Winter had arrived at Skyridge. After a snowstorm, the temperature dropped to -40 degrees Celsius.
The doors of the Fire Palace creaked open and Lin Zhen walked out.
As the doors opened, a heat wave accompanied by faint starlight gushed out, causing the surrounding cold air to recede. The cold and hot air collided, forming a visible layer of air.
After stretching his limbs, Lin Zhen's face was filled with joy.
He didn't expect that just as he was about to return to the Holy Land, he would be able to digest the medicinal efficacy and finally obtain the opportunity to devour it again, allowing him to advance to the ninth level World King realm.
His astral power increased by another two million, and his body's astral power reached fifty-two million.
This was no longer the figure of a World King. Even the Immortal Realm didn't have such a figure. This was equivalent to a good Three Flower Boundary.
Looking around, the volcano hadn't erupted recently and the temperature had dropped. The Fire Kirins felt uncomfortable and stayed at home, unwilling to go out.
Lightning, Lightning, and the other four spirits were arranged by Lin Zhen to guard the perimeter of the volcano, becoming the secret protectors of the Kirin Clan.
After leaving, Lin Chuang was already waiting outside.
"Patriarch, recently, our clan's population has increased by nearly one level. This is an unprecedented situation. I have already heard the news. The new Fire Qilins all came because of your reputation."
Lin Chuang's face was filled with excitement. The Fire Kirin's population was small. It was thanks to Lin Zhen that they were able to gradually grow.
Lin Zhen nodded. The Fire Kirin was indeed thriving. This was something he was happy to see.
"Remember what I said? Gather the elites of the clan and cultivate. Don't slack off. The next time the Holy Land opens, more people from our clan can enter. Without the support of the Holy Land's martial artists, a clan can't develop."
"I understand, Patriarch. But to enter the Holy Land, don't we need a clan's recommendation? In the past, we only had one spot. "
Lin Zhen smiled. "As you said, that was in the past. Students of the Heavenly Class of the Holy Land also have the qualifications to be recommended. There are eight new students, and the one ranked eighth will have one recommendation. The one ranked first will have eight recommendations. When the time comes, I will recommend suitable people to enter."
Lin Chuang's eyes lit up when he heard that. He was also at the peak of the Longevity Realm. His strength was not bad. Entering the Holy Land was the yearning of every warrior. Of course, he wanted to enter as well.
Lin Zhen patted him on the shoulder. "Cultivate well. If you can enter the Three Flowers before the next Holy Land assessment, I will recommend you to participate."
Lin Chuang immediately nodded. It had never crossed his mind that Lin Zhen would not enter the heavenly class.
From his point of view, the clan leader was omnipotent. Entering the Heaven Class was just a matter of reaching out his hand.
"Alright, there's nothing much going on in the clan recently. I'm going back to the Holy Land."
It had already been ten months since Lin Zhen returned to the clan. It was time to return to the Holy Land.
In these ten months, Lin Zhen had advanced to the eighth level of the World King. His spiritual power had reached the diamond level. Moreover, he had comprehended the fifth diagram of the Shadowless Step. This progress could be said to be unprecedented.
He had also managed the Kirin Clan completely. The Alchemist Guild and the Kirin Clan had signed an agreement to purchase medicine, guaranteeing the supply of pills for the Kirin Clan's disciples.
The Fire Kirin Clan had a lot of money. However, their relationship with the Alchemist Guild was not good. Therefore, they could not purchase the truly good medicines.
But with Lin Zhen, there was no problem. Lin Zhen was the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild and had a very good relationship with the president. Not only could he guarantee the supply of medicines, but he could also get preferential treatment.
With the pills, it was believed that in time, the Fire Kirin would produce many talents.
In addition, the safety of the Fire Kirin Clan was no longer a problem. Lin Zhen had left Lightning and the other four spirit galactic beasts in the Fire Kirin Clan. If anything happened, they could immediately contact Lin Zhen.
"Patriarch, don't worry. There are no problems in the clan for the time being."
Lin Zhen nodded. He did not inform the others in the Fire Kirin. With a thought, Jiu Ling came out from his inner world.
After coming out, Jiu Ling rolled on the spot and a nine-headed lion that looked like a giant beast appeared.
On the surface, Jiu Ling looked like a huge lion. However, under its long mane, eight small heads were hidden. When needed, they would reveal a ferocious look.
When choosing a mount, Lin Zhen hesitated for a while between Jiu Ling and Lightning. In the end, he chose Jiu Ling.
Jiu Ling's speed was slightly slower than the SARFT, but it was much stronger. Moreover, Lightning was one of the four spirits. If it was separated from Red Witch and the others, it would not be good.
Besides, Jiu Ling's speed was also very fast. At the limit of sub-light speed, it was at least twice as fast as the two-headed demon dragon.
Lin Zhen leaped lightly and sat on Jiu Ling's back.
Jiu Ling's mane fluttered, forming a protective layer. Jiu Ling said to Lin Zhen, "Master, when Jiu Ling can advance, I will also be able to reach the speed of light. When that time comes, if Master is willing to roam the Primordial Realm, Jiu Ling can bring Master along."
"Hehe! Alright, then I'll be waiting to hitch a ride with you. "
After receiving Lin Zhen's encouragement, Jiu Ling immediately became excited. It spread its claws and stepped into the clouds, heading straight for the Meteor Lake.
Lin Chuang waved his hand on the ground. Lightning and the other four spirits released their star power in four directions of the volcano, bidding farewell to their master.
*****
In the Sacred Land, a group of warriors gathered in front of the Trayastrimsa Heaven Pagoda.
After nearly a year of cultivation, a large number of people who could successfully pass the pagoda had emerged in the Sacred Land.
Among the new students, the person with the highest ranking was the Heaven Class disciple, Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu was currently in first place among all the new students who had passed the fifth level of the pagoda.
However, Dongfang Yu didn't look very happy, because a large list had been pulled out in front of the Sacred Land.
This was the new student list. Not only did it have the Meteor Lake Sacred Land, but it also had the Twin Tree Garden, Freedom City, and Soul Locking Platform.
This was the rule. After all the new students entered the Sacred Land, there would be a large list in the annual assessment. All the new students of the four Sacred Lands would be gathered together to see who the most outstanding person belonged to.
One had to know that this was for all the Sacred Lands of the Primordial Realm. It was a great honor to be able to make it onto the list.
The top ten of the list all had huge rewards.
The rewards were extremely special things called God's Stones.
Many people in the Primordial Realm didn't know about God's Stones. It wasn't even considered a currency and couldn't be circulated.
However, the higher the level of the martial artist, the more they knew about God's Stones.
The origin of God's Stones was the evolution of Universe Crystals. When a martial artist surpassed the Three Flower Realm, they would enter the Divine Transformation Realm.
After passing the Divine Transformation Realm, one would become a true god. This was the transformation from a martial artist to a god.
The Divine Transformation was the change of Spiritual Power, called Spiritual Transformation.
The change of the world in the body was called Divine Transformation.
The change of the world stone was called God's Stone Transformation.
After completing the third level of Divine Transformation, a martial artist would transform into a true god. They would stand high above the masses, overlooking all living beings.
And, the only place where God's Stones were produced was a God's Stone Transformation realm martial artist. After failing to become a god, the God's Stone would shatter and the martial artist would forever lose the chance to become a god. The weaker ones would directly perish, and the stronger ones might have the chance to retain their bodies and become a Demigod.
Every God's Stone was a massive source of energy. A single God's Stone weighed a kilogram. Not only could God's Stones continuously replenish the strength of a Divine Transformation realm martial artist, but they could also erupt with divine strength. A single God's Stone could allow a martial artist to have a combat strength that doubled!
Of course, very few people were willing to use God's Stones like this. This sort of thing was far too rare. It would only appear at the late Divine Transformation realm, thus it was extremely precious.
God's Stones weren't currency, but they had a greater purchasing power than currency.
The exchange rate between God's Stones and the Primordial Realm's currency was 100 million!
A single God's Stone was 100 billion Primordial Realm currency!
Moreover, this sort of thing was nearly priceless. In truth, the transaction price would definitely be higher than this.
This time, the Four Holy Lands were able to take out God's Stones as a reward. This caused all the martial artists to be excited.
The first place of the overall ranking would receive two God's Stones. As for the remaining second to tenth place, they would all receive a single God's Stone.
This sort of competition was only held during the first year of new students. Every Holy Land attached great importance to it.
Today was the day of the Holy Land's examination. Starfall Lake's 33 Heavens Pagoda was surging with people; the examination was about to begin.
Fifth Young Master Jin Nuo frowned as he looked at the endless stream of students rushing towards the pagoda.
Dongfang Yu was the first to enter the stage, but his performance wasn't good. Although he had passed the fifth level, he was quickly defeated by the sixth level's Heaven Master.
According to past experience, those that could pass the sixth level could easily enter the top 10. Those that could pass the fifth level also had a chance of entering the top 10. But, they needed to have a high completion rate.
The virtual characters in the 33 Heavens Pagoda had HP. Only by eliminating all of the virtual characters' HP would one be considered to have passed. Dongfang Yu had only consumed 20% of the Heaven Master's HP; there was no hope for him.
In the top 10 rankings, if any of the Four Holy Lands could obtain three spots, then it would be considered a success.
If they obtained two spots, then it would be considered a failure.
However, Dongfang Yu, whom Jin Nuo had placed high hopes on, didn't perform well. This time, he might not even be able to obtain two spots.
If he only obtained one spot, then it would be a disgrace.
The results of the pagoda came out one after another. Another seeded contestant of the Heaven Class, Sun Yidao, had also reached the sixth level with a completion rate of 33%!
He had only completed one-third of the pagoda. If it was in the previous years, he might have had a chance to obtain tenth place. But this year … Jin Nuo shook his head slightly.
At this time, news from the other Holy Lands came one after another.
Free City's Yang Ye had reached the sixth level with a completion rate of 51%, ranking first!
Twin Trees Garden's Zhang Jing had reached the sixth level with a completion rate of 49%, ranking second!
Soul Locking Platform's Wu Qing had reached the sixth level with a completion rate of 45%, ranking third!
