Chapter 256: Upgrade! Upgrade! Upgrade!
After Lin Fan and the group left, a small bulge could be seen on the ground inside farm village, slowly growing larger over time.
Bang!
The bulge exploded, and a blood worm wriggled out of the ground and disappeared with a soft screech.
The Magnificent Flame Sect was currently at peace. It might be a poor sect, but they had the happiest disciples compared to many other Sects. The appearance of Invincible Peak made them feel the warmth of their sect once more.
When the disciples guarding the entrance of the sect saw the group coming back, they cheered in surprise. “Senior brother Lin and the rest have returned!”
The main palace of the Sect.
When the group landed, Lin Fan couldn’t wait to go back to his peak for seclusion.
A few figures came from across the sect.
“Disciple, you’re back?” Tian Xu came towards Lin Fan, nodding in satisfaction. His disciple had contributed much this time. But when he saw the villagers that they brought back, Tian Xu frowned. “The Divine Religion…”
“Master, can you feel the Divine Religion’s people hiding in the villager’s bodies?” Lin Fan asked. Huo Rong could only feel a slight aura, but Tian Xu could tell at a glance. ~This shows that master is more powerful than Elder Huo Rong.~
“Yes, though they’ve hidden well, I can still feel their aura. What’s going on?”
The Divine Religion had been very suffocating. If they don’t eliminate the Divine Religion soon, it would be deadly cancer for the Magnificent Flame Sect in the future.
However, they were so well hidden that it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Huo Rong narrated everything he saw on their way back from the t.i.tan sect in detail.
The Patriarch and the other elders’ expression changed.
“It seems like the Divine Religion is preparing something. We need to come up with a countermeasure. We’re aware of how daring these religious b******* are from the previous incident with Jun Wutian.”
Tian Xu walked up and clenched his fist. The villagers exploded, and numerous b.a.l.l.s of meat floated out. They all let out empty screeches.
“The Magnificent Flame Sect will be destroyed. Our Pope will never let you off!”
“Hmmph, presumptuous.” Tian Xu said, starting to search their souls. Many images could soon be seen floating out.
However, all the images showed how the Divine Religion killed the villagers. There wasn’t a single piece of useful information.
“There’s nothing useful.” Tian Xu flung his sleeves and the b.a.l.l.s of meat turned into ashes.
“Master, Patriarch, Elders, I’ll be going back first.”
There was no point for Lin Fan to stay since there wasn’t anything useful. Thus he left as a ray of light.
The Invincible peak. After much care and development, it had greatly changed. It was refined by Tian Xu personally, thus it was full of gorgeous scenery. It was filled with disciples too, bustling with activity.
At the same time, two disciples could be seen pushing each other anxiously. They seemed slightly afraid.
“Help me tell Senior brother Lu, I dare not.” A disciple said, pushing another disciple forward.
“I don’t dare either.”
The both of them kept pushing each other while loitering outside the main palace’s Pill’s room.
“What are you guys doing?” Lu Qiming asked. He had just finished patrolling the peak, and he came across this scene when he reached the Pill’s room.
“Greetings, Senior brother Lu.”
“Mhmm. What are you doing here? What’s going on?” Lu Qiming nodded.
The disciples exchanged a glance, and the one finally spoke up. “Greetings, Senior brother Lu, we’ve met with a bottleneck in our cultivation, and we are here to get the Congealing Blood pill.”
Lu Qiming glanced at the both of them and nodded. “Not bad, Body Tempering Stage Five. You guys have trained well. Give me a moment, I’ll get it for you now.”
Very soon, Lu Qiming came back out with two Human-low cla.s.s Congealing blood pills. They might not be of a high cla.s.s, but they still cost at least a few thousand YHB for one. With their ability, it would take them at least two months to earn this amount.
They hadn’t expected Senior Brother Lu to agree just like this. They were so elated that they felt like jumping in excitement.
Lu Qiming took out the pills and handed one to both of them. “You have to cultivate hard, Senior brother Lin worked hard to earn the pills, so you shouldn’t waste them. After you have get stronger, you have to help the other junior brothers and take care of the peak, do you understand?”
“Yes.” Both of them nodded seriously.
“Mhmm.” Lu Qiming nodded. Get to cultivating, remember what Senior brother Lin has done for you.”
Lu Qiming was in charge of the pills in the Invincible peak. He would agree to most disciple’s requests, but he’d give them a long lecture at the same time.
Just then, he saw a ray of light coming towards the peak. Lu Qiming rushed up immediately.
“Senior brother Lin, you’re back.” Lu Qiming said. He knew that Lin Fan had gone to the t.i.tan sect, and he finally returned after everything was resolved.
“Yes, I am back. Junior brother Lu, I’m going into seclusion. Don’t let anyone disturb me.”
He had filled up with a huge amount of points and he had so many that he didn’t know how to spend them now.
The trip to the t.i.tan sect is so worth it! It’s just a pity that the Elephant G.o.d sect ended the war too early.
“Keep these pills well.”
Lin Fan raised his finger. Pills flew out of his storage ring. There might not be as many, but it still contributed to the peak’s resources.
~It was from the Elephant G.o.d sect’s storage ring. My attacks were too fierce. Not only were their bodies crushed into ashes, their storage rings were destroyed too. It was really such a waste. Such a waste.~
“Yes.” Seeing the pills, Lu Qiming’s eyes almost grew stalks. From Lin Fan’s words, he learnt that resources were the best way to grow the peak.
At the same time, punishments and rewards should be given out clearly too.
The secret chamber.
It was so silent inside that you could hear a pin drop.
There was n.o.body to disturb Lin Fan here.
“Hahaha!” As a peak leader, he had to put up a stern front. But now that no one was around, and he was in his secret chamber, he could put down his act and laugh to his heart’s content.
“Let me check my points.”
He hasn’t checked his points ever since he returned from the t.i.tan sect, as he was afraid that he’d lose his cool in public due to his excitement.
When he saw the number, he gulped and took another look.
Points: 3581280.
Badump!
Badump!
His heart pounded rapidly as if going to jump out from his chest and explode.
3.58 million points. How much is that?
“How am I supposed to use them? There’s too much.”
He was going crazy. Hard work always pays off. ~If I chose to guard cities like other disciples, I wouldn’t have evened even a fraction of this amount.~
~I can upgrade every skillset with these points.~
~I can even get to my strongest state immediately.~
~Calm down, you need to calm down. You can’t get too agitated.” Lin Fan said, trying to calm himself down. ~Let’s do this slow and steadily.~
“d.a.m.n it, I can’t hold it in anymore.”
“Ahhhh!”
Suddenly, Lin Fan went insane. His strong aura exploded out, and violent energy could be felt everywhere. If Tian Xu didn’t refine this place personally, it would’ve been destroyed.
His energy went all over the place. It was so strong that it made the surrounding s.p.a.ce crack. The chamber shook violently under his punches.
After some time.
“No, I must calm down.”
He pulled out the Tai Soveriegn sword and committed suicide.
Ten seconds later!
He returned in his peak state.
It calmed him down, and Lin Fan felt refreshed. ~I can brainstorm how to use my points best only when I’m calm.~
~The Destroyer’s punch scripture is the embodiment of destruction. I should max it.~
“Upgrade.” Lin Fan said to himself.
“Points – Eighty thousand.”
“Destroyer’s punch scripture (Level four)”
~Let’s continue til it’s maxed.~
“Points – one hundred thousand”
‘Points – one hundred and twenty thousand.”
“Destroyer’s punch scripture (max)”
“Traits: Shattering s.p.a.ce, strength intent, extreme destruction, Wiping out the world, Wiping out the Universe.”
After spending three hundred thousand points, the Destroyer’s punch scripture was maxed.
He could feel the energy bursting in his body, and all his cells absorbing the energy greedily. This skillset had a destructive intent. He could feel the intent in his heart.
“So that’s how it is. If I learned it myself instead of using points, it would’ve been really difficult to train.”
~I just realised this skillset isn’t enough to get me to the Heaven Star Border realm. My body isn’t satisfied yet.~
~ The surging violent energy still isn’t enough for my foundation. My body’s capacity is so huge now I’m unable to describe it.~
~Level up, I must level up. I won’t stop until my points reach zero.~
“Level up.”
Points – One hundred and fifty thousand points.”
Extreme wipe out body (max)”
“Traits: Strength increases by three times.”
“Hoo!” Lin Fan huffed. His breath was now warm, but the energy in his body was still growing.
Powerful. I can feel my power. But this isn’t enough. I should continue levelling up, and surpa.s.s everything.
Level up!
Points- One hundred and twenty points.”
This isn’t enough, this isn’t the limit. Let me continue.”
Points – One hundred sixty points.”
…
“The Divine Art of Startling Dragon (level six)”
“Traits: Violent Startling Dragon. Maximum increase in strength. Maximum increase in earth energy, The Startling Dragon Palm.”
Just then, Lin Fan felt a few golden coloured dragons coiling around him. The dragons travelled through his body, reading a violent energy.
Strong energy exploded, making the chamber shake. Dust went all over the place, his energy flowing around the chamber. It seemed to have solidified.
“I didn’t expect such a huge change between level two and six. This skillset is really incredible.”
He could feel that each of his cells was so full until they were almost going to explode.
Even for his foundation, it’s enough for now.
However, he didn’t wish for the matter to end so simply. He wanted to make use of everything he had to make himself the strongest Earth Star Border realm cultivator ever.
Crack!
His skin cracked open. The energy inside him felt like it was going to make his body explode.
~C’mon, it’s the final stretch.~
