Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 164: Soaring to the Heavens in One Step

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Soaring to the Heavens in One Step

The events that followed were quite simple.

Zuo Ling gained control over the entire Secret Realm. Without alarming the other cultivators, he quietly entered each palace within the Secret Realm and looted all the remaining treasures inside.

Unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years, many Elixirs and Spirit Medicines had lost their efficacy, and even some ordinary Divine Soldiers had turned to dust.

Even so, Zuo Ling’s harvest was substantial.

He exchanged all the treasures that he couldn’t use himself for Contribution Points and immediately sacrificed the two inheritances he obtained from Jing Shen Palace to the Divine Kingdom chat group.

After all, although Sacrifices are made, Zuo Ling can still cultivate the techniques himself, he just cannot pass them on to another person.

Once everything was completely sacrificed, Zuo Ling looked at all of his current Contribution Points, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

...

Name: Zuo Ling

Essence: Human

Rank: Five-stage Inferior

Constitution:

Contribution: 1003000056010

...

"One trillion!"

Zuo Ling counted repeatedly, finally confirming exactly how many Contribution Points he possessed now.

One trillion Contribution Points!

More precisely, it is one trillion and thirty billion Contribution Points!

"When the seven-stage store opens, with one trillion Contribution Points, breaking into the pinnacle of the Saint wouldn’t be an issue, would it?"

Zuo Ling took a few deep breaths, the shock and joy on his face were difficult to completely suppress.

One trillion Contribution Points.

What a transformation.

Even if he immediately elevated himself to the pinnacle of the six-stage, it wouldn’t use up a hundred billion Contribution Points at most.

One trillion Contribution Points, enough for Zuo Ling’s strength to soar.

In this one trillion and thirty billion Contribution Points, one trillion came from the inheritance of Jing Shen Palace, two eighth-tier top-grade Secret Techniques.

Such powerful techniques, any one of them could directly point to the pinnacle of the Quasi-Emperor, an unparalleled inheritance of Jing Shen Palace.

The remaining thirty billion Contribution Points were from other treasures Zuo Ling obtained within Jing Shen Palace.

After all, the Secret Realm had been open for some time, with many of its palace restrictions breached by cultivators and its treasures looted.

Plus, Zuo Ling did not sacrifice all the treasures entirely, still keeping some for other purposes.

Otherwise.

If they had all been sacrificed, Zuo Ling could expect his Contribution to soar further based on its original foundation.

In Zuo Ling’s Dantian, there now quietly lay a Divine Sword, constantly exuding an exceedingly powerful Sword Qi, quietly tempering the Dantian and his constitution and blood.

This Divine Sword was none other than the once Quasi-Emperor Supreme Treasure of Jing Shen Palace: the Divine Emperor Sword!

However, with Zuo Ling’s current strength, he had no way to truly wield the Divine Emperor Sword for the time being. Given the awe-inspiring power of a Quasi-Emperor Supreme Treasure, there must be profound cultivation as a basis to activate it.

After sacrificing all that could be sacrificed, Zuo Ling did not immediately leave the Secret Realm but found a safe place to enter the Divine Kingdom store and exchange for the appropriate Realm-Breaking Pill, aiming to elevate his cultivation to a higher level.

...

Half a year passed.

A powerful aura exploded from within a certain palace, Zuo Ling’s momentum was like a rainbow, his face unable to hide a smile. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Six-stage True Monarch Pinnacle!"

"So this is the mighty power of the six-stage!"

Feeling the surging energy and blood within, Zuo Ling was somewhat fascinated by such power.

Having cultivated the eighth-tier top-grade Secret Technique, the Shocking God Dao Scripture, and bearing Quasi-Emperor bloodline, Zuo Ling was confident that among the six-stage True Monarch Pinnacle powerhouses, he belonged to the powerful group.

A few days ago, when he entered the Quasi-Emperor Secret Realm, he was only a small four-stage cultivator. Now, half a year later, tremendous changes had occurred.

In the past six months, Zuo Ling had focused on cultivating the Secret Techniques of Jing Shen Palace.

Although the Realm-Breaking Pill could directly break through, it merely crossed the current boundary’s threshold. The corresponding cultivation must reach the extreme of the current realm before using the Realm-Breaking Pill to break through.

Therefore.

This past half year, Zuo Ling not only consumed the Realm-Breaking Pill but also had to exchange for other Elixirs to assist in cultivation. Plus, the Quasi-Emperor technique was profoundly mysterious, making it challenging to comprehend.

Because of this.

Even with a trillion Contribution Points as the foundation, Zuo Ling still took half a year to break through.

Nevertheless, his current cultivation was considered to have stepped into the pinnacle of the six-stage True Monarch, belonging to the top tier in the current Immortal Extinction Realm.

"I wonder, compared with those Divine Bodies, who is stronger?"

A hint of battle intent emerged in Zuo Ling’s eyes, but he quickly restrained it.

Don’t get carried away!

Although he now had the protection of a Quasi-Emperor Supreme Treasure and stepped into the pinnacle of the six-stage True Monarch, his strength was among the top in the current Ancient Wilderness.

Who knows if other top forces harbor threats against him?

Especially the Great Sun Sacred Land that wiped out the entire Jing Shen Palace then. If they knew he inherited the bloodline of Jing Shen Palace and also obtained its inheritance, they wouldn’t let him go.

Nevertheless.

Though it is so.

With such skyrocketing strength, Zuo Ling no longer feared the Great Sun Sacred Land. Now he only needed to wait for the Divine Kingdom store to open the seventh stage, or for the Golden Era to begin, to have a chance to be the first to advance to the seventh stage Saint realm.

If he becomes a Saint, Zuo Ling’s strength will surely skyrocket again.

By then.

Facing a Great Sun Sacred Land without a Great Emperor’s backing, Zuo Ling had the confidence to challenge them.

"The Secret Realm now has little to offer, it’s time to leave!"

Having broken through to the pinnacle of the six-stage True Monarch and acquired all inheritances, there was no longer any reason to stay. As Zuo Ling’s thoughts fell, all cultivators within the Secret Realm, including himself, were ejected.

The abrupt end of the Secret Realm left many cultivators confused. But soon, some understood that its conclusion meant the Quasi-Emperor inheritance had been obtained by someone else and began searching for that person.

After all, if such a powerful inheritance fell into the hands of a top force, they could only watch. But if it landed with an ordinary cultivator, they would naturally seize it.

Amid the search for the person who obtained the Quasi-Emperor inheritance, Zuo Ling quietly hid in the crowd, ready to slip away unnoticed.

However—

Just shortly after Zuo Ling tried to leave quietly, he noticed a powerful presence locked onto him.

The next moment.

A towering figure appeared before him.

Gu Tiangang, his face cold, stared icily at the person before him, speaking in a frosty tone: "I recall none of the True Monarchs entering the Secret Realm included you.

Now that you’ve emerged from the Secret Realm and stepped into the pinnacle of the True Monarch, even if you haven’t obtained the inheritance of Jing Shen Palace, you must have gained significant benefits.

Hand over your opportunity, and I will spare your life!"
