"The entire garden is split into eleven regions. Each region is separated by formations. The formations in the regions that belong to the ten halls can block attacks from Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes or even Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. The central region of the garden has the strongest defences. Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes will need to expend quite a lot of effort to get through it. "
"However, although the formations are powerful, they've all been cast down in the same way as the Saints' World in order to prevent the energy from leaking out. All the energy the formations absorb is supplied by divine crystals. Once the divine crystals run out, or if the formations can't keep up with the rate at which they consume energy, they'll collapse no matter how powerful they are." Jianchen stood outside the garden as he studied the formation carefully with the senses of his soul. Gradually, a smile appeared on his lips.
He had already calculated that although the formation in the centre of the garden could block attacks from Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes, it clearly could not last for too long. As a matter of fact, from the way the formation was set up, its rate of energy absorption could not keep up with the rate at which it consumed energy from the attacks of a high level Infinite Prime.
As a result, the formation would only be able to withstand a few heavy attacks before it collapsed due to the lack of energy.
After all, this was the Dark Star World, not the Saints' World. If it were the Saints' World, some high level formations could even constantly absorb energy from the sea of stars to replenish themselves, allowing them to operate without exhaustion. Without overwhelming strength, it would be extremely difficult to break through forcefully.
"The energy required to break through to the next level is extremely tremendous. It's several hundred times or even a thousand times more than usual. We'll probably have to pay a huge price this time." Dou Wujin, who stood behind Jianchen, felt pained when he sensed the rate at which the energy in the garden was being consumed.
"Normally, we basically only come here to replenish divine crystals once every ten years, but at this rate, we'll probably need to replenish it once every ten days. Who knows how long it'll take for the Fruit of Dao to reach high quality," Bing Yuan said bitterly.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The energy in the herb garden can only last for a few hours. Let's quickly replenish our divine crystals." With a wave of his hand, a large pile of Divine Crystals appeared out of thin air. They piled up into a small mountain in front of him.
Most of these Divine Crystals were supreme grade Divine Crystals. There were also a few colored Divine Crystals. Almost all of them were one-colored or two-colored. If all of them were counted in terms of supreme grade Divine Crystals, there would be at least a hundred million of them.
Afterwards, Dou Wujin and Bing Yuan took out all the divine crystals they had in their Space Rings.
The energy replenishment of the garden once every ten years was personally carried out by the vice-hall masters of the various divine halls. As a result, the three of them all carried quite a lot of divine crystals on them, which was enough to replenish the garden once at the very least.
Jianchen also looked through Kun Tian's Space Ring when he saw this. When he had first obtained Kun Tian's Space Ring, he had discovered that there were a large number of divine crystals stored in it. They were all piled up in an inconspicuous corner like a pile of trash.
Jianchen had found it strange back then. He did not understand why an expert of Kun Tian's level would carry around a pile of divine crystals that were completely useless to him. He had no use for cultivating, and there was no need for him to condescend to trade with cultivators in the outside world with his status as a hall master of one of the ten divine halls.
However, Jianchen now understood that Kun Tian's divine crystals were also prepared for the herb garden.
Moreover, when he extended the senses of his soul, he discovered that it was not just Kun Tian. Even the hall masters of the other nine divine halls carried large amounts of divine crystals with them.
Afterwards, Bing Yuan took action. He opened a formation eye and tossed all the divine crystals into it.
With the replenishment of energy, the formation in the eye of the formation immediately began to operate madly. It extracted the energy from the divine crystals at an extremely fast speed. Apart from a small portion that was used to maintain the formation's operation, the rest was poured into the medicinal garden.
The Dao Breeding Fruit also seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence. When it sensed that the energy in the herb garden had become sufficient, its rate of absorption immediately increased once again.
This led to a ferocious energy storm in the herb garden. The Dao Birth Fruit was plundering the energy of the entire herb garden. It was like it had turned into a giant suction cup. Not only was it absorbing the energy of its own area, but it was also absorbing the energy of the other ten areas that belonged to the ten hall masters. The Dao Birth Fruit didn't hesitate to absorb the energy of the entire herb garden.
The rate at which the Dao Breeding Fruit absorbed energy increased once again. As a result, the divine crystals that could last for ten days could only last for five days.
Sensing this, the three vice-hall masters behind Jianchen and the nine hall masters in the other regions all became extremely stern.
"Oh no, the rate at which the Dao Breeding Fruit absorbs energy during its advancement has completely exceeded our expectations. The divine crystals we've stored up over the years probably won't be able to last for very long …"
The senses of the souls of many Primordial realm experts intertwined in the air above the herb garden as they communicated with one another.
"I don't know how long it will take to complete the Dao Bearing Fruit's advancement. Based on the rate of consumption, all the divine crystals in our ten great temples can only last for a month or so. After that, we can only watch helplessly as the Dao Bearing Fruit's advancement fails …"
"If the advancement of the Dao Bearing Fruit fails, the entire tree will be destroyed. Hence, this advancement must succeed. I'm going back to the temple immediately and have my subordinates purchase Divine Crystals with all their might …" This was the voice of Jia Di, the lord of the seventh hall.
"Yeah. Let's go back quickly. We need to exchange for some divine crystals as well, or our herb garden will probably wither away …"
The hall masters of the ten divine halls began to return with their vice-hall masters.
At the same time, an armored Divine King of the Darkstar race stood before the teleportation formation on the huge square of the seventh divine hall in the imperial capital of the Darkstar race. He waited for the hall master to return.
The Divine King was a general that the seventh hall master, Jia Di, had sent to the Hundred Saints City.
Beside the general were a few Divine Kings who held positions in the seventh divine hall.
"General Guan, what has happened in the Hundred Holy City? Why do you need to personally report to the hall master?" A Godking who held an official position in the seventh divine hall smiled gently.
However, the Divine King referred to as General Guan was in no mood to chat with them. He only stared at the teleportation formation in a hurry and asked, "When will the hall master return?"
"General Guan, don't be in such a hurry. The hall master usually doesn't go out for too long, so he should return very soon …"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the teleportation array in front of them suddenly emitted a blinding light. The Seventh Hall Master, Jia Di, appeared on the teleportation array with two Deputy Hall Masters.
The hall masters of the other nine divine halls had returned as well.
