Lin Zhen's plan had been perfect. He would fly all the way there, cultivate steadily inside the Sword Palace, enter seclusion upon reaching Sky Wind Valley, gain enlightenment, then return.
At first, things indeed went as planned. Lin Zhen cultivated well within the palace, and exactly one year later, he cleared the twenty-seventh level of the Heaven Reaching Platform.
After clearing the twenty-seventh level, every attribute of Lin Zhen's Dark Matter increased by thirty!
"So the higher I go on the Heaven Reaching Platform, the greater the Dark Matter increase. By that calculation, the twenty-eighth level will increase it by forty, and the twenty-ninth by fifty!"
"At the twenty-ninth level, I'll be able to condense my Metal Element God avatar. If I reach the thirty-first level, I can condense another God avatar as well!"
Lin Zhen estimated that by the time he reached Sky Wind Valley, his Metal Element God avatar would almost be complete. On the journey back to Witch Star, his Wind Element God avatar should be nearly complete as well.
But after three years of flying, Chris informed him that the Energy Blocks in the Energy Storage were nearly depleted.
"The energy is running out? I added a hundred million points' worth of Energy Blocks before I left!"
"Master, a hundred million points' worth of Energy Blocks is indeed a considerable amount, but it is not enough to sustain the Sword Palace's flight for very long. Such a massive palace consumes several million every month. A hundred million points can only keep it running for three years."
"No way. Does a Superior-Grade Palace consume that much? The energy cost for several decades of travel would be enough to buy another Low-Grade Palace."
Lin Zhen felt that this was far too wasteful. Who could afford to travel like
