Chapter 1706: The Illusion of Becoming More Powerful
Lin Huang sat with his legs crossed and entered the cultivation state in the virtual realm cabin.
His priority during the closed-door cultivation this time was to visualize the nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization images.
Among the 108 nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization images, he was only left with the final two that he had yet to complete.
He had put it aside because, back then, he would have had to spend tens of thousands of years to visualize the 107th image alone with his upper-rank lord-level God’s soul.
Since elevating to Lord-level, the strength of his God’s soul had reached ultimate-rank lord-level. Given that he had two God’s soul-type Goldfingers in his body now, the Soul-controlling Tablet and Brain of the Soul, the visualization duration would be reduced significantly.
After calming his mind, Lin Huang no longer hesitated and entered a state of visualization directly.
Days passed by in the virtual realm cabin.
He spent less than 200 years to completely visualize the 107th visualization image successfully.
The strength of his God’s soul had elevated directly to peak ultimate-level lord-level.
He spent over 800 years to complete the 108th visualization image.
The strength of Lin Huang’s God’s soul and Divine Telekinesis elevated again when he was done visualizing the last nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization image. They reached the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level.
“I’ve finally completed the visualization process!” Lin Huang released a long exhale of breath.
Although he did not keep track of the exact duration, he was very sure that he spent a fairly long time visualizing the last two images.
Sensing the speedy transformation of his God’s soul within his body, Lin Huang felt an inexplicable sense of achievement, akin to the feeling when he had conquered a stage in the games he used to play.
However, the second his God’s soul completed its transformation in its entirety, the set of nameless Divine Telekinesis visualization images were suddenly crushed, turning into sparkles and disappearing.
Lin Huang was stunned for a moment, but soon came to a realization.
The nameless Divine Telekinesis inheritance had clearly self-destructed as he had already completely mastered the inheritance.
“The owner of this inheritance was a decent person. I can’t believe he did that because he was unwilling to have his inheritance being exploited.” Lin Huang roughly guessed the mindset of the owner of the inheritance.
On one hand, he hoped that there would be a successor for his inheritance.
On the other hand, he did not want his inheritance to end up in the wrong hands.
Therefore, he set things up accordingly.
Since someone had inherited it completely, he would destroy it directly. There was no need for a second successor.
Naturally, the risk of doing that was grave.
If the person who obtained the visualization images died before completing the visualization, the inheritance might be buried together with the person who died. The possibility of it being inherited would have vanished entirely.
Naturally, the owner had to be mentally prepared for this eventuality if he chose to make such a decision.
Lin Huang fell into a daze momentarily as he watched the visualization images disappear. He began to worry a little now.
There was no way for him to cultivate his God’s soul and Divine Telekinesis in the future.
Although the strength of his God’s soul had reached the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level, he did not think that ultimate-rank lord-level was his final destination. He wanted to step into the dao-level; he wanted to achieve an even higher level.
However, without a way to cultivate his God’s soul and Divine Telekinesis, he had no idea how he would break through to the next level of his God’s soul.
Nevertheless, Lin Huang did not worry or dwell on the problem for too long.
His current combat strength was merely at lower-rank lord-level. He still had ample time to figure out how to break through to the next level of his God’s soul.
Seeing that there was no way to elevate the strength of his God’s soul, he shifted his focus to his physical strength.
He had used the Goldfinger Pure Golden Blood’s function to absorb Bai and the rest’s blood essences earlier. He elevated his physical strength to peak ultimate-rank lord-level. He was only a step away from the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level.
In addition, Lin Huang happened to obtain hundreds of Lords’ blood essences from the mummy-like man’s storage space he had killed previously.
Although the quality of these blood essences could not be compared with the blood essence he had obtained from Bai and the others, it would be wasteful not to make use of the resources he had obtained.
Whether or not they could elevate his physical strength to the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level, that was something he would only find out after absorbing them.
With that mindset, Lin Huang fed the bottles of blood essences to the Pure Golden Blood in his body one by one.
Very soon, the Pure Golden Blood began a new round of reaction after absorbing the Lords’ blood essences.
Lin Huang could sense clearly that his physical strength was increasing slowly.
Though slow, the increase was steady.
Lin Huang fed it hundreds of bottles of Lords’ blood essences.
The Pure Golden Blood extracted the effective substances from them continuously to strengthen Lin Huang’s physical body.
Time continued to pass in the virtual realm cabin.
Very soon, his physical strength elevated from peak ultimate-rank lord-level to the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level.
Although the quality of the blood essences could not compare, there were more in quantity after all.
Moreover, Lin Huang’s physical strength had already been a half step away from the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level previously.
This round of strengthening had bridged the half-step gap entirely, pushing his physical body to its limit once and for all.
The strength of his God’s soul and physical body had reached the limits of ultimate-rank lord-level. In reality, this exceeded Lin Huang’s expectations.
However, he did not plan to leave his closed-door cultivation session just yet. Instead, he chose to continue on.
For the third round of closed-door cultivation, he chose to refine the Lords’ God Territories.
He had busied himself over the Sword Alliance’s matters for a month. The auction to sell the spoils he obtained from Nine Snake’s team had also ended earlier. There were also the 11 intermediate-grade Dao Weapons he obtained from killing Black Mountain and the others. He had traded them for Lords’ Kingdoms on Royal’s auction before.
He had been putting these aside until now, and he could finally spend some time to refine them now.
This time, he had obtained many Lords’ Kingdoms from trading the spoils.
He obtained 648 middle-rank Lords’ Kingdoms alone.
There were also 211 upper-rank Lords’ Kingdoms.
Finally, he had also managed to obtain eight ultimate-rank Lords’ Kingdoms as well.
Naturally, the Kingdoms he obtained this time were the same as before. They were Abyssal and Bug Tribe Kingdoms that nobody wanted.
Otherwise, it was impossible that he could have obtained that many.
However, the quantity was the only thing that mattered to Lin Huang.
No matter what kind of Kingdom it was, the Eternity Fire was able to remove the contaminated energy contained in those Kingdoms.
Lin Huang began the refining process directly after doing a rough inventory.
There was no concept of time in the virtual realm.
Day after day, Lin Huang did not eat, drink, rest or sleep. It was unclear how long it took for him to finally refine all the 648 middle-rank Lords’ Kingdoms.
The 648 middle-rank Lords’ Kingdoms provided a boost of over 38,000 Dao seals in Lin Huang’s Kingdoms. The total number of Dao seals increased to 43,161.
Regarding the number of Dao tattoos, it provided a boost of over 260 million Dao tattoos; the total number surpassing 300 million.
The round of elevation seemed to provide a comprehensive boost to Lin Huang’s ability on the surface.
It even seemed like he could fight a minor dao-level entity head-on if he unleashed his Kingdom.
However, Lin Huang realized that, though there were many Dao seals in his Kingdom indeed, they seemed to be restricted by the strength of his God’s soul and physical body. Even in his Kingdom, 3,000 Dao seals was the limit he could use.
He clearly sensed that there would be a great risk of his God’s soul and physical body collapsing instantly if he was to use even 1 additional Dao seal past his limit.
His initial excitement faded away; he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed on his face.
Looking at the remaining upper-rank and ultimate-rank Lords’ Kingdoms, he gave up on the plan of continuing to refine them.
“I should just obediently refine my god sequence chains to elevate my brute force outside my Kingdom,” Lin Huang said, feeling rather helpless.
