The one truly commendable thing about this Spiritual Object was its astonishing effect.
After consuming the Emperor Insect Juice, Lü Zhong was pleasantly surprised to find that the once awkward and arduous fusion process now felt as if it had been lubricated. The integration of his Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit was still challenging, but its difficulty had dropped by several orders of magnitude. This translated into a drastic reduction in the time needed to break through his bottleneck.
He made a simple estimate: if he focused all his efforts on refining it, it would probably take him less than fifty years to complete the initial fusion of his Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit.
'A twenty-fold difference!'
Lü Zhong was astonished.
But then he remembered that he had obtained this benefit only by razing a Forbidden Land, and it no longer seemed so strange. The massive reward had come with a massive risk.
