Chapter 354: Chapter 354

Lu Lin’s Spirit Jade has already reached a perfect state.

It was completely black on top.

Suddenly, a thin white line appeared on the Spirit Jade. Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

The white line gradually grew thicker and larger.

The black part gradually reduced and disappeared.

Lu Lin watched these changes in the Spirit Jade with some tension, quietly waiting.

He didn’t know what would happen the next second.

After all, whether it is the records of Humans regarding cultivation, or the information obtained from the Exotic Battlefield, there has never been an instance where Spiritual Strength alone could achieve a breakthrough to Titled King.

A slight crack sound emerged from the thumb-length Spirit Jade, causing Lu Lin’s heart to skip a beat.

There couldn’t be a problem, could there?

He felt a little tense in his heart.

Above, with Gan Yu’s help, Tou Meng had already drilled down to a depth of about a hundred meters.

The Eight-Armed Clan itself has a sturdy physique, with powerful muscles all over.

Tou Meng is one of the elite Star Generals of the Eight-Armed Clan, his figure is even larger compared to the average Eight-Armed Clan member.

This caused Gan Yu to silently complain in his heart, that this guy drinks every day without doing much work, but once he decides to do something useful, it causes such a big hassle for him.

Gan Yu’s roots also had to expend the Star Power energy within his body when opening the passageway.

The wider the passageway is opened, the more energy it consumes.

After descending only a hundred meters, Gan Yu felt quite exasperated.

He suspected that he might not be able to persist in letting Tou Meng descend to five hundred meters to find Lu Lin.

After the first crack sound from the Spirit Jade in Lu Lin’s mind, a second and third similar sound quickly followed.

The black and white mixed Spirit Jade developed a few cracks as well.

Beads of sweat began to form on Lu Lin’s forehead.

This shouldn’t be happening.

The method of extremely compressing Spiritual Strength that he used was inspired by the Soul Splitting Skill of the Kongming White Ape Clan.

The Soul Splitting Skill is divided into three stages: Visualization, Reflection, and finally, Soul Splitting.

Currently, Lu Lin had reached the peak of the Visualization level, but he had no clue on how to reach the Reflection realm.

When Lu Lin was watching and learning the Soul Splitting Skill, he saw a section at the end of the booklet discussing the hypothesis of Spiritual Strength progression for demon beasts.

This is the method of extreme compression of Spiritual Strength he is using now.

The Soul Splitting Skill stated that whether it is the Extraordinary Species or exotic beasts, essentially both are cultivation paths that excavate the potential of the bloodline. However, Extraordinary Species have a tendency towards various talent skills in their cultivation, while the Exotic Beast Clan continues on the path of enhancing their physical bodies.

Currently, it’s not clear who is right and who is wrong.

But the beast who compiled the Soul Splitting Skill speculated that these two paths aren’t the only ways to reach higher levels.

If one wanted to ascend from the pinnacle of demon beasts again, then one must combine both methods, or choose a third path.

From the moment an exotic beast is born, they receive ongoing cultivation of Spiritual Strength, with various fruits, elixirs, cultivation secret methods all fully supplied.

Thus, when an exotic beast reaches the ninth-level peak, the Spiritual Strength in their mind would inevitably reach the threshold of demonic strangeness.

At this point, when supplemented with powerful fruits that dramatically boost Spiritual Strength, enabling an exotic beast to possess more than five to ten times the Spiritual Strength, there is a great hope that a demon beast completely upgraded through Spiritual Strength could emerge.

The book stated that although the Exotic Beast Clan’s main specialty lies in their physical bodies, the strength of their Spiritual Strength shouldn’t be underestimated.

The ability to control such large bodies, to detect issues in any part of their bodies in a timely manner, is in itself a manifestation of powerful Spiritual Strength.

Lu Lin expressed great approval for the theory in the book.

The improvement in Spiritual Strength is most evident in him.

Learning ability enhanced.

Comprehension ability increased.

Reaction speed increased.

Diverse thinking methods.

Through multiple mental simulations on the method of upgrading through Spiritual Strength, Lu Lin had some degree of confidence in it.

It’s just that his previous cultivation speed was like riding a rocket, advancing rapidly, so Lu Lin didn’t entertain the thought.

He wanted to advance to the ninth level first.

By then, he would be more confident in upgrading through Spiritual Strength.

However, plans can’t keep up with changes.

The God of Black Shark frequently took action against Lu Lin, and this time even hijacked a Human Starship above Jupiter just for him.

Letting Lu Lin clearly realize that his plans must change.

Doing things step-by-step is nice, but the problem is, the enemy doesn’t give you the opportunity and time to advance slowly.

This time, only after careful consideration, did Lu Lin make the painful decision to try the method of upgrading through Spiritual Strength.

If he succeeded, he would let the Alien Race feel his wrath.

If he failed, Lu Lin had a way to quickly deplete the excess Spiritual Strength, so it wouldn’t harm himself.

The current situation was beyond Lu Lin’s expectations.

The Spirit Jade shattered.

Crackling sounds occurred, almost visibly, as black and white patterned Spirit Jade developed more cracks.

The situation was unexpected, Lu Lin was unable to handle it, and the Soul Splitting Skill’s method of extreme compression of Spiritual Strength was just a theory, with no recorded practical process.

Lu Lin was a bit at a loss.

Would he die under the hypothesis of the Soul Splitting Skill because of his rashness?

Or perhaps the conjecture written on the last page of the Soul Splitting Skill could inherently never be realized.

The Kongming White Ape Clan wrote it intentionally to trap those who stole their clan’s secret technique?

In an instant, a lot of thoughts emerged in Lu Lin’s mind.

Zhao Lei and others had just returned and went directly to Lv Susu to recount everything that happened on this trip.

When communicating through the Message Conch earlier, they didn’t convey details very thoroughly; a lot of specifics weren’t fully explained.

As the number one in the extrapolation department in the Human Federation, Lv Susu paid the most attention to the details.

These details can truly assist him in making a series of deductions and judgments.

Every Titled King and even the Ninth-Level Martial Artists who went to rescue Lu Lin recounted their experiences on this trip. Only then did Lv Susu take a deep breath, "Alright, everyone can rest for a bit first. All the injured Star Generals can directly enter the federation’s treasury to select the corresponding herbs for treatment. As for Lu Lin’s matter... wait a moment."

When mentioning Lu Lin, Lv Susu felt her heart skip a beat.

If this phenomenon happened to an ordinary person, it wouldn’t signify much.

But appearing in Lv Susu, it signified that something big was about to happen.

"Wait a moment, let me deduce Lu Lin’s life destiny again."

Without waiting for the people before her to say anything, Lv Susu started forming a spell with her hands and closed her eyes, entering a state of spiritual journey.

Her spiritual body detached from her flesh at this moment.

Before her eyes appeared a completely different world.

Lv Susu could even see the flames of life and the glows of luck of Zhao Lei and others around her.

Zhao Lei, Duan Ya, Xing Fang — the flames of life of these three people were quite vigorous before, clearly indicating a long life.

But in comparison, their glows of luck were not particularly noticeable.

Based on past experiences, Lv Susu knew that these three might never advance to the realm of a Titled King in their lifetime.

Only Zhu Henian was different.

If not for Lu Lin’s unexpected emergence, the luck-rich Zhu Henian would surely ascend to a Titled King within the next hundred years.

Similarly, there was Vice Principal Yang Jun of Iron Blood University.

Even though he had only entered the ninth level for a year or two, Lv Susu had previously judged, upon seeing him, that Yang Jun would ascend to a Titled King within ten years or even sooner.

Indeed, the difference between humans at times is more significant than that between humans and dogs.

However, this was not the time to discuss such matters.

Lv Susu raised her head, gazing at the stars appearing in the sky.

The one representing Lu Lin was flickering brightly at a rapid pace.

This brightness surpassed that of several Titled Kings present.

The flashing frequency was also increasing more and more rapidly.

If one did not observe closely, it was almost indistinguishable from a Titled King, perhaps even standing out among them.

How is this possible?

Back at Iron Blood College, Lu Lin was merely at the sixth level.

Even if he advanced quickly, he could at most be at Level 6 Peak or just entering the seventh level now.

What kind of situation could cause a sudden promotion to Titled King?

"Stars, stars, tell me, what has happened to Lu Lin."

Lv Susu muttered in her heart.

This was her method of divination, for she could enter this mystical domain and communicate with each star in the sky, allowing Lv Susu’s deductions to be accurate every time.

A starlight shot from the star representing Lu Lin onto Lv Susu, and she suddenly understood.

But immediately a feeling of incredulity arose.

Lu Lin is truly about to ascend to Titled King, and it’s a spiritual-type Titled Monarch.

This is simply a precedent-setting first.

Prior to this, Lv Susu had heard of and researched the possibility of a spiritual-type Titled Monarch.

Yet, the representative figure of the federal spiritual sphere, Cha Yuan, hadn’t walked this path. What kind of outrageous luck did Lu Lin, an Earth Element Awakener, encounter to achieve this?

"Stars, stars, tell me if Lu Lin can return safely."

Lv Susu continued to ask.

This time, the star didn’t respond for a long while.

Lv Susu had to urge it again, and the star reluctantly emitted a beam of light.

The expression on Lv Susu’s face immediately became extraordinarily complex.

There was bewilderment.

Too many emotions mixed together, and Lv Susu didn’t know what to say.

After a long silence, Lv Susu finally exhaled, exited that state, and her spirit returned to her body, opening her eyes.

"Lv Susu, how was it? Did you deduce anything?"

Zhao Lei asked eagerly.

Lv Susu thought about saying something, but after a moment, she shook her head and let everyone disperse.

As for Lu Lin’s matter, there was no need for her to worry about it anymore.

No matter how she spoke now, it would be of no use.

Lu Lin’s mood gradually calmed down.

Just now, the Spirit Jade in his mind completely shattered, and at the moment he thought he was about to meet his end, a transformation occurred.

A black and white, seemingly like a Taiji symbol yet not quite, round bead appeared from the shattered Spirit Jade.

Could it be... the Golden Pill?

Lu Lin thought, just when he was about to investigate further, he found that the so-called "Golden Pill" had vanished.

Though it vanished, Lu Lin found his inner being without any ripples, not even a trace of curiosity.

Perhaps it was because the shattering of the Spirit Jade just now had taken Lu Lin on a journey between life and death.

Since he didn’t die, and there’s no possibility of dying, what is there to fear?

In the Universe of Consciousness.

The vanished "Black and White Golden Pill" entered there out of thin air, spinning around.

Intertwined beams of black and white light shot out in all directions.

Originally, the Universe of Consciousness was only a realm of darkness, but now it was enriched with colors.

Becoming both black and white.

The first to transform was the One-Eyed Demon Knife that Lu Lin had been using frequently of late.

The entire blade turned white, and the handle transformed into a white color too.

Only the single eye, similar to a hand guard, retained its black and white pattern.

Overall, it changed from a black and eerie demon knife to something more mysterious and unfathomable.
