Inside the Divine Temple.
Ian Song sat cross-legged in the training chamber, quietly tempering his immortal yuan force. Meanwhile, time inside the Divine Temple flowed at a thousandfold speed.
He had just broken through to the Fusion realm, but his cultivation was still unstable, so he couldn't unleash his full power. That was why he didn't immediately go looking for trouble with the Prime One Church—he needed to be thoroughly prepared.
For example, he needed to accumulate enough energy to unleash the Ninth Change of Nine Stellar Transformations, his divine technique.
Fortunately, he had the Divine Temple as his cheat device—otherwise, he really wouldn't have enough time to build up energy for the Ninth Change.
Half a year flashed by, and Ian's cultivation fully stabilized.
“I still have nine and a half years left—what should I do?”
Feeling a bit troubled, Ian thought for a while and came up with an idea: he pulled out a mountain of spirit medicines from his Storage Ring and began refining pills.
The spirit medicines in his Storage Ring were piled up like mountains. If an ordinary alchemist tried to refine all these into pills, it would take centuries—but with Ian's Pill Condensation Technique, his speed was absurdly fast.
So in just a single year, he finished refining all the spirit medicines into pills.
“Damn, I still have eight and a half years left. How am I supposed to kill all this time?”
Suddenly, an idea struck Ian—he remembered the Five-Flag Array Set he hadn't used in ages. He'd looted these five flags from a Prime One Church Fusion expert, and each one contained nine restriction layers.
Up to now, he'd only broken three restriction layers, but even so, the set was already strong enough to trap Fusion experts.
If he could break the fourth restriction layer, maybe he could even trap Tribulation experts.
Right now, he could sweep through ordinary Tribulation experts, but those old monsters had lived countless years and always had life-saving tricks. If they couldn't beat him, they might escape, and he wouldn't be able to stop them. But if he sealed the void with the Five-Flag Array Set during a fight, they wouldn't even have a chance to run.
So, Ian pulled out every book on restriction arts and formations from the Divine Temple's Library Pavilion, intending to study them all one by one.
All these books had been collected by the Star King, so naturally, they were extraordinary.
With plenty of time, Ian studied extremely diligently. In just a year, his mastery of restriction arts improved dramatically.
But he didn't rush to break the restrictions inside the Five-Flag Array Set. Instead, he kept studying.
When you're immersed in something, time flies by especially fast.
