Chapter 310: 158, do you want to marry Jiayi?_4

“Not much hope?” Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

The black-haired man glanced at him and said, “There’s probably a few percent chance.”

Lin Qing was stunned.

“Seeing as I’m kind-hearted, I’ll give you two pieces of advice.”

The black-haired man said with a smile: “First, this secret technique is extremely difficult to get started with, and the subsequent cultivation is even harder. Actually, the secret technique itself is not that useful, it’s merely to test your comprehension, and it has its own spirit. If you fail the Divine Son Trial, the secret technique will completely disappear from your mind, making you forget it entirely.”

“If you succeed in the Divine Son Trial, the secret technique will elevate the cultivation difficulty based on your foundation.”

“So if there’s hope, you better succeed quickly.”

The black-haired man smiled mysteriously, “Additionally, this secret technique is essentially a detection and test. If you want to get started quickly, you can go through the Star Abyss simulated by the Chuanxing Tower. The more layers of Star Abyss you pass, the more hope there is for the secret technique to get started.”

“The Star Abyss simulated by the Chuanxing Tower?”

Lin Qing asked, puzzled: “My Chuanxing Tower doesn’t have that function, does it need for Earth to connect to the Universe and link to the Second Cosmic Network?”

“Why so complicated?” The black-haired man glanced at him, “You’ll have to figure it out yourself, whether it works out or not is up to you.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, planning to ask Irenado or Chu Hongjun after leaving.

“You should go now.”

The black-haired man smiled at Lin Qing, “With your talent and opportunities, even without much effort, you can dominate a Level One Civilization. As for going higher… that depends on you.”

“Yes.” Lin Qing replied with a nod.

…

Thus ended this treasure exploration journey of the Celestial Vault Islands.

Lin Qing’s consciousness retreated from the Second Cosmic Network, and he slowly opened his eyes in reality.

Outside, the morning sun was shining on this land.

Lin Qing pushed open the door and walked to the rooftop on the fourth floor, gazing at the distant sunrise with a slight smile.

“This time… the harvest was great…”

He felt a bit troubled, “But, there’s too much I need to cultivate.”

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

First, he had to engrave seven sets of Holy Texts.

It’s said that engraving Holy Texts is a troublesome task, like water droplets wearing away a stone, slowly engraving the Holy Texts into the life or even the soul. It requires not only vast amounts of energy but also meticulous and precise crafting.

One set of Holy Texts, just accumulating the energy alone would take at least several years, while the engraving time is relatively short, though it is still troublesome.

“To advance, seven sets of Holy Texts, who knows how long that would take.”

Lin Qing thought with frustration, “The key is the Divine Skill ‘Vortex Star,’ which requires understanding the essence of nine types of power. Mastering the Vortex Star Divine Skill itself is also a challenge, though advancing is relatively simple…”

Moreover, there is the most important Detection Secret Technique.

This secret technique is vital for mastering the entire set of Divine Skills necessary for the Divine’s Messenger at the Original Stage of the ‘Divine Son’ trial. No matter what, he has to learn it to be confident.

One can imagine that the geniuses in the Second-level Civilizations not only have the basic Divine Position and Holy Texts but surely have cultivated Divine Skills as well.

Just relying on the Second Divine Skill ‘Vortex Star,’ he has no confidence to compete.

That’s why the Sky Island Guardian thinks he has no hope of becoming a ‘Divine Son.’

The difficulty is indeed daunting.

For so-called geniuses of Level One Civilization, obtaining one set of Holy Texts would be considered lucky. Without the treasures and opportunities from Earth Civilization, there’s no hope of obtaining Divine Skills.

In front of those geniuses of the Second-level Civilizations, he is truly nothing.

“Take it slow.”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “It would be best to succeed before the next treasure exploration in two years, if not, then wait… Ideally, I should have enough strength before Earth connects to the starry sky.”

If he can succeed, even if Earth is temporarily occupied, he would have the ability to reclaim it in the future.

…

Back in reality, the Black Flame Clone began burning life force, pondering the Holy Texts he had just learned.

Lin Qing prepared to let the Black Flame Clone first work on engraving the Holy Text ‘Hidden World.’

Recently, he has been in the spotlight too much, so he needed to hide the Black Flame Clone well, ensuring the Pseudo God’s Domain was used every time to confirm that no one was detecting him before entering the depths of the earth.

This time, he let the Black Flame Clone hide even deeper underground, thirty thousand meters below the surface.

Telekinesis penetration through rock and other solid materials consumes quite a lot, and the penetration distance would be reduced to just a fraction.

At a depth of thirty kilometers, his Domain just barely reached. If using Telekinesis to penetrate, it would require painstaking effort to infiltrate slowly. Even the Telekinesis of a Star Creature wouldn’t go to such lengths unless they knew he had secrets underground.

Moreover, he now constantly maintains a small range of Pseudo God’s Domain to guard against Telekinesis Detection.

“Once the Black Flame engraves ‘Hidden World,’ it’ll be much easier.”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “Engraving Holy Texts shouldn’t be difficult for me. The experience and skills for engraving can be mastered perfectly through advancement, and repaying mainly involves replenishing the required energy… However, this can be expedited hundredfold with Starry Sky Source Stones.”

Normally, engraving Holy Texts and accumulating energy would take several years.

But this is only the simplest energy accumulation. Though it seems troublesome, for him, as long as he has enough Starry Sky Source Stones, he can speed up the process hundredfold!

Years could be shortened to less than ten days.

The proficiency required for engraving can also be perfected through advancement.

The two most important aspects, energy and proficiency for engraving Holy Texts, are not significant issues for him.
