Chapter 1614: The Secret of the Great Heaven Palace

When Lin Huang successfully elevated to first-rank heavenly god-level, not only had his physical body broken through Heavenly God limits, but it had also reached a level comparable to that of a half-step Lord. His God’s soul had broken through as well, officially crossing the threshold to lord-level.

Apart from that, the original limit of twenty god sequence chains that he could borrow had now increased to a hundred chains.

It could be said that he was invincible among Heavenly Gods now.

He even suspected that he might have the ability to fight a half-step Lord if he encountered one.

This was still based solely on brute force alone.

In terms of mastery and skill, all of his God Weapons had been upgraded due to his elevation.

His combat sword, combat armor, telekinetic weapons, and one of his offense and defense Soul Weapons—a total of four God Weapons—had successfully been elevated to level-4. They had directly leveled up from god sequence relics to Dao Weapons.

This set of equipment could fully raise his abilities by another level.

Apart from these personal changes, Lin Huang could sense many other changes as well.

His successful elevation had fully unlocked authorization for the Great Heaven Territory. He could now put the Great Heaven Territory into his God Territory and leave with it. The authorization to accelerate time by ten thousand times had also been unlocked.

Apart from that, Lin Huang’s authority over Swords1 to 10 had finally been unlocked as well. Not only that, but he could also bring the Great Heaven Territory’s living beings out of the Great Heaven Territory now.

After checking over the authorization for the Great Heaven Territory, Lin Huang soon noticed that the Great Heaven inheritance in his mind had finally been fully unsealed.

He immediately began an in-depth exploration.

Given that Great Heaven had been a supreme powerhouse who had dominated an entire era, his cultivation experiences were naturally a valuable reference.

Within these fully unlocked memories, Lin Huang very soon came across information that utterly shocked him.

“It seems the Great Heaven Palace isn’t just a top-grade god sequence relic?!”

Great Heaven had deliberately sequestered this secret within the deepest reaches of his memory, and now it had finally been unsealed.

The Great Heaven Palace’s real name was unknown. It was a damaged treasure that Great Heaven had obtained from a ruin in the universe.

These ruins were an ancient battlefield. It was said that there had been Almighties—entities above lord-level—who had died there.

Lin Huang had thought all along that the damage in the Great Heaven Palace was due to Great Heaven’s unification. Only now did he find out that this treasure was already over 80% damaged when Great Heaven obtained it.

Not only that, the treasure’s original form was a cauldron. It was Great Heaven who had camouflaged it into a palace, so the form had been in use until the present day.

“I’ve always said that a function like the time accelerator doesn’t seem to be something that a god sequence relic could possess.” Lin Huang had always thought the Great Heaven Palace’s functions were too overblown. “Even if it contained Time Sequence, being able to accelerate time tenfold is already impressive enough. Not only that, it can affect the flow of time in the entire Great Heaven Territory…”

In the meantime, the authorization for accelerating time in the Great Heaven Palace had increased exponentially from one thousand times to ten thousand times now.

Lin Huang could not help wondering if it would affect the flow of time in his God Territory if he were to put the Great Heaven Territory in there. After all, his God Territory was much bigger than the Great Heaven Territory.

If he were able to do that, once the time flow was ten thousand times faster, he would be able to train up a significant number of powerhouses.

Lin Huang gave it a shot and attempted to move the Great Heaven Palace into his God Territory.

However, the attempt failed. The Great Heaven Palace’s deeply slumbering weapon spirit transmitted a wisp of consciousness, indicating that it was unwilling to be moved out of the Great Heaven Territory.

“In that case, if I refine the Great Heaven Territory completely, that would be alright, wouldn’t it?” Lin Huang asked in some frustration.

After a moment of silence, the weapon spirit gave its consent.

Lin Huang immediately began refining the Great Heaven Territory. It was only during the refining process that he discovered just how vast the Great Heaven Territory was. It even extended beyond the half-step Lord God Territories that he had just finished refining.

Furthermore, as there were many living beings, the benefits that the Great Heaven Territory brought to Lin Huang’s God Territory were on par with those of a half-step Lord God Territory.

“Impressive—I can’t believe this is equivalent to refining a half-step Lord God Territory,” Lin Huang could not help exclaiming.

This time, the refinement process lasted more than four hundred days. It took even longer than refining the half-step Lord God Territories previously.

Refining the Great Heaven Territory had also caused the number of living beings in the God Territory within Lin Huang’s body to increase more than threefold.

However, when the refinement process was complete, he felt something was lacking when he compared this with refining half-step Lord God Territories.

He tested the effects of using time acceleration and discovered that not only did the effect extend to the area outside the location of the Great Heaven Territory, but it also spread through his entire God Territory.

This was good news, no doubt about it!

Lin Huang thought for a moment, then retrieved a half-step Lord God Territory and proceeded to refine it.

Time passed. A year went by swiftly.

Lin Huang felt an obvious difference when refining this God Territory. He sensed his God Territory had really absorbed the nutrients.

“So it has to be a half-step Lord’s God Territory?”

He still did not elevate, but he knew this was because his God Territory had not yet reached its limits.

Consequently, he retrieved another half-step Lord God Territory and began another round of refining.

Close to one year passed, and the second God Territory was now completely refined. Lin Huang’s combat strength finally advanced a notch and elevated to second-rank heavenly god-level.

“The number of half-step Lord God Territories required for elevation has increased?! Judging from the situation, the number required might very well keep getting higher and higher…” Lin Huang had initially thought that once he had reached heavenly god-level, he could elevate a rank every time he refined a half-step Lord God Territory. From the looks of things now, he had been entirely too naïve.

After elevating to second-rank, he did not bother wasting time. He resumed closed-door cultivation to refine the remaining three half-step Lord God Territories.

This round of closed-door cultivation went on for three years before Lin Huang finally managed to completely refine all three God Territories.

However, he still had not achieved a breakthrough. He remained stuck at second-rank heavenly god-level.

He could more or less sense that he should be able to elevate if he refined one more half-step Lord God Territory.

“It’s true then—the number of half-step Lord God Territories required increases for every elevation in rank.

“One for first-rank, two for second-rank, four for third-rank… If the numbers keep doubling according to this pattern, I wonder if there’ll be enough half-step Lords in the entire great world for me to kill.” Lin Huang felt rather frustrated.

Naturally, this was just a joke.

One must be aware that in the entire great world, half-step Lords were the ones who had the highest combat strength, second only to Lords. They were respected entities in every major organization.

Whether it was in the God Territory, the human world, or in other tribes, fighting between Lords and half-step Lords was basically prohibited. The reason was that they were the ones with the highest combat strength in the great world. Losing even one would be a great loss for the entire tribe, equivalent to damaging their foundations.

If anyone with nothing better to do took it upon themselves to kill a half-step Lord belonging to any of the tribes, they would only end up becoming the tribe’s common enemy. The entire tribe would pursue them.

This no longer had anything to do with which organization the half-step Lord belonged to.

Naturally, if they killed Abyssal creatures or the Bug Tribe’s half-step Lords, the other tribes might applaud them for it.

There were only two ways for Lin Huang to obtain half-step Lord God Territories.

One was to go into the Abyss or enter the Bug Tribe’s battlefield. Another was to trade a massive amount of resources for them.

He could not kill the half-step Lords in the God Territory because even Death Sickle might turn against him directly if he did so.
