Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699

Although the two sisters could already feel some barriers, due to Du You’s influence, these barriers were not too obstructive, often appearing briefly before disappearing quickly.

However, the feeling was not false. Du You finally understood why some people were unable to make any progress after reaching a certain level—it was because of such barriers. When the obstacle becomes great enough, progress becomes impossible.

That feeling would probably be incredibly despairing. Getting used to rapid advancement, and then suddenly stagnating, would be quite unsettling. Well, Du You merely felt a bit emotional and did not consider it too deeply.

The time to digest resources was longer than the time Du You spent collecting them. The resources originally collected over a year now took three years to fully digest. Indeed, Du You had already spent three years in closed-door cultivation at this place. Within these three years, the three individuals, along with the bubble, had almost consumed all the resources collected this time.

Aside from the portion left for others, not much was left.

However, what frustrated Du You was that Xi Qianxue and the others still hadn’t emerged from cultivation; their absorption of Law Crystals was even slower, often getting stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. Although they could break through, the overall time taken increased.

Additionally, during this digestion process, Xi Qianxue and the others could only manage to rise by one level, reaching level 62. This pace might be what is considered normal. No, this pace was considered genius-level speed. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net

Du You’s pace, however, was truly abnormal. After getting up and moving a bit, Du You said to the two sisters: "Let’s advance ourselves first. Coming up, we have enough Crystal Coins; let’s see how many levels we can rise."

After resting a while, Du You and the two sisters began their advancement again, but this time, it went faster.

Simply absorbing Crystal Coins and increasing levels was all there was to it. They had plenty of gold Crystal Coins, and even after reaching their limit, many were still left. In reality, it proved that they had indeed gained a lot.

Because Du You and the two sisters advanced to level 73, they finally felt unable to continue advancing.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely impossible; if they wished, they could forcibly advance one more level. But Du You felt that despite his deep Origin of Law, his height still reached only the peak of level 73, with a certain gap to the mid-tier of eight, thus he decided to wait for a bit.

After adapting to their own powers, Du You set out again with the two sisters.

They looked for a suitable place and continued to gather resources. Unfortunately, the previous situation didn’t recur, making resource collection difficult. Occasionally, Du You got in touch with Li Minglu and Shaliya.

He confirmed their status, and by reporting his safety, they felt a bit more at ease.

At times, Du You would even open a space passage temporarily to send some spoils back. These things indeed facilitated the development of Du You’s company, ensuring smooth sailing all the way.

Which other tier eight, like Du You, would still think about providing spoils to his followers? At their level, followers held no significance, offering no assistance.

Remember and ask sometimes, forget at other times; such is normal.

In the following three years, Du You continuously gathered resources here. Yet, the resources amassed in these three years were less than half of those collected in one year previously. Despite Du You’s enhanced power and continuous targeting of dangerous objectives, the collection speed did not meet Du You’s expectations.

Accustomed to rapid advancement, Du You found this pace extremely unsatisfying.

And on the journey, through battles with others, his understanding and assimilation of the Laws helped Du You and the two sisters finally break through the line before them, achieving the standards of mid-tier eight.

Afterwards, Du You and the two sisters advanced to level 74. Progressing from just entering tier eight to mid-tier eight within a few years was indeed remarkable.

With their current power, if they encountered the Yinying King again, Du You believed he could slap him into submission.

If they returned this time and that guy dared trouble them again, Du You would make sure they saw his strength clearly. Within tier eight, he was no longer weak.

On Earth, they were likely prominent figures. With the two sisters and bubble, along with numerous Summoned Beasts, they might even handle late-tier eight individuals face to face.

And late-tier eight individuals were rare on Earth; Du You figured they wouldn’t provoke them.

He decided to keep a low profile. Du You continued seeking resources, aiming to advance to late-tier eight in this world. Then, returning to Earth, he wouldn’t worry anymore.

Once reaching late-tier eight, he planned to bring everyone back to rest—that was Du You’s agenda.

Moreover, during this time, Xi Qianxue and the others finally broke through, successfully appearing at level 62. Having reached another level so quickly, everyone was thrilled.

But when they learned of Du You’s current power, their excitement turned to gloom.

In everything, comparison is dreaded; it was exactly the situation now. "Hmph, we must work harder; we can’t let them pull too far away." Now, they weren’t aiming to catch up to Du You anymore but not wanting to trail too far behind.

They all felt how Du You’s advancement speed was simply unparalleled.

Even though Elsa’s talent was higher than the two others, compared to Du You, there was still a considerable gap.

While everyone was collecting resources, suddenly, instructions came from Earth. Such direct instructions were rare, especially for someone at tier eight like Du You.

"A forced mission, such a thing exists. What, you got one too?"

Li Mengyao was even more shocked when she learned Du You received a mission; directly contacting tier eight, the situation was indeed extraordinary. "Seems this mission is extremely dangerous."

"It’s definitely significant; your data might be incomplete. No way, you guys go back first; I’ll handle your part of the mission." Du You frowned.

"No way, how could we leave during danger."

"Yes, what Elsa said was right; we should fight side by side. Although our power is insufficient, this is a reconnaissance mission; we can still help. Besides, we’d back off when facing danger."
