Chapter 1047 - 1045: Accumulation
After helping Tofu Lady sell tofu for three days, Lu Ye returned to the Sacred Mountain.
Pushing open his own door, the room was filled with blood crystals of varying sizes and qualities, evidently sent by the senior brother's orders.
Blood crystals come from the Blood Race. In this recent war, the human race didn't collect many blood crystals because almost all of the invading Blood Race were slain outside the defense line, their bodies falling into the Empyrean Sea, making it impossible to collect any blood crystals.
These blood crystals were collected from previous battles and stored, in significant quantities.
Lu Ye smiled knowingly and went into the room, sitting cross-legged.
He activated the power of the Talent Tree, and invisible roots spread out, plunging into the nearby blood crystals, devouring them to their heart's content, transforming them into his own foundation.
The cultivation in the True Lake Realm is for cultivators to refine their own spirit force. Every advancement in a level involves a transformation of spirit force, and the True Lake Level 9 involves nine transformations of spirit force.
Theoretically, the disparity between each minor level in the True Lake Realm causes the spirit force quality and quantity to differ by a factor of two. However, in reality, the difference is not that vast.
Nonetheless, each level's advancement in the True Lake Realm significantly boosts a cultivator's strength.
This is why as cultivators progress in their cultivation, it's increasingly difficult to defeat enemies across levels. Those talented elites who could fight across levels in the Spirit Stream Realm and Cloud River Realm may not have such an ability in the True Lake Realm.
Lu Ye is an exception.
In the True Lake Level 1, he developed Mental Consciousness, which, when supplemented by Mental Consciousness, often allowed him to defeat enemies across several levels. Back when he was at True Lake Level 3, he killed Tan Shu, who was several levels above him, at the Dark Moon Forest Pass, causing a major stir. The name of Li Taibai resounded throughout Dark Moon Forest Pass overnight, even being once recognized by the small pass chief, Lin Yue, as someone who could rival Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect.
