Chapter 1325: The Increasingly Abnormal Sumeru Net (First Update, seeking votes)

After the Gate of Light and Darkness advanced further, Li Zhangsheng tested the effect of purifying the Abyss Consciousness.

Li Zhangsheng had sealed quite a bit of Abyss Consciousness within the Gate of Light and Darkness; if it were before, it would have likely lasted for two or three months.

After this experiment, Li Zhangsheng was ecstatic to discover that the purification speed of the Gate of Light and Darkness had surged by roughly two times; the amount of Abyss Consciousness that would have lasted two or three months would likely not even last a month now.

Originally, he thought he would be satisfied with a one-fold increase, but he did not expect it to be two-fold, which clearly exceeded his expectations.

In this way, the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi and World Power obtained within a certain period would be much faster.

"Perhaps it is because both the Gate of Heaven and the Hell Gate have become Langhuan Supreme Treasures? Or perhaps the gap between a Low-Grade Langhuan Supreme Treasure and a Superior Langhuan Supreme Treasure is greater than I imagined."

Li Zhangsheng could not hide the excitement in his heart; he felt that both factors were involved.

As for the suppression of personal fortune by a Merit Spirit Treasure, Li Zhangsheng could not see fortune, so he could only vaguely sense it.

With the Gate of Light and Darkness suppressing his fortune, the rate of Li Zhangsheng's fortune loss became negligible.

The only pity was that it could only suppress personal fortune, unlike a Merit Supreme Treasure which could suppress the fortune of a nation or a sect.

There is no need to mention the other functions; due to it being a Merit Spirit Treasure, the Gate of Light and Darkness had also become an Evil Bane. Ordinary evil creatures like Heavenly Demons, demons, devils, and undead would likely be reduced to ashes the moment they approached the Gate of Light and Darkness, and even powerful ones would suffer significant weakening.

"It will be easier to deal with demons in the future, but I wonder how Bizhen is doing?"

Li Zhangsheng secretly thought to himself. Before coming to look for the Secret Realms of the Feather King and the Disaster King, he had incidentally given the coordinates of Yi Wang's Secret Realm to Ning Bizhen, hoping that Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm could quickly become a Blessed Land.

After retracting the Gate of Light and Darkness, Li Zhangsheng rode the Chi Dragon and returned to the Dawn World—Underdark—capital of the Yasi City-State.

Ning Bizhen had returned a step before him; after shattering the void, she rode the Two-Legged Golden Crow to find Yi Wang's Secret Realm.

"Bizhen, how was the harvest?"

"There were no Top-Grade Spirit Roots, but my Secret Realm still advanced to a Blessed Land." Ning Bizhen paused, then took the Sumeru Net from her Consciousness Sea and continued: "Also, thanks to you, my Sumeru Net has also advanced to the Zifu Qizhen level."

A smile was on Ning Bizhen's face. The reason her Sumeru Net was able to reach the Zifu Qizhen level was mainly because Li Zhangsheng had given her the damaged shield of the Wuxiang King, which was integrated into the Sumeru Net during the advancement process.

After integrating the Wuxiang King's shield and advancing, the functions of the Sumeru Net underwent some changes.

Sumeru Net: Zifu Qizhen, possesses the effect of sealing the heavens and locking the earth, including space, and possesses binding and automatic recovery effects. Every year, it produces one Sumeru Treasure Bead. Note: Cannot be damaged unless by a Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

Following Ning Bizhen's explanation, Li Zhangsheng had a brand-new understanding of the Sumeru Net.

Compared to before the advancement, the sealing effect of the Sumeru Net was greatly enhanced, and the Sumeru Treasure Bead, which originally took three years to be produced, now took one year.

Additionally, the Sumeru Net gained binding and automatic recovery effects.

Both are easy to understand; if a Demon Pet or a person falls into the binding state, they can hardly dodge before breaking free. There is no need to mention automatic recovery; even if damaged, it will gradually recover until it is complete.

Li Zhangsheng possessed many Strange Treasures, but he did not have a single one with an automatic recovery effect. This effect was unusually strong, and paired with the note that it cannot be damaged unless by a Langhuan Supreme Treasure, he would almost never have to worry about the Sumeru Net being damaged when encountering strong enemies in the future.

Even for a Langhuan Supreme Treasure-level Strange Treasure, it would take a certain amount of time to completely destroy the Sumeru Net.

"Let's go to your Secret Realm first!"

Living together day and night, feelings had grown over time; how could Li Zhangsheng not know Ning Bizhen's personality of reporting only the good news and not the bad.

In Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm, there was only one Top-Grade Spirit Root, the Water Shadow Light-Splitting Tree. If nothing went wrong, her Secret Realm would absolutely not be stable after advancing to a Blessed Land.

To stabilize a Secret Realm in a short time, the best way was to get a few more Top-Grade Spirit Roots.

Ning Bizhen hesitated slightly, then immediately opened the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Her Secret Realm was a Shui Shijie, but it had quite a few islands, and the main island located in the central area occupied 1/5 of the entire Secret Realm's area.

After entering Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm, it was as Li Zhangsheng expected: her Secret Realm was very unstable, and from time to time, one could feel slight tremors, and cracks had even appeared in some places.

If this continued, Ning Bizhen would likely need to spend a great deal of energy to repair the Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng did not speak; his Secret Realm entrance appeared. He possessed the highest Authority in Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm and could easily open a Secret Realm entrance within hers.

Soon, the Yi Wood Azure Dragon Tree, the Golden Crow Crying Blood Wood, and the Snow Soul Ice Crystal Tree emerged from the Secret Realm entrance, and along with them was the team of Spirit Planters led by Xiaoguai.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng send three Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots in one go, Ning Bizhen was surprised and hurriedly advised: "Zhangsheng, one is enough, there's no need for so many."

"You don't need to persuade me, I have plenty more on my side, the point is that the Central Medicine Garden is almost full."

Li Zhangsheng was telling the truth; the area of the Central Medicine Garden was only so large, and Top-Grade Spirit Roots were often very large. After accommodating more than a dozen Top-Grade Spirit Roots, there was simply no empty space left.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng could move the extra Top-Grade Spirit Roots to other Medicine Gardens, but the effect would definitely be far inferior to the Central Medicine Garden. Furthermore, as the Fusang Tree grew, the stability added to the Secret Realm by Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots became negligible.

Rather than that, it was better to place them in Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm; not only could it allow her Secret Realm to stabilize quickly, but it could also allow her Secret Realm to advance to a Grotto-Heaven faster.

Ning Bizhen did not persuade him further and directly used the Secret Realm Master's Authority, causing three bottomless pits to appear on the main island to accommodate the three Top-Grade Spirit Roots.

Soon, the Spirit Planters completed their task and returned to Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm.

The moment they took root, the three Top-Grade Spirit Roots quickly exerted their effects, and a large amount of Wood Element, Fire Element, and Water Attribute energy surged into Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm.

Originally, Water Attribute energy occupied a large proportion in Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm, but now it finally changed, and the proportion occupied by Water Attribute energy was constantly decreasing.

At the same time, Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm began to become stable. The cracks that were originally constantly increasing stopped increasing, and the existing cracks were also gradually closing. He believed that after a period of time, it would be completely stabilized.

Li Zhangsheng did not stay long; he still had some things to do, such as occupying the Dark Night Empire and unifying the Underdark.

As long as the Underdark was unified, not only could more resources be obtained, but the Nether Night Church in the Underdark could also be severely damaged.
