CH 35

Taking the Nutrition Pill was really a good thing, but the period of ‘seclusion’ was too short, thus making the difficulty of forming the Golden Core much lower than Yan Jia had imagined. Before he could fully understand the use of the Nutrition Pill, he had already successfully formed the Golden Core.

The Pill he had prepared in advance did not have much use, but now that Yan Jia had stayed in the ‘library’ for more than ten days, he had finally discovered the true use of the Nutrition Pill.

Not only could it prevent people from feeling thirsty and hungry while they were in seclusion, but it could also save them the time they would normally spend in the bathroom.

The key was that as one directly reduced the time spent on eating, they would automatically increase the time spent on studying and greatly increase learning efficiency.

Compared to eating in the canteen, it was more suitable for Yan Jia to take the Nutrition Pill.

Although Yan Jia still did not know how many years this blue Golden Core that gave birth to a star in his body could increase his lifespan, thinking about it, the Golden Core that gave birth to the Golden Crow could at most increase a cultivator’s lifespan by more than 50 years.

Even if the lifespan of the star that was born by the Golden Core could greatly exceed the Golden Core that nurtured the Golden Crow, it shouldn’t exceed 200 years, right?

Perhaps, the lifespan of the star could not be compared to the Golden Crow’s Golden Core.

Yan Jia didn’t think about the good things in the past. Instead, he was wondering what would happen if the increase in the lifespan exceeded six hundred years.

Wouldn’t that be an advantage?

Yan Jia laughed self-deprecatingly. If he placed his hopes on the life expectancy that had been increased by the Golden Core for who knew- how many years?, he might as well have chosen the Golden Crow Avatar from the start. There was no need to worry about all these.

To Yan Jia, the Golden Core that nurtured a star should be a little stronger than the Golden Crow that was being nurtured. At the very least, it shouldn’t be inferior to a Golden Crow, right?

One hundred and fifty years was the time Yan Jia set for himself. After all, it wasn’t a wise decision to place all of his hopes on something that he wasn’t certain of.

Even though he had only spent sixteen years out of the one hundred and fifty years,  Yan Jia still considered the possibility that his learning efficiency might fall even further as he aged.

As he pondered, the book in Yan Jia’s hand unknowingly fell on the table. Fortunately, this was only Yan Jia’s unconscious action and did not make too much noise. If he were chased out of the “library” because of this, he would be in true despair.

It always felt like he was committing suicide.

To use one’s own life span of possibly less than 150 years and at least 600 years, and perhaps even longer periods of time, to engage in a race with no turning back, no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit hopeless.

Yan Jia thought to himself.

In order to increase his chances of winning this race even by a little, he had to bear the pain and give up his hobby of eating delicious food. He completely threw himself into the embrace of the Nutrition Pill.

In the future., he might be able to live on only the Nutrition Pill. As he pondered, Yan Jia took out a Pill and swallowed it.

He then continued to read the book in his hand.

It was a travel book that talked about a few hundred years ago when a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy left the Academy and toured the entire Shanhai World with a few close friends.

It described how they had not toured the entire Shanhai World but had learned a lot during their journey. The main character also formed a bond with one of his childhood friends, who had always been by his side. Finally, before he died, he succeeded in ‘carrying’ the Avatar, allowing him to live a new life.

He could barely be considered a winner in his life.

The name of the main character of this book was not important; neither was what he learned during the trip. According to the book, he had a few childhood sweethearts, so it was not important who he ended up with in the end.

What was important was that his encounters were not just one but many.

On the table in front of Yan Jia, there were not only books on Golden Core and Avatar. In fact, there were all kinds of travel notes and introductions of the various Demiplane occupying more of the chassis.

These books piled high on the table introduced Yan Jia to people in the Shanhai World. The book portrayed their experiences from the moment they stepped out of the gates of the Academ.These characters experienced friendship and betrayal and finally obtained the story of success.

Among these “main characters,” there were some from the Heavenly Dao Academy, some from the Heaven Crafting Academy, and some from the Golden Crow Academy. There were even some people who came out of the small Academy that were not as good as these top-grade Academies.

These people were born differently, had different talents, and had different starting points during their travels. Their directions were different, and their destination was also different. The various risks and harvests they encountered during their travels were also different. The only similarity was that they had all been to one place – Zhenkong Demiplane.

The main characters of these books were different. In Yan Jia’s eyes, some of them could barely be considered geniuses. Many of them, according to Yan Jia, actually had a very low chance of “carrying” the Avatar before they died.

Surprisingly, in the end, they all succeeded. What was placed in front of Yan Jia now was only a small portion of the ‘main characters” adventures. Perhaps there were even more people who had the same experiences as them. It was just that those experiences had not been recorded.

This was very unusual.

Yan Jia didn’t know if there was anyone who could link this to the travel records. He thought that there should be some, but it was a little strange for these travel records to be placed here so openly.

So, in the end, was it because this Zhenkong Demiplane had no effect that these books that recorded the experiences of the “main characters” were placed here. Or could it be that this Zhenkong Demiplane really had an effect?

If the former was the case, then was the encounter of the ‘main characters’ in these travels just a coincidence?

But if it was the latter, this Zhenkong Demiplane really had the effect of making a person who originally could not cultivate the Avatar ‘bear’ the Avatar. Then why were these books that recorded precious secrets simply placed here?

What was the reason?

The current situation was too trivial, but Yan Jia was too disoriented to figure out anything. However, he was definitely going to Zhenkong Demiplane.

After all, those six hundred years were like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head all the time, making him feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, like a thorn on his back.

It was as if it would fall at any time, and this made Yan Jia afraid.

What if it was because he was lacking in his learning efficiency, or because he had been lazy? What if it was just because he wasted the little time he had studying and cultivating that he was so short of success before his lifespan ended?

How bad would that turn out for him?

Therefore, he was determined to go to Zhenkong Demiplane.
