Chapter 1725: New Discovery
Among all of the Sword Servants under Lin Huang, the one who had the highest potential was actually not Sword 1, but Sword 8.
She was pure and had the least distracting thoughts. That was the best quality for cultivation.
She was Great Heaven’s favorite Sword Servant in the past. He doted on her like a sister and had never forced her to cultivate.
That had resulted in her mischievous character. She did not take cultivation seriously.
Therefore, her ability was incomparable to Sword 1’s, and even worse than Sword 2’s and Sword 3’s.
Since Lin Huang taken over the Sword Servants, he had been burying his head in work almost all the time. He had tasked Sword 1 with managing the Sword Servants’ matters. Therefore, he did not focus much on Sword 8.
However, Sword 8 got his attention when she exited closed-door cultivation this time.
“The intensity of this girl’s aura…”
He could never have expected that Sword 8, who had just exited closed-door cultivation, would have an aura that was more powerful than Sword 1’s.
Lin Huang was in a daze momentarily before he snapped back to his senses. With a thought, he teleported Sword 8 over.
Sword 8’s appearance did not change much. She still looked very much like a little girl who had yet to hit p.u.b.erty.
“L-Lord Swordmaster…” Her character remained shy and timid.
Lin Huang nodded with a smile. “It seems like your closed-door cultivation was quite fruitful this time.”
“Yes.” Sword8’s voice softened instinctively when she saw Lin Huang walking toward her. “There are many things that I didn’t use to understand in the past. I understand them now after receiving the inheritance that Lord Swordmaster gave.”
At that moment, Sword 1 who was standing to the side spoke up as well, “In reality, Xiao Ba’s talent is better than ours. It’s just that she just can’t settle down.”
Sword 1 did not criticize Sword 8 for slacking in cultivation in front of Lin Huang. Instead, he merely said that she was often distracted.
Lin Huang actually knew his Sword Servants’ characters very well. He did not mind that. “I think Xiao Ba’s character is pretty great. It’d be better if she’s braver.”
Sword 8’s cheeks blushed a little.
At the moment, Sword 3 handed the battle sword and soul jewel to her.
Sword 8 looked at the two Dao Weapons in her hands and was stunned momentarily.
“You’ll have to use them during the unification process later. Familiarize yourself with them first.” Sword 1 who was standing aside explained, “When you’re ready, you can perform unification right away.”
“Do I do it here?” Sword8 looked around.
“Right here.” Sword 1 nodded. “Sword 2, Sword 3 and I did our unification here too.”
“Don’t worry about us. We won’t be affected by your unification,” Lin Huang added.
Sword 8 only nodded and appeared in mid-air not far away in a flash.
After familiarizing herself with the application of the two Dao Weapons a little, she began the unification process without hesitation.
As soon as the first stage, psychic communication, began, Lin Huang aside, Sword1, Sword2 and Sword3 stared at the G.o.d sequence chains that were spreading out of Sword 8’s body.
There were 36 G.o.d sequence chains. It had even exceeded the number of G.o.d sequence chains Sword 1 had mastered.
Not only Lin Huang, even the other three did not expect that.
“Has this girl been hiding her ability all this time?” Sword 2 could not help but ask Sword 1 and Sword 3.
Sword 1 and Sword 3 fell into silence as the both of them had no idea about the matter as well.
Lin Huang spoke right at this moment, “No, she was indeed not as powerful as you guys previously. However, she seemed to have had a major breakthrough during the closed-door cultivation session this time.”
If Sword 8 hid her ability, Lin Huang would definitely sense it.
After all, with his ability, even an ultimate-rank Lord could not deceive him with a concealing technique.
There was only one possibility why he had not sensed it, which was that Sword 8 only became more powerful during the closed-door cultivation session.
Watching the 36 G.o.d sequence chains, the three of them remained stunned for a long time.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, noticed that Sword 8 seemed to have elevated half a rank from the closed-door cultivation session this time. She was at rank-5.5 now.
He did not think that it was the inheritance he gave her that caused Sword 8’s elevation. The reason being was that his inheritance did not come with such a function. He figured that Sword 8 might have been at rank-5.5 initially, or rather incomplete rank-5.5. Since obtaining the inheritance he gave, she triggered something in her body unintentionally, restoring her to a complete rank-5.5 now.
It also explained why even though she was at rank-5 before, just like everyone else, her level of talent was clearly higher than the others.
Sword 8’s elevation was a success as well. She went through even the most difficult Dao plundering stage easily.
Initially, everyone was a little worried that she could not defeat the Raptor. After all, her combat ability was much weaker when compared to Sword 1, Sword 2 and Sword 3.
However, the way she fought the Raptor shocked them. She almost suppressed the Raptor throughout the entire battle.
The Dao plundering stage was easier for her than it was for Sword 1.
Since Sword 8 elevated to lord-level, Sword 2 attempted to lure her into challenging Sword 1 in the name of familiarizing herself with her newfound lord-level powers.
However, Sword 8 shook her head directly to reject his suggestion.
Her elevation unlocked the plateau in Lin Huang’s Kingdom further.
It had once again verified Lin Huang’s previous hypothesis.
After that, Sword 4 and the rest performed unification one after the other within the next two days.
From Sword 1 to Sword 10, all of the Sword Servants had successfully performed unification and had all been elevated to Lords.
They returned to their initial jobs quietly instead of boasting.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang had ten extra Dao seals. The total number had reached 3,010.
After that, he was stuck at the plateau again.
He did not panic at all when he hit the plateau this time around.
The reason being was that he had already found out the way to resolve this plateau.
The ten experiments had proved his prior hypothesis completely.
In order to continue consolidating more Dao seals, all he had to do was to get people to perform unification in his Kingdom.
After confirming that, Lin Huang informed the imperial monsters under him about that.
He told them to enter his Kingdom first when they were going to consolidate Dao seals in the future.
Over the next few days, Bai was the first one who entered Lin Huang’s Kingdom to consolidate Dao seals.
It was his fourth Dao seal this time.
The unification went extraordinarily well. After all, he had prior three experiences.
After sending Bai out of his Kingdom, Lin Huang entered the virtual realm immediately to start a new round of Dao seal consolidation.
This time, he realized that he could continue to a.n.a.lyze more G.o.d sequence chains after consolidating one Dao seal.
Without hesitation, he began a new round of a.n.a.lysis.
Later on, he successfully consolidated the second, third and fourth Dao seal.
After the fourth Dao seal was formed, the G.o.d sequence chains were encrypted again.
“Bai consolidated his fourth Dao seal in my body, which unlocked four Dao seals for me.” Lin Huang deduced a new hypothesis. “If that’s the case, I’ll be able to unlock more Dao seals if Lords with more Dao seals consolidate Dao seals in my Kingdom?”
Over the next few days, Lin Huang verified his new hypothesis with Grimace and Lancelot, one after the other.
The unification of the two imperial monsters gave him the opportunity to consolidate eight Dao seals.
Until now, the total number of Dao seals he had consolidated had increased to 3,022.
Lin Huang could see the way forward to elevation in the future.
“If I invite many ultimate-rank Lords to consolidate Dao seals in my Kingdom, wouldn’t I be given the opportunity to consolidate thousands of Dao seals at once?! If I could invite a hundred ultimate-rank Lords to consolidate Dao seals in my Kingdom, wouldn’t I be able to consolidate 100,000 Dao seals and achieve major dao-level directly?”
