Overriding the Heaven

Rapidly increasing his strength required a huge amount of resources.    

With this thought, a hint of gloominess appeared in the eyes of everyone present.    

The atmosphere at the scene became gloomy in an instant.    

Based on their current realms, if they were to cultivate at a normal rate, if they were to level up to the Earth Origin Stage, for faster ones like Shen Qing and Jiang Panmeng, those with Innate Rankers would need four to five years. For slower ones like Su Jianyuan and Cao Feng, relying on their own hard work, it would take about ten years.    

As for Fu Rui's weaker foundation, another two times the amount of time she had might not be enough.    

Every step on the Immortal path was extremely difficult.    

Over eighty percent of the cultivators, and at their final realm, stopped at the Earth Origin Stage.    

Even when his blood energy had completely dried up and his life and death aura vanished, he still maintained his Pulse Condensation Stage.    

Being able to raise one's Earth Origin Stage was already an extremely small part of it.    

It was because of this difficulty that everyone understood how difficult it was to advance at a speed far surpassing any ordinary person's imagination in just a few short months.    

This was no longer something he could use just by gritting his teeth and putting in great effort.    

Moreover, every time he shortened it, the amount of energy and materials he spent would increase exponentially.    

To put it simply.    

If the time needed to advance was shortened from ten years to nine years, then he would have to spend a hundred sets of heavenly and earthly treasures.    

If it was shortened from ten years to eight years, then he would have to spend five hundred sets of heavenly materials!    

It would only take a tenth less time for it to increase by such a terrifying amount.    

Then, imagine the extent to which heavenly materials were needed to shorten the time from ten years to half a year, or even three months.    

Even if the Shattered Star Pavilion and the Profound Moon Sect were willing to accept this consumption, they would not dare to accept it.    

Just as everyone was at a loss and sighing silently, Chu Yan snapped his fingers, attracting everyone's attention.    

"If it's resources, you don't have to worry. I'll think of something." Chu Yan laughed.    

"You …"    

Everyone could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.    

They were certain that it was impossible for Chu Yan not to know of the enormous amount of resources that were required to promote them.    

However, Chu Yan's calm attitude gave everyone a sense of confidence.    

Chu Yan would never lie to them.    

But with so many treasures, where would he find them?    

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will slowly gather it up in the following days." Chu Yan's gaze turned to Zeng Bi, "With regards to refining pills, I'll need you to put in a lot of effort."    

Zeng Bi was startled when she heard it, as excitement rose up in her heart.    

The task of refining the pellets through the bronze coffin that he had entrusted to him before showed how much trust Chu Yan had in him.    

Chu Yan and the one in Chu Yan's body both showed incomparable trust in the current her!    

In fact, Zeng Bi had long since lost the initial hatred she had for being enslaved by Chu Yan.    

When she had first been enslaved by Chu Yan, it was partly because of her great transformation in status, and partly because Chu Yan was far inferior to her in terms of realm.    

But then, Zeng Bi realized that after she had been enslaved, the other party had not deliberately tortured or humiliated him.    

Under normal circumstances, Chu Yan would use an equal attitude to communicate with him.    

Furthermore, Chu Yan did not flatter his, nor did he act arrogantly towards his, which also obtained the acknowledgement from the depths of Zeng Bi's heart.    

As for the second realm, Chu Yan's speed of advancement left Zeng Bi speechless.    

It had only been eight months since Chu Yan entered the Heaven's Edge Sect, and his Earth Origin Stage had already risen to the perfection of the third level.    

One more step and it would be celestial mood stage.    

Even if he was only at the first level of celestial mood stage at that time, he would still be lower than Zeng Bi.    

Furthermore, Zeng Bi clearly knew in her heart that she, who was at the second level of the celestial mood stage, was not necessarily a match for Chu Yan, who was at the first level of the celestial mood stage.    

Furthermore, with Chu Yan's rate of advancement, Zeng Bi truly suspected that before she stepped into the third level of celestial mood stage, the other party would have caught up to him.    

In terms of cultivation, this fellow was truly a genius, a monster, and a freak.    

It was precisely because of this reversal of views and the correct change in attitude that Guru Bi Tong gave an extremely moved response to Chu Yan's entrustment, "I will definitely do my best."    

Seeing Chu Yan's confident look, although there was still a trace of doubt in their hearts, their question was not whether or not Chu Yan was able to do it, but how he was able to do it.    

There was a huge difference between being able to do it and how to do it.    

However, Chu Yan did not reveal anything, and he kept it a secret.    

With regards to the treasures of the Twelve Nations, Chu Yan had actually thought about it long ago.    

Everyone present had a share of the credit for being able to fight their way to Blacksoul City's palace.    

If one were to say who had contributed the most, the treasures of the twelve kingdoms would all go to the one behind the Gates of Hell.    

After all, which one was the one who killed the Old Emperor and obtained the treasures of the twelve nations.    

If it wasn't for the person behind the Gates of Hell, let alone obtaining the treasures of the twelve nations, even with everyone's knowledge, they probably wouldn't have expected that Old Emperor would actually fuse his eyeballs with the world.    

Therefore, in Chu Yan's heart, these twelve nations' treasures should not be owned by him alone.    

It was just that this secret was too big and involved too much. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, it was inconvenient to tell them.    

Now that everyone needed heaven and earth treasures to be promoted, the treasures of the twelve kingdoms could naturally be put to use.    

And it was of great use.    

Chu Yan could imagine how crazy Zeng Bi would be when he saw these resources.    

After experiencing this ordeal and meeting up with everyone once again, they naturally had a lot to say.    

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.    

Kong Xian seemed to have long prepared for this. As the sky darkened, he ordered people to prepare a banquet for them.    

Everyone ate and chatted until the middle of the night before they finally dispersed one by one.    

Actually, with everyone's current cultivation level, sleep wasn't something they had to do.    

However, in the past dozens of days, because Chu Yan did not return, everyone's hearts were filled with worry.    

Even though Chu Yan had sent a message through the Consonance Jade later on, because he did not come back yet, there were still a lot of things that had not been confirmed.    

Now that Chu Yan had returned, their plans for the following period of time were successfully finalized. The heartstrings that had tensed up for so long were finally relaxed.    

After this relaxation, fatigue that had accumulated over a long period of time kept gushing up his body.    

With the addition of a few cups of Spirit Wine, even Li Xiu, who was known for his steadfast determination, couldn't hold on much longer.    

As for Handsome, he had already finished eating all twelve roasted Barbarian Cows. He leaned against the rock garden and happily fell asleep.    

In the end, everyone said goodbye in a daze and went to bed separately.    

Seeing that most of the people had left the table, Lin Miaoran's face flushed red and secretly glanced at Chu Yan.
