The Sword seal fragment in Virtuoso's hand looked rather familiar to Lin Huang.
It was a palm-sized piece of dark gold paper with faint black sigils flashing on it. However, this piece of paper looked incomplete, as if it had been torn by someone.
Lin Huang's eyes widened. This was almost identical to the page of Sword Scripture in his body; the only difference was the shape of the torn piece.
"What, you've seen it before?" Virtuoso was rather surprised to hear that. From what Lin Huang said, it seemed like they had seen it before.
"Sort of," Lin Huang answered vaguely, hiding the fact that he already had a Sword seal fragment in his body.
Virtuoso saw that Lin Huang did not want to talk about it further, so they did not delve into the topic.
"I have a question. If you're also a sword cultivator, will the consolidated Sword seals differ in strength when you elevate to lord-level through Sword Dao? "Lin Huang was very curious about Dao seals and could not help asking.
"Of course." Virtuoso smiled and nodded.
"The more solid a person's cultivation foundation is, the more powerful the consolidated Dao seal will be.
"It's actually a very simple logic. A Dao seal consolidated from nine god sequence chains can't possibly be more powerful than a Dao seal consolidated from over a hundred god sequence chains.
"Sword Dao is essentially a type of Rule Bending Power. Sword Dao heavenly rule and god sequence chains are actually not fundamentally different.
"Of course, the difference is that everyone's consolidated Sword Dao heavenly rule is unique. That's because it's impossible for two people to cultivate the exact same sword skills. Even if we take a step back and assume that there are two brothers who cultivate the exact same sword skills, their innate talent and comprehension will definitely not be the same. It's even more impossible for their understanding of various sword skills to be the same. "
"These various factors that make up Sword Dao heavenly rule's uniqueness determine the strength of Sword Dao heavenly rule, as well as the strength of the subsequent Sword seals.
"In short, if you don't want to be crushed by other Lords after becoming a Lord, build your foundation," Virtuoso finished explaining and added a final conclusion.
"I have another question." Lin Huang could not help asking, "Is there really a higher level after lord-level?"
Virtuoso thought about it for a moment before answering, "Let me put it this way: becoming a Lord is only the first step to becoming a powerhouse."
"Of course, for the vast majority of people, becoming a Main God is the final destination, as well as the highest point of their lives. However, for some people, the road ahead is still very long … "Virtuoso deliberately glanced at Lin Huang when they said the last sentence.
"May I ask, what is the combat level of your main body?" Lin Huang couldn't help but ask.
"This is a secret for now." However, Virtuoso shook their head and refused to provide an answer. "Because there's not much point in telling you."
After getting this answer, Lin Huang smiled awkwardly and didn't continue to ask.
After taking the Sword seal fragment from Virtuoso's hands and agreeing on a time to enter the Abyss, Lin Huang chatted with Virtuoso for a while. He basically asked questions and Virtuoso answered them. Lin Huang only gave up reluctantly when Virtuoso said that they were about to lose their ability to block the surveillance.
After exchanging contact numbers, Virtuoso left quietly.
After Virtuoso left, the Obsidian Dragon-being quickly regained its self-consciousness.
Lin Huang also quickly returned to hunting mode.
Outside the secret territory, when the surveillance footage was restored, a group of Heavenly Gods only saw Lin Huang battling the Obsidian Dragon-being.
"Where's Virtuoso?"
"Did the two of them fight or not?!"
"I really want to know what happened just now …"
A few Heavenly Gods hurriedly opened the Gold Leaderboard to check. Only when they saw that Virtuoso was still on the leaderboard did they completely dismiss the idea of whether Virtuoso had been killed by Xiu Mu.
Although they did not know exactly what had happened, seeing that Lin Huang was still unharmed and that Virtuoso was still on the leaderboard, Zang Tian let out a long sigh of relief.
One was a reincarnated Almighty, while the other was a heaven-defying genius.
No matter which one of them was in trouble, it was an outcome he did not want to see.
In the secret territory, Lin Huang quickly and successfully killed the Obsidian Dragon-being. After putting away the monster carcass, he continued on his way to his next target.
In the short ten minutes or so earlier, although what had happened was only a small interlude …
However, Lin Huang's understanding of this world was far deeper than it had been ten minutes ago.
Perhaps Lords were the strongest powerhouses in this great world, but there were countless great worlds in the universe. Most of them were more powerful than the great world he was currently in.
In the universe, Lords were merely slightly more powerful cultivators. There were even more powerful powerhouses above Lords.
In the universe, overlords who dominated a region might even have hundreds or even thousands of Lords working for them.
Initially, he had thought that his ability to kill Heavenly Gods was already considered pretty good. However, his conversation with Virtuoso had made Lin Huang realize that this world was far vaster than he had imagined!
Putting aside his messy thoughts, Lin Huang was even more determined to become more powerful.
This was because only by becoming more powerful could he see that vaster world!
Outside the secret territory, someone among the group of Heavenly Gods very quickly noticed the changes in Lin Huang.
"Have any of you noticed that Xiu Mu's combat style seems to have become more stable?"
"I have the same feeling. In the previous hunts, it was more like he was forcing his opponent to use their full strength. He would only kill his opponent when they unleashed their full strength. However, his current combat style is more concise and efficient. He seems to be pursuing the fewest telekinetic flying daggers to kill his opponent. "
"I've noticed it too. He's looking for every flaw in his opponent. Moreover, he's pursuing every flaw in his opponent to inflict the greatest damage! His grasp of timing is much better than before. "
"It's very likely that Virtuoso brought about this change!"
In fact, Zang Tian had noticed the changes in Lin Huang right away. At first, he had been slightly worried, worried that Virtuoso had done something to Lin Huang. However, slowly, he felt that this change was not a bad thing. In fact, it might even be a good thing for Lin Huang.
Lin Huang was the only one who knew that the reason he had changed his combat style was because he understood that becoming stronger was not just about increasing one's combat strength.
Experiencing every battle attentively, grasping every battle detail, and learning from one's opponent was also a way to become stronger.
As long as he put in enough effort, even if his opponent was weaker than him, every battle would bring him benefits.
He even faintly felt that he seemed to have found the passion he had when he had first stepped onto the path of cultivation.
In the secret territory, another two days passed very quickly.
Through repeated hunts and plundering the rules of the Heavenly God prisoners' inner worlds, Lin Huang very quickly increased his number of rules from 400,000 to 810,000, successfully elevating to fourth-rank.
However, he had no intention of changing his hunting targets, and he still targeted third-rank Heavenly Gods.
On the surface, his combat level was still ninth-rank true god-level. Under normal circumstances, being able to hunt third-rank Heavenly Gods at this combat level was already quite impressive.
Although the speed of plundering rules would be faster when hunting fourth-rank Heavenly Gods, he decisively chose to give up in order to avoid attracting even more attention.
