Chapter 260: 147, Metamorphosis, Divine Position 5
“After mastering ‘Heart Abyss Nine-Nine,’ the success rate will be even higher,” Lin Qing nodded to himself in thought.
The higher the success rate could naturally be, the higher it would be raised.
93.4% was already high, but it hadn’t reached his limit yet.
“Fortunately, ‘Telekinesis Secret Technique’ places more emphasis on consciousness and is faster to recover than ‘Combat Skill.'”
Lin Qing was not in a rush. “I estimate that by mid-September, I’ll have fully repaid ‘Nihility Sees God’; it would be best to also clear ‘True Self,’ leaving a pre-emptive slot open for trials, just in case.”
Even though no matter how special and complicated the ability, it would eventually integrate into part of the ‘Star Sky Divine Office,’ whether sooner or later, increasing the success rate was more important.
After all, it was only August now, and there were still a few months left until the end of the year for the ‘Earth Treasure,’ which was ample time.
In fact, this was already faster than he had originally anticipated.
If it weren’t for ‘Black Flame,’ he felt he would have to wait until the next ‘Earth Treasure’ opening.
In the blink of an eye, October arrived.
On October 7, Lin Qing once again visited the ‘Inspection Headquarters.’
‘Inspection Headquarters’ building.
“You’re going to attempt the ‘Divine Position Trial’?”
Inside the Upper Minister’s office, Xu Shaofeng, the Upper Minister, looked at Lin Qing in surprise and couldn’t help asking, “So soon? Are you sure you don’t want to prepare a bit more?”
“Minister Xu, I’ve basically reached my limit,” Lin Qing shook his head slightly, “Delaying it won’t bring any improvement.”
He didn’t explain much more, merely thinking to himself.
An invisible, faint ‘Light Domain’ quietly spread out, covering the office and shrouding Xu Shaofeng as well.
Xu Shaofeng stared at Lin Qing in shock, almost in disbelief, “This is…”
He too was an ‘Original Life,’ naturally able to feel the power of this ‘Domain’; although not as strong as the ‘Domain’ of an ‘Original Life,’ the fact that an ‘Awakened Being’ could master a ‘Domain’ was shocking enough.
This meant that Lin Qing had actually developed the core ability ‘Domain’ of the ‘Heavenly Orb Monarch Bloodline’ ‘Fifth Energy Level’!
This was an even greater shock than ‘Instantaneous Light’ had been to him.
The genetic ability of the ‘Sky Track Monarch’ was something that would continue to improve with strength, while the ‘Domain’ limit of an ‘Original Life’ was the ‘Fifth Energy Level.’
“Yes, it’s a ‘Domain’ I’ve just developed,” Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Of course, the domain power he had just shown was merely the strength of his ‘Domain’ when he first awakened half a year ago.
In reality, it was only a fraction of the full power he could exert now.
Once ‘Black Flame Burning’ was initiated, and he exerted full effort, even Xu Shaofeng wouldn’t be able to use his ‘Domain,’ only to be suppressed by him.
Of course, he himself hadn’t even obtained the ‘Basic Divine Position’ and was not an ‘Original Life’; even if he could suppress Xu Shaofeng with his ‘Domain,’ he certainly wouldn’t be Xu Shaofeng’s match.
The basic difference was just too great; it was merely the increase in the power of the ‘Domain’ due to the use of ‘Black Flame Burning.’
Xu Shaofeng took a deep breath, looking at Lin Qing with excited and gratified eyes. “I knew I hadn’t misjudged you.”
“The end of the year is approaching.”
Lin Qing said, “Minister Xu, I want to pass the ‘Divine Position Trial’ early. How long will it take approximately?”
Xu Shaofeng pondered for a moment and then said, “All three Forbidden Areas are monitored by the ‘Intelligent Star Group,’ and it will probably take a day or two to get the application approved.”
“Alright, then I’ll stay at headquarters for these two days,” Lin Qing remarked.
Xu Shaofeng nodded and then added, “But you still need to be careful; the twenty-four families have been watching the ‘Inspection Headquarters’ lately, and they will also threaten and tempt those who have the opportunity to become ‘Inspectors.’ Make sure you don’t reveal your true strength, otherwise, the ‘Intelligent Star Group’ will surely force you into signing a mandatory contract.”
“The twenty-four families?” Lin Qing inquired, “Lackeys of the ‘Intelligent Star Group’? I’m not too familiar with which families are amongst the twenty-four.”
Xu Shaofeng replied, “Currently, those eyeing the ‘Inspection Headquarters’ are the Yuan family, the Rock Family, and the Yan Family from the Top Three Families.”
“The Top Three Families?” Lin Qing questioned.
“Right,” Xu Shaofeng responded. “While the twenty-four families are powerful, twenty-one of them are just borrowing a tiger’s fierceness. The power of any one of these twenty-one families is probably comparable to that of the ‘Inspection Headquarters.'”
“However, the Top Three Families are different; the Yan Family, the Gongsun Family, and the Rodris Family are among the Top Three Families.”
He spoke gravely, “These three families all have top-tier fighters who have acquired the ‘Original-level Divine Position,’ and they rose to prominence during the apocalyptic era. For instance, Yan Qingqing of the Yan Family, Gongsun Jie of the Gongsun Family, and the Mad Lion of the Rodris Family hold certain positions within the Intelligent Star Group, second only to forces like the ‘Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall,’ the ‘Dawn Group,’ and the ‘Star Patrol Council.'”
Lin Qing was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “Minister Xu mentioned earlier… The Yan Family? Yan Qingqing? They rose during the apocalyptic era?”
“Yes,” Xu Shaofeng nodded slightly, puzzled. “Why? Have you heard of them?”
