After putting up the auction notice in Royal, Lin Huang did not intend to waste these ten days. Instead, he entered the Great Heaven Palace once more.
After adjusting the time flow in the Great Heaven Palace to ten thousand times that of the outside world, Lin Huang started another round of closed-door cultivation.
Naturally, the primary goal of his closed-door cultivation was to refine the twenty-six half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants that Death's Scythe and Virtuoso had provided.
He sat there for over nine thousand days.
He had completely refined all twenty-six half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants.
His combat strength had also skyrocketed from second-rank to fifth-rank heavenly god-level.
As he had expected, the number of half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants he needed to refine multiplied with each minor elevation.
He only needed to refine one first-rank, two second-rank, and four third-rank … He would need a total of 256 to reach ninth-rank.
This was only the number of half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants he needed to elevate from eighth-rank to ninth-rank. If he counted from first-rank to ninth-rank, he would need a total of 511 God Territory Shell Remnants.
If one Dao Weapon could only be auctioned off for fifty half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants, he would need a total of eleven Dao Weapons to exchange for enough half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants to elevate to ninth-rank.
When he opened his eyes, Lin Huang did not feel at ease.
Although it seemed like he was elevating much faster than others, the resources he needed were hundreds or even thousands of times more than others.
After tossing these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, Lin Huang checked on his changes again.
His physical body and God's soul had been greatly enhanced, and his Divine Telekinesis was much more powerful as well.
Most importantly, the number of god sequence chains he could borrow had increased from 200 to 1,600.
"Right now, I should be more powerful than many half-step Lords." Lin Huang made a rough estimate of his abilities, but he did not think he could challenge lord-level powerhouses now.
After carefully checking his status for a while, the expression on Lin Huang's face quickly became odd.
"I can't believe a proper sword cultivator like me would be held back by my Sword Dao cultivation …"
Since he had been constantly improving his combat strength, he had not spent any time practicing his sword for the past six months. As a result, his Sword Dao had remained stagnant at level-2 Sword Dao heavenly rule — Heavenly Heart.
Even though he had long reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Heart realm, he had yet to make a breakthrough.
"Less than a day has passed in the outside world. There are still nine more days before the auction ends. In the Great Heaven Palace, there are still more than 90,000 days." Lin Huang did not intend to waste the remaining nine days. "I'll take advantage of this time to cultivate the Saber Dao."
Soon, Lin Huang listed all of the Sword Dao inheritances that he had obtained and began practicing deriving them in his head.
In the Great Heaven Palace, time passed day by day.
Lin Huang started from Mythical grade, to Supreme Divine grade (involving Rule Bending Power), and then to Saint grade (involving Order Power), practicing and deducing them one by one.
It was not only the inheritances he had obtained from the many sword cultivators in the Great Heaven Territory, but also the endless inheritances in the Sword Scripture.
When he was done with all the Sage Level sword skills, he quickly formed a Sword Dao general principle in his mind.
This Sword Dao general principle used more than 30,000 Sage Level sword skills as the core, millions of Supreme Divine sword skills as the skeleton, tens of millions of God-level sword skills as the flesh, and hundreds of millions of Transcendent sword skills as the fur.
As soon as the Sword Dao general principle was formed, Lin Huang did not even have time to modify and simplify it further before his Sword Dao had a breakthrough from level-2 Heavenly Heart to level-3 Heavenly Dao!
Lin Huang did not stop after his Sword Dao breakthrough. He merely glanced at it before continuing to modify the Sword Dao general principle.
Days passed in the Great Heaven Palace, and so did time in the outside world.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes again, 21 days had passed in the outside world.
He didn't expect that his closed-door cultivation would take so long.
He was satisfied when he looked at his Sword Dao improvement again.
Although his Sword Dao did not break through further and remained at Heavenly Dao, he had reached perfected Heavenly Dao.
He only needed an opportunity to break through to Sword Dao Heavenly Rule-Level and condense a Sword seal.
During this period of closed-door cultivation, he completely understood what a sword cultivator had to do to become a Lord.
It was very simple — all he had to do was condense a Sword seal.
Of course, this was easier said than done. In reality, not many people could do it.
Lin Huang, on the other hand, knew very well that he could take this path and that it would work.
However, he did not intend to take this path because it was a path that had already been taken by others. Even if he was more powerful than other sword cultivators, it would be difficult to make a substantial difference.
He wanted to walk his own path, to reach a perfected state in all aspects that no one could surpass, and then become a Lord!
Only when Lin Huang pushed open the doors of the Great Heaven Palace and walked out did he realize that 21 days had passed in the outside world.
The time he had spent in closed-door cultivation this time had far exceeded his expectations.
Upon returning to the Devil Hunter Star Zone, the first thing he did was to check his Royal identity token.
The auction had ended eleven days ago.
When he saw the final bid, Lin Huang was visibly stunned.
"It sold for such a high price?!"
The final bid for the sword-type Dao Weapon was 112 half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants.
As for the Battle Dao Armor, it sold for an even higher price — 127 half-step Lords' God Territory Shell Remnants.
Puzzled, Lin Huang looked at his identity token — he had already exchanged for the God Territory Shell Remnants in it.
In Royal's mall and auctions, the transaction would be directly stored in the identity token of the buyer and the seller. There was no need for additional logistics. This was also a Space Rule that came with Royal's identity token.
These two batches of God Territory Shell Remnants had been automatically stored in Lin Huang's identity token when the transaction was completed eleven days ago.
Lin Huang scanned them with his Divine Telekinesis, puzzled. In the next instant, he understood why these two low-quality Dao Weapons had been sold for such a high price.
There were 239 God Territory Shell Remnants in total. Seventy percent of them belonged to Abyss half-step Lords, while the remaining thirty percent belonged to Bug Tribe half-step Lords.
None of them had been purified …
Lin Huang could even vaguely smell a strong stench of blood and foul odor. Clearly, some of them had been slaughtered not too long ago.
Abyssal creatures' God Territories were not worth much because they were contaminated by Abyssal energy. Purifying them was especially difficult. Moreover, only Lords and powerhouses beyond Lords had the ability to purify half-step lord-level Abyssal God Territory Shell Remnants.
As for Bug Tribe Shell Remnants, they were too incompatible, so nobody wanted them.
Bug Tribe powerhouses obtained god sequence chains through inheritance and plunder, so their God Territories were very messy. God Territories of other living beings were highly repulsive, so it was very difficult to refine and integrate them.
For Bug Tribe God Territories of the same grade, refining could take more than ten times longer than other living beings. Moreover, there was a possibility of rejection later on. Not only could they not strengthen their own God Territories, but they might even cause problems with their own God Territories.
However, to Lin Huang, none of this was a problem.
