Chapter 0048
After that day, the Spectral Concubine indeed did not come out to “forage” anymore .
However, the Nine Regicides King had already said in Tian Wu Hall that he would allow Wu You a month for recuperation . Although the Spectral Concubine had already lost her entertainment in Capital Wu, they were in no hurry to leave .
Wu You had her own network of connections, and she was aware of exactly how many children there were in Capital Wu .
The Spectral Concubine could not cause mischief, and this was the perfect time for Wu Yu to put forth a burst of effort .
This was like back then, against Situ Minglang . It was a burst of effort for one deciding battle . However, the question was that he had fortuitously acquired the Savage Drop of Blood last time . This time around, he would not have such luck .
A Staff to Ascension required Wu Yu to expend tremendous amounts of energy .
"Going from the Vajra Forging Muscles to the Immortal Ape Transformation, what was required was perseverance, stamina, and opportunity . Only this 10th tier, A Staff to Ascension, requires a comprehensive revelation . "
To Wu Yu, this was a first .
The level of difficulty was higher than all of the previous tiers combined .
After a period of intense cultivation, Wu Yu came to a conclusion .
"The martial way's spirit ascension, A Staff to Ascension . . . If fate wills it, or I gain enlightenment, I could accomplish it in a day . If neither comes to pass, then I could be stuck at this tier for a decade, or even a century . "
A month's time could be said to be fairly risky .
"The path of dao has many challengers, but few emerge victorious . I am not special, and I cannot underestimate the Immortal Dao . If I do not respect the Immortal Dao, the Immortal Dao will not respect me . Then I will forever be unable to attain Spirit Ascension . "
If he could not ascend his spirit, then the chances of defeating the Spectral Concubine were only about 20 percent .
And once he lost, the life of Princess Wu You would be consigned to endless hell . He did not dare to imagine . . . .
It was precisely that which increased the pressure considerably for Wu Yu . If it were just for the sake of his own vendetta, then the pressure would not be so huge .
The pressure affected Wu Yu thoroughly, worming into his bones . As a result, when Wu Yu was training, he was unable to truly concentrate . Although he had more time now, he did not make a single bit of progress .
The more he willed himself to calm, the less he was calm .
Composure was not something that one could attain just because one willed it to be so .
Where it concerned Wu You, it was incredibly difficult to quieten his spirit and concentrate .
Wu Yu was counting the hours every day . Day by day passed by, and the window of opportunity shrank further and further .
Wu You's plan was well under way . In these days, the news of her marriage to the East God Nation had been protested rather vehemently amongst the people . Some had even gathered to demonstrate before the officials, congregating in the streets to shout and roam . They had caused quite a bit of unrest, and luckily there had been no casualties .
After all the stirring, roughly 80 percent of the people in Capital Wu alone were unwilling to see Princess Wu You married away to the East God Nation . Just in this month's time, the East God Nation guard encamped outside Capital Wu had been engaged in numerous conflicts with civilians . They had been cruel and had shown no mercy .
As a result, the reputation of the East God Nation fell further .
But Wu You knew that, in the end, it all came down to Wu Yu .
Although there were not many days remaining before the life and death battle, Wu You was still calm . Wu Yu had at least given her hope .
"Actually, knowing that you still live is already the best news to me . Whether I live or die is no longer consequential . ” At night, Wu You had come to the tower, resting against the banister and looking out at the night view of Capital Wu .
"How many more days?" Wu Yu's voice was a little hoarse .
"Three days . "
"Three days!" The Demon Subduing Staff clattered to the floor .
He had racked his brain but had not managed a single iota of success . How herculean the path of martial cultivation was!
Only three days remained . What would he fight Spectral Concubine with?
"Wu Yu, calm down and listen to me . " Wu You turned around, her face serene . She held Wu Yu's hands and turned her beautiful eyes to gaze at Wu Yu . She spoke in a warm voice, "Little Brother, such things should not be forced . A month has almost passed . With just a 20 percent chance of success, there is no way that Sister will let you risk your life . "
"No!"
"Calm down . Let me ask you . Can you protect my maternal tribe?" Wu You asked .
"Of course . " As long as Wu Yu was around, it would not be easy for Yuan Hao to exterminate Wu You's maternal tribe . Besides, Wu You's maternal tribe itself had some fighting capability .
Hearing this, Wu You smiled warmly and said, "Then all is well . If you have a breakthrough in these three days, then act on that day . If you are still at your current level, then you may not contend . It does you no good . You must be a bodyguard to my maternal tribe . As for me, I can die by poison once I am clear of Capital Wu, and let the East God Nation marry a corpse .
"Little Brother, to me, this is a very good conclusion . At least you still live . At least I have the right to take my own life and not be so helpless that even that option is denied to me . At least you can protect my maternal tribe . . . . " Wu You's eyes were brimming with tears, although she was content .
Wu Yu was in a frenzy . He shook his head, saying, "Sister, no matter what happens, I will appear before you in three days' time . "
