Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

This Villor can actually achieve this step, truly extraordinary.

"Mr Jing Guang, aren't you going to chat more with Villor?"

The young marquis Shan Shui nearby transmitted his voice: "Actually, there's no need to worry about anything; our White Tower Civilization has lost in the civilization wars before, and the Sky Early Civilization has also lost to us many times. It's normal to transfer some resources as the defeated party; it doesn't affect personal relationships, especially since Mr Jing Guang is a Star God."

"We'll see."

Lin Qing casually transmitted his voice: "Aren't those entering the Endless Pool at the same time competitors?"

"For ordinary people, that's the case." The young marquis Shan Shui smiled, "But at Mr Jing Guang's level, he probably doesn't care about the common resources in the Endless Pool; he's certainly eyeing those truly rare treasures, right?"

"I'm just here for contemplation." Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "I just heard the Endless Pool naturally nurtures natural treasures?"

"Yes, the environment formed by the endless energy and matter collapse of the Endless Pool does indeed foster the rare 'Sinking Star.'"

The young marquis Shan Shui said: "But every few million years, the Endless Pool would erupt with a massive number of Sinking Stars, which are indeed precious due to their large quantity, but normally, they're extremely rare inside the Endless Pool. Even if void creatures search tirelessly for thousands of years, finding Sinking Stars worth billions of Void Coins is already quite fortunate."

"Sinking Star?" Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Sinking Star can be used as the main material for Destruction System's Three-Colored Divine Artifact; if the quantity is large enough, its value is indeed impressive.

No wonder the Endless Pool is one of the most important sources of wealth for White Tower Civilization, even considered the most important treasure land.

So, just the quota to enter the Endless Pool requires ten billion Void Coins.

And this isn't even the quota to enter the core area of the Endless Pool; otherwise, it's not something money can buy.

"Of course, the various factions send people here; what they truly value isn't these Sinking Stars." The young marquis Shan Shui said, "But the real treasures within the Endless Pool!"

"Real treasures?" Lin Qing couldn't help but look at him.

The intelligence he bought for five million Void Coins didn't contain detailed information about the Endless Pool.

"The Endless Pool itself is formed by the infinite collapse of energy and matter."

The young marquis Shan Shui, wishing to make good relations with this Star God, patiently explained: "Its existence even tears the membrane wall of the White Tower World and part of the Void Sea, connecting with some 'Destruction Vortex' in the Void Sea."

"Destruction Vortex?" Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Destruction Vortex was one of the natural wonders of the Void Sea, resembling sea whirlpools; once trapped, typically only a Void Dominator has hope of escape.

But even for a Void Dominator, if trapped too deeply, escape becomes difficult; once energy is exhausted, falling is still inevitable.

Is the Endless Pool actually connected to the Destruction Vortex?

"Over the years, countless strong ones have died in the Void Sea, probably even many Void Dominators."

The young marquis Shan Shui said: "The Destruction Vortex constantly absorbs everything in the Void Sea, turning energy and matter into part of the Destruction Vortex, but it never spits out, while the Endless Pool is one of the exits for massive destruction vortex eruptions."

"Exit…" Lin Qing somewhat understood his meaning.

"Mr Jing Guang, think about it; what remains intact after being swallowed by the Destruction Vortex are treasures that even the Destruction Vortex cannot destroy, wouldn't you agree?"

The young marquis Shan Shui sighed: "Most of these treasures remain inside the Endless Pool, and we are actually here to try our luck."

"So that's how it is…" Lin Qing was amazed.

He purely came to contemplate this void wonder of the Endless Pool, aiming for that Void Essence.

Thus, he originally had no interest in Sinking Stars.

However, if there are other valuable treasures, he might develop some interest.

"Anyways, there are ten years; first contemplate the Void Essence, then explore treasures when there's time; just the right time to use the secret technique learned in Celestial Vault Islands…" Lin Qing thought to himself.

Soon, the massive Void Boat had reached the destination—

A dark cyan platform like a cliff.

The bald man with dazzling golden eyes responsible for leading the group let everyone out, then put away the Void Boat, walked to the edge of the cliff looking below, and said: "Explore on your own; below is the Endless Pool, but… without enough strength, it's impossible to explore deeply."

He said no more, immediately transformed into streaming light, flying down the cliff.

With only ten years, no one dared to delay, and immediately each one flew off the cliff.

Lin Qing walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, involuntarily concentrating.

Below the cliff was a dark, pitch-black 'pool.'

Yet upon careful sensing, he could discover the so-called pool was actually formed by the compression and condensation of endless energy and matter, with density reaching an unimaginable degree, so much so that the space became entirely solidified, seemingly completely lifeless.

"Activate." Lin Qing's eyes revealed a strange azure-golden glow deep within.

This was one of the special secret techniques learned in the upper layers of the Celestial Vault Islands, the 'Miracle Fate,' which was stronger in terms of specialty than the Unification Technique.

Using this secret technique, he could see the 'good luck and bad luck' in a certain range of environment.

This secret technique originally required someone with great fortune, someone favored by the universe, to possibly succeed in cultivation; he relied on Entropy to forcefully cultivate it.

Simply put, as long as he activated this 'Miracle Fate' secret technique, he could see where luck would manifest more beneficially or disastrously, enabling better path choices, suitable for maze-like places.

"There, right?"

At this moment, on the surface of the deep-dark Endless Pool in Lin Qing's eyes, it seemed shrouded in a layer of hazy golden light, only some places were faint, others dense.

However, he didn't rush down: "First contemplate the Void Essence."

"Mr Jing Guang, would you like to join in?"

At this point, Villor approached him, politely saying: "If there's a discovery, Lin Qing can choose first, how about it?"

"No need, I'm just here for contemplation." Lin Qing shook his head slightly, then sat cross-legged by the cliff.

"Contemplation?" Villor was a little surprised, then nodded: "Indeed, someone of Mr Jing Guang's status wouldn't lack in treasures, then I'll head down first."

He said no more, with a group of void creature subordinates, he flew into the Endless Pool below, breaking through the immensely heavy pool water to begin deeper exploration.

The young marquis Shan Shui also said: "Mr Jing Guang, as instructed by my father, I'll head down too."

In no time, forty-nine of the fifty people entered the Endless Pool, leaving only Lin Qing sitting quietly at the cliff edge, watching the dark, deep pool below.

"Start sensing from the outer layer, get familiar before going in."

Lin Qing thought to himself, then began contemplating.

Meanwhile, the Black Flame Clone far away in the Vacuum Tomb Cultivation Room, relying on the Gate of Eternity, inside the cultivation room formed the Blood Cauldron King Avatar.

Then, the Black Flame Clone started burning itself to enhance comprehension, while the Blood Cauldron King Avatar began to contemplate analyzing the space fluctuations sensed by Lin Qing, gradually analyzing the space mysteries within.

"Once the overall cognitive understanding of this Void Essence is determined, the complete road can be preemptively…"

Lin Qing carefully sensed and contemplated the Void Essence inherent in the Endless Pool itself.

The cultivation conditions here might not match the Mirror Image World during the Star Divine Trial, but it's still quite good.

Compared to other treasures, the most important thing now is achieving Void Creature status.

Once he becomes a Void Creature, Earth can evolve into a second-level civilization!

By then, as Secret Realm Master, it'll be akin to integrating with origins, allowing closer sense of space rules, making the comprehension of space mysteries much simpler!

Many Secret Realm Masters can evolve into Void Dominators, indicating the significant help of integrating with origins.

This step is crucial.

Any other treasures can be delayed; once transformed into a Void Creature, after strength increases again, opportunities will abound.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

Deep within the dark, profound pool water, terrifying pressure surged from all sides, and Lin Qing's body had a layer of bloody cauldron virtual shadow enveloping him, easily dispelling the pressure brought by the pool water.

This was already at a depth of 5.7 million kilometers within the Endless Pool. The pressure in the pool water was so immense that even Void Creatures who self-create Single Phase Divine Skills couldn't withstand it.

By his own strength alone he couldn't withstand it, but the Blood Cauldron King Avatar activating the Defense Divine Artifact allowed for easy resistance.

Lin Qing paid no attention to the changes in the pool water, merely drifting with the dark currents, carefully sensing the strange spatial changes, attempting to recognize the Void Essence that caused all to collapse and condense.

Suddenly—

Lin Qing opened his eyes, a faint premonition emerged within his heart.

"Order."

He called out the Entropy panel, unable to suppress a smile.

This Void Essence, he's already seen the path ahead clearly, crossed the threshold, and can already preemptively act.
