After the upgrade, the North Nether Divine Technique’s effectiveness soared from double to sixfold! The result was astonishing—a full threefold increase.

He immediately began absorbing with all his might. The small vortex that had formed around him swelled into a massive whirlpool, frantically funneling into his body!

’12,000 Experience, 13,000 Experience, 12,800 Experience...’

The throughput skyrocketed, reaching an unprecedented level. However, Yi Tianyun felt he hadn’t reached the limit yet. ’The North Nether Divine Technique can still absorb more!’

’The Star Absorption Technique can’t keep up anymore. The North Nether Divine Technique’s capacity is too great; my absorption rate is actually lagging behind its throughput.’

Yi Tianyun frowned, but his eyes immediately lit up. ’I almost forgot! Didn’t I get the Heaven-Devouring Divine Technique before? That can provide a boost!’

He immediately activated the Heaven-Devouring Divine Technique. As soon as he did, he felt the surrounding Spiritual Power being drawn violently into his body. A whirlwind seemed to stir in the air, sweeping up the nearby Spiritual Power and funneling it into him in an unending stream! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The Heaven-Devouring Divine Technique was originally meant for absorbing ambient power to enhance one’s strength, but now he was using it to extract Spiritual Power.

’23,000 Experience, 24,000 Experience, 22,000 Experience...’

His experience gain per tick instantly jumped by ten thousand. His absorption rate had finally caught up to that of the North Nether Divine Technique! He was gaining an astonishing amount of experience without even needing Madness Mode.

’Mad Experience Mode, activate!’

After activating the eightfold mode, his experience gain instantly exploded!

’180,000 Experience, 182,000 Experience, 183,000 Experience...’

This insane rate of experience gain left him dumbfounded. ’As expected, once the base value is higher, the amount of experience you get from multipliers is on another level.’

’What am I waiting for? I’m going to make a killing first!’

’Twentyfold Experience Card, use!’

’Tenfold Experience Card, use!’

He used his only two Experience Cards, instantly stacking the multiplier to thirty-eight times the normal experience gain!

’760,000 Experience, 770,000 Experience, 768,000 Experience...’

The numbers boomed in his mind like a sudden clap of thunder. As the values climbed frantically, he couldn’t help but exclaim how incredible it felt! At this speed, leveling up would be absurdly fast.

Of course, the experience required for each level was also substantial, but if he could keep this up, he wouldn’t have to worry about leveling at all.

While he was reveling in the feeling, the surrounding Spiritual Power began to deplete rapidly, consumed far faster than before. This was all the effect of the North Nether Divine Technique. Its enhanced absorption speed was far superior to that of any ordinary expert who might enter; his absorption rate was utterly insane.

Gradually, the liquid inside the Spiritual Vein began to thin, only to be replenished by denser fluid from deeper within. However, at this rate, he feared he was going to suck the Spiritual Vein more than halfway dry.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, a pleasant notification sound rang in his ears.

"Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Pill Stage!"

After a full day of absorption, he finally broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Pill Stage. In just four short days, he had advanced two entire layers, and it looked like he could keep pushing forward.

The only problem was that he had no more Experience Cards, and buying more would be too expensive.

’Finally, a level-up. This speed is decent enough.’ Yi Tianyun was quite satisfied. If anyone else found out, they would probably cough up blood in disbelief. Two layers in such a short time, and he only called it ’decent’?

For them, breaking through a single layer could take several years, let alone two.

Anyone who reached the seventh or eighth layer of the Spirit Pill Stage was typically over forty or fifty, and they were considered geniuses. Ordinary cultivators were usually over eighty or ninety years old before reaching such a level, while some never achieved it in their entire lives.

’Oh, right. I still have one lottery draw I haven’t used. If I get an Experience Card, I should just use it here!’

He had no Experience Cards left, so if he won one from the lottery, this would be the best place to use it.

He immediately activated his Luck Aura, followed by the Enhanced Lucky Wheel.

It looked no different from the previous wheel. At his command, it began to spin rapidly. The pointer blurred as it flew past the prizes, and he had already calmed his mind. He would accept whatever he got.

Soon, the pointer slowed to a stop, landing steadily on the "Special Items" slot!

CLUNK...

A box dropped into his inventory, leaving him stunned. ’Special Items? The category second only to Divine Skills?’ he thought in amazement.

He hadn’t expected to get another item from the Special Items category. The last one he’d received was the Hundred-Change Mask. He wondered what kind of Special Item the Enhanced Edition of the wheel would give him.

He opened the box, and an item appeared before his eyes—the Phoenix Wings!

Phoenix Wings: Cannot be upgraded. Accessory. Allows the user to fly when equipped. If the user can already fly, increases flight speed by three times!

"What a great item!"

Yi Tianyun was ecstatic. He never thought he would obtain the Phoenix Wings! This meant he could fly even without reaching the Core Transformation Stage. And even after he broke through to that realm and could fly naturally, these wings would still triple his flight speed. It was an absolutely fantastic item!

’This way, I can fly, which will be perfect for escaping. Combined with Instant Teleportation, who could possibly keep up with me?’ he thought.

Yi Tianyun chuckled foolishly and took a few steps to the side. Suddenly, his foot slipped. Before he could react, with a loud SPLASH, he sank into the water!

As he sank, he tried to swim back up, only to find he had fallen into some kind of tunnel. A powerful current immediately sucked him down. After being spun around in circles until he was dizzy, he suddenly felt himself being shot out of the water.

After being launched into the air, the water pressure vanished, and his body felt light. He tumbled a few times mid-air before landing swiftly on the ground. He raised his eyes and saw that he was in a secret chamber built from white jade. Directly ahead of him was a jade door that looked rather unique.

"What’s going on?"

Yi Tianyun turned his head and saw an opening with water still pouring out of it. He had clearly come from there.

’I should turn off the Luck Aura first...’ He thought, momentarily dazed. He quickly deactivated the Luck Aura, and as he did, his heart skipped a beat. ’Could it be that the Luck Aura caused my luck to explode, and that’s what brought me here?’

He had been walking all over the place absorbing Spiritual Power without any issue, yet the moment he activated the Luck Aura, he was sucked into this place!
