Inala spent the next eight months building the Biome Lattice, a three-dimensional net consisting of Gold Biome Bombs that were all connected.
Biome Bombs were able to absorb and transmit Prana/Lifespan. So basically, as long as Inala touches anywhere on this network either physically or through a string of Prana, he was able to absorb all the Prana and Lifeforce accumulated through the entire network.
He was building this for two reasons. First was obviously to accumulate enough Prana and Lifespan to elevate himself to Mystic Grade multiple times, without having to worry about his expenditure. Second was to gather Keys, a ginormous amount of them.
The Biome Lattice was massive, peeking out of the ocean floor in the shape of a dome, stretching for three kilometres in height and spreading out close to forty kilometres.
A Gold Biome Bomb was able to condense four strings of Prana. As all four strings were used to form the network, the Biome Lattice was a passive structure, unable to actively reach out for the Phells. But that wasn't necessary here.
Rather, there was a simpler method to target them. After all, the goal was for their bodies to make contact with the network. Anywhere would do.ReAd latest chapters at n0v(e)lbin.co/m Only
The Biome Lattice was solid, closely resembling a diamond in the way the Gold Biome Bombs were packed. So, its structural strength was robust enough to endure a powerful shock, which would happen next.
The Phells were small and there was more than enough free space in the Biome Lattice for them to move freely without coming into contact with the strings of Prana. Some of them came in contact from time to time and died horrible deaths.
The Phells in the vicinity instinctively avoided the strings upon knowing the ill fate of their brethren. So, Inala hadn't gotten anything of value from the Biome Lattice. Instead, the operation costs alone bankrupted him.
'This will change now.' Thinking as such, he placed a thumb-sized Biome Bomb in the centre of the Biome Lattice and hurriedly fled the place.
A few minutes later, the Biome Bomb combusted itself to unleash the presence of a Gold Grade Royal Zinger. The Pranic Beast's presence instantly triggered the Phells into a state of aggression.
There was less than a moment of stillness after the presence release, following which millions of Phells swarmed the region within the Biome Lattice, crowding the place. And obviously, in their aggressiveness, their scale of activity was intense, causing a large number of Phells to come into contact with the strings of Prana.
'First test is a success!' Inala stood at a spot ten kilometres away from the Biome Lattice. Trailing before him was a line created by a series of Gold Biome Bombs connecting each other through Prana strings.
The moment he touches it, he could use this channel to draw in all the Prana and Lifespan gathered by the Biome Lattice. This way, Inala could gather energy without having to risk his life.
This was a tremendous number. After all, a Bludder unleashed its Eddy Blade by consuming 300 units of Prana. If Inala had the means, he could spam an Eddy Blade every second. The sheer amount he was gaining was bonkers, especially since it was Gold Grade Prana.
Moreover, this supply would never diminish. The Biome Lattice currently held Prana in the millions from this one action. Only when their reserves drop below a certain level would Inala draw in another batch of Phells.
All these were just insignificant in the face of the true scariness of these eight months of work that Inala had done. He was absorbing 320 units of Prana every second.
When the Spirit Container of a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast generates ten million units of Prana, a piece of Sumatra Gold finishes forming on its heart. "...Damn!"
Inala focused on his heart and could observe a shiny piece forming already, sporting stripes of red and black amidst an overall golden hue. In real-time, its size was increasing. Inala made a short calculation and arrived at a stunning result.
Two Years!
That's how long it would take him to finish condensing a piece of Sumatra Gold. Actually, it was 651 days. But even when approximated, it was a mere two years. That was absurd to the extreme, which was what Inala was facing now.
Honestly, the moment he made the calculation, Inala wanted nothing more than to kidnap Yarsha Zahara, brainwash her, and make her his subordinate. He could easily produce enough Sumatra Gold for her to reach the peak of the Body Stage.
If not for her, Inala would have to search for a Free Human talented enough to fuse Sumatra Gold into their Human Avatar. Inala hadn't seen such an existence apart from Yarsha Zahara, so it was impossible to discover such a talent and grow them from scratch.
But that was just a secondary thought. With enough Sumatra Gold, Inala could dare plan for concepts inconceivable to anyone other than the Royal Zinger.
He could produce a piece of Sumatra Gold in two years. His Biome Bombs from Gold Grade and above could create both grey sand and the Bolt of Transcendence. The Nectar was a substance capable of elevating the genes of a Ravaged Tribesman and Clansman.
'I think I can think of a direction for my progression through the Life Stage.' Inala grinned. Thanks to Mystic Royal Art, Inala could condense bodies for his progression through the Life Stage. But, that would only work when he remains in his base state.
The moment he tries to elevate his Grade, the stack will implode, resulting in his death. So, instead of wasting his Tertiary Nature on a dynamic version of the Nature of Cultivator, Inala could instead use a Minor Treasure to achieve a stabilisation effect.
As long as his bodies elevate in grade alongside him without causing an implosion, his goal would be achieved. 'I can constantly condense and kill a second body. Then, if I were to use Nectar to stockpile my genes and stabilise it through Sumatra Gold, can I eventually achieve an effect similar to my base state reaching the 10-Life Stage?'
"I can work on this next!" Inala laughed, "Man, I am brimming with ideas!"
