Chapter 1723: Sword2 Got Out of Closed-door Cultivation
Lin Huang scanned through the hundreds of millions of G.o.d sequence chains in the Kingdom quickly with Divine Telekinesis. He realized that it was the same case as before; all of the G.o.d sequence chains and G.o.d rules were encrypted by an unknown power. They could not be a.n.a.lyzed anymore.
Feeling helpless, he could only give up on the plan to consolidate more Dao seals.
Although he had officially stepped into dao-level from the round of closed-door cultivation, and his ability had received a significant boost, he was quite p.i.s.sed to be encountering the strange plateau again.
He was secretly speculating what the problem was exactly.
“I encountered the plateau before because I had reached the limit of ultimate-rank Lord-level. I was only a step away from stepping into dao-level. It was completely normal for the plateau to occur for such a major breakthrough point. But I’ve stepped into dao-level now, so why would the same situation happen again?”
Lin Huang began thinking about it from a different angle as his previous line of thought had been to no avail.
“The plateau being lifted just now seemed to be caused by Sword 1 consolidating the Dao seal in my Kingdom. Moreover, throughout the entire process of consolidating the Dao seal, there was a strange feeling in my Kingdom. It proved that his consolidation of the Dao seal might have a significant connection to my plateau being lifted.”
“If I follow this logic, can it be that the lifting of the plateau encourages me to have others consolidate their Dao seals in my Kingdom and become Lords?”
Lin Huang made a rough guess.
Although he had no idea of the exact theory behind it, he deduced that conclusion following the logic of the earlier incident.
“Let’s try that!”
Since he came up with that conclusion, it was only natural that he had to verify it.
It just so happened that Sword 1 was not the only one going into closed-door cultivation this time. Sword 2 to Sword 10 were all waiting their turn, which meant that he had nine chances to verify his speculation.
He left the virtual realm and went back to the material realm.
Lin Huang returned to his Kingdom immediately.
Seeing Sword 1 who had become familiar with his new powers, Lin Huang appeared next to him in a flash.
“Congratulations, you’ve finally broken through to lord-level successfully!”
“Lord Swordmaster…” Before hearing Lin Huang’s voice, Sword 1 had not sensed his aura at all. He had only snapped back to his senses after being stunned momentarily when he saw Lin Huang standing in front of him. He bowed immediately, “Thank you Lord Swordmaster for training me!”
Although he had always respected Lin Huang, the person that he respected the most had always been Swordmaster Great Heaven. He had never expected that he would exceed Swordmaster Great Heaven one day.
“I’ve only given you a push. You managed to break through successfully primarily because of your talent and acc.u.mulation.” Lin Huang patted Sword 1’s shoulder.
“Lord Swordmaster, your aura…” Sword 1 could not help but raise his doubts anyway. He still could not sense Lin Huang’s aura.
“Hmm?”
Lin Huang did not notice that his aura had almost been entirely integrated with the surroundings. In reality, he did not do it intentionally. It seemed to be a “special effect” that came with his elevation to dao-level.
He had only adjusted his aura after hearing Sword 1’s reminder. He adjusted his aura to what a middle-rank Lord would have.
It was only now that Sword 1 could sense Lin Huang’s existence.
“I had a tiny breakthrough earlier and didn’t notice the abnormality that occurred,” Lin Huang explained with a smile, “You can sense it now, right?”
“Yes, I can.” Although Sword 1 said that, he was secretly guessing which level exactly the swordmaster was at now. His non-existent aura just now had exceeded the realm of his understanding.
“Sword 2 and the rest will be coming out of their closed-door cultivation sessions soon. Do you want to stay and watch their unification or would you like to return to the Pilgrim Star Zone?” Lin Huang asked.
“I’ll stay. I can take this time to familiarize myself with being lord-level.” Sword 1 made up his mind without hesitation.
Although he was a workaholic, he did not want to miss the important moment when his brothers performed unification.
Moreover, under the 10,000 times of accelerated time in the Great Heaven Palace, Sword 2 and the rest should have digested the inheritances the swordmaster gave them completely.
“I’ll give you a lord-level inheritance. Study it when you have the time.” Lin Huang lifted his hand and stretched out a finger as he spoke.
A blood-colored gleam flashed through the air instantly like an electric arc. It penetrated Sword 1’s brows.
Sword1 did not manage to react at all, and he sensed that the inheritance had integrated with his G.o.d’s soul.
He shut his eyes to focus immediately. He began to read the copy of the inheritance.
Lin Huang had prepared the lord-level inheritance earlier. It was also customized to each Sword Servant together with the inheritance for unification.
In reality, he thought Sword 1 and the rest might not have a cultivation direction after they had successfully elevated to Lords.
The copy of the inheritance could prevent them from taking many wrong paths when they got to lord-level.
Seeing Sword 1 get into cultivation mode, Lin Huang waved to envelope Sword 1 in a layer of transparent defense modified with Mirror.
Although he was right next to him, and it was quite impossible for any accidents to happen since Sword 1 was in his Kingdom, he thought he would do that as an additional safety measure and provide Sword 1 another layer of defense.
After setting up the defense, instead of interrupting Sword 1, he sat where he was with his legs crossed quietly, patiently waiting for the second Sword Servant to perform unification.
Approximately half a day later, a commotion erupted from the Great Heaven Palace again.
Sword 2 had come out of closed-door cultivation.
Lin Huang scanned him with Divine Telekinesis. Sword 2’s aura was no weaker than Sword 1’s before unification. Clearly, it had been a fruitful closed-door cultivation session.
With merely a thought, Lin Huang teleported him over.
At that moment, Sword 1 snapped out of his cultivation state when he sensed Sword 2’s aura.
He saw the transparent protective layer before him as soon as he opened his eyes.
The next second, Lin Huang removed the protective layer directly.
Sword 1 nodded slightly at Lin Huang to indicate his grat.i.tude, and then turned his head to look at Sword 2.
Sword 2 looked at Lin Huang first and bowed to him. “Lord Swordmaster.”
He then turned his head to look at Sword 1. Sensing the changes in his aura, he was shocked and happy. “You made it?!”
“Yes, I have.” Sword 1 nodded with a smile. “You’ll definitely make it too.”
“I’m counting on your blessing.” Sword 2 smiled and looked around before asking, “Did you perform unification here just now?”
He could faintly sense the remnant aura in the surroundings.
“That’s right.” Sword 1 nodded.
“I’ll do it here too. I think this is a feng shui treasured land!” Sword 2 laughed out loud. “Even if I fail and end up being buried here, I should be able to bless my descendants.”
Sword 1 was speechless now. “Can you say something more auspicious?”
“I’m just kidding to ease my nerves.” Sword 2 chuckled.
“There’s no need to worry. The intensity of your aura is no weaker than Sword 1’s before his unification. He almost didn’t encounter any obstacles throughout the entire unification. You should be fine,” Lin Huang comforted him. “All you need to do is to get rid of your stray thoughts and focus everything you have on the unification.”
Sword 1 walked forward and pa.s.sed the soul jewel and battle sword he had used during the unification to Sword 2. “These two Dao Weapons are amazing. Remember to hand them over to the rest when you’re done.”
Lin Huang was blus.h.i.+ng a little when he saw the embarra.s.sing scene. He could not help but emphasize to them:
“I’ll get each of you a complete set of Dao Weapons when you’re done with the elevation.”
