Tian Hao temporarily renamed himself Tian the Great Hammer. By day, he cultivated in fusion with the Banyan Tree King, Lin Changjun, and the others; by night, he swung his hammer underground to forge, striving to complete a thousand refinements for every type of metal to remove impurities. This would allow him to better sense the properties of materials and choose more suitable forging techniques, while also using the process to train his force and body.
Besides that, he also found time to watch over and guide Yang Potian and the other eight as they transformed their skeletons into soul bones.
Their Soul Bone Transformation naturally did not require them to shape their bones into that kind of cell-wall structure. They only needed to directly transform their skeletons into soul bones, lowering the difficulty by several levels.
With such a packed schedule, he only slept for one hour each day.
Fortunately, he could enter a state of deep sleep through the Dream Devouring Soul Space. Combined with A Lan's Blue Silver Domain aiding his recovery, he remained full of energy every day.
After several months of hard work, the Banyan Tree King finally completed its transformation and evolved into the Golden Banyan Tree King.
But that was not the end. Using the strengthening brought by its bloodline transformation, the Golden Banyan Tree King unleashed all of its accumulated power and charged at the bottleneck of the hundred-thousand-year threshold, finally breaking through it in one go.
As its cultivation broke through, its bloodline also transformed, advancing into the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor.
This was one trait of soul beasts. Not every emperor was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was certainly an emperor, because when breaking through the hundred-thousand-year threshold, their bloodline rank would inevitably rise.
