Chapter 48: Seventh Level
Lian Yun used a Mental Potion to forcibly lower his realm to Elementary King. He then ceased fighting in Yin City and instead went to the Sword Tower of the Immortal Sword Sect, allowing Yan Quan to comprehend sword techniques while he quickly reset his own realm to zero.
It took him three hours to reach zero, followed by two hours to adjust his body, ensuring there were no hidden dangers before he began to elevate his realm again.
However, during this time, Lian Yun still made a trip to the Filth Bug, not wandering around but fully activating the Yin-Yang Stage, sweeping up the Purple Qi within several thousand meters.
As a result, he harvested nearly one hundred million Imperial Coins.
Once he recovered to the King's Realm, he visited the Imperial City Yun Imperial Residence and retrieved all Ghost Slaves except for Chen Er Gou, allowing them to enter the Yin-Yang Stage to absorb Purple Qi.
Previously, Lian Yun had sent them to Yin City because he wanted to rely on them to clear numerous Dungeons and gain more Soul Currency. However, that was no longer necessary. The atmosphere in Yin City was beneficial for their cultivation, so he did not rush their return.
Now that he had a large amount of Purple Qi and was not lacking Supreme Soul Coins or Diamond Spirit Coins, Lian Yun naturally wanted them back for cultivation.
Moreover, if they encountered trouble in the Filth Realm, they could assist him as well.
After five more hours, Lian Yun restored his realm to the Peak of Kings before engaging in full-scale combat. Initially, seeing that the Insect Emperor never released Ghost Slaves and that the four individuals from Yin City—namely 'Curse', 'Cat', and others—had not come to the Filth Realm, along with the fact that Filth could corrode Mental Power, Lian Yun felt that Filth might have a significant restraining effect on Spirit.
However, considering that his Ghost Slaves had been cultivating with Purple Qi, they might be able to resist the corrosive power of Filth. Thus, Lian Yun decided to let Yang Zai Xing come out for a test.
Instead of launching a direct attack, Yang Zai Xing first sensed the properties of the 'sea water' and confidently believed he could resist it before attempting an attack.
Afterward, he made slight contact with the bodily fluid produced from killing a Corrupted Scale Serpent. The result showed that while his Soul Body would be eroded, it was not severe; under normal circumstances, he could fight for about ten minutes before needing to expel the Filth from his body.
However, his Soul Gear could not withstand it; at most it could last three minutes before potentially breaking down completely.
According to Yang Zai Xing's expectations, if there were an upgradeable Soul Gear available, merging it with his Soul Body might allow him to use Purple Qi to enhance the Soul Gear, thereby granting it resistance against Filth's corrosive effects.
This idea was promising, but upgrading Soul Gear was no easy task. Lian Yun had forged so many Soul Artifacts that all Ghost Slaves only had one or two pieces of upgradeable equipment at most.
While this number sounded substantial, Lian Yun found it completely uncontrollable; if he focused solely on forging upgradeable Soul Gear, he might end up unable to produce any at all.
If he did not think about upgrades and instead aimed to create sets for each Ghost Slave individually in hopes of gathering some luck factors for assembling a complete set of upgradeable Soul Gear for them, this approach seemed feasible. However, the time required for this was difficult to measure.
After considering the situation, Lian Yun decided to first try to gather a complete set of advanced Soul Gear for Yang Zai Xing. As for the remaining Ghost Slave parts, he would let that slide this time and address it later.
Thus, while practicing Forging Technique, he focused on crafting a full set of equipment for Yang Zai Xing, creating one piece after another.
Yan continued to comprehend Sword Intent, while Leze devoted all efforts to absorbing Supreme Soul Coin, enhancing Lian Yun's main body and the Soul Power of his three major avatars.
As for Lian Yun himself—
Originally, breaking through to Ultimate Ascension to Emperor at the Seventh Level in just half a month was something he wouldn’t have dared to imagine in the past. But now he had achieved it. After familiarizing himself and stabilizing his understanding over the past half month, he chose to challenge the eighth level.
A month later, Zhang Yilian returned to the island once but did not encounter Lian Yun. Instead, he sent a note with two coordinates and requested three hundred million Imperial Coins.
It seemed as though he had given Lian Yun an unnecessary coordinate, almost like a forced transaction. However, Lian Yun didn’t mind this at all; instead, he felt grateful.
This was because after Lian Yun investigated the two coordinates provided by Zhang Yilian, he discovered that one of them contained Filth that resembled a massive Slime-like entity.
Its body was soft and flowing like sludge, almost akin to a rolling wave.
These giant Slimes would explode into a rain of droplets when attacked, transforming into countless avatars.
The rewards for defeating these avatars were not substantial individually, but their sheer numbers made up for it. With just two attacks, one could potentially earn tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Imperial Coins.
However, distinguishing between the Slime Filth and the ocean waves was quite challenging since they were nearly indistinguishable from each other.
One careless moment could place someone right beneath a Giant Mouth of a Filth or within its encirclement.
Moreover, the waves surged violently and could easily create a tsunami-like situation. This meant that the duration for sustained combat in this area was unpredictable; one might last two or three hours at best or be forced to leave in less than a minute.
Nevertheless, considering that Lian Yun was in urgent need of vast amounts of Imperial Coins, Zhang Yilian still decided to share this coordinate with him.
In comparison, this location was much more suitable for Lian Yun than the Corrupted Scale Serpent area. How could Lian Yun possibly feel dissatisfied?
There was also another coordinate that was more conventional—a faceless humanoid Filth towering two or three hundred meters high, covering an area of about three hundred miles.
Although they were densely distributed and numerous enough to yield high rewards upon defeat, their strength was nearly that of a Peerless Monarch.
With such formidable foes around, even a Half Emperor would likely refrain from reckless combat here!
However, this place met Lian Yun's requirements: calm and peaceful, densely populated, and the rewards for defeating enemies were quite high. Yet, Lian Yun still lacked the ability to sustain combat here, which was one of the reasons for his challenge to the eighth level of Ultimate Ascension to Emperor.
He established teleportation portals at both coordinates and then focused entirely on breaking through.
It took him a month to reduce his realm to zero. During this time, the loss of Imperial Coins was significant, but Lian Yun did not dwell on it. Instead, he spent half a month restoring his realm to the Peak of Kings.
At this point, there was only about a month left until the new year's Ghost Festival. He also had less than ten requirements left for Lan Ruoxuan.
During these ten, Lian Yun fought with all his might to familiarize himself with his abilities.
Perhaps it would be the last Dream of the Ancient Times, so Lian Yun brought City General Le and Chen Er Gou back with him.
However, the conditions for leaving Yin City this time were different. The condition that allowed an old friend to fulfill a promise made the guard ponder for a long time.
In the end, the guard confirmed that this strong individual named Yan would not provide any resources to others nor would he allow anyone to pass after taking items from them.
Thus, Lian Yun gathered with Three Golden Hairs and all the Ghost Slaves together.
