Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 680 - 537: Breakthrough, Third Layer of Tier 10 (Part 2)
Haimisa spoke of their common people’s idol.
An ordinary Tenth Layer, yet possessing the potential to rise up.
Once you demonstrate enough potential, you’re among the elite of foot soldiers. After achieving various merits, you can even earn a noble title.
At that point, even you, an ordinary Tenth Layer, have "human rights."
For example, Haimisa here is already a senior diver, after striving for so long, finally earning a low-ranking noble title.
In the eyes of those "ordinary rogue cultivators" in the city, he is of an upper echelon.
Otherwise, how could he have become the leader of a diving team?
He’s also able to take on missions and host these prodigies nurtured by various great civilizations’ forces, the noble illustrious Tenth Layer powerhouses?
As the two conversed, diving along, they reached the Central District at the 5000 meters level.
A vast and majestic city came into view.
A city at a 5000 meters underwater depth.
This city was more exquisite, more luxurious, with the walls almost entirely constructed of higher-level Divine Objects, exuding a denser aura.
Yet seemingly to withstand water pressure, the size of the city was much smaller.
After all, it’s completely understandable, those able to reach the Central District were already quite few.
Entering through the gate.
Haimisa saluted, "This concludes the introduction of our tour... after registration, we can part ways."
"If you need to explore, to hunt down Divine Objects, this is also a very good depth."
"I can introduce you to some seasoned, reliable warriors."
Liu Jun, this time, declined the other’s help, expressing the need to tour here for some time.
Haimisa didn’t mind.
Leading people in diving is just a matter of convenience on the way down.
Giving an introduction about the local customs can earn some money, why not?
After the two bid farewell, Liu Jun didn’t care, looking at the bustling and vibrant streets, filled with various bizarre creatures walking around,
"Time to make some money again."
Soon, after ten hours.
After robbing the rich to give to the poor, Liu Jun already had a sum of money in his pocket.
And those who lost their wealth didn’t even have the memory of having this money stolen, unable to detect any anomaly, hence wouldn’t report it.
This is why Liu Jun dared to act with impunity here.
He arrived at a palace and said to the receptionist, "Open a top-grade training room."
"Alright!"
The receptionist was a very beautiful female creature, peculiarly, any lifeform seeing her would find her beautiful, a kind of beauty that transcends races.
This made Liu Jun silently marvel, truly a bustling underwater world.
Entering the training room, Liu Jun sat calmly on the bed,
"The 5000 meters level chaos water pressure here is enough for me to complete early stage training of the Tenth Layer."
Early stage of the Tenth Layer, 1~3 layers, can train under the 5000 meters water pressure.
Mid-stage of the Tenth Layer, 4~6 layers, must be trained under the pressure at the innermost 50000 meters level city.
Late stage of the Tenth Layer, 7~9 layers, must be trained in the chaos depths over 500000 meters.
But the deepest frontline is a 50000 meters city, beyond that, there are no more cities.
One can only rely on personal adventures, bearing the water pressure forcefully, carrying full oxygen tanks, diving repeatedly to the 500000 meters depth for training.
There, it is incomparably dangerous.
But no matter what.
Liu Jun plans to train here first up to the Tenth Layer’s Third Layer.
"As for the bread..."
"Seems I’ve thought too much."
"Replenishing energy level is a training method at the Tenth Layer’s Tenth Layer, only then is one able to consume a Parallel Cosmos bread..."
Liu Jun had been researching how to eat the bread at the early stage of the Tenth Layer...
No wonder it couldn’t work, only at the Tenth Layer’s Tenth Layer can one swallow a Parallel Cosmos.
He had skipped ten small realms, trying to prematurely do what is meant for the Great Perfection of the Tenth Layer, how could it possibly work?
"Forget it, it’s also early research now."
No longer pondering, Liu Jun lamented the lack of guidance, walking a crooked path by groping alone.
He began to meditate in training.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The deeper chaos water pressure here, with a tremendously heavy pressure continuously refined the Divine Objects.
With the augmentation of Time Divine Power, plus the strong Wisdom of his God self, coupled with the training environment here in the room...
His training speed was rapid.
Under the pressure of this level, it only took a short two years to breakthrough to the Tenth Layer’s Second Layer.
BOOM!
Another burst of aura unfolded.
By the fifth year, he stepped into the Tenth Layer’s Third Layer.
If this breakthrough speed were spoken of, it would terrify the entire nation of Tempest, surely rending him apart for examination alive!
Exhale.
Liu Jun opened his eyes, the golden glow that passed through his eyes gradually subsiding.
He felt the increasingly focused Divine Objects within, showing a satisfied expression. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"It’s expected, further advancing toward the Tenth Layer’s mid-stage, my Divine Objects can completely coalesce, capable of resisting chaos corrosion, allowing my Divine Objects to eternally exist amidst chaos."
Divine Objects of the Tenth Layer’s mid-stage can ignore chaos.
Previously, Haimisa was a mid-stage Tenth Layer powerhouse, as a diving team leader, it would be unreasonable not to have that realm.
However.
The series of Divine Objects forming the city walls were Divine Objects of the Tenth Layer’s early stage.
As to why early-stage Divine Objects could block chaos?
No other reason.
Simply specialized city wall series.
These Divine Objects aside from blocking chaos, served no other purpose.
Destiny brick, fire element brick, water element brick... combined, forming a perfect Law-shaped barrier, this is, in itself, an extraordinarily exquisite art.
"Tenth Layer’s Third Layer."
Liu Jun exhaled a long breath of impure air,
"Next should be hiring a bunch of divers, protect me into the 50000 meters inner city... then train for the mid-stage."
"After all, the 50000 meters depth is too far... without professional knowledge, for someone like me with only solo diving experience up to 1000 meters, it’s completely undoable."
"And, according to existing information."
"Even professional teams taking someone to that depth... have a risk of mishaps, encountering unexpected changes, unknown Ocean Currents."
"For some reasons, deviating from course, resulting in insufficient oxygen carried for proceeding to the 50000 meters depth..."
"If truly intending to go, more money must be spent on hiring ace divers, otherwise, cheaper leaders have too high a mortality rate."
However, Liu Jun pondered for a while, suppressing this notion.
He decided not to go to the inner city.
Firstly, even for ace diving teams, the accident rate is still too high, as much as 3%.
Gambling on a 3% mortality rate?
That’s no different from seeking death?
Unless you find the true top-tier leaders, but these people generally don’t take gigs, only leading members of their own factions.
He can’t hire them!
Secondly.
Even if truly diving in, problems easily arise.
The 50000 meters inner city is the Imperial City, inhabited by true nobility.
Furthermore, any funds or unfamiliar new powerhouses arriving there, would likely be recorded and monitored by them.
Such attention made Liu Jun feel very unsafe!
Liu Jun took a deep breath, "If I want training, the most ideal way is to establish my own 50000 meters level city."
"However, building a giant deep-sea city is too difficult, the accumulation of bricks for the Divine Object city walls is despairing."
At this moment, Liu Jun once again felt that the path ahead had been monopolized by these nobility.
Anyone wanting to train to the mid-stage of the Tenth Layer must register at the 50000 meters Imperial City...
You want to dive by illegal means?
Without each relay station to restock "oxygen," you simply can’t dive to the 50000 meters depth in one breath.
"This seemingly harmonious and friendly country is also filled with schemes that treat your subordinates like dogs."
"Forget it, head back first."
Liu Jun didn’t want to enter the 50000 meters city, so he turned around, hiring another team to take him back to the 500 meters city.
"Twenty Void Coins."
The new diving team leader said, "It cost eight coins to dive, but ascending is at this price, diving is easy, ascending is difficult."
"For safety, we need to stop at every 100 meters ascended, to adjust to the upper pressure for an hour."
"With each hour of staying put, a significant Time Divine Power consumption is incurred, and we must bear the reserve of Heaven-Opening Divine Power, and all sorts of equipment expenses, which are costlier."
"Understood." Liu Jun nodded.
After a complex ascend, Liu Jun finally returned to the 500 meters level city, thereafter, he ascended directly to the sea surface.
Bubbling!
The endless ocean water had nearly become the monotonous scenery Liu Jun experienced over the next days.
Finally.
"Finally back to the surface, seeing the sky."
Upon leaving the water, seeing the vast and boundless void, Liu Jun suddenly had a sudden change of perspective, as if a world apart.
"Down there, really felt like pure imprisonment."
