Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal Chapter 1068 - 449: Dual Cultivation Secret Technique! 3rd-Class Star Lord!
Previously on Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal...
Granny Ji Yu chimed in, "Indeed! I've heard whispers as well, but I'm unsure if this 'God' speaks the truth."
Wang Teng gave a slight nod. "That 'God' is merely an avatar!"
Boom~!
The moment those words left his lips, everyone's expressions shifted once more.
Granny Feng Qi marveled, "If an avatar resides in the Main God Realm, then its true essence must possess unimaginable power!"
Qian Xunji added with concern, "We've drawn the attention of a Divine King; this doesn't bode well for our situation."
Wang Teng nodded again. "Most likely, its true essence is that of a Divine King. Given my current talent and power, to withstand the arrival of a Divine King, I'll need to achieve at least the strength of a Quasi-God King."
This statement caused a ripple of exchanged glances amongst the assembled group.
A Quasi-God King!
That represented a Great Power capable of effortlessly shattering the Main God Realm!
Could Your Majesty truly ascend to such a level in such a limited timeframe?
Wang Teng sensed their collective apprehension.
He continued, "Looking at the available paths forward, there are indeed opportunities for me to rapidly enhance my strength. For instance, the rewards from this competition, the Points Mall, the second level of the Taichu Sacred Land, and the Celestial Martial Trial, along with the Star Lord Trial."
"All of these present significant opportunities! If I can seize them effectively, my cultivation realm will undoubtedly advance swiftly. Reaching the might of a Quasi-God King before the main essence arrives is not an impossibility."
At this juncture, Ji Ziyue interjected, "Master, from what I understand, the higher one's Star Lord level, the greater control they possess over a planet's capabilities. Attaining Third-Class Star Lord status would grant the ability to manipulate a planet and traverse the cosmos."
"This could potentially allow us to evade the attacks of formidable enemies."
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. "That's an excellent point. Can Fifth-Level and Fourth-Level Star Lords also move planets?"
Ji Ziyue shook her head. "Fifth-Level and Fourth-Level Star Lords can command the Power of Heaven and Earth, but they lack the ability to move entire planets."
Wang Teng understood immediately. "It appears my future objective in the Star Lord Trial must be to strive for Third-Class Star Lord. I wonder what level of strength is required to even have a chance at achieving Third-Class Star Lord?"
Ji Ziyue pondered this for a moment. "Our ancestor once mentioned that possessing strength above the Mid-Stage Main God Realm offers roughly a ten percent probability."
Wang Teng exclaimed in shock, "Mid-Stage Main God Realm, and only a ten percent chance? It seems this Star Lord Trial is far more arduous than I initially anticipated!"
Ji Ziyue sighed softly. "Indeed, the difficulty is exceptionally high! Forget Third-Class Star Lords; in every Star Lord Trial held once every millennium, out of ten thousand candidates, merely a handful manage to achieve Fifth-Level Star Lord. Master, this trial presents a truly monumental challenge for you."
Her companions nodded in solemn agreement.
Ji Ziyue continued, "However, achieving Star Lord status itself brings immense benefits. Not only will you receive additional rewards, but you'll also be able to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth from planets for your personal use."
"For instance, a Star Lord at the Early-Stage Main God Realm, by wielding planetary power, could contend with Great Powers in the Mid-Stage Main God Realm. In essence, every Star Lord holds supreme authority on their respective planet."
Wang Teng's eyes gleamed with renewed interest, thinking inwardly that this was a viable strategy!
With this newfound perspective, his eagerness for the Star Lord Trial intensified.
He then announced, "Everyone, the current situation is clear. My primary objective is to attain Third-Class Star Lord status; once accomplished, our Celestial Court will be secure."
Ji Ziyue considered the timeline carefully. "Master, I've calculated the duration. The third round of the competition concludes in six days. The day after that marks the opening of the Sacred Land, which typically remains accessible for three days."
"Following those three days, the Star Lord Trial commences and also lasts approximately three days. Based on this calculation, you achieving Star Lord status would occur about thirteen days from now."
"However, the 'God' mentioned before his demise that his essence would arrive in ten days; won't that make your attainment of Star Lord status too late?"
This crucial reminder caused the expressions of those in charge to falter slightly.
This was indeed a significant predicament.
Even Wang Teng's brow furrowed slightly.
The ten-day timeframe was imprecise.
It could mean eleven days, or perhaps even fifteen.
Wang Teng could not afford to take such a gamble; failure meant a catastrophic downfall for the Celestial Court.
Just then, Bodhi Zi seemed to recall something and looked up at Wang Teng.
"Realm Master, do you not possess the Current World Divine Book, which was transformed by Zhou Yi? Why not employ it to deduce the timing of the enemy's strike?"
Wang Teng's eyes suddenly brightened.
He swiftly retrieved the Current World Divine Book.
The Divine Book materialized, its radiance stretching for thousands of miles, emitting a terrifying, world-shaking aura that caused the very heavens and earth to tremble slightly!
Ji Ziyue and the others watched with astonishment.
Bodhi Zi silently admired the display.
The Current World Divine Book, now an upper-grade divine tier item, was two tiers above Zhou Yi's current level.
Wang Teng inhaled deeply, placing a hand on the Current World Divine Book and initiating its activation.
Buzz~! Seconds later, the Divine Book pulsed with brilliant spiritual light, emitting a faint vibration.
Subsequently, a sequence of golden hexagrams, formed from starlight, ascended and hovered in the air.
Wang Teng observed the floating hexagrams, his expression thoughtful.
These formations seemed to subtly harmonize with the Divination Star Map talent residing within him.
Although he hadn't mastered hexagram interpretation, the general meaning of this particular hexagram became clear.
It signified heavenly omens, foretelling fortune and misfortune, with a Saint following their path!
Interpreting the hexagram's message, the next attack from God's forces was predicted to occur in fifteen days.
Fifteen days hence!
By then, he would have successfully completed the Star Lord Trial and made his return to the Fertile Star Realm.
This realization brought a distinct look of delight to Wang Teng's eyes.
Concurrently, Little Douzi and the others held their breaths, their gazes fixed with tense anticipation.
After a moment, Wang Teng slowly removed his hand.
The golden hexagrams dissolved into scattered starlight, gradually fading away.
"Master, how did it turn out?" Little Douzi inquired, his voice laced with anxiety.
Everyone else also looked at Wang Teng eagerly.
Before Wang Teng could respond, Bodhi Zi interjected with excitement.
"Your Majesty, these hexagrams are truly extraordinary! The enemy's attack is indeed anticipated in fifteen days!"
Wang Teng offered a smile and a nod.
Witnessing this, everyone collectively exhaled in relief and broke into joyful expressions.
"That's wonderful! Fifteen days from now, Your Majesty will have concluded the Star Lord Trial!"
"Precisely! As long as the boss is present, we have nothing to fear from enemy assaults!"
Joy illuminated every face at this moment.
Observing this scene, Wang Teng's own mood lifted slightly.
At the very least, the critical issue of timing was now definitively resolved.
Nevertheless, he took another deep breath and stated, "Even so, we must not let our guard down. The Star Lord Trial presents considerable challenges. I also need to dedicate all my effort to enhancing my strength."
Ji Ziyue quickly added, "Master, we will assist you from now on, employing every available method to boost your power. I wonder what avenues currently exist that could help you further increase your strength?"
Feng Xi chimed in, "Regarding the feedback for unlocking 2 million combat power, it requires 400 territories. Currently, our Celestial Court possesses 346 territories. Once we conquer the remaining remnants and claim their territories, it should be nearly sufficient."
Qian Lingxue also remarked, "For our Celestial Court to advance to Level 12, we also need 400 territories. This truly serves to kill two birds with one stone!"
Little Douzi exclaimed with anticipation, "Then let's waste no time in eliminating the remnants and seizing those territories!"
"Indeed! This matter brooks no delay!" Liu Erlong urged as well.
Following these pronouncements, a palpable sense of urgency permeated everyone's hearts.
Only through Wang Teng's continued strength could the Celestial Court ensure its ongoing development.
Otherwise, should the Divine King arrive, the repercussions would be unimaginable...
