Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 384 The Arrival of the Heavenly Silence Palace

After the King of Light left, Lin Qing began to go into seclusion to process the gifts given to him by his fellow disciples.

Aside from the gifts he could actually use, he planned to exchange the rest of the gifts for points at the Chaos Trading Company, which he could then use to buy what he needed.

In the end, Lin Qing left behind two Chaos Treasures, the Momentary True God, a branch of the Cosmic Tree, the Heavenly Pillar of the Realm, two sets of the first bloodline of Chaos creatures, a pass token for a Chaos Wonder, a set of materials for cultivating the "Cosmic Calamity Body", and two sets of precious materials to increase the foundation of the Eternal Treasure... these twelve gifts.

As for the other gifts, they were exchanged for over a hundred billion points at the Chaos Merchant Guild.

They then purchased chaotic materials for cultivating eternal treasures, as well as a large number of chaotic rare treasures for cultivating Mind Walker avatars and Momentary True God avatars.

The cost of cultivating the Eternal Treasure Set was indeed astonishing. Lin Qing also wanted to cultivate it to the Pillar-level Treasure level, so he specially selected the best quality materials and spent more than 30 billion points to cultivate his natal treasure to the ultimate Eternal level.

The Spirit Walker's clone has entered a mature stage.

Later on, the expenses weren't too high; spending 15 billion points to buy three drops of 'Water of Divine Resentment' was enough.

After the True God of Moment was transformed into an avatar, although it had to be nurtured from infancy, as a normal chaotic being, it was not as precious as the Mind Walker's avatar, which required rare and valuable mental resources. From infancy to peak, it only required a total of 16 billion points to nurture it.

Once the True God of Moments matures, he will possess considerable combat power at the peak of the Eternal Realm. The key is his unique talent in the ability of 'time freeze', which can assist him in battle.

"Only one clone slot remains."

In the specially created independent space-time, Lin Qing sat cross-legged, looking at his four clones, and couldn't help but smile.

The power of the Eternal Gate grants one clone slot in each of the five stages: Awakening, Primordial, Star, Void, and Chaos.

The 'illusory' clone takes on the position of the chief god in the main universe.

The Black Flame Avatar inherited the second-generation bloodline of the Chaos Lord 'Burning Universe Lord', and also possesses the powerful talents of the Demon Race.

The Mind Walker's clone is skilled in various mental techniques and can also amplify his mental will.

The True God of Moment is skilled in the field of time stillness. Because his talent is pure present-time rules, he is naturally very close to present-time rules, which also helps him comprehend present-time rules.

The final Gate of Eternity is currently still an avatar of the Blood Cauldron King. In order to make it easier to destroy and rebuild the Gate of Eternity in the future, he deliberately did not improve the life level of the Blood Cauldron King avatar, and it remains at the level of a low-level chaotic being.

At his current level, the Eternal Gate, which only nurtures low-level chaotic beings, can be rebuilt in just a few years.

"We're just waiting for the Nine-Hearted Sage's clone..."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "If I really can't find the Nine-Hearted Sage, or if I don't have the chance to turn it into an avatar, then finding the juvenile form of a chaotic creature like the 'Silent Sage' or the 'Ice Banyan Sage' wouldn't be bad either..."

In the endless chaos, there are very few chaotic creatures that are called 'wise men', and each of them possesses astonishing wisdom.

Even fewer of these can help humans comprehend the rules of spacetime, and their help is not exaggerated.

The best choice is still the Nine-Heart Wise One.

"It just depends on luck."

Lin Qing shook her head slightly and continued to nurture her natal treasure.

As time accelerated, hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the aura emanating from the natal treasure became increasingly heavy and silent. Its size also increased by more than ten times compared to the past, reaching a height of trillions of miles, and the surrounding space-time was completely frozen.

This terrifying power could probably crush a large group of eternal beings with just the slightest movement.

Moreover, after absorbing two portions of Chaos Treasures that enhanced his foundation, the quality of his natal treasure also improved.

Although it's still a long way from becoming a pillar-level cosmic treasure, it's at least a first step.

"There are 50 billion points remaining."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "These points can be used to cultivate the Mountain and Sea Realm. First, I'll nurture the people I value to the Transcendent Realm, guide them to the King Realm, and then send them to the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom..."

Forcibly cultivating an ordinary void being to the level of a chaotic being would come at an extremely high cost, something that most high-level chaotic beings wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Even if it existed forever, it would still hurt to spend the money.

However, he is no longer comparable to ordinary eternal beings; he can easily receive a batch of gifts that would make most eternal beings envious to the point of madness.

It's not too difficult to cultivate a sense of detachment in your relatives and friends.

"I'll go back to the Mountain and Sea Realm after a while, and take another look at the heart of the Nine-Hearted Sage."

After making a rough plan, Lin Qing continued his seclusion.

During this time, he kept his Mind Walker clone at a hundred times the speed of time acceleration. Although the consumption was astonishing, requiring a Chaos Origin Crystal every year, he did not care about the cost.

As time accelerated, another hundred years passed. After absorbing the essence of twenty-four cosmic tree branches, Lin Qing's inner world expanded to a diameter of nearly 47.9 billion kilometers.

With the addition of the nine Heavenly Pillars that guard the realm, their combat power has increased several times over, even beyond their current limits.

Several thousand years have passed.

"The Cosmic Body Technique has also been cultivated to its perfect state."

Lin Qing slowly suppressed the terrifying aura emanating from his body that nearly caused the collapse of space and time, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly: "The secret technique created by the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, once cultivated to perfection, is truly much stronger than the supreme secret technique..."

……

Time flies, and more than three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Qing emerged from seclusion.

"Mr. Lin Qing came out so quickly?"

Xinglianhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems you've already digested the spoils from last time? Mr. Lin Qing's chaotic creature avatar should be in the late stage of maturity by now, right?"

After killing Marquis Jueyuan, Marquis Cangliu, and two black-robed saints last time, Lin Qing owned more than 90% of the spoils.

According to his estimate, even for a rare mind-type chaotic creature, such a large sum of money would be enough to cultivate Lin Qing's chaotic creature clone to the late stage of maturity.

"Pretty much." Lin Qing smiled as well.

"I can rest assured that."

Xing Lianhou also showed a hint of relief, "Mr. Lin Qing's suppression power must be even stronger with that terrifying 'Great Extinction of the Illusory World' combined with an even stronger mental will."

At this moment, the Flame Devouring Python, which had transformed into a small crimson snake, emerged from Xing Lianhou's sleeve and shook its little head: "If that's the case, we might even be able to fight against ordinary peak Eternal Realm experts. Not bad, not bad."

It already possessed strength approaching that of a peak Eternal Realm expert, so it was naturally confident of fighting against a peak Eternal Realm expert who could only unleash a small portion of their power.

"We still need to be cautious." Xing Lianhou's face relaxed a bit, but he still said cautiously, "We can usually handle peak Eternal Realm experts, but if we encounter those truly terrifying peak Eternal Realm experts, then we'll be in trouble."

"It can't be that bad," the Devouring Flame Python muttered. "Those kinds of experts were the backbone of the nation even during the Divine Kingdom War. Why would they get involved in a small-scale regional war?"

That being said, who knows?

Marquis Xinglian shook his head, then looked at Lin Qing and said, "Mr. Lin Qing, aren't you going to continue your secluded cultivation? The war between the divine kingdoms is coming soon. Wouldn't it be safer to achieve eternity sooner?"

Lin Qing smiled slightly and said, "I just noticed that you will have some distinguished guests visiting today, so I came to check it out."

"Dignified guest?"

Xinglianhou knew that Lin Qing cultivated the rules of the future and possessed chaotic beings at the eternal level, so he could even see the future of eternal powerhouses.

suddenly--

"Is Marquis Xinglian here? I am the Palace Master of Tianji Palace, and also the inspector personally appointed by His Majesty the Ice Emperor. Why don't you come to greet me immediately?"

A calm female voice came through the layers of time and space, and the spacetime techniques set up by the Holy Star Origin and Star Refining Marquis could not hinder it in the slightest!
Xinglian Hou's expression also turned solemn. He immediately looked up, his gaze piercing through time and space, and was immediately stunned to see the countless flying palaces that covered the sky outside Xinglian Sacred Star.

Countless palaces, larger than stars, floated in the starry sky outside the Holy Star, like a sky full of stars, surrounding the thousands of palaces in the central area that were hundreds or thousands of times larger.

At the very center stands a magnificent temple, hundreds of billions of kilometers high!
That majestic temple was clearly formed from an extremely terrifying eternal treasure. The aura it emitted alone permeated the endless starry sky, causing spacetime to revolve around it.

Compared to the Star Refining Sacred Star, which has a diameter of trillions of miles, the majestic temple seemed smaller, but Star Refining Marquis had no doubt—

If the Star Refining Sacred Star were to collide with this majestic temple, the final result might be that the Star Refining Sacred Star would shatter!

Even a sacred star has its limits. A peak-level eternal powerhouse could destroy a sacred star in a battle where they exert all their strength. Even if a sacred star has the ability to repair itself, it would still take hundreds of millions of years.

This majestic, temple-like eternal treasure clearly possesses the power to destroy a holy star!

"Tianji Palace?"

Xinglian Hou murmured, "Why would Tianji Palace come here?"

The Heavenly Palace is arguably the strongest force under the Ice Emperor of the Frozen Empire. It not only has tens of millions of elite soldiers of high-level chaotic beings, but also thousands of eternal beings who serve as branch palace masters!
The Palace Master of Tianji Palace is an Eternal Peak expert!
Even among the various kingdoms of the Realm of Kings, the reputation of the Heavenly Palace is quite formidable.

Such a powerful force actually came to his small Star Refining Saint Star?

Lin Qing watched quietly from the side, her eyes reflecting a series of future possibilities. She then thought to herself, "So that's how it is. This must have been instructed by Master to be done by Ice Emperor..."

"Mr. Lin Qing."

Marquis Xinglian couldn't help but look at Lin Qing, "Did the Heavenly Silence Palace come for you?"

"Part of it is my fault," Lin Qing said calmly. "My lord, don't worry, it's a good thing."

"That's good." Marquis Xinglian breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Would Mr. Lin Qing like to come with me to meet the Palace Master of Tianji Palace?"

Lin Qing thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Alright."

In fact, given his status as a direct disciple of His Majesty the King of Light, even if His Majesty the Ice Emperor of the Frozen Empire were to come in person, he would not need to go out to greet him; in fact, it should be the Ice Emperor who comes to visit him!
Not to mention he's just a palace master of Tianji Palace.

But...

His master instructed him to conceal this news for the time being and to disguise himself as a high-level chaotic being, so he naturally didn't need to put on airs.

It is only natural for a high-level chaotic being who has not yet become an apprentice to greet the lofty Palace Master of the Heavenly Silence Palace.

Immediately, Xinglianhou mobilized the power of the Holy Star's origin to carry Lin Qing out of the Holy Star and to the front of the palace complex that resembled countless stars.

"Lord Xinglian, please come into the hall for a discussion."

As a calm female voice, seemingly imbued with boundless power, resounded, the majestic temple at the very center of the palace complex also emitted boundless light, forming a winding, long staircase-like passageway leading directly into the temple's interior.

Marquis Xinglian led Lin Qing along the long steps for several hundred steps, and they passed through the space-time passage and entered a vast hall.

Inside the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in a purple-gold battle robe sat behind a table on the platform. Below, on both sides, were also magnificent tables, behind which sat an eternal being, numbering in the thousands.

An aura of eternity permeated the entire hall.

They were none other than the Palace Master of Tianji Palace and the branch hall masters of Tianji Palace.

"Lord Xinglian greets the Palace Master."

Marquis Xinglian immediately bowed respectfully. According to the system of the Frozen Empire, the rank of the Palace Master of Tianji Palace was three levels higher than that of him, the Lord of the State!
Lin Qing, who held no official position, had not been granted a title, and was not even a citizen of the Frozen Empire, simply cupped his hands in a casual gesture.

Seeing this, many eternal beings couldn't help but take a second look at him.

Even the Star Refining Marquis had to be respectful, and the origin of this high-level chaotic being following the Star Refining Marquis was unknown, yet he was so arrogant in front of the Palace Master.

Even eternal beings like them would tremble before a great figure like the Palace Master!

"Marquis Xinglian... and this must be Mr. Lin Qing, right?"

On the palace platform, the beautiful woman in the purple-gold battle robe, the 'Palace Master of Tianji Palace,' looked at Lin Qing with great interest, not caring whether Lin Qing was behaving properly.

A smile appeared on her lips. "I've heard that Mr. Lin Qing has a mind-type chaotic creature clone. Not long ago, he used the Illusionary World Annihilation Technique to kill Marquis Cangliu in an instant, and also suppressed three black-robed saints and Marquis Jueyuan from the Great Black Heaven Temple?"

Upon hearing this, many of the eternal beings below were slightly taken aback and couldn't help but be shocked, clearly only now learning of this news.

A high-level chaotic being actually has a mind-type chaotic being as an avatar, and even knows about the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World?
With such an impressive background and such a record, it's no wonder he treats the Palace Master with such an attitude.

"luck."

Lin Qing said, "Compared to the Palace Master of Tianji Palace, this is nothing."

"How many years have you been cultivating? You haven't even reached the Eternal Realm yet, how can you compare like that?" The Palace Master of Tianji Palace laughed. "No wonder His Majesty specially sent me to lead the troops to protect you, it was indeed worth it."

Although she couldn't say it out loud, she had heard His Majesty the Ice Emperor say that Lin Qing was a peerless genius chosen by the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom!
Although he has not yet passed the test of the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom and is not yet considered a disciple, even if he fails the test, he is destined to be a nominal disciple of the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom after he achieves eternity!
Even though she was a disciple of the King of Light, her status was much higher than his, and even the Ice Emperor had to treat her with respect.

Moreover, it is astonishing that such strength was displayed even in the stage of advanced chaotic beings.

"To protect me?"

Lin Qingming asked knowingly, "The Heavenly Silence Palace has come in such a grand manner, surely it's not just to protect me?"

"That's one aspect." The Palace Master of Tianji Palace smiled and said, "His Majesty the Ice Emperor knows that the Divine Kingdom War will break out in my Frozen Empire. The Changyuan Empire, which is connected to my Frozen Empire in spacetime, is also a possible target of the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom. Therefore... His Majesty has decreed that this place be used as a spacetime fortress for my Frozen Empire!"
