I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 678: Schemes Surging, the Great Saint Returns!

Lin Yi did not show much happiness about this.

Xiyue and Ao Shu, who were unaware, were indeed dancing with joy.

Ever since Lin Yi was granted supreme power by the Martial Emperor, the status of the two skyrocketed. Whatever delicacies and rare items Xiang Wuxing had, ended up in the bellies of these two girls.

Xiyue even felt that their mission this time was basically secure.

In her and Ao Shu’s eyes, Wu Juedian’s character was quite commendable.

As long as it didn’t affect the development of Xiang Wuxing, asking for some Star Core Fragments to learn Xiang Wuxing’s unique insights, Wu Juedian would surely not refuse.

The reality was just as the two girls had anticipated.

Lin Yi gave Wu Juedian skill points, so naturally, Wu Juedian had no reason to refuse Lin Yi’s wish to learn new skills.

However, before obtaining the Star Core Fragments and learning new skills, Lin Yi had things to attend to.

The situation at Yunyuan Fortress had already been mentioned by the Martial Emperor once before.

To prevent the innocent people of Xiang Wuxing from being harmed by the Shadow Devourers, the Martial Emperor invited Lin Yi to join him in setting up a seal to ward off external enemies.

”My young friend, this matter really requires you to accomplish. This array was passed down by powerful predecessors of Xiang Wuxing. To set it up, it requires two individuals of strength comparable to mine working together.”

”My young friend, throughout the entire Xiang Wuxing, only you can help me with this. Therefore, I kindly ask you to lend a hand. The warriors of Yunyuan Fortress and the people of Xiang Wuxing will all be grateful to you.”

The sincerity in Wu Juedian’s expression was flawless, leaving Lin Yi without a chance to decline.

”Since Martial Emperor, sir, you’ve personally asked, and the task cannot proceed without me, then I, Lin Yi, have no reason to refuse.”

After receiving the array blueprint passed over by Wu Juedian and examining it, Lin Yi nodded.

The array was powerful, but it didn’t contain much profound mystery within it.

The reason the array could achieve such a powerful isolation effect must be because of the joint effort of two super experts wielding the Power of the Primordial.

Returning the blueprint, Lin Yi wasted no time, promptly departing with Wu Juedian for Yunyuan Fortress.

Calling it a fortress was indeed apt.

Towering walls rose abruptly, shielding all of Yunzhou from behind.

The walls bore dense battle scars, visible to the naked eye, marking every corner.

Like the Blue Star Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, Yunyuan Fortress maintained three unclosable one-way teleportation channels.

This planet, located in the Hungry Ghost Dao Plane, even with its strength surpassing that of Ancient Ape Star, was compelled to obediently build such a fortress around these channels.

The logistics soldiers responsible for meals busily hustled back and forth, cooking up dishes with enticing aromas that involuntarily triggered the salivary glands.

Warriors clad in armor bore solemn expressions, pacing back and forth on the walls, meticulously checking every corner on the walls, especially those shadowed areas, which they would carefully inspect with torches.

As the group led by Lin Yi arrived in the air, the patrolling soldiers were still diligently searching for traces of the enemy, completely oblivious to the figures that had appeared in the airspace.

”Heh, you sure have a big heart. Even I, your ruler, wasn’t noticed. Such careless patrolling isn’t just risking your own lives but also the lives of the families behind the walls.”

A voice like a great bell echoed throughout the sky over Yunyuan Fortress.

All the soldiers’ attention was drawn to the figures stepping on air.

”Greetings, Martial Emperor! Greetings, Martial God!”

You could say, the Martial Emperor was indeed generous.

Granting Lin Yi a status and identity equal to his own, such a move was bound to win hearts.

Lin Yi gave a slight smile, waving his hand to indicate there was no need for formalities.

However, Wu Juedian turned to get ”serious” with the soldiers.

”Who is responsible for deploying the troops today? Come and meet me immediately.”

The soldiers dreaded the reprimand that finally arrived.

Yet, Wu Juedian’s manner of reprimand was surprisingly heartwarming:

Seeing the soldiers looking dispirited, he deduced the meals were likely not up to par. As punishment for the food division of Yunyuan Fortress, they had to slaughter extra pigs and cattle today to hone their culinary skills.

An astute observer could see this was no punishment but rather an act of kindness!

Such a knack for handling human affairs was definitely worth learning.

After a military meal that was far from austere, Lin Yi and his two companions ate a simple lunch.

”My young friend Lin Yi, I wonder how our Yunyuan Fortress compares to the borders of your galaxy.”

In such an era with simplistic technology, Lin Yi had no idea what kind of defense was reliable, so he perfunctorily replied with a few sentences.

”The purpose of our visit is to arrange the array, let’s not delay and get started.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s enthusiasm, Wu Juedian was thrilled, nodding quickly.

The two flew out of the tent, their powerful aura radiating throughout Yunyuan Fortress.

Their hand seals moved rapidly, and the Source Power from their bodies, along with the Power of the Primordial, was activated simultaneously.

Soon, under the rapid chanting of their mantras, a pattern emitting a deep blue light began to grow irregularly and densely.

As they poured out their Power of Law, the patterns began to gradually complete, quickly forming a large net, enveloping Yunyuan Fortress.

Eventually, the mesh of the net thickened, intertwining until finally becoming a deep blue shield, halting its transformation.

Subsequently, Lin Yi and Wu Juedian proceeded with the final rendering, and the shield’s color began to gradually dim, until becoming completely transparent.

”Haha, it hasn’t been long, and you’ve already become this foolish?”

A familiar voice resonated in Lin Yi’s mind, stirring an overwhelming emotion of excitement within him.

”How could I possibly do something so foolish? Oh right, I’ve deactivated the defense mechanism of my personal space. Take a look, I’ve prepared quite a few goodies for you.”

”Great Saint!”

The sleeping monkey had finally awakened.

Upon waking, he immediately sensed Lin Yi’s strength.

Indeed, everything he had done was worth it.

The time gained by defeating the Calamity at all costs was indeed invaluable.

Lin Yi now masterfully wielded the Supreme Law at the Harmonization Level.

When facing the Calamity in its prime, even if not possessing certain victory, he could at least give it a tough fight without external help.

Following Lin Yi’s lead, Sun Wukong took a glance at Lin Yi’s personal space.

Inside, it was densely packed with soul cores...

”I wonder if these soul cores can help the Great Saint restore a portion of his former strength?”

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s martial soul was resource-intensive, but the benefits it brought after consuming resources were incomparable to those of ordinary martial souls.

Knowing this kid never forgot him along the way, the Great Saint’s face revealed a rare gratified expression.

”Ha, kid, do you think you can gain my full strength with just these? Way too simple, but now you should think about how to deal with that thing inside you!”
