Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 777: Chapter 303: Level 10 Territory, Divine Artifact, Azure Heaven Divine Origin

The S-level Pill obtained from Venerable Bingxin’s Mountain Mansion can be taken in multiples.

But the higher the pill grade, the nastier the pill poison.

Those who die from pill poison backlash are everywhere.

The last time Yi Tian took too many pills, he got a little muddle-headed and only came around after a long while.

If he takes all thirty S-level True Body Pills this time, it’s probably game over!

Also, Yi Tian’s not just going to take the True Body Pill.

He also plans to use S-level True Spirit Pill, S-level Essence Cloud Pill, and SSS-level Celestial Thunder Pill.

The SSS Enlightenment Pill also comes with pill poison.

Those Unparalleled Celestial Prides always take a break to settle down after popping pills.

Yi Tian decides to first take ten True Spirit Pills, ten True Body Pills, and ten Essence Cloud Pills.

As for the remaining cultivation-boosting pills, Yi Tian doesn’t plan to keep them.

Now that Yi Tian’s vision has leveled up, he doesn’t think S-level Pills are that hard to get.

Ten Essence Cloud Pills, feed them to Seventh-Child.

That way, Seventh-Child’s Spiritual Power will push close to three thousand, and her control over Divine Artifacts will skyrocket.

Big Child and Third Child each get ten True Body Pills and one Celestial Thunder Pill.

Double Child—one has Infinite Strength, one’s Immune to Weapons—attack and defense, Yi Tian’s left and right arms.

Preparation: Nine-petaled Orchid ready.

But given Yi Tian’s current Constitution...

The Nine-petaled Orchid isn’t all that effective for him now.

Swallow them one by one, fully refine each dose before starting the next.

It’s afternoon by the time he finishes all thirty-one pills.

Strength +450, Constitution +450, Agility +450, Spiritual Power +500, Spirit +500.

Current Strength: 5400; Constitution: 5680; Agility: 5506; Spiritual Power: 6025; Spirit: 5593.

This stat boost bumps Yi Tian’s everything way up.

Though Yi Tian’s body feels a bit tired, like after a good brawl.

Vaguely, his potential seems a little affected.

Yi Tian’s gut tells him: if he cultivates again tomorrow, it’s impossible to get tonight’s level of effect again.

Yi Tian doesn’t regret it; he believes his potential will return in the long run.

He wants to get stronger!

Yi Tian decides to take a break and lay off the pills for now.

Once he stockpiles enough Wood Spirit Liquid, he’ll go for a round of Spirit Fruit.

Spirit Fruit has zero side effect: way better than pills!

Right now, aside from a few freshly-caught Howling Moon Silver Wolves with three-dimension stats of 6500+...

Only Little Moon and Hei Tiaobai have broken the 6000+ cultivation

Technically, with the white Mist up, the Indigenous People can only send out Unparalleled Celestial Prides with three-dimension stats of 8000+ tops.

Even if a Divine Talent shows up, Yi Tian can slice them no problem.

Big Child now has Strength and Constitution: 4700+, Agility: 4800+.

Third Child’s three-dimension stats: 4700+.

In cultivation, they’ve overtaken Fourth Child, Fifth Child, and the rest.

Still seven Celestial Thunder Pills left—one for Howling Moon Silver Wolf, two Earth Bears, one Profound Fire Bird, two Eastsea Falcons, one Thunder Bull.

Yi Tian’s allocation is strictly by body combat power.

Besides, Yi Tian has two Spirit Blood Pills and one Yin Yang Transformation Pill.

Those pills are restricted boosters—Yi Tian can’t take any more himself.

Spirit Blood Pill boosts Spiritual Power, Spirit and three dimensions all at once.

Best bang for the buck: give it to Thunder Bull.

Thunder Bull’s a beast at close combat. Its Sun and Moon Thunder Sound, that’s Spirit + Desolate Elemental Power.

But Thunder Bull’s cultivation is just 5k. Let’s wait it out for now.

Yi Tian and the Little Kiddos each take a Nine-petaled Orchid.

Removes some pill poison from the body, and Yi Tian feels much better.

Current time: 4 p.m.

Lots of work left, but Yi Tian feels zero motivation.

Eleven Enlightenment Pills. Each dose takes two hours.

Yi Tian is just not in the mood!

He’s waiting for the War Intent Hall to finish construction.

Might as well chill—he goes to play bead collision with the Little Kiddos in the villa.

Fourth Child grabs a black bead and scores every shot.

Yi Tian thinks it might be some kind of beast core.

Beast cores come in black, gray, white, and yellow.

Beast cores vary in size too.

After half an hour of play, Yi Tian heads back to the sofa to rest up. Pills have left him wiped; focus is tough.

Opens up chat channel.

Checks zone channel gossip—everyone is talking about Yi Tian, or about Yi Tian-related happenings.

Yi Tian’s name is way too big now!

You could say: Yi Tian and Zone 10086, two worlds, two Lords.

Yi Tian’s out in front; they can’t even catch a whiff of his shadow.

p.m.

”Detected: new War Intent Hall in territory, territory points +30,000,000!”

”Current territory points: 107,108,850.”

War Intent Hall finished, territory about to upgrade—Yi Tian runs out of the villa pumped.

There’s a big furnace in the villa, so Yi Tian ditched his leather jacket.

But stepping outside, not even a hint of cold.

The fire inside Yi Tian is too damn hot—even this extreme cold weather feels like nothing.

”Congratulations, Lord! Territory upgraded to Level 10.”

”Level 10 Territory gets the City Lord title! Current Lord: One-star City Lord. Become a Nine-star City Lord with ten affiliated cities/towns, control over 100,000 square kilometers, territory fortune above 200%, and you’ll rank up as Sovereign.”

”Top 100 Sovereigns in Celestial Dao World will receive rewards: Strength, fortune, Spiritual Qi density...”

Uh-oh!

There are more rewards!

But the rewards are different, and honestly not as juicy as the Level 7 to Level 9 territory boosts.

”After becoming City Lord, territory Mist will be weakened. Lord, act within your means...”

Celestial Dao Stone adds, making Yi Tian’s face go dark.

Seriously, I just leveled up and now you tell me to not bite off more than I can chew.

I thought my power was about to skyrocket, but Mist is nerfed again.

And it’s nerfed specifically for City Lords.

Celestial Dao Stone didn’t say how much, but Yi Tian knows—it’s gotta be a brutal nerf.

The sprawling Celestial Dao World—the tough guys are countless.

If the big factions get hold of his info, they’ll hunt him down for sure.

The tallest tree gets the hardest wind.

Since the Golden List System popped up, Yi Tian couldn’t keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

The car always finds a road through the mountain—Yi Tian doesn’t fear a challenge.

At the very least, Yi Tian is fired up right now!

He can’t wait to see that Level 10 reward!

Just don’t send me some Jianmu Divine Tree or something like that...

Some stuff is awesome, Yi Tian admits, but he can’t handle it yet.

”Looks like territory points are gone now. So what about my Points Golden List?”

While Yi Tian ponders, Celestial Dao Stone drops another prompt: ”One-Star City Lord, more than 99,999,999 territory points. City rating is determined by Heaven and Earth Rules based on population, population strength, weapon power, city count, building level, building quantity, land area, arable area, and number of mineral veins.”

Yi Tian gets it!

He remains on the Points Golden List. Next time the Golden List updates, no more points shown—instead his One-Star City Lord ID will be at the top.

If another One-Star City Lord appears, Heaven and Earth Rules will judge, flawlessly, who deserves first place.

This time the star rating system is way more refined than straight points.

More like a real nation now.

Nine hard indicators, all straightforward.

Weapon power probably means combatants, mechanical puppets, that kind of thing.

Yi Tian’s One-Star City Lord title means future building points won’t count anymore.

Actually, Heaven and Earth Rules keep track of everything without missing a beat.

”Congratulations Lord, for being the first Trial Taker in Zone 66 to upgrade territory to Level 10! Reward: Top-Grade Spirit Wood Blessing Spirit Padauk, Five Elements Core x20, Giant Spirit Core x50, Overlord Core x50, Flowing Light Core x50, Fire Element Core x100, Gold Element Core x100, Wood Element Core x100, Water Element Core x100, Earth Element Core x100, Wind Element Core x100, Thunder Element Core x100, Light Element Core x100, Dark Element Core x100.”

”Congratulations Lord, first to reach Level 10 territory in Zone 10086! Reward: Spirit Pool Design Map x1, Purple Sand Spirit Soil x10 mu, Skill Grandmaster Upgrade Stone x3, Skill Master Upgrade Stone x10, Skill Upgrade Stone x30.”

”Congratulations Lord, first to upgrade territory to Level 10 in Celestial Dao World! Reward: Divine Artifact Five Elements Bead x1, Azure Heaven Divine Origin x1, Five-Star Divine Tree of Life x1, Celestial Dao Divine Skill Book x1, One-Star Divine Pill Celestial Spirit Transformation x1, Ordinary Divine Pill Beast God Pill x10.”

Damn!

Just look at those names, each one is next-level.

Ultimate reward, for real!

Yi Tian’s eyes glued to the word ”Divine Artifact”—he’s stunned!

Calm down!

It’s his, can’t run.

Top-Grade Spirit Wood Blessing Spirit Padauk Tree, territory Spiritual Qi density +100%. Padauk is prime material for magic artifacts and magic staves.

The zone rewards give Yi Tian another big wave of cores of all kinds.

Now he’s got 1,604 Element Cores, 478 Three-dimensional Cores, and 192 Five Elements Cores.

Even if he doesn’t make Five Elements Combatants, Yi Tian knows these are essentials for top-tier buildings.

Ten mu of Purple Sand Spirit Soil—Yi Tian plans to ship it to Sky Island and develop it as a magic island.

Spirit Pool Design Map: lets you build a ten-mu pond.

Spiritual Water forms in the pool; train in the pool, get cultivation speed boosts; bathe in the pool, get beauty and skincare.

Design Map: almost does anything!

Three grades of Skill Upgrade Stone, this batch’s generous.

Yi Tian’s now at 43 Skill Upgrade Stones total.

Good thing it’s just Skill Upgrade Stones—if it were Skill Upgrade Scrolls, Yi Tian’s head would explode.

Inside Yi Tian’s Storage Ring, there are also two Skill Master Upgrade Scrolls.

”Divine Artifact: Five Elements Bead. Crafted by Divine Spirits based on Divine-level Spiritual Treasure Five Elements Bead. Must recognize master to use; sub-Divine Spirits can’t even tap one-ten-thousandth of its power...”

Celestial Dao Stone’s introduction is basically no help.

Yi Tian gets Divine Artifact recognition, no problem!

Thanks to Seventh-Child’s Divine Artifact, Yi Tian knows the deal—Origin Divine Artifact, like Seventh-Child’s, just needs enough power to maximize control.

So controlling a Divine Artifact takes Celestial Spiritual Power.

So Spiritual Power controls the artifact—and you can imagine how strong that gets!

Yi Tian grabs the Five Elements Bead for later research.

”Azure Heaven Divine Origin, contains Rule Origin. Can boost any sub-Divine level talent up to Divine level. Only the Lord can use.”

Yi Tian’s heart skips a beat—what a treasure!

He’s got three body talents he can level up.

This moment, Yi Tian struggles: which one to upgrade?

Mountain Lifting and Cauldron Carrying—lots of strength, but would that make me a meathead? His main offensive is still Martial Arts Divine Techniques.

Yi Tian’s Mountain Lifting and Cauldron Carrying is SSS-level.

He’s more inclined to boost Stone Beast Bloodline and Flowing Wind.

”Stone Beast Bloodline! Man, my brain is stuck—if I make Stone Beast Bloodline Divine-level, I’ll basically be another Third Child; no fear of ambush at all. Hundred Tribulations Thunder Body, Ancient Blessing—Stone Beast Bloodline is clearly the best value for now. If it adds two or three new traits, at S-level at least, I’m invincible!”

Yi Tian slaps his forehead!

Agility’s tempting too, but Yi Tian’s agility talents are pitiful.

Other than Light as a Feather, all he’s got is 20% Half-Wind Body.

Five-Star Divine Tree of Life.

This is a young sapling, only two meters high, lush and vibrant, brimming with vitality.

Stands out starkly against the snow.

”Tree of Life: a super slowly-growing Divine Tree. As long as it’s got leaves, every morning one drop of Water of Life forms on the leaves. Once it matures, it bears Fruit of Life, which can resurrect Divine Spirits.”
