Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 725 Cultivation is Difficult! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the bedroom, Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze radiating golden light.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling the stale air from my chest, I felt a sense of relief.

Joining the Primordial Holy Land is unlike the college entrance examination. Even top universities will constantly offer better conditions to attract geniuses, leading to competition for them.

The three holy lands are extremely aloof and don't particularly care about geniuses like them.

All geniuses are treated equally; it's good enough to be included.

However, the three holy lands have the right to be aloof.

The power created by the supreme being, the most powerful force in the entire universe.

He currently only knows the Five Realms of the Universe, while the Supreme Realm is several realms higher than the Five Realms.

Lin Qi thought to himself that he had now joined the Primordial Holy Land.

Next, we just need to wait for official confirmation that people from the Holy Land will come to pick him up.

"drop!"

Suddenly his phone vibrated. He opened it and saw a text message had been sent.

The text message came from his virtual network account.

He clicked on it and saw that a huge sum of money had been deposited into his account.

[Mr. Lynch, your bounty of 3 million Deep Space Coins for killing Kanlo has been credited to your account!]

[Deep Space Coins +30,000,000]

Upon seeing this, Lin Qi immediately smiled.

With 300 million Deep Space Coins in his account, he became wealthy again.

After paying off a loan of 50 million and a bonus of 170 million, he now has less than 40 million left.

With the addition of 300 million, he now has over 330 million Deep Space Coins.

It can be described as a huge sum of money!
"Cultivation at the Star Realm requires even more resources than at the Sky Soaring Realm!"

"To break through the three realms of the universe, we must possess more source energy crystals."

Lin Qi silently opened the War House website, browsing through it while also making plans in his mind!

Compared to a few years ago, the War House now contains many more medicines and rare medicinal herbs.

Meanwhile, the number of energy crystals is also increasing. He bought 80 crystals before, and they are still not sold out.

Lynch began purchasing energy crystals.

To join the cultivation process and make rapid progress, one must take medicines and rare and precious herbs.

Currently, energy crystals remain the most common cultivation resource.

He spent several hundred million Deep Space Coins and used one or two hundred Source Energy Crystals to cultivate the Sky Soaring Realm.

The second realm of the universe is a major realm, requiring even more source energy crystals.

Three hundred million Deep Space Coins may not be useful.

With that in mind, Lin Qi immediately placed an order for 200 Source Energy Crystals.

【drop! 】

[Payment successful! You have purchased 200 Source Energy Crystals, totaling 2 million Deep Space Coins!]

[Due to the high price of the Source Energy Crystal you purchased, please proceed to the Imperial Capital...]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information that popped up on the panel and smiled with satisfaction.

He now has 200 Source Energy Crystals!

That's enough for him to continue cultivating for a very long time.

Although he successfully broke through to the second realm of the universe, the "Golden Emperor's Secret Manual" has been completely perfected.

This cultivation technique accompanied him through three important realms: the Blood Exchange Realm, the Acupoint Refinement Realm, and the Sky Soaring Realm.

Once you reach the second level of the universe, this technique becomes inadequate.

If he's willing, he can most likely purchase the subsequent cultivation techniques at Wanda Pavilion.

However, he has now entered a supreme power and is able to cultivate better techniques.

How could he possibly be practicing the techniques from the Myriad Laws Pavilion?

It does not contain the most advanced core techniques of the Blazing Sun Star.

Even a star field overlord like Lieyang Star might not possess cultivation techniques as sophisticated as those of the Primordial Holy Land.

Looking at it this way, Wanda Pavilion's martial arts manual is at least two levels below.

It would be better to wait until you officially join the Primordial Holy Land before starting to purchase cultivation techniques.

He specifically set aside 3000 million Deep Space Coins to purchase new cultivation techniques.

Even if they are sold separately, it would be enough.

However, it is said that there is a newcomer gift package, so it shouldn't be necessary for him to spend money to buy the cultivation method himself, right?
Therefore, he can also cultivate using source energy crystals recently, but his cultivation speed is not as fast as that of geniuses who cultivate top-level techniques.

However, this process will not last too long.

……

The fourth day of the Spring Festival, Beijing, headquarters of the Chiqiong Martial Arts Hall.

Inside the luxurious main office of the magistrate.

Lin Qi, clad in black and gold armor, accepted the metal box from the Crimson Emperor and expressed his gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Master!"

"It's still the Spring Festival period, you don't need to come in person!"

The Crimson Emperor laughed, "These are 200 Source Energy Crystals! I'm tempted!"

"I don't trust anyone else to do it!"

"With these source energy crystals, your strength will be able to advance even further!"

"By the way, of the three holy lands, which one did you join?"

Lin Qi nodded, put the metal box into his spatial bracelet, and replied:

"I have joined the Primordial Holy Land!"

After hearing this, the Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "The Primordial Holy Land is the strongest force of our human race. If I can make it into the top 300 in the Deep Space Genius Competition, I will also choose the Primordial Holy Land."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this and he said:

"That's wonderful! With your talent, Master, entering the three holy lands is no problem at all, and you can even compete for the championship."

“We’ve all entered the Primordial Holy Land, so I’ve made some acquaintances here.”

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "You overestimate me."

"My competitors are all old monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years!"

"Although the rules stipulate that only martial artists under the second level of the universe who are under 1000 years old can participate."

Even so, it's still much longer than my cultivation period.

"I've only been at the second level of the universe for less than ten years, and I'm far behind them!"

Lynch nodded. So, only those under 1000 years old can participate!

He thought that as long as one was in the second realm of the universe, they could participate in the competition.

It seems that the requirements of the three holy lands are still very strict. You can't just join if you want to; you must have top-notch talent.

However, with the Crimson Emperor's talent, even if he hadn't reached his peak, he could still enter the Holy Land by relying on his physical strength.

Few geniuses at the Star Realm level can rival him.

After all, special cases like the Red Emperor are extremely rare.

Most star-domain level geniuses will not stay in the second realm of the universe.

If you have talent, you'll be able to demonstrate it in the Sky Soaring Realm, and other major powers won't let you get away with it.

With a little training, they can reach the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm, making it easy for them to join the three holy lands.

Therefore, deep space geniuses in the second realm of the universe rarely possess star-domain level geniuses; it may take dozens of years for one to emerge.

……

"boom!!"

The fighter jets landed in the courtyard of House No. 5.

Lin Qi walked out, accompanied by Dean Yao Chen.

The tall and imposing Dean Yaochen slowly opened his mouth and smiled:
"Lin Qi, you have now chosen to join the Primordial Holy Land!"

"Then it is very likely that I will be the one to escort you to the Primordial Holy Land next."

"The three holy lands dispatched top-tier spaceships to the Blazing Sun Star Region long ago, waiting for the geniuses of the star region to make their decisions."

"Then we can send them all to the three holy lands!"

"And at the same time, an escort team will be formed in the star system!"

“It just so happens that I am also a genius of the Primordial Holy Land. I barely made it into the Primordial Holy Land back then.”

"It's a pity I've been stuck at the fourth level of the universe and haven't been able to break through. Thinking about it now, it's really embarrassing!"

Yao Chen sighed as he finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi also took a deep breath, feeling quite surprised.

Dean Yaochen is actually a member of the Primordial Holy Land. Including Supervisor Xiyuan, he has already met two.

Could it be that he is truly destined to be connected with the Primordial Holy Land?

They encountered members of the same faction.

If it really was Dean Yaochen escorting me, then that's quite good; at least he's someone I know.

After the chat ended, Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room.

He remained seated cross-legged, ready to begin his cultivation!
"Buzz!"

Two metal boxes appeared, and when opened, they revealed 201 source energy crystals radiating golden light.

He hasn't had a proper chance to cultivate since his breakthrough.

He controlled his mental power, wrapping it around a crystal of source energy like tentacles.

At the same time, the internal energy on his body began to envelop him, piercing through the source energy crystal.

It was as if an opening had been made, and the source energy within was released. Lin Qi controlled the vast source energy within, which entered his body like strands of golden ribbons.

The golden ribbon entered Lynch's body through his pores, including his mouth and nose.

The billions of cells in the body have evolved from kittens into tigers, with their ability to devour food greatly enhanced.

The source energy that surged into the body was instantly absorbed by them.

The cells absorb the source energy and immediately begin to evolve and transform.

Even without further cultivation techniques, as long as one continues to absorb source energy, one can continue to grow stronger.

However, without the cultivation method, one may be unable to cultivate the source core, break the shackles, and advance to the next realm.

Lin Qi guided the source energy, integrating it into his body and finally converging it into the golden source core.

During this process, the source energy became slightly stronger, but it was not noticeable unless you were very careful.

Lin Qi continued to absorb the source energy and slowly began his cultivation.

Half a day has passed.

A glow appeared on Lynch's body.

As the source energy crystals turned into light spots and dissipated, they were completely absorbed by him.

"It's only been 6 hours, and it's already fully absorbed!"

"This speed is even faster than I expected!"

Lin Qi glanced at the time on the wall and thought to himself.

He was secretly alarmed; as he broke through, his cultivation speed increased rapidly. Previously, it would have taken him several days to absorb a single source energy crystal.

But now it's absorbed in just a few hours.

[You have absorbed a Source Energy Crystal, increasing your physical strength and health points by 500.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 13 million → 13.07 million]

……

Lin Qi fell silent after seeing the increase in his Qi and Blood value.

One Source Energy Crystal can only increase your health by 500.

It looks like a lot, but to break through the third realm of the universe, you need millions of Qi and Blood Points.

In the past few days, he has only increased his Qi and Blood value by 200 through his own cultivation.

This is incredibly inefficient!

To speed things up, you can only consume more Source Energy Crystals.

However, energy crystals are not cheap!

From this perspective, even hundreds or thousands of source energy crystals wouldn't be enough.

"Without a top-tier source energy cultivation technique, the cultivation speed is really slow!"

Lin Qi shook his head, recalling how the efficiency of absorbing source energy had greatly increased each time he changed his cultivation method.

And if he's not mistaken.

If one were to travel to the Primordial Holy Land, the concentration of source energy there might far exceed that of Earth, or even the Trial Planet.

As the number one power among humans, he guessed that absorbing the surrounding source energy might only be slightly less effective than absorbing source energy crystals.

If that's the case, he might not even need to buy source energy crystals later on.

However, these are all just his guesses and are not accurate enough.

With that in mind, he took out another source energy crystal and began absorbing it.

……

Two more days passed slowly.

This day, in the virtual world of the universe.

In a spacious courtyard, a dozen or so figures gathered together and talked.

The burly, resolute-faced King of Mountains and Rivers slowly spoke:

"The Deep Space Genius Competition is over. Those of us who didn't join the supreme forces and lack talent can only stay on Earth."

"But this is good too. With the Blazing Sun Academy around, there is hope for breaking through to the second and third realms of the Universe Realm in the future."

The purple-clad overlord also spoke:

“Although we did not join the supreme power, Dean Yaochen invited the three of us to Lieyang Star, where we can receive better training.”

"After two or three hundred years of honing my skills, I might be able to enter a supreme power."

Lin Qi nodded. The three of them—Overlord, Ice Emperor, and Ganges Venerable—had not received much training.

If they are given a little more time, they will be able to comprehend the power of laws and have a chance to enter the supreme forces.

Unfortunately, they will all be over 100 years old by the next time and will be unable to participate in the Sky Realm competition.

At this moment, the God of War slowly spoke:

"I have decided to go to the Starry Sky Sword Court, one of the six supreme powers."

"This level of strength is very friendly to geniuses who cultivate swordsmanship, and it suits me very well."

At this moment, Sun Sheng also spoke up:

"I've decided to go to the Desolate Martial Hall. The various combat manuals there are excellent and perfect for me!"

Li Tianxing also spoke up: "Although I am a mentalist, I plan to go to the Eternal Radiance Divine Kingdom."

Lin Qi sighed, "Everyone went to different forces, and they were scattered in different star systems."

"The distance is too great, and in the future, we can only meet in the virtual world."

Sun Sheng shook his head and said, "Didn't we meet before in the virtual world?"

"In the Deep Space Genius Competition, everyone is on a virtual network."

"In reality, we've only met a handful of times!"

After hearing this, Lin Qi suddenly realized, "It seems that's indeed the case."

"It seems that everyone is heading to the faction just like usual."

The others nodded in agreement; everyone shared the same view.

Even if they are in different places, as long as there is a virtual network, they can gather together to chat at any time.

……

A moment later, in Martial Arts Room, Residence No. 5.

Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw strands of golden threads flowing into his body from the surrounding air.

The energy crystals have completely dissipated.

"After reaching the second level of the universe, one can absorb source energy crystals on their own, and there is no need to absorb them specifically."

"I can devote more time to the virtual world of the universe to improve my martial arts skills."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

[You have consumed one Source Energy Crystal, increasing your physical strength and health by 500!]

[Qi and Blood Value: 13.1 → 13.15!]

……

Lin Qi nodded secretly, and continued to improve in this way.

Although he has now broken through to the second level of the universe realm, his strength is still too weak.

At the same time, he could feel that a lot of golden divine light had accumulated between his eyebrows.

The previous losses have already been largely recovered.

Lin Qi nodded secretly.

"drop!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chan appeared beside him, and a large blue screen popped up in front of him.

"Master, a message from the Deep Space Institute."

Lin Qi looked at the big screen.

[Martial artist Lin Qi, are you willing to join the Primordial Holy Land?]

[Once the decision is made, the result cannot be changed. Please choose carefully!]

Lin Qi looked at the content on the big screen.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately chose "Yes".

【Selection completed! 】

[Congratulations to martial artist Lin Qi on joining the Primordial Holy Land and becoming its 289th... peripheral member.]

Please fill in your address, and we will immediately arrange for a spaceship to escort you to the holy site...

After seeing this, Lin Qi began filling in the address.

[The Fiery Sun Starfield, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Solar System, Earth.]

Once he had made the decision, he immediately let out a breath.

Seeing this long string of numbers, even though the entire human territory consists of 108 star systems, there are more than 200 contestants in a single Deep Space Genius Tournament.

Billions of years later, even the three holy lands had absorbed over a hundred million peripheral members.

That's far too many.

They are all top geniuses among top geniuses; who knows how many more geniuses will be born.

too exaggerated.

From this perspective, his talent doesn't seem to be the most outstanding.

Thinking about this, he also began to feel a sense of anticipation.

Perhaps he will meet even more powerful geniuses in the Primordial Holy Land.

Competing with geniuses also greatly improves him, fully stimulating his talent and allowing him to rapidly advance in his realm.

……

At the very moment Lynch made this determination, the entire universe began to change.

A spaceship has started up and is heading to Earth.

"The last genius in the Blazing Sun Starfield has appeared; it's Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization!"

"He did indeed choose to join our Primordial Holy Land, and his choice was not wrong!"

"This year, quite a few geniuses from the Blazing Sun Starfield have joined the Primordial Holy Land."

"I heard he was assassinated by the Shadow Assassins, but he was able to kill them in return."

"He's really good, a promising talent with unlimited potential."

A powerful expert from the fourth realm of the universe spoke up.

Meanwhile, inside the spaceship, several figures showed different expressions upon hearing that it was Lin Qi.

"I never expected it to be Lin Qi!"

"It seems we'll be competing against each other for a long time to come!"

……

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival holiday is over.

Countless people chose to leave home and start working.

The courtyard of Residence No. 5, inside the spaceship.

A large blue screen was projected in front of Yao Chen.

"Yaochen, this time you will escort the geniuses of our Blazing Sun Star Region to the Primordial Holy Land!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a cold face, deep eyes, a vast aura, and wearing a dark red robe.

Yao Chen said earnestly, "I understand!"

"I will protect Lynch!"

"By the way, I suspect that Qin Ling from Blue Star is also a Star Domain-level genius."

"If possible, we need to leave a being at the fourth level of the universe to protect his safety."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man opposite him became tense and fell silent.

After a moment, the other party finally spoke:

"Let Yao Ying stay behind to protect Qin Ling. Keep his information hidden for now and observe his performance in the Deep Space Genius Tournament."

Yao Chen nodded after hearing this.

He felt much more relieved after turning off the blue screen.

"Two star-domain level geniuses, it's truly astonishing."

"The civilization on Earth is truly remarkable; perhaps it is hiding some secrets."

While he was talking to himself.

"Ok?"

Suddenly he frowned.

Something is approaching the solar system!
