478: Lying down mode: Strength increases 10 times every 10 years!

Dudu's energy absorption rate was about what Yang Dian expected.

It took her over three months to absorb 203 million energy, and the feedback starlight energy allowed Yang Dian to complete four Physique sublimations.

The Heaven and Man Unity Skill, which previously required 25 million energy to advance, now only needs 1.5625 million energy, a mere 6.25% of the original cost.

In addition, over 90 days, the energy self-absorbed by his talent also reached over 9 million.

This increased Yang Dian's energy, which should have dropped to 150.75 million, to 160.35 million.

'The additional 9 million-plus energy is equivalent to having consumed over ten thousand heaven and earth treasures for free, roughly six or seven heaven and earth treasures per hour.'

'Just the energy gained during these days would allow me to Cultivate from scratch to be even stronger than I am now...'

'Indeed, the strong getting stronger is an eternal truth.'

'The speed at which I grow stronger with every breath requires ordinary people to catch up over years and months.'

As he pondered, Dudu burped, stretched her tentacles with a hint of satisfaction, and then rubbed Yang Dian's cheek with a tentacle.

"Are you going to start evolving?"

"Do you need to sleep for a long time?"

Perceiving the information from Dudu, Yang Dian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Having followed Yang Dian for over two years, Dudu had devoured more than 205 million energy in total.

If this amount of energy were given to ordinary people whose Physique had not been sublimated, it could Cultivate roughly two Star Dome Realm powerhouses.

Having consumed so much energy, Dudu's evolution was only to be expected.

As he sensed Dudu's consciousness gradually falling silent, a hint of anticipation arose in Yang Dian's heart:

"I wonder what abilities this little one will evolve."

After the anticipation, he refocused his attention on himself.

First, he opened the panel.

After glancing at the panel, Yang Dian looked around again, then turned to Mother Dragon Fina.

The Mother Dragon had been so confident before, saying that next time she teleported, she could perfectly send Yang Dian to his desired location.

But in reality?

She opened the wrong door again.

Yang Dian wanted her to send him back to his home courtyard.

However, the spatial passage's landing point was actually on a boundless sea.

The Mother Dragon, who had been hovering nearby playing dead, saw Yang Dian's gaze fall upon her and instinctively flapped her wings:

"My Lord, please give me another chance."

"Next time, I definitely won't make a mistake."

Yang Dian waved his hand.

Just as the Mother Dragon fell into despair, afraid Yang Dian would say something like 'be careful in your next life,' she heard Yang Dian say casually:

"It's normal to make mistakes when you're unfamiliar with the Earth's environment."

"Practice your spatial teleportation ability around here, and be careful next time."

The Mother Dragon, who had been cowering with her eyes tightly shut, treating herself like a quail, opened one eye to look at Yang Dian.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, her eyes sparkled again:

"Thank you for your Lord's leniency. I will definitely work hard."

After Yang Dian nodded slightly, he flew a distance into the sky.

After confirming that the Mother Dragon hadn't deviated too far this time, and their current location was approximately 50 kilometers off the Fuzhou coastline, he casually found a small island reef exposed above the sea and pondered his next advancement direction.

"Heaven and Man Unity Skill is definitely the main Cultivation method."

"After advancing the Heaven and Man Unity Skill twice, I'll still have 143.17 million energy left."

"This energy can be used to advance Dragon Claw Hand three times and Star Gazing Art twice, or Star Gazing Art three times and Dragon Claw Hand twice."

"Which Martial Arts should I advance?"

As he pondered, Yang Dian noticed the remaining energy.

"To advance the Heaven and Man Unity Skill three times, I'm short 13 million energy."

"13 million energy..."

As he thought, Yang Dian's eyes gradually lit up.

He also needed time to absorb energy and increase his strength.

Reality wasn't a game; it wasn't a matter of simply clicking a '+' sign next to a Martial Arts skill to instantly boost his strength.

It would take him roughly three to five months to effectively utilize the 160 million energy.

And in three to five months, his talent could coincidentally absorb around ten million energy.

"A closed loop!"

"In four to less than five months, I can grind out the last three trait entries of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill!"

As for Dragon Claw Hand and Star Gazing Art?

There's enough time.

He can now gain 100,000 energy daily, and advancing Dragon Claw Hand and Star Gazing Art once each would only cost a total of just over 1.8 million energy.

At most, he'd just have to wait an extra 18 days.

Moreover, the Heaven and Man Unity Skill has a trait called [Innate Body].

Within [Innate Body] is a trait called [Innate Qi].

And one of the effects of Innate Qi is that it can be used to enhance Soul strength!

After advancing the Heaven and Man Unity Skill three times, Yang Dian would be able to generate 555,500 wisps of Innate Qi each month.

If all of it were used to enhance Soul strength, he could increase his Soul strength by 5,555 points.

What does that mean?

After advancing the Heaven and Man Unity Skill three times, Yang Dian's Soul strength could increase by 5,555 points every month, meaning that every month, the energy his talent could extract daily would increase by 5,555 points.

In just one year, his Soul strength could increase to 166,660 points, allowing him to gain 166,660 points of energy daily.

"It seems to be getting more and more absurd."

"Even if I do nothing, in 10 years, my Soul strength will increase to 766,600 points, and I'll gain 766,600 points of energy daily?"

"That's roughly equivalent to eating one heaven and earth treasure every minute?"

"766,600 energy per day, that's 279.8 million energy per year."

"Uh, according to this calculation, even if I do nothing for the next 10 years, I could still gain about 1.56987 billion energy."

"Just enough to meet the requirements for advancing the Heaven and Man Unity Skill a fourth time."

"After advancing the Heaven and Man Unity Skill a fourth time, the Innate Qi generated each month will increase tenfold again, adding 55,550 Soul strength each month, and the daily energy gained will increase by 55,550 each month."

"It would also take about 10 years to accumulate enough energy to advance the Heaven and Man Unity Skill again?"

"Is it really a closed loop?"

"Even if I do nothing, entering 'lie flat' mode, I can still add one Heaven and Man Unity Skill trait every 10 years?"
