The platform's appearance was very strange. Lei Xingfeng felt that it looked like a theater from his previous world. There were nine pillars on the platform. He didn't know what kind of metal these pillars were made of, but they were covered in strange patterns. The platform itself was rectangular with a slight depression in the middle. At the bottom were a few silver circles, and Feng Chenzong was sitting in one of the circles.
The platform was about two meters tall, and the pillars were ten meters tall. Whether it was the platform or the pillars, there were countless grooves with Yin Rings embedded in them.
Lei Xingfeng estimated that at least ten thousand Yin Rings wouldn't be enough. Just this amount of Yin Rings wasn't something a normal Ninth Ring Sage could afford. Feng Chenzong had saved up for most of his life. Of course, his master and ancestor had sponsored some, or it wouldn't have been enough.
Actually, XinFeng didn't know that inside the stamp platform, there were many places that needed to be inlaid with Yin Rings. In other words, the number of Yin Rings needed to be inlaid wasn't the ten thousand he guessed, but more than twenty thousand. This was the true driving force of the stamp platform.
Wuyang sat about ten meters away from the Great Stamp Platform, he even called XinFeng over to explain the Great Stamp Platform to him, as well as some knowledge about becoming a Monarch.
"… The platform is the best way to advance to Monarch. It starts from the outside and goes from the inside. With the help of the platform, the possibility of advancing can be increased by ten to twenty percent …"
"Back then, this Great Seal Platform was built using countless materials and my blood, sweat, and tears. Your master successfully advanced on it."
Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, "Did master use a sky crystal when he advanced?"
Wu Yang smiled. "How could there be a sky crystal? Advancing to Monarch requires three parts strength, three parts preparation, three parts potential, and one part luck. Your master's potential is very good, and his luck isn't bad either. Plus, this platform is outstanding. Hehe, that's why he advanced."
Lei Xingfeng said, "The chances of Eldest Senior Brother advancing this time should be very high. The Sky Crystal can increase the chances of advancement by 40%!"
Wu Yang shook his head slightly and said, "That's not how it is calculated. Little fellow, while Sky Crystals can increase the chances of advancement, there are actually some medicines that can achieve a similar effect. The main problem with advancement is not external, but internal. If you don't have enough potential, even if you obtain Sky Crystals, there will still be problems in the end."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Don't we still have Saint Crystals? Saint crystals can increase the success rate by sixty percent. As long as you're a peak Ninth Ring Sage, you'll be able to advance. Anyone would take a gamble on a success rate of more than fifty percent. "
Wu Yang said, "Little guy, your thinking is too simple. If that's the case, then this world would be filled with True Monarchs."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Can't it be?"
Wu Yang said, "Firstly, Saint Crystals are just a legend. No one has obtained it yet. It's probably just a record passed down from ancient times. Secondly, even if you have Saint Crystals, even if you have a sixty percent success rate, those who used Lun rings, Lun Yin rings, and Yin rings to advance to Ninth Ring have no way of advancing to Monarch. No matter how many resources you have, no matter how many Saint Crystals you have, it's useless.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he got the Saint Crystals, he wanted to give Mad Eagle, Tiger Love, Jin Daya, and the others a chance to advance to Monarch. He didn't expect the founder to directly deny it. He said, "Is it because the foundation isn't stable?"
Wu Yang said, "When they use Lun rings, Lun Yin rings, and Yin rings to advance, they've completely lost the possibility of advancing to Monarch. Look … your senior brothers and sisters aren't allowed to use Yin rings when they cultivate. Once they use them, advancing to Ninth Ring is like playing around. But if they do that, they'll lose the possibility of advancing to Monarch. Your master will definitely go crazy."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Eldest Senior Brother is making a move!"
Wu Yang said, "No rush. He's still adjusting. In a while, I'll make a move. You see what it means to move from the outside to the inside."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and didn't say anything. He stared at the stamp platform.
Feng Chenzong's entire body was emitting a faint golden light. He was a cultivator of the metal element, completely different from Lei Xingfeng. His entire body was shining with a golden light. This was a sign that he was using his power to the extreme.
Wu Yang said, "He'll need to adjust for at least ten minutes. This kid's not bad. His potential is decent. If he didn't find the Sky Crystal, advancing to Monarch would be a bit difficult. But now … if there are no accidents, his chances of advancing are quite high."
The surroundings were silent. Everyone was staring at the stamp platform. This kind of observation was very important to the disciples of the secret sects. They could get a lot of inspiration from it. Seeing a Ninth Ring True Body advance to True Monarch was very beneficial to their own advancement.
Gucci came to Wu Yang's side. He said, "Master, it's about time, right?"
Wu Yang said, "Wait a little longer. It'll only take a few more minutes."
Gucci nodded and didn't say anything else. Lei Xingfeng suddenly realized that his master seemed very nervous.
The stamp platform didn't change much. Feng Chenzong had already closed his eyes. His body was undergoing earth-shattering changes. Gradually, he began to tremble. He couldn't advance just by relying on his own power.
Wu Yang stood up. "It's done!"
Wu Yang's body flickered. He landed beside the stamp platform and slapped it.
Boom!
The stamp platform emitted a dazzling light, especially the nine pillars. The stamp rings began to flash. In an instant, countless rays of light shot toward Feng Chenzong.
A huge amount of energy rolled around the stamp platform and gradually gathered on Feng Chenzong's body.
Lei Xingfeng could clearly feel this unparalleled energy from ten meters away. He heard Feng Chenzong shout and his golden stamp flew out. The huge amount of energy seemed to have found an outlet and began to crazily pour into the golden stamp.
In fact, the golden stamp was just a medium, a transfer station. As the energy poured into the golden stamp, it quickly expanded.
Lei Xingfeng used Lei Yin's cultivation experience. He was surprised to find that this method of converting external energy into his own energy was very similar to his own cultivation in a thunderstorm. He used Lei Yin to quickly transfer the energy from the natural lightning into his own body. Then, his cultivation skyrocketed.
Feng Chenzong seemed to be very uncomfortable with this kind of energy infusion. His body kept trembling. Lei Xingfeng was very worried.
Wu Yang retreated at this time. He saw Lei Xingfeng's anxious eyes and said, "Don't worry. The little guy needs some time to adapt. Such a huge amount of energy conversion can't be too fast. It'll be fine. So far, everything is fine."
"Ow … Ahhhh …"
Feng Chenzong suddenly let out a series of roars, trying to reduce the pain caused by the huge amount of energy infusion.
The golden stamp floated above the stamp platform. As the huge amount of energy poured in, the entire golden stamp expanded. Gradually, the golden stamp covered the entire platform. Feng Chenzong couldn't even control the golden stamp, let alone retrieve it. The golden stamp suddenly fell.
Boom!
As the golden seal fell, the nine pillars immediately blocked the falling golden seal. An even greater amount of energy shot directly from the pillars into the golden seal.
Lei Xingfeng whispered, "So this is how the nine pillars are used!" It was unexpected that they were used to stop the stamp.
He knew that the golden stamp was a projection of the golden stamp inside his body, but it was the first time Lei Xingfeng had seen such a golden stamp. This golden stamp was also ring-shaped. It was different from the stamps in Lei Xingfeng's previous life. The two had nothing to do with each other. The stamp here was something that gathered energy and reflected one's attributes. Every Sixth Ring Sage could have their own stamp. The stamp would grow with the owner until the Ninth Ring Sage body. Only then would the stamp in the body reach perfection and be able to collect and control a huge amount of energy.
The golden stamp seemed to be breathing. It grew and shrank, almost at the same rhythm as the owner's breathing.
Feng Chenzong's body expanded as if he was being blown. His face was red, and his body also changed with the golden stamp.
Lei Xingfeng whispered, "How terrifying … How strong does the body have to be to withstand this kind of energy infusion?"
Wu Yang had already retreated. He stood in front of the chair and stared at Feng Chenzong. A trace of melancholy flashed through his eyes.
Everyone held their breath and stared at Feng Chenzong. Everyone's hearts were pounding. This kind of advancement was terrifying, frightening, and dangerous.
Wu Yang said, "This is only the first step. A Feng, you should know by now how difficult it is to advance to Monarch. Countless people have fallen at this first step and their bodies have exploded. Everyone who has advanced to Monarch is an amazing person."
Compared to this, the advancement of a Sage was incomparable. For example, advancing from Fifth Ring to Sixth Ring was a big hurdle. Many people were stopped at this step. But compared to advancing to Monarch, it was like one was crossing a threshold, while the other was climbing a peak. The two couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
After about an hour, the golden stamp finally stabilized. Feng Chenzong was no longer fluctuating. He seemed to have returned to normal.
Wu Yang sighed. "It wasn't easy. He finally passed the first test."
Gucci said, "It's already not bad. Now it's up to him to collect the golden stamp."
Lei Xingfeng thought, "Collect the golden stamp? It shouldn't be difficult. " In the thunderstorm, collecting Lei Yin was a breeze. There was no difficulty at all. Would the golden stamp be different?
The golden stamp was shrinking little by little. The original golden stamp had expanded to the size of the stamp table. Nine pillars supported it. Gradually, the golden stamp shrunk to the size of seven pillars. Lei Xingfeng could clearly see the sweat on Feng Chenzong's forehead. As soon as it appeared, it evaporated.
Soon, the golden stamp shrunk to the size of three pillars. Feng Chenzong seemed to have reached his limit. His whole body was shaking violently.
Wu Yang shook his head. "It's still not enough. Sigh."
Gucci's face showed a trace of fear. "Master, please help."
