In the distance, White Ghost and the others were flying quickly. All of them were extremely excited.
Initially, in their opinion, the biggest competitor for this mission was the Black Devil. However, now that the Black Devil had taken the initiative to withdraw, they were all excited.
However, White Ghost felt uneasy about disappearing.
He had a feeling that since His Lord had sent all of them out, it was not because he was giving all of them an opportunity, but because the difficulty of this mission might not be small.
If he acted rashly, he might attract unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he had a thought and said to the people around him, “Um… I’ve decided to look for the captain and act with him. As for the Door of Darkness, I’ll leave it to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others were stunned for a moment before they were all excited.
In their team, the strongest was the Black Ghost, and the second strongest was the White Ghost. Although he was not as terrifying as the Black Ghost, he also had the strength of the 49th level of Heaven Splitting.
Compared to the White Ghost, the others were slightly weaker.
This time, their Lord had clearly said that their main mission was to deal with the abnormal movements of the Gate of Fear. As for killing the traitor, it was just secondary.
Therefore, the fewer people who participated in the Gate of Fear, the greater their chances!
With someone withdrawing, this was simply great news for the others!
“Haha, White Ghost, are you serious?”
When Green Ghost heard this, his eyes lit up and he laughed out loud. “You’ve thought it through. With Captain’s strength, it’s normal for him not to care about the reward this time. However, you… Although you’re a little stronger than me, you’re still far from the Saint Realm. We’ve worked together for many years. I still have to advise you to see the situation clearly.”
As he spoke, Green Ghost signaled the others with his eyes and left quickly, not giving White Ghost a chance to regret.
Red Ghost frowned and turned around to look at White Ghost. He stopped and did not leave.
This way, only Purple Ghost, Green Ghost, and Gray Ghost were left in the direction of the Gate of Fear.
The three of them were also happy to see Red Ghost choose to stay. After all, if one less person shared the benefits, they would have a higher chance of advancing to the Saint realm. Why not?
“Hehe, you two, why don’t you stay too? After all, this trip is dangerous.”
After flying for a while, Green Ghost asked with a smile.
Purple Ghost sneered. “I’m not those fools. I want benefits!”
The Grey Ghost was silent for a long time before saying, “Me too.”
Seeing this, the Green Ghost could not help but feel bored. He said indifferently, “Alright, it’s fine for the three of us to split the benefits. Let’s hurry up, lest they regret it and it won’t be easy.”
“Yeah.”
The other two nodded when they heard that. The three of them sped up and ran in the direction of the Azure Dragon Domain.
However, what happened between them fell into the eyes of the Black Devil.
He looked at the members of the Ghost Face Team who had split into two waves below. After frowning and thinking for a while, he smiled and appeared in front of White Ghost and Red Ghost.
The soundless appearance of the Black Devil shocked the two of them. They were about to attack, but when they realized that it was the Black Devil, they heaved a sigh of relief and said respectfully, “Captain!”
“Yes, the two of you… did well!”
The Black Devil nodded and looked at the two of them with gratification in his eyes. Then, he continued, “Your choice was right.”
“Captain, you mean…”
White Ghost was stunned when he heard this and asked. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Black Ghost.
“The matter in the Four Square Regions should be far more complicated than we imagined. Our team is probably just cannon fodder. If the two of you can retreat after seeing it clearly, I think highly of you!”
The Black Ghost said with a smile. White Ghost and Red Ghost were the two members he admired the most in the team. Now that they had made the right choice, he couldn’t help but think more highly of them, so he planned to share some information with them.
After a few simple words, the Black Ghost said, “That’s what happened. What do you think?”
“Are you saying that Lord Black Robe also suggests that you do this?”
White Ghost asked carefully.
“Yes, that was his suggestion.”
The black man nodded and said indifferently.
“Then we’re willing to join!”
White Ghost and Red Ghost looked at each other and shouted in unison.
“Uh… Just because this is Black Robe’s suggestion?”
“That’s right! Lord Black Robe is resourceful, and you’re his best friend, so what he said must be right!”
White Ghost said blindly.
At the side, Red Ghost also nodded in agreement.
Now it was the Black Ghost turn to be dumbfounded.
Hey… whose lackeys are you?
However, now was not the time to be conflicted about this. Thinking of his “proof of allegiance”, the Black Devil said directly, “Let’s catch up to them quickly. One for each of us. Let’s go and submit our proof of allegiance!”
“Alright!”
When White Ghost heard this, he was immediately tempted.
In the team, White Ghost was only on good terms with Red Ghost and Black Ghost. As for the other three, they did not have much closeness. Therefore, they did not feel any psychological burden when they fought.
Therefore, once they had a plan, everyone immediately took action.
First, the Black Devil sent a voice transmission.
However, his face quickly darkened.
“Damn it, these guys are actually running even faster! Could it be that they’re afraid that I’ll snatch their opportunities? Damn it!”
The Black Devil cursed and sped up. He was extremely anxious now. He had to pledge his allegiance. If these guys escaped and he was directly dealt with by them, it would not make sense for him to go over empty-handed.
At the thought of this, the Black Ghost shouted, “Quick, White Ghost, you’re a space-type. Help me speed up. We have to deal with them. Otherwise, without a proof of allegiance, it’s hard to say if we’ll survive!”
White Ghost was shocked when he heard that. He hurriedly took action and a divine rune with the word “Haste” appeared. Coupled with the Power of Fear, it transformed into a meteor that tore through space and flew towards the Azure Dragon Domain!
***
On the other side, Lin Bei, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distant void, deep in thought.
After a while, he muttered, “Strange… Why does this aura look like the Power of Fear? Could it be that… the people sent by the Lord of Fear have already arrived?”
At the thought of this, Lin Bei stood up excitedly. Without any nonsense, he raised his hand and summoned Jiang Li, who was cultivating in his pocket space.
“Master, what can I do for you?”
As soon as Jiang Li appeared, she bowed.
But soon, she seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the void. She frowned and said, “Master, someone is here.”
“Yes, they’re here. I’ll leave them to you to deal with. But remember, don’t kill them. Bring them over intact.”
Lin Bei said.
The reason why he kept them alive was that once these Fear Incarnations died, their power would be retrieved by the Lord of Fear and used to nourish himself. However, Lin Bei did not want such a thing to happen. He needed these powers to increase his strength, so he had to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth.
Anyway, this was not the first time he had done this, and the effect was not bad every time.
If his perception was not wrong, the people who had come this time should be the Fear Incarnations of the Heaven Splitting Realm. The divine rune power on these people should be even stronger. This way, it would be even easier.
After all, after he devoured and refined the divine runes, it would take a lot of effort to increase their strength. The stronger the Fear Incarnation was, the less effort the divine runes would take. This was naturally a good thing for him.
This was the first time he had received the power of the Heaven Splitting realm divine runes, so he was still looking forward to it.
“Understood!”
Jiang Li accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave when Lin Bei stopped him. Then, he flicked his finger and a spirit body clone appeared and landed on Jiang Li’s shoulder.
“This is one of my spirit body clones. It has the strength of the 300th level of Qi Refinement. It’ll help you hold the fort.”
“Thank you, Master!”
“Alright, go and come back quickly. Don’t delay your cultivation.”
“Yes!”
Jiang Li nodded and disappeared.
Lin Bei watched Jiang Li leave and sighed. “As expected of a survivor of the Calamity Tribe. Her cultivation talent is indeed shocking. In just three days, she reached the 108th level of Qi Refinement. In time, her future will be limitless.”
Then, he closed his eyes and continued to refine the Ancient Martial Origin Marks.
In three days, he had already refined many origin marks. Now, there were still six origin marks left. He had refined all the ancient martial arts origin marks on the fishing rod.
What was worth mentioning was that the 36 ancient martial arts Origin Marks on the fishing rod were all things he had not obtained before. This made him sigh in his heart that he was too lucky.
“Speaking of which, my strength has really increased faster and faster during this period of time. Previously, I was wondering if I could maintain the increase in my Qi Refinement realm. Now, it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary.”
Lin Bei felt the surging power in his body. At this moment, his cultivation speed was even faster than before!
As more and more origin ancient martial arts marks were refined by him, his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth became deeper and deeper. His Meridian Opening speed also became faster and faster. In the past, he opened a meridian in a minute and increased the realm of Qi Refinement by one level.
But now, he only needed ten seconds to open a meridian. This speed was six times faster than before, making him extremely satisfied.
In three days, he was already at the 9,999th level of Qi Refinement. He was only a step away from the Great Dao Realm.
However, it was strange. It had been three hours since the last level, but he still did not succeed. This made Lin Bei feel helpless.
It seemed that he had encountered a bottleneck.
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the dense Galaxy Meridians in his body. He then looked at the 10,000 Galaxy Meridians that he could not condense and suddenly had a plan.
“Since I can’t continue to open my meridians, what if I combine my meridians? Can I continue to cultivate?”
Lin Bei’s eyes flickered and he immediately took action.
It took him about ten minutes to complete the Meridian Fusion and fuse the 9,999 Galaxy Meridians in his body into 100 new meridians.
However, such meridians were even more majestic and condensed than the previous Galaxy Meridians. It was as if the vast universe contained countless Great Dao laws.
“Hmm? This effect… is really surprisingly good. Although I haven’t opened any more meridians, my current strength has increased by at least a hundred times compared to my previous self before I combined the meridians! As expected… this is the right direction to continue improving my strength.”
Lin Bei smiled. He had to give this new realm a new name.
“Hmm… The meridians after this Meridian Fusion contain the power of the Great Dao. Why don’t we call it the Great Dao Meridian? Not bad. I feel that with the Dao Meridian, I can nurture stronger Dao runes!”
The divine runes were very powerful.
However, as Lin Bei’s strength increased, he also sensed that he was a little powerless.
This was because although the power of these divine runes was special, their strength seemed to have an upper limit. The Galaxy Meridian had already reached its limit to nurture these divine runes.
This was why even though he had clearly advanced to the 9,999th level of Qi Refinement, the Spirit Body clone he condensed still only had the strength of the 300th level of Qi Refinement. It was not that he did not want to increase the strength of the Spirit Body clone, but the power of the divine rune of the word “Soul” had already been unleashed to the limit.
But now that he had condensed a Great Dao Meridian after combining his meridians, he could clearly feel that the various divine runic powers nurtured in his meridians had actually broken through the upper limit and begun to transform!
“Perhaps after completing the transformation, they will truly be worthy of the words Dao Runes.”
Lin Bei sighed and looked at the surging power in his body and the last Great Dao Meridian that was slightly lacking. He smiled and began to condense his strength to complete it.
The 100th Great Dao meridian was successfully condensed by him!
At this moment, Lin Bei’s aura also underwent a transformation. It was as if he had transformed from a mortal body to an immortal who did not want to be tainted by dust. He became immortal. With every move, the power of the Great Dao fluctuated, making one yearn for it.
“Is this the power of the Great Dao? Interesting.”
Lin Bei opened his eyes and felt the power fluctuation in his body. He smiled and said, “Could it be that… after the Qi Refinement Realm is the Great Dao Realm? No, won’t I be the same as the others like this? Moreover, this is the Meridian Combining Technique, not the Meridian Opening Technique of the Great Dao Realm, so… the names definitely can’t be the same.”
“How about… I call it the Dao Integration Realm?”
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and finally came to a conclusion.
Meridians that were condensed into the Great Dao Meridians were called the Dao Integration Realm. This title was very appropriate.
Lin Bei smiled in satisfaction and began to rearrange the Great Dao meridians in his body. He planned the power of ancient martial arts again and fused them into different Great Dao Meridians.
This way, meridian, power and Dao Runes would be his future directions of hard work.
Moreover, in terms of strength, although he was only at the first level of the Dao Integration Realm now, he kept feeling that he was much stronger than ordinary Great Dao Realm experts.
Of course, he could not tell how strong he was exactly. Without a real battle, he could not say.
After all, at this realm, every move could affect the Great Dao. If they did not really fight, it was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker.
“Forget it. Let’s talk about it when we have the chance in the future.”
With that, he stood up and stopped cultivating. Instead, he looked at a space and grinned.
“The timing is just right. A new divine runic power has arrived!”
With that, he waved his hand gently. The surrounding Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to be affected and fluctuated. Then, space turned illusory and a few figures immediately appeared in front of him.
