A Windfall and the Evolution of the Purple Mist Space
As Ellis finished announcing the pre-battle mobilization, the atmosphere in the entire Central Plaza was instantly ignited.
The deafening cheers and fighting spirit swept over every god like a tangible wave.
But this is, after all, a banquet to celebrate the birth of two potential lords. The tense atmosphere of preparation for battle needs to be temporarily set aside; celebration and exchange are the themes at this moment.
With Ellis and Lin Yi seated at the head of the table, the banquet officially began.
The Mechanical Servants, who had been preparing for some time, began to move between the long circular tables, serving up fine wines.
Although the desire for food and drink has long since diminished at the level of gods, these foods containing faint traces of the power of laws are themselves a kind of ritual and enjoyment, and can further enhance the festivities.
"Lord Lin Yi, on behalf of the Crystal Spirit Race, I raise a toast to you! Congratulations on entering the Hall of Origin Law."
A graceful female Origin Treasure Deities Crystal Spirit Race, clad in seven-colored crystal armor, raised her glass first, her voice clear and melodious.
Lin Yi smiled and raised his glass in response, "Thank you for the Crystal Spirit Race Crystal Spirit Race's kindness, and I wish you all greater success in the upcoming battles."
This drink seemed to be a signal, and the atmosphere in the entire square quickly shifted from solemn to enthusiastic.
The time that followed became a true social event.
One after another, figures exuding powerful auras began to converge in an orderly fashion towards the main position.
The second person to step forward was a representative of the Holy Radiance Race, a deity shrouded in a soft halo. After offering his sincere blessings, he naturally mentioned the Holy Radiance Race's commercial network in the Purple Gold Star Union and surrounding star regions, expressing his wish to "have more opportunities for cooperation on the battlefield in the future, and to establish closer ties in commerce and intelligence after returning."
This is both an acknowledgment of the potential of the esteemed leader and a subtle signal.
Lin Yi raised his glass, his smile gentle, "I've long heard of the Holy Radiance Race's intelligence network and business reputation. If there's any future cooperation, we'll certainly give them our top priority."
He neither made any grand promises nor offered any direct commitments, but the phrase "prioritize" was enough to satisfy the other party. For Lin Yi, who had just been promoted to the status of a quasi-Lord, this sense of propriety was crucial.
The powerful member of the Thunder Mist Race followed closely behind. This deity was burly, with tiny arcs of electricity crackling around him. He was forthright and had a booming voice. "Lord Lin Yi, in the future, just give the word on the battlefield, and the warriors of my Thunder Mist Race will certainly serve you. By the way, several merchant guilds within our clan are very interested in some special ores and medicinal herbs produced by the Silver Blue Civilization. I'll have them send someone to contact your civilization later!"
His congratulations were simple and direct, with both his fighting spirit and willingness to cooperate clearly stated.
"The bravery of the Thunder Mist Race warriors is admirable, and I look forward to fighting alongside them. As for trade cooperation, we are most welcome to do so. Specific details can be discussed in detail with my representative, Ms. Aurelia, at the Purple Gold Star Union." Lin Yi readily agreed with a smile to such a decision.
Throughout this round, Lin Yi's response was flawless.
He was humble and responded positively yet tactfully to the goodwill expressed by various ethnic groups.
As time went on, more and more deities came forward to offer their congratulations, and many of them began to discuss more practical topics in addition to their blessings.
A high- Star Spirit Race deity, after offering a toast, smiled and said, "Lord Lin Yi, I have long admired the Silver Blue Civilization. I've heard that although your civilization is new to the cosmos, it possesses astonishing potential, especially in talent cultivation and civilizational cohesion. My family has a few unworthy juniors who are currently choosing a place to study. I wonder if we could be fortunate enough to send them to Silver Blue Star for a period of time? The fees and regulations will all be in accordance with your standards."
Lin Yi understood; this was because they valued his status as a "quasi-Lord." He nodded slightly. "The Silver Blue Civilization welcomes all friendly exchanges. As long as they meet the entry requirements and pass the relevant assessments, we welcome students of all ethnicities to come and exchange ideas."
The deity's smile widened, and after repeatedly expressing his gratitude, he withdrew satisfied.
His actions seemed to open a door, and soon after, several deities from different races, but who were considered representatives of great families in their respective star systems, expressed similar wishes.
Some hoped to deepen trade, some hoped to exchange technology, and many more hoped to send their family members to the Silver Blue Civilization for "study" or "training."
The atmosphere at the banquet became somewhat delicate, with more and more practical discussions about cooperation interspersed among the congratulations.
Many deities gathered in twos and threes, exchanging hushed conversations.
Two high-ranking Spirit Race stood around a table laden with glowing fruit, conversing in hushed tones.
One of the deities, with pale gold markings on his forehead, spoke to his friend in the Spirit Race language, "Aiser, I think I overheard you saying that after you leave, you're also planning to send a few of your family's youngsters to Lord Lin Yi's Silver Blue Civilization?"
The Spirit Race known as Aiser possessed a more composed demeanor. He nodded slightly. "Yes, Leander. Do you find it strange?"
Leander shrugged. "A little. While the Silver Blue Civilization has produced a prodigy like Lin Yi, that's just an exception. What can one learn there? Any random mid-level academy of our Spirit Race has resources and cultural heritage a hundred times better than theirs, right?"
Aiser glanced at his friend and shook his head, saying, "Leander, you're still too arrogant at heart. For Lin Yi, with his background, to reach this point in such a short time and step into the threshold of the Time Origin Law is a miracle in itself. Miracles may not be replicable, but the environment and core of the civilization that nurtured them must have something extremely special and commendable."
"I sent people not hoping they would become the next Lin Yi, but hoping they could observe, experience, and even integrate into that environment up close. Even if they could only absorb a trace of that spirit of striving, cohesion, or 'becoming stronger when faced with adversity,' it would be an invaluable foundation for the younger generation of my family."
Upon hearing this, Leander seemed to understand, then smiled and said, "That makes sense. Now that you mention it, I also think it's necessary to send a few lads. Consider it... a special training exercise."
Similar conversations were quietly taking place throughout the square.
Many deities, especially those with families and who need to consider the long term, saw new opportunities and investment directions in Lin Yi's ascension.
The Silver Blue Civilization, once an obscure name, has now become a promising and noteworthy land in the eyes of many powerful deities.
The Human Race, on the other hand, were much more enthusiastic and direct in their attitude.
A powerful high-ranking deity from the Lanlong Star Union, which borders the Purple Gold Star Union, said half-jokingly and half-seriously after drinking with Lin Yi, "Lord Lin Yi, there's a young fellow in my family who's recently become a deity. He has some talent, and if he could serve by your side, even if it's just running errands, it would be a great opportunity for him!"
As soon as he said this, the other two or three high-ranking Human Race beside him laughed and echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, Lord Lin Yi, my family also has several promising talents who have only recently become gods and need further training."
"Lord Lin Yi, please consider hiring a few servants."
Lin Yi smiled and was about to respond when he heard Prison Suppressor's voice transmission in his ear.
"Junior brother, these people are very shrewd. They see that you've taken a half-step into the Venerable Lord Rank, and your future status within the Human Race will inevitably rise. They're planning to take advantage of your position and place promising juniors from their families under your wing. This way, they can receive your guidance and protection, and it also strengthens the connection between their families and you. This is a good thing; it shows that everyone has high hopes for you. However, you must be very careful when recruiting subordinates and people. It's better to have fewer but better people. You need to consider both their character and talent, as well as the potential connections behind them."
Lin Yi understood and nodded slightly to Prison Suppressor to indicate that he understood.
He looked at the enthusiastic Human Race and said loudly, "Thank you all for your kindness, but Lin Yi has only just entered the Origin Law and still needs to focus on his cultivation to make further progress. I appreciate your kindness, and if I ever need help in the future, I will certainly give priority to the talents of my Human Race."
He didn't make any definitive statements, leaving room for "priority consideration," which saved face for the other party without making any specific promises, making him appear composed and experienced.
Upon hearing this, the Human Race were slightly disappointed, but they could understand. They smiled and raised their glasses, saying things like, "It's enough that you said that," and "We look forward to the future." The atmosphere remained harmonious.
Ellis's side was just as lively, even more so, and perhaps even more direct.
Many deities, especially the powerful members of the Spirit Race, surrounded him, their words filled with reverence for this "quasi-Lord" and confidence in the future battle.
Although Ellis remained taciturn, his stern expression softened considerably in the face of his kin's enthusiasm, and he occasionally nodded or gave brief responses.
As representatives of the Human Race, Prison Suppressor and Sijia were also busy communicating with various forces, both to build relationships and to coordinate their positions for the upcoming great war.
When Lin Yi came to a temporary end, he picked up a glass of wine that exuded a refreshing aroma and walked towards Ellis, who was surrounded by many Spirit Race.
When the Spirit Race surrounding Ellis saw Lin Yi approaching, they all smiled and nodded in greeting, tacitly making way for him.
They knew very well that these two newly appointed quasi-Lords must have something to say to each other.
"Ellis." Lin Yi raised his glass.
Ellis turned his head, his eyes, which seemed to hold fragments of time, looking at Lin Yi. He lightly clinked his wine glass against Lin Yi's, producing a crisp sound. "Lin Yi."
His tone was less icy than usual in the meeting room, "How are you feeling today?"
"I am flattered and deeply aware of the great responsibility," Lin Yi said truthfully, glancing around the still bustling square.
Ellis's lips twitched very slightly, like a smile that failed to take shape.
"Honor and responsibility are inseparable. It's good that you adapted quickly." He paused, lowering his voice so only Lin Yi could hear him clearly, "Today isn't the time for detailed discussions. Just enjoy the honor you deserve. After the war... I hope we can meet alone; there are some things we need to discuss in detail."
Lin Yi's heart stirred. Ellis was a cultivator of both time and space, and also a descendant of a supreme being. His private invitation was of extraordinary significance.
This is not merely an exchange between powerful individuals; it may also involve deeper levels of inheritance or secrets.
Lin Yi nodded earnestly, "After the battle, I await your invitation."
Ellis nodded slightly, said no more, and turned his gaze back to his Spirit Race colleagues surrounding him.
Lin Yi, sensing the situation, raised his cup to the surrounding spirit Spirit Race before slowly walking away.
The banquet lasted for about a standard hour, with a warm yet orderly atmosphere.
When the fine wines and delicacies had been enjoyed to the fullest extent, and the necessary congratulations and initial connections had been established, Ellis rose again.
The noise in the square quickly subsided.
"The celebration is over." Ellis's gaze swept across the entire area, his voice clear and powerful. "Ten days from now, all the gods of the base will assemble according to the established plan. Objective—annihilate the invading enemy!"
"Yes!" Nearly three thousand gods responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
There were no lengthy pre-battle speeches, only concise orders and boiling fighting spirit.
The banquet thus came to an end, and the gods, their spirits high, gradually dispersed to return to their respective abodes for final preparations.
Lin Yi and Ellis exchanged a few words about the details of their departure in ten days, and then Lin Yi prepared to leave.
"Junior brother, please wait a moment."
Prison Suppressor called out to him, handing him a semi-transparent storage crystal sphere with a smile. "Here, these are the congratulatory gifts from various races today. I've kept them all for you, and now they're returning to their rightful owner."
Lin Yi took the crystal ball and scanned it with his divine sense.
Good heavens!
The interior space was crammed full, filled with various crystals, materials, and strange objects that emitted powerful energy fluctuations...
A dazzling array of colors and a feast for the eyes.
"So many?" Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.
Although he knew there would be a congratulatory gift, he did not expect the quantity and value to be so astonishing.
Prison Suppressor smiled and explained, "According to the unwritten rules outside, at banquets celebrating the advancement of a new Quasi-Lord, ordinary high-ranking gods would give gifts worth around 30 million Points; high-ranking peak gods would give around 50 million Points; and as for us, we usually start with 100 million Points."
He paused, then gave a figure. "I've roughly calculated that the total value of all your gifts is approximately 101.33 billion Points."
"101.33 billion?" Lin Yi gasped.
This number far exceeded his expectations. You have to understand, he had killed so many high-level gods before, but he only gained less than 200 billion. Now, he only held one banquet, and he got so much.
"That's right," Prison Suppressor nodded affirmatively. "While the amount given to each individual god isn't particularly extravagant, the sheer number of people makes up for it. Don't forget there are nearly three thousand gods within the base. Heh, that's only within the base. Outside, a typical quasi-Lord's advancement banquet wouldn't have this many high-ranking or even peak gods attending."
"Besides, these kinds of promotion banquets only happen once or twice in the endless years. Everyone is both congratulating you and also... well, investing in you. After all, you are the controller of the Time Origin Law, and your favors are worth much more than those of ordinary Venerable Lords."
Lin Yi understood; this was both an acknowledgment of strength and a bet on future potential.
He carefully put away the storage crystal ball, and sighed inwardly, saying, "To earn so much from just one banquet, wouldn't holding more banquets make us rich?"
Prison Suppressor chuckled upon hearing this, "Junior brother, you're dreaming. That would only be a reasonable celebration after a qualitative leap in strength. You and Ellis have both entered the Origin Law Hall, becoming recognized Quasi-Lords, which has a significant impact on the strategic landscape of the entire base. That's the fundamental reason why everyone is willing to offer such generous gifts. If it were just a regular breakthrough or victory celebration, we wouldn't receive this much, and even if we did, its value would be far less than this."
He paused, his tone slightly teasing, "Besides, if you do this kind of thing too often, people will inevitably have their opinions, even if they don't say anything. Who knows, one day you might end up with the Title of 'Banquet Master,' which... isn't a very nice thing to hear."
Lin Yi was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Senior brother is right, that makes sense. Strength is fundamental; one stroke of this kind of windfall is enough."
As he spoke, he put away the storage crystal ball and solemnly said, "Thank you for taking care of this, Senior Brother."
"We're all fellow disciples, no need for formalities." Prison Suppressor waved his hand, turned to leave, and said, "You should also go back and prepare; we're setting off in ten days."
"Senior brother, wait a moment." Lin Yi called out to him.
Prison Suppressor turned around. "Is there anything else?"
Lin Yi looked at Prison Suppressor and said seriously, "Senior brother, regarding that Origin Insight Method... don't rush to use it. After we return from this great battle, I have something I need to discuss with you, which might... be of some help."
Upon hearing this, Prison Suppressor's eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you. A few more days won't make a difference anyway."
He thought Lin Yi was worried about him taking risks and wanted to persuade him again, or share some insights about the Time Origin Law.
Watching Prison Suppressor's departing figure, Lin Yi's gaze narrowed slightly.
The "help" he mentioned was more than just advice.
After the banquet, Lin Yi immediately summoned the Flying Shuttle and headed back to the evacuation point in the Core Zone.
Within the pure white space, the Light Sphere floated silently.
"Exchange." Lin Yi took out all the congratulatory gifts from the storage crystal ball.
The Light Sphere shimmered, rapidly scanning for valuation.
[Redeem complete.]
[Gained 101.33 billion points Points the Origin Universe Tower.]
[Current Points balance: 112.33 billion points.]
Without hesitation, Lin Yi immediately pulled up the exchange list.
First, there is the follow-up technique of the Time Origin Law.
He had previously redeemed introductory guides; truly systematic cultivation techniques were expensive, and he didn't have enough Points at the time.
Now, the time has come.
[The True Explanation of Time Source Rhythm (Volume 1)]
Type: Cultivation Technique Description: This system explains the cultivation path of the Time Origin Law from 1% to 30%, including nine Origin Law application techniques and three Time Origin Law combat secret techniques.
Redemption requires 62 billion Points.
"Exchange it!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth.
Sixty-two billion Points were instantly deducted, Dao Resonance vast information entered his brow. This is the foundation for his future cultivation; it's worth every penny!
[Redeem successful. 62 billion points Points.]
[Current Points balance: 51.33 billion points.]
Next, it was time to agree to Xuanji's upgrade.
Lin Yi pulled up the list of top-tier Intelligent Life upgrade plans for the Machine Race that Bota had previously given him.
He spent 11 billion Points to exchange for three sets: Void Computation Crystal (High God Level), Immutable Information Source Pattern (High God Level), and Source-State Perception Unit (High God Level), as well as the matching energy core and carrier substrate.
Finally, and most importantly, the Source Essence Crystal!
"Exchange for low-grade Source Essence Crystal," Lin Yi said directly, "Exchange for 40 billion Points."
[Confirmed exchange of 80,000 low-tier Source Essence Crystal. Confirm?]
"Confirm!"
A flash of light appeared, and a mountain of gray crystals appeared in the pure white space.
Lin Yi packed up all his belongings, left the pure white space, and returned to his residence.
In the quiet room, he took out all the upgrade materials.
"Xuanji, are you ready?"
A phantom image of a palace dress appeared, Xuanji's voice carried a rare hint of excitement. "Master, everything is ready."
The upgrade process lasted for five days. Lin Yi did not cultivate; he stayed by the sidelines to prevent any accidents from happening.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
When the last bit of material energy was completely absorbed, Xuanji's phantom image solidified completely, and the golden data stream in her eyes became steady and profound.
"Master, upgrade complete. Current level: Upper God-level Intelligent Life." Xuanji bowed deeply.
"Very good." Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. The upgraded Xuanji would become an even more powerful ally for him. "Xuanji, go and familiarize yourself with it on your own. I need to meditate for a few days. Don't disturb me unless it's urgent."
"Yes, Master."
Xuanji's illusory figure bowed slightly, then transformed into a stream of data light and disappeared into Lin Yi's portable smart terminal.
Then, Lin Yi focused his mind on his Internal World, and the small mountain made of low-grade Source Essence Crystal came into view.
A chaotic halo flowed across the grayish-brown surface of the crystal.
Based on past experience, absorbing and transforming such a massive amount of Source Essence Crystal would be a very long process, and even with the efficient transformation within the Purple Mist Space, it would still take a considerable amount of time.
However, with a major war imminent, converting more fuel is crucial for coping with future uncertainties and for post-war development.
Lin Yi sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing to get into the best state, and then subconsciously scanned the Purple Mist Space.
This has been his habit for many years.
Before each large-scale conversion, the state of the Purple Mist Space is checked to confirm the fuel reserves and the stability of the space.
But this time, as his Soul Power swept across the Purple Mist Space, Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.
Wait a moment...
Total amount... it seems like...
... a little too much?
Lin Yi's brows furrowed suddenly.
Since being reborn on Blue Star, I have obtained the Purple Mist Space. I receive a wisp of it every day, and that has never changed. The only change is that I discovered in the Blood Sun Secret Realm that the "Blood Sun" can be produced twice as much. I also confirmed in the Myriad Secret Realm that the Source Essence Crystal can be purified and absorbed by the Purple Mist Space. Furthermore, I have accumulated a large amount of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi by hunting a large number of Mist Beast.
With his spiritual realm, every time he used burning, every time he absorbed and transformed, he could precisely control the total amount of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi within the Purple Mist Space, to the point that he could silently count the exact number of strands.
This is the source of all his miracles, his greatest reliance for transcending the ordinary, and there is no room for ambiguity.
And now, just before he was about to absorb a new batch of Source Essence Crystal, the total amount of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi in the Purple Mist Space was actually... a little more than he remembered!
Although it was only a little more, it was almost negligible given his current storage of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi within the Purple Mist Space.
Like a deep pool that has been calm for millions of years, the water level changed by a hair's breadth, yet he, Watcher Space Station the pool day and night, caught it in an instant.
The calm on Lin Yi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep-seated solemnity.
Any anomaly in the Purple Mist Space could be a tremendous opportunity or a fatal hidden danger. It concerns the very foundation of his cultivation path, and he must find out immediately!
Lin Yi suppressed the surprise and doubt welling up in his heart, his consciousness like the most precise probe, firmly fixed on the core operating area of that purple nebula.
He stopped caring about the exact increase in the total amount and instead focused all his perception on the fundamental mechanism by which the Purple Mist Space "produced" Spiritual Enlightenment Qi.
Time slipped away quietly in the profound silence and observation.
At first, everything was normal.
At the core of the Purple Mist Space, the rhythm that only fluctuates slightly once every standard day, giving birth to a Spiritual Enlightenment Qi, seems to still be dormant.
This observation lasted for about ten minutes.
Buzz...
Under Lin Yi's gaze, a brand new wisp of purple mist, like a small flower blooming out of thin air, quietly emerged and then slowly merged into the surrounding slowly rotating purple nebula.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
A new wisp!
It should be quite some time before the natural generation of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi occurs as usual.
"This...
A tremendous shock overwhelmed Lin Yi for a moment, but he forcefully suppressed it the next instant.
Lin Yi forced himself to remain absolutely calm, his consciousness acting like the most stable observation platform, continuously locking onto that Core Zone without blinking.
One day, two days, three days...
When three standard days had passed, Lin Yi slowly withdrew his mind from that state of extreme focus on observation. His face was filled with shock and an indescribable ecstasy.
After meticulous recording and repeated verification over seventy-two consecutive standard periods, he reached a definitive conclusion:
In the Purple Mist Space today, the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi that naturally generates each day is no longer just a wisp, but a full one hundred wisps!
A hundredfold increase!
This is undoubtedly fantastic news.
But after the initial elation, Lin Yi quickly calmed down, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Why?"
When did this change occur, and what caused it?
Several possibilities flashed through his mind:
Alternatively, time has passed to a certain threshold.
The Purple Mist Space may possess a certain "growth potential," evolving its functions after reaching a certain critical point as its existence accumulates.
Alternatively, the total amount of Source Essence absorbed may have reached a certain level.
He absorbed a massive amount of Source Essence Crystal in the Myriad Secret Realm, and exchanged them for a large number of low-grade Source Essence Crystal. Perhaps the total amount of Source Essence absorbed and transformed by the Purple Mist Space exceeded a limit, triggering a qualitative change.
The third possibility is the one that Lin Yi most prefers.
Because his cultivation level has improved!
"I've just officially entered the Time Origin Law, and my comprehension has reached 1%..." Lin Yi murmured to himself, "Although my energy accumulation is still at the Derivation Realm level, my understanding of the laws and the essence of my soul have already entered a completely new domain."
He recalled a description that was frequently mentioned in two of the Time Origin Law tomes he had exchanged for.
After mastering the Origin Law, one can advance from the Star Source Realm to the Cosmic Source Realm!
According to the vague descriptions in the ancient texts, when a cultivator's understanding of a certain Origin Law reaches a certain level (usually above the entry level), the soul will gradually be tainted by the original aura of that Origin Law and begin to evolve towards a higher life form, "Cosmic Source Realm life".
This way of expressing it is the same as that of the Origin Universe Tower.
Lin Yi discussed this with his fellow disciples, including Prison Suppressor, and concluded that the Cosmic Source Realm should represent the realm of Venerable Lord or higher.
"The Purple Mist Space is located in the deepest part of my soul, coexisting with the very Soul Origin." Lin Yi's eyes flashed with light. "My soul realm has leaped forward, undergoing a qualitative change, so the Purple Mist Space, as a part of my soul, has evolved accordingly... That explains it!"
This is a hundredfold increase, corresponding to his soul's leap from the Star Source Realm to the Cosmic Source Realm!
"The Cosmic Source Realm..."
Lin Yi repeated the word in a low voice. If this conjecture is correct, then in the future, as his soul realm continues to improve, will the Purple Mist Space continue to evolve?
Will the daily output increase from a hundred strands to a thousand or even ten thousand strands?
This prospect made Lin Yi's heart beat a little faster.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions.
"Whatever the reason, this is a great thing. A hundred strands of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi every day means my regular cultivation speed will be boosted a hundredfold! Even without using external Source Essence Crystal, relying solely on natural accumulation, I can gather the equivalent of a hundred years' worth of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi in a year!"
After all, the Origin Universe Tower Secret Realm can only last for one hundred Epoch, and it is obvious that the comprehension of the Origin Law becomes more and more difficult as you progress, and the more Spiritual Enlightenment Qi you need to consume.
After experiencing this meteoric rise in skill, Lin Yi was constantly worried that if he didn't have enough Source Essence Crystal in the future, his cultivation speed would plummet.
But now, an unprecedentedly intense light ignited in his eyes.
Lin Yi glanced at the mountain of Source Essence Crystal beside him, and then sensed the Purple Mist Space deep within his soul that steadily produced a hundred strands of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi every day.
Dual fuel supply.
"Continue absorbing, and convert all the Source Essence Crystal into Spiritual Enlightenment Qi reserves as soon as possible. Then, on the way to meet the enemy, carefully study the time-source treasure that Ellis gave me, and... <The True Explanation of Time Source Rhythm>!"
With the evolved Purple Mist Space as his foundation, Lin Yi was full of confidence for his future cultivation journey.
