Chapter 1726: Extraordinarily Glamorous on the Outside

For the next few days, Lin Huang gave Sword 11 and Sword 12 the inheritances first. After they went into closed-door cultivation, they soon succeeded in the unification.

After the two of them got out of their closed-door cultivation sessions, Lin Huang spent some time customizing a set of Sword Dao inheritances for the 25 Sword Servants: Sword 13 to Sword 37.

The 25 Sword Servants entered closed-door cultivation together.

Lin Huang did not have high expectations for this batch of Sword Servants.

After all, they were merely at Pseudo Supreme G.o.d rank-4.5. With their levels of talent and potential, it was very difficult for them to elevate to Lords.

He thought it would be considered pretty good if more than 12 of them were elevated successfully.

Under the 10,000 times accelerated timeflow in the Great Heaven Palace, the 25 Sword Servants got out of closed-door cultivation and performed unification one after the other.

The final result was rather pleasing to Lin Huang.

Among the 25 of them, 18 were elevated to Lord-level successfully. Seven of them failed their unification and could only become half-step Lords.

The reason why the success rate was so high was because Lin Huang secretly helped a couple of Sword Servants in the last stage of Dao plundering.

Regarding the seven of them who failed, they failed in the second stage, which was unification.

Some had a G.o.d Territory that was less powerful, while some were lacking in physical strength or the strength of their G.o.d’s soul.

Lin Huang could not help those who were innately lacking.

He could only protect them at the last moment to save their lives, making them half-step Lords.

The seven of them were regretful and vexed. They knew that they failed because of their own shortcomings.

Lin Huang could only comfort them, “There might be methods to elevate from half-step Lords. Perhaps someone in the universe will have a way to mend damaged Dao seals, elevating half-step Lords to Lords.”

“You guys don’t have to stop just yet. You should continue cultivating in preparation to mend your Dao seals.”

In reality, Lin Huang had the Flawless Card that could repair their Dao seals. However, he was not going to tell them that for now.

The reason being was that, as soon as he told them that, the Sword Servants might not care if they could succeed in their unification or not; they could elevate to Lords even if they failed. In that case, there was no need for them to spend so much effort in cultivation.

With the couple of failed unifications, those Sword Servants who had yet to perform unification would definitely feel the pressure, and would work harder in their cultivation.

Regarding the function of the Flawless Cards, Lin Huang would only tell them before heading to the universe.

The seven Sword Servants who failed their unifications made Lin Huang realize that failed unifications would not unlock the plateau in his Kingdom further.

After the rank-4.5 Sword Servants performed their unifications, Lin Huang spent some time sorting out the remaining Sword Dao inheritances and sent the remaining rank-4.5 Sword Servants into the Great Heaven Palace where the flow of time was accelerated by 10,000 times.

Approximately half a month later, all of the Sword Servants had performed their unifications one after the other.

With Lin Huang’s help, among the remaining 331 Sword Servants, 91 of them elevated to lord-level successfully.

If not for the fact that Lin Huang helped them in the last stage of Dao plundering, less than 20 of them would have been able to break through using their own ability.

Most of those who failed were stuck at the unification stage.

Only less than 20 of them found themselves stuck at the first stage of psychic communication.

Although only less than one-third of them had successfully been elevated to Lords, Lin Huang knew very well that it was a pretty good result.

For those who failed their unifications, Lin Huang made them cultivate into half-step Lords.

However, he did not tell them about the Flawless Card for now.

Among the 368 Sword Servants, 121 of them successfully elevated to Lords, which gave Lin Huang the opportunity to consolidate 121 Dao seals.

On the imperial monsters’ side, 11 of them performed unification again to consolidate Dao seals, which gave Lin Huang an additional 37 Dao seals.

The number of Lin Huang’s Dao seals increased to 3,158.

Compared to the time when he had just consolidated 3,001 Dao seals and had been elevated to minor dao-level, his ability did not undergo a qualitative transformation.

However, he knew that as the number of Dao seals increased, it was only a matter of time before the qualitative transformation would happen.

Seizing the opportunity, he refined all of the upper-rank Lords’ and ultimate Lords’ Kingdoms that he had yet to refine previously.

As he had yet to elevate to minor dao-level at that point, 3,000 Dao seals was the limit that he could use. Even if he was in his own Kingdom, he could not borrow even one additional Dao seal from the Kingdom. Therefore, he had not wasted time refining them.

Now that he had been elevated to minor dao-level, the restriction on his G.o.dly Right had been lifted.

Not only outside the Kingdom, the number of Dao seals he could borrow was tenfold the number he personally mastered. In the Kingdom, he could use even more Dao seals. He had not even managed to test the limits within the Kingdom.

The round of refining 211 upper-rank Lords’ and eight ultimate-rank Lords’ Kingdoms boosted close to 80,000 Dao seals in his Kingdom. The total amount reached 121,163.

In reality, the number of Dao seals had exceeded the limit of minor dao-level.

However, Lin Huang realized there he could still use all of the Dao seals in his Kingdom. 121,163 Dao seals were still not the limit he could use.

In other words, theoretically, he could fight major dao-level powerhouses within his Kingdom.

Nevertheless, he did not think that he actually had the ability to fight if he really were to encounter a major dao-level powerhouse.

If he really did encounter one, he figured he would most probably be killed by the person directly before his Kingdom had even arrived.

However, this round of refining gave Lin Huang a new way of elevating his combat ability.

He required an outer force to unlock the restriction of consolidating Dao seals.

He could only take things slowly with this method.

He hypothesized that there was still a long way to go from 3,000 to 10,000 Dao seals.

The only Dao seals he could borrow came from the Kingdoms that he refined.

There were over 120,000 Dao seals, yet it had still not reached its limit.

There was ample room for an upgrade by elevating with this method of increasing his Dao seals.

“It seems that I can refine more Kingdoms to increase the number of Dao seals I can use in my Kingdom. I wonder what’s the limit of this method…”

Lin Huang returned to the material realm after stepping out of the virtual realm cabin. He began to worry about resources.

Apart from necessities, he had exchanged all of the spoils that he obtained earlier for Kingdoms and refined them.

He looked like an extraordinarily extravagant grade-7 organization’s leader with powerful abilities on the outside but, in reality, he could not even afford an extra low-grade Dao Weapon.

Even the over 300 Sword Servants would have to take turns to use the two low-grade Dao Weapons, the battle sword and soul jewel, for their unification.

From Sword 1 to Sword 368, the Dao Weapons were used over 300 times.

Fortunately, the Sword Servants were bonded to Lin Huang by a contract. They had an innate respect for him, so they would not gossip about him.

If the Sword Alliance’s new members who had no contract with him saw that, they might have criticized him and quit.

“This has to change. I must think of ways to make money. If this goes on, it’s going to be difficult to even operate the Sword Alliance.” Lin Huang rubbed his temples hard.

He needed the resources to trade for Lords’ Kingdoms. Aside from that, the Dao Weapons that he promised to the Sword Servants would cost a significant sum. Moreover, he needed a lot of money for the Sword Alliance’s operations as well…

It was Lin Huang’s first time worrying about money since stepping on the path of cultivation.
