Chapter 1321: Chapter 1320: System Space
Qin Hao glanced at the system space’s level division, now it was ten miles in radius, and the spiritual energy within the space was low-grade.
The next level of space would be one hundred miles in radius, and the spiritual energy within the space would become middle-grade, significantly increasing the cultivation speed. It required consumption of one billion merit points for space upgrade.
Qin Hao looked at his merit points. Originally, the system upgrade consumed five billion merit points, but now Qin Hao found his merit points had reached as much as fourteen billion.
What is going on?
"Xiao Ying, why are my merit points more than before the system upgrade? What’s going on?"
Xiao Ying’s voice sounded in Qin Hao’s mind: "Because the host has many statues in the Skyfire Dynasty, worshipped and revered by millions of people every day, accumulating a large amount of merit points daily. So this is what has been accumulated over this period."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao was taken aback: "Can so many merit points be obtained through the statue?"
"Exactly."
Qin Hao: "Then what about the power of faith?"
"The power of faith is not something ordinary people can obtain. Even if a statue of someone is established, he cannot obtain the power of faith unless he has a cultivation technique for the power of faith. The host can redeem a book about the application of the power of faith if interested."
Qin Hao looked through the merit mall and found faith power cultivation techniques indeed existed there.
"Human Emperor Skill" exchange price: one million merit points.
This cultivation technique’s exchange price was almost the highest. When he previously exchanged for a cultivation technique, it only cost around one hundred thousand merit points, indicating how rare faith cultivation techniques are.
Even in ancient times, faith cultivation techniques were extremely rare because it’s a different cultivation path, and very few could bring it to great success.
After Qin Hao exchanged for this cultivation technique, he also upgraded the system space. Now, he didn’t feel like this was just an ordinary system space but rather a secret realm, an alternate space, a small world.
If he continued to upgrade like this, his system space might really become a world of its own.
Two hours later, Qin Hao came out of the cultivation room.
During this half-month of closed-door cultivation, although he didn’t break through, his strength did improve slightly. Most importantly, he just acquired the cultivation technique for the power of faith and could roughly use the power of faith in his mind.
Moreover, his system space successfully upgraded in an hour, becoming one hundred miles in radius, and the spiritual energy also turned into middle-grade, much richer than before by several times.
Entering the system space with his divine sense, Qin Hao felt an indescribable feeling that this space was his, and he was the ruler of this space.
In the system space, the black flood dragon, Azure Luan Beast, firebird, and Unihorn Pegasus Beast were all there, also startled by the changes in the space. Is this creating a world?
This space had mountains, water, trees, and flowers, but it had not yet nurtured native life.
Qin Hao’s voice resonated in the space: "Cultivate well, and don’t overthink. There will be places where you will be needed in the future."
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing Qin Hao’s voice, they trembled and respectfully responded.
At this moment, Qin Hao’s voice was like the voice of heaven, carrying an invisible and powerful world pressure, which shook the heart.
The main reason was that Qin Hao is the ruler of this space, the master of this space, and here no one can resist his pressure.
...
Inside the main hall of the palace, upon exiting, Qin Hao saw Su Xuanji and Ning Ziyuan’s group of four. They too had left seclusion today because they knew tomorrow was the opening of the Heavenly Pride Competition.
Now the aura emanating from Ning Ziyuan had grown increasingly terrifying, a sensation only those of the demon race could genuinely perceive.
The reason was she had consumed the royal peacock essence blood, making her bloodline power purer, and this aura exuded from her bloodline had a natural suppression over other demon races.
Ding Jinyang, Cang Tai, and Su Xuanji all sensed this and knew in their hearts that Ning Ziyuan must have obtained the royal peacock clan’s essence blood from Qin Hao.
Thinking of these, Ding Jinyang and Cang Tai felt a bit envious and excited inside, for they too wanted to obtain essence blood.
"Mr. Qin, you’ve exited seclusion?" Su Xuanji and the others said upon seeing Qin Hao emerge.
Qin Hao nodded slightly: "The competition is starting tomorrow."
Just then Qin Hao received a transmission jade message: "Qin Hao, where are you?"
It was Wei Xianyun’s voice.
"I’m at the Southern Continent Heavenly Earth Academy’s residence, where are you and Aunt?" Qin Hao curiously asked.
Wei Xianyun: "We just entered Ancient God City. We had planned to arrive earlier, but Aunt had to run some errands."
"Then I’ll come to get you."
"No need, I’ll go with Aunt to the David Dynasty’s residence first and then come to find you," Wei Xianyun’s voice was pleasant to hear.
Qin Hao: "Alright then, I’ll come directly to your David Dynasty’s residence later. It’s not far."
After chatting for a while longer, they hung up the communication jade.
Su Xuanji spoke up: "Mr. Qin, we’ve planned to leave today."
Qin Hao was slightly taken aback upon hearing her words: "Leaving? Are you returning to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain?"
Su Xuanji and the others nodded: "Our competition over there is also about to start, and the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm is also a sacred realm for us."
Qin Hao: "Are you leaving today?"
"Yes, there’s nothing much left to do here, plus we need to go back and cultivate, and adjust our conditions," Su Xuanji responded.
Qin Hao nodded slightly and took out eight jade bottles, capturing the glimmer in Ning Ziyuan’s eyes, her breath quickened.
All eight jade bottles contained royal-grade essence blood, costing him nearly sixty million merit points.
However, the growth rate of Qin Hao’s merit points was now very fast. In just two hours, he had gained nearly ten million merit points, and by the end of the day, he’d have seventy to eighty million merit points.
"Mr. Qin, what’s this?" Ning Ziyuan was exhilarated seeing the jade bottles in his hand.
Qin Hao looked at the four and said: "These days, you have accompanied me for a long time. I also understand your thoughts. Here are two drops of royal-grade essence blood each, but I also need a favor from you all."
"Mr. Qin, just say it directly. As long as it’s within my ability, I, Cang Tai, won’t hesitate," Cang Tai eagerly said.
Ding Jinyang also said: "Mr. Qin, don’t worry. Even if it means going through fire and water, we won’t hesitate."
Su Xuanji and Ning Ziyuan also watched him, curious about what he would ask.
Qin Hao said to them: "In the southern part of the Southern Continent near the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, there is a dynasty called the Skyfire Dynasty. Do any of you know of it?"
Skyfire Dynasty?
Ning Ziyuan said: "Skyfire Dynasty? I once passed through there."
