Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"This is..."

In the endless, dark and deep pool, Lin Qing reached out and grabbed a palm-sized, square hard object, on which he could feel special patterns and dents.

With the help of the Blood Cauldron King Avatar's divine artifact, he had endured the pressure of the Endless Pool for more than a year, following this newly discovered 'Lucky Path' to dive all the way to a depth of more than four million kilometers.

The result? Getting this unknown thing?

"Take it up and have a look."

Lin Qing looked around with Miracle Fate and didn't find any particularly lucky guidance.

However, when searching for this newly obtained thing, the Lucky Golden Light was extremely intense and dense, obviously not an ordinary treasure.

"Could it also be a high-level divine artifact?"

In the environment of this bottomless pool, all perception was extremely fuzzy, and he could only wait until he went up to check.

After another year, Lin Qing broke through the water, returning to the cliff above the Endless Pool, while storing the item he always held in his hand into the Inner Void.

At this time, only one person was waiting on the cliff.

After all, there was still over a month before this exploration would end, and most people didn't want to waste time, at most exploring until the last moment, being teleported out by the Secret Realm Master.

"Mr Jing Guang is not continuing the exploration?"

The blue-robed man on the cliff quietly cultivating spoke slightly respectfully, trying to forge a closer connection.

Lin Qing nodded slightly, without saying much.

His thoughts were probing the item he had just stored into the Inner Void.

"This is... a token?"

It was a light golden metal plate, with visible strange patterns and engravings on it, with two unknown characters in the center.

Though Lin Qing didn't understand these characters, he immediately grasped that they meant 'King' as soon as he saw them.

"King?" Lin Qing was somewhat puzzled.

He could see that this thing was neither a divine artifact nor a material.

And...

It seemed to be only half?

"What is this thing?"

Lin Qing tried infusing energy through the Blood Cauldron King Avatar, the metal plate engraved with the word 'King' seemed like a bottomless pit constantly absorbing his energy, yet it remained unchanged.

After a few days, after this metal plate had absorbed countless large amounts of energy, the Blood Cauldron King Avatar noticed a slight change in this metal plate.

The end of the many engraved patterns on the surface of the metal plate finally revealed a faint light.

With more energy infusion, the faint light slowly spread and expanded along the engravings.

"Heavens..."

Lin Qing was somewhat shocked, "The amount of energy needed to saturate this metal plate is overwhelming..."

Approximate estimation, maintaining energy consumption equal to restoration, it would take many years.

And it must be space energy.

"Take it slow, fill it up and talk then."

Lin Qing wasn't in a rush, anyhow he planned to return and go into secluded cultivation, create divine skills, and wait for Earth to develop enough Power Awakened individuals, accumulate 380 billion tons of Starry Sky Source Stones, and open up the Void Secret Realm.

Time passed day by day.

The vast majority of explorers didn't come up, obviously wanting to wait until the last moment and get teleported out by the Secret Realm Master.

In the blink of an eye, it was the ten-year deadline.

"Buzz..."

Space suddenly twisted, and figures were seen being teleported to appear on the cliff platform.

Most explorers looked somewhat unwilling, only very few were delighted and satisfied.

Among them, the first heir of the Tianze Group, Villor, also appeared with a blonde-masked woman, still calm in appearance.

"In just ten years, it's natural not to find the Proof of the King." Villor calmly transmitted, "Anyway, buying a ticket through internal connections also only costs six billion Void Coins, at most selling some treasure to finance it, spending tens of thousands of years here is worth it."

"However, this would delay the young master's transformation into Void Creatures." The blonde-masked woman transmitted.

"No problem, that Flame Demon Emperor inheritance in the King Relics is only eligible for the Star Creatures to participate in the trial." Villor transmitted, "Compared to such great benefits, breaking through a few tens of thousands of years later doesn't matter, moreover... huh?"

He suddenly froze, turned a hand taking out a slightly trembling silver token, looked both surprised and happy, and transmitted, "Proof of the King is nearby!"

"Nearby?"

The blonde-masked woman was also stunned, "Could an explorer have discovered the Proof of the King?"

Villor immediately followed the invisible attraction, his gaze instantly locking on the target possessing the Proof of the King, making him freeze.

"This... happens to be that Holy Land's Star God, Jing Guang?"

He couldn't help but slightly frown, "Troublesome..."

The blonde-masked woman was also slightly stunned, then transmitted somewhat lowly, "Young master, should we..."

"...Don't rush."

Villor took a deep breath, "Perhaps we can buy it from him, at most cooperate and share, anyhow... unless absolutely necessary, no need to feud with him. We are to cooperate with that powerful figure of the Tianyuan Civilization, and Jing Guang is also suspected to be from Tianyuan Civilization, once offending him and tearing faces, that would be truly troublesome."

The blonde-masked woman frowned, "He's from the Holy Land, might recognize it's a pass for the King Relics?"

"Not necessarily." Villor transmitted gravely, "He was just a Star Creature before, even a Star God, his birth time may not be long, at most a few tens of thousands of years, unlikely to know about the King Relics."
