Time Stop Space was dull, and Lu Yin couldn't stand the boredom, so he would rather spend star energy changing the environment inside it.
In the first month, he quietly felt out the operating route of the Universe Secret. He had followed that route once and would never forget it for the rest of his life, but he got nowhere and felt nothing at all.
In the second month, Lu Yin still felt nothing.
He was getting a little impatient.
Just then, Ghost Marquis woke up. "Seventh Brother, where are we?"
"Don't ask. Tell me, now that I've broken through to the Exploration Realm, how can I master the Universe Secret?" Lu Yin asked.
Ghost Marquis was speechless. "Seventh Brother, how would I know? I've never practiced a secret technique. This kind of thing depends on talent and opportunity; you need both. How long have you been practicing?"
"I just started. You really don't know?" Lu Yin asked.
"I really don't," Ghost Marquis said. "Strange, where exactly are we? I've been here before, but you never tell me anything."
Lu Yin promptly blocked Ghost Marquis. He didn't want that guy learning his secrets. But how could he master the Universe Secret?
To be safe, Lu Yin added another fifty days.
Every time he added ten days to Time Stop Space, the star energy it consumed doubled. Adding four months had cost him 730,000 cubic meters of Star Energy Crystals, or 7.3 cubic meters of Star Energy Marrow. Now, adding another fifty days brought the cost to 233 cubic meters of Star Energy Marrow—a geometric increase.
If he added any more, Lu Yin would have trouble keeping up. He had to understand the technique as soon as possible.
He had 110 days left, but still had no idea what to do.
