After returning from Fantasy Island, Lin Huang had been waiting for the results of the auction from Royal’s side.

  Naturally, he did not stay idle.

  Considering that Bai and the rest of his imperial monsters’ combat strength was indeed holding him back, and that they would take forever to cross the threshold of major dao-level if they were to cultivate on their own, he thought he would use the Combat Strength Upgrade Cards directly. Apart from the Bug Tribe, he elevated his 25 imperial monsters from lord-level all the way up to major dao-level.

  However, he merely elevated them to major dao-level and stopped there.

  This was mainly because it would exhaust Xiao Hei’s Origin Energy if he elevated them any further.

  Moreover, major dao-level combatants were considered powerhouses in the universe. As long as they did not stir up trouble for themselves, they usually would not encounter anything too dangerous.

  After he elevated all of them to major dao-level, Lin Huang released them.

  Apart from Bloody, who stayed by his side, the rest of the 24 imperial monsters formed groups of two to three to explore the universe on their own.

  “You’ve elevated our combat strength to major dao-level directly, then your current level of ability…” Bloody could not help but ask.

  “I’m not exactly sure whether I’m at major dao-level or heavenly dao-level.” Lin Huang shook his head while forcing a smile.

  “What do you plan to do next then?” Bloody continued to ask.

  “Let’s establish the Sword Alliance first. We might need to settle some matters regarding the Raiders and the Black Abyss, as well as some grudges.” Lin Huang thought he would have to establish a foothold first.

  His ability was not weak, but the Sword Servants under him, as well as Lin Xin and Lin Xuan’s abilities, were far from sufficient.

  “Inform Sword 1 that I’ll participate in every Sword Alliance meeting.”


  Bloody nodded.

  “We’ll talk about the rest after setting up the Sword Alliance.”


  “You’ll take charge of the Sword Alliance’s matters during this period of time. I’ll get Sword 1 and the other Sword Servants to work with you.” Naturally, Lin Huang believed in Bloody’s ability.

  Bloody only left after the two were done talking about business and had chatted for a little while.

  For the next few days, Bloody pushed the Sword Alliance’s development forward resolutely, putting the Sword Alliance officially on track in the universe.

  Meanwhile, Lin Huang spent some time entering the virtual realm to consolidate all of the Dao seals that were unsealed from his imperial monsters’ elevation. He had gained over 2.6 million Dao seals this time.

  He had officially consolidated a total of 22.2 million Dao seals, breaking through the 20 million mark.

  He could clearly sense that the number was still far from the limit that his body could contain.

  He received the storage rings that Yang Ling had unlocked as soon as he left closed-door cultivation.

  He examined them carefully as soon as he received them.

  The first one was White Brow’s storage ring.

  The first thing he saw was seven Goldfingers as he spread out his Divine Telekinesis into the ring.

  White Brow was not a traveler, so he could not integrate Goldfingers at all. He must have obtained the seven Goldfingers after hunting Club members. He left them behind to trade with the other travelers inside the Raiders.

  However, Lin Huang had now come into possession of these Goldfingers.

  Apart from the Goldfingers, there were a bunch of reincarnated beings’ tools and elixirs.

  White Brow, a reincarnated being, could use these things, but Lin Huang could not. He could only get rid of them at auctions or by trading other resources for them with people at the Club.

  Apart from Goldfingers, and those special items such as reincarnated beings’ tools, there were two exotic treasures and some ten precious treasures.

  There were a few precious treasures that were suitable for his imperial monsters that had just been elevated to major dao-level.

  Those were the only things that Lin Huang was interested in.

  What he thought was a pity was that he did not see any dao-level powerhouses’ corpses and Kingdom Shell Remnants in White Brow’s storage space.

  After checking White Brow’s ring, Lin Huang checked out Yan Jun’s.

  As a major dao-level powerhouse as well, there were surprisingly few items in his storage ring, which was pathetic.

  There were Goldfingers in his storage ring too, but there were only two.

  As he was a regenerated being, there were no reincarnated beings’ tools and elixirs in his ring.

  Apart from the two Goldfingers, there were only four precious treasures that Lin Huang was interested in.

  Among the four precious treasures, there was only one armor that the imperial monsters under Lin Huang could use.

  Later on, he checked Jin Feng and Hu Shan’s storage rings.

  He obtained two exotic treasures and some ten precious treasures.

  The remaining 30 or so storage rings basically belonged to minor dao-level powerhouses.

  There were only a total of five Goldfingers, over ten precious treasures, and some 20 dao-level God’s corpses that Lin Huang thought were useful.

  There were also hundreds of spiritual treasures that were valuable.

  Meanwhile, for the remaining miscellaneous items, the 40 or so storage rings could probably be traded for two to three precious treasures.

  After calculating the spoils, Lin Huang retrieved all of the Goldfingers.

  The Goldfingers were basically grade-1. Not only did he think that he would not use them, he thought they were quite useless to Lin Xin and Yang Ling as well.

  Therefore, he chose to let his Goldfingers devour them.

  The first one he retrieved was the grade-3 Goldfinger, Critical Hit Hammer. It devoured six grade-1 Goldfingers consecutively, elevating it from the fourth stage to the tenth stage, which was the limit.

  The Critical Hit Hammer’s critical hit effect increased from the lowest ninefold to the highest one hundredfold!

  The second Goldfinger Lin Huang retrieved was the grade-4 Gate of All Realms.

  After letting the Gate of All Realms devour three Goldfingers, the number of virtual bodies it could create increased from seven to ten.

  However, that was not its limit.

  Sensing that a grade-2 Goldfinger was needed for the Gate of All Realms to create more virtual bodies, Lin Huang fed it the only grade-2 Goldfinger in this batch of spoils.

  After the Gate of All Realms devoured it, the limit of virtual bodies it could create increased from 10 to 20.

  Lin Huang then put the Gate of All Realms away in his body.

  He fed the remaining four grade-1 Goldfingers to the grade-4 Soul-controlling Tablet directly.

  After feeding his Goldfingers, Lin Huang sorted out his storage ring.

  He summoned Sword 1 after retrieving every resource that was useful to him, and he gave the remaining spoils to Sword 1.

  “Handle these miscellaneous items as you wish. You guys can do whatever you want. You can trade them for Dao Weapons or other resources. They should be enough to fund the Sword Alliance’s preliminary operations.”


  Although those miscellaneous items were nothing to Lin Huang, they were items in legitimate dao-level powerhouses’ storage rings. To the Sword Servants who had just been elevated to Lords, some of these items could be traded for a couple of supreme-grade Dao weapons each.

  Shock clearly flashed through Sword 1’s eyes when he received the ring, but he soon regained his composure.

  He was already used to Lin Huang’s surprises.

  He no longer thought it unusual no matter what this Lord Swordmaster could do.

  He even held the faint belief that there was nothing that this Lord Swordmaster could not do!

  Lin Huang dwelled on his thoughts for a long time as he watched Sword 1 leave.

  “The Sword Servants’ abilities are indeed quite weak…… Perhaps the only way to elevate them quickly is to rely on the Kingdom’s accelerated time, which is dumb…”
