Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"Indeed, only the Guiding Imprint can get close."

Lin Qing showed a slight smile.

For a moment, Lin Qing was carried by the Blood Cauldron King Avatar into this vast White Tower World, and as they approached the world membrane wall, under the aura of the Guiding Imprint, the world membrane wall immediately formed a guiding path on its own.

"It opened." Lin Qing and the Blood Cauldron King disappeared within this White Tower World.

...

In the center of the White Tower World, within the core space, a towering round tower, seemingly built from white jade, was suspended, sitting at the deepest part of this world, with its top touching the highest point of this world.

This round tower, as if made from white jade stone, has stood in the White Tower World for countless years, already becoming the spiritual symbol and faith of all White Tower Civilization people.

At this moment, at the top of the round tower.

A grand and majestic palace settled here, and inside, a woman in a pure white, elegant gown, with her face hidden in the shadows, was emitting a presence beyond the world.

"Oh? Someone's entered?"

The white-dressed woman walked to the door of the temple and quietly gazed at the vast world below.

As the creator and dominator of this world, she could easily sense the entrance and exit of any life, including attempts by the Void Dominator to infiltrate.

"Hmm?"

The white-dressed woman suddenly frowned slightly, "Guiding Imprint?"

The White Tower World had released many Guiding Imprints in the past, some were sold, some exchanged with other civilizations, but without exception, they were all under her control.

Not only could she confirm the origins of the Guiding Imprints, but she could also deny these outsiders entry into the Secret Realm.

But the situation this time was completely different.

She could sense a pair of life forms using a Guiding Imprint, penetrating into this world.

"This isn't a Guiding Imprint I issued!"

The white-dressed woman frowned slightly, "It seems that it can only be the Guiding Imprint forcibly formed by those three great 2.9-level civilizations."

She knew that in this Void Sea, those three places regarded as holy lands of the 2.9-level civilizations held an extremely transcendent status.

To those Second-level Civilization's Void Secret Realms, which seemed secure and unyielding, barring outsiders from entering at will, in front of those holy lands, it was merely a façade.

After all, those three great holy lands have already stepped out of the Universe to become Independent Space-Time, just one step away from becoming legendary Level 3 Civilizations!

Their heritage, strength, means... imaginable.

If they wish, those three holy lands can easily replicate the Guiding Imprints of ordinary Second-level Civilizations, allowing the geniuses of the holy lands to venture into the Secret Realms of these civilizations for cultivation.

"Even though the White Tower World is defeated now, there are still geniuses from a 2.9-level civilization entering my White Tower World?"

The white-dressed woman was slightly puzzled.

If it were in the past, as a 2.7-level civilization developed over billions of years, it would be normal for geniuses from 2.9-level civilizations to come for a visit, but now the White Tower Civilization has collided with another powerful civilization, engaging multiple times on the Void battlefield, and was already utterly defeated.

As the defeated civilization, the White Tower Civilization has paid too much, and handed over a batch of Guiding Imprints.

But the Guiding Imprint that she sensed at this moment was not one she crafted!

"Geniuses from a 2.9-level civilization should be befriended, who knows, they might become one of the top figures in the 2.9-level civilization someday, by then..."

The white-dressed woman pondered for a while, then spoke, "Keep an eye on those two new entrants into the Secret Realm, try not to provoke them, but don't bother with the delegation from the victor civilization, if they seek trouble, don't stop them."

...

Inside the White Tower World.

As Lin Qing entered through the world barrier, he found everything before him suddenly transforming, once again stabilizing he appeared in a vast square.

He could see that the ground was covered with materials like white jade, and in the dim sky, there floated a round platform.

"This is..."

Lin Qing observed everything around him.

"This is the Guiding Square." A low voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Qing turned to look.

Only to see a human man with four arms quietly descending from the edge of that large round platform in the sky, two of his arms crossed at his waist and the other two crossed over his chest, observing Lin Qing with an expressionless face.

His aura was clearly that of a Void Creature.

"Everyone entering the White Tower World is first teleported into the Guiding Square's interior, where I register them." He said coldly.

Lin Qing gave him a quick look, saying, "You're not a native of the White Tower World, are you?"

"Is it my turn to ask or yours?"

The four-armed man's eyes were full of coldness, "Which civilization are you from? There's no record of you among this batch of civilization visiting personnel, don't you know that as the defeated party, the White Tower Civilization forbids unauthorized entry? You better confess."

"Defeated party?" Lin Qing raised his eyebrow slightly.

It's said that Second-level Civilization often wages wars in the Void Sea, various Void Secret Realms occasionally connect, forming a War World connecting multiple worlds.

This is a battle between Secret Realm Masters and an opportunity for Second-level Civilizations to reap great benefits.

"My lord."

Suddenly, a woman with four arms dressed in combat uniform also flew down from the top of the round platform above, "The list provided by the White Tower World doesn't match the aura and Imprint of this person."

"Not matched?" The four-armed man squinted his eyes at Lin Qing, "Where are you from? Where did you get the Guiding Imprint?"

"Trying to check me?" Lin Qing laughed, "Go ahead and check."

The four-armed man frowned but felt increasingly suspicious.

A Star-level Divine Officer, accompanied by a Void Creature as a servant, knowing the creature is a Void Creature yet being indifferent, all these behaviors made him inexplicably vigilant.

Suddenly——

The four-armed man had a thought and couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the Tianyuan Constellation? Time-Space Island? Or the Temple of Pantheon?"

Lin Qing glanced at him and casually said, "So what? If I say no, could you go and check me in the Tianyuan Constellation?"

"Really?"

The four-armed man's face changed instantly.

Tianyuan Civilization?

At that moment, he suddenly understood slightly.

No wonder the Secret Realm Master of the White Tower Civilization, as the defeated party, had used the extremely precious Five Star Level agreement, signing various clauses that the defeated side should fulfill, for example, the list of Guiding Imprints must be reviewed and confirmed by the victor.

But now there was someone outside the list, meaning it was likely not from the White Tower Civilization's Guiding Imprint!

Three Great Holy Lands?

The four-armed man shivered upon hearing this.

He immediately stood up and forced a friendly smile, completely devoid of his previous cold and domineering attitude, instead trying to be enthusiastic, "So it's the peerless genius from Tianyuan Civilization, I've heard so much, to see it today, indeed extraordinary."

"So?"

Lin Qing glanced around, saying, "If I'm not from Tianyuan Civilization, or I don't admit it, what do you intend to do? Kill me?"

The four-armed man immediately smiled apologetically, "Of course not, just trying to confirm."

He knew his initial attitude might have displeased this Tianyuan Civilization genius, so he quickly changed the subject, "How should I address you, sir?"

"Jing Guang." Lin Qing casually said.

"Jing Guang?"

The four-armed man understood that this name was clearly just a code, but he knew that geniuses from those three Great Holy Lands, as part of the 2.9-level civilizations, often concealed their identities when traveling.

He didn't intend to ask further, just politely inquired, "Is Mr. Jing Guang here for something specific in the Tianyuan Civilization?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Lin Qing looked at him.

The four-armed man was startled, quickly responded, "Just joking."

Lin Qing didn't say much, just casually stated, "Take me to the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance Branch of this Secret Realm first."

"Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance Branch?" The four-armed man dared not ask much, promptly nodded, "Yes."
