<h4>Chapter 1618 - Elevated Sword Dao—Complete-Stage Heavenly Dao!</h4>
After listing his items for auction on Royal’s page, Lin Huang did not intend to waste the ten days. Instead, he entered the Great Heaven Pce once more.
He adjusted the time flow to be 10,000 times faster than the outside world and began another round of closed-door cultivation.??
Of course, Lin Huang’s main objective was to refine the twenty-six half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants that Death Sickle and Virtuoso had contributed.
This time, his closed-door cultivation took over nine thousand days or so.
At the end of it, he hadpletely refined all twenty-six half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants.
Hisbat strength had also soared all the way from second-rank to fifth-rank heavenly god-level.
As he had anticipated, the number of half-step Lords’ God Territories needed for refining doubled every time he elevated a rank.
He only had to refine 1 God Territory when he elevated to first-rank, then 2 for second-rank, 4 for third-rank... all in all, it would require 256 to elevate to ninth-rank.
Furthermore, this was only the number of half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants required to elevate from eight-rank to ninth-rank. If he started counting from first-rank to ninth-rank, he would need a total of 511.
If one Dao Weapon could only be exchanged for 50 half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants, then he would need 11 Dao Weapons to be able to obtain enough half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants to elevate to ninth-rank.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes, he did not feel at ease in the least.
Although he seemed to be elevating faster than other people at the moment, he required a hundred or a thousand times more resources than they did.
After pushing these convoluted thoughts to the back of his mind, he checked through the changes that had taken ce.
His physical body and God’s soul’s strength had seen significant advancement. His Divine Telekinesis was also considerably more formidable.
Most importantly, the number of god sequence chains that he could borrow had skyrocketed from 200 to 1,600.
"I think I should be much more powerful than many half-step Lords now," Lin Huang roughly gauged his ability. However, he did not think that he could call himself a half-step lord-level powerhouse at the moment.
After thoroughly checking over his current status, his expression soon became rather odd.
"I can’t believe that a genuine sword cultivator like myself is currently being held back by Sword Dao cultivation..."
Although he had reached the pinnacle of Heavenly Heart quite some time ago, he had not been able to experience a breakthrough.
"It hasn’t even been a day in the outside world, and the auction will only end in another nine days. In the Great Heaven Pce, that would be more than ny thousand days." Lin Huang had no intention of wasting the remaining nine days. "I’ll seize the opportunity to focus on cultivating my Sword Dao then."
It did not take Lin Huang very long to list out, one by one, all of the Sword Dao inheritances that he had obtained. He then began to practice by simting them in his mind.
Days passed in the Great Heaven Pce.
Lin Huang began simting the Sword Dao inheritances one after the other, starting with mythical-level, then going to supreme god-level (including Rule Bending Power), and onto Pure Spirit (including sequence power).
There were not only inheritances he had obtained from the many sword cultivators in the Great Heaven Territory, but also endless inheritances from the Sword Scripture.
After all his Pure Spirit sword skills had been simted for practice, a Sword Dao general outline consolidated swiftly in his mind.
This Sword Dao general outline had a core of over thirty thousand Pure Spirit sword skills, millions of supreme god-level sword skills as its frame, and more than ten million god-level sword skills to flesh it out, as well as hundreds of millions of transcendent sword skills as its outer covering.
As soon as the Sword Dao general outline had consolidated, Lin Huang did not even have time to amend and streamline it before his Sword Dao achieved a breakthrough right away. It elevated from level-2, Heavenly Heart to level-3, Heavenly Dao!
Days passed in the Great Heaven Pce, as well as in the outside world.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes again, twenty-one days had passed in the outside world.
He had never thought that this round of closed-door cultivation would take so long.
After looking at the progress of his Sword Dao, he felt satisfied.
Although his Sword Dao had not yet achieved a breakthrough and he still remained at Heavenly Dao level, he had alreadye toplete-stage Heavenly Dao.
Only an opportunity separated him from a Sword Dao breakthrough and the consolidation of a Sword seal.
This period of closed-door cultivation also gave him aplete understanding of what a sword cultivator would have to do in order to be a Lord.
It was very simple; all one had to do was to consolidate a Sword seal.
Of course, this was easy to say, but in reality, not many people could do it.
However, he had no intention of going down this path since someone else had already done it. Even if he were more powerful than other sword cultivators, it was difficult for him to surpass the essential gap in abilities.
He wanted to use his method to achieveplete-stage in all aspects that nobody could surpass, and then go onto be a Lord!
It was not until he came out of the Great Heaven Pce that Lin Huang discovered twenty-one days had passed in the outside world.
The amount of time needed for this round of closed-door cultivation had taken far longer than he had anticipated.
Once he returned to the Devil Hunter Star Zone, he checked his Royal identity token immediately.
The auction had already ended eleven days ago.
When he saw the amount of the final bid, Lin Huang was clearly stunned for a moment.
"The bidding went up to such a high price?!"
The final bid for the saber Dao Weaponry was 112 half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants.
The battle Dao Armor’s final price was even higher—127 half-step Lords’ God Territory Shell Remnants.
Lin Huang doubtfully looked at the God Territory Shell Remnants within his identity token; the exchanges had been fullypleted.
The traded items from both the Royal market and the auction would be stored in both parties’ identity tokens respectively. There were no extra logistics procedures required. This was also a Space Rule inherent in a Royal identity token.
Both batches of God Territory Shell Remnants had been automatically moved into Lin Huang’s identity token eleven days ago uponpletion of the trade.
With doubts in his mind, Lin Huang looked through them with Divine Telekinesis. It only took a moment for him to understand why two such low-quality Dao Weapons could be sold for such a high price.
Among the total of 239 God Territory Shell Remnants, seventy percent of them were from Abyssal half-step Lords, while thirty percent of them were from Bug Tribe half-step Lords.
None of them had been cleansed...
Lin Huang could even faintly smell a pungent stench of blood and a disgusting reek. Clearly, some of these half-step Lords had been killed very recently.
Abyssal God Territory Shell Remnants were hardly worth anything as they were contaminated by Abyssal energy. Cleansing them required considerable effort. Furthermore, only Lords and powerhouses above Lords had the ability to cleanse half-step lord-level Abyssal God Territory Shell Remnants.
As for the Bug Tribe’s God Territory Shell Remnants, nobody wanted them as they were just too ipatible.
Compared to other God Territories of the same rank, refining Bug Tribe God Territories of that rank might well take several dozen times longer or more. Not only that, the Bug Tribe God Territories might be expelled as well. Not only would one be unable to strengthen their personal God Territory, but it might also cause problems for their own God Territory.
However, none of these things were problems for Lin Huang at all.
