"Twelve times?"
Lin Yue was startled, then a smile appeared on his face, "Even the flow of time is different? How is it possible to achieve such a thing?"
"Time? It’s not that mysterious."
Human Ancestor chuckled, shaking his head, "It’s just that the time you perceive is sped up. Now, with only a wisp of my spirit left, I can only manage this in the Illusion World; it’s quite difficult in reality."
Lin Yue nodded slightly, understanding this point.
The Illusion World was like being in a dream, where the experienced time depended solely on the speed of thought.
"How long can I cultivate here?" asked Lin Yue.
"As long as you wish," Human Ancestor casually replied, "as long as your body in reality hasn’t died, this black jade coffin can withstand until you reach the Three Talents Heaven Barrier."
Lin Yue’s joy grew.
There was still a full month until the Inner Hall examination at the Ancestor Hall on the ninth day of the next month.
If he spent most of his time cultivating in the Illusion World, that would equate to a year of cultivation!
Plus, under Human Ancestor’s guidance, along with the four Ultimate Killing Skills and Martial Arts Secret Skills in his mind...
A year’s time, he would definitely make much progress!
Now he had hope of entering the Inner Hall!
"Here’s a knife for you."
Human Ancestor casually summoned a cold, gleaming long knife and drove it into the ground in front of Lin Yue, saying, "Go, if you die in the Illusion, you will be resurrected here. Everyday I can give you guidance once, how much you learn is up to you."
Lin Yue nodded, filled with boundless anticipation. He immediately grabbed the knife and energetically walked towards a dark valley.
This was his first experience of Eternal Night.
Although all he could see in front of him was engulfing darkness, almost making it impossible to see anything, he knew he could not really die in this Illusion World; the unknown fear of darkness actually honed a person even more.
"I can also shine light."
Lin Yue thought to himself, activating the Fire Element, and instantly his whole body lit up with dazzling flames, engulfing him within.
The firelight drove away the darkness.
In the deep forest beyond the valley, bizarre and shaky shadows could be seen.
Come to think of it, Eternal Night was just Eternal Night, and compared to Great Yong, there was no difference, just even more eerily silent, and only a bit colder without frost or snow.
He couldn’t help but be more puzzled.

In the environment of Eternal Night without sunlight, how has it not entered an ice age?
Evidently, there were great secrets within Eternal Night.
...
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
After a month, the secret chamber door in Qinghu Inn finally opened again.
"Cough, cough..."
Lin Yue coughed lightly, walked out of the secret chamber with a tired expression, his long hair disheveled without any head ornament, and almost not groomed for nearly a month. His clothes also had dust-preventive properties, but his hair was somewhat messy.
"Your Highness."
Outside the secret chamber door, Baili Fengzhi suddenly stood up, looking at Lin Yue coming out of the chamber and couldn’t help but say, "I thought you would continue your closed-door cultivation and miss the Inner Hall examination tomorrow."
During their conversation, she carefully observed her Your Highness, then suddenly paused.
Had there really been such a big change in just a month?
The previous Your Highness looked like a young noble, just more mature and steady, but now, his temperament was completely different.
Although he appeared exhausted, his movements as he walked gave her the feeling of a lurking beast, and his slightly squinted eyes also subtly exuded a killing aura, as if a fierce beast returning from a long hunt, radiating danger all around!
This strong sensation was very much like what she had encountered from those pract_recentationers who explored Eternal Night and returned to the Dawn Platform at the Northwest Pass!
This made Baili Fengzhi even more puzzled.
How could such a change occur when Your Highness was merely in closed-door cultivation?
"It’s nothing."
Lin Yue smiled tiredly at her, "Help me rest a bit; I’m very tired."
Baili Fengzhi hesitated a moment, seeing that he indeed seemed worn out, then let him put his arm over her shoulder, supporting him as they walked to his room.
"Love."
Lin Yue leaned lazily against her, smiling intimately into her ear, "Haven’t seen you in a while; I’ve really missed you. Have you missed me?"
Baili Fengzhi coughed softly, her Highness was as direct as ever.
She didn’t dare turn her head, for fear her cheeks would touch his lips. All she could do was look straight ahead, forcibly maintaining her composure, and said, "Not that long, Your Highness, it’s only been a month."
"Didn’t miss me after a month?" Lin Yue laughed.
After killing for a year in the eternal night outside the Illusion Valley, with almost no rest, even though he had broken through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, he was barely hanging on.
Now that he finally saw Baili Fengzhi, he naturally wanted to tease her a bit, to relieve some of his mental pressure.
"How successful was your closed-door cultivation, Your Highness?"
Baili Fengzhi forcibly changed the topic, "It seems your cultivation has not improved?"
"Not really," Lin Yue said casually, "Go get a bottle of the First Grade Shaoyin Nourishing Yuan Pill for me later, there should be enough time tonight for me to advance a level."
Baili Fengzhi exclaimed, "Enough for just one night?"
"Of course."
"It seems Your Highness has made great progress."
After lying down on the bed, Lin Yue stretched comfortably, and after a while, Baili Fengzhi brought a bottle of Spirit Pills and fed him three.
These Shaoyin Nourishing Yuan Pills, most suitable for Four Symbols Practitioners who control the Taiyang to make the transition to Shaoyin.
Ordinary Shaoyin Nourishing Yuan Pills were at least Third Grade Spirit Pills, quite precious, and the highest quality ones were First Grade Spirit Pills, with even better effects.
Lin Yue’s cultivation realm, now, was much higher than a month ago.
