“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 74th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!

“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 74th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!

“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 74th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!”

After removing the illusion, Lin Huang spent less than five minutes and successfully broke through the 73rd checkpoint of the Stairway Tree. The record-breaking notifications popped up on all the Genius Union members’ Emperor’s Heart Rings.

“Damn, he broke the record again. It’s been less than ten minutes!”

“I’ve just posted a thread on the forum saying it’s impossible for him to break through the checkpoint within a short period of time. I feel like my whole face is burning up. ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3”

“The commenter above, is your face swollen now? ψ(｀∇´)ψ”

“There, there. I’ve gotten used to getting a slap in the face from Lin Xie. My face is thicker than the corner of the city wall now. (￣３￣)a”

“I think the commenter above is giving out some strange vibes…”

A few minutes after the discussions went on, another three Stairway Tree notifications chimed again.

“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 75th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!”

“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 75th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!”

“Congratulations to the Deputy Chief of the Heaven Alliance, Lin Xie, for entering the 75th checkpoint and breaking the Stairway Tree record!”

Everyone was speechless now.

The three notifications about Lin Xie in the morning flooded everyone’s screens nine times.

Moreover, it was a system notification from the Stairway Tree which one could not block. Even if they were to log out of the Genius Union, they would receive the notifications on their Emperor’s Heart Rings, so they were forced to look at the notifications.

Those who insisted that it was impossible for Lin Xie to pass the higher checkpoints again went completely silent after seeing the notifications.

However, Lin Huang logged out again after realizing that the 75th checkpoint was a monster stage.

The people in the Genuis Union thought it was strange for him to log out all of a sudden.

Most of them had the same thought pop into their head. ‘Did Lin Xie fail?’

The first thing Lin Huang did after logging out was to look at his Emperor’s Heart Ring to check the reward for breaking the reward.

He glanced through the nine public notifications and scrolled down. Then, he finally saw the rewards for breaking the record.

“Congratulations, Lin Xie, for breaking the Stairway Tree record. You’ve been rewarded with a bizarre seed.”

“Congratulations, Lin Xie, for breaking the Stairway Tree record. You’ve been rewarded with a God-level soul crystal (Virtual God rank-3)”

“Congratulations, Lin Xie, for breaking the Stairway Tree record. You’ve been rewarded with a God-level soul crystal (Virtual God rank-3)”

“A bizarre seed and two God-level soul crystals. Not bad at all,” Lin Huang murmured in satisfaction.

The bizarre seed was comparable to a unique god item. Lin Huang had obtained a Sword Spirit the last time he integrated one. He had no idea what he would get from the one that he had just obtained.

Meanwhile, he knew exactly what could the two God-level soul crystals do.

“With Virtual God rank-3 god-level soul crystals, one should be able to boost one God Figurine’s Combat Soul to Virtual God rank-1. I can boost two of them with the two soul crystals.”

Just when Lin Huang was going to summon his God Figurine’s Combat Souls for elevating the combat strength, his Emperor’s Heart Ring began vibrating.

It was the acting chief of the Heaven Alliance, Jian Fei, who was calling. Although Lin Huang thought it was a little odd, he accepted the video call request anyway.

“What’s up?” Lin Huang asked directly upon seeing the projection of Jian Fei’s chubby face.

“Deputy Chief Lin, congratulations for breaking the Stairway Tree record!” Jian Fei stepped back and revealed half of his body as he congratulated while smiling.

“It was just luck.” Lin Huang smirked.

“Luck is just a part of ability. You’re the only one in the Genius Union who made it. This proves your ability,” Jian Fei proceeded to compliment.

“Just tell me whatever you’re going to say, Chief Jian.”

“Well, not only do the people from the Genius Union know about you breaking the record today, but it’s spread to the entire cultivation world. Some media representatives contacted me, in hopes of interviewing you…”

Lin Huang got a rough idea of what Jian Fei was trying to say before he was done speaking. He wanted to seize the opportunity to boost the publicity of the Heaven Alliance with Lin Huang’s fame.

“I’ll agree to the interview, but I’ll only do it with one media representative. There’s no need to say the same thing to different media representatives. It’s a waste of my time and others who are watching the news.”

“Sure, I’ll make the arrangements.” Although Lin Huang had strict conditions, Jian Fei accepted it anyway. “Where should we hold the interview?”

“The venue…” Lin Huang thought about it and decided not to do it in Emperor City. He had been gaining too much attention lately, which was something he did not want more of. “Let’s do it at First City in Division 1 then.”

“There’s a Stabubucks Coffee in southwest of First City’s Union Square. Let’s do the interview there.”

“Sure, the media hopes to do the interview today. Do you have time today?”

“Yes, but the earlier, the better. I have something else to do after I’m done with that.”

“I’ll discuss with the media and I’ll call you as soon as the time is set.” Jian Fei hung up immediately.

Soon, he sent a message over.

“The time has been set at 1 p.m. We’ll meet at First City’s Stabubucks Coffee. The media that’ll be interviewing you is The Pioneer.”

“I’ll be there on time.” Lin Huang gave a simple reply. Naturally, Lin Huang knew about The Pioneer.

Although the media did not provide the most publicity, it was the Union Government’s official publication. They rarely interviewed people who were not Union Government members.

However, it was beneficial to Lin Huang. At least, such an official media would not ask awkward and strange questions whenever they questioned people.

Seeing that there was still time, Lin Huang took out the two god-level soul crystals that he had just obtained. He then summoned the Destructive Divine Mammoth and the Ninetails Lynx. Then, he put the two soul crystals into their bodies.

The two God Figurine’s Combat Souls began refining the soul crystals immediately.

On the other hand, Lin Huang set his alarm clock and began a new round of refining Godhead.

He did not integrate the bizarre seed that he had just gotten right away because he was not sure how long it would take for it to activate. He had too much on his plate right now, so he could only put it aside at the moment and figure out what to do about the bizarre seed after he was done with his stuff.

Soon, over two hours had passed and it was almost 12.30 p.m.

The alarm clock on Lin Huang’s Emperor’s Heart Ring began ringing, stirring him from his Godhead refinement.

He opened his eyes and realized that the two God Figurine’s Combat Souls had yet to refine the soul crystals completely. He then left the both of them behind at the Emperor Palace, and summoned the Divine Sun Tree to watch both the God Figurine’s Combat Souls before walking out of Emperor Palace. He headed towards First City.
