Yun Jin was displeased. "When I cleared the Trial Tower before, you yourself said I would have a hundred years. I could comprehend as much as possible. Now, only half the time has passed, and you tell me there is nothing left to comprehend? Is this really a proper tower?"
As she spoke, she flopped down onto the ground. "Anyway, if you don't give me an explanation, I'm not moving from here."
Trial Tower: "…"
Who could have imagined,
A monster capable of reaching this level in just fifty years?
Who could have guessed, this monster would be shameless enough to act like this?
Even the mechanical voice of the Trial Tower carried a hint of helplessness.
[The Yin-Yang Codex is too profound. These insights are the limit this stage of the Trial Tower can provide.]
No matter how much Yun Jin rolled and threw a tantrum, it could do nothing.
Yun Jin understood, sat up with a roll, and said, "There are still fifty years left. You can't just say there's nothing more to comprehend."
The Trial Tower paused. [Trial Cultivator, please state your request directly.]
It had resigned itself. Previously, it had given rewards without leaving room for negotiation. Now that Yun Jin had found a loophole, there was nothing it could do.
Yun Jin's eyes shifted as she began to think.
Regarding the Yin-Yang Codex, her current accumulation was enough to break into the second layer. To continue improving, she would need more experience or learn through repeated combat. Continuing to meditate here might yield nothing further. Even a thousand more years might not bring a breakthrough.
Using the Trial Tower to improve another technique?
She did not see the need.
Apart from the Yin-Yang Codex, no other technique was worth the Tower's help.
Currently, she cultivated two main manual.
One was the Mystic Codex, her primary spiritual power method. Improving it was simple for Yun Jin. She only needed a large number of pills imbued with spiritual power.
The second was the Yin-Yang Codex. Being a combat technique, Yun Jin estimated she would rarely need other techniques in future battles.
Other manual had no need for improvement.
After some thought, Yun Jin said, "I have fifty years left. I want to store these fifty years in the Trial Tower. When I next need to cultivate, I will reopen this space. How does that sound?"
One hundred years in this space equated to only a month outside. Fifty years in this space passed while only half a month elapsed in the outside world. It was essentially a super-enhanced time chamber. Even if it had no other function, this fifty-year span alone was invaluable to Yun Jin.
She could train outside first, then enter the insight space again once she had new realizations. This way, gains were maximized.
Yun Jin made her request.
The Trial Tower hesitated.
Technically, there was no precedent.
Of course, there had never been a monster like Yun Jin before.
"Having trouble? Come on, let's talk about it. It's only fifty years, and you said I could comprehend…" Yun Jin flopped down again.
Then, a mechanical voice sounded: [Approved].
Oh?
Should have said yes sooner.
Yun Jin was about to sit up, only to realize the next moment she had already appeared outside the Trial Tower.
Yun Jin: "???"
She had been ejected?
She muttered in complaint, "This is a completely reasonable request. How can the Trial Tower be so stingy?"
Fortunately, a prompt quickly appeared, explaining that to activate the fifty-year time flow again, she only needed to enter the Tower and recite it in her mind.
Yun Jin finally relaxed.
No matter what,
It had agreed.
"Sect Master."
Outside the Trial Tower!
Seeing Yun Jin suddenly appear on the ground, the disciples of Wushuang Sect were shocked.
The Sect Master…
What happened to her?
Other disciples looked over, all bewildered. Half a month had passed. When Yun Jin entered, her hair had been black. Now it was completely white. What had happened to the Sect Master in the Trial Tower?
Noticing their expressions, Yun Jin conjured a water screen to examine her appearance.
Fifty years of meditation. Her hair had turned entirely white. Yun Jin scrutinized her reflection from every angle.
The Wushuang Sect disciples were worried. Black hair had turned white. The Sect Master must be upset, yet they did not understand what had happened. They did not know how to comfort her.
Seeing Yun Jin staring at the water screen for so long without speaking, Their anxiety deepened. What kind of event had befallen the Sect Master?
"Sect Master, actually…" one disciple carefully tried to speak.
"Actually what?" Yun Jin withdrew the water screen, her expression beaming. "Do you think my new look is particularly mysterious and cool?"
Yun Jin was almost satisfied to death. Her hair had turned white from comprehending the Yin-Yang Codex. She tried briefly, but ordinary methods could not restore it to black.
To regain black hair, she would have to reach the third layer of the Yin-Yang Codex. Once she fully mastered the art of Yin-Yang exchange, she could make her hair black or white at will.
Yun Jin was clearly delighted with her new look, and the disciples blinked before nodding repeatedly.
"Yes, it is truly unique."
"This hair befits our Sect Master perfectly."
"This white hair makes the Sect Master appear even more wise and formidable."
Yun Jin listened to the rainbow praise and nodded approvingly.
"Very good. Everyone really was learning to speak well."
"Half a month has passed. How is progress in Sky City?" Yun Jin asked.
A Wushuang Sect disciple hurriedly replied, "The Nascent Soul battles have ended. We secured first place."
Yun Jin nodded, a natural expression. The disciple only reported the result, showing no pride. With such advantageous conditions, failing to take first would be shameful.
"What about the Divine Transformation battles? They are ongoing, already at the individual stage," the disciple continued. "Senior Elder Hong Ye leads the viewing in Sky City."
Yun Jin nodded in acknowledgment.
"You focus on your duties. I'll go check out the scene," Yun Jin said.
She mainly felt,
Having a new look, she had to show it off.
Yun Jin sent a message to Hong Ye, then went directly to Sky City. Most disciples had gathered in the central plaza of the main city. When Yun Jin arrived, no one noticed immediately.
She strolled slowly toward the plaza.
After a few steps,
A soft sound echoed in her mind.
This voice…
Yun Jin responded respectfully, "Zi Mo Xiāndì, do you have any instructions?"
