358 Three Years
A month later.
Yuchi had successfully absorbed the moon fragment.
Originally, this piece of moon fragment was transparent. However, it was now quite cloudy.
Many cracks could be seen on the moon fragment. At the same time, a gentle breeze blew, and the entire moon fragment turned into dust, completely disappearing.
The speed of absorption was relatively fast, but the process of using it to strengthen one’s Dao heart was definitely not something that could be done overnight.
Yuchi slowly opened his eyes.
“I wonder how much has changed after refining the moon fragment?”
[Name: Yuchi]
[Demigod: 0.1%]
[Dao heart (main): Deathmatch]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Black-gold Sun]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Hellfire Dance (Level 3)]
[Dao heart (secondary): Nature]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Faceless Fish]
[Nature Dao heart skill: Life and Death (Level 2)]
[Treasures: 1,000 drops of Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid.]
He instantly felt deflated.
Yuchi could feel that his strength had increased significantly, perhaps by at least 10%.
In the end, this 10% was only a 0.1% increase based on Cofuran’s judgment.
In other words, if he solely relied on moon fragments to break through to the demigod realm, he would need 1000 moon fragments?
Yuchi smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Yue Hanjiang was by his side, cultivating slowly with her eyes closed.
Since his disciple was busy cultivating, Yuchi decided to keep going, and took out the Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid.
He began to absorb the Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid.
Unlike the moon fragment, the Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid could be directly consumed without undergoing any refining process.
The Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid’s rate of absorption was also much faster than the moon fragment’s.
Yuchi was able to absorb one drop of Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid every day.
In total, he spent over three years absorbing all 1,000 drops. Now, his attributes panel was as follows.
[Name: Yuchi]
[Demigod: 10.1%]
[Dao heart (main): Deathmatch]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Black-gold Sun]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Hellfire Dance (Level 3)]
[Dao heart (secondary): Nature]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Faceless Fish]
[Nature Dao heart skill: Life and Death (Level 2)]
[Treasures: Idiot, you have no more treasures!]
If a single moon fragment increased the progress bar by 0.1%, then it took ten drops of Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid to increase it by the same amount, which meant that ten drops of Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid was roughly equivalent to a moon fragment.
In that case, the moon fragment Gu Yushen had given him could be considered quite valuable.
As for his actual combat strength…
Although Yuchi had not fought a Dao heart realm cultivator, after three years had passed, he could sense that his strength had increased almost tenfold!
However, this was only 10% of the way to the demigod realm. He wondered how strong he would be when actually reached the demigod realm.
Perhaps it would be equivalent to the gap in strength between a Dao heart realm cultivator and a half-step Dao heart realm cultivator.
Of course, in the past three years, it was not only Yuchi’s cultivation that had progressed. The number of little animals in his mind had also doubled. His entire sea of consciousness now felt like a normal world. The faceless fish had filled his sea of consciousness with a lot of greenery, which gave it an air of vitality.
With so many little animals cultivating and comprehending at the same time, Yuchi finally created his second Deathmatch Dao heart skill…
Netherworld bloodsucking!
Now, as long as Yuchi killed an enemy that had yet to reach the Dao realm, he could absorb all of the enemy’s attributes, which were the constitution, strength, and speed that were no longer on his attributes panel.
However, if the enemy had reached the Dao realm, Dao essence realm, or Dao heart realm, Yuchi could take their Dao aura for himself and use it to advance his cultivation.
To him, the creation of his second Deathmatch Dao heart skill was more exciting than reaching the 10%-mark toward the demigod realm.
Now, standing on the mountain in his sea of consciousness, he looked at the beautiful rivers and forests in front of him, and then at the black sun and faceless fish in the sky.
The beautiful and vibrant scenery in his sea of consciousness brought him immense joy.
[Name: Yuchi]
[Demigod: 10.1%]
[Dao heart (main): Deathmatch]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Black-gold Sun]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Hellfire Dance (Level 3)]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Netherworld Bloodsucking (Level 1)]
[Dao heart (secondary): Nature]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Faceless Fish]
[Nature Dao heart skill: Life and Death (Level 2)]
[Treasures: Stop looking. You really don’t have any treasures. Also, you’re indeed a bit abnormal. You can even learn something evil like Netherworld Bloodsucking. Once this becomes known, people will hate you for it. Still, I like it very much.]
It seemed that Cofuran had quite the personality.
“Interesting,” Yuchi laughed.
The next step would be to finally continue his journey to the primordial sea.
“Master, I can feel that you’re much stronger than before!”
Yue Hanjiang was awakened by Yuchi’s laughter.
Now, another three years had passed, and she was less than ten years old.
Despite that, she looked like a teenager.
It was really a little scary.
Yuchi said to Yue Hanjiang with a smile, “Then what about you? Three years ago, you were only a seventh-grade Dao realm cultivator. Now you’re a fourth-grade Dao realm cultivator. It’s only a matter of time before you reach the Dao essence realm.”
When Yue Hanjiang heard her master’s praise, she happily grabbed his arm.
“It’s all thanks to Master’s teachings!”
He did not know whether to laugh or cry. That was clearly a bad joke.
Soon after, they left the small wooden cabin.
As Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang traveled toward the primordial sea, he thought about whether he should focus on creating new techniques, or strengthening existing ones.
Although he could divide the roles between the little animals in his sea of consciousness, Yuchi still felt that it would be better to concentrate his efforts on one thing.
After thinking about it, he decided to go with strengthening.
As a result, all the little animals began to focus on strengthening the Hellfire Dance skill. Although it was easy enough on paper, it required comprehension of his own Dao heart, as any new developments of the skill had to be derived from scratch.
It was easier said than done.
