191. Chapter 190 – 240 Million Merit Points, Lin Chen’s Schemes
Of course, this was for other beings.
Lin Chen was not among them.
Carrying an innate Dao Body, both his qualifications and his enlightenment topped the True Martial World, and as early as the True Spirit Realm, he had clearly defined his own cultivation path.
Guardian Sword Dao.
Now, he had even comprehended the Law of Guardianship and the Law of the Sword, integrating these two top laws into his cultivation path, forming a special cultivation method that was uniquely his own but comparable to the Supreme Power Path.
In other words, at this point, Lin Chen had already fulfilled the second as well as the third requirement for advancing to the Transcendent Realm, and as long as he raised his mana to the limit of his current realm, he could attempt to break through to the Transcendent Realm.
Thus, after returning to the Lin Family, Lin Chen couldn’t wait to enter a state of seclusion.
In order to make the best use of what he had, he chose to turn on the most cost-effective Hundred Times Time Passage, which was able to last for ten years and cost one million merit points.
Under the full force of his bitter cultivation, Lin Chen’s Merit Point balance was like flowing water, draining away like crazy.
After a thousand years in the outside world and a hundred thousand years of bitter cultivation in the Middle Thousand Worlds, he had consumed all of his Merit Point balance, including the Merit Points he had gained during this period.
“Three hundred and thirty million cavern heavens, the Guardian Sword Dao has also taken another step forward from its initial entry, and most critically, the remaining few Noble Divine Principles have all been cultivated to great completion.”
Feeling the terrifying power within his body, Lin Chen couldn’t help but show a hint of intoxication on his face.
The current him was more than several times more powerful than the self before the seclusion.
If he were to face the Bloodthirsty Demon Palace Lord again, he would be able to defeat him even without the power of the Sword of Eternity, and if he were to add the power of the Sword of Eternity, it was estimated that he wouldn’t even be able to resist a single move from him.
“Today’s Lin Family can bring me 6300 merit points a year, 10,000 years is 63 million merit points, and this is still a conservative estimate.”
“Based on the consumption of three merit points to open up a complete Cave Heaven, as long as I accumulate 450 million merit points I can open up the Cave Heaven to 480 million, reaching the limit of the Realm Lord Realm .”
“That means that even if the merit points derived from the Lin family don’t progress at all, I only have to wait for 70,000 years at most.”
“However, if I add in the constant stream of forces that have defected over and the merits from the fusion continents as well as the intermittent sermon merits, and then count the increase in qi points derived from the Lin family every year, I might actually not even use 40,000 years.”
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chen’s gaze was as if he had seen through the layers of space to the large and small continents that littered the outside of the Yan Huang Continent, and a hint of a smile could not help but flash through his eyes.
Ever since he had overthrown the Bloodthirsty Demon Palace, because of his feat.
Many forces and powerhouses with passionate hearts had defected over, especially on the Southeast Domain side, where the forces that had previously been oppressed by the Bloodthirsty Demon Hall and Bloodthirsty Demon Palace were even more so.
They would cross the distant distance of tens or even hundreds of light years without paying a huge price to relocate the forces they were in to the vicinity of the Yanhuang Continent.
And aside from this, there were quite a few forces and powerhouses that had been attracted over because of his ‘Martial Saint’ name.
As the saying goes, it’s good to have a big tree at your back.
With their strength base to defect to those supreme great sects and eldritch families that were high up in the sky, they couldn’t say it was bad, but they were definitely at the bottom of that big ship, and it was still hard to climb upwards, and once they encountered any big crisis, they were still likely to be placed at the frontline of a big war.
This was something they were unwilling to do.
However, under the great crisis of the invasion of the Demon Race, if they didn’t join a great power, there was no way for them to survive, and at this time, Lin Chen’s name of Martial Saint spread out, and it instantly brightened up their eyes.
After some inquiries, there was the scene of today’s explosion.
“Good fellow, six large continents, thirty-six medium-sized continents and more than a hundred small continents, if this is all fused into the Yanhuang Continent, wouldn’t it be possible to advance to the super continent level?”
After so many years of development, the Yan Huang Continent had more than doubled in size from when it was first promoted to a large continent, and had long since ceased to exist as the bottom of the large continents.
And although these six large continents did not have a top-notch existence, and it could even be said that the strongest one was just a little bit better than today’s Yan Huang Continent, but with the support of thirty-six medium-sized continents as well as more than a hundred small continents, it was not impossible to rush up to the super continent level.
“The last time the Yan Huang Continent was promoted to a large continent it rewarded me with twenty million merit points, if it was promoted to a super continent that reward shall not be doubled ten times or even dozens of times?”
“If we add in the qi supply from the major powers…”
Swish.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Chen couldn’t sit still and disappeared into the Middle Thousand Worlds with a flash of his body.
After some conversation and deliberation with the top echelons of the major powers.
Soon, a ninety-nine-story high Heaven Sacrificing Dao Platform stood in the center of the current Yan Huang Alliance’s base camp, the Central Imperial City.
After some solemn prayers, all the major powers officially joined the big family of the Yan Huang Alliance.
And a series of system beeps came from Lin Chen’s mind.
[Congratulations to the host’s family for obtaining the Yan Huang Alliance’s Liu Family’s Qi Provision, and harvesting 21,010 Merit Points.]
[Congratulations to the host family for obtaining the Qi Feeding of the Yan Huang Alliance’s Hao Ran Sect, harvesting 867497 Merit Points.]
[…]
A series of hundreds of beeps made Lin Chen’s heart burst with joy.
In this twinkling of an eye, he had gained more than eighty million merit points.
However, this was just the beginning.
The big head, was still on the Heavenly Dao rewards after fusing the continents.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his figure flickered slightly, and he arrived in the sky above the Yan Huang Continent, a vast aura spreading out from him at once, enveloping the Yan Huang Continent as well as the hundreds of continents around it in an instant.
Then, amidst the shocked gazes of countless living beings.
A giant hand that covered the entire continent suddenly pierced through the clouds, pushing the continents to a position that was close to the Yan Huang Continent.
The living beings in these continents only felt a dizzy spell, and then just opened their eyes to see the Yanhuang Continent, which was only one step away from them.
This horrible scene, look at the beings that is dumbfounded, mind trance.
“I rub, this is what means, such a large continent, instantly moved to the edge of the Yan Huang continent not to mention, actually did not set off a ripple?”
“Worthy of being my Yan Huang Alliance Alliance Master, this means, the name of Martial Saint is well deserved!”
“Hundreds of continents, of which there are also six large continents, even if I counted all the generations of ‘Martial Saints’, I have never heard of any of them possessing such terrifying means.”
“The Lin Family’s old ancestor is definitely a terrifying existence that shakes the ancient world.”
“Being born in this era, that is, it’s both a sorrow and an honor for all the heavenly prides, to be able to witness the rise of such a demon is a blessing in itself.”
“.”
There are some things that one can only know the horror of only when they feel it.
For example, these new powerhouses who had joined the Yan Huang Alliance originally didn’t have a concrete concept of Lin Chen’s strength, but now, they did.
To push hundreds of continents with a wave of his hand, among which there was no shortage of large continents, and without splashing a single ripple, this kind of greatness, even if all of them were all added together, it was impossible for them to be a match for someone else.
It could even be said that this in itself was something that surpassed what an ordinary Sector Lord Realm Perfection powerhouse could do.
However, the more powerful the means Lin Chen displayed, the happier they were.
The reason for joining the Yan Huang Alliance was to resist the catastrophe of the demonic invasion in itself, and being able to have a powerful ally sitting in their midst, the greater their chances of surviving the upcoming catastrophe would be.
“Continent, Hop.” Just as the beings had different thoughts, an overbearing roar suddenly resounded in their ears.
Looking up, they looked.
Only to see that, as the words of this Dao had just fallen, an incomparably terrifying force suddenly poured out from Lin Chen’s hands, and a brilliant light instantly covered all the borders bordering the Yanhuang Continent, and the terrifying power of the earth’s veins tumbled over as if it were a true dragon of the ancient times tumbling over its own enormous body, causing all these continents not to tremble violently.
It was also at this time.
An incomparably terrifying soul force instantly spread out from Lin Chen’s body, pouring into the dozens of borders bordering the Yanhuang Continent underneath, and began to comb through and renew the earth vein force between the continents.
Rumble.
As this power surged into the many continents, these continents first shook violently before gradually calming down.
The hundreds of continents that had originally surrounded the Yan Huang Continent were perfectly linked together.
“The continent fusion has succeeded.”
Looking at the Yanhuang Continent in front of them, which could not be seen at a glance, the beings were pleasantly surprised in their hearts.
It was at this moment that the winds suddenly rose above the nine heavens
Wisps of golden-yellow light immediately fell from the nine heavens above, condensing a golden light pillar ranging in size from tens of zhang to thousands of zhang.
Then, these pillars of meritorious light split into two.
Fifty percent of them fell onto Lin Chen’s body, while the other fifty percent fell into the Yan Huang Continent under the feet of all beings.
[Congratulations to the host, fusing the continent, combing and repairing the earth veins successfully, and obtaining a reward of Heavenly Dao merit from the True Martial Great World.]
[Congratulations to the host, obtaining 160 million merit points.]
“It’s a pity that it actually didn’t break through to the super continent level.”
Looking at the number on his personal panel, where his merit point balance had broken through to the 240 million mark, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel some pity in his heart.
If the Yanhuang Continent was able to advance to the Super Continent level, then it was even possible for him to have gathered the merit points needed to open up 480 million Cave Heavens.
“However, it’s not a big problem.”
He naturally had more ways to earn merit points than just this, although it was said that with the Lin Family’s current situation, he would be able to derive enough merit points after waiting for a few tens of thousands of years, however, he couldn’t wait.
He had to open up the 480 million cave heavens as early as possible and then attempt to break through to the Transcendent Realm.
Only if he stepped into this realm before the invasion of the Devil Clan did he have some power to defend himself.
If not, with enough merit points in his hands, he would be able to utilize the system’s Equivalent Exchange function to temporarily boost his strength in times of danger.
Thus, after the welcome celebration, Lin Chen stepped into the Middle Thousand Worlds once again.
This time, he didn’t immediately close the door to cultivate.
Instead, he brought together many of the Lin Family’s strongest members.
“Next, I will open up a cultivation area in this region that is a hundred times as long as the passage of time in the outside world lasts for ten thousand years… All you guys have to do is to work hard to raise your cultivation level, and when the cultivation effect of this area disappears, head to the True Martial World for me and poke around in the distribution of the major forces of the Demon Race…”
Lin Chen spoke in great detail, and it also allowed the many Lin Clan powerhouses to realize his intentions with a turn of their minds.
Naturally, they wouldn’t refuse.
Instead, they were all excited and patted their chests in assurance, “We will live up to our Old Ancestor’s trust.”
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Lin Chen did not say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, he spent fifty million merit points to open up a cultivation area capable of sustaining ten thousand years, with the passage of time being a hundred times that of the outside world.
Then, without waiting for the crowd to react, he disappeared into thin air.
“We respectfully send off the Old Ancestor.”
Seeing this scene, a trace of excitement immediately surfaced on the faces of many Lin Family powerhouses.
Then they hurriedly walked into this cultivation area.
A hundred times the passage of time, lasting ten thousand years ah.
This almost meant that they had a million years of cultivation time.
It was enough to produce a sky-rocketing change in their cultivation.
“Hahahaaha with my Intermediate Saint Body’s qualifications, how can I say I’ll be able to advance to the Realm Lord realm in a million years?”
“Worthy of being an Old Ancestor, making a big move.”
“I also don’t know if this area has any effect on Sector Lord realm powerhouses, if it does, that would be great.”
“It should be unlikely, this world has only just been promoted to a middle thousand world, wanting to reverse time to transform a cultivation area suitable for the Realm Lord realm is a bit of a burden on the world’s origin, even if the old ancestor has monstrous means, he probably won’t do it, the cost is too great.”
“Not bad.”
“.”
Sensing the change in their surroundings, the many Lin Clan powerhouses present couldn’t help but murmur excitedly.
It took a while to suppress the excitement within themselves.
Then one after another began to cultivate.
For a while, the sky of the entire area once again returned to its previous calmness, leaving only the sound of a torrent of aura whistling in the air.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
“After they come out of seclusion, my Lin Family should have quite a few more Sector Lord Realm powerhouses, right? It wouldn’t be much of a danger for such cultivation to investigate the distribution sites of the major forces of the Demon Race.”
In fact, with the current situation in the True Martial World, even with their cultivation level at this time, it wouldn’t be much of a danger to go and investigate the distribution sites of the major forces of the Devil Race.
After all, with the Bloodthirsty Demon Palace being destroyed by Lin Chen, coupled with the restoration of the Heavenly Dao Origin, it had caused quite a number of supreme great sects and long-lived families to begin to make frequent appearances in the True Martial Great World, frightening those demonic powerhouses into cowering in their own palaces, and not daring to be as high-profile as they had been before.
Under these circumstances, even though the major forces of the Demon Race knew that there were forces investigating them, the first thought in their minds was not to retaliate, but to hide and go deeper into hiding.
However, after all, the Cave Heaven Realm was just the Cave Heaven Realm, and this kind of powerhouse might be fine investigating the demonic forces in the Southeast Domain, but investigating the demonic forces in the other eight frontiers would be a bit out of their reach.
Because, the distance was too far.
With the speed of a Cave Heaven realm powerhouse, even the nearest eastern and southern domains would have to travel hundreds or even thousands of years in the void one after another, not to mention the other domains that were even farther away.
And there was still time to investigate.
In comparison, a Boundary Lord Realm powerhouse was different.
Cave Heaven realm powerhouses needed to spend hundreds or even thousands of years traveling, but for Realm Lord realm powerhouses, they only needed to spend ten or eight years or even less time.
Most crucially, the efficiency of a Realm Master realm powerhouse in investigating the major forces of the Demon Race was also many times higher than the Cave Heaven realm.
Sharpening the sword is not a mistake.
Only when there was a give and take could there be a gain. (End of chapter)
