Monster Paradise

Time passed by day after day in the Great Heaven Palace.

Lin Huang immersed himself in cultivation mode completely, unable to extricate himself.

Although the time flow in the Great Heaven Palace had been sped up 1,000 times, over two months had passed in the outside world.

Lin Huang had only just completed cultivating the 71st to 80th visualization images, and the strength of his Divine Telekinesis had elevated once more.

As he visualized over and over again, the automatic cultivation of Seamless within him was also accelerating.

From the initial automatic gain of 1,000 telekinetic threads per hour, it had sped up to 3,000 threads per hour after he had finished visualizing the 80th image.

Meanwhile, the strength of his Divine Telekinesis had skyrocketed from sixth-rank heavenly god-level to peak eighth-rank heavenly god-level.

Lin Huang had initially wanted to continue closed-door cultivation to further elevate the strength of his Divine Telekinesis. However, he quietly calculated the visualization time it would take and discovered that to complete the cultivation of the 81st to 90th images, he would have to spend close to two years for that, even when time had been sped up 1,000 times. He gave up on the idea.

Temporarily setting aside the cultivation of his Divine Telekinesis, he retrieved the Sword seal fragment that Virtuoso had given him.

According to Virtuoso, a Sword seal was the Sword Dao seal that consolidated in a Heavenly God sword cultivator’s body. As soon as the Heavenly God died, the Dao seal in their body would shatter automatically, becoming fragments of various sizes.

Lin Huang obtained a similar fragment back when he killed the Regal Sword Killer in the gravel world. Since it looked like a page from a book and also contained a massive amount of sword skills, he had named it the One Page Sword Scripture.

Back then, the One Page Sword Scripture had a corner missing.

Upon his return to the gravel world, he had then killed the revived Regal Sword Killer and obtained the missing corner.

When the two fragments integrated, they formed an ancient and mysterious seal tactic.

Lin Huang only found out that the seal tactic was actually a complete Sword seal after listening to Virtuoso’s explanation. When he discovered this, he was astounded, because he already had within him a complete Dao seal that only Heavenly Gods could consolidate.

If he could control the Dao seal perfectly, it was equivalent to directly possessing lord-level ability.

However, until now, he still could not understand why the Regal Sword Killer would have a complete Sword seal within him.

According to what Virtuoso said, when a Heavenly God died, the Dao seal would scatter to the four winds after it shattered. Even if there were other Heavenly God powerhouses present, they might not be able to obtain all of the fragments.

This was because the impact from the Dao seal shattering was terrifying, and even Heavenly God powerhouses would be impacted if they were too close. Moreover, the shattered Dao seal might pierce through layers of space and time, becoming instantly untraceable.

Although he could not understand why the Regal Sword Killer had a complete Sword seal within his body, Lin Huang did not dwell on it.

He could sense clearly that the Sword seal within him had a burning desire for the Sword seal fragment in his hand.

After only a slight moment of consideration, he placed the Sword seal fragment—that looked like a torn page—into his inner world.

Almost at the same time the Sword seal fragment entered his inner world, the battle sword in the Sword Soul’s hand released an infinite sun-like golden ray.

Only Lin Huang was able to see that the source of the golden ray was the completed Sword seal.

Under the illumination of the golden ray, the Sword seal fragment seemed to have come alive. Golden divine patterns lit up on the torn page, and the ray of light grew more and more.

A moment later, the torn page transformed into golden sparkles and gathered around the divine patterns. Meanwhile, the divine patterns were like tiny golden snakes surrounded by hazy starlight, surging rapidly to where the Sword Spirit was.

At last, they penetrated the Sword seal on top of the Sword Heart.

The integration of the Sword seal fragment initiated an immediate transformation in the original Sword seal.

One by one, the divine patterns rearranged themselves. This process lasted for a full 12 days, finally creating an even more complex and mysterious Sword seal.

Lin Huang glanced at it quickly, not daring to stare at it too much. He could only roughly judge that the new Sword seal was 70 to 80 percent similar to the previous one.

As the new Sword seal took shape, he felt as if his Sword Dao heavenly rule had been unblocked by an invisible force. It began to grow more powerful at lightning speed.

Originally, he had only recently elevated to Sword Dao heavenly rule. To be exact, he had only just crossed the first threshold of level-1, Heavenly Sword.

However, he could clearly sense that his rank was now advancing.

Within ten seconds, he had elevated to the peak of Heavenly Sword and was still advancing.

After remaining at the peak of Heavenly Sword for over ten seconds, Lin Huang suddenly felt that his comprehension of Sword Dao had reached a new level.

A second later, his Sword Dao heavenly rule broke through straight away from level-1, Heavenly Sword, to level-2, Heavenly Heart.

This breakthrough that came out of nowhere puzzled Lin Huang.

He had even planned to go into closed-door cultivation once he advanced to ninth-rank true god-level, before breaking through to heavenly god-level. He wanted to try his best to achieve a breakthrough to Heavenly Heart for his Sword Dao.

Never had he expected to achieve that same goal without even being aware of it.

‘What should I do before elevating to Heavenly God-level now? Should I achieve a Sword Dao heavenly rule breakthrough to level-3, which is Heavenly Dao?!’ Lin Huang grumbled quietly to himself.

Right now, the elevation of Sword Dao heavenly rule was finally slowing down.

Lin Huang had honestly not expected that a mere Sword seal fragment could directly elevate his Sword Dao heavenly rule by a rank.

Moreover, apart from the elevation in Sword Dao rank, he discovered that his Sword Dao inheritance memories had increased as well.

There were around one-fifth more memories compared to before.

Lin Huang was rather upset about that.

He already had no time to learn many of the original sword skills in the inheritance memories that he obtained previously. Before he was done with his homework, he had now been given more.

He did not even bother to go check his inheritance memories; instead, he merely focused on an item in his hand that he had retrieved.

A purplish-black crystal the size of a thumb hovered above his palm.

It was Death Sickle’s reward – a half-step lord-level God Territory Shell Remnant.

According to Buried Heaven’s explanation, this God Territory Shell Remnant’s owner used to be an Abyssal half-step Lord who had been killed by two of Death Sickle’s Blood Sickle members.

After his death, a Blood Sickle member retrieved the God Territory in his body and put it through a proper cleansing. There was no trace of Abyssal energy left behind at all now.

When the Blood Sickle member was cleansing it, he purged all of the living things in the God Territory as well.

Therefore, the God Territory Shell Remnant was merely an empty shell now.

However, to Lin Huang, it had great value despite being just an empty shell.

This was because as soon as integration was completed, it would mean that he possessed a half-step lord-level God Territory immediately.

His God Territory, Monster Paradise, would also be able to obtain a corresponding advancement. The coverage range alone would expand hundreds and thousands of times…
