Chapter 907: 235. Advancement to Mortality-Shedding!

Fang Ze’s reasoning wasn’t far-fetched, for he had long considered and planned for this possibility.

The Yang Transformation stage consists of three sub-levels: Flawlessness, True Form, and Spiritual Essence.

The Flawlessness stage is where practitioners of the Yang Transformation meticulously perfect their minds to achieve complete Perfection.

After personally braving danger to meet He Weidao two days ago, and witnessing Old Mr. Bai’s Sword-Hiding Skills today, Fang Ze successfully broke through this sub-level.

Next, the True Form stage requires the Awakener, after achieving Perfection of mind, to search within and manifest a unique semblance of their Dharma Aspect.

Having just formed the Dharma Aspect semblance, Fang Ze had only just broken through to this stage.

Thus, he only had one sub-level left in the Yang Transformation stage, the most time-consuming one: Spiritual Essence.

The Spiritual Essence stage requires the Awakener to consistently nurture their Dharma Aspect with Mind Power, gradually cultivating it to become a formidable force that can manifest externally.

Therefore, for Fang Ze, he only needed to confirm if a high-interest loan could affect Mind Power, whether it could enhance it, and what the cost would be, and that would suffice.

With this in mind, Fang Ze hesitated no longer.

He glanced up at the battlefield where the Demigod combat presence still stood firmly, cloaked in darkness, before turning to leave the city tower.

This place was extremely precious, and he had absorbed less than a tenth of it. He intended to return frequently to comprehend the battles of the two Demigods.

After leaving the city wall, Fang Ze happened to encounter Qing Ya and several others coming down from the city tower.

Though they couldn’t speak in this military stronghold, their joyous expressions revealed they had gained much.

And Qing Ya, possibly due to her association with Fang Ze being revealed, had become the center of attention, walking in the middle and supporting the elderly woman.

Yet, Qing Ya’s face bore no expression, as if it all had nothing to do with her.

She had such a serene nature,

Fang Ze gave Qing Ya a long look, then left the city tower and departed Congyun City, heading directly to the outskirts.

What Fang Ze was about to do next might cause quite a stir.

Upon reaching the outskirts, Fang Ze entered the Spirit Realm and used the Saving the Chariot ability to summon a squad of Shadow Warriors, directing Mei to have them stand guard around him.

Then, he sat cross-legged, waved his hand, and a small bell appeared in his right palm as he began to test the impact of the High-Interest Loan ability on his Dharma Aspect.

"High-Interest Loan, borrow 10 days of Mind Power to nurture my Dharma Aspect."

As Fang Ze activated the ability, a snow-white rabbit appeared out of thin air before him.

Its crimson eyes fixed on Fang Ze, speaking in a mechanical voice, "Borrowing successful."

As it finished speaking, it exploded into a white light that fell onto the golden small bell in Fang Ze’s hand.

Visibly..... the small bell showed no change.

Even Fang Ze, who was spiritually connected to it, felt no different.

"Failed?"

Just as Fang Ze had this thought, a bill appeared before him: 100,000 Lini.

Seeing the debt, Fang Ze confirmed that he should have succeeded.

However.... 100,000 Lini, at 10,000 Lini a day, was shockingly expensive!

Fang Ze thought to himself that the cost of conjuring Mind Power from nothing was indeed steep, as he attempted again, "High-Interest Loan! Borrow 100 days of Mind Power to nurture my Dharma Aspect."

This time, accompanied by a white light, Fang Ze finally perceived a change.

In the white light, the body of the small bell in Fang Ze’s hand became more substantial, and the once bare bell surface now had fine patterns etched on it.

Nevertheless, it was still far from being usable.

In the blink of an eye, he accrued a debt of 10,100,000 Lini, leaving Fang Ze in agony over the expense.

But in this world where strength decides everything, money could be earned again, but without strength, even money would slip away.

So, though it pained him, Fang Ze could only continue to double down!

In this manner, as he doubled it each time, the semblance of his Dharma Aspect in his hand began to undergo increasingly more transformations:

Where once it was just the size of a small bowl, the Dharma Aspect gradually grew to resemble a mountain, and formerly bare bell body now depicted mountains and earth, rivers and amber, flora and trees, with animals and insects....

Fang Ze appeared to be refining this golden bell with time and effort.

And when Fang Ze amassed a debt of a full 2 billion Lini, his Dharma Aspect finally reached complete form!

Two billion Lini, at 10,000 Lini per day, was equivalent to twenty thousand days, a total of 55 years!

By the end of cultivating it, Fang Ze himself felt somewhat apprehensive.

Fifty years? Whose Dharma Aspect takes fifty years to refine?

Is it that Mind Power is too precious, thus the cost is too high, or is his Dharma Aspect too unique?

Moreover.... two billion Lini. How was he supposed to pay that back?

Fang Ze could currently liquidate all his fixed assets to earn 2 billion Lini. But..... most of his assets were non-transferable. If he traded them, likely the buyers wouldn’t even have paid before rushing to trouble him.

So, 2 billion Lini was indeed a true significant figure for Fang Ze.

Also, don’t forget high-interest loans come with interest, at 3% per month, totaling a compounded annual interest of 42.6%.
