Chapter 799: Fourth Level of the Original Tower! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Lin Qi asked, "What's happened now?"

Gu Ta'ao spoke excitedly, "I just received word—Ti Xi has successfully cleared the fourth level of the Original Tower!!"

"I have to say, since Ti Xi broke through, her potential has clearly improved!"

"Her progress is too fast!"

"I suspect her Boundary Return Body is kicking in!"

"She attempted the fourth level twice, and this second time, she cleared it immediately!"

"Compared to her, we're all too weak!"

"Even Brother Qin has been surpassed by her—she's now the top among our new members!"

"I just contacted him, but his AI lifeform notified me he's in seclusion cultivating!"

"I estimate once he emerges, he'll clear the fourth level of the Original Tower!"

After hearing Gu Ta'ao's words, Lin Qi was deeply surprised inside.

Ti Xi cleared the fourth level of the Original Tower?

Her progress was this fast—even faster than mine!

It couldn't have been through Water Dao—after all, I'm certain my understanding of Metal Dao is stronger than her Water Dao.

It's most likely Space Dao—Space Dao is one of the two most difficult Daos!

Even a slight comprehension brings a massive boost to combat power!

Now that Ti Xi has cleared the fourth level, in a few years, when Chi Di emerges, clearing the fourth level will be a certainty!

What about me?

I feel I still have a long way to go before I can clear the fourth level myself.

Instantly, intense pressure surged into his heart.

The burly figure of Gu Ta'ao spoke up, "It's getting more cutthroat than ever!"

"Everyone is pushing themselves to cultivate!"

"We're all at Universe Level Three, with thirty thousand years of lifespan, yet we still have to work this hard!"

Lin Qi smiled, "You could just lie back and relax—you're a Elder Elder Xing Yu genius, after all!"

"Even if you cultivate slowly, you'll still become a Universe Level Four being in the future!"

Gu Ta'ao shook his head after hearing this, "That won't do."

"I'm a Elder Elder Xing Yu genius from Manzu Star—countless people have high hopes for me!"

"If I don't push myself and get left behind by you all, I'll be utterly humiliated!"

"I've got pride too!"

"Enough talk—I need to cultivate hard too, can't fall too far behind you!"

With that, he ended the video call.

Lin Qi's expression turned serious.

With the pressure from Ti Xi and Chi Di, he felt he still had a long way to go before truly surpassing them.

After a moment of thought, he made a decision.

"First, cultivate my blood qi—raise my fusion rate to 60%."

"Once I awaken my Thunder affinity, my affinity for Thunder Dao will increase dramatically!"

"Then, when I comprehend Thunder Dao, it'll be twice as effective!"

"It won't delay my understanding of Thunder Dao—I can then raise my movement realm all at once!"

Lin Qi instantly decided.

Because he hadn't awakened a Thunder affinity, his affinity for Thunder Dao was far weaker than his affinity for Metal Dao.

The comprehension difficulty was also higher.

So it was better to awaken first.

Thinking this, he took from his space ring a small stone, no bigger than a ping-pong ball, radiating a metallic sheen.

He had one hundred thousand low-grade Metal Boundary Stones—more than enough for his cultivation.

Now that he wanted to awaken, he'd raise his realm.

That meant raising his blood qi to at least two million.

Thinking this, he activated his Gang Jing.

Dark golden Gang Jing flowed like water, gently enveloping the low-grade Metal Boundary Stone as it floated upward.

"Hummm!!"

As the Gang Jing surged into the stone, it guided the low-grade Boundary Stone's power into his body.

As the Boundary Stone's power entered, it passed through his pores and blood qi, finally flowing into his Metal Source Core.

The Metal Source Core emitted golden light, radiating through his body.

At the same time, it continuously absorbed surrounding source energy.

With this major breakthrough, not only did his physical body strengthen, his Dao affinity improved, and he could now control more source energy.

His cultivation efficiency also increased.

He could absorb even more source energy.

If he returned to Blue Star, he might drain the entire planet's source energy in no time.

With just the Nine Heavens Scripture, he could easily break through to Universe Level Four after centuries or millennia of cultivation.

But he didn't want to—he found it too slow.

He wanted to grow strong quickly.

"Hummm!!"

As the Boundary Stone's power entered, it was immediately absorbed by his body.

"Huuu!!"

Inside his Source Core world, still golden, a massive nine-layer golden vortex—nine-layer star vortex—swiftly absorbed the Boundary Stone's power.

"Boom!!"

Moments later, as master of his Source Core world, Lin Qi felt the entire world expanding.

But the expansion was slow—and soon stopped.

In the end, it expanded only five hundred meters.

【You absorbed one Metal Boundary Stone. Your body has transformed. Blood qi +50.】

Lin Qi frowned at the panel data—he felt no significant change in his body.

Compared to supreme-grade Metal Boundary Stones, low-grade ones were vastly inferior.

Thinking this, he took from his space ring a massive metal chest.

Inside, it was packed full of low-grade Metal Boundary Stones.

Seeing them, Lin Qi smiled slightly in satisfaction.

Though cultivation alone was fast, absorbing Metal Boundary Stones was faster.

He had reached the peak of each realm in record time.

With so many low-grade Metal Boundary Stones, accumulated bit by bit, they'd be enough to raise him to an extremely high realm.

Thinking this, ten low-grade Metal Boundary Stones floated up simultaneously, absorbed into his body.

The Boundary Stone's power surged in like an endless stream.

As his Source Core world absorbed the power, it expanded again.

Five hundred meters, one kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers, five kilometers!

It stopped only after five kilometers.

"Hummm!!"

During this process, as his Source Core world expanded, golden light continuously shot out from the Metal Source Core, spreading to every corner of his body.

His physical strength slowly increased.

【You absorbed a low-grade Metal Boundary Stone. Your Source Core world expanded. Your physical strength slightly increased. Blood qi +50.】

【You absorbed a low-grade Metal Boundary Stone. Blood qi +50.】

【Blood qi +50, Blood qi +50, Blood qi +50…】

【Blood qi: 1.6 million → 1.6005 million】

……

Seeing this, Lin Qi shook his head—it was too little. Ten low-grade Metal Boundary Stones had only raised his blood qi by 500.

But it was still faster than his own cultivation.

Thinking this, Lin Qi's eyes glowed golden.

One hundred low-grade Metal Boundary Stones floated in the air, their Boundary Stone power transforming into golden threads that surged into Lin Qi's body.

His Source Core world expanded again, and Lin Qi clearly felt his physical strength rising.

……

"Hummm!!"

At the same time, Lin Qi sensed deep within his body, his primordial power—another new force was beginning to gestate, emitting strange ripples.

Once his fusion rate reached 60%, he could awaken again.

Thinking this, he frantically activated the Chaos Golden Dome Sacred Scripture.

Frantically began absorbing the source energy within!

Fully immersed themselves in cultivation!

……

As time passed, all new members of the Tai Chu Sacred Ground devoted themselves to cultivation!

Meanwhile, on the Original Tower, more and more members seized the chance to break through, and an increasing number of geniuses successfully passed the third level!

Geniuses who had collected numerous realm stones saw their strength improve daily!

In the blink of an eye, five more years had passed!

In the ninth level of the Dao Transmission Hall of the Tai Chu World, beneath the vast starry sky, nearly ten thousand genius members sat on the open ground!

"BOOM!!"

"ZIZZ!"

On the podium, Elder Xing Yu, clad in a purple robe, tall and imposing, his aura dominant, was enveloped in thunderous power!

Around him, countless violent lightning bolts appeared; the Law of Thunder was fully revealed before all eyes!

Soon after, all the thunderous power dissipated, and Elder Xing Yu's mighty voice echoed in everyone's ears!

"This lecture is now officially concluded!"

"I hope my lecture has brought you all some benefit!"

Everyone rose and said: "Thank you, Lei Zun, for your guidance!"

Elder Xing Yu nodded, watching the others turn and leave, until only Lin Qi remained!

"Lin Qi, what doubts do you have about the Law of Thunder?"

Sitting beside him, Lin Qi slowly replied:

"Master, I have begun to touch upon the True Meaning of Lei Ji, but I feel there are aspects I cannot comprehend…"

Lin Qi voiced his confusion!

The purple-robed Elder Xing Yu immediately began to answer!
