The anomaly on the second layer of the Abyss Brink even attracted the attention of the powerhouses from the Land of Origin.
The conclusion was that although the crack was expanding slowly, it would only take five years at the most for the creatures on the other side of the crack to arrive.
The Land of Origin even gathered a group of demigod-level powerhouses to seal it. They used tens of sealing techniques but none of them worked.
As soon as the news spread, everyone in the transcendent circle knew about it. Not only the core zone, but even the few safe zones outside the core zone had spread. Under the Coalition government's ban, the news did not spread to the circle below the transcendent level.
Lin Huang's sense of danger grew stronger. He had heard from Mr. Fu about the tragedy of the war 800 years ago. If a similar crisis were to happen again, even a virtual god-level might not be able to protect himself. He knew that the five-year deadline given by the powerhouses from the Land of Origin was definitely not an exaggeration.
"Imperial-level isn't enough. I must at least achieve virtual god-level or even true god-level within five years!" Lin Huang set a new goal for himself. He did not have the great ambition to save the world, at least not now. He just did not want to die in the upcoming war.
For the next few days, apart from sleeping, Lin Huang trained his telekinesis. He only had breakfast instead of three meals a day. He even relied on his telekinesis to order and pick up food for breakfast. If not for the fact that not eating for a long time would affect his body and his telekinesis cultivation, he might have to save time for breakfast. A holy fire-level would not affect his body much if he did not eat for a week. However, it would affect him if he did not eat for more than a week.
On the second day after the news about the crack of the Abyss Brink was revealed, Lin Huang had broken through to level-3 in Seamless. He had completed the division of 3,000 telekinetic threads and had completely reached the level of the Devil's Psykid.
After another week, Lin Huang's telekinetic threads had been divided into more than 8,000 threads. The level-4 cultivation of Seamless finally slowed down. Although his Divine Telekinesis was powerful, his combat level was still too low. Due to the limitations of his soul's strength, it was difficult for the telekinetic threads to continue dividing.
However, after ten days of crazy cultivation, the strength of Lin Huang's telekinesis was now able to defeat the immortal-level rank-6 Devil's Psykid.
This week, Hu Lu from the black market helped Lin Huang purchase two sets of supreme telekinetic weapons that consisted of 360 flying daggers. Now, Lin Huang had thousands of supreme telekinetic flying daggers in his hands. With these three telekinetic weapons in hand, his telekinetic combat ability was no longer inferior to his Sword Dao.
After staying in Sweep City for more than ten days, Yao Lan finally contacted Lin Huang again. She sent him a very short message.
"Eight o 'clock tonight, Eight Desolate Diner, Room 301. I have something good for you."
Lin Huang did not find it strange that Yao Lan knew that he was in Ba Huang City. After all, the Yao family was the local tyrant in Ba Huang City and he did not hide his whereabouts. Since Nian Neng had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation these two days, he was not that busy, so he agreed to the meeting immediately.
At 7.50 pm, Lin Huang arrived at Eight Desolate Diner ten minutes earlier. A waitress brought him to Room 301.
As the waitress served him tea, Yao Lan entered the room with a young man who looked about 25 or 26 years old.
The man's combat level was one rank higher than Yao Lan's. He was on immortal-level rank-4 and he gave Lin Huang a sense of danger.
With just a glance, Lin Huang could tell that the man was a supreme genius. His actual ability might have surpassed immortal-level rank-9.
"Lin Xie, let me introduce you. This is Huangfu Hao from the Huangfu family." Yao Lan introduced them to each other. "Hao Zi, this is Lin Xie that I've told you about."
The Huangfu family was the second most powerful family in Ba Huang City. Their overall ability was only second to the Yao family. Lin Huang had heard of Huangfu Hao before. He was a supreme genius among the younger generation of the Huangfu family.
"Xiao Lan said that you're quite powerful. Attack me with all your might," Huangfu Hao said after taking a good look at Lin Huang.
"Hao Zi, let's eat first …" Yao Lan frowned.
"Xiao Lan, I know that you want to talk about this after eating, but you know that I'm an impatient person. I'm used to doing business first." Huangfu Hao raised his hand to stop Yao Lan and looked at Lin Huang. "If I approve of your ability, I'll apologize to you for being rude later."
"Is that what you're talking about?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrow and looked at Yao Lan.
"This guy has always had a low EQ. He's not picking on you." Yao Lan explained helplessly, "Don't mind him. Let's eat first. We'll talk about this after eating."
"There's no need for that. Let's get straight to the point." Lin Huang took a sip of his tea and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Alright then." Yao Lan nodded helplessly as the atmosphere was not suitable for eating. "We'd like to invite you to join the Sweep Alliance."
"Sweep Alliance?" Lin Huang had never heard of such an organization.
"The Sweep Alliance is a special organization that was established by the geniuses in Ba Huang City 300 years ago. All the members of the organization are geniuses. Among them are supreme geniuses like me and Huangfu Hao, "Yao Lan explained.
"A genius organization?" Lin Huang had heard from Mr. Fu that it would be best to join a genius organization after arriving at the core zone. This was because there were rare ruins and special mysterious places that were only open to geniuses. However, different genius organizations had different standards. Some of them would not allow the applicants to join unless they did a thorough investigation. Therefore, Lin Huang did not have much hope in joining a genius organization. After all, his identity was fake and it would be troublesome if someone tried to find out more about him.
"That's right. The Sweep Alliance has a more relaxed way of joining. As long as two or more members recommend you, you'll be able to join. Although more than one-third of the members are locals in Ba Huang City, we don't have any requirements on the members' background and we won't dig into your personal information. It doesn't matter if you're from an underground organization as long as you're capable and you're not a member of any genius organization. However, to be honest, the reason why we have such a relaxed way of joining is that we're the weakest among the genius organizations. "Yao Lan told him the reason why she wanted to invite Lin Huang. "For example, the powerful genius organizations in Division 1 don't even need to recruit members. The powerful geniuses are the ones who come to them."
"Are there any restrictions after joining?" Lin Huang asked.
"In reality, the management of the genius organizations is relaxed. After all, it's not an official organization. It's just an alliance of interests. I'll send you a copy of our membership document since it's not a secret document, "Yao Lan said and sent the membership document to Lin Huang.
As soon as he received the document, Lin Huang clicked on it immediately.
There were no mandatory requirements in the column of member obligations. There were only three requirements. One of them was for the members to climb the Stairway Tree in their spare time, the other was for the members to explore ruins and mysterious places, and the last one was for the members to participate in the annual Hunting War. There were no mandatory requirements.
"What's the Stairway Tree?" It was Lin Huang's first time hearing about such a thing.
"It's not surprising that you don't know about it. The Stairway Tree is a big tree in the virtual world. Only members of genius organizations are qualified to climb it. The higher you climb, the more points you'll obtain. Not only will the points be added to the genius organization's total points, but you can also use them to exchange for treasures. Those with a high ranking will be rewarded every month. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange for ancient relics and demigod relics at the Stairway Mall. "
"I don't think it's as simple as climbing the tree." Hearing Yao Lan's explanation, Lin Huang immediately understood that it was not as simple as climbing the tree.
"Of course not. Climbing the tree is only a small part of the difficulty. The difficult part is competing with others. The Stairway Tree can only accommodate a limited number of people at different heights. Therefore, competition is inevitable. You'll know the exact rules when you have the chance to go in the future, "Yao Lan explained briefly.
"Sounds interesting." After reading the membership document that Yao Lan sent, Lin Huang did not think there was anything wrong with it. He turned his head and looked at Huangfu Hao. "So, you're invited by Yao Lan and you're my second recommendation?"
"That's right. However, if you want to get my recommendation, you must have the ability to convince me," Huangfu Hao said straightforwardly.
"Sure, let's fight then." Since Lin Huang said that, it was obvious that he had accepted Yao Lan's invitation.
"Can't the two of you wait until after dinner to fight? I'm a little hungry … "Yao Lan looked helpless.
