The seconds ticked by and the only constant was the pitch-black darkness. It was not hard to imagine what would happen when the war between Dual Sovereign Pavilion and Muddled Origin Clan finally began.
Although he did not plan to join the frontline, sooner or later he would have to for the sake of contribution points. What kind of trials would he have to face at that time, he was not sure himself, the only thing he could do was to continuously improve his cultivation.
Only when he was strong enough then he would be able to protect himself in the war. Even if he were to encounter dangerous situations, with enough power, he would survive. That was why, through gritted
teeth, Fane persevered on with training even though he was both mentally and physically exhausted.
After condensing the fourth Soul Sword on the sixth day, he immediately began to condense the fifth Soul Sword. He planned to use the remaining time to complete the condensation of the fifth Soul Sword. He kept performing hand seals and the surrounding soul-shockwave continued to crash over him like a tidal wave.
Days passed and on the twelfth day, two-thirds of the fifth Soul Sword was already condensed but the same problem resurfaced as his spirit energy became unsustainable again. His spirit energy was so dried up that his true energy was running dangerously low too.
After several days of training, he constantly invoked the true energy in his body. Destroying the Void was a weapon of the soul attribute but when it came down to it, he would need to invoke his true energy too. Similarly, condensing the Soul Sword required his spirit energy to be supported by his true energy.
Over time, there was not much true energy left. Taking another soul-penetrating pill would solve the insufficient spirit energy but not the depleting true energy. Without the support of the true energy, he would not be able to condense the fifth Soul Sword with the remaining time.
After realizing this problem, Fane slowly opened his eyes, his hands never stopped performing the hand seals, but the helplessness in his heart became more and more apparent. He knew that he would run into many obstacles in the future if he did not condense the fifth Soul Sword.
Not to mention the contribution points he would have wasted. He had made a lot of enemies for himself in the Clan associations. Although Elder Sayer sent someone over to transfer the contribution points to him, it was obvious to any outsiders that Elder Sayer held a grudge against him for what he did to Wesley. He must improve his strength to deal with the troubles that may arise next.
"I can't give up now!" Fane gritted his teeth and said to himself, but doing so would not solve his problem. He only had one-twentieth of his true energy left and he estimated that it would be completely depleted within a few hours.
Then he would have no choice but to stop his training because even if he still had some spirit energy left, it would quickly dissipate without the support of true energy. He breathed out helplessly, secretly regretting that he had not thought this through beforehand. He predicted that his spirit energy would run out but he did not expect his true energy would as well.
The spirit energy could be replenished by taking the soul-penetrating pill but the true energy had no such pills. The pills he had brought over from the Cathysia World were of no use to him now. After all, his current cultivation base had already surpassed the limitation of the highest cultivation base in the Cathysia World.
The only pills that were of help to him now were the soul-penetrating pill and sengen pill. Suddenly he sat upright and his eyes widened. 'That's right! I still have the sengen pill I won from the talent test. It's a tier-five pill and considered the best amongst that tier.”
At that time, he did not listen attentively to the effects of the sengen pill. He guessed that it would probably improve the cultivation base which was more useful to the disciples at the innate level.
He took a gulp and thought to himself, 'Oh well, better than nothing!'
