Chapter 629: Charging the Sixth Level! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Xu Qin's figure reappeared; looking at her ranking on the panel, she shook her head secretly:

"Both awakened two abilities, but the gap between me and Jiang Tao is getting larger and larger."

"Jiang Tao will likely awaken a third ability and become a galaxy-level genius!"

She couldn't help but think of Lin Qi, the genius ranked first on the Scorching Sun Ranking.

Among galaxy-level geniuses, he was also a top-tier existence; compared to him, she...

Now, when she sees Lin Qi, it is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky; the gap between the two is too large.

She had a premonition that she wouldn't be able to pass this fourth level of the Starfire Tower.

At the same time, the door to the 06 virtual room slid open silently.

A crimson intelligent robot carrying a large black metal box entered the virtual room.

"Lin Qi, this is your reward!"

"Hum!"

The intelligent robot spoke slowly, and Lin Qi took the metal box from its hand, placed it on the table, and opened it.

Inside were six items embedded; the first was the Void-Flying Potion, the second contained a milky white liquid—it was the ten-thousand-year stone milk.

Next were two silver metal spheres; they were the Flowing Silver Guards.

Besides these, there was also the Bloodline Evolution Potion and a book with a red cover—"Starfire Tower".

He took out the secret technique and put everything else into his space bracelet.

Xinhuo said: "Cultivate slowly; I'm leaving first!"

After saying this, she controlled the intelligent robot to leave.

Only Lin Qi was left in the virtual room; he opened the secret technique, curious about how to cultivate this mental secret technique.

"Now, there is less than ten days left until the three-month Scorching Sun Ranking reward settlement."

"It is enough for me to open the 108th acupoint and then cultivate 'Starfire Tower'."

"I have confidence in passing the fifth level and successfully entering the sixth level!"

Lin Qi's mood was firm, and he began to flip through it!

"Starfire Tower" is a mental secret technique created based on the Starfire Tower, a trial building of the Starfire Civilization.

In the consciousness space, using mental power to construct a Starfire Tower requires extremely strong mental control.

Once constructed, the Starfire Tower will exist forever, entering a defensive state at all times.

Once the Starfire Tower is successfully constructed, mental defense will be significantly improved.

Mental impacts of the same realm will be blocked by 80%.

The impact of being one realm higher will be resisted by 50%.

Non-exquisite mental secret techniques cannot cause huge damage, like a castle guarding his consciousness space.

Lin Qi nodded as he read; just looking at the description, he could feel the power of this secret technique.

Soon he flipped through the whole book and, after putting it down, began to cultivate.

He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, entering the consciousness space.

"Boom!!"

At this time, in his mental space, there was completely no fog state.

The mental power had already been compressed into a liquid state, resembling a lake, gathering a majestic amount of mental energy.

He began to mobilize his mental power, instantly splitting into thousands of strands of mental power, beginning to construct the Starfire Tower.

He had seen the Starfire Tower, but constructing is different from observing; the interior also needs mental power for re-compilation.

It is an extremely complex method of mobilizing mental power.

It is like building a house, but even more complex.

If one does not have enough comprehension and talent, one simply cannot cultivate it successfully.

He finally understood what Xinhuo meant; this is a top-tier mental secret technique of the entire Starfire Civilization.

"Hum, hum!"

In the consciousness space, Lin Qi started building from the foundation, proceeding step by step in an orderly manner.

"Boom!"

Suddenly his body vibrated, blood Qi surged, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Failed!"

Lin Qi opened the red secret technique, flipped through it again, and then threw himself back into cultivation.

And Xinhuo in the shadows was also secretly watching Lin Qi's cultivation; she could feel bursts of mental fluctuations emanating from Lin Qi.

Under Lin Qi's control, the cultivation was coordinated and unified, which meant that his mental power was undergoing huge changes.

"As expected of a genius who defeated Nan Dou; his mental talent is actually not bad either!"

"This cultivation speed is already stronger than many mental power masters."

"Top-tier geniuses need to spend several months to condense the Starfire Tower!"

"Lin Qi might be faster!"

Xinhuo thought to herself.

Time passed in a flash; 10 days later!

In the No. 9 Relic, in the 06 virtual room.

Lin Qi, wearing black-gold battle armor, sat cross-legged; his expression was calm, and powerful mental fluctuations were released from his body.

His expression was calm, and in his consciousness space, huge changes were taking place.

A five-story red giant tower stood tall, standing in the endless space.

It was exactly the same as the Starfire Tower.

It exuded a heavy aura, like a super giant tower constructed by laying a deep foundation on the earth.

The entire Starfire Tower had five levels, every detail was vivid, containing endless changes.

And Lin Qi still hadn't stopped constructing; a moment later, he reached the most critical moment.

He mobilized his mental power, carrying out difficult construction; every step became abnormally difficult.

The entire brain became heavy, but in the next instant, bursts of cool meaning would surge into his heart.

Making his spirit refreshed, as if he had received a rest, able to continue the construction.

Time passed slowly, and finally, he reached the last step.

"Boom!!"

After completing the last step of construction, the entire Starfire Tower took shape with a bang, and heavy power was exuded.

Lin Qi felt his body and mind wrapped in a sense of security.

It was as if a naked body had put on clothes, able to resist heat, ice, natural filth, and the sharp plants in the jungle.

"This feeling..."

Lin Qi felt joy in his heart; it was successfully constructed!

And the effect was immediate; he could feel that the defensive power of his mental world had achieved a huge improvement.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, he felt that his consciousness space had undergone huge changes.

The lake representing mental power began to expand; his mental power obtained an improvement the moment he successfully cultivated "Starfire Tower".

【You took 20% purity Soul Marrow, successfully completed the cultivation of "Starfire Tower", condensed the Starfire Tower in the consciousness space, mental power significantly improved, mental power +3000】

【Template Fusion Degree +0.5%】

【Mental Power: 47000 -> 50000】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion Degree: 45% -> 45.5%】

Lin Qi looked at the information on the panel and immediately smiled.

His mental power actually improved by 3000 in one breath.

Making his current mental power reach an astonishing 50000.

This was very astonishing.

He was still only in the Qi-Refining Realm.

His mental power was already a large cut stronger than his physical fitness.

Now that he had also successfully cultivated "Starfire Tower",

facing the Zerg Mother Emperor again, the other party's mental attack would lose all effect.

The probability of him passing the fifth level of Scorching Sun Mountain would also become greater.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Lin Qi opened his eyes, intense essence light released, making him instantly perceive everything in the entire virtual room.

"Lin Qi, you succeeded?"

"Swish!"

Xinhuo, in the appearance of a young girl in red, projected out instantly; she was shocked again.

"You condensed the Starfire Tower in ten days?"

Lin Qi was puzzled: "Is this very strange?"

Xinhuo shook her head: "Of course this is strange; it's that your cultivation speed is too fast!"

"Most geniuses I know need several months, or even a year, to complete the cultivation."

"You actually completed the cultivation in only ten days; you have already set a record for the Starfire Civilization!"

Lin Qi nodded: "Maybe my talent is relatively good."

Then he continued to sit cross-legged and took out a vial of potion from his space bracelet.

Inside was the pink liquid Divine Acupoint Fluid.

"Gulp~"

He drank it quickly and continued to cultivate, beginning to charge the 108th acupoint.

Xinhuo looked at Lin Qi; she felt that this time, Lin Qi would easily open the 108th acupoint.

In his cultivation on the path of martial arts, he seemed to have no bottlenecks at all.

As long as he cultivated, there would be huge improvements.

Looking at it this way, it is understandable that he could improve from the peak of the Blood-Exchange Realm to the peak of the Qi-Refining Realm within a year.

"According to the records of the Starfire Civilization, among top-tier forces, before the Universe Second Realm, galaxy-level geniuses often only need a short twenty or thirty years to cultivate to the peak of the Void-Flying Realm."

"Some geniuses are even more powerful; they were at the peak of the Void-Flying Realm at 18."

"Before the Universe Second Realm, there almost won't be bottlenecks; only the growth of the body limits the breakthrough of the realm."

"And Nan Dou was such a genius!"

"And now it seems, Lin Qi is also such a genius."

Xinhuo thought to herself, watching the aura on Lin Qi becoming more and more powerful.

"What a strong life field; it has already completely surpassed the limit of the Qi-Refining Realm."

"Even a galaxy-level genius can't do it!"

"Could it be... a special constitution?"

Xinhuo looked at Lin Qi who was cultivating, guessing secretly in her heart.

"If it really is a special constitution, then it is too astonishing!"

"Owners of special constitutions, on the surface, are no different from galaxy-level geniuses."

"Only existences of extremely high realms can perceive it in reality."

"If Lin Qi really has a special constitution, he will shine brilliantly in the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"Perhaps he will have a chance to enter a Supreme Force, and in the future, reach a realm higher than the Universe Fourth Realm."

Just as Xinhuo was thinking, Lin Qi entered the charging of the acupoint.

He mobilized blood Qi, following the significant improvement of mental power, condensing the Starfire Tower.

His control over mental power was a step higher, able to sense any subtle change in his body.

"Boom!"

Heavy blood Qi, under his control, underwent compression and Gangjin fusion, charging into the brain, at the acupoint located on the right temple.

"Hum, hum!"

His skull vibrated, forming bursts of vibrational force, assisting him in charging the acupoint.

Amidst bursts of stinging pain, he began to charge the 108th acupoint.

24 hours later.

Lin Qi didn't know how long he had been charging; the difficulty of the 108th acupoint obviously exceeded his imagination.

Like a heavy barrier, he was unable to complete the charge.

Making him endure severe pain, feeling like it took a whole day to complete the opening.

"Boom!"

Lin Qi's whole body trembled; after the intense pain, strong exhaustion surged into his heart.

Following closely behind was a large amount of heat flow, surging out from the temple, and in a moment, surging into his limbs and bones.

In an instant, all 108 acupoints were activated, like 108 star vortices, the force field entering and exiting among them, blood Qi and source energy Gangjin fused.

Flowing through the 108 acupoints, completely connected together.

As if combined into a mysterious trajectory, making his body constantly heat up, and the cells of his body instantly became active.

Physical strength improved once again.

"This feeling..."

Lin Qi felt that the acupoints within his body had been connected, and the connection with the world between heaven and earth had become more intimate.

He felt as if he were about to be able to leave the ground and enter the sky; of course, this was just an illusion.

It was just that his body had become more light.

His body was brewing a huge metamorphosis, enough to allow his body to obtain a huge improvement.

Lin Qi knew that this was the prelude to breaking through to the Void-Flying Realm.

【You took Divine Acupoint Fluid, spent 24 hours, successfully opened the 108th acupoint, you have successfully opened all acupoints, Qi-Refining Realm perfection, physical strength improved, blood Qi value +99】

【You can begin to try to break through to the Void-Flying Realm!】

【Blood Qi Value: 39900 -> 39999】

Lin Qi looked at the panel information, exhaling the old and inhaling the new, spitting out the waste gas in his body.

Pores opened, terrifying source energy surged into his body, and cells absorbed source energy to undergo metamorphosis.

After a year, he finally reached true Qi-Refining Realm perfection.

The next step was to break through to the Void-Flying Realm, called a Title-level martial artist on Blue Star.

It was also his goal when he was a child.

When he was a child, watching the Red Emperor on the news, he dreamed of becoming a Ninth Realm martial artist.

Now he was only one step away from this goal.

"Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully opening 108 acupoints!"

Xinhuo projected out and congratulated him.

Lin Qi nodded: "Thank you for your 'Starfire Tower', which made my last acupoint open very smoothly."

Xinhuo said:

"108 acupoints—these are all the acupoints of the human body; even a galaxy-level genius might not necessarily be able to open them all."

"Especially the last acupoint, the difficulty is the greatest!"

"This will affect the strength of the source vein condensed in the Void-Flying Realm, determining the upper limit of strength."

"And now you can take the Void-Flying Potion, let your body cells begin to undergo metamorphosis, and condense the first source vein!"

Lin Qi shook his head after hearing this: "Don't rush; I need to enter the Scorching Sun Dao Academy, and the new round of rewards for the Scorching Sun Ranking is also about to close."

Xinhuo nodded after hearing this:

"The Scorching Sun Dao Academy, the setting of the Scorching Sun Ranking is very clever, able to help you geniuses from low-tier civilizations make rapid progress."

"If you can get the reward, your strength will also be able to obtain further improvement."

Lin Qi nodded; he glanced at the time—it was already the end of April.

There was less than 24 hours left until the reward settlement.

Then he put away his battle armor and chose to go to bed; he was too tired.

These ten days of crazy cultivation of "Starfire Tower".

Spending 24 hours, continuously enduring pain to open the last acupoint, caused him to be particularly exhausted now and in need of rest!

Xinhuo, seeing Lin Qi enter a state of rest, also consciously exited.

Martial Arts Calendar 2050, April 30th.

Universe Virtual World, Scorching Sun Dao Academy.

In front of Scorching Sun Mountain, countless Blood-Exchange Realm and Qi-Refining Realm martial artists gathered—a sea of people, the air filled with a restless atmosphere.

"Time passes really fast; in the blink of an eye, another three months have passed."

"I feel that my strength hasn't improved much; this time the ranking cannot be improved."

"Once this reward settlement passes, I'm going to start breaking through to the Void-Flying Realm!"

"There is less than three years left until the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"If I can't break through early, I might only be able to be cannon fodder in the end."

"I must charge to a higher ranking, let the people in my hometown know my strength."

"Yes, the Deep Space Genius Competition is about to start; all the geniuses of the Scorching Sun Dao Academy are fighting for their lives."

"No wonder there are more and more geniuses breaking through to the Qi-Refining Realm recently; the top 1000 are updated almost every day."

"They are all preparing for the Deep Space Genius Competition!"

Everyone discussed heatedly; what they discussed the most was the Deep Space Genius Competition.

"Lin Qi of the Blue Star civilization is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted. Not far away, a group of people walked over in a mighty force.

Everyone exuded a powerful aura.

Walking at the very front was a man in black robes with a cold face; after he appeared, he instantly became the focus of everyone.

"Brother Qi, this time we will definitely be able to enter the top 100!"

Jiang Tao, who was burly and dark-skinned, spoke; at this time, the aura on his body was becoming more and more heavy.

More and more having the temperament of King Shanhe.

Compared to a few months ago, his temperament was a large cut stronger.

Because he had successfully awakened a third ability and become a galaxy-level genius.

Becoming the sixth galaxy-level genius of Blue Star!

Lin Qi nodded, watching Jiang Tao lead the Seventh Realm group into Scorching Sun Mountain.

Lin Qi looked at Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, Gu Jian, and others behind him and said:

"Let's go in too!"

He walked at the very front, greeting many acquaintances.

"Why hasn't Lin Qi chosen to break through yet?"

"Troy has already broken through to the Void-Flying Realm; even if the reward for first place is generous, it is not as good as breaking through to the Void-Flying Realm."

"After all, for the Deep Space Genius Competition, there is also less than three years left; the earlier the breakthrough, the better."

"Probably waiting for this reward settlement!"

"I feel that there is no need for Lin Qi to come anymore; now, no one can surpass him for first place in the Qi-Refining Realm."

"The fifth level of Scorching Sun Mountain is really not something an ordinary person can enter."

Lin Qi ignored the surrounding discussion and walked straight into Scorching Sun Mountain.

In the distance, Troy appeared; looking at Lin Qi's back, he always felt that the other party might do something that would shock the entire Scorching Sun Dao Academy.

Above the endless mountains, Lin Qi, wearing black-gold battle armor, stepped on the ground, looking up at the dark red Zerg nest that covered the sky and the sun.

A large number of Zerg warriors flew out from it.

There was also the Zerg Mother Emperor with red skin and a hot figure.

【Scorching Sun Mountain Fifth Level: Please kill 3000 Zerg warriors and the Zerg Mother Emperor within five hours...!】

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【Scorching Sun Mountain Fifth Level test officially begins!】

Lin Qi held the spear with one hand, and the announcement of the intelligent voice sounded in his ears.

The corners of his mouth raised; today was the time for him to enter the sixth level of Scorching Sun Mountain.

"Hum!!"

His gaze locked onto the Zerg Mother Emperor; the other party's eyes bloomed with essence light, and strong mental fluctuations were released from her body.

In the invisible air, huge mental spikes shot out.

"Boom!"

At the same time, in Lin Qi's consciousness space, a red giant tower emerged—it was the Starfire Tower he had constructed.

The spikes hit the tower body, like hitting a wall of steel, instantly shattered.

And Lin Qi didn't feel anything.
