Chapter 735 -683: Choosing a Date for Promotion_2

Until now, Luo Wangshu was finally certain: “If it’s convenient, you can also cultivate their alien bodies. If manpower is lacking in Heavenly Demon Origin, there’s no need to ask for my permission—you can directly mobilize them for battle.”

Cultivating alien bodies is beneficial for martial cultivators. With the support of two bodies, their spiritual power limit could be raised by at least 20%.

Luo Wangshu herself wanted an alien body as well, but having already reached the Super Monarch Rank of the Ninth Realm as a partial generator of Abyss Source Material, the process of cultivating an alien body was far more complicated for her than for lower-level martial cultivators.

Currently, Lin Rui had secretly hired a specialized expert team to research this issue, but progress was slow.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui’s spirit was lifted. Jing Yuefang and Su Xinmei were both top-level experts at the Super Emperor Rank of the Eighth Realm, trusted confidants akin to direct disciples by Luo Wangshu’s side!

Unfortunately, neither of them had managed to master the 8SSS+ secret skill, slightly limiting their potential. However, considering them as quasi-members of the council was entirely reasonable.

As long as their equipment was upgraded, their overall combat strength wouldn’t be inferior to Lu Hanyuan’s.

As the two conversed, the flying chariot they were traveling in had already arrived at the star port. After dropping Lin Rui off, Luo Wangshu maneuvered the chariot to soar into the skies once again.

When Lin Rui returned to the Star Port Governor’s Mansion, he discovered that Fei Yunlai and the others had already apprehended the Zhuang family and were interrogating them in the mansion’s dungeon.

This individual had considerable background; surprisingly, he was a royal uncle too, with his sister being one of the emperor’s favored concubines—a lineage of significant prestige.

Unfortunately, he happened to cross paths with “Lin Hao.” If this guy didn’t pay up the owed money, even the emperor’s presence wouldn’t be of help.

Lin Rui visited the dungeon, but not to watch Fei Yunlai and the others interrogate the suspect—he wasn’t that idle.

His real aim was the dozen high-level demons that Li Yuehua and Hou Yuting had captured for him, which just happened to be enough to gather 400,000 soul power points. These points would allow him to exchange for three Grandmaster-level Dragon Stage Body Refining Secret Techniques.

Lin Rui craved soul power points desperately, and coincidentally, his one-year agreement with the tower guardian of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower had come due. He could now enter the tower for a massive harvest of soul power points.

Lin Rui had also set his sights greedily on Huang Fuqing’s battle dragon.

Both Lin Rui and Huang Fuqing had been researching ways to enable the “resurrection” of Huang Fuqing.

But if Huang Fuqing truly came back to life, leaving his battle dragon in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower would undoubtedly become a fatal flaw.

Thus, it was imperative to find a way to extract the battle dragon as soon as possible.

For now, however, the 400,000 soul power points Lin Rui had acquired by slaying these Sixth and Seventh Realm demons were already enough for him to ascend into the Seventh Realm.

Once he entered the Seventh Realm, he could then start strategizing to steal Huang Fuqing’s battle dragon without haste.

After Lin Rui had finished slaying the demons, he summoned the Battle Spirit Ring: “Ring Spirit, help me copy the Dragon Stage body-refining technique ‘Nine Dragons Divine Seal’ from Battle Dragon No. 2.”

Prompt: Copying ‘Nine Dragons Divine Seal (Grandmaster)’ requires 220,000 soul power points.

——This was the strongest body refining secret technique that Huang Fuqing had mastered. It simulated the stances of nine powerful dragon races to refine one’s body and soul, with effects nearing the Sky-reaching Level. The soul power points required for replication were exorbitantly high.

As soon as this secret technique was copied, Lin Rui’s blood and meridians began surging wildly, while his bones and flesh issued bursts of cracking and clattering sounds.

This was because the already robust and dense muscle tissue, fascia, and bone cells within Lin Rui’s body were undergoing further optimized restructuring, resulting in these unusual sounds.

In fact, just two days ago, Lin Rui had exchanged for another Grandmaster-level secret technique, the ‘Blood Core Fusion Yang Technique.’ The residual potency of this technique was still enhancing his physical constitution.

Originally, Lin Rui had planned to wait a bit longer—perhaps five days—to unleash 80–90% of the strengthening effects of the Blood Core Fusion Yang Technique before exchanging it for a new power body.

But Luo Wangshu’s words changed his mind. Since the East Abyss had bestowed him with the “Divine Blood,” it clearly intended for him to ascend quickly. Thus, he decided to comply.

Lin Rui waited quietly until the wild surge of energy triggered by the “Nine Dragons Divine Seal” gradually subsided and returned to calm. Only then did he use his divine thought to interface with his smart biological chip, bringing his consciousness back to his main body.

Next, he needed to prepare for the operation to equip Lin Tianchen with the new armament—a surgery that would take an entire day.

What Lin Rui didn’t yet know was that shortly after his main consciousness returned to the Ninth Base City, almost every major commercial leader in Great Song Star Port received the news. It was the announcement that Lin Hao—the Red Priest of Great Song, also serving as Cabinet Minister, Minister of Commerce, Star Port Governor, and Spy Detection Bureau Commander—had been promoted to ‘National Guardian Duke,’ bringing widespread jubilation.

This news spread like wildfire online and caused a massive stir across the business sector within the Earth Federation.

Everyone was shocked by the divine favor and trust that the East Abyss had bestowed upon Lin Hao. They also recognized the political implications of conferring the title of “National Guardian Duke.”

At the same time, the “Financial Sage” stood on the rooftop of the 69-story Federation Chamber of Commerce building in the starport, gazing with a pleased expression in the direction of the Star Port Governor’s Mansion.

“It looks like the East Abyss is quite satisfied with this trade tax policy. Before this National Guardian Duke falls from grace, this open-port trade strategy won’t see any changes.”

He then turned around, his gaze deep as it focused on a shadow standing behind him.

——It was none other than the “alien” of Li Xianglong, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle against the Longevity Association!

The “Financial Sage” narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that the Longevity Association likely hadn’t realized that this figure had already mastered the “One Origin Two Forms” technique, enabling his primordial spirit to control both his main body and alien simultaneously.

Thus, the fight between Li Xianglong and the Longevity Association had yet to show his full capabilities.

Since the outbreak of the conflict between these two forces, this individual had stayed close by his side.

A smile surfaced on the “Financial Sage’s” face: “However, the intensity of your battle with the Longevity Association has been escalating day by day. It’s already disrupting societal order. Judging by their momentum, they seem determined to bring down Lin Tianchen. Rumor has it that the laboratory where he’s hiding, along with its surrounding network, has been subjected to tight surveillance by the Longevity Association?

If not for the intervention of that rising star from the Federation, Mr. Lin, who purged their forces from Ninth Base City and deployed two abyss weapons to guard, they might have already stormed in to take Lin Tianchen’s head. Yet, even under such circumstances, you still have the leisure to leave your alien here? Are you not worried that the Longevity Association might, at any cost, leverage Forest Group’s resources to kill Lin Tianchen?”

“Not at all. Lin Tianchen possesses sufficient capability to handle the Longevity Association. The feud they’ve formed with him this time is utterly foolish.”

Li Xianglong’s alien stood with hands behind his back: “Right now, monitoring you is of greater priority.”

The Financial Sage couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, his gaze tinged with helplessness: “I’ve already told you—I am definitely not the ‘President’ of the Longevity Association. You really have the wrong person.”

“Whether you are or aren’t, your claims mean nothing.” Li Xianglong kept his hands clasped behind his back: “Be patient. I won’t keep pestering you for long. In two days, at most, I will know for certain whether you are indeed the President of the Longevity Association.”

Two days from now, Lin Tianchen would be able to break free from the Ancient God’s Divine Country.

By then, the entirety of the Longevity Association would have to confront the wrath of this second General of the Security Bureau.

While Li Xianglong and the Financial Sage were speaking, in the imperial palace of Luojing City, the emperor—who had just issued the formal edict appointing Lin Hao as “National Guardian Duke”—stood clad in luxurious golden battle armor in front of the Jinluan Palace, deeply pondering.

The Imperial Guard and the Yulin Army were still rallying troops and organizing supplies. It would take some time before their expedition to the Sky Pond could commence, giving the emperor an opportunity for extended contemplation here.

At that very moment, a lamp beside the emperor flickered suddenly, and an ancient voice transmitted into his ears: “My descendant, it seems you are troubled.”

The emperor’s heart tightened instantly, instinctively raising his head to look above.

His unease slightly abated upon realizing that the East Abyss had entered divine sleep.
