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

Chapter 1214 8000 Years (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
It took Lin Qi several months to study all 10 unique martial arts techniques he had purchased.

I have a general understanding of the unique skills possessed by the Sovereign, and I even have a framework for them.

However, a new problem arose: he discovered that his understanding of the laws of time was insufficient to support him in creating his own unique skills.

He determined through the cultivation method "Evolution Method" that although there is an ingenious combination of formulas, it also requires a basic foundation.

He only grasped 350 of the mysteries, which was far from enough to support him in comprehending even a single move or two of the ultimate techniques.

I still need to comprehend more mysteries, at least three thousand kinds.

The law of time is of paramount importance; everything else is castles in the air and not really that important.

"Whoo~"

Lin Qi stood still and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Ultimately, true strength still comes down to cultivating the laws of time.

He sat cross-legged again and began his cultivation, putting aside the matter of creating his own unique skills for the time being.

What he needs to do now is to engage in other forms of cultivation.

For example, the cultivation of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

He has so many areas that need improvement, so he doesn't even have time to practice the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

But it is very important; it is the key to his ability to fight across borders.

The same will be true in the future.

He is currently at the level of an ordinary Overlord, but he is confident that he can kill a top-tier Overlord.

Even if one's understanding of the laws of time is insufficient, the power of the physical body serves as a safety net.

The reason he was able to become an emperor and kill the strongest alien god as easily as slaughtering a chicken was his physical strength.

It can even cross borders and kill the Overlord of Chongjun.

His extraordinary physical talent, coupled with his cultivation of the top-tier inheritance "Universe Annihilation Scripture" created by the Master of the Deep Space Academy, made him a formidable force.

Among the celestial deities, their physical strength is even greater than that of the dragon race.

Later, he also practiced the body-refining technique "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

This caused his physical strength to surge again, resulting in a massive explosion of combat power, even surpassing that of Chongjun, the ruler of the demon race.

Chongjun, as the ruler of the Crimson Fire Ape lineage, is one of the top five most powerful beings in the demon race.

The result was not as good as Lin Qi, who was at the Starry Sky God realm, which shows how strong his physical body was.

His physical strength has increased dramatically compared to before, making him one of the strongest among ordinary rulers.

Even the Crimson Flame Overlord, who possesses dragon-human blood and extraordinary physical talent, was at a disadvantage in the clash.

If he further cultivates the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" and advances from the fourth to the fifth stage, he will be able to possess even stronger physical strength.

He possessed the combat power of a top-tier ruler even before mastering the true meaning of time acceleration.

The cultivation of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" requires constant comprehension of the laws of time, and most importantly, sufficient resources.

Thinking of this, a blood-red battle armor with a ferocious appearance and bone spurs appeared in his hand. This was the Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure Battle Armor of the Blood Lord of the Prison Clan.

For the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques", the higher the quality of the secret treasure, the better the cultivation effect.

He glanced at his own panel.

[You have absorbed the energy core, your physical body is beginning to transform, and your Qi and Blood value has increased significantly, now +1000 million!]

[You have absorbed the energy core, your health and mana have increased by 1000 million!]

[Qi and Blood Value +1000 million!]

[Qi and Blood Value: 25.6 billion → 43 billion!]

……

Lin Qi looked at his Qi and Blood value; three thousand years had passed.

His physical body has never stopped cultivating.

He obtained a total of 30 energy cores, which are continuously providing energy.

That was enough for him to cultivate; he only used 5 pills in three thousand years.

The remaining core knowledge is enough for him to cultivate to 70 to 80 billion Qi and Blood Points, or even higher.

This saved him countless hours of cultivation time.

Even other top-tier deities would have to make dozens of trips to collect so many energy cores.

"Buzz!!"

With this in mind, he began to circulate the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique." Six characters appeared on the surface of the source core, driving the entire secret pattern diagram.

The maps penetrate into every cell; they are the root of cellular transformation.

It was combined with the secret pattern diagrams condensed from the supreme inheritance of the "Deep Space Sutra".

The secret patterns of the two cultivation techniques constructed his entire body, much like a genetic map.

To improve, one can upgrade and evolve the blueprint, making his physical strength stronger.

A dazzling black power of destruction surged from his body, enveloping the secret treasure armor and causing it to be burned as if by high-temperature black flames, merging into his body.

The blood-red armor began to deform under the burning power of destruction, bearing Lin Qi's own mark.

As for its original owner, Blood Lord, all the marks within it vanished with his death.

Lin Qi himself integrated it into his body.

Then it began to refine, thoroughly absorbing every inch of the raw materials and the secret patterns within them, integrating them into its flesh and blood.

"Buzz!!"

Deep within the body, the secret rune pattern also shone brightly, while the power of destruction was combining to form even more complex runes.

At the same time, Lin Qi began to condense brand new secret runes.

The effects of the Nine-Patterned Treasure were astonishing; Lin Qi's entire body was radiating light, and the four-colored patterns flowed like photon blood.

His entire body trembled violently, enveloped in a black domain, like a black cocoon of light, and his aura continued to grow stronger.

During his cultivation, Lin Qi could clearly feel his body being burned by raging fire, experiencing intense pain, as if being burned by raging fire or forged in a furnace.

This is completely different from the feeling of practicing the "Deep Space Sutra".

The cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is not easy; on the contrary, it is extremely painful.

There are all kinds of pain; the process of becoming stronger is accompanied by pain.

And if he gets through this, he will become even stronger.

With each level of cultivation, his combat power ceiling increases by one level.

[You have successfully refined the Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure Armor while cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique; progress has increased by 1%]

[Mystic Skill Progress +1%!]

[Mystic Skill Progress +1%]

……

The panel will periodically display a message indicating that the progress has increased by 1%.
His progress is also getting faster and faster.

The enhancement brought by the Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure Armor was enormous. He only refined two pieces, and his progress reached the third stage of perfection.

Although it's not so easy now, the progress is also very fast.

Three years later.

"Boom!!"

"Hoohoo!!"

Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, stirring up a strong energy gust.

A profound aura of life enveloped the entire training ground, as if a cosmic artifact had been forged.

Lin Qi's eyes emitted golden light as he looked into the void before him, and information appeared on his control panel.

[Progress of "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts": 1% for Fourth Rebirth → 10% for Fourth Rebirth]

……

Lin Qi looked at the progress on the panel and smiled with satisfaction.

The Blood Lord's Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure Armor provided him with a significant boost.

That's a whopping 10% improvement in progress, which is truly amazing.

Theoretically, if he gets 9 more items, he can advance his progress to the fifth job advancement.

However, it's not calculated that way. The lower the cultivation level, the stronger the effect of the Nine-Patterned Treasure.

As it grows stronger, the effects of the Nine-Patterned Treasure will gradually decrease.

If you can increase the progress by 10% now, the progress increase for the next item might only be 9%.
Eventually, the level drops further and further, and it may take a dozen or twenty items to upgrade to the fifth rank.

To advance to the sixth rank, even more Nine-Patterned Treasures are needed.

By then, he had probably already used up all the nine-patterned treasures he had acquired.

At that time, we will have to go out and search for other treasures.

At that time, his opponent was the ruler of the alien race.

There might be a chance to obtain a powerful treasure; the effects of the Nine-Patterned Treasure are already quite extraordinary.

The effects of powerful treasures will only become more potent.

Then he took out another treasure, this time a blood-red battle blade, the weapon of the Blood Lord.

After refining this nine-patterned treasure, he will need to observe the [Sands of Time] and comprehend the laws of time.

For him now, the key is to enhance his understanding of the laws of time.

The understanding of laws, physical realm, and progress of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" can all be improved together.

By taking a three-pronged approach, every improvement in these three areas can be quickly translated into increased strength.

It can even create a chain reaction, linking one thing to another, layer upon layer, greatly enhancing his combat power.

As for unique skills, they really can't be created in a short time, unless given tens of thousands of years.

He needs to build the framework of his ultimate technique while comprehending the laws of time. Once his understanding of the laws improves, his strength will also advance by leaps and bounds.

"time……"

Lin Qi sighed inwardly; he needed time.

Time is too precious for him; cultivation takes up too much of his time, leaving him no time to deal with other matters.

So he devoted himself to cultivation again.

……

Time flies by, and to the ruler, time is just a number.

A single period of seclusion could last for tens of thousands of years.

Lin Qi also had this feeling; after becoming the ruler, the time he spent in seclusion was getting longer and longer.

He wasn't fully involved either, as he was also observing the situation on the frontier battlefield.

Soon after, he received news from Xiaotian and Qinling that they had displayed great power on the battlefield, killing many alien gods.

Especially Xiaotian, who is now Xiaozun, possesses combat power that is almost that of a top-tier deity.

He was also equipped with a nine-patterned treasure made by Lin Qi, which gave him astonishing combat power. He killed a large number of gods and made a fortune.

Then the Ancient Star Secret Realm opened, and he and Qin Ling entered together.

Surprisingly, Lei Zun also went to the Ancient Star Secret Realm this time.

He left the seclusion and went to the Ancient Star Secret Realm, which, according to him, was to protect some gods with good talents.

While the overall strength of the alien gods has decreased this time, they are still formidable.

Without Lin Qi, the human race suffered significant losses this time, with many gods perishing.

Xiaotian, as his partner, was the main target. If it weren't for Lei Zun's help, he would have been at risk of perishing.

This also led Xiaotian to decide that he would seek revenge the next time the Ancient Star Secret Realm opened.

Ten thousand years from now, Xiaotian will also enter the ranks of top gods and have the ability to take revenge.

As for the Qinling Mountains, they are also a key area of ​​focus.

However, because he was careful, he stayed in the outer area of ​​the Ancient Star Secret Realm. Even when he entered the central area, he stayed with Xiaotian and Leizun.

They finally returned safely. They benefited greatly from this trip to the ancient star's secret realm.

Qinling also returned several secret treasures to him to offset the expenses incurred by the Nine-Patterned Secret Treasure.

Xiaotian devoted himself to cultivation, while Lei Zun continued his seclusion to break through.

Over the next three thousand years, he successfully broke through to become a ruler, but he remained in seclusion to cultivate and prepare to condense the ruler's Dharma body before emerging from seclusion.

In the blink of an eye, eight thousand years had passed since Lin Qi went into seclusion, and ten thousand years had passed since he broke through to the Dominator realm and condensed his Dominator Dharma Body.

He is nearly 40,000 years old.

On this day, deep within the No. 10 Chaotic Wonder at the Yan Court, a handsome man with a unique temperament, wearing a white-gold robe, slowly opened his eyes on a high platform.

He was like the center of the universe, with deep eyes that emitted golden light, and the black power of the laws of time flowed in his eyes.

He looked up at the 108 grains of sand filling his eyes. They magnified and seemed to transform into stars, covered with countless exquisite and vast secret patterns.

This is an artwork that takes countless years to be created in the universe. Looking at it for a long time, it seems as if you can see the traces of time flowing by.

In Lin Qi's eyes, under the perception of his soul and the terrifying eyesight of his [Golden Eyes], various combinations of time laws flowed before him.

In his mind, the contents of the Book of Light also appeared.

It combined with the profound laws it had come to understand.

[You observed the chaotic artifact, the Sands of Time, and gained insight into the true meaning of the accelerated nature of the time law, successfully comprehending the 1489th profound mystery!]

[You have successfully comprehended the 5490nd profound mystery!]

[You have successfully comprehended the 5491st profound mystery!]

……

Lin Qi looked at the information that popped up on the panel and felt somewhat regretful.

He originally planned to comprehend 5500 mysteries in one go before ending this observation.

During those 8000 years, he devoted himself to comprehending the laws of nature, and even purchased a large number of rare and precious materials to enhance his comprehension.

The effect of comprehending the laws of time is greatly enhanced, coupled with his strong affinity for the laws of time themselves.

He was even able to consult with the Void Lord and the Kongming Lord, so over the course of eight thousand years, his progress was quite remarkable.

The mysteries I have come to understand exceed 5000.

This quantity is also extremely astonishing; he has already grasped half of the true meaning of time acceleration.

These mysteries were enough for him to create the first move of his unique skill.

Lin Qi thought to himself that not only had his understanding of the laws improved, but his realm and progress in the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique" had also greatly increased.

In terms of overall combat strength, it's safe to say that he now possesses the combat power of a top-tier ruler.

Their combat strength has already surpassed a minor realm.

Among all the human rulers, his combat strength ranks in the upper-middle range.

Because within the realm of the Sovereign, the majority are still ordinary Sovereigns.

Those who possess top-tier combat power are already in the upper-middle range, belonging to an extremely small number of individuals.

Most importantly, he also possesses a great treasure.

This is generally something only top-tier rulers, or even peak rulers, can possess.

Ordinary rulers, unless they are Red Flame Ruler or legendary geniuses like him.

Or perhaps they are descendants of the supreme being.

Only then is it possible to possess great treasures even when one is an ordinary ruler.

It seems that even the Crimson Flame Overlord doesn't possess any powerful treasures.

He was able to possess it because of the fragments of chaotic artifacts he obtained on the trial planet.

Only then could the Master of the Deep Space Academy spend a huge amount of money to refine a precious treasure.

However, the Crimson Flame Overlord may not receive this treatment.

After all, fragments of Chaos artifacts are not so easy to obtain.

To date, Lin Qi has only seen a fragment of a chaotic artifact once.

When it appeared, it alarmed a large number of rulers and celestial deities.

However, if fragments of chaotic artifacts were to appear across the entire human territory, he would have the right to compete for them.

Unfortunately, there has been no news at all.

It seems that it is still too difficult for such a creature to appear in the human territory. If it were, it would have already been obtained by other rulers and supreme beings.

To obtain fragments of Chaos Artifacts, one must venture into the territories of other races and into some extremely dangerous cosmic realms.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to obtain a complete Chaos artifact; there have been examples of this before.

"Junior Brother!"

Just then, he came to his senses and looked at the Crimson Flame Overlord, who was wearing a crimson robe, standing to the side.

The reason he was awakened and forced to exit his seclusion was because of the Crimson Flame Overlord.

The other person woke him up.

"Senior sister, is there something you need?"

The Crimson Flame Overlord smiled and said, "Junior Brother, I just received the news."

"A year from now, the high-level human race meeting will be held."

"The long-awaited high-level human race meeting is finally about to convene."

Lin Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and then let out a sigh.

He has been in seclusion for over ten thousand years, and he has been cultivating every day, almost forgetting about the high-level meetings of the human race.

Crimson Flame Overlord also laughed and said, "I guess the teachers are also waiting for Thunder Lord's breakthrough."

"This way, we won't need to hold two high-level meetings."

"It happened right after Lei Zun's celebration banquet."

Lin Qi nodded. Lei Zun had successfully broken through to become a ruler, although it took him almost ten thousand years.

However, his talent is also top-notch; he was once a legendary genius.

The breakthrough time is considered quite fast now.

He glanced at the time; Lei Zun's celebration banquet would be held in six months.

One year from now will be the high-level meeting of the human race.

……

Six months later, at Thunder Residence.

In the lavishly decorated hall, Lin Qi walked in amidst the lively atmosphere and saw Lei Zun, who was wearing a purple robe and whose aura had become even more powerful.

"Teacher, congratulations on your breakthrough."

Upon seeing Lei Zun, Lin Qi greeted him and took out his congratulatory gift.

Lei Zun was still unable to properly contain his domineering aura.

He smiled when he saw Lin Qi arrive.

"Here I am!"

"I can't compare to you."

"However, after breaking through to become a ruler, I realized just how strong you were back then, Lin Qi."

"Breaking through to the Dominator realm is a complete transformation, resulting in a tremendous increase in strength."

"He actually managed to kill the Overlord Chongjun when he was a Star God."

Lei Zun was not lying. After breaking through to become a ruler, he felt stronger than ever before.

Especially after he condensed the Sovereign Dharma, his combat power skyrocketed.

Now, if he were to deal with the Overlord Chongjun, he would be confident that he could fight him to a standstill.

At the same time, one can also sense Lin Qi's power.

Even when the opponent was still a Star God, he was already able to kill the Overlord Chongjun.

Now that he has broken through to the Dominator level, it's hard to imagine how strong he is.

It's possible that he didn't use his full strength when sparring with the Crimson Flame Overlord.

After a brief exchange with Lei Zun, Lin Qi went into the hall and chatted with the others.

Many of those invited this time were acquaintances.

For example, there was the former senior brother Horton, the third senior sister Zhong He, and the sixth senior sister Mu Ning...

They were all disciples of Lei Zun, many of whom were originally just galaxy-level geniuses.

After obtaining his star seed, they successively broke through to become star domain-level geniuses, and their potential also increased.

Among them, the eldest brother Horton was originally a galaxy-level genius who broke through, and later took a rare and precious material that Lin Qi brought out from the ancient star secret realm to enhance his talent.

This will also enhance his talent, and his future potential might even reach that of a supreme deity.

Meanwhile, the third senior sister Zhong He and the sixth senior sister Mu Ning have also successfully broken through in recent years and become Star Gods.

Many of Lei Zun's disciples became Star Gods.

All of this is thanks to him.

After seeing Lynch, Horton exclaimed:
"Junior brother, it's been a long time. You've become even stronger."

"We are all happy to see you become stronger."

They were all very grateful to Lin Qi, because Star Seeds and various rare and precious materials that enhance talent are not so easy to obtain.

Even for a celestial deity with trillions of contribution points, obtaining it is extremely difficult.

It's different if you're a ruler; with some effort, you can still get it.

Then Lin Qi started chatting with his senior classmates.

Now that Lei Zun has broken through to become a ruler, he still takes on disciples.

However, the standards will become higher, and unless they are top-tier star-domain level geniuses, they may no longer be accepted.

As for Lin Qi himself, theoretically he should have taken on disciples when he was a Star God.

However, he broke through too quickly and soon reached the Dominator Realm.

He has no intention of taking on disciples until now, unless a legendary genius emerges, then he might consider taking on disciples.

Otherwise, it would be better to wait until one has broken through to become a supreme being, possessing invincible strength in the universe, before taking on disciples and nurturing them with peace of mind.

The banquet continued, and Lin Qi chatted with acquaintances. Thousands of years had passed since they last met, which had indeed been a long time for him in the past.

And such incidents will only increase in the future.

After all the guests arrived, Lei Zun announced his title of ruler: Thunder Ruler.

The title, though conventional in Lei Zun's description, perfectly suits him.

……

The news of the birth of a ruler among humans was then relayed to other supreme powers.

Meanwhile, the rulers of the five most powerful alien races also gathered to exchange ideas.

In a giant conference hall in a virtual world, the figures of hundreds of rulers appeared, their figures shrunk to humanoid shapes, surrounded by terrifying cosmic power.

One of the burly figures, whose entire body was surrounded by crimson cosmic power, slowly spoke:

"The human race's Thunder Lord has broken through and is now the Thunder Ruler."

"In less than 5 years, the human race has produced three rulers in succession."

"Moreover, their strength and talent are all exceptionally great."

"And none of our top races have made any breakthroughs in their supreme deities."

"The overall strength of the human race has been enhanced once again."

"The threat posed by humans is growing stronger!"
