Chapter 1135: Chapter 5 Breakthrough (Subscription Request)_2

“Is this Hei Yu?”

A piece of dark, profound jade appeared before Lin Yuan.

Vaguely, an alluring aura circulated within it.

The next full aggregation of Hei Yu is still tens of thousands of years away, but Hei Yu here has already fully consolidated.

Currently, a small part of Hei Yu has matured early, similar to becoming ‘ripe’ ahead of time, and as the guardian, Lin Yuan naturally could extract it.

Simply by feeling the aura of Hei Yu from up close, Lin Yuan seemed to experience layers of illusions, and his spiritual will was invisibly sharpened and elevated.

“My current spiritual will index is roughly seventy million points…”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

After advancing to the Twelfth Layer, Lin Yuan’s spiritual will index surged to sixty million points.

Now, a few thousand years have passed, and his spiritual will index increased by ten million points; the speed of progress can be quite bewildering.

Seventy million points of spiritual will index completely reached the peak of the Sovereign Realm, even entering the domain of the Chaos Realm.

However, compared to Lin Yuan’s current power, merely seventy million points in spiritual will index is considered a weakness.

It should be noted that Lin Yuan’s current combat power fully matches that of an ordinary Chaos Great Saint; seventy million points in spiritual will index is quite inconspicuous among them, even weak.

Which Chaos Great Saint hasn’t gone through multiple Cosmic Eras? Their spiritual will index generally exceeded a billion.

However, the impact of spiritual will index on power is not that significant, unlike the tangible differences in physical strength.

“Next, the task of this Primordial Spirit is to refine Hei Yu as much as possible to enhance spiritual will.”

Lin Yuan looked at the floating Hei Yu before him and began refining it directly.

Instantly.

Waves of penetrating aura surged deep into Lin Yuan’s soul, invisibly refining the strength of his spiritual will.

While spiritual will strength may not be very useful during combat, it should not be too weak, especially during breakthrough attempts, where weak spiritual will could lead to failure.

The stronger one is, the more they focus on their spiritual will; Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate would rather completely offend several other Heavenly Venerates to occupy Hei Yu Nest, all to compensate for weaknesses in his spiritual will.

…

Another top-grade resource stronghold, known as Greenwave Cliff.

The acting guardian is named King Chi Kui.

Unlike Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate, King Chi Kui is a core royal who has grown to his limit.

“Hahaha, Galaxy, I just received the royal decree instructing you to take over Greenwave Cliff, and I’ve been waiting here early this morning.”

King Chi Kui was a very imposing man, with hearty laughter and boundless enthusiasm: “Come, come, this is a fine wine I’ve been saving for years. King Chibao hasn’t tasted it.”

“Chi Kui, you’re saying this right in front of me?” King Chibao rolled his eyes.

“So what if I say it face-to-face?” King Chi Kui said carelessly.

“Thank you, King Chi Kui.” Lin Yuan said next to them.

In King Chibao’s initial estimate, the most challenging of the three treasure lands Lin Yuan was supposed to take over was the Hei Yu Nest.

After all, it involves a Heavenly Venerate king, specifically the extremely domineering Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate among the Heavenly Venerates.

As for the other two resource strongholds? There wouldn’t be any problems.

The acting guardian of Greenwave Cliff is indeed one of the royal family itself.

The three of them drank fine wine and chatted for a while.

King Chi Kui then voluntarily handed over the main battle formations of Greenwave Cliff to Lin Yuan.

He then got up and left through the Space-Time Teleportation Formation.

After King Chi Kui disappeared, King Chibao laughed at the side.

“Chi Kui must feel quite frustrated inside.” King Chibao said with a smile.

“Frustrated?” Lin Yuan looked at King Chibao, his expression thoughtful.

“How could he not be? Giving up such a prime stronghold—if it weren’t for the emperor personally intervening, King Chi Kui wouldn’t have surrendered so smoothly.”

King Chibao said casually.

“Does the emperor have a great deal of prestige among the royal family?”

Lin Yuan asked.

“Do you think prime strongholds like these would fall to the hands of a royal king without deliberate favoritism from the emperor?” King Chibao asked.

“Probably not.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

If the emperor didn’t show favoritism, obtaining a prime stronghold would rely on personal power.

Even for core royals grown to their limits, when it comes to strength, at most they can hold their own against those Heavenly Venerate kings, but in an actual battle, they would certainly lose.

“Therefore, the emperor has tilted resources heavily towards the royal family, and royal powerhouses must support the emperor’s orders unconditionally.”

King Chibao said.

Those Heavenly Venerate kings, if they feel uncomfortable, might feign compliance with the royal decrees, obstructing in secret.

But the royal kings? They naturally wouldn’t dare to do so.

“I see.”

Lin Yuan realized internally.

Indeed.

To the exalted Ancestor of Fierce Sun, what’s the difference between royal, so-called Heavenly Venerates?

They’re all his own bloodline descendants, and this can be seen in how possession opportunities are also open to Heavenly Venerates.

…

“What does the emperor mean by this? Even though Galaxy might have great potential, he hasn’t truly broken the Heavenly Venerate barrier, directly bestowing Greenwave Cliff upon him? And then Hei Yu Nest as well? Isn’t this favoritism too much?”

King Chi Kui walked out of the Space-Time Teleportation Formation and entered his own residence, his expression not looking great.

When he was crowned a king, he was only bestowed with a fourth-grade treasure land.

To this day, he hasn’t guarded a truly top-grade treasure land.

Greenwave Cliff was only temporarily under his guardianship.

But now? Directly bestowing two prime strongholds to Galaxy?

Those are top-grade treasure lands; even the strongest Heavenly Venerates need to make immense contributions to earn them as rewards. While royal kings find it easier to obtain, it’s still incredibly difficult to be decreed one.

“With the emperor’s bias, what can I do?”

King Chi Kui sighed; from the perspective of the entire royal family, Galaxy Great Lord has the hope of breaking the Heavenly Venerate barrier that traps the royal family, and awarding him two top-grade treasure lands is not excessive.

But the treasure land that he worked hard to become acting guardian of, which happened to be one of these, left King Chi Kui feeling uneasy.

…

Successfully taking over two prime treasure lands, the remaining Second Layer treasure land was equally smooth.

Lin Yuan allowed the Taiyin Divine Spirit to oversee Hei Yu Nest and Greenwave Cliff, while for the Second Layer treasure land, he dispatched an avatar to oversee it.

The value of Second Layer treasure lands does not compare to prime treasure lands, and the danger is not high, making it suitable for an avatar to guard.

Even if danger arises, the avatar only needs to hold for ten or more breaths until Lin Yuan’s true form arrives to provide support.

“For the three treasure lands, aside from obtaining one-tenth of the resources produced, each ten thousand years of guardianship will earn merit rewards.”

Lin Yuan returned to his residence, calculating in his mind.

For each ten thousand years of guardianship, a top-grade treasure land will grant one hundred merit and Second Layer treasure land ten merits.

This means, from now on, Lin Yuan will gain two hundred and ten merits every ten thousand years.

While two hundred and ten merits may not seem much, it is endless; every ten thousand years, there will be an income.

Ten thousand years, to Great Lords and Heavenly Venerates, is merely a brief retreat.

Many Great Lords, Heavenly Venerates calculate their retreats in millions of years.

Ten thousand years equals two hundred and ten merits; a million years amounts to twenty-one thousand merits.

This counts as a very considerable income.

Many powerful Heavenly Venerates have fought for the Ancient Country for billions of years without guarding two prime treasure lands.

…

“Continue comprehending the Chaos Mystic Pattern Diagram.”

Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and continued to comprehend the Chaos Mystic Pattern Diagram.

Currently, the three Chaos Mystic Pattern Diagrams Lin Yuan has redeemed are adequate to comprehend the path to the Third Realm.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

“The twenty-seventh pattern diagram…”

Lin Yuan looked at a ‘diagram’ entwined with Chaos Qi.

Strands of Chaos Qi continuously formed patterns, like a certain fundamental principle of the universe, sparking inspiration and understanding in Lin Yuan’s mind.

Every strand of Chaos Qi, despite seeming ordinary, was like the Dao Origin, woven with countless complexities.

[Your enlightenment is extraordinary; viewing the Chaos Mystic Pattern Diagram significantly enhances your understanding of Chaos Rule…]

In a dazed state, the twenty-seventh pattern diagram before Lin Yuan began to clear up.

“I understand.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up, as if clearing the clouds to see the sky.
