Chapter 389 Final Steps
Before William knew it, an entire year had passed.
Using the first two million or so Potential Points he earned within the first month from his Magical Beasts and the two Mines, William purchased two additional Element Farms and upgraded them to C-Rank. He assigned the Space Element to one of the farms, while the other would grow Fire Fruits.
He chose these Elements specifically for a few reasons. For one, Space Magic was an incredible utility Element that was not only ideal for travel, but amazing for combat. It was a no brainer that William would want to raise his comprehension of the Space Element early.
The Fire Element was chosen for almost the complete opposite reason. Alongside the rarer Elements, William wanted to see how comprehension affected the basic Elements. Additionally, if he wanted to be low-profile, William could hopefully depend on the Fire Element to handle his problems rather than a rare one like Space or Seal.
It was always best to hold onto a few trump cards, as a few wise ones once said.
William assigned both the Fire and Space Trees to grow on the same cycle, harvesting his 80th total Seal Fruit and 125th Order Fruit in April. All four Elemental Farms would now grow on the 20th of each month, and each would give him 25 Fruits per harvest. The only thing that bothered William was the Seal Elemental Farm, which had already been harvested for 5 Fruits in the past.
The System said he could fix that by not harvesting some of the Fruits in the next cycle, but William ended up not doing what the System suggested, since that would mean he was losing out on five Fruits.
It was a tough battle between OCD and loot goblin tendencies, but the loot goblin in him won. William decided to fix the Seal Fruits only after his comprehension had reached one hundred percent.
After raising the Element Farms, William spent the next three million Potential Points upgrading all three of his Potential Farms to B-Rank, increasing their individual Points earnings from 1500 Points per day to 15000, a ten-times increase.
William had physically seen all of the 27 Superior Veins in the World except for a single one, which he could sense was buried incredibly deep underground. If not for the fact that his Navigation Talent had been upgraded to X-Rank and could even see almost to the deepest underground areas of the World, William wouldn't have noticed this Vein at all.
That said, he could sense a dangerous presence underground as well, and the System informed him that it would be best to save that Vein for last. William didn't have to be told twice, continuing to hatch Magical Beasts and disperse them throughout the Continents.
Over time, he even found two additional fragments of the Mythical Array Wheel, combining with the rest to make seven out of eight fragments. He was only missing a single one, which he had sensed in the Hillvire Empire but never located. Read new chapters at empire
It didn't matter much to William at this point since the Array Wheel wasn't able to store Tier 6 Arrays, but he did it for the extra fifty thousand Potential Points. Even if his Potential Farms earned almost as much in a day now, Points were Points.
Every three months, William visited his group of friends that were still happily Cultivating in the Revista Faction's Territory. Each of them had undergone enlightenment except for Yuming, surprisingly, and their Cultivation had skyrocketed to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Carl and Gunther had even broken through and were already in the third stage of the Soul Formation Realm, which was incredible to say the least. For only a single year to pass but with such an improvement, they were almost comparable to the newest wave of talented humans that appeared out of nowhere.
When William spoke of these people, of course, he still had yet to realize that these were Players from his original World. It wasn't that he was being hindered in any way, he just didn't interact with them at all.
What he did notice, however, was that some of these people had already begun to Ascend, moving upwards in droves that caused dozens of Heavenly Tribulations.
They weren't much compared to the weaker Cultivators' frequent Tribulations, but the damage to the environment was immense. For a time, Cities even had to establish their own laws related to Tribulations, only allowing them to be taken in specified areas.
