251: 30,000 times increase in comprehension!

Inside the grand hall of the Exchange Land.

Lin Chen was currently browsing the points exchange list.

The more he looked, the more excited he became.

The Black Pagoda's exchange list contained countless resources and treasures, many of which Lin Chen had never even heard of.

Many Heaven And Earth Treasure that were already extinct in the outside world could be exchanged directly with points here.

The most common among them was the Emperor Seal.

The Emperor Seals in the Black Pagoda were divided into three grades.

An Emperor Seal condensed from a low-grade Dao was worth 100 million points, an Emperor Seal condensed from a medium-grade Dao was worth 1 billion points, and an Emperor Seal condensed from a high-grade Dao was worth 10 billion points.

These were just Emperor Seals condensed from a single Dao; if multiple Daos were involved, the points required for exchange would increase exponentially.

Moreover, many of the Daos here were not found in the Endless Realm!

It was only at this moment that Lin Chen realized how precious his Emperor Seal, condensed from 27 ultimate Daos, truly was.

The Emperor Seals available for exchange in the Black Pagoda were at most those condensed from 9 Daos; an Emperor Seal of his grade simply didn't exist... Lin Chen estimated that the dozens of surviving trial-takers would likely all exchange for Emperor Seals.

After all, possessing an Emperor Seal meant directly skipping the nine Heavenly Dao tribulations, bringing one much closer to breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

These trial-takers were basically all at the Dao Realm Ninth Level, so having an Emperor Seal was equivalent to a meteoric rise!

Besides the Emperor Seal, what Lin Chen was most concerned about was high-energy substances, or treasures that could directly help him break through his current realm.

The Black Pagoda's exchange list was extremely rich, and Lin Chen searched for a long time before finally finding something suitable for him.

That was top-grade spirit stones.

A single top-grade spirit stone only required 100 points to exchange.

Lin Chen looked at the points ranking list.

1st Place: Lin Chen (Points: 53.254 billion)

2nd Place: Ye Shaoyang (Points: 13.93 billion)

3rd Place: Lin Sha (Points: 3.31 billion)

...32nd Place: Tian Jun (Points: 1.002 billion)

Lin Chen knew about top-grade spirit stones.

A single top-grade spirit stone contained 100,000 P Energy Points, which was 0.001 stone energy.

If all his current points were converted into top-grade spirit stones, he could obtain over 500 million of them.

If converted entirely into Energy Points through the system, it would be over 500,000 stone Energy Points!

This was more than ten times the Energy Points he gained from the previous ranking battle!

Hundreds of thousands of stone Energy Points would allow Lin Chen's strength to increase significantly once again!

Lin Chen was excited and continued to browse the exchange list.

Just now, in his search for top-grade spirit stones, he hadn't looked closely at many treasures.

Just then, an exclamation rang out in the hall.

"Look at the Origin Chamber, everyone!"

"This Origin Chamber can actually accelerate time!"

Immediately, all the recovered trial-takers began to study it with invigorated expressions.

"Up to a million times acceleration, 500 million points for 1 hour of use?"

"Oh my god, this Origin Chamber can also increase comprehension by ten thousand times, as well as provide illusionary tempering!"

"This Origin Chamber is the most precious thing in the Black Pagoda!"

"If I also exchange for some auxiliary rare treasures, I might very well break through to the Nine Tribulation Quasi-Emperor here, or even break through to the Emperor Realm!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the breathing of the trial-takers in the hall became rapid.

Being able to pass the first layer of trials, each of them was exceptionally talented, with innate comprehension defying the heavens.

Many of them had already reached the Quasi-Emperor level in their true spirit realm, and a breakthrough in cultivation was merely a matter of time.

The commotion in the hall also piqued Lin Chen's interest.

He quickly found the Origin Chamber exchange option.

Lin Chen studied it carefully and, sure enough, as the other trial-takers said, this Origin Chamber could indeed accelerate time.

A million times time acceleration for 1 hour, that would be about 114 years.

Most importantly, it could increase comprehension by ten thousand times, as well as provide illusionary tempering!

This was too terrifying!

One must know that Lin Chen's current true spirit realm was at the Five-Step Emperor Realm level, and at this true spirit realm, his comprehension was already very strong.

To further increase it by ten thousand times on this foundation, how astonishing would he become.

After he used the system to enhance his Dao comprehension, the reason he always spent a long time absorbing and digesting countless Dao profundities was due to the limitation of his comprehension.

At the Emperor Realm, it was extremely difficult to improve comprehension; even rare treasures that could increase it by a hundredfold were incredibly scarce, let alone ten thousandfold... If he exchanged for some more Heaven And Earth Treasure that improved comprehension, then his martial arts realm could soar in a short amount of time!

Emperor Realm cultivation primarily involved continuously comprehending and perfecting the Daos one had created... And there was also the illusionary tempering, which Lin Chen estimated was to temper the true spirit through different levels of illusions, allowing the true spirit to also break through.

Moreover, it was noted that the illusions could target beings at the Emperor Realm level at their highest!

One must know that the further one advanced in the true spirit realm, the stronger one's will became.

Ordinary illusions could not possibly affect beings at the Quasi-Emperor level.

In martial arts cultivation, the most difficult part was the true spirit's transformation.

The true spirit's transformation required countless hardships before it could possibly transform.

Such illusions that could help the Emperor Realm did not exist in the Endless Realm... Lin Chen's current points could be converted into over 500,000 stone energy, which meant he could reach the Four-Step Emperor Realm level in a short amount of time!

However, Lin Chen did not intend to raise his martial arts realm that high; he also wanted to save some Energy Points to break through his physical body and true spirit realms.

After all, the physical body and true spirit realms consumed fewer Energy Points.

He wanted to maximize his combat power before the second layer of trials began!

Raising his martial arts realm to the Two-Step or Three-Step Emperor Realm would suffice; by then, his development of the time wheel would also be higher, and after 10 days, he would rely on the time acceleration of the time wheel to break through his true spirit and Golden Body realms.

Increased comprehension could not accelerate the breakthrough speed of the physical body and true spirit, it could only accelerate the speed of comprehension... After understanding all this, Lin Chen began to browse the rare treasures that could improve comprehension.

After a period of browsing, Lin Chen's eyes were opened.

Among them, the most precious were the rare treasures that permanently enhanced comprehension.

For example, a pill called the enlightenment spirit pill, which was refined from the fruits of the Enlightenment Ancient Tree, the Bodhi Tree.

After consumption, it could permanently increase comprehension by 1 million times!

The Bodhi Ancient Tree was a sacred tree, only powerhouses at the Eternal Saint Lord level were capable of possessing it.

The appearance of every Saint-tier rare treasure would cause Eternal Realm mighty figures to contend for it!

This enlightenment spirit pill could only be taken once in a lifetime, and the higher the realm, the better the effect of consumption.

Because the million-fold comprehension increase of the enlightenment spirit pill was an increase based on one's original comprehension.

If an Eternal Realm mighty figure consumed it, one could imagine how terrifying a million-fold increase in comprehension at that level would be... A single enlightenment spirit pill required 10 trillion points to exchange!

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly; his points were far from enough.

Next were the treasures that temporarily increased comprehension.

There were consumable spirit fruits and pills, as well as treasures like the time wheel, which could only be used for a short period and had a long cooldown after each use.

Finally, Lin Chen chose a pill called the enlightenment spirit pill.

It required 100 million points to exchange, could increase comprehension by ten thousand times, and the effect lasted for one year. Lin Chen exchanged for 10 pills in one go.

Then there was a ninth-grade Emperor Artifact-level auxiliary treasure — the thousand-core ancient lamp.

It was worth 5 billion points!

This thousand-core ancient lamp could be reused; after lighting its wick, cultivating beside it could increase comprehension by ten thousand times.

Each use lasted for 10 years!

However, after one use, the thousand-core ancient lamp would autonomously recover for 10 years before it could be used again.

These two types of rare treasures that increased comprehension could be stacked and were currently the most cost-effective ones Lin Chen had seen.

Lin Chen calculated in his mind.

He then spent 6 billion points to exchange for the two rare treasures.

He spent another 500 million points to exchange for 1 hour of the Origin Chamber.

He exchanged all his remaining points for top-grade spirit stones!

That was 468 million top-grade spirit stones!

Finally, after Lin Chen devoured and absorbed them through the system, they transformed into 468,000 stone Energy Points.

"A thirty thousand times comprehension increase can last for 10 years."

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something.

His time wheel seemed to be able to refresh its cooldown in the Origin Chamber!

His eyes gradually lit up.

Just as Lin Chen finished exchanging for the Origin Chamber, the ethereal voice rang in his ears.

[Trial-taker, the Origin Chamber you exchanged for has been opened for you, teleportation will begin in 3 seconds.]

Buzz—

Lin Chen's figure directly vanished from his original spot.

In the distance, Ye Shaoyang watched Lin Chen's disappearing figure, he let out a cold smile, then also vanished.
