Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed.

On this day, Lin Qing arrived at the Bronze Demon Mountain, walking step by step up the bronze long steps along the mountain path.

Every layer of steps was filled with overwhelming willpower challenges and various spiritual temptations. As the number of layers increased, the difficulty of testing spiritual will became increasingly exaggerated.

The last time I came here was a thousand years ago, back when I had just broken through to Void Creature level, and I only reached the twenty-one thousandth step.

"It's been so long, I wonder which step I can reach this time..."

Lin Qing's speed climbing the mountain was fast, enduring the demanding tests of spiritual will as he moved forward step by step, almost without pause for the first thirty thousand steps.

After reaching the thirty thousand steps, his pace began to gradually slow down.

Ultimately...

He stopped at the thirty-four thousandth step.

"Quite a bit of progress, indeed..."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, "The memories experienced each time during the preemptive journey have a honing effect on willpower. Over time, accumulated little by little, it does have some effect. But as spiritual will becomes stronger, the honing effect also diminishes..."

He didn't linger long and promptly left the Bronze Demon Mountain.

Soon, he summoned Yuanxue Qiuyue. Yet, her main body still hadn't exited Cangxue Divine Palace, clearly stuck at the final challenge.

"No need to rush, take your time. The stronger your power before transforming into the Void, the greater the benefits you'll gain in the future."

Lin Qing advised her, then departed.

Afterwards, he met with Qi Lingxiao, Chu Hongjun, and Irenado.

"Master Qi, have you already created a Divine Skill? And it's a Three Phase one?" Lin Qing looked at Qi Lingxiao with some surprise.

Qi Lingxiao had only transformed into a Void Creature a hundred years ago.

In a hundred years, to self-create a Three Phase Divine Skill, usually only the Star Gods of the Three Great Holy Lands could achieve this milestone.

In terms of Space Mysteries, Lin Qing helped Qi Lingxiao integrate the World Origin, so rapid progress is normal. But creating a Divine Skill is heavily reliant on comprehension.

"Just luck." Qi Lingxiao scratched the back of his head, "Suddenly had an epiphany, came up with some ideas during that moment."

"Qi Lingxiao's luck has improved again." Chu Hongjun pushed the glasses on his nose with a fingertip and said, "His luck has always been unusual. I've tested him multiple times, and every time his Life Level transforms, fortune aspects tend to increase, quite mysterious."

"Life Level transformation, and luck improves too?" Lin Qing found it quite baffling.

Does luck enhance with Life Level elevation?

Never heard of it.

No wonder even Lord Su took notice of Qi Lingxiao's uniqueness.

"I don't know either." Qi Lingxiao rubbed his head, "But my luck really seems to have improved."

"Truly remarkable." Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said, "I originally thought of first refining single-colored and two-colored Divine Artifacts for you to use, but I didn't expect you to create a Three Phase Divine Skill so quickly."

"No rush."

Qi Lingxiao said, "I feel I can still progress further, let's talk when you're able to refine high-level Divine Artifacts."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and then looked at Qi Lingxiao and Irenado, saying, "How much longer until you two transform and breakthrough to Void Creatures?"

"Not too long." Chu Hongjun calmly said, "Both I and Irenado are not combat-oriented Divine Positions, just need to quietly contemplate, no need for Divine Artifacts."

Irenado softly said, "I should be able to breakthrough within a thousand years."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

These three were all talented figures who rose during the most backward period of Earth Civilization, and now with enough resources for cultivation, their progress is naturally swift.

Lin Qing even deliberately spent a fortune on buying several slaves possessing Tenth Energy Level Power Talent.

Tenth Energy Level Power Talent, although rare in Second-Level Civilizations, far exceeds the amount of Void Dominators many times over.

A slave possessing Tenth Energy Level Power Talent is valued at three trillion Void Coins at least.

Though it's a sky-high price, for him, buying a few isn't much at all.

With an almost 100% success rate in artifact refining, making money is too easy.

Subsequently, Lin Qing helped Qi Lingxiao, Chu Hongjun, Irenado, Zhao Jiayi, and his Black Flame Clone, all elevate their powers to the Tenth Energy Level.

Ninth Energy Level and Tenth Energy Level are essentially representations of Space Talent. Even a Ninth Energy Level talent can become a Void Dominator.

But Tenth Energy Level Space Talent is stronger, has clearer space sensing, a higher chance of transforming into Void, and easier mastery of complete space rules.

As for his avatar, it's actually unnecessary.

Even Tenth Energy Level Power, frankly, is just a manifestation of ability and talent.

Regarding condensing Starry Sky Source Stone, for him, it no longer holds much meaning.

Mainly considering the future entrance into King Relics, where the Black Flame Clone will need to manage Star-Level challenges. The higher its talent, the greater its natural advantage.

"Everyone, focus on cultivation."

Lin Qing said, "In thirty-seven thousand years, our Mountain and Sea Realm will also begin participating in civilization warfare. At that time, my strength alone won't suffice."

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly, saying, "You only need to focus on your own cultivation. If you can become a Void Dominator and enable the Secret Realm's transformation to accelerate growth, the speed at which geniuses appear in the Mountain and Sea Realm will also quicken."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to start venturing into the Void Sea these next few days, preparing for the Void Dominator Level."

"So soon?" Qi Lingxiao was taken aback, "You just broke through a thousand years ago, even with the tenfold speed of the Cultivation Room, it's only ten thousand years in time. Venturing out so soon?"
