Chapter 46: Preparing to Become Emperor
As the Filth Bug absorbed the Purple Qi, its entire body was almost exposed to the air, and during its splitting process, it remained relatively quiet. This moment presented an excellent opportunity for a hunt.
Lian Yun could have utilized the Silver Dragon Armor to run through the swarm of Filth Bugs, hunting down a massive number of them for great rewards. However, he chose not to do so. Instead, he activated the Yin-Yang Stage, maximizing his efforts to devour the surrounding Purple Qi.
As Lian Yun absorbed the Purple Qi from the surface of the sea, those nearby Filth Bugs that were in the process of splitting seemed as if their lifelines had been severed, dissolving into the seawater.
Like a chain reaction, this effect rapidly spread within a one-kilometer radius, expanding along with the devouring power of the Yin-Yang Stage.
Seeing this, Lian Yun wasted no time and hurriedly took flight.
He moved like a reaper; wherever he passed, all Filth Bugs melted away into seawater.
In less than a minute, either the Purple Qi was completely consumed or the Filth Bugs finished splitting. If Lian Yun continued forward, all remaining Filth Bugs would turn their attacks against him.
Thus, Lian Yun quickly retreated and opened his Filth Realm page to check on the name of the Filth Bug. Over one hundred million Imperial Coins.
This result left Lian Yun stunned and overjoyed.
Around one million was what he had earned from half a day's battle, while one hundred million was what he had gained in just this minute—an astonishing difference.
It was important to note that the Insect Emperor could only harvest up to ten billion each month. Now, Lian Yun's one minute of effort equated to more than one and a half times what the Insect Emperor earned in an entire month.
His efficiency was more than a hundred times greater.
If he could maintain this for three hours, he would have enough Imperial Coins to leave Yin Yang City. Of course, this was merely Lian Yun's daydreaming.
After all, he only had this one minute of harvest time. Perhaps increasing his mobility could enhance his gains, but time itself could not be extended.
He could also release Purple Qi to attract Filth Bugs and wait for them to split. However, this approach was utterly indifferent because his control over Purple Qi was limited to a radius of two hundred meters. He would first need to spread it out to attract the Filth Bugs, then wait for them to split before finally interrupting their division—this entire process would take nearly a minute.
In contrast, the number of Filth Bugs that the Insect Emperor could kill in one minute would cover an area far greater than just two hundred meters in radius.
Thus, while Lian Yun couldn't afford to waste even a single minute each day, he didn't need to continue fighting in this location; he still needed to find a more suitable battlefield for himself.
However, using Purple Qi to attract Filth Bugs proved faster than his previous method of ordinary killing. Over the next two days, both day and night, Lian Yun used Purple Qi to lure and hunt Filth Bugs. During dawn, he took advantage of that brief moment when Purple Qi descended to hunt effectively.
After the morning of the third day, I returned to the island through the portal, but after waiting for a day without seeing Zhang Yilian, I left a note in front of Zhang Yilian's door and then teleported to the location of the Filth Bug.
A week passed.
Upon returning to the island and still not seeing Zhang Yilian, I left another note and returned to the Twelve Cities. First, I went to Qian Duoduo's place to acquire a large amount of ore and Soul Material, then I visited the Cloud Emperor's Mansion to meet Clone Swallow.
Afterward, I arranged for Cheng and Yan to exchange identities, sending Cheng to Yin City.
This was partly because I was preparing to forge the Half-Emperor Set. Cheng was fully focused on studying the forging techniques of Fang Wu, Qian Youcai, and others, hoping to enhance his own forging abilities. As a result, Cheng sometimes crafted Soul Swords and at other times created various equipment.
It was simply a matter of honing his skills; there was no need for him to go out. Thus, being near Lian Yun or not made little difference. Yan, having established stable trade with Ghost Daozi and Chiyou, also had no need to venture outside, making his presence in Yin City inconsequential.
Thus, Lian Yun facilitated the exchange between Yan and Cheng.
I then notified Lan Ruoxuan, asking her to perform Dream of the Ancient Times for me again in three months.
Over the past few months, with the assistance of numerous Supreme Soul Coins, all of Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves, including Tian Xiang'er, successfully broke through to Emperor Level except for Chen Er Gou and the Twelve Fierce Warriors.
Chen Er Gou was still honing himself, while the Twelve Fierce Warriors had lost significant potential when they initially controlled the tyrant Xiang Yu. Although they later received feedback from Lian Yun, they did not regain all their potential; hence they did not break through due to insufficient capacity.
However, Chen Er Gou would complete his training in another month or two, and the Twelve Fierce Warriors were expected to break through within two months as well.
Thus, before the Ghost Festival in three months, all Ghost Slaves would be able to undergo another cleansing through Dream of the Ancient Times. Even if the effect were halved, it would still provide sufficient enhancement.
Afterward, Lian Yun took Yan to the Sword Tower of the Immortal Sword Sect and allowed Yan to comprehend Sword Intent in Cheng's identity. This time, quality was prioritized over quantity. The focus was on understanding some top-tier Sword Intents or several special Sword Intents.
For instance, one that had strong inclusivity and a fusion Sword Intent; another that was extremely resilient and represented an indomitable Sword Intent.
In the past week, Lian Yun had used Sword Intent to attack Filth Bug. Some existing Sword Intents could indeed resist part of Filth's decaying power.
Therefore, Lian Yun sought to comprehend some powerful Sword Intents that could effectively counteract decay.
After completing these tasks, Lian Yun returned to the Filth Realm Island. Although he did not see Zhang Yilian, he found two notes in front of his door.
One contained three coordinates centered around the island along with detailed descriptions about them. The other was an IOU without a specified repayment date; however, after signing my name on it, it indicated that I owed Zhang Yilian two hundred million Imperial Coins.
Although two hundred million was a substantial amount for Lian Yun, he signed his name first and then confirmed repayment before reading the contents of the first note.
After reading, Lian Yun sat cross-legged to absorb the Supreme Soul Coin.
To enhance personal mobility, the only way was to improve physical abilities. However, Lian Yun's current body was difficult to continue developing, so the only option left was to elevate his realm.
Then, by strengthening the source of his soul and boosting his Mental Power, it would help accelerate his progress in the Ultimate Ascension to Emperor. Thus, Lian Yun allowed Le Quan to absorb the Supreme Soul Coin.
Now, after reviewing Zhang Yilian's information, his main body also absorbed the Supreme Soul Coin, further increasing the source's enhancement.
Initially, Lian Yun planned to experience the final three challenges of the Ultimate Ascension to Emperor within a year for psychological reassurance. However, he now intended to break through to the Emperor Realm within six months.
The reason for this psychological reassurance was that his accumulation in the King's Realm had long been sufficient.
First, he became the King of Kings at ten years old, and nearly nine years had passed since then. For someone unable to break through, nine years might not seem long, but for him, it felt significant.
Secondly, during his practice of Dancing with Demons, that lifetime of memories added another nine years. Although Dream of the Ancient Times seemed to span only seven years, when combined with Three Golden Hairs, it amounted to twenty-eight years in total.
Just these three points combined equated to forty or fifty years of experience. How much time would be considered enough?
