A year essence pool is a resource point that imitates the environment of the River of Time so year beasts can survive, reside, and procreate.
Fang Yuan, who has Spectral Soul’s true inheritance and Lang Ya’s true inheritance among other methods, can choose among three plans for year beasts. The first is to construct a year essence pool. It can also be seen as a mini River of Time. Size can be large or small, classified into rank six, rank seven, rank eight, and rank nine. It saves space. Year beasts living there produce a certain amount of year Gu, and long management can even produce other wild time path Gu worms, including day Gu and month Gu, finally forming a micro River of Time. ch. 1609
The cost is absurdly high. A rank six pool is already an enormous sum, millions of immortal essence stones. A rank seven pool needs many rare immortal materials with no market supply. Fang Yuan needs a rank eight year essence pool to contain seven immemorial year beasts. He chooses this plan over Golden Age Platform and Twelve Zodiac battle formation because it brings the largest benefits, even though constructing rank eight would endanger his finances before thirty percent if he used only his own capital. He judges that now is the best time to construct one. He asks Xia clan for materials such as spiral dawn light. ch. 1609
Materials extorted
Shang clan is asked for eight-parts jade. Ba clan is asked for seven treasures water. Luo clan, Hou clan, and Chai clan are a second wave. Xia clan’s ten portions of spiral dawn light arrive first. Spiral dawn light, eight-parts jade, and seven treasures water are sent. Fang Yuan soon has most of the immortal materials needed to construct the year essence pool. ch. 1610
Rank eight dam
With sufficient preparation and luck, Fang Yuan constructs the rank eight year essence pool on the first try. An enormous one hundred li pool forms in the sovereign immortal aperture. He draws in a tributary of the River of Time. The tributary pours into the pool and flows out the other end thin as a brook. While the pool fills, the sovereign immortal aperture’s time flow slows, then restores when the pool is full. The pool integrates with the tributary and is concealed with it. It is not just a resource point. It has the effect of a dam: draining or accumulating its water can change the aperture’s rate of time without the interval limits of killer moves such as days pass like years. Construction uses spiral dawn light, seven treasures water, and eight-parts jade, merged so they will not self-disintegrate. Cost at rank eight is enormous and needs formation path methods. It is essentially an immortal Gu formation. Fang Yuan’s formation path grandmaster attainment lets him use dao marks in the immortal materials to set it up. When completely filled it would expand to ten thousand li. It is concealed like an illusion and occupies no space in the sovereign immortal aperture. It is an independent small world where he can build a food chain, and it restrains year beasts so they move only in the pool and cannot escape, including wild immemorial year beasts. ch. 1612
