Lin Zhen had a long conversation with Mitchell, and finally agreed that as long as his cultivation was successful, he would definitely accompany him to the Demigod Tomb.
The two of them drank until it was dark, and finally Mitchell got drunk, he patted Lin Zhenâs shoulder and said, âBrother, I think you are very incredible. I didnât participate in the challenge this time, but Iâm not jealous of you. Letâs drink together and get rich together. If anyone dares to not submit to you and you canât retaliate for some reason, tell me, Iâll chop him up for you!â
Lin Zhen chuckled helplessly: âBig brother, donât be so barbaric.â
âHey! Donât think of me as some kind of good guy, do you know what I am? Iâm a fallen angel, what is a fallen angel? Itâs demonic, itâs corrupted, itâs bad. Originally, I wasnât a good guy and I donât care about being a good guy!â
âBut brother, I donât have anything good to give you, I found this in the tomb and thought youâd like it. Here, take this.â
Mitchell handed a disk to Lin Zhen.
âWhat is this?â Lin Zhen asked.
âHehe, this is a good thing, itâs called the Heavenly Star Disk. It can observe all major celestial phenomena within a million light years. You can see supernova explosions, wormholes appearing, black holes forming, and even massive energy bodies approaching, all these could be detected. Though Iâm not sure about its specific uses, I found it deeply buried in the tomb, so itâs probably useful. So brother, itâs a gift for you,â Mitchell explained.
Lin Zhen gratefully accepted the Heavenly Star Disk, thinking that if this was Mitchellâs sincerity, it would be rude to refuse it.
Especially because the Heavenly Star Disk could detect the formation of black holes, which would be really useful for Lin Zhen.
The black hole in Lin Zhen was not in its ultimate state, it also needs to evolve. If the black hole were to evolve, Lin Zhenâs strength would undoubtedly increase enormously.
Furthermore, massive approaching energy bodies also meant approaching powerful enemies, it was like bringing a radar with him.
In receipt of the Heavenly Star Disk, Lin Zhen felt that good deeds will be rewarded.
They drank until late into the night. Mitchell left and didnât go to the Earth Class for cultivation. He returned to rest and heal from his injuries.
He promised Lin Zhen that he will definitely return to the Heaven class a year later and teach a good lesson to those who looked down upon him.
Lin Zhen believed in Mitchell, he indeed had the strength. If Mitchell had participated this time, Lin Zhen even doubted whether he could have gotten first place.
Upon returning to the Heaven Class, Lin Zhen slightly released his Star Power to get rid of his drunkenness.@@novelbin@@
He was about to start formal cultivation.
*********
Life in the Holy Land was both boring and lengthy. The only thing that could add a little excitement was when someone breached a certain layer of the 33 Heavens Tower.
Compared to newcomers, the old studentsâ results would be superior.
For example, the previous class of Lin Zhen already had someone reach the seventh layer, and someone in the top three classes had reached the eighth and ninth layers.
However, itâs really difficult to reach the levels above ten. Unless your realm reaches the Divine Transformation, it would be basically impossible to do so.
And those who can surpass the Three Flowers and enter the Divine Transformation are also very rare in the Holy Land. At least the last few classes didnât have any, only a few of them were in the Heaven Class and Earth Class.
After Lin Zhen and Mitchell had a drink, he returned to the Senluo Sword Skill tablet and began a long cultivation.
The Senluo Sword Skill was a stone tablet filled with sword marks, without any text.
The person who erected the tablet had put it up, and then drew his sword at it, leaving the sword marks. Future generations could comprehend the sword skill based on the marks.
The entire tablet was densely covered with sword marks, some were deep, some were shallow, some were drawn out, and some were simple punctures leaving tiny imperceptible dots.
To comprehend the sword technique, one needed to understand the sequence in which the person who carved the stone tablet drew his sword.
This was definitely not an easy task, because these werenât just a few simple swords, there were thousands!
Just finding the first sword was a difficult process. You need to try one by one to simulate these sword techniques. Only the one that feels the most comfortable and handy could possibly be the correct one.
After successfully testing the first sword, the second sword was even more challenging, and needed to be executed in conjunction with the first sword.
What about the tenth sword? Or the first hundred swords?
Executing in sequence, slowly experimenting, simulating movements, this process was extremely complex, containing countless changes. If you didnât have adequate aptitude and talent, just this stone tablet alone could make it impossible for you to comprehend in your lifetime.
People have tried to comprehend the Senluo Sword Technique, but found it too difficult, giving up for lack of comprehension.
Only those like Lin Zhen, who have the devouring ability, dared to try the Senluo Sword Technique. He had already learned Heiguâs Abyss, and now Sen Han here; the Rakshasa in the Dimensional Universe, and if he gets the opportunity to learn Purgatory in Twin Trees Garden, Lin Zhen would have learned the complete Senluo Sword Technique.
The power of this sword technique was definitely more powerful than Landisâ spearmanship, even by a large margin!
The clone began a long period of comprehension, while the main body began to cultivate in the inner world.
Compared to clonesâ comprehension, the bodyâs cultivation process is relatively rich.
Lin Zhen began alchemy in the inner world.
After preparing the Pill Furnace and all other necessities, Lin Zhen took out all the spare medicinal materials and made pots and pots of Elixirs.
Currently, the elixir he was refining was the Juyuan Powder, which was suitable for the Longevity Realm, and the Frost Mist Pill, which was for eliminating the side effects of Elixir.
Lin Zhen is now a Level Nine World King, only one step away from Longevity. If he could cross this hurdle, his strength would certainly soar considerably.
Despite defeating the Divine Transformation on the seventh level of the Three-Thirty-Three Tower, Lin Zhen knows that he is still far from being a match for the Divine Transformation. Even dealing with the Three Flowers Peakâs Heavenly Lord would not be easy.
Without borrowing the power of his clone, he might not be able to defeat the Heavenly Lord alone.
Only by entering the Longevity Realm can Lin Zhen look down on the group of Three Flower Warriors and stand a chance against the Divine Transformation.
So, advancing to Longevity is key. Lin Zhen began to stockpile Elixirs for the Longevity stage.
Juyuan Powder, Frost Mist Pill, in addition to these two Elixirs, there are also indispensable Elixirs for nurturing Lin Zhenâs internal worldâSpiritual Strength Pills.
Among the Evil Star Charts in Lin Zhenâs internal world, only the two largest Evil Stars, Luo Gou and Ji Du, had not been illuminated.
Lin Zhen didnât dare to think about the Luo Gou Star for now, but he must illuminate the Ji Du Star.
According to Lin Zhenâs normal cultivation speed, illuminating the Ji Du star would take hundreds of years. However, he has the devouring ability of the Black Hole Beast, which allows him to cultivate with ease.
Nevertheless, even so, Lin Zhen is unsure if he would be able to illuminate Ji Du within ten years.
In the second year in the Holy Land, Lin Zhenâs Realm reached the peak of the World King. But he didnât feel the overflowing Star Power that signaled a necessary breakthrough, and he hadnât fully digested the medicinal effects yet.
That year, Lin Zhen had mastered about a third of the Senluo Sword Skill.
His Destructive God Thunder also recovered the second stripe.
********
In the third year in the Holy Land, Lin Zhenâs realm remained at the peak of the World King. His Star Power seemed to reach its peak and didnât continue to grow, yet he still didnât feel the impending breakthrough.
He had comprehended about two-fifths of the Senluo Sword Skill. This comprehension became harder as it progressed because the later stages of the Sword Skill involved more changes. Even with Lin Zhenâs exceptional talent, he couldnât grasp it too quickly.
That year, his Destructive God Thunder finally fully recovered.
********
In the fourth year in the Holy Land, Lin Zhen fully digested the medicinal effects in his body. He was able to swallow Elixirs to break into Longevity. However, Lin Zhen didnât do that. After many perfect breakthroughs, Lin Zhen wouldnât break through easily until he had reached his optimum condition.
That year, Lin Zhen mainly cultivated his Spiritual Power. After three years of arduous cultivation, his Spiritual Power reached forty percent of the Diamond Levelâeffectively entering the Diamond Middle Stage.
This was mainly due to the effects of the Elixirs. Since he hadnât advanced to Longevity, Lin Zhen swallowed these Elixirs without restraint. The progress could be described as rapid.
That year, Lin Zhen had understood half of the Sword Skill.
********
In the fifth year in the Holy Land, Lin Zhen felt that he still hadnât reached his optimum state. However, he wasnât impatientâcultivation was always an extremely long process.
The comprehension of the Senluo Sword Skill that year slightly halted. He had previously completed half of it, but in this year, he didnât even reach three-fifths.
All the Elixirs had been refined. Lin Zhen had used up all the stored Medicinal Materials.
Because his main body didnât need to meditate often, he had some free time. Lin Zhen started to contemplate on the Shadowless Step further.
********
In the sixth year, Lin Zhen finally felt a hint that his condition was nearing its peak, but he was still not quite there. He wasnât in a hurry to breakthrough, as he wanted to be fully prepared for it.
That year, Lin Zhen mainly focused on nurturing his internal world. The energy in his internal world became more abundant, and the day to illuminate the Ji Du Star seemed not too far away.
He finally completed three-fifths of the Senluo Sword Skill, and the sixth pattern of the Shadowless Step was also successfully comprehended.
With this set of steps learned, Lin Zhenâs agility had reached an exquisite level.
When this agility was used in combat, Lin Zhen was confident that when he returned to the eighth floor of the Three-Thirty-Three Tower, he wouldnât be easily defeated by the guards again.
********
In the seventh year, Lin Zhen finally sensed his Star Power no longer growing.
His Star Power approached saturation, and his Spiritual Power reached fifty percent of the Diamond Level.
However, he was waiting, waiting for the effect of nurturing his internal world.
********
By the eighth year, Lin Zhenâs Sword Skill comprehension reached eighty percent. The nurturing of his internal world seemed to hit its peak, and the day to light up the Ji Du Star seemed to be just around the corner.
Yet, he felt as if something was still missing in his cultivation.
Until one day, he spotted a Black Hole on the Heavenly Star Disk approximately three thousand light-years away from him in the endless Star Sea!
