Chapter 49: The Second Time Dream of the Ancient Times
At first, Lian Yun did not want Su Fang to participate. He was concerned that her dreams would bring her pain and worried that she might suddenly become violent.
However, considering that it was Su Fang's first time experiencing Dream of the Ancient Times, he believed she would gain a lot from it. Moreover, he and the Ghost Slaves had treated her well. Although she still radiated hatred and ferocity, Lian Yun could sense that some of the resentment in her heart had dissipated.
If Su Fang could spend a longer time within Dream of the Ancient Times, perhaps she could eliminate even more negative emotions.
Thus, Lian Yun ultimately decided to include Su Fang but specially crafted a Soul Gear rope to bind her, just in case she erupted unexpectedly.
Naturally, Su Fang was furious about this. In response, Lian Yun unkindly tied her to Big Head as well.
To be honest, seeing Su Fang and Big Head bound together even made Lan Ruoxuan take a second glance.
She knew that Lian Yun had subdued Qin Jiuwang's Nine Sons Ghost Mother, but she hadn't expected it to be so difficult to control. She also didn't anticipate that Lian Yun's Big Head could calm her down.
However, Lan Ruoxuan did not do much; she simply played a few soothing melodies, perhaps trying to ease Su Fang's troubled mind.
The second time listening to Dream of the Ancient Times felt just as real. As Lan Ruoxuan played a note, Lian Yun noticed that she stood up while holding her instrument.
Although the experience was almost identical to before, Lian Yun couldn't guarantee that he was truly within Dream of the Ancient Times this time, so he proceeded according to his plan.
Yan and Le went to the Xianjian Sect to comprehend the Sword Intent, while Lian Yun focused on his ninth attempt at Ultimate Ascension to Emperor. This time, he aimed for complete silence during his breakthrough and did not seek out any Imperial Coins.
Once he completed the ninth stage, it would essentially mark his ascension to emperor.
In less than three months, he completed the challenge but did not ascend. This confirmed for Lian Yun that he was indeed within Dream of the Ancient Times. Afterward, he also went to the Xianjian Sect to study the Sword Intent, dedicating himself fully to mastering forging techniques.
As for the Ghost Slaves, Lian Yun completely released them.
Due to previous instances where some Ghost Slaves had perished outside, Lian Yun felt a sense of concern; he believed they lacked sufficient self-preservation skills.
This was an understanding of the Ghost Slaves that Lian Yun himself had not fully realized.
By letting them go this time, he hoped to gain a deeper understanding of them upon their return. Perhaps then he could forge more advanced Soul Gear for them.
The time spent in the Dream of the Ancient Times was shorter than expected, lasting only three years. Lian Yun had only comprehended some powerful Sword Intent and had not created the second form of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique. However, after nearly three years of understanding, the power of the first form of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique had greatly increased.
Additionally, Lian Yun's understanding of Chiyou's totem had reached a certain level, but the deeper he delved, the more he felt at a loss as to how to proceed.
Upon waking after three years, Lian Yun and his Ghost Slaves absorbed a large amount of Mental Potion and began to adjust. Lian Yun did not immediately start his ninth challenge.
Instead, he focused on acquiring Imperial Coins for a while and then participated in the Mid-Emperor Beast Tide in July.
Without the threat of a Peerless Monarch, Lian Yun acted without restraint, occupying a section of the city wall by himself and engaging in frenzied slaughter for three nights. Almost all battles were centered around Sword Intent, consuming an immeasurable amount of Mental Potion.
However, the rewards were also substantial.
He then sent Chen Er Gou back to Yin City with a massive amount of White Spirit Coins and Diamond Spirit Coins.
After nearly half a year, the number of Supreme Soul Coins obtained from transactions with Ghost Daozi and Chiyou was not completely sufficient, but at least there would be no shortage in the short term.
Thus, Lian Yun now planned to make a significant trade with the two of them, primarily aiming to exchange a vast quantity of Mental Potion in Yin-Yang City. If successful, he might be able to trade with Peerless Monarchs for a large amount of Imperial Coins.
Although Ghost Daozi and Chiyou were part of Yin City's Nine Great Powers, they still needed to engage in Spirit Coin transactions with Lian Yun, which indicated that they lacked channels to trade Mental Potions with those in Yin-Yang City.
Nevertheless, Lian Yun wanted to give it a try; otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to acquire trillions of Imperial Coins within a year.
However, he did not plan to return to Yin City and seek out the two immediately. He needed an opportunity or a suitable reason or to find a possibility.
After July 15th, Lian Yun began challenging the ninth level of Ultimate Ascension to Emperor. Similar to when he broke through the Seventh Level, he went daily to Filth Bug's location to absorb Purple Qi and acquire large amounts of Imperial Coins.
In the Dream of the Ancient Times, Lian Yun took nearly a year to pass the ninth level. In reality, within one month, he had lowered his realm to Elementary King. After participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival Activities on August 15th, he reduced his realm to zero within ten days. Then he spent over half a month restoring his realm back to Peak of Kings.
After three days of quiet adjustment, he began his attempt to break into Emperor Realm.
There was no feeling of things falling into place; instead, he encountered a significant bottleneck.
This made Lian Yun feel that it might be due to his rapid progression through the last three levels in such a short time. It could also be that breaking through the Monarch's realm itself was exceedingly difficult.
However, regarding the breakthrough into Emperor Realm, Lian Yun dared not rush; instead, he calmed himself completely for the challenge. All thoughts about three years away, trillions of Imperial Coins, and his duel with Qin Kui were cast aside by Lian Yun.
Although these matters were important, they paled in comparison to the significance of personal ascension to the Emperor Realm. Thus, Lian Yun commanded Three Golden Hairs and Luan Yan City to cease all activities and focus entirely on comprehending and breaking through to the Emperor Realm.
As October drew to a close and November began, Lian Yun, in a state of complete dedication yet devoid of desire, managed to achieve a difficult yet tranquil breakthrough into the Emperor Realm.
Lian Yun's breakthrough was silent and unnoticed, yet for some unknown reason, at the moment of his ascension, nearly all Monarchs in Yin-Yang City felt a stirring within their hearts.
Their sensations were peculiar; it felt as though a great emperor had been born or a Supreme Beast had emerged. However, they could not pinpoint the exact location or time of this occurrence.
While some speculated that Lian Yun might have broken through to become a Monarch, they quickly dismissed this notion amidst the chaotic feelings. They believed that even if Lian Yun had indeed ascended, it would not evoke such a profound sensation.
This was largely due to Xiao Jun's own silent breakthrough.
Lian Yun remained unaware of this sentiment, and even if he did know, he would not dwell on it. The first thing he did after his breakthrough was to suppress his own realm with all his might.
He also realized that his difficulty in breaking through stemmed from having accumulated too much power, particularly Soul Power. Due to the extensive absorption of Supreme Soul Coins, his Soul Power had already surpassed the limits of a Monarch.
Under normal circumstances, this should have made it easier for Lian Yun to break through. However, due to the suppression of the Yin-Yang Stage, an unnecessary barrier had formed within his body. Therefore, this time, Lian Yun's breakthrough primarily focused on shattering that barrier rather than overcoming any obstacles.
