Chapter 466: The Final Piece: Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“An even higher strength?” Sin Dragon Matriarch’s heart missed a beat; she became suspicious. For as long as she lived, she had never seen anyone so retarded to give out one’s strength to others. Was the Dark Spirit King a dumbass? No way.
She observed Tenko Kasumi from the corner of her eye. The red-haired woman seemed not to have any expression on her face. It was all vapidness and boredom.
Just like Sin Dragon Matriarch, the others fell into a commotion.
The Centaur King could not have cared less; he decided to follow Lin Sheng and would abide whatever decisions he made.
“It seems, my Lord, you are looking down on our strengths! Actually, it depends. But since this is a perk my Lord is going to endow us, it’s all the more welcome!” He guffawed, bending over backward to show his loyalty. When the big brother spoke, support must be shown. An awkward silence would make him lose face.
“I’m looking forward to it,” the Fairy Empress echoed. Her amputated arm had been reattached, looking as if it was back in shape.
Djall Demonhand went into bootlicking mode. “Your will is our command, My Lord.”
The Giant King brothers said nothing, their faces deadpan. They had just been defeated, the treasure vault looted. No way they could be in the mood now.
But Lin Sheng could not have cared less. “In fact, I really don’t like how weak you all are. Times are changing. We can’t keep our strength stagnant.”
Stretching out his hand with the palm facing upward, a pure-white holy power light sphere appeared and hovered a few centimeters above his palm.
“This power is called ‘holy power’. The strength of the holy power is higher than that of the soul power, more powerful than all your strengths. If you have doubts, you can try it out yourselves.”
Lin Sheng closed his hand, shattering the sphere in an instant with several beams of holy power shot up to the commanders. The beams reformed and turned into smaller holy power spheres.
“You can test the holy power sphere with your own power to find out which is more powerful. Then, if you have decided to acquire this new power, come to see me. I will grant you the Seed of Initiation.”
That said, he proceeded to the next agenda, without giving time for the commanders to ask questions. Extending his hand again, a blue aqua sphere materialized beside the Fairy Empress. When it flew up before Lin Sheng, he tapped it with his finger, and it dispersed and formed a transparent polyhedron that was several meters in diameter before everyone.
Inside, the image of a black desert gradually appeared, stretching all the way out and becoming one with the sky on the horizon. On the dark desert was a horned camel trudging through the endless dunes, above which hung a scorching hot purple sun. It was a place where everything looked distorted because of the searing heat waves.
“This is the dark spirit world you all are going to conquer,” said Lin Sheng. “Generally, we will use the existence of pure soul living beings like the dark spirits to determine if a realm is a dark spirit world.” He pointed at the horned camel. “So long as the place could support the existence of soul creatures, it would be one of the lower realms of my Dark Spirit Palace. The one you see here is bigger than normal. You all are going to check the place out to determine if we will categorize it as a dark spirit world. I want a comprehensive report ready in three days, telling me how long it takes for us to conquer this small world.”
“At your command!”
All commanders bowed in response. They did not know why Lin Sheng wanted to conquer so many tiny dark spirit realms, but since their lord said so, they would do it.
Lin Sheng did not tell anyone of his intention of finding the final piece of the fragments. And he was not going to tell anyone about the Dark Wheel, too. Only by keeping his cards close to his chest, could he ensure he was always on top of his game.
By hiding your strength, no one could plot against you. Your enemy will think twice if they want to attack because they do not know your real strengths and weaknesses. They do not want to attack you blindly only to bring about their own destruction.
Next, it was time to get some idea about the development of the Dark Spirit Palace. Djall Demonhand was the one who handled the matter. He was sort of the manager of the Dark Spirit Palace, strength-wise so so, but he was representing Lin Sheng’s will. So no one at the meeting dared to look down on him.
Djall Demonhand stepped forward and presented his report about the latest developments. Among the things were the preliminary exploration of the dark desert of the newly discovered dark spirit cave. The finding of settlements that looked like a human race and their cities spiked up the interest of the commanders. The meeting ended only after more than an hour.
The commanders returned to their respective territories, gathering their armies to conquer the black desert. Meanwhile, Lin Sheng was back to the Hall of Yin and Yang, starting to sort out his strength system.
If he wanted to purify himself and elevate the quality of his strength to the best condition, he would need a perfectly sealed environment devoid of any impurity. Among the eighty-eight guards of the Dark Wheel, there was one that would meet Lin Sheng’s need.
The eighty-eight guards, when used in general, could manifest in four major categories. But Lin Sheng could use any of them independently. Although the missing fragment meant he might lack some key guards, the existing guards he could use might be able to achieve the result.
After sorting out things about the dark spirit realms, Lin Sheng returned to Henricqal through the portal. It had been a while since he was last back. He almost forgot the influence of the asynchronous time flow. Sometimes, he really thought he had been away for many days, and he needed to call his family to tell them he was OK. Then he was told he had just called yesterday.
In the real world, Henricqal looked exactly like when he last saw it. Like a precision instrument, just at a larger scale, life went on as usual under the protection of the Tower of Dusk.
Henricqal had so uniquely developed that it had the Sanctum as the core, with the clerics as the core social system. The clergy had slowly become an emerging profession. They cultivated holy power. They were active in many fields. Using their supernatural power, they helped people by healing them.
Due to the favorable perception of the people toward the holy power, and the mental purification and fatigue alleviation effects of the purification force field, the Sanctum, and its clerics had gained higher social status and gradually became synonymous with positive mainstream power.
In the people’s minds, the holy light was justice and majesty, the power of kindness, and the healing of the mind and body.
