Having broken through to the second layer of the Profound Control Realm, Shelly now provided Zhao Changhe with an even greater boost when they went through the process of dual cultivation.0

The absorption of energy followed a certain efficiency. Back in Tngri’s secret realm, the faith energy had been so thick and abundant that even Tngri himself had been unable to fully digest it after a long period. The tragedy of his existence lay in a peculiar quirk—since the people of the Grasslands worshipped “the heavenly gods” rather than “the Heavenly God[1],” the majority of the faith energy gathered in this secret realm that belonged to all tngri rather than directly benefiting Tngri. As a result, he had to absorb it through an indirect process. This caused his recovery to be significantly slower than the Sea Emperor’s, and left an excess of accumulated energy in the realm.0

Dual cultivation greatly enhanced the efficiency of energy absorption and circulation. However, despite Zhao Changhe engaging in dual cultivation with Yue Hongling, Huangfu Qing, and Lady Three in succession within this place, not even half of the stored energy had been consumed. After all, only a few days had passed.0

Now, with Lady Three having reached the second layer of the Profound Control Realm, her… guidance exponentially increased the efficiency of absorption.0

The shamans and guards stationed outside the temple were horrified to feel an external pull. It was as if even the surrounding energy was being siphoned away in a spiraling force. They could almost sense the raging energy within the secret realm. These shamans who had previously attuned themselves to Tngri’s energy circulation were utterly shaken. This level of violent energy movement was beyond comprehension.0

No wonder the Heavenly God had perished at their hands… If even a fraction of this energy vortex were to spill into the outside world, it might ravage a thousand li. How are they able to withstand such a force within?0

If the shamans discovered the method through...0
