45: Chapter 45 The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Invasion Arrives

"Holy shit."

In the Prodigy Group, everyone was stunned.

They had seen arrogant people before, but they had never seen anyone this arrogant.

After all, they were Prodigies; usually, they were the only ones allowed to be arrogant, but now, Lin Xiao had shown off in front of everyone.

A wave of defiance immediately welled up in them.

"It's over."

Wei Xuanqi felt his heart sink. He had worked hard to suppress the warmongers in the Prodigy Group, but after Lin Xiao's words, there was no way those guys could hold back.

As expected.

"Yun Zhiyue: My hot temper can't take this. Lin Xiao, as long as you can survive until the tenth day, I will be the first to upgrade my territory to Level 3."

"Chu Ran: Count me in."

"Cao Haotian: And me."

...

Messages popped up one after another.

A full dozen Prodigies immediately stated their positions.

Every single one of these Prodigies was a War Lord, and furthermore, they were the warmongers among War Lords.

They had already been itching to act after seeing Lin Xiao upgrade his territory to Level 3 first, and now they couldn't hold back any longer.

The fact that they didn't upgrade their territories to Level 3 on the spot was already a sign of their restraint.

The other Prodigies remained silent.

They were relatively calm; after all, upgrading to a Level 3 territory concerned their life and death, so they wouldn't make a decision on a whim.

Of course, don't let their silence fool you. If they were to see Lin Xiao standing tall despite the siege of Third-Tier Lords from the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race, they might just follow suit and upgrade.

"@Yun Zhiyue, you can count as the second at best."

Lin Xiao chuckled, and after sending that message, he closed the Prodigy Group.

Wei Xuanqi, Yun Zhiyue, and others in the group sent friend requests, and Lin Xiao accepted them all.

After a while, Qin Yiyi returned.

Seemingly worried that Lin Xiao would be invaded, causing communication to be cut off, she had moved very quickly.

"Lin Xiao, this is great. I didn't expect you to have obtained a special building that can conceal heavenly secrets; such buildings are extremely rare."

Qin Yiyi said excitedly.

After she finished speaking, a trade request was sent over.

Lin Xiao opened it and saw various Cultivate resources, as well as the Materials needed to build the tianji pavilion.

The Advanced resources for building the tianji pavilion were very rare, and he had none on hand. He hadn't expected Qin Yiyi to provide them all.

"Thank President Gu for me." Lin Xiao said.

It went without saying that these Advanced resources had been approved by President Gu Yizhou.

After completing the trade, Qin Yiyi explained the special features of this type of building.

"This type of special building cannot break the System rules. In other words, if an invader stays in your territory for more than ten days, or if the damage to your territory exceeds 50%, your territory coordinates will still be exposed."

"However, it can block all other methods of detecting and locating your territory coordinates."

Under Qin Yiyi's explanation, Lin Xiao understood.

There were far more ways to detect and locate a Lord's territory coordinates than just meeting the System rules.

As long as an invader had been to Lin Xiao's territory, a Karma connection was formed between them.

Those methods could follow this trace of Karma to detect and locate Lin Xiao's territory coordinates, making them impossible to guard against.

As such, a special building that could conceal heavenly secrets was very important.

It could block all detection and location attempts from others.

The tianji pavilion was of Perfect grade, and it could exert the strongest concealment effect in this First Source Sea.

None of the detection and location attempts made through equipment or items could break through its concealment.

Of course, this didn't mean Lin Xiao could rest easy.

Talents and skills were not restricted by the First Source Sea.

If the opponent's Talent and skills were too powerful, they could still break through the tianji pavilion's concealment and obtain Lin Xiao's territory coordinates.

"Tsk, as expected, wiping out every invader who has been to my territory is the best choice." Lin Xiao shook his head.

According to Qin Yiyi.

Talents were unique to First-Generation Lords, and currently, in the First Source Sea, there shouldn't be any First-Generation Lords from the Purgatory Race, the Sin Race, or their vassal races.

As for skills, to break through the tianji pavilion's concealment, they would at least need to be A-rank.

Skills that could detect and locate others' territory coordinates through Karma connections were already very rare, let alone needing to be A-rank.

In the current First Source Sea, such heroes and units did not exist within the Purgatory Race, the Sin Race, and their vassal races.

Therefore, as long as the tianji pavilion was built, Lin Xiao's safety would have a great guarantee.

However, Lin Xiao did not think so.

The Purgatory Race, the Sin Race, and their vassal races indeed had no First-Generation Lords in the First Source Sea, but that didn't mean they couldn't find First-Generation Lords from other races to take action.

There were more than just these races in the First Source Sea.

And then there were skills.

Currently, the Purgatory Race, the Sin Race, and their vassal races in the First Source Sea indeed possessed no heroes or units capable of breaking through the tianji pavilion's concealment.

However, once they discovered that they couldn't detect or locate Lin Xiao's territory coordinates no matter what, and guessed that he possessed a special building capable of concealing heavenly secrets within his territory, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find a way to summon a hero or unit with a deciphering skill.

It went back to what he said before: kill one for every one that comes; that was the safest approach.

If the person dies, the Karma dissipates.

No matter how Heaven-Defying a Talent or skill was, it couldn't detect or locate Lin Xiao's territory through a destroyed territory and Lord.

"By the way, I also need something that can reveal invisible units..."

Before Lin Xiao finished typing, the dialog box in front of him suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a System notification sounded.

[Your territory is being invaded.]

"It's here."

Lin Xiao did not panic; he didn't even open the territory map to check which direction the invaders had appeared from.

A type of incomparably profound and obscure, strange syllable was slowly uttered from his mouth.

Dragon Language Magic.

After recruiting Taylor and the other Burning Sky Flame Dragons, he had simultaneously mastered Dragon Language Magic.

Of course, Taylor and the others were only Third-Tier now, and their quality was only Epic, so the Dragon Language Magic they mastered was certainly not extensive, and its power was not great, but its range of application was very wide.

For example, right now, Lin Xiao was using Dragon Language Magic to communicate remotely with Taylor and the other Dragons.

Very quickly, he found the location where the invaders had appeared.

...

North side of the territory.

An army of hundreds appeared out of thin air.

As soon as they stepped into Lin Xiao's territory, they immediately scattered, with defensive units moving forward and offensive units moving back.

In the blink of an eye, they completed their combat preparations.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water; apart from the clanking of armor and weapons, there was no other sound.

At a glance, one could tell that this was a battle-hardened army that had seen many wars.

This was also normal; for a Lord to promote to Third-Tier, it was impossible for their forces to be weak.

However, none of the hundreds of units, including the hero leading them, noticed that high in the sky above them, a pair of cold eyes were taking in their every move.
