After leaving the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, Lin Zhen started along the mountain road to the mountain peak where Heaven Class cultivates.
People he passed along the way nodded in greeting to Lin Zhen. After all, Lin Zhen was not a one-of-a-kind person anymore. Being the first among the newcomers of Heaven Class, he could only be described as having boundless prospects.
More importantly, no one dared to underestimate Lin Zhenâs strength.
Who would dare to provoke someone capable of penetrating the seventh level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower and defeating a Spiritual Mind Master in the early stage of Divine Transformation?
As he passed by the alchemy room, Qian Tong saw Lin Zhen and immediately turned to enter the room.
When passing by the Earth Realm of Xuan Class, Lin Zhen saw the machinery.
The machine took a glance at Lin Zhen and then tightly closed its eyes. It seemed as though it didnât notice Lin Zhen passing by at all.
From their looks, Lin Zhen felt a hint of fear.
While these two individuals would not give up on seeking revenge, at least for now, they did not dare to act recklessly. They realized that Lin Zhen, the World King, was kind of powerful. If they infuriated Lin Zhen, there probably wouldnât be a good outcome for them.
Of course, Lin Zhen would not let them off. However, the time wasnât right yet. What was most important at this moment was to seize the time to enhance his strength.
Ever since witnessing the early stage of Divine Transformation, Lin Zhenâs perspective felt suddenly enlightened, and he had high hopes for his future path.
At the same time, he felt not quite satisfied with his current strength, as his realm was still too low.
Following the mountain road uphill, he soon arrived at the Heaven Class location.
The cultivating atmosphere of Heaven Class was very intense. The class had about sixty to seventy people. When the older students saw Lin Zhen arrive, none of them actively said anything. Most were so immersed in their own cultivation that they didnât notice Lin Zhenâs arrival.
Upon seeing Lin Zhen, the newcomers nodded slightly. Lin Zhen saw Dongfang Yu from the Da Han Empire even bow with fist in hand, saying: âIâve met Elder Brother Lin.â
The studentsâ ranking was based on their progress in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. Since Lin Zhen was able to penetrate the seventh layer, he was ranked above them and was the top among the newcomers.
Lin Zhen waved at Dongfang Yu: âNo need to be polite, Iâm younger, just call me by my name.â
âHa ha, Elder Brother Lin is very approachable.â Dongfang Yu laughed.
Lin Zhen walked over, and Sun Yidaoâs gaze fell on him. Despite calling him Elder Brother, there was clearly a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
With nothing much to say, Lin Zhen moved ahead and reached the stone tablet of the Senluo Sword Skill.
There was no one studying this sword skill at the moment, for alone, the power of a single Senluo Sword Skill was not extraordinary.
At least in Lin Zhenâs view, the power of the single Soul Lock Platformâs Senluo Sword Skill that he currently mastered was not as powerful as the God Burial skill he had just learned.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, Lin Zhen began to delve into everything about the Senluo Sword Skill.
The Senluo Sword Skill has four moves, namely Sen, Yuan, Luo, and Yu.
Sen, called Sen Han.
Yuan, called Abyss.
Luo, called Rakshasa.
Yu, called Purgatory.
The Soul Lock Platform Sword Skill learned from Heigu was called Abyss.
The sword skill here at Falling Star Lake was called Sen Han. From Freedom City came the stone tablet, named Rakshasa.
The last sword skill called as Purgatory, Lin Zhen could not access it in Twin Trees Garden at present.
If these moves were used individually, the power would probably lie between Death, Taiyuan Sword Skill, and God Burial. The power was good, but it definitely would not reach a shocking level.
Moreover, there is no chronological order between these moves. The power complements each other. As long as one more move is learned, the power of the previous move will be doubled.
For instance, Lin Zhen has now learned the Abyss Sword Skill. If he learns Sen Han, then any of these two moves could possibly single-handedly match or even surpass the power of God Burial.
If he learns Rakshasa from Freedom City, the combined power of these three moves would be unimaginable.
The reason why Heigu wanted to infiltrate Falling Star Lake in the first place was because of the attraction of the Senluo Sword Skill, which led to his untimely death.
When he was studying the Senluo Sword Skill, he pondered the stone tablet for a full fifty years. He spent half of his time at the Holy Land on the Senluo Sword Skill. He had good comprehension skills; his case was pretty rare. Because of this, few people would spend a lot of their precious time at the Holy Land to grasp this stone tablet. Therefore, there was no one before Lin Zhen when he arrived at the stone tablet.
Moreover, the Senluo Sword Skill was unsigned, and it was unknown whose stone tablet was left here, which added more mystery to it.
After looking at the Sen Han stone tablet in front of him, and then at the Rakshasa stone tablet permanently stored in his dimensional universe, Lin Zhen decided to start understanding Sen Han first.
The Rakshasa stone tablet will not disappear from the Dimensional Universe. Even if he ever leaves the Holy Land, he can gain wisdom from it anytime, anywhere. His first priority was to master the teachings of Sen Han.
It took Heigu fifty years to understand the stone tablet. Lin Zhen believed that it would not take him so long.
Just as he was about to start training, someone suddenly called him from within the Dimensional Universe.
âMaster, your friend Mitchell is calling you. Should I connect the call?â
âConnect it.â
Lin Zhen was curious to know what had happened to Mitchell.
After the call was connected, Mitchellâs image appeared on the screen. Judging from the background, it seemed he was outside the Heaven Class area.
âLin Zhen, I would like to see you. Can you come out?â
Lin Zhen was taken aback. He then remembered that Mitchell hadnât participated in the trial of the Thirty-three Day Tower, and had been automatically demoted to the Earth Class.
âSo you canât enter anymore?â
âYes, those arrogant folks wouldnât let me enter the Heaven Class territory because I couldnât participate in the trial due to my injury. Once I return to the Heaven Class next year, Iâll make them pay.â
Lin Zhen realized that he was referring to some servants and chuckled, âAlright, I will come out now.â
He left the stone tablet and saw Mitchell angrily standing outside, with two servants blocking him.
Upon seeing Lin Zhen come out, the two servants looked somewhat embarrassed, âLin Zhen, itâs not that weâre unsympathetic. Itâs just that the Holy Land has its rules. Since Mitchell is no longer a member of the Heaven Class, he cannot enter the Heaven Class area. We are helplessâ¦â
Lin Zhen waved his hand, saying to Mitchell, âBrother, why bother over such trivial matters? Letâs go down the mountain and have a drink.â
Mitchell was just a bit upset at the moment. He would not break the rules of the Holy Land. He snorted and followed Lin Zhen down the mountain.
They reached the foot of the mountain a while later. Star Picking Island is home to tens of thousands of people, equivalent to a small town with several taverns.
Finding a quiet place, they sat down.
âLin Zhen, letâs drop the formalities, and Iâll just call you by your first name.â
âHaha! Thatâs better.â
âAlright then, I know youâre wealthy since youâre a Seventh-grade Alchemist. Itâs quite remarkable, so I wonât be polite about the food.â
Lin Zhen raised his hand to indicate Mitchell should order whatever he wanted. How much could a meal cost him?
Mitchell surely didnât hold back. For starters, he ordered a steamed golden dolphin and braised flying dragon wings.
With two main courses, some small dishes and good wine on the side, the table was quickly filled with food.
Mitchell picked up his wine glass, toasted Lin Zhen and said, âLin Zhen, I want to thank you for your help. If it werenât for you, Iâd have been digested by those damned beetles. Hereâs to you.â
He tilted his head back and gulped the fine wine worth tens of thousands.
Lin Zhen also took a shot, âNo need for formalities. Anyone would have done the same. However, Iâm curious about how you ended up in such a mess.â
Mitchell said indignantly, âDonât remind me! I went to the Endless Star Sea with a team of friends to find a star, a Tomb Star.â
âTomb Star?â Lin Zhen was hearing this term for the first time.@@novelbin@@
âYes, a Tomb Star, where a Demigod Strong was once buried. We planned to find his tomb but unexpectedly ran into some Angels.â
Mitchell took another shot of wine, âThe Angels are the most deceitful and hypocritical race. They pretended to work together with us and agreed to split whatever we found. Their previous performance seemed sincere, they even saved the life of one of our friends which gained our trust.â
âBut we never expected that they would ambush us when we got close to the tomb. All my friends died in there. I barely managed to hide in a tomb. They tried to get the death beetles to consume me. Out of desperation, I had to provoke my prized Wormhole Egg to escape from the Demigod Tomb. However, I was severely injured and some death beetles followed me into the wormhole. If I hadnât run into you, I would have been doomedâ
Mitchell laughed a bit, âBut they didnât benefit either. I took the key to the tomb. If they want to open the door, they will have to decrypt it, which will take at least ten years!â
Lin Zhen wasnât too concerned about their disputes but the mention of the Demigod Tomb piqued his interest.
âDemigod?â
âYes, a Demigod. Those are the people who failed to break through the Divine Stone Realm, the final stage of the God Transformation. These people shattered most of their Divine Stones to survive. They permanently lost the hope of becoming gods, but they all became incredibly strong. Many believe that the most powerful beings below the gods are Demigods. Reaching the Demigod Realm is sufficient to rule the Original World.â
After saying this, Mitchell whispered as though sharing a secret: âBrother, would you want to take an opportunity to go on an adventure with me? We would go there again and as long as we open the Demigodâs tomb, youâll get stacks of Divine Stones!â
After some thought, Lin Zhen said, âNot right now, my focus is on training.â
âI understand. You might be about to make a breakthrough. But please remember, within ten years⦠no, nine years, Iâll definitely return to the Demigod Tomb. If we succeed, we wonât have to worry about resources for cultivation in the future. As soon as youâre ready, we will set off.â
