Chapter 482: About to Kick the Bucket
Even though he had recovered somewhat by absorbing omnipotent spiritual energy, and his injuries were healed, the extreme mental exhaustion still left Yun Zhonghe feeling quite fatigued.
After confirming that Xue Yunjian was just in a temporary hibernation state rather than suffering irreversible damage, Yun Zhonghe felt relieved. She’d wake up on her own after a few days.
But after confirming this, Yun Zhonghe didn’t even have the energy to check out the Azure Dragon’s power. He immediately went back to recovery mode again.
It’s not like he cared much about anything else.
Frankly, he was too exhausted; it felt as if half his life had been drained away.
This wasn’t a test, it was clearly out to get him.
“I wonder if Mu Jixue and the other two girls also encountered such predicaments with this much difficulty.”
Yun Zhonghe started worrying about the other three girls instead. He had no idea they were already safely escorted out.
If Yun Zhonghe knew the huge gap in difficulty between himself and them, he might’ve shown a complex mix of emotions. But hey, those were future worries. Right now, all he wanted was to catch up and make up for what he lost.
Hour after hour slipped by…
Until the sky darkened outside!
…
Outside the Secret Realm.
Qin Wushuang was getting jaded. If it weren’t for the Tian Yuan Mirror showing him the flow of spiritual energy inside, he’d have thought Yun Zhonghe died in there.
Another half day passed. Couldn’t Yun Zhonghe at least feel a little uncomfortable?
“The Myriad Path Divine Tower was like this before. This kid always finds ways to break everyone’s limits.”
He kept a wobbly smile, both expectant and frustrated about Yun Zhonghe.
Finally, he waved, then instructed his servant to bring some food.
So many Transformed Deities were getting hungry!
A group of top-tier cultivators began eating and chatting like in a tea party, discussing curiously.
“Yun Zhonghe could last so long for a reason! What special technique is he using?”
Everyone gave different theories, reflecting their deep understanding of cultivation.
Each analysis was sound and logical.
“How about we confirm with him once he comes out? Whoever explains correctly can have these purple-gold spirit stones!”
A dapper Transformed Deity proposed, holding a few purple-glowing spirit stones.
Purple-gold spirit stones were worth a hundred million low-grade spirit stones each!
Some found it unimpressive, while others were intrigued. Even big shots had petty desires.
…
The next day dawned!
The disciples drinking soup had retreated far back!
Even Li Yifeng, the invincible body cultivator, moved to over half a mile away.
What’s taking so long?!
Are they planning to stay forever?!
Let them never come out!
Only people who could make Transformed Deities impatient are legends.
Though everyone could wait, things were getting creepy.
Besides the First Generation Alliance Master, no one had lasted more than a day in the Four Beasts Secret Realm.
“That kid will definitely inherit the Azure Dragon’s power! If not, I’m a dog!”
A powerful figure confidently stated.
This Four Beasts Secret Realm event was too intense. Three had inherited divine powers, and one probably did so, too, lasting two whole days.
Insane!
People held back their shock, but it was visible. Even Master Youyue seemed dazzled.
After spending so long in there, would Yun Zhonghe come out with Cultivated God realm cultivation?
Everyone thought so, yet doubted it.
“Not every cultivation realm appears overnight.”
“Think this kid will survive until the third day ends?”
No idea who said this, earning many disapproving glances.
Shut up, seriously, you’re stirring up unrest!
All of them had once been prodigies; now they felt out-classed.
d*mn it, one more hour and I’m a dog, too!
I don’t believe he can last anymore.
You want to become a god, huh?!
…
Inside the Four Beasts Secret Realm—
Yun Zhonghe slowly regained consciousness.
After full recovery, he felt fully recharged, ready to take on the world. No more aches or headaches.
He exhaled deeply, then opened his eyes, revealing—
Xing Bu lying on her side, aimlessly picking her nose, post-pick reaching into her clothes, scratching below.
More bizarrely, after scratching, she sniffed her hand, looking incredibly pleased.
Yun Zhonghe: “…”
Xing Bu didn’t notice him waking up, still immersed in her weird world.
She spotted a hair in her fingers!
Xing Bu: “Oh ho! I’m getting hairy!”
Yun Zhonghe: “…”
She was as ecstatic as a fool.
During her time here, Xing Bu absorbed loads of omnipotent spiritual energy, fortifying her soul body. It was nearing rebirth.
Look, she even grew new blue hair!
Deep breaths, Yun Zhonghe stayed calm.
Ignore it, focus on cultivating.
In his mind, spiritual pearls now glowed brilliantly, rebuilt to support the Chaos Divine Stone web that nearly collapsed.
Now glowing vibrantly and filled with 40% liquid spiritual energy!
Almost at the nurturing phase peak.
Massive progress.
Don’t underestimate 40%. For a single spiritual pearl, that’s equivalent to someone filling them seventy-two times!
His time wasn’t wasted.
Cultivation reached the peak golden core, a stark improvement from when he entered.
Now, against Li Yifeng, Yun Zhonghe was confident he could crush him easily.
But this wasn’t his final score. Without pressure, he could stay until the secret realm closed.
