Chapter 186: Ultimate Ascension to Emperor - First Stage
According to Iron Hammer, the Forging Technique is profound and extensive; it is merely that he himself lacks skill. Therefore, he recommended Lian Yun to go to the Blacksmith Shop in Chang'an City to seek out his master, Mo Blacksmith.
However, whether Lian Yun can earn Mo Blacksmith's favor depends on luck, so Iron Hammer advised Lian Yun to practice diligently in the meantime.
Although it was somewhat regrettable that he could not continue practicing, Lian Yun did not dwell on it too much, especially since he had received a letter of recommendation.
Lian Yun believed that this letter of recommendation was likely related to the forging of Soul Gear. Thus, he treasured it and placed it in his personal storage.
Afterward, he returned to the cave in the forest where the man-eating flowers resided. His purpose was threefold: to oversee the area, mine some Fine Iron Ore for future use, and replenish the spirit energy of the Ghost Slaves in the other two forests to improve their efficiency in obtaining Gray Spirit Coins.
Finally, he prepared for his first Ultimate Ascension to Emperor.
Over the past month or so, through insights gained and continuous battles fought, Lian Yun's realm had unknowingly reached the Peak of Kings. This was largely due to his current physical endowment.
Previously, when he had not used the Yin-Yang Stage to elevate his realm during battles, Lian Yun felt that his cultivation talent was far inferior to others. However, since achieving Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, he realized that this was not the case.
Before using the Yin-Yang Stage for the first time, it had a dramatic effect of boosting one level. But where did the spirit energy required for this boost come from?
To Lian Yun, it was clear that with every slight improvement he made, he needed ten times or even more spirit energy to fill the Yin-Yang Stage. This made his cultivation talent appear insufficient.
Now, however, things were different. After gaining control over the Yin-Yang Stage, Lian Yun's cultivation level surged dramatically. Perhaps this was partly related to Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, but primarily it was due to his own innate abilities.
Another point was that if he calculated based on the time taken for each stage during Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, Lian Yun felt that the final stages of Ultimate Ascension to Emperor might take several years each.
However, with changes in the Yin-Yang Stage, this calculation no longer applied.
First of all, Lian Yun no longer needed to worry about recovering spirit energy for maintaining his realm.
Previously, he had relied on Ghost Slaves to compress their realms and obtain spirit energy for elevation. Now he could store a large amount of Realm Power within the Yin-Yang Stage for recovery purposes—this was very similar to Supreme Power.
The only aspect that required a longer time commitment was dissipating his realm.
This could not be rushed or taken lightly; thus, Lian Yun chose not to dwell on it too much.
However, Lian Yun had certain plans in mind, which involved pushing through two levels in the novice village. This was the main reason he intended to stay in the novice village for three months.
It is important to note that while Honor Points were precious, there would undoubtedly be more opportunities to earn Honor Points in Famous City. Why struggle so hard to obtain just ten points of Honor?
Over the past twenty days, the strength of the Twelve Fierce Warriors had been continuously rising. Although they had only reached the peak of the Initial Ghost King realm, their individual power was still inferior to that of a peak Ghost King.
The Twelve Fierce Warriors might not possess the combat ability to surpass their ranks, but when united as twelve, they held the potential to challenge a Monarch.
With them guarding the cave entrance, Lian Yun naturally had no worries.
However, Lian Yun's process of dispersing his realm was not spent idly. During his Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, he had learned to act normally while lowering his realm, and now he could do so with ease.
Thus, within the cave, he was continuously practicing the Chaos Sword Technique while dispersing his realm.
Previously, although he had a good grasp of the Chaos Sword Technique, there were still some shortcomings. Now, with added rhythm, it began to embody a natural essence.
Yet Lian Yun did not rely on a single fixed rhythm; once a rhythm became established, it could easily be exploited by enemies. If his rhythm were disrupted, it could lead to self-destruction.
Therefore, Lian Yun incorporated various rhythms learned from Forging Technique into the Chaos Sword Technique.
As a result, not only did his swordplay become dazzling, but its rhythm also conveyed an overwhelming sense of chaos.
In this way, Lian Yun's Chaos Sword Technique reached a significant level and was not far from completion. By increasing the number of Sword Intents and enhancing their power, he could achieve mastery.
The process of descending from Peak of Kings to Initial Monarch was relatively quick; Lian Yun accomplished it in just two hours. However, upon reaching below Monarch level, without the support of his previous realm, he found himself more easily fatigued and weary while practicing swordsmanship. Thus, this stage took relatively longer.
Especially since he needed to return to the novice village to complete his Honor Points task, Lian Yun made sure to rest adequately before using Sword Control Technique to reach Zhang Caifu's location. After completing the task, he left using Sword Control Technique.
In total, it took him six hours to disperse his entire realm.
As for recovering his realm, the situation reversed; initially, Lian Yun focused on self-cultivation.
After three hours, he raised his realm close to Monarch level and then used spiritual power for enhancement. However, he only managed to reach Initial High-Level Monarch status.
Although his previous realm had naturally elevated him to Peak of Kings status, he had not fully experienced the changes associated with this stage of cultivation.
In order to avoid any shortcomings in the future, Lian Yun would not suddenly elevate himself to the Peak of Kings.
Next, Lian Yun needed to fully experience the changes in his realm while also striving to acquire more Gray Spirit Coins.
Lian Yun would do his utmost to assist Tailor Liu. Although he had devised a cunning plan, he would not let his guard down.
Even though he had given up Gray Bear Valley, no one was willing to venture into Giant Python Forest. Thus, Lian Yun arrived at Giant Python Forest, fighting while sensing the changes in his realm and collecting more Gray Spirit Coins.
It was worth noting that although the giant pythons in Giant Python Mountain were few in number, their size was enormous. Consequently, the Gray Spirit Coins they dropped upon death were not just one or two; it ranged from twenty to thirty coins. However, this meant a significant reduction in Black Spirit Coins.
Moreover, while there were plenty of Gray Spirit Coins, they were too widely scattered. Even if he could lure a group, it would be challenging to take down several with a single strike, making the efficiency much slower compared to other locations.
Now, Lian Yun was here to hone his skills and strive for more Gray Spirit Coins.
After about ten days, which marked two months since Lian Yun arrived at the novice village, his realm naturally broke through to the Peak of Kings.
In these two months, aside from leaving some Spirit Coins for Ma Wenlong for trading purposes, he had handed over almost all of them to Tailor Liu.
