"Hehe, since you have agreed, then make an oath."
As Lie Ya said this, he flicked a drop of blood from his finger. After forming a seal, it flew towards Luo Fengling, who was on the third level of Black Wind Valley. Luo Fengling received the seal and flicked a drop of blood.
This was a mental demon oath. The Luo clan disciples often used such oaths in their bets. Once it was signed, it could not be reneged, or the losses would outweigh the gains. Once the mental demon oath was made, the bet was formed.
Lie Ya chuckled and began meditating on the fourth level, in preparation for breaking through to the fifth level.
Meditating on the fourth level was not easy either. He needed to constantly power his Fey race bloodline to devour the black mist. If he was not careful, the black mist could enter his body, damaging his soul sea.
Lie Ya was gathering his strength to break through to the fifth level.
At this point in time, it was already a done deal for him to break through to the fifth level. Cang Mang had only requested for the trial disciples to reach the fifth level, but he did not request for them to gain a stable foothold on the fifth level. This was very simple for Lie Ya. The goal he set for himself was to gain a stable foothold on the fifth level, and to be able to last a short period of time in the sixth level!
After completing such a goal, even if it did not leave an impression on Lord Cang Mang, it would at least be a commendable achievement in his family clan. He could enjoy a little more of the family clan's resources.
Just as Lie Ya was fully focused on his cultivation, someone suddenly said, "Senior Brother Lie Ya, it's almost two hours..."
"Oh?" Lie Ya lifted his eyelids and used his perception on Yi Yun, who was on the first level of Black Wind Valley. He saw that Yi Yun was still the same as before. His skin was flushed red, and there was energy flowing beneath Yi Yun's skin. As his acupuncture points were sealed, the energy could not rush out. As such, he could see the energy flowing through his veins. It was a shocking sight.
However, Yi Yun was still persisting.
Lie Ya frowned slightly and said, "What's the hurry? It's only two hours. Isn't there still two hours?"
Lie Ya continued meditating in a stable manner, devouring the black mist to strengthen his bloodline.
People were rather impressed by Lie Ya's indifferent attitude. Many Fire Cloud State disciples were also paying attention to Yi Yun's situation while cultivating with Lie Ya.
Actually, Lie Ya was also paying attention.
Warriors had powerful mental powers, so they did not need any time measuring tools like water or incense. They could silently calculate the time.
Soon … four hours had passed.
Yi Yun was still sitting on the first level. He looked like he had entered a meditative trance, but his body was clearly emitting flames. He was like an esteemed monk that was undergoing nirvana in the fire. Despite the flames burning his body, he could still meditate and recite the Buddhist scriptures.
"Senior Brother Lie Ya, it's been four hours."
Lie Ya had already started the countdown in his heart, but there was a junior brother who was blind enough to remind him.
Lie Ya's expression immediately sank. How could this punk still persist?
He stared at the junior brother who spoke and wanted to curse, but at this moment, the junior brother said, "Senior Brother Lie Ya, you lost three World Stones to Luo Fengling …"
The corners of Lie Ya's mouth twitched slightly.
"Nonsense!"
Lie Ya cursed. Lie Ya did not care too much about the three World Stones, but he could not figure out what was going on with Yi Yun. Even a Heaven Fey bloodline would not be able to last that long …
Lie Ya said coldly, "Four hours is his limit. That lass, Luo Fengling, has pretty good luck. However, a loss is a loss. I won't go back on my word."
As Lie Ya said this, he sank his heart into meditation once again.
But following that …
"Senior Brother Lie Ya, it's been six hours." The talkative junior brother spoke again.
Lie Ya opened his eyes and his expression was extremely ugly.
He stood up and gave Yi Yun a puzzled glance. What was going on?
"Six hours. I don't believe that your meridians can withstand it. I want to see how long you can last."
Lie Ya clenched his fists and forcefully repressed his emotions before sitting down cross-legged again.
He could still calm his heart and cultivate, but following that …
"Senior Brother Lie Ya, it's been eight hours."
This reminder was like a curse. Lie Ya's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. He was really afraid of hearing it, but in fact, he knew that eight hours had passed.
He was infuriated as he stared hatefully at the junior brother who spoke and said unhappily, "There's no need for you to remind me!"
"Uh …" The junior brother was stunned for a moment as he shrunk his neck and did not say another word.
"Eight hours! What the hell? "
At this moment, Lie Ya no longer had the mood to cultivate. Every additional two hours meant he lost three World Stones.
Was this kid going to continue persisting?
"Good kid, you sure are ruthless. I want to see how long you can last. If you have the ability, you will lose all my wealth!"
Lie Ya was considered quite wealthy. He was, after all, older than Luo Fengling. With his salary from the Heaven Fire Hall and the support of his family clan, he could fork out thirty World Stones.
"As for World Stones, I have plenty of them. Even if I were to fork out more than twenty to buy your body explode to death, I can still afford it."
With this thought in mind, Lie Ya finally felt a little better.
But following that, ten hours, twelve hours …
As time passed bit by bit, Lie Ya could no longer sit still.
"It's been sixteen hours. Is there something amiss?" A junior brother said.
"Damn it, there must be a problem!"
Another person said. More and more people began to pay attention to Yi Yun.
They found it unbelievable that Yi Yun could last for so long.
And at this moment, Lie Ya's face turned green. He was quite wealthy, but he could not afford to lose like this. He had already signed a mental demon oath, so he could not go back on it. Not only him, even Ran Yu would feel the pinch from losing so many World Stones.
However, this was not the end. Time had passed to twenty-four hours. An entire day had passed.
Lie Ya was so anxious that he nearly stomped his feet. This was thirty-six World Stones. He did not even have that many World Stones on him. To take them out, he would even need to sell some of his treasures!
And following that, twenty-four hours, sixteen hours. Soon, half of the second day had passed.
Lie Ya was on the brink of a mental breakdown. Why did it seem like Yi Yun could continue persisting!?
Soon, the sun set in the west. Mt. Azure Billow also had arrays to maintain the sunrise and sunset. Seeing Yi Yun still look fine even after the sun had set, Lie Ya felt dizzy. His eyes turned black and he nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood.
He was like a frosted eggplant. He no longer dared to say anything like "lose all my wealth if you have the ability" to Yi Yun. This was because … he had really lost all his wealth.
He wished that he could kneel down and beg Yi Yun — Bro, don't persist any further. I can't hold on any longer.
However, Yi Yun clearly did not hear Lie Ya's prayers. The second day passed just like that. The sky was already bright, but Yi Yun did not feel anything. Lie Ya spent the entire night feeling nervous. His eyes were already red.
This situation was too strange. Yi Yun was like a brewing volcano that was about to erupt, but for some unknown reason, he had calmed down.
And the most unforgivable thing was that after persisting until the morning of the second day, Yi Yun's body suddenly floated up.
He had clearly shut off his five senses, but he managed to fly from the first level to the second level in a leisurely manner!
At this moment, there was no one left on the second level of Black Wind Valley. Even Bai Chen had barely managed to reach the third level.
Hence, the second level was left with Yi Yun alone.
No one mocked Yi Yun for being slow. After all, Yi Yun had flown to the second level while absorbing the Ancient Fey bone's energy.
Behind Yi Yun, the Nine Neonate phantom image appeared. It was wandering around, inhaling and exhaling black mist to strengthen itself. It looked like it was having a great time.
It seemed like Yi Yun found the first level's black mist to not be rich enough. While absorbing the Ancient Fey bone's energy, he could deal with the second level's black mist in Black Wind Valley!
Yi Yun absorbed the Ancient Fey bone's energy, while the Nine Neonate Aspect Totem absorbed the black mist!
Upon seeing this scene, Lie Ya really wanted to kneel down in front of Yi Yun. He originally believed that no matter how long Yi Yun persisted, there would be a limit. Now that Yi Yun had reached the second level, it meant that he still had energy left.
Are you kidding me!?
Lie Ya was sweating profusely and his eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to faint or just jump off Black Wind Valley's cliff.
What the hell was going on!? He refused to believe that a human could absorb so much Ancient Fey bone's energy even if he was beaten to death!
"That's not right! That's not right! There must be something wrong! "
Lie Ya roared. At this moment, there were already quite a number of Fire Cloud State disciples looking at Lie Ya with pity.
They all knew that Lie Ya was trying to scam Luo Fengling out of her World Stones, but now, he had already lost seventy to eighty of them.
And from the looks of it, it was not a problem for Yi Yun to exceed a hundred.
To lose a hundred World Stones in one fell swoop, Ze Ze, Lie Ya might even have to spit out everything he had gained from the Ancient Fey Edifice.
At this moment, even Cang Mang was alarmed. He looked at Yi Yun. From not paying attention to Yi Yun in the beginning, he turned interested, and finally, he found it unbelievable.
