Chapter 157: Elite-Level +1+1+1 (3K) _1
Translator: 549690339
Mu Yuan was in a good mood as he stepped out of the light gate, which seemed like a water curtain, and into the bright sunlight.
“God shine crystal prism.”
With this batch of treasures, and the Perfect Breakthrough Stones previously sponsored by Rich Lady Hanyue, the quantity of elite levels in the Tianyuan territory will soon make a significant breakthrough.
As it was still early and the exploration team had not returned, he left the trivial tasks to Isloa and went to the Cultivation Quiet Room, the Tian Character No. 1 VIP room, and entered.
The character ‘quiet’, vividly placed before one’s eyes, along with the lingering fragrance of sandalwood was calming to the spirit.
In a moment, Mu Yuan’s joy, happiness, laziness, and irritability seemed to be cast to the ends of the heavens. His emotions came to resemble a peaceful lake, with not a ripple stirred.
Such poise truly befits a sage.
“The day is clear and sunny. It’s a good time for a breakthrough.”
He murmured.
The top-ranked after Dead Bone and Duo Lai in Tianyuan territory was not Bone Two, Bone Three, Jun or others who had been the earliest to breakthrough, but it was him, Great Lord Shepherd!
It wasn’t that he used more resources. On the contrary, he used very few cultivation materials on himself on a daily basis, merely absorbing soul sand using the Duo Lai template. His cultivation speed might not even compare to that of Tree Demon Granny, Rakshasa, and other generals who benefited from the building supporting the soldiers.
But, he was the Lord.
The Lord benefited a little from the upgrade of the soldiers. The feedback wasn’t much, particularly when Mr. Mu himself was already strong; this made it seem less pronounced. However, with the accumulation over time, the advantage of the Lord still stood out.
There was a very noticeable rule in the Lord’s world:
At the beginning, most Lords were weak, with only a very few top second – generation possesses impressive combat strength. But in the later stages, each Lord became an elite.
Mu Yuan quickly absorbed the power of God Shine Crystal Prism as his emotions settled.
One piece, then two.
His body, spirit, and energy were visibly growing at a rapid pace, quickly reaching the critical point, the ‘overflowing’ status.
Mu Yuan took out a Perfect Breakthrough Stone.
He did not load any templates, but only relied on his own strong foundation to gather the energy in his body time and again, resonating with the Perfect Breakthrough Stone in his hand.
Vibration—
The breakthrough stone shattered and a formless force integrated into his body. In the blink of an eye, it was as if Mr. Mu had taken a hormone, and his body was filled with infinite strength which propelled him to heights that previously seemed insurmountable.
After a moment,
His muscles and bones resonate together, and his entire body undergoes a rapid transformation, assisted by the pure power of the breakthrough stone, metamorphosing into perfection and reaching new heights.
He stripped off his clothes to reveal perfect and uniform abdominal muscles.
With a mere thought, energy surged out, attaching to the clothes and continually weaving to form a formidable armored suit.
In a moment, it disassembled and then reshaped before disassembling again.
One couldn’t be more proficient.
Mu Yuan was already capable of this technique, but it used to be more laborious. After the breakthrough, however, it becomes incredibly easy, as if his CPU had been upgraded.
He fixed his hair, exited the cultivation room, and his energy quickly receded due to the slight spillover caused by the breakthrough.
At night, the generals who were out exploring all returned one by one.
Those who didn’t go out like Lu Liu and Isloa, also ended their busy day.
Oh, not Isloa, she had a large workload and adhered to flexible working hours.
It appeared she was not yet finished with her work.
Boss Mu still gave her a break, after all, when night fell, it was time for cultivation. If one did not cultivate for a day or two, over time they would fall behind others.
“We have a cultivation room in our territory. You can select a room number you like to practice in. As for cultivation resources, you can collect them once a week. Here are also 5 God shine crystal prisms, which you’ve never used before?”
“I’ve never used them before.”
The normal use of God shine crystal prisms is 5 pieces. If one exceeds this number, the effectiveness will diminish.
The erudite Isloa naturally knew this.
But even if she had never used this kind of treasure, she still felt that she was too extravagant, “I am now at the second stage 7 level, I can’t level up even if I use them all. It’s better to give them to others.”
“The other generals in Tianyuan territory won’t lack these. I have told them to strive for elite level. As soon as they breakthrough, I’ll start the ‘Time Maze City’ mission, in these few days.
“So, you can just concentrate on your work and cultivation.”
“So soon?”
Isloa was surprised, but also had a look of anticipation.
With the strength of General Duo Lai, and…
The ‘Boss Dead Bone’, who had never met before but was acknowledged as the number one in Tianyuan, it did not seem impossible to delve into Trick City.
And it seems that new elite-level powerhouses are about to emerge in the territory?
The Lord is pretty steady.
At present, the highest level in Tianyuan territory are Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four.
All of them are ‘Skeleton Generals’ of Three-star excellence, who had an early breakthrough and enjoyed the aid of Skeleton Cemetery’s enhancement all the time. They had long cultivated to the first stage 9 level, but not yet completely there.
Just taking in a little bit of the God Shine Crystal Prism would end with a breakthrough.
A little below that, those at level 8, were Rakshasa, Hong Yi, Lu Liu, Seventeen, Jun and others.
Except for Jun, the others all have the potential of three-star excellence. Their potentials were high, the cultivation speed was fast, and the breakthroughs were easy.
They indeed used 1-3 God Shine Crystal Prisms, but Mu Yuan planned to prepare a more luxurious cultivation package for everyone.
The effectiveness decreases if more than 5 are used?
It doesn’t matter; he has plenty of God Shine Crystal Prisms!
Compared to them, Tree Demon Granny only just entered the first stage 7 level and regardless of how much she was cultivated, she wouldn’t be able to make a major breakthrough in a short period of time.
This battle would have no chance of happening.
Lord Shepherd had no plans to venture out during this period, choosing instead to stay safely at home. He hadn’t forgotten, he had made quite a splash at the Festival Grounds, and was likely in the sights of certain big shots.
Only being indoors, within his own territory did he feel a sense of safety.
Night.
The moon shone brightly overhead, casting its soft white light down.
Rumor had it, the moon of the Eternal World possessed unimaginable power, but at the moment, it seemed no different from the moon back on Lanxing.
The Skeleton Cemetery, however, was shrouded in black mist, obscuring the moonlight.
Under General Dead Bone’s watch, Second Brother Bone, Bone Three Wave, and Nigu Lasi began their breakthroughs one after another.
Powerful forces emerged within the cemetery.
They stirred and attracted the surrounding black mist to surge and gather, soul crystals shattered one by one, transforming into a visible tide of energy that enveloped the skeletons.
In the blink of an eye, figures such as Second Brother Bone crossed into the realm of the elites.
“Hehhehheh heh ”
Second Brother Bone burst out laughing, feeling an immense sense of invincibility.
In the very next moment, he was silenced by Boss Dead Bone, who had suddenly appeared before him and knocked his skull with a ‘bang’.
Seeing Bone Two and Bone Three—who showed no hint of inheriting the stable spirit of the territory—Boss Dead Bone let out a deep sigh. He would need to instill more stability to balance things out.
The next day,
Lu Liu, Seventeen, Rakshasa, and Hong Yi, who were slightly behind, also successfully broke through one after another.
Only Jun seemed to be having a hard time.
He was of only one-star Excellence Stage—after all, the other hawks also needed to evolve, and he was not a combatant of the territory, his evolution order was not high. The lower his stage, the slower his cultivation speed. Moreover, without the buffs from the Skeleton Cemetery and Treeman Forest, coupled with the fact that Cultivation Quiet Room was too cramped for the Azure Bird like him, Jun did not like to squeeze in.
With so many factors against him, even though Jun was one of the first subordinates to break through to the professional level, he has now fallen to be among the third echelon.
Jun was sorrowful.
He looked at Lord Shepherd with a bitter gaze.
Mu Yuan stroked his azure feathers, which felt like a gentle breeze, “Next time for sure.”
As a result, the line-up: Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Isloa, himself, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Three-skeletal now unbelievably consisted of eleven elite-level strongmen!
And each one was a strongman among the elites.
Even Bone Two, taking on a powerful foe at the higher end of the elite level, would not be a problem.
Such a force, even outside the newcomer circle, was not bad at all.
However, the Tianyuan Territory remained a village-level territory.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Mu Yuan stepped outside.
The wind brought with it the fresh scent of grass and trees from the courtyard, along with fresh air. It was another beautiful day.
In the distance inside the large hall used for working, lights were still on, and several figures were vaguely visible busily moving back and forth, piles of documents keep stacking one on top of another.
“Good morning.”
“Good day, my Lord.”
Perhaps because she was sleeping better now, even if Isloa only got three or four, two or three hours of sleep, or even replaced sleep with cultivation altogether, her face was still rosy, and she was full of energy. She could work tirelessly.
This is what you call having the competent undertake more work.
“Lord, I have some issues with the formation of the trading team and the exploration of the Pan Shi City route that I want to discuss with you.”
She lifted her head slightly to look at the Lord.
“The route exploration… it’s not a problem, I’ll handle it.”
He would let Jun handle it. Searching for Pan Shi City from a bird’s eye view was undoubtedly the quickest and most convenient way. Furthermore, the fog inside the Tai Xuan Alliance was not as heavy as the outside.
However, Lord Shepherd was not the kind to shirkhis responsibilities, he needed to control the entire process. If Jun flies too close and is mistaken as a monster by Pan Shi City and shot down, it wouldn’t be a good look.
“As for the formation of the trading team, regarding the personnel issue…”
Mu Yuan signaled with his eyes.
Leave it all to you.
This was an immense show of trust.
Isloa’s cherry lips opened slightly, she started to speak, hesitated, then finally said, “… I understand, I will figure out a way to form the trading team.”
Although the personnel issue was tricky.
But with the Lord’s trust and the solution to another problem, what could she say?
All she could do now was figure out a way.
With so many strongmen in the Tianyuan Territory, the only way for her to become one of the Lord’s right-hand individuals was to work hard in other areas.
Let’s do it.
Suddenly, Isloa’s self-made earring on her left ear started to tremble.
At the same time, the tip of the Domain Interferer located two hundred meters away began to flash and emit a deep humming sound similar to that of a buzzing bee.
Hum
Hum
Hum
With a serious expression, Isloa said: “My Lord, there are enemies attempting to divine and spy on our territory.”
It looks like the day has finally arrived!
