The rumors about the forbidden zone helped Li Yun make sense of many things.
The only thing that still puzzled him was whether the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders was real or fake.
But it didn't matter.
All he needed to know was that the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders formed by the fusion of the three Wonder Books within him was genuine. As for everything else, once he grew strong enough to venture into the forbidden zone himself, he would find out sooner or later.
For now... he would continue refining Sage Anche.
That was right.
Li Yun had never intended to let Sage Anche go.
They had long since become enemies locked in a fight to the death. He might as well put Anche to rest.
The best enemy was a dead one.
With a thought, Li Yun intensified the refining once more.
Sage Anche had clearly never expected his stalling tactic to have no effect on Li Yun. Seeing the refining intensify, he immediately realized Li Yun still meant to kill him.
His expression changed drastically, and he burst into curses.
But none of it affected Li Yun in the slightest.
In just three months,
Sage Anche, a Mid Sage Constant born of Changqing, became the first sacrifice to Li Yun's self-created Immortal Gate Conversion Sage Art.
As Anche was completely refined,
Li Yun's cultivation finally underwent another qualitative leap, surging straight to the limit of Mid Sage Constant in one breath.
He was only a hair's breadth from Late Sage Constant.
"In the end... I'm still missing the tiniest bit of the essence. Looks like if I want to truly reach Late Sage Constant, I'll have to go after something that actually possesses that essence..."
"Either Eternal Divine Medicine or a Late Sage Constant expert!!"
