241: Chapter 241 Minister of Justice Banjo

Other people's Dharma Forms would inevitably be influenced to some extent by the Will they comprehended themselves. For instance, because of the Will of Allure Lu Xue comprehended, her Dharma Form wore relatively revealing attire; and like a previous Zhou Family Old Ancestor who comprehended the Will of Wind, his Dharma Form was surrounded by floating clouds and gale winds.

As for Lin Qing's Dharma Form, judging from its appearance, aside from having a slightly translucent feel, it looked identical to his current appearance. Of course, this appearance was neither Xie Chen nor Lin Qing; Lin Qing had still kept his guard up when he chose to Breakthrough.

As for why his Dharma Form had no special visual effects blessings, it was because other people's Breakthrough processes needed to be actively carried out, and when breaking through to the Tenth Rank, they needed to integrate the power of Will, which created the different forms of Dharma Forms.

As for Lin Qing, because of the existence of the System, he only needed to release the suppression on his Cultivation Technique and let them run automatically to achieve a Breakthrough. There was no participation of Will during the Breakthrough process, resulting in his Dharma Form being in its most primitive form.

Lin Qing tried to integrate various powers of Will into it, and sure enough, the Dharma Form changed. At times gales raged, and at times lightning flashed and thunder roared, but the size of the Dharma Form did not change due to the injection of Will.

When others just broke through to the Tenth Rank, their Dharma Forms were generally only a hundred feet in size. Zhou Rulong, whom he killed in the Cangyun Mountains previously, was just like this.

Afterwards, as the Realm improved, the Dharma Form would also grow accordingly. When the Realm reached the Late Stage of the Tenth Rank, which was the Realm of people like Lu Xue and Yun Feng, the Dharma Form would grow to about a thousand feet. Meanwhile, the Dharma Form sizes of Peak Tenth Rank figures like Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao and Jin Wan were generally around two thousand feet.

Although Level 11 Cultivators no longer focused their primary cultivation on Dharma Forms, the size of their Dharma Forms would likewise passively increase as their Realms improved. The Dharma Form size of early Level 11 figures like Juechenzi and others was approximately three thousand feet.

Yet, a ten-thousand-foot Dharma Form like Lin Qing's was generally something only powerhouses at the Peak of Level 11 could possess.

As for Divine Venerables, they were no longer Dharma Forms; they integrated their Physical Body into the Dharma Form, turning the Dharma Form into a True Manifestation, which had distinct differences in appearance.

In other words, the moment Lin Qing broke through to the Tenth Rank, his Dharma Form had already reached the limit size of ordinary people.

For Cultivators who possessed Dharma Forms, the size of the Dharma Form could generally reflect a Cultivator's baseline combat strength.

Cultivators with smaller Dharma Forms found it difficult to defeat Cultivators with larger Dharma Forms. Only when the sizes of the Dharma Forms were similar did it come down to testing a Cultivator's combat skills and methods.

And Lin Qing's skills and methods were evidently also the most top-tier existence; he was now almost the strongest person beneath the Divine Venerables.

Lin Qing could not help nodding with satisfaction. Although two years ago he was already not afraid of ordinary Level 11s, and had even personally defeated the Divine Thought Clone of Lu Xue's mother, which was comparable to Level 11.

But he had never known to what extent his combat strength specifically reached. Now he finally had a metric to measure it by.

After breaking through to the Tenth Rank, Lin Qing did not leave the Cangyun Mountains immediately. However, just to be safe, he still put away the Formation and changed to a new place.

Finding a seemingly secluded cave and setting up some Formations, Lin Qing took out the Tenth Rank Cultivation Technique to Cultivate. His Tenth Rank Cultivation Techniques had long been collected; unfortunately, the last time he met Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao, he forgot to ask for the Tenth Rank Cultivation Technique of the Cloud Origin Immortal Sect, so his plan to sleep had gone bankrupt again.

There were quite a few Cultivators training and experiencing trials in the Cangyun Mountains all year round. Lin Qing's Dharma Form was too large, naturally attracting the attention of many people. However, they did not dare to rashly step forward to investigate a Dharma Form of this level, and could only secretly transmit the news back to their Sect.

Under the circumstance where Divine Venerables did not manifest in the world, a ten-thousand-foot-sized Dharma Form, even among super factions, could only be possessed by a tiny handful of Old Ancestor-level figures.

When it was certain they did not recognize whose Dharma Form this was, in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, this matter ultimately ended up unsettled. Only Tao Tao, who had returned to Wanyan Spirit Pavilion, had some guesses in her heart.

Although Lin Qing's talent had long shaken the world, reaching this level in a mere two years still caused Tao Tao to feel a sense of powerlessness.

A month later, Lin Qing left the Cangyun Mountains and came to a relatively bustling city. At this time, he did not deliberately conceal his cultivation base. His current combat strength far exceeded his Realm, and on this continent, apart from a few Divine Venerables, no one else could pose a threat to him. Concealing his cultivation base no longer held much significance.

Moreover, his Realm had just broken through. Apart from Tao Tao, almost no one knew that Lin Qing had already broken through to the Tenth Rank, which was instead a better disguise.

Lin Qing came to the Qianbao Pavilion in the city. After sensing Lin Qing's Tenth Rank aura, the shopkeeper immediately came out and led Lin Qing into the VIP room.

The Qianbao Pavilion was precisely an enterprise under Qianbao Mysterious Palace. As seen from the previous auction, Qianbao Mysterious Palace had quite the accomplishments in business. Now that Lin Qing needed rare treasures, he naturally chose to come here to inquire.

"I am Wangshan. May I know what Your Excellency requires?"

The shopkeeper, who looked rather refined on the outside, cupped his hands towards Lin Qing and then asked.

"I indeed wish to purchase some items."

Afterwards, Lin Qing reported the names of some Materials. For every one he reported, the shopkeeper's brows furrowed a fraction more. After Lin Qing finished reporting, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest with you, the things the guest wants are all top-tier rare treasures. We only have some news regarding this Cloud-Patterned Elk Fat; as for the rest, you will probably have to go to the Southern Region to search for them yourself."

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised. Originally, he held no hope; after all, Qianbao Mysterious Palace had just held a grand auction two years ago, and all the rare treasures they could sell were auctioned off at that time. It was precisely by relying on that auction that Lin Qing had collected more than half of the Materials.

Unexpectedly, a mere two years later, Qianbao Mysterious Palace actually had new clues. Lin Qing directly took out a Storage Ring containing one hundred million Spirit Stones and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Please enlighten me, Shopkeeper."

Information naturally had its value, and the prices of rare treasures easily reached tens or hundreds of billions. A consultation fee of one hundred million Spirit Stones was not expensive.

The shopkeeper accepted the Storage Ring, swept it with Divine Thought, and said with a smiling chuckle as he cupped his hands:

"Some time ago, a powerhouse from the Lingxiao Sword Sect hunted a Cloud-Patterned Elk in the Southern Region. He only took the elk's horns, and the other parts will be auctioned off in Qing'ai City in a few days."

"Many thanks for letting me know. Since that is the case, I shall take my leave."

Having obtained the information, Lin Qing naturally had no need to stay long. After rising to take his leave, he walked out of the Qianbao Pavilion and came to the city's teleportation plaza.

Between the Southern Region and the Central Continent lay a giant mountain range. This mountain range extended for tens of billions of miles and was called the Hengduan Mountains, while Qing'ai City was a giant city on the side of the Hengduan Mountains close to the Central Continent.
