There was something else that Arch-Elder Zen was ignorant of; the amount of stellular energy that Lu Yin possessed far exceeded everyone’s understanding because Lu Yin had four stellular energy vortices.

This reminder instantly gave Lu Yin a headache. It might not be necessary for him to saturate all four of his vortices to reach his next breakthrough. However, extrapolating from the amount of star energy that he had possessed as an Enlighter suggested that Lu Yin had to absorb as much stellular energy as 200 average Envoys for a single vortex.

This meant that, in the best case scenario, he would have to cultivate for as long as 200 average Envoys combined. This was also cultivating by absorbing stellular energy, not star energy. Just thinking about it was enough to scare Lu Yin senseless.

He had initially been very proud of forming four stellular vortices, as they provided him with stellular energy reserves that far exceeded that of any other Envoy at a comparable power level. But this new revelation left Lu Yin covered with chills from head to toe.
