Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"Within the lower-level Sky Island numbered 00019, there is the inheritance of the Chaotic Series Holy Text 'Shadow'; on the lower-level Sky Island numbered 00094, there exists the Destruction System Star-level Battle Technique; within the lower-level Sky Island numbered 000207, there lies the Life System Holy Text 'Endless Divine Power'; on the lower-level Sky Island numbered 00577, there is the Nature Element Star-level Telekinesis Secret Technique..."

Lin Qing was increasingly shocked the more he listened.

During the entire meeting, Zhao Jiayi had revealed information about hundreds of Sky Islands.

At the very least, they possessed either Star-level Battle Techniques or Telekinesis Secret Techniques, or else Holy Texts.

It was said that among the Celestial Vault Islands, the most common inheritances on a Sky Island were Original-level Battle Techniques or Telekinesis Secret Techniques and Holy Texts—Divine Skills that could not be shared with others.

However, the inheritance of Battle Techniques and Secret Techniques was different; as long as one passed the highest difficulty of the Sky Island's challenges, one could gain the qualification to pass on the knowledge!

Part of today's Battle Technique inheritances had originated in this way.

Although for the current Lin Qing, ordinary Original-level Battle Techniques were already meaningless,

to acquire an Original-level Divine Position in the future, he would definitely still need to combine various higher-level Combat Skills, Secret Techniques, etc., to form a more powerful Divine Position.

"That's too much..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but be secretly alarmed.

How had Zhao Jiayi discovered so many highly confidential pieces of information?

Even a thought-proof chamber, specifically made to create such a map, felt a bit outrageous.

"...on the middle-level Sky Island numbered 1017, there is an inheritance related to manufacturing a special divine artifact component 'Jun Tian Hammer'..."

After completing the information about the last middle-level Sky Island, Zhao Jiayi finally stopped and said, "That's about it; is it useful to you?"

Lin Qing took a deep breath, glanced at her, suppressed the urge to pat her head, and communicated through Telekinesis Transmission, "Very useful."

"That's good," Zhao Jiayi giggled.

"What does your uncle do?" Lin Qing couldn't resist asking, "Is he one of the Earth people?"

"Yes, Uncle Yan seems to be from the Star Patrol Council..."

Zhao Jiayi whispered back through Telekinesis Transmission, "But I heard from Aunt Irena that years ago he was a council member when he was only nineteen, and he had also joined a vast force in the universe through the Star Patrol Council, no longer being a person from Earth civilization..."

A council member at nineteen?

Hearing this, Lin Qing instantly thought of the terrifying genius Tang Wanqiu had mentioned.

Normally, people started their cultivation at least at sixteen or seventeen, after the growth period, so as not to affect life evolution and the stability of the Genetic Group, and also when psychological concepts had initially formed.

A member of the Star Patrol Council at only nineteen?

Chen Guang had said that the members of the Star Patrol Council were all Original-level Clerics!

Furthermore, the Star Patrol Council, being a special force, belonged to none of the civilizations but was so powerful that even the Intelligent Star Group dared not provoke it.

Such a character... It made sense that he had access to this information.

"Jiayi, this is a serious matter; you mustn't speak of it to anyone," Lin Qing couldn't help but caution Zhao Jiayi.

"People know, I've only ever told you," Zhao Jiayi murmured.

...

After the meeting, when Lin Qing was about to leave Twilight Paradise, he received a Telekinesis Transmission from Miss Irenado—

"Wait for me in room seventeen."

Puzzled, he did as Irenado had instructed and waited in room seventeen for a while before seeing the beautiful Earth cleric appear in the room.

"Miss Irenado," Lin Qing began.

"Are you heading to the Celestial Vault Islands tomorrow?"

A slight smile appeared in Irenado's deep blue eyes as she asked, "Are you confident now? If not, I can have Jiayi come and chat with you."

Lin Qing's heart jolted as he suddenly looked at Irenado and exclaimed, "No wonder you agreed to let Jiayi attend the meeting today; you did it on purpose..."

"I don't know anything."

Irenado gazed at him, half-smiling, "You don't know anything either; it's all just luck, understand?"

Lin Qing paused, then nodded and said, "Thank you, I understand."

"Good that you understand," Irenado smiled.

She advised again, "Remember, when exploring for treasures, prioritize what you need; whether Earth civilization needs it isn't that important. Only if your own power is sufficient can you truly be of help to Earth civilization in the future; the current situation isn't really significant."

"Yes," Lin Qing nodded immediately.

"Go," Irenado nodded slightly.

After Lin Qing left the Attached Space 'Twilight Paradise,' only Irenado was left in the room.

"Yan Que was right..."

The saintly-clad cleric quietly faced the endless twilight outside the spaceship, a trace of a smile playing on her lips, "Indeed, the confidentiality agreement can also be circumvented..."

...

...

"I was only hoping to get a day or two's worth of information, but I ended up getting so much classified information..."

In the quiet Cultivation Room, Lin Qing took a deep breath, recalling what Irenado had said, which made him even more certain—

This information had been intentionally leaked to him by Irenado through Zhao Jiayi!

Perhaps...

Zhao Jiayi's uncle had also intentionally cooperated?

A confidentiality agreement prohibits disclosing information to others.

But that's subjective.

If someone, under powerless circumstances, had their memory searched, it naturally wouldn't count as a violation of the confidentiality agreement.

Similarly, if one didn't even know their thoughts were being probed, that naturally wouldn't count as a violation either.

"This information... could it be from the Star Patrol Council?" Lin Qing silently speculated.

No matter whose it was, as long as it benefitted him, that was enough.

After all, he wouldn't possibly spread it around.

...

The next day.

December 29th, 1:45 AM.
