Yang Rai made sure to let Hua Qing Si know not to interrupt him unless it was an emergency. He was about to go into a highly focused and deep meditation state. This was so he could quickly empower his Glyphs quickly. He had to temper his body rapidly. This was dangerous even for him. Well mainly for him since he couldn't use anything to help support himself. It was pure skill that determined just how much he could tolerate.
120 years passed, with the assistance of his spirits Yang Rai managed to create an incredibly strong body. He felt absolutely amazing. With The addition of the drastically stronger T9 R6 glyphs his total strength was now undoubtedly comparable to a Rank 9 Open Heaven Realm at the very least.
"I feel like I might even give a giant spirit god a run for their money. This is incredible."
"Papa, Yue here. The Rank 6 spirits are doing great."
"I see, the world itself seems to be filled with an even more Pure and Dense World Force. I think that might be my doing."
"Master, you're quite the amazing guy. Over the last 120 years the Artifacts world grew significantly."
"The Heavenly Way has jumped dramatically. Is this even right?"
"Father, you have grown this world. Surely you understand why this happened."
"I have several guesses. But this might be due to the constant strengthening loop this world naturally goes through."
"Yes, father. You also said it yourself. There are far more numerous people living in this world, Than any other world. Surely this would have a profound effect on it."
"Master, I think when you removed most of the issues with birthing new life is when the effects began to cascade."
"I see, since I made it far easier for life to proliferate and live full lives, The World has begun to take drastic changes. I like this effect."
"The little world spirits in charge of the cultivation spring you made father, have also improved it a lot. The meadows flower grows around a small pond filled with Clear Yang Lake water. When cultivators enter and leave they can rest in this small lake to grow their strength."
"Great. Seeing as how there is such a drastic change let's begin making the Rank 9 Tree again. I feel like I'll be able to handle this time."
Yang Rai began working on the fusion ritual again. After synthesizing the second set he ever did, it became very clear to him that his original fears were realized. Not only was it going to take 6561 sets of precious Rank 8 Resources for each set of Rank 9. It was going to take 6561 Rank 9 sets to make one tree. After a deep and painful sounding sigh he continued fusing the materials together. This process took him 9 years to complete.
Yang Rai rested for a year to recover to full strength before attempting to fuse the rank 9 tree. He used so many resources thus far that he really didn't want to fail. Fully powered and recovered He began to fuse all 6561 sets of Rank 9 Resources. This was enough energy being manipulated that it was felt in the Star Boundary. Later Yang Rai would receive reports of Cultivators around the whole of StarBoundary feeling this absolutely massive force.
