In the following days, Lin Mo devoted himself to staying in the Inheritance Palace, carefully studying the images of beasts on these statues!

In the seventh month, Lin Mo broke through the barrier of the Four Seal Netherworld Pattern Master. Similarly, after the breakthrough, he needed to absorb a large amount of Netherworld Pill to fully enter the ranks of the Four Seal Netherworld Pattern Masters!

The Netherworld Pills given by Thirteen and Fourteen had been completely refined and absorbed by him within half a year. At the same time, the Star Feather Insects successfully hatched another hundred star system-level Star Feather Insect beasts. As soon as Lin Mo stepped into the realm of the Three Seal Netherworld Pattern Master, he completely subdued the Golden Corpse. Now, he could easily manipulate the Golden Corpse, which was like having a star domain-level henchman by his side.

The first year passed in the blink of an eye.

With the improvement of his realm, the speed of studying the statues gradually slowed down. However, this slowness was relative. In contrast, Twelve and Thirteen had become completely stunned. Every time they saw Lin Mo decode the inheritance of a statue’s Nether Power Image, their initial shock gradually turned into numbness.

"Brother Twelve, Brother Thirteen, do you still have any Netherworld Pills? I’m out of mine," Lin Mo asked them with a calm expression.

"None left, none left."

"The old man’s stock has been completely drained by you."

Their faces changed immediately, looking at Lin Mo as if villagers faced a bandit raiding their village.

Lin Mo sighed, "I thought you two brothers claimed to have a bond as strong as gold and as open as a book, but I didn’t expect you to be so stingy when I just want to borrow a little Netherworld Pill. It seems I, Lin Tanyu, have misjudged you."

Listening to Lin Mo, they almost spat blood. Fortunately, this is the Netherworld King’s Tomb, with many hidden Netherworld Pills in the secret chambers; otherwise, considering Lin Mo’s cultivation speed, they wouldn’t be able to supply such a vast number of Netherworld Pills even if they were drained dry.

"Ah, I have only a thousand Netherworld Pills left."

"I have only eight hundred Netherworld Pills left."

After speaking, the two reluctantly handed over two space rings to Lin Mo. Lin Mo took the space rings and seriously cupped his fists in gratitude, "Thank you, brothers. I’ll repay this favor when I get a chance."

Then, Lin Mo continued his cultivation with the Netherworld Pills.

Day after day, he comprehended the Nether Power Map, then absorbed Netherworld Pills for cultivation!

...

Time flew unnoticed in cultivation. In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo had been in the Inheritance Palace for three years.

"Persist!"

"Don’t give up."

Lin Mo was drenched in sweat, his long black hair hanging down to his waist. His hand was slowly sketching with purple nether power in the void, and a delicate and mysterious image was slowly taking shape. At this moment, Lin Mo’s entire body felt as if it was burning with pain.

The burn from the inside out made Lin Mo feel as if all his internal organs were scorching.

Finally.

The image in the void, after a hundred and two failures, finally succeeded. The pattern outlined by nether power floated vividly in the air. It stayed for a few seconds before disappearing due to the lack of ongoing nether power injection.

Behind Lin Mo, around the Black Snake Totem, seven flame imprints appeared, like they were burning...

Yes, three years of time.

Three years of hard cultivation, he finally stepped into the ranks of the Seven Seals Netherworld Pattern Master.

A Seven Seal Netherworld Pattern Master was already equivalent to a star domain-level early-stage expert. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"I’ve succeeded. Now, even without using the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, I can still stand proudly against a star domain-level expert." Lin Mo’s palm revealed a purple flame, with his eyes shining brightly. Then, with a firm grasp of his hand, the purple flame turned into sparks and disappeared entirely.

The improvement in strength filled Lin Mo’s heart with a passionate feeling of excitement.

"Brothers," Lin Mo excitedly called out, looking at Twelve and Thirteen.

"No more, Lin Tanyu, little brother..."

"Really none left, Lin Tanyu, little brother, please spare us, in these past three years, all our Netherworld Pills have been completely drained by you."

Seeing Lin Mo approaching, Twelve and Thirteen’s faces changed with ’fear’.

Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly, "Don’t worry, brothers, I’m not asking for Netherworld Pills. I’m planning to leave here."

"You’re planning to leave?" Twelve’s eyes lit up, nearly jumping with excitement, though his face quickly showed reluctance, "Lin Tanyu, little brother, your cultivation speed here has been incredibly fast. If you keep at it, you might reach the Nine Seals Netherworld Pattern Master sooner than expected."

"Yes, the Nine Seals Netherworld Pattern Master, I’m looking forward to it too." Lin Mo’s eyes gleamed.

Thirteen said quickly, "Twelve, what are you saying? What effect does endless cultivation have? It’s still better to venture out for experience and progress faster. Lin Tanyu, little brother, if you want to leave, we definitely won’t stop you." As he spoke, Thirteen gave Twelve a meaningful glance.

Twelve instantly realized and said, "Right, Thirteen is right. Fourteen, you should hurry up and venture outside; that’s the best place for you to hone yourself."

Lin Mo shook his head. Over the past three years, he had drained quite a number of resources from the two of them, so he felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Well, three years have passed, and I think the selection event of the Star Sky Alliance has begun. I want to join the Star Sky Alliance, I can’t stay here forever to cultivate. Although the atmosphere for comprehending nether power here is excellent, I have already imprinted the images of the twelve statues in my mind, so I can continue to comprehend them wherever I go."

Twelve and Thirteen listened to his words, once again showing a trace of shock on their faces, their eyes wide open.

"Did you say you’ve already imprinted the Nether Power Images from the twelve statues into your mind?" Twelve’s eyes widened.

Lin Mo nodded, "Yes, as the level of a Netherworld Pattern Master increases, the comprehension becomes more challenging. If I stay here, my progress will be slow, so I’ve imprinted the Nether Power Images from the statues into my Divine Sea. I can comprehend them anytime, and as for the thirteenth statue, it contains a very powerful Netherworld Technique."

Lin Mo said this while taking out a jade scroll, "Brothers, over these three years, you have consumed quite a lot of Netherworld Pills. I’ve copied this Netherworld Technique onto this scroll, it is a holy-grade attack Netherworld Technique, considered as my repayment to the two of you."

Twelve received the jade scroll, and both swept it with their spiritual power, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.

A holy-grade Netherworld Technique is equivalent to boundary-level martial arts, and a relatively strong attack technique among boundary-level martial arts.

"Is it really a holy-grade Netherworld Technique?" Thirteen said excitedly.

"The two of us have been here for hundreds of years comprehending, but never got such benefits. Fourteen, this favor, your two brothers will remember." Twelve said.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded. Since being betrayed by Lang Ya Jun in a past life, Lin Mo hadn’t made many true friends. Although these two old men had strange personalities, they were quite good to him. Lin Mo had also consumed many of their Netherworld Pills; others offered him a peach, and he reciprocated with a plum.

"Brothers, this time when I leave, I don’t know when we will meet again," Lin Mo said with emotion.

"No rush, we will meet again very soon," Twelve chuckled, "By the way, outside Hive Star, there have been many flies for these past three years. Do you need your brother to help you drive them away?"

Lin Mo shook his head and smiled, "No need, let me handle these flies myself. Yin Shang drove me to this point three years ago, and it’s time to settle that score."

Saying that, Lin Mo’s palm gathered true yuan, a sharp light flashed, his shoulder-length black hair was cut evenly, and he slowly soared toward the gate of the palace.
