“The previous environment is hard to reach, but a slightly better environment is worth a try. Also, what kind of rare and precious materials do you need? Let me see if the newly opened fourth heaven has what you need,” Lin Yun said after thinking for a moment.
With the opening of the new Heaven, it's not entirely devoid of resources. In addition to various energy-rich nodes, there are also some special rare and precious natural treasures. These treasures are often even rarer due to the creation of the new Heaven. Some of these treasures are shared, so whether Lin Yun finds some shared treasures or exchanges them for the treasures needed by the Three-Eyed Emperor, both are viable options.
Not to mention, the Netherworld is different from many other universes in the Great World of Living Beings. Very few of the countless universes in the Great World of Living Beings contain different time flows, while in the Netherworld, there is a major time flow leap every nine heavens.
The same applies to the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh heavens. When Lin Yun broke through the thirty-seventh heaven, he triggered the time turbulence of the Netherworld. Under the influence of this time turbulence and the vast pure energy, some rare and precious materials evolved rapidly, and some excellent rare and precious materials were inevitably born.
Lin Yun had experienced something similar when he broke through to the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Realm.
This time, he broke through four new heavens in quick succession, with almost no time difference between each breakthrough. The resulting temporal turbulence far exceeded that of when he normally broke through the thirty-seventh heaven. He sensed it just now and found that there were also a great many kinds of rare and precious materials that were born.
This is actually one of the benefits for cultivators who break through to a new level.
However, under normal circumstances, the cultivators who broke through to the new heaven were not necessarily very strong at the time. Even if they were strong, they were only slightly stronger than other cultivators and dared not offend the masses. As a result, many rare and precious materials were obtained by other powerful cultivators who entered the new heaven.
In other words, cultivators who break through to the new heaven have a stronger sense of the new heaven, which allows them to occupy a considerable number of places within it, making it one of the most abundant benefits.
However, Lin Yun's current situation is that his strength far surpasses that of other cultivators. Without his permission, no cultivator dares to touch anything in this new fourth level of heaven, which is a great gain.
At this moment, it's not a big deal for him to use some.
Lin Yun didn't value external things much. In his view, only strength was the most important thing. If the consumption of some external things could be exchanged for strength, then it was worth it.
"I probably need these kinds of rare and precious materials..." The Three-Eyed Emperor said with a wry smile, listing the names and types of rare and precious materials. This matter concerned the Blood Emperor's own needs, so he couldn't not mention it. However, he paused and then said, "Using rare and precious materials actually comes at a great cost. If the Blood Emperor doesn't urgently need me to use the Divine Eye Divine Power, it's not necessary. In comparison, the overall environment has a greater impact on my recovery after using the Divine Eye Divine Power!"
"The recovery time of about ten years that I mentioned earlier was when I was in the thirty-sixth heaven. If it were in the thirty-seventh heaven, I estimate that the recovery would be faster!" the Three-Eyed Emperor continued.
"It's alright, let's try different methods, it won't hurt!" Lin Yun waved his hand and said.
Afterwards, the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group of ghost cultivators no longer needed to stay in the Thirty-Seventh Heaven to cultivate.
Previously, the new heavens had not been properly opened up. The vast amount of pure energy was fully connected from the 40th heaven to the 37th heaven. In addition, the energy received by the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group of ghost cultivators was limited. Therefore, there was not much difference between the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group of ghost cultivators cultivating in the 37th heaven and cultivating in the 40th heaven. He had never allowed the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group of ghost cultivators to go to the 40th heaven to cultivate.
Now that the four heavens have been established, there is a significant difference in environment between the thirty-seventh and fortieth heavens. From now on, the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group of ghost cultivators can enter the fortieth heaven to cultivate.
The fortieth heaven has just been opened, and the total space is not large, but it is more than enough for these ghost cultivators to enter and cultivate, and it will not affect his own cultivation.
After quickly dealing with the Three-Eyed Emperor, Lin Yun waved his hand to open the surrounding isolation layer and looked at the ghost cultivators.
"Blood Emperor!" The ghost cultivators, who had been sensing the outside world, immediately broke their cultivation and bowed to Lin Yun upon hearing this.
"The space in the 40th Heaven is quite large. From now on, you can cultivate in the 40th Heaven. Between the 37th and 40th Heavens, I have marked some of the rare and precious materials, which you cannot use. You can use the other rare and precious materials as you wish. However, I suggest that if some rare and precious materials are not very old, you don't need to rush to collect them, so as not to waste them!"
"You can cast a restriction to protect them. I will issue a statement that any rare and precious materials protected by a restriction shall not be used by other cultivators without the permission of the protector!"
"Then, I'll instruct you to act this way. Don't worry that I'm using you as 'nourishment' or 'livestock' or anything like that. Some of you ghost cultivators have connections with me from my past lives, and some of you have powerful talents and decent character. Some of you probably already guessed the answer to the question I asked the Three-Eyed Emperor earlier. So, I might as well tell you directly: after I break through one layer of a new heaven, the difficulty of breaking through the next layer will increase significantly. If I skip some layers and break through a new heaven, the difficulty will decrease rapidly!"
"According to analysis, the Netherworld should have eighty-one heavens. Therefore, no matter how strong I am, it is unlikely that I can keep breaking through to the eighty-first heaven. So, during this period, other ghost cultivators must break through to a new heaven!"
"Therefore, I also have ulterior motives towards you! You all have the opportunity to break through the new barriers of the Netherworld!"
"Then, we will break through the new barriers of the Netherworld. There are three most important factors: strength, age, and cultivation level. The lower your cultivation level and the younger you are, the stronger you will be and the greater your advantage! With this in mind, you will have a clear idea of how to cultivate next and whether you need to hurry up!"
"Cultivation relies on competition—competing for resources and time. Sometimes, a difference of just a second can be the difference between heaven and earth. You should understand this, so don't waste opportunities and time!"
Lin Yun looked at these ghost cultivators and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the ghost cultivators erupted in uproar. However, before they could discuss further, Lin Yun pressed down with both hands, silencing them and allowing him to continue speaking.
"Some acquired ghost cultivators who have no hope of reaching the Divine Realm in this life should not despair. The higher your strength is in this life, the stronger your soul will become. Even if you are reincarnated in the future, you will have a great advantage! Furthermore, according to my speculation, if you break through the new heaven of the Netherworld in this life, you will be protected in the dark. In this way, the probability of you awakening your past life memories in your future reincarnation will greatly increase!"
"Putting everything else aside, if you really are reincarnated, some of the benefits you gained from breaking the Netherworld in your previous life may remain. Whether in the previous life or the next, you will benefit immensely. Therefore, whether you are acquired ghost cultivators or innate ghost cultivators, this is worth your effort!"
"Now, those of you who are willing to cultivate in the fortieth heaven can come with me to the fortieth heaven. Those who are not willing can leave freely!" Lin Yun said at the end.
"I do!"
"I do!"
"I'd love to!"
The ghost cultivators hurriedly replied, their hearts filled with excitement.
From then on, they were allowed to cultivate in the 40th Heaven, with the permission of the Blood Emperor. Their safety was extremely high, and who would dare to act recklessly in the 40th Heaven?
Furthermore, according to the Blood Emperor's words, they can also search for many rare and precious materials in the thirty-seventh to fortieth heavens. Almost once they find them, they will be theirs. With a little protection, it won't take them much time.
Of course, this excludes those already marked by the Blood Emperor. However, this is still a huge benefit. They believe that since the Blood Emperor said so, the number of rare and precious materials he left behind must be considerable.
Under normal circumstances, many of the ghost cultivators among them are not among the strongest in the upper echelons of the Netherworld. If they were to seize the treasures by force based on their true strength, they might not be able to obtain many rare and precious materials.
Now, only a small number of ghost cultivators are seizing it. What a huge windfall this is!
Naturally, none of the ghost cultivators were idiots who disagreed.
Soon, all the ghost cultivators agreed.
Although all of this was within Lin Yun's expectations, he was still gratified to see the result. In this way, the matter could be considered completed.
"By the way, do you have any of these rare and precious materials? If you do, you can exchange them for my marked rare and precious materials, or something else! If you don't have them, or if you know where to find them, you can exchange them elsewhere and then trade with me!" Just then, Lin Yun suddenly thought of something and immediately released some information about rare and precious materials for the ghost cultivators to see.
The rare and precious materials mentioned in this information are naturally the rare and precious materials information that the Three-Eyed Emperor just passed on to him.
Believe it or not, there really were ghost cultivators present, and quite a few of them. After all, the Three-Eyed Emperor's collection power as a single ghost cultivator was somewhat weak, while the ghost cultivators present were almost all high-level forces in the Netherworld, each with their own considerable collections.
“Blood Emperor, I have two here. As for exchanging them for rare and precious materials, there’s no need. The Blood Emperor has already granted us permission to cultivate in the 40th Heaven and has also given us many rare and precious materials from the 37th to the 40th Heaven. This is already a great favor. These two small rare and precious materials are just a token of my appreciation!” A low-level Saint King Ghost Cultivator took out two rare and precious materials and said.
"Blood Emperor, I have three treasures here..." A peak Saint King level ghost cultivator took out three rare and precious materials and said.
“Blood Emperor, I have something here…” said a superior Saint King-level ghost cultivator.
Soon, Lin Yun collected four portions of the same rare and precious materials from the Three-Eyed Emperor. According to the Three-Eyed Emperor, the rare and precious materials from him allowed him to use the Divine Eye Divine Power more than ten times in a row. These rare and precious materials could allow him to use the Divine Eye Divine Power thirty or forty times in a row.
With the rare and precious materials on both sides combined, plus the three times that the Three-Eyed Emperor could originally use, the Three-Eyed Emperor could use his divine eye power almost forty or fifty times in a short period of time.
This number isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either.
Lin Yun naturally didn't want to take advantage of these ghost cultivators, nor was it necessary. Now, having just broken through to the fourth level of the new Heaven, he had collected almost half of the rare and precious materials within, including many extraordinary ones, making him incredibly wealthy.
Naturally, he didn't need to take advantage of these ghost cultivators, even though he had already given them many benefits.
No, he believed that the treasures that appeared in the new heaven of the Netherworld should belong to all the ghost cultivators in the Netherworld. In fact, he also planned to let these ghost cultivators cultivate with all their might and reach the conditions to break through the new heaven of the Netherworld as soon as possible. It would be necessary to give them some benefits.
On the other hand, he feared that if he accepted the rare and precious materials from these ghost cultivators without giving them any benefits, some of them would be unwilling to hand over the materials they had collected, or would not wholeheartedly help him collect them. Alternatively, once he released this news, other ghost cultivators would be afraid to exchange rare and precious materials with him.
Oh, all the other ghost cultivators offer things up without asking for anything, but you're asking for it? Do you think you're more powerful than the other ghost cultivators? Or do you believe you're stronger than the Blood Emperor?
It's unnecessary to make him collect fewer of these rare and precious materials just for a little profit!
However, Lin Yun underestimated the gratitude of these ghost cultivators. They really didn't want anything; they gave it all away willingly, which Lin Yun could roughly sense.
In the end, Lin Yun forced these ghost cultivators to accept some of the rare and precious materials they needed.
On the other side, the Three-Eyed Emperor couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
He knew the situation in the Netherworld better than anyone. The vast majority of ghost cultivators were selfish and self-serving, not to mention those ghost cultivators who had reached the upper echelons of the Netherworld. Without some kind of scheming and manipulation, it would be almost impossible to get to this point!
It's really too difficult to get ghost cultivators at this level to willingly part with their benefits!
However, at this moment, he sensed the strong sense of willingness among the ghost cultivators!
"Good character... Could this be the reason why the Blood Emperor spared them? Or is it a case of exchanging affection for affection? A scholar will die for one who understands him?" The Three-Eyed Emperor thought to himself.
Not to mention these ghost cultivators, even he himself was willing to give all the rare and precious materials he had collected to the Blood Emperor. He was even willing to use the Divine Eye Divine Power for the Blood Emperor for free, without damaging his own essence, and he would even accept slight damage to his own essence.
Thinking this, the Three-Eyed Emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
What is this? Is it the aura of a king that makes all the ghost cultivators unable to resist submitting?
The Blood Emperor has already reincarnated and is now a living being. This living being has actually made all the high-ranking ghost cultivators of the Netherworld, including him, who was originally known as the number one ghost cultivator in the Netherworld and was one of the Nine Emperors and the Lord of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, submit.
It has to be said, this is a miracle.
The Three-Eyed Emperor seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all.
In the end, the Three-Eyed Emperor let go of the matter and stopped thinking about it.
