Three months later, the forty-second to forty-fifth heavens were all fully opened up, and the massive tide of heaven and earth power quickly receded.
The rest is to slowly expand until it reaches the size that these four new heavens should be, just like the other heavens that have already been opened up, which will also slowly expand because of the opening of these new heavens.
During this period, the concentration of the power of heaven and earth in each layer of the Netherworld will be far greater than normal. This is also a period of great development for the Netherworld, just like when Lin Yun was the Blood Emperor and quickly broke through the eight new layers of the Netherworld.
Of course, this period of great development will far surpass the previous period of great development. When Lin Yun was the Blood Emperor, although he also broke through eight new layers of the Netherworld, it took tens of millions of years in the realm of living beings. The time from the nineteenth to the twenty-sixth layer of the Netherworld was even longer.
This time, Lin Yun not only broke through nine new layers of heaven, but these nine new layers of heaven were also the thirty-seventh to forty-fifth heavens, which were far higher than the heavens of the past, and he did so in less than a thousand years.
If placed in the lower heavens, it would take less than a hundred years, less than ten years, or even only a few dozen days. If placed in the Great World of Living Beings, it would take only a little over three days.
In just over three days, the Great World of Living Beings has broken through the Ninth Heaven. How terrifying is that?
If this matter were to reach the ears of the top experts in the Great World of Living Beings, it would be extremely shocking!
If it continues to develop at this rate, the Netherworld may very well become a vast world of living beings comparable to a universe containing countless creatures!
Naturally, the environmental improvement brought about by opening up so many high heavens in such a short time is far beyond what it used to be. In the past few months, Lin Yun's perception of the entire Netherworld has become many times stronger.
Furthermore, his spiritual power has even extended beyond his own realm to explore many lower realms.
He could vaguely sense that the strength of the ghost cultivators in each heaven was improving rapidly, and many top ghost cultivator geniuses were beginning to show their talents, with new ghost cultivators rising one after another.
A year later, Lin Yun opened his eyes.
In the year that followed, he had broken through the nine new heavens of the Netherworld, and the momentum of his cultivation was not yet exhausted. However, after the vast power of heaven and earth receded, the residual heat of his cultivation had almost cooled down, and his cultivation speed had decreased many times over.
Continuing his cultivation would be a time-consuming and laborious process. He had already spent enough time in the Netherworld. In a few days, that event would occur in the Great World of Living Beings, and he could no longer stay in the Netherworld.
"Three-Eyed Emperor, I am about to head to the Great World of Living Beings. I have something I need your help with..." Lin Yun flashed and arrived at the place where the Three-Eyed Emperor was cultivating. He looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor and said.
"My lord, are you about to head to the Great World of Living Beings? You have only recently broken through to the ninth level of the new Heaven. If you cultivate in the Netherworld for a while longer, your strength will surely increase greatly. The time flow difference between the forty-fifth level of the Netherworld and the Great World of Living Beings is enormous, so it won't take long..." The Three-Eyed Emperor opened his eyes, saw Lin Yun in front of him, and quickly stood up, exclaiming in surprise.
During this time, he witnessed Lin Yun's rapid growth. When he first entered the Netherworld, he was less than a hundred years old.
Next, in less than a thousand years, he broke through the nine new layers of the Netherworld, and then broke through from the Upper Saint King realm to the Peak Saint King realm. While still in the Saint King realm, he condensed the power of time that only a God Realm expert could condense. Furthermore, after breaking through the nine new layers of the Netherworld, a large amount of power of time descended from heaven and earth and was refined by him.
Each and every event was like a miracle.
And this is something the Blood Emperor accomplished in less than a thousand years, from the thirtieth to the fortieth heaven of the Netherworld.
If this were placed in the vast world of living beings, how terrifying it would be if only three or four days had passed.
If the Blood Emperor could cultivate for another ten thousand years in the forty-fifth heaven of the Netherworld, he estimated that it wouldn't be impossible for the Blood Emperor to break through to the God Realm.
Ten thousand years in the forty-fifth heaven of the Netherworld would only take thirty or forty days in the Great World of Living Beings.
For the countless powerful beings in the vast world of living beings, thirty or forty days is an incredibly small number. Traveling from one place to another could easily take much longer!
He didn't know what the Blood Emperor was so eager to do in the Great World of Living Beings. Couldn't he even afford to delay for thirty or forty days? If not, even a few days would allow the Blood Emperor to greatly increase his strength!
"There's no time left." Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
Although, according to Little Ear's disciple, there are still about ten days until that matter, he cannot actually rush there at that time. This matter has been delayed for too long, and the closer it gets to the end, the more likely an accident will occur at any moment.
He didn't want anything unexpected to happen at the last minute.
By then, it was too late for him to regret it.
The power of reincarnation is extremely mysterious.
Reincarnation is not entirely safe; just look at how he sank into the cycle of reincarnation for hundreds of millions of years and almost failed to awaken.
He was once the Blood Emperor of the Netherworld, the number one ghost cultivator in the Netherworld, and in his previous life, he was a prince of the God Clan.
If he takes such a big risk, then Xiao Erduo and Zi Yun are even more vulnerable. Even if he is confident that he can quickly achieve greater success in the Netherworld and even gain some control over the power of reincarnation, it would be best to avoid this situation. This is the worst possible option.
Moreover, it's uncertain whether Xiao Erduo and Zi Yun can successfully reincarnate. What if the people there are prepared and prevent Xiao Erduo and Zi Yun's souls from escaping?
Therefore, to prevent any accidents, he must go as soon as possible.
If he hadn't been too weak at the time, he wouldn't have even entered the Netherworld and wasted those three or four days.
Unfortunately, he entered the Netherworld too late, but who could have imagined that such a thing would happen?
When he entered the Netherworld, his strength was not very strong, and he was already taking a certain risk. If this hadn't happened, he would have planned to enter the Netherworld after a while!
Lin Yun shook his head and thought, "That disciple Xiao Erduo's message came too late. If it had come a few days earlier, it wouldn't have been so rushed."
"Alright!" Seeing Lin Yun's behavior, the Three-Eyed Emperor knew that the Blood Emperor probably had something very important and urgent to do, so he could only say helplessly.
"By the way, if there's anything the Blood Emperor needs Three-Eyed to do, please don't hesitate to give the order!" Then, Three-Eyed Emperor thought of Lin Yun's earlier words and said.
"I'm going to the Land of Reincarnation to search for the souls of a few friends. If I find them, I hope you can take care of them while I'm away from the Netherworld..." Lin Yun said thoughtfully.
Not every living being can become a ghost cultivator after their soul enters the Netherworld. The vast majority will be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, waiting for reincarnation. Only a small number of ghost cultivators can break free and become ghost cultivators.
However, in the vast world of living beings, in a universe of billions of living beings, countless trillions of living beings perish every moment. Even if only a tiny fraction of these living beings become ghost cultivators, the accumulated number in the Netherworld is still considerable.
Therefore, the number of acquired ghost cultivators in the Netherworld far exceeds the number of innate ghost cultivators.
Even a powerful ghost cultivator like the Three-Eyed Emperor couldn't easily sense the Soul of his friends in the Land of Reincarnation. Therefore, when he first entered the Netherworld, he didn't search for their souls.
Now, his strength is incomparable to when he first entered the Netherworld. In addition, he has broken through the new heavens of a small whole in the Netherworld and gained the power of the entire Netherworld.
He felt that his perception in the Netherworld's cycle of reincarnation should also be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, his success rate in searching for the souls of those friends should be greatly increased.
He will spend a day in the Great World of Living Beings searching for the souls of his friends. Whether he finds them or not, he will leave the Netherworld and return there to continue his search once he has resolved matters in the Great World of Living Beings.
This was what Lin Yun was thinking.
His interactions with the Three-Eyed Emperor over this period of time have given him a better understanding of the emperor's personality and made him feel more at ease. Therefore, he believes that once he finds the souls of his friends and has the Three-Eyed Emperor take care of them, there shouldn't be any problem.
"The Land of Reincarnation? Please rest assured, my lord, Three-Eyed Emperor will do his best to take care of your friend..." Upon hearing Lin Yun mention the Land of Reincarnation, Three-Eyed Emperor was initially startled. The power of reincarnation in the Land of Reincarnation was not something that could be easily accessed. However, he quickly recovered and bowed respectfully.
The power of reincarnation in the Land of Reincarnation is difficult to access, but even for powerful individuals like them, it's not impossible to make contact. Given the immense strength of the Blood Emperor, finding a few souls shouldn't be a problem.
“Alright, you will come with me to the Land of Reincarnation!” Lin Yun nodded.
As he spoke, he released a power that enveloped the Three-Eyed Emperor. Then, with a thought, he and the Three-Eyed Emperor passed through layers of heavenly barriers and quickly headed towards the Land of Reincarnation.
The Land of Reincarnation is not located in any of the heavens of the Netherworld, but it is adjacent to the First Heaven. Therefore, they must first go to the First Heaven before they can enter the Land of Reincarnation.
During this period, Lin Yun released his powerful sensing power to perceive the situation of each new heaven.
Although he had sensed it when he entered the Netherworld, he did not sense the souls of his friends.
However, on the one hand, his strength at the time was not strong enough, and without the support of the overall power of the Netherworld, his perception was not strong. Perhaps the souls of his friends were in some other realm, and he could not sense them.
On the other hand, it's possible that during the time he was cultivating in the Netherworld, the souls of his friends happened to leave the cycle of reincarnation and head to these higher realms.
"This..." The Three-Eyed Emperor was slightly shocked as he watched Lin Yun traverse the various realms of the Netherworld with ease.
Under normal circumstances, when they travel from one heaven to another, they mostly use powerful attacks to break through the spatial barrier. Even if some powerful ghost cultivators are the masters of that heaven, they can break through the adjacent spatial barrier with less power.
But what does he see now?
Lin Yun seemed to have used no power at all. With just a thought, he silently broke through the spatial barrier between the two heavens, as freely as a fish swimming in water. If it were just the heaven that Lin Yun broke through, it would be fine. But they had already entered the thirty-sixth and thirty-fifth heavens, and it was still like this. So one has to admit the amazing power of Lin Yun.
"Could this be the benefit of breaking through nine new layers of the Netherworld and a small overall layer of the Netherworld?" the Three-Eyed Emperor thought to himself.
Back then, Lin Yun had said that he planned to break through the thirty-seventh to forty-fifth heavens himself. At that time, he had a vague idea of what was going on. Later, after Lin Yun broke through the forty-fifth heaven...
The pure power of time descended between heaven and earth, proving his guess. After learning about the strength and level of the power of time, he knew that it was definitely not something that a ghost cultivator who simply broke through the forty-fifth heaven could obtain.
In retrospect, it seems that the Blood Emperor also gained other benefits at the time.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor was only shocked by Lin Yun's strength, and felt no jealousy whatsoever.
The difference in strength between the two was so great that the Three-Eyed Emperor could no longer feel jealousy.
Now, although the Three-Eyed Emperor has not explicitly stated that he is following Lin Yun, it is practically the same as following him.
The Three-Eyed Emperor was hoping that in the future, if he went to the Great World of Living Beings to find the relics of the Three-Eyed God Clan, or if he were to be reincarnated, Lin Yun could help him.
Naturally, the stronger Lin Yun became, the more secure he felt.
"No."
Still no.
As Lin Yun led the Three-Eyed Emperor through layer after layer of heavens, Lin Yun shook his head repeatedly after sensing the conditions of each heaven.
Soon, Lin Yun brought the Three-Eyed Emperor to the First Heaven.
When he opened the spatial barrier between the first heaven and another mysterious space, a gray space with black undertones appeared before them.
This space stretched as far as the eye could see; it was their destination, the place of reincarnation in the Netherworld.
The space was gray, the earth was black, and great rivers flowed endlessly, carrying countless souls that surged and ebbed within them, heading towards a direction from which there was no end.
These rivers are the rivers of reincarnation.
When living beings perish in the world of living beings, their souls enter the Netherworld, and these rivers are the first to enter. However, some waves crashing on the shore, or some river water rushing ashore, will wash a large number of souls ashore, preventing them from falling back.
At this point, these souls can choose whether to continue into the river and flow naturally to its end to enter reincarnation, or to remain in the underworld and become ghost cultivators.
"The rivers here are dozens of times wider than before, so only a very small number of ghost cultivators can escape from these rivers..." Lin Yun's brows twitched slightly as he saw these rivers, and he said in a low voice.
"I've heard about this. Ever since you broke through the layers of new heavens, the river of the Reincarnation Land has begun to expand rapidly. As a result, many precious natural treasures have been born here, and many ghost cultivators have come here to search for them..." At this moment, the Three-Eyed Emperor spoke.
