88: Chapter 88 Cultivation Technique

Buzz—!

A low, heavy tremor resounded from within Lin Ye's body, and the divine kingdom hidden deep within his sea of consciousness shook violently. Streamers of light surged across the entire sky of his divine kingdom as thousands of law patterns lit up layer by layer, weaving and solidifying.

The laws of his divine kingdom, which had been in disarray and eroded by baleful aura year-round, had all their tiny cracks completely smoothed out under the nourishment of a massive amount of top-tier resources. The chaotic Dao patterns returned to order and became firmly stabilized. The originally restless and violent aura of the divine kingdom shed its impetuousness, becoming incredibly heavy, steady, and condensed.

But at the same time, the massive amount of high-grade resources frantically nourished the entire heaven and earth of the divine kingdom, causing this innate Shaling Divine Kingdom to undergo a qualitative change.

The concentration of Shaling energy drifting between heaven and earth climbed frantically, becoming several times denser than before. Dark red streamers of light churned across the sky of the divine kingdom, and its baleful aura foundation surged by leaps and bounds.

Along with the surging concentration of Shaling energy, the speed at which the baleful aura infected his clansmen and his own soul also increased drastically, far exceeding the previous rate. Contamination, erosion, and attachment were happening rapidly almost every single moment.

Fortunately, the purification mechanism of the Jinghun Hall was operating at full speed at all times. Its purification efficiency still firmly suppressed the speed of the baleful aura's infection. Even though the infection had accelerated and the concentration had doubled, it could still wash away the impure baleful aura on the surface of his soul at all times, maintaining a perfect dynamic balance.

Only then did Lin Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

What followed was a frantic expansion of his territory!

The initial ninety-nine square kilometers of his divine kingdom's territory rapidly expanded, spread, and widened—one hundred, one thousand, two thousand five hundred... the territorial values constantly broke through their upper limits.

After an unknown amount of time, the rapid expansion finally stopped, ultimately freezing at a solid three thousand square kilometers!

Not only did his territory surge, but the overall load-bearing capacity of the divine kingdom underwent a leapfrog transformation, directly multiplying by more than tenfold!

At this moment, Lin Ye's divine kingdom had stable laws, a vast territory, an extremely elevated load-bearing capacity, and a doubled Shaling foundation. This completely eradicated his previous shortcomings, where having too many clansmen would cause restlessness and disorder, and high-grade cards could not be deployed.

The current divine kingdom was enough to easily accommodate ten types of high-grade clansmen and bear all top-tier divine kingdom resources and secret cards, completely clearing all future growth bottlenecks. At the same time, relying on the perfect balance of the Jinghun Hall, he obtained both the nourishment of top-tier combat power and absolute soul stability.

After a long while, Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes. The depths of his pupils were dark and clear, without a single trace of bloodlust or violence left, leaving only a steady and deep light. In his heart, he had already clearly perceived the all-around transformation of his divine kingdom and the balance of its advantages and disadvantages.

Almost at the same time, the three of them finished the transformation of their divine kingdoms and opened their eyes one after another, ending this resource infusion cultivation session.

A vibrant luster flashed in both Bai Ruoxue's and Xiao Qingwu's eyes. Having received the blessing of the military's top-tier resources, their divine kingdoms now had stable laws and expanded territories. Their overall foundations were several times richer than before, and their auras had become significantly steadier.

Lin Ye turned his head slightly, quietly sensing the foundations of the two girls' divine kingdoms with a hint of curiosity. With a little probing, he figured out their approximate territorial scales.

Having received the resource boost from this tournament, the areas of their divine kingdoms had both stabilized at around 2,600 to 2,800 square kilometers. Their load-bearing capacities and law stability had also increased significantly, making them top-tier among their peers.

Learning the results, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly subconsciously, and a faint trace of pride crossed his heart.

Even for the two top geniuses of Quanzhou, after doing their utmost to transform, their divine kingdoms' territories were still a cut below his. With a divine kingdom territory of three thousand square kilometers and an extremely high load-bearing capacity that had surged tenfold, he ultimately stood above everyone else at this moment.

Calming the slight pride in his heart, Lin Ye suddenly remembered an important matter that had been weighing on his mind for a long time. Tucking away his expression, he turned to look at the Military District officer who was standing guard outside and asked solemnly.

"Hello, Squad Leader. I would like to ask if the military merits left behind by my parents can be redeemed here at the Military District?"

He had already made up his mind. Since he had come to the Military District today and unlocked all the top opportunities from the tournament, he might as well use up all his rewards at once, leaving no loose ends or hidden dangers.

Not only did he want to activate the time-flow cards, clansmen cards, and Heaven-grade cultivation methods, but he also planned to use all the military merits left by his parents to redeem additional rare resources. This would allow him to targetedly upgrade the bloodline ranks of his remaining types of clansmen, patching up the final shortcomings of his entire clansman system.

Hearing this, the high-ranking officer nodded slightly. With a fair and solemn attitude, he replied in a deep voice, "Of course you can. Military merits left behind by martyrs can be redeemed in any Military District! However, you still have to select your cultivation methods or martial techniques from this league. Once you've finished choosing your cultivation methods and martial techniques, I will take you to the Military Merit Redemption Office to make the exchange."

Having received an affirmative answer, Lin Ye's heart completely settled.

Led by the officer, the three of them then left the barrier cultivation area, passing through layers of sentries and numerous restrictions, finally arriving at a heavily guarded, ancient pavilion.

This was the core Library Pavilion of the Military District. Its outer walls were covered with sealing arrays, and it was heavily guarded by soldiers. Ordinary soldiers could never approach it in their entire lives; only the top geniuses of the Federation and meritorious soldiers were qualified to enter and choose inheritances. The pavilion housed countless high-grade martial techniques and origin cultivation methods, with grades covering Earth-grade, Heaven-grade, and even some incomplete Desolate-grade inheritances.

The three entered the pavilion one by one, dispersing to choose the cultivation method inheritances that suited their respective paths.

Lin Ye stopped in front of rows of cultivation method jade slips, patiently browsing and screening them. After spending over half an hour, he finally locked onto a high-grade cultivation method that perfectly matched his clansman system—the Nine Refinements Blood Fiend Scripture.

This cultivation method was extremely special. It did not cultivate the soul, the holy light, or the path of ice. Instead, it was specifically suited for extremely violent environments. It could rely on the extreme aura field within the divine kingdom to repeatedly temper the physical bodies, vitality origins, and bloodline limits of beast-type clansmen. It gradually purified their bloodlines and tempered their physiques, perfectly matching the growth needs of physical combat-type clansmen like the Shahun Hounds and Demon Pythons. It was currently the top cultivation method best suited to reinforce his remaining clansmen.

Having chosen the cultivation method, Lin Ye held the jade slip and turned to walk out of the Library Pavilion. Just as he was about to carefully study the profound mysteries of the cultivation method, he was stopped on the spot by the dedicated cultivator guarding the entrance, who informed him of the strict rules for using this cultivation method.

"Young friend, the Nine Refinements Blood Fiend Scripture is a restricted high-grade cultivation method of the Military District with an extremely high threshold. It requires your clansmen's constitution to reach one hundred and their vitality foundation to meet the standard before they can cultivate it. If they try to force its activation without a standard physique, their vitality will instantly shatter, and their bodies will explode, resulting in death from body implosion."

"The standard adaptation threshold for this cultivation method is that clansmen can only safely cultivate it after ascending to the true god realm, with no risk of body explosion. Before the true god realm, it is strictly forbidden to privately attempt to comprehend or run it."

"Furthermore, there is an explicit ironclad rule: this cultivation method is a top-secret inheritance of the Military District. Private copying, external dissemination, and unauthorized teaching to others are strictly forbidden. Violators will be executed without mercy."

The strict rules fell into place one by one, eliminating any possibility of luck or violation.

Hearing this, Lin Ye nodded in understanding, feeling no disappointment in his heart.

The higher the threshold, the stronger the upper limit of the cultivation method. Although they could not cultivate it for the time being, as long as his clansmen broke through to the true god realm in the future, they could use this cultivation method to complete the ultimate transformation of their bloodlines and physical bodies.
