanced energy.
With this method, Ye Liuyun could transfer the energy to his clone without too much work.
With so much energy supplementation from the Storage Stone, his clone could catch up to Ye Liuyun’s progress.
Both of them advanced to the primary sixth level together. When they reached the level, they could feel their genuine energy constantly boiling and compressing.
After they broke through to the early stage of the sixth level, they checked and found that the advanced energy in their virtuoso was less than a third. One of their advanced energy was only a little over half while the other one was completely depleted.
"This sixth level is way too different from the fifth level!" Ye Liuyun sighed.
After converting their late-stage fifth level’s advanced energy into the primary sixth-level advanced energy, they were left with only that amount, due to the improvement in the advanced energy’s quality.
"What...What am I to do? I must resume the test soon. Even if I continue to cultivate in the Xuankong Stone, filling up the virtuosity will take a few days!" Ye Liuyun started to be anxious.
"Why don’t you brave up and ask the elder to let you test again?" His clone suggested.
"Okay, I’ll try. For the sake of enhancing my abilities, I’m ready to risk it all!"
Ye Liuyun stepped out of the Xuankong Stone after he said it.
Mao Hongyin was still waiting for him and was overjoyed to see that his level had progressed.
"My level has gone up, but there isn’t enough genuine energy in my body. Could you let me test again? When I absorb enough genuine energy, I will stop the test. I won’t take as much energy as the last round."
Ye Liuyun pleaded with Mao Hongyin for another chance to test with a blushed face.
"Haha, I knew you would ask for it!" Mao Hongyin laughed.
Being in the intermediate of the seventh level, he knew that from the Sixth level onward, each time one breaks through to another level, a large number of genuine elements would be lost due to the compression.
"Alright, I’ll give you another go. Remember, the energy decreases as the usage increases. So, you should come out as soon as you have absorbed enough."
