Just like when exploring the paper boat.

It requires skill to keep the paper boat from drifting in all directions, and only then can it be retrieved.

On the other hand, one must use strength to counter the whirlpool's power that absorbs the paper boat.

Apply force gradually and continuously control with consistent strength.

Wang Ye immersed all his divine sense and attention in the process of retrieving the paper boat.

Unknowingly, sweat had already soaked Wang Ye's entire forehead.

Three minutes.

Ten minutes passed.

After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, Wang Ye's face had already turned somewhat pale.

Yet, the paper boat was still in its original position, not budging an inch.

Wang Ye calculated in his heart that during this time, he had used an additional 20% of his divine sense, and now only 29% remained.

Fatigue spread throughout Wang Ye's body.

However, a smile appeared on his face.

During this time, Wang Ye had discovered the method to retrieve the paper boat.

He figured out how to make the power formed by his divine sense exert maximum effect during this process.

"Rise!"

Wang Ye shouted.

Even though Wang Ye's forehead was already drenched with sweat, it seemed that only now was he truly starting to exert effort.

But in fact, everything Wang Ye had done before was just laying the groundwork for himself.

The following step was the most crucial.

While laying the groundwork, Wang Ye never cared about how much divine sense power was wasted in the process.

Wang Ye only knew that by doing his best in the groundwork, he could more easily complete the task when exerting real effort.

Zhou Xuan Ying stood aside, thoroughly remembering Wang Ye's performance from start to finish.

From the initial probing, the middle gamble, the previous groundwork, to the current all-out effort of Wang Ye.

Every stage seemed to have been pre-arranged by Wang Ye from the very beginning.

Everything proceeded according to the picture Wang Ye had imagined.

"Rise!"

Another loud shout came from Wang Ye's throat, sounding like a dragon's roar.

The moment the sound echoed, everything, whether it was his divine sense or body, acted strictly according to Wang Ye's will, under his control.

Swipe.

The paper boat floating on the water's surface was forcibly lifted by Wang Ye from the "surface," and in just that instant, Wang Ye expended a full 20% of his divine sense power!

Wang Ye was not surprised.

The power of his divine sense continued, pulling the paper boat.

Merely lifting the paper boat from the "surface" did not mean the end.

The paper boat still needed to be brought to his side.

Zhou Xuan Ying watched from the side, his aged eyes filled with static brilliance, no longer fixated on the paper boat but moving between Wang Ye and the paper boat.

Although Zhou Xuan Ying hadn't retrieved a paper boat himself.

Zhou Xuan Ying knew that Wang Ye would certainly manage to retrieve the paper boat.

This was his trust in Wang Ye.

Even though it was Wang Ye's first time entering the ruins to retrieve a paper boat, Zhou Xuan Ying could sense from every move Wang Ye made that he was meticulous with every detail.

Results were achieved through careful observation and probing.

In this process, although there was an element of gamble for Wang Ye,

Mainly, it was Wang Ye's persistent effort to summarize and plan to reach this level.

Previously, it wasn't that no one had discovered the paper boat related to extending lifespan.

However, even if people had discovered it, the immense power required to retrieve the paper boat meant no one could do it.

Some fortunate individuals found their first paper boat to be related to extending lifespan.

But failure ensued because they used the wrong method.

Wang Ye had a gamble element, but primarily each step was extremely cautious.

Just the final step remained.

As long as he could pull the paper boat over, the magician could gradually understand how to extend life through their own means.

While it's not guaranteed to succeed,

The long years of experimental results would certainly serve some purpose.

Zhou Xuan Ying's lips curled into a smile.

Wang Ye had not yet succeeded, but to Zhou Xuan Ying, it seemed as if Wang Ye was bound to succeed 100%.

Wang Ye's power was used to the utmost, his eyes fixed only on the paper boat, not daring to look elsewhere.

Afraid that any slight distraction would make the paper boat fall straight into the water.

At that point, all of Wang Ye's efforts would have been in vain.

Wang Ye took a deep breath.

He held onto this breath.

Although Wang Ye's divine sense was doing the pulling, his entire body mimicked the posture of exerting force as he operated.

Boom!

Streams of white divine sense power shattered instantly beneath the paper boat.

All the bindings on the paper boat shattered at once.

Only then did Wang Ye exhale the breath he had taken earlier.

"Finally..."

Wang Ye dragged the floating paper boat into his hand.

Now, all other restraints on the paper boat had been dealt with by Wang Ye.

This meant that from today on, this paper boat belonged to Wang Ye.

The expression on Wang Ye's face was one of utter joy.

A method for the magician to achieve longevity!

The moment Wang Ye brought the paper boat into his hand,

All the contents of the paper boat flooded into Wang Ye's mind.

Something meticulously researched over centuries by a devoted scholar now poured into Wang Ye's mind, and even though his sea of consciousness was quite strong,

The influx of knowledge gave him a splitting headache and a feeling of his divine sense being torn apart.

Zhou Xuan Ying was also overjoyed.

As for Wang Ye's look of pain,

Zhou Xuan Ying noticed but felt it was nothing.

Gaining something definitely requires a price.

After a whole incense stick's duration,

Wang Ye finally emerged from the painful state, his blurry eyes slightly clearer.

Before Wang Ye could focus on Zhou Xuan Ying, Zhou Xuan Ying had already placed a pill in Wang Ye's hand.
