329: All improved!
During this Great Dao opportunity, Lin Chen obtained a total of 124 eternal treasure artifacts.
Among these eternal treasure artifacts, there were 86 pieces of Grade 1 to Grade 3, valued at 100 to 300 trillion points depending on their grade.
There were 32 pieces of Grade 4 to Grade 6, valued at 500 to 900 trillion points.
And there were 6 pieces of Grade 7!
These 6 high-grade eternal treasure artifacts were all given to him by Ji Changkong, and he hadn't looked at them closely at the time.
Lin Chen understood that the Ji Family was not doing very well, and these high-grade eternal treasure artifacts were very likely meant for Ji Changkong to exchange for points.
The Ji Family had invested a lot of chips in Ji Changkong... The Ji Family Ancestor had once participated in the Black Tower Trial, so he naturally knew that eternal treasure artifacts could be exchanged for a large number of points.
Lin Chen shook his head and smiled; this Ji Changkong was quite an interesting person.
The only downside was that he was a bit too kind in his dealings with others.
Such a personality would likely lead to him suffering great losses in the future... Lin Chen had actually taken advantage of Ji Changkong this time; a Grade 7 eternal treasure artifact was worth at least 1,500 trillion points!
If Ji Changkong had these points, his strength would surely have surged significantly after three days of secluded cultivation in the Origin Chamber.
Perhaps he would even break through to the Half-step Eternal Realm... “It seems Brother Changkong values my talent; he is helping me!”
“Very well, once my strength increases, I will make a trip to the Tiangang Star Field and help the Ji Family overcome their crisis!”
After retracting his thoughts, Lin Chen exchanged all 124 eternal treasure artifacts for points.
In the end, he obtained 63,500 trillion points!
These points could be exchanged for 63.5 billion gui pearls!
Lin Chen also reserved some points to exchange for the Origin Chamber, and the rest were all exchanged for gui pearls.
Finally, it took Lin Chen a full week to convert the massive number of gui pearls into Energy Points.
He looked at the Energy Points on the system panel with excitement.
Energy Points: 381 trillion stones.
The Energy Points obtained this time were much more than he had anticipated!
“From the deeds of the Ji Family Ancestor, it can be inferred that most of the Heavenly Talents on the supreme ranking list are likely individuals who have pioneered a Supreme Great Dao.”
“My Supreme Great Dao level is too low...”
Lin Chen looked at the system panel and fell into contemplation.
Name: Lin Chen
Realm: Great Emperor Eighth Level + (Promoted after comprehending 90% of a Creation Level Great Dao.)
true spirit: Great Emperor Ninth Level + (Consumes 625 trillion stones to advance)
Golden Body: Yuan Grade Tenth Forging + (Consumes 37.5 trillion stones to advance)
Physical Strength: 600,000 Yuan of strength
Great Dao: Grandmist Great Dao 10% (Origin)
Taiyi Great Dao 81% (World-Creation)
...Energy Points: 381 trillion stones
System Upgrade: Consumes 100 trillion stones.
In the late Great Emperor Realm, for every Realm increase of the true spirit and Golden Body, the Energy Points consumed will increase by 5 times!
He currently wanted his true spirit to transform to the Half-step Eternal Realm, but his Energy Points were simply not enough!
The Golden Body could only be upgraded one more Realm, reaching Yuan Grade Eleventh Forging.
To upgrade to Yuan Grade Twelfth Forging Golden Body would require over 900 trillion stones of Energy Points!
From the consumption of these Energy Points, one could see how vast the gap was between the Half-step Eternal Realm and the Great Emperor Realm!
One must know that Lin Chen used over a hundred eternal treasure artifacts to exchange for 381 trillion Energy Points... In reality, the true value of eternal treasure artifacts was far higher than the price estimated by the Black Tower.
Outside, eternal treasure artifacts could be exchanged for more resources.
In the Black Tower, the points they could be exchanged for were too few.
Lin Chen estimated that it was at least a tenfold reduction... Perhaps because, to the 'Abyss', eternal treasure artifacts were comparable to ordinary artifacts.
Being able to exchange for some points was already quite good.
However, for the beings of countless dimensional worlds, the value of eternal treasure artifacts was extremely high.
Possessing an eternal treasure artifact could greatly enhance one's combat power.
Only in this world where strength is respected could one have the ability to protect oneself... There was nothing to be done; all trial-takers had no choice but to exchange, because many rare treasures were only available in the Black Tower.
Like gui pearls, where else could one find so many outside... Lin Chen could only silently accept this.
He now had two paths to improve his strength.
One was to invest the Energy Points into the Golden Body Realm, raising it to Yuan Grade Eleventh Forging, and then upgrading the system once.
After the system upgrade, it would be able to deduce Creation Level body techniques!
At that time, with the amplification of his Purple-Gold Bloodline power, the two combined would likely elevate his strength to the Half-step Eternal Middle Stage, or even higher!
Another path was to use all the Energy Points to enhance the Grandmist Great Dao!
As a Supreme Level Great Dao, the power of the Grandmist Great Dao would surely far surpass that of an Ultimate Level Great Dao!
Once he also elevated the Grandmist Great Dao to the Creation Level, and then through battle techniques and a series of amplifications, his combat power would definitely be terrifying!
“Both paths to improving strength require a massive amount of Energy Points!”
Lin Chen's mind raced.
He had to fully utilize these Energy Points to enhance his combat power!
The supreme ranking list, he absolutely had to challenge it successfully!
Lin Chen had a premonition that the true opportunity of this Black Tower would likely bring about a huge improvement in his strength!
If he missed this opportunity, although it wouldn't lead to his complete decline, he might have to strive for a very long time to make up for it... After all, he had a system, so there were no bottlenecks.
Ancestor Realm?
As long as he was given time, he would definitely be able to break through!
But if he missed this opportunity, he would break through to the Ancestor Realm many, many years later.
This could be seen from the Energy Points required for the system to break through to the Half-step Eternal Realm now... If he were to use the system to improve his Realm, the resources consumed would far exceed those of ordinary beings!
Lin Chen spent a full day deducing in this manner.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
“Why can't I have both paths of improvement?”
“No, there’s a third path!”
“My true spirit must also transform!”
As if he had figured something out, Lin Chen took out a gray sphere.
It was the Martial Dao Space he had obtained from Chen Zishan!
“First, let’s see if this Martial Dao Space and my time wheel can stack their effects.”
Lin Chen's eyes held a hint of anticipation, then with a thought, his body entered the Martial Dao Space.
At this moment, the time flow in the Martial Dao Space was still normal.
“Now I am in the Origin Chamber, which has a 1 million times time acceleration effect. This time acceleration naturally also applies within the Martial Dao Space.”
“Let’s try to see how much this Martial Dao Space can increase the time acceleration.”
Lin Chen began to mentally control the intelligent system of the Martial Dao Space.
After some operations, the time flow in the Martial Dao Space began to accelerate.
1x... 2x... Finally, it stopped at 5x. When Lin Chen wanted to increase the multiplier further, he found that the Martial Dao Space showed no reaction at all.
This was the same effect as when the time wheel was in the Origin Chamber before... “This calculates to 5 million times time acceleration. Is this already the limit?”
Lin Chen slowly took out the time wheel.
“Let’s see if the time wheel can still be activated.”
The next moment, the time wheel emitted endless golden light, floating above Lin Chen’s head.
A time field instantly enveloped Lin Chen.
“It works!”
Lin Chen’s expression became excited, and he immediately felt it.
He found that the time wheel’s time acceleration was also 5 times!
If combined with the time acceleration of the Origin Chamber and the Martial Dao Space, that would be 25 million times!
If he stayed in the Origin Chamber for three days, he would experience 205,479 years!
“Both treasures can only provide 5 times time acceleration. It seems this should be a limit.”
“With over 200,000 years, I can completely use my clones to enhance the Grandmist Great Dao!”
Lin Chen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. This time, he once again exploited a BUG with the Martial Dao Space.
The Martial Dao Space also had illusionary training, and he could also improve his true spirit Realm!
This meant that his Energy Points only needed to be used to improve his Golden Body Realm and upgrade the system.
Lin Chen was not afraid of encountering bottlenecks, because his current true comprehension was at least comparable to that of an Eternal Realm Mid Stage cultivator.
Moreover, 71 clones were comprehending simultaneously.
The clones also shared thoughts and could verify each other!
After understanding all of this, Lin Chen began his secluded cultivation.
He glanced at the system panel, then directly consumed 37.5 trillion stones of Energy Points.
The moment the Energy Points were consumed, a huge hot current appeared out of thin air within his body. This hot current spread to every cell in his body, and his physical body slowly began to transform...
Meanwhile, his clones also sat cross-legged, one by one, beginning to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Grandmist Great Dao!
Although Lin Chen was currently in the Martial Dao Space, he could still perceive the rich Great Dao aura in the Origin Chamber.
All 243 Great Daos he comprehended were present in the Origin Chamber.
However, the Great Dao aura was far less concentrated than in the Great Dao Space before... Next, Lin Chen consumed another 100 trillion stones of Energy Points to initiate the system upgrade!
