Chapter 786: Chapter 354: Yu Gong (Part 2)
“Let’s hear it,” Yu Gong looked at her.
“That Lin Qing has been collecting Exotic Treasures containing Future Rules recently, probably because he’s hit a bottleneck.”
The exquisite woman said, “But such Exotic Treasures are extremely rare, so he will definitely go to the Star Refining Holy Star to attend the Holy Star Exchange Conference. According to tradition, when the Star Refining State Military Department selects and recruits, the rewards for high-ranking trial participants are exclusively non-tradeable ‘Star Spirit Stone Marrow,’ though they vary in quality. Lin Qing, eager to break through, will most likely participate in the military’s selection trial, then we’ll have a chance to take care of him.”
“Who do you intend to choose to deal with him?” Yu Gong asked.
“Uncle Shadow,”
The exquisite woman said, “He’s the Direct Disciple of the Blood Sea Marquis, and among Chaotic Creatures, few are stronger than him. With his power, he can easily handle Lin Qing. Besides, Uncle Flame Blood died at Lin Qing’s hands, so Uncle Shadow seeking out Lin Qing is quite normal. Although Uncle Flame Blood seemed to have noticed Lin Qing’s background and was reluctant to pursue the matter, Uncle Shadow is originally from the State Domain participating in the Ice Seal Empire campaign this time, so he has enough reason to participate in the military selection.”
She confidently stated, “Even if Lin Qing has indeed broken through to High Level Chaos Creatures over the years, in such a short time, he hasn’t had the chance to improve his Divine Skill or to Cultivate the Supreme Secret Technique. Uncle Shadow’s strength will still effortlessly seal Lin Qing.”
Yu Gong nodded slightly and said, “I’ll leave this matter to you.”
…
…
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty thousand years passed.
During Lin Qing’s period of dormancy, he secluded himself with his Avatars on different planets, quietly Cultivating in peace. It seemed that the Yu Gong had no intent on avenging Uncle Flame Blood.
This also made him slightly relieved.
It’s understandable.
Although he doesn’t know much about Yu Gong, such a notable figure should not have the need to personally deal with him over Uncle Flame Blood.
It was just the right time for the Holy Star Exchange Conference, so Lin Qing had his main Body and Black Flame Clone head to the Star Refining Holy Star.
Originally, Fushan Bo wanted to accompany him.
But considering the possible threat from Yu Gong, Lin Qing decided to decline Fushan Bo and went to the Star Refining Holy Star alone.
Though the King Realm is a Small Universe, it does not have celestial bodies like Wormholes, and the strong Cosmic Rules suppress any fast pace of space-time travel.
Even with Lin Qing’s Speed, it took him more than thirty years to reach the Star Refining Holy Star located at the center of the Star Refining State.
If he were a High Level Chaos Creature, he could have traveled much faster by using the Time River.
…
“Is this the Star Refining Holy Star?”
Lin Qing looked at the enormous star in the distance and couldn’t help but marvel in silence.
In the Main Cosmic, even the orbital diameter of a Constant Star System isn’t a patch on this Holy Star, which blocked most of his view even from several billion kilometers away.
Countless Constant Stars circled around the Holy Star like small light bulbs on a string, and lightning chains spanning billions of kilometers connected universe’s boundaries to this majestic star, emitting a dense chaotic aura.
“So the Holy Star is connected to Endless Chaos, no wonder…”
Lin Qing began to understand why Eternal Existences valued the Holy Star granted by the King Realm so highly.
This star, being connected to Chaos, is essentially a huge Treasure!
Moreover, the Eternal Existence who is said to be the Master of this Holy Star possesses attributes similar to a Master of the World, with Chaos Origin boosted by each movement, elevating their strength.
This Star Refining Holy Star is Marquis Star Refining’s fiefdom.
“Where is the Cross Realm Channel?”
Lin Qing observed carefully for a while, then finally noticed a space-time tunnel leading straight into the star, immediately flying towards it swiftly.
The surface of this Holy Star was crisscrossed with fearsome lightning chains, each one spanning billions of miles, their power frighteningly close to eternal thresholds!
Below Eternal, daring to breach through without using a Cross Realm Channel would mean death for the vast majority.
Even for Eternal Existence, being surrounded and attacked by these numerous lightning strikes would be a big hassle.
“I’m here.”
After traversing the stable space-time Cross Realm Channel for a few seconds, Lin Qing entered the Star Refining Holy Star, hovering over a sea with sparkling starlight.
On this Star Refining Holy Star, apart from this sea, other areas are Treasure Lands nurturing various Treasures. With the protection of the Holy Star Origin power, outsiders can only enter within the sea’s range; forcing entry into other areas means opposing Marquis Star Refining.
“What’s that…”
Lin Qing looked at the star-studded islands below, suddenly spotting a massive stone pillar towering heavenward in the distant sea.
Wrapped around the stone pillar was a huge red serpent!
The stone pillar stood hundreds of billions of kilometers tall, while the red serpent coiling around it covered nearly a third of its length, revealing its incredible size.
“A Chaos Creature, Swallowing Flame Python?”
Lin Qing was inwardly amazed, “It’s so immense!”
Before coming, he had learned about the Star Refining Holy Star and was naturally aware of this terrifying Chaos Creature, the Swallowing Flame Python.
It was considered a companion of Marquis Star Refining for hundreds of billions of years, its power even scarier than the Marquis himself, almost reaching the Peak among Eternal Existences.
The Swallowing Flame Python is among the most terrifying class of Chaos Creatures, coming close to Ultimate Existence, with only Chaos Lords surpassing them.
Though relatively ordinary among Chaos Creatures, the Swallowing Flame Python is still more powerful than most Eternal Existences. Stationed in the Star Refining Holy Star, along with Marquis Star Refining, the reputation of this man-serpent duo is formidable.
“The Swallowing Flame Python is this enormous…”
Lin Qing marveled inwardly.
It is said that the Inner World of an Eternal Existence can now resist the Rules suppression of the King Realm, hence their bodies can return to their original size without suppression.
When he uses World God, it also faces Rules suppression, being merely thousands of kilometers high within the King Realm. But without suppression, with his current strength, the World Divine Body could be normally ten thousand times larger.
“Star Refining Island should be over there.”
According to the gathered data, Lin Qing immediately flew towards the largest island.
Being called an island, its size actually surpassed the land area of Jueying Star, enough to be termed a continent.
“First, find a place to stay.”
Lin Qing headed directly to the Star Flame Holy Palace on Star Refining Island, and first rented a common island as his residence, with an annual rent of 3 grains of Cosmic Sand, set for a thousand years.
Though three grains of Cosmic Sand seem inexpensive, over ten thousand years, that’s thirty thousand. What about over a million years?
For outsiders, the rent on Star Refining Holy Star has always been extremely expensive.
The islands in this sea seem countless, yet the Star Refining State has innumerable elites. Just the number of High Level Chaos Creatures is unknown. Now being the Holy Star Exchange Conference period, the number of gathered elites is enormous, causing a significant rise in rental fees.
“I still have over one and a half million Cosmic Sand, not broke yet…”
Lin Qing calculated the Cosmic Sand he had and felt somewhat relieved.
Typically, having over a million Cosmic Sand makes a High-Level Chaos Creature quite wealthy, having such a fortune means either being a Peak power among Chaos Creatures, or having significant backing or exceedingly good luck.
With such wealth, unless aiming for Treasures close to eternal levels, there’s plenty to spend.
…
“Next, let’s see if there are any messages about trade fairs or auctions.”
Lin Qing meticulously checked on Star Refining Island.
With elites from all sides gathered, private trade fairs or auctions were continuously being held. Just by paying attention, one could ascertain which items were for sale.
“There really are Exotic Treasures containing Future Rules!”
Lin Qing quickly discovered relevant messages and couldn’t help but smile, immediately continuing to investigate.
As a Main God, he had a clear understanding of Time Mysteries, with a comprehensive grasp of space-time Rules, save for certain subtleties. Thus, these Exotic Treasures with a bit of Future Rules were crucial for him to break through his bottleneck.
It’s never a bad idea to gather more.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qing had lived on Star Refining Holy Star for over three hundred years.
“Almost there…”
Lin Qing played with an Exotic Treasure resembling an ancient mirror, comprehending and sensing a trace of the Future Vision Mystery hidden within.
Over these three hundred years, he’d spent nearly four million Cosmic Sand to collect sixteen Exotic Treasures imbued with Future Rules.
The insights from these sixteen treasures were indeed significant.
Lin Qing could even feel that the Future Vision Mystery seemed just a hair’s breadth from fully merging into Space Rules, forming a complete Space-Time Mystery.
He could break through the last bottleneck at any moment.
