Chapter 483: Exiting the Retreat
The cultivation efficiency here is simply off the charts, and wasting such an opportunity is not an option!
“Speaking of which, I don’t even know what this Azure Dragon power is all about,” Yun Zhonghe thought, recalling the most important detail.
His gaze shifted to the black pearl emitting a faint blue glow. He could clearly sense the tremendous attributes contained within.
No wonder it aligns with extreme attributes—Yun Zhonghe is now officially one of those elite individuals boasting powers beyond the mundane!
Mu Jixue’s extreme cold had been tempting him for a while; the suppression it offered could bridge many gaps between cultivation levels.
“So, how do I actually use this power?”
Yun Zhonghe attempted to activate it but got nothing in return. No manual, no guidebook—just crickets.
He envisioned Mu Jixue effortlessly unleashing her extreme cold energy with a wave of her hand. Yet, what escaped him was still just his mundane spiritual energy, with no hint of the Azure Dragon power in sight.
Looks like he might be a little clueless.
Yun Zhonghe gathered his spiritual energy and formed a spiritual long blade, but it looked just like any other blade—nothing special about it.
“Hiss…”
Could it be he inherited Azure Dragon power for nothing? He had no clue how to utilize it.
While pondering this, he continued refining his spiritual energy, furrowing his brow as he stared at the glowing black orb.
“What if the Azure Dragon power captured by the Chaos Divine Stone works differently?”
A flash of insight struck him. He decided to wield this new power using the approach he’d learned from the Chaos Divine Stone.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly infused his spiritual energy into the black pearl radiating blue light.
Moments later, an unusual energy wave rippled through his Sea of Consciousness. To his surprise, he successfully refined a variant of spiritual energy infused with azure glow!
“Ah, now I get it!”
Excitement shone in Yun Zhonghe’s eyes as he finally found a way to harness the Azure Dragon power.
As he concentrated his spiritual energy into the long blade, it was instantly cloaked in azure light, exuding an intimidating aura—obviously now enhanced by Azure Dragon power.
At this moment, Yun Zhonghe realized his Azure Dragon power was indeed applicable to his spiritual energy!
He had heard stories that different people harness the powers of the Divine Beasts in various ways; this acquired strength had a complex randomness unlike innate extreme attributes that typically linked to one’s spiritual root or acupoints.
With the added Azure Dragon power, the spiritual long blade now sliced through the air with lightning speed—Yun Zhonghe gasped in shock!
Moreover, it seemed to have a locking feature too!
That’s right, Yun Zhonghe could feel that once he locked onto a target with the Azure Dragon power, the long blade would definitely hit its mark!
Now this could be fun; if paired with the corrosive effect of the Chaos Divine Stone, wouldn’t that make him invincible?
But…
“Something feels a bit off.” He frowned slightly.
True, compared to his initial excitement about the Divine Beast’s power, he expected an enormous boost, but it felt like he merely gained an additional layer of magical effect—not exactly a trump card.
Sure, it could lock onto targets, and the blade’s speed was astonishing, but fundamentally, the power still depended on Yun Zhonghe’s own spiritual strength, offering no enhancements for cross-level combat.
Nothing like Mu Jixue’s extreme cold!
Logically, the power of a Divine Beast shouldn’t be lacking.
“Alright, I’ll just have to take my time to research and develop it after getting out.”
He reined in his thoughts and pulled out a fresh set of spiritual energy insights to dive back into his training.
However, Yun Zhonghe discovered he had completely used up all his insights.
“Oops, miscalculated there. I wasn’t prepared enough and ran out!”
Yun Zhonghe sighed. Without those insightful texts, his cultivation speed would dip by 30 to 40 percent—talk about a disaster!
There was no help for it. Those insights didn’t come cheap; each one cost two to three thousand spirit stones. Plus, they were consumables. Yun Zhonghe didn’t have enough funds to indulge himself in a freebie insight binge.
Just as he was about to resign himself to grinding away his spiritual energy, a light bulb went off in his head.
“What if this all-purpose spiritual energy could replenish the insights?”
Since it’s called all-purpose, shouldn’t it be able to do anything?
Yun Zhonghe felt a jolt of inspiration. He gathered his spiritual energy—but instead of forming a long blade, he formed a spiritual brush, dipped it in thick all-purpose spiritual energy, and began to rewrite the words on his drained insights.
One by one, the characters seemed to be revived, springing back to life!
“Seriously?!”
Yun Zhonghe was elated.
The newly inscribed text sparkled with vitality, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of his training!
Previously, the spiritual energy in those insights had been rather sparse—the creator had cut corners, conserving their own energy.
Now, infused with full energy, Yun Zhonghe felt as if he had stumbled upon hidden treasures.
He quickly pulled out every used insight he had, even the old leftovers from ages ago.
Then, he focused intently, channeling 180 spiritual pearls—half transformed into a spiritual brush, while the other half formed a hand carefully controlling the brush to redraw and restore.
After half an hour, Yun Zhonghe had completely repaired all his insights.
He had been sparingly using them before, but now that he had discovered this restoration method, he began reviewing ten sets of insights simultaneously, cranking up the enhancement effects to maximum!
Reviewing ten insights at once boosted his cultivation effectiveness threefold!
What once took ages to produce a droplet of liquid spiritual energy now flowed like a stream, pouring into each spiritual pearl.
This was heavenly!
After experiencing this rapid progress and exhilarating flow, he realized his previous slow-paced cultivation felt unbearably sluggish.
Completely no comparison.
If only this opportunity lasted more than a single day!
It was like having your ultimate dream anime girl solely at your disposal for an entire day; no matter what happened, he’d never want to waste a second of that precious moment, wanting to savor that silky smooth experience every minute.
Ahem, got a bit sidetracked there.
Three hours later, Yun Zhonghe had used up fifty sets of insights, and all his spiritual pearls were now filled to an additional ten percent!
After six hours, he consumed seventy more sets of insights, boosting the fullness of his pearls by another ten percent.
At this moment, his spiritual realm had reached sixty percent fullness!
Just five more hours until the three days are over!
