Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1005: 108 Chapter 1005: 108 Lin Zhen returned home.

After ten years of arduous cultivation, he had finally mastered the Tai Chu Seal and refined this Sovereign Weapon into his own treasure.

The power of this object is second only to the Constant Star he had meticulously condensed.

If speaking of individual attack power, it was not inferior to his own True Stellar Explosion.

“As expected from a Sovereign Weapon, its power is unmatched by any ordinary treasure.”

“But I feel this Sovereign Weapon is not as powerful as the legends, could there be some secret to it?”

Lin Zhen put away the Tai Chu Seal, resolved to keep it hidden as much as possible.

A guiltless man fears no accusations, but possession of the treasured seal was its own guilt—Lin Zhen knew this rule well.

His trip to New World had come to a successful close.

…

After contemplating for a while, Lin Zhen decided against visiting his homeland, the Solar System.

In the Dimensional Universe, he still had full view of the development of the Solar System.

Thanks to the solid foundation he had set, the Solar System was thriving, and Earth was even the Holy Land of the entire Fire Kirin Empire.

While his homeland grew increasingly prosperous, his family was within the Original World.

There was little purpose in Lin Zhen returning.

Perhaps one day, he would bring his family back to Earth to live out their days peacefully, but that wasn’t the time now.

Only when Lin Zhen felt absolutely safe, with no concerns for the future, would that day come.

As for now, after having spent over a decade in New World and with the Holy Land Great Competition of the Falling Star Lake approaching, he should return to the Original World.

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Zhen pulled out a Wormhole Egg.

As long as he had the Wormhole Egg, it wasn’t necessary for him to go through the Heavenly Gate again.

After opening the Wormhole Egg and setting up the Space Coordinates, a wormhole appeared before him.

Lin Zhen turned and entered it.

After a minute journey through the wormhole, Lin Zhen arrived above Falling Star Lake.

A refreshing breeze enveloped him.

Having gotten used to the New World, it wasn’t until he returned that he noticed how much fresher the air and spiritual aura were at home, far beyond anything the New World could offer.

“The Original World is certainly better.

In the future, I must transform Earth…

no, the entire Solar System, into the likeness of the Original World.

Only then can I rest entering retirement.”

Upon returning to the Original World, his suppressed realm was immediately restored, returning him to the peak of God Realm.

Calculating the time, there remained barely a month until the Holy Land Great Competition.

Lin Zhen gave up on his thoughts of breaking through to the Divine Stone Period for now.

he realized that even if he wanted to break through now, it would take days to prepare.

Time was a bit too tight.

A thundercloud rose beneath his feet as Lin Zhen passed through the teleporter of the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, heading straight to Star-Picking Island.

Before he could reach the upper reaches of Star-Picking Island, Lin Zhen received a communication from Jin Nuo in the Dimensional Universe.

“Did you obtain the Sovereign Weapon?”

“By good fortune, I have obtained a seal.”

Jin Nuo paused a moment: “Then keep it safe.

This object will prove invaluable.”

“Fifth Senior Brother, would you like me to bring this object to let you take a look?”

“No need for now, concentrate on your preparations.

Invade the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, you are now a symbolic figure of our Holy Land.

Your results in the tower cannot be poor.

It’s also a good practice.

It allows people to realize their shortcomings.”

“Understood, Fifth Senior Brother, I will go now.”

Lin Zhen bid farewell to Jin Nuo and arrived at Star-Picking Island.

First, he visited the Heaven Class to check on his family.

All of them were deeply engrossed in cultivation.

As the time drew nearer to the competition, everyone was practicing hard.

Lin Zhen did not disturb them.

It was common amongst martial artists to go undisturbed for decades.

One could spend years engrossed in cultivation, it was impossible to spend every day together like ordinary people.

He proceeded directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.

At Lin Zhen’s present level, he was unchallenged by anyone below the rank of deity.

This Thirty-Three Heavens Tower was a perfect opportunity to see his own strength.

As he arrived at the tower, he gave his respects to several people he met along the way.

Ever since the incident with Gabriel and Athena, everyone at the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake held Lin Zhen in high esteem, respect coming from their hearts.

Lin Zhen was not arrogant, he returned every courtesy.

After a while, he finally arrived at the tower.

Looking at the towering structure, several memories resurfaced.

“Years ago, when I ventured into the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, I had made it to the twelfth floor, where the Heavenly Lord of the Spiritual Mind Stage resided.

I was defeated and went to the Endless Star Sea.”

“Inside this treasure tower, every six levels is a stage.

The first six levels belong to the Three Flowers Stage.

Levels seven to twelve correspond to the Spiritual Mind Stage, while levels thirteen to eighteen are the God Realm.

Levels nineteen to twenty-four are the Divine Stone stage and anything above twenty-five is considered the Deity’s level.”

“The first five levels of each stage are respectively: Spiritual Mind Master, Domain Warrior, Galactic Beast, Elemental War God, Super Sword-Wielder, and the Omnipotent Heavenly Lord.”

“Given my current strengths, I can easily pass the Spiritual Mind Stage and probably the God Realm as well.

The only thing that might pose some trouble is the God Realm Heavenly Lord.

As for the Divine Stone Stage, that’s hard to say.”

Even though Lin Zhen had killed many powerful Divine Stone strongmen in the Endless Star Sea, those Divine Stone strongmen didn’t represent the true peak of the Divine Stone Stage.

Lin Zhen guessed that the Divine Stone Heavenly Lord in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower might be even more mighty than Bai Xue, ranked first in the Hall of Fame.

It truly represented the most formidable power underneath deity level.

The virtual characters inside the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower were far more powerful than actual martial artists, so Lin Zhen couldn’t confidently guarantee that he could defeat a Divine Stone Stage opponent.

“No matter what, I’ll tackle it first!”

After straightening his clothes, Lin Zhen decided to challenge the tower.

According to his fifth martial brother, to stay in Falling Star Lake Holy Land, he must pass the twentieth level first.

That meant that he must beat two virtual characters of the Divine Stone Stage, to qualify to stay in the Falling Star Lake.

If he couldn’t do this, there was no talk of becoming a Holy Land Resident.

After this competition, he would have to pack up and leave.

If he wanted to become a Holy Land Resident, he must pass the twenty-fifth level.

It meant that he had to beat the first lower deity level opponent to earn the right to stay.

To achieve that meant successfully conquering a deity.

Lin Zhen doesn’t dare to think that far yet.

” Our target!

Get through the twentieth level first, earn the right to stay in the Holy Land and then we talk!”

Lin Zhen walked into the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower in stride.

********

The news that Lin Zhen had returned to Falling Star Lake and was challenging the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower swiftly spread like it had wings.

Upon hearing the news, An Ning, Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen’s parents, and others all hurried over to see how Lin Zhen was faring in the tower.

Most of the people inside the Falling Star Lake also halted their cultivation to watch.

Ɲονǥ0.с0

Lin Zhen was the one chosen by Jin Nuo to inherit the Holy Land after all, everyone was curious if Lin Zhen, who had been training outside for many years, was capable of inheriting the Holy Land.

The standard for this was if Lin Zhen could pass the twentieth level.

The number of people interested in this news was overwhelming.

Not only within the Falling Star Lake, but also the Twin Trees Garden, Soul Lock Platform, and Freedom City, all were live-streaming Lin Zhen’s tower challenge.

Even the countries of the Original World on the ground were broadcasting it because Lin Zhen’s fame in the Original World was substantial.

Now that the ground and the Endless Star Sea are interconnected, people inside the Endless Star Sea also started watching.

Many dignitaries were watching the live stream quietly.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Zhen had already become a pivotal figure in the Original World, affecting countless hearts.

*********

The freedom city Holy Land, resident Zhang Lang was watching with a martial artist.

This martial artist had already reached the Divine Stone Stage!

You should know that it has only been a hundred years since this martial artist first entered the Freedom City Holy Land, the same batch as Lin Zhen.

When Lin Zhen entered the Holy Land, he was a World King, and now he is the God Realm Peak.

His cultivation speed is astonishing.

But when this martial artist entered the Holy Land, he was already at the Three Flowers Peak!

In a hundred years, he broke through the Spiritual Mind, God Realm, and Divine Stone, three large realms.

His cultivation speed is not inferior to Lin Zhen’s.

This person was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, emitting a chilling aura.

He gazed intently at Lin Zhen, who had just entered the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower on the screen.

Zhang Lang beside him said, “Mingjian, you were personally selected by me as the future inheritor of Freedom City Holy land.

Over the past hundred years, we Freedom City Holy Land have invested countless resources in you, putting everything best for you, creating your miracle of breaking through the three major realms in a hundred years.”

“I know that you are now arrogant and look down upon anyone else, but let me tell you, among your generation, there are a few people you absolutely can’t ignore.”

Zhang Lang raised his fingers, “One is Ling Dong from Soul Lock Platform, another is Feng Qingluan from Twin Trees Garden, and the other is the person you see now, Lin Zhen from Falling Star Lake.”

“The situations of Ling Dong and Feng Qingluan are similar to yours, they are all prodigies.

Each of you has been nurtured to the greatest extent by the Holy Land.

You all had excellent talent before, and were nurtured with massive resources.

With our guidance, every one of you has been advancing exceedingly quickly.

Every breakthrough almost reached the limit.

So, when I assess your strengths, even if there are discrepancies, they should be similar.

Until we have an actual trial, we can’t determine who is stronger.”

Mingjian looked at Zhang Lang: “Brother, I know about the people you mentioned.

Ling Dong and Feng Qingluan, they are indeed formidable opponents.

But as for Lin Zhen, I do not feel that he is on par with me.

What makes him eligible to be examined alongside me?”

Upon hearing Mingjian’s words, Zhang Lang’s face darkened: “It seems you are too arrogant.

Do you think Lin Zhen is simple?”

“Yes, you are at the Divine Stone Stage now, but don’t forget when you joined Freedom City, you were already at Three Flowers Peak.

In a hundred years you have broken through three realms, but what about Lin Zhen?

When he joined Falling Star Lake, he was only a World King.

Now he is already at God Realm Peak.

He has broken through four realms in a hundred years – Longevity Three Flowers, Spiritual Mind, God Realm!

I think Lin Zhen is not incapable of breaking through to the Divine Stone Stage just that he doesn’t want to.

Do you understand?”

“If he wanted to!

He could have broken through five realms in a hundred years.

And he didn’t achieve this under the guidance of Jin Nuo.

He achieved it all by himself.

He even made it into the top three of the Hall of Fame!

You might say that if you had the chance, you could have made it into the Hall of Fame as well.

But if you were left to fend for yourself, could you achieve all this in a hundred years?”

With perpetual questioning like rapid gunshots from Zhang Lang, Mingjian couldn’t help but lower his head.

But he still seemed unconvinced in his heart.
