Chapter 626: Chapter 628: Armed Divine Infant, Success!

Lin Zhen successfully concocted the Juyuan Powder for use in the Star Domain Stage and advanced to a Fifth Grade Alchemist, which delighted Thomas.

It is important to know that Lin Zhen had improved to become a Fifth Grade Alchemist at the age of only 1,003 years old. With such a talent and aptitude, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to advance to a Seventh Grade Alchemist in the future.

Thomas and Huangfu Qi announced on the spot that Lin Zhen would be promoted to an elder of the Alchemist Guild!

Furthermore, the guild could provide Lin Zhen with two World King level bodyguards. Lin Zhen had already acquired one such bodyguard, Lin Feng.

Although Lin Feng was only at the Level 2 World King stage, his Star Power had reached 1.7 million, which made him an impressive master. Moreover, the guild could provide a salary for the bodyguards, which was convenient for Lin Feng, who was busy with the store’s affairs.

Lin Feng truly became a follower now. Although he had initially resisted the identity, his attitude changed instantly once he saw the generous salary.

As for the other bodyguard, Lin Zhen was in no hurry. He would find one when the time was right.

The original small alchemy room was replaced with a separate courtyard, fully equipped with various facilities. The treatment of an elder was indeed different from that of a steward.

However, all of these were not important to Lin Zhen. What truly mattered was that he could finally concoct his Spiritual Power potions, allowing the Complete Cui Mang Spiritual Power to cultivate a Divine Infant!

Over the past three years, he had been constantly studying the information about Divine Infants and had become a master in the cultivation of Divine Infants.

Others would cultivate their Divine Infants using Spiritual Power in the usual way, but Lin Zhen was not satisfied with that.

His Divine Infant was to be used for exorcising World King experts, and when choosing a strong individual to exorcise, the right option would undoubtedly be a powerful being.

And those true strong ones all had Divine Infants. As long as their life fire hadn’t been extinguished, their Divine Infants held considerable power.

Thus, the shadow of Lin Zhen’s Divine Infant had to be more powerful than that of others.

For this matter, Lin Zhen specifically asked Lin Feng to consult with his father about ways to strengthen a Divine Infant.

Although Lin Feng was with Lin Zhen, Water Mirror knew about his every move. Knowing that it was Lin Zhen who wanted to inquire, he told Lin Zhen a piece of information he had heard in the past.

This matter could not be confirmed by Water Mirror; it was just a legend. Supposedly, when the heavens and earth were created, if the essence of energy elements could gather, it could condense into a weapon for the Divine Infant. However, this process was extremely painful. If successful, the Divine Infant would become much more powerful than other Divine Infants during battle.

After all, wielding a weapon would undoubtedly be much more formidable than being unarmed.

Lin Zhen researched this matter for a long time and finally made some progress.

The essence of the energy created by the heavens and the earth was actually the purple qi in Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Space.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had gathered all the energy elements, forming a complete ecological system in a new world. This task was not difficult for him.

Within three years, he had been continuously gathering the essence of energy elements, allowing them to condense outside the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

These energy elements could change shape at will. Lin Zhen had prepared for a long time, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

*********

“Master, how do you find my concoction of the Spiritual Power potion?”

Lin Zhen asked Thomas. Although he might surpass Thomas in some areas soon, Lin Zhen would never forget the guidance he had received during these three years.

Without Thomas’s teachings in potions, Lin Zhen could not have possibly cultivated a Divine Infant.

Thomas took the potion handed to him, examined it carefully, smelled it, tasted it, and finally gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up.

“Lin Zhen, today I understand what it means to be ‘a student surpasses the master.’ Your talent amazes me. From now on, you can graduate in this area of potion studies, especially in Spiritual Power potions. Your understanding has already surpassed mine.”

“I will never forget Master’s painstaking guidance.”

“Go ahead, I know you want to cultivate a Divine Infant. Remember, the color of your Divine Infant is the same as the color attained when you advance your Spiritual Power. Starting from the Bronze Level, Silver Level, Gold Level, Dark Force Level, Diamond Level, Sky Blue Level, and Cui Mang Level, the higher the color grade of your Divine Infant, the stronger your Spiritual Power.”

“So, at what level is Master’s Divine Infant?”

Thomas was also a Level Nine World King, so Lin Zhen decided to ask.

“Hehe, I’m ashamed. My main focus has always been on alchemy, and while I’ve been stuck at the Level Nine World King realm, my Divine Infant is only at the Late Bronze Stage.”

With that said, Thomas moved his thoughts, and a small figure appeared out of thin air.

It was a vaguely discernible male figure, resembling a one-year-old baby with bronze-colored skin, not yet at the Silver Stage.

However, the presence of this small figure caused fluctuations in Lin Zhen’s Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power.

If Thomas wanted to use his Divine Infant against Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen would currently have no power to resist.

After seeing Thomas’s Divine Infant, Lin Zhen became even more eager to cultivate his own.

After bidding farewell to Thomas, Lin Zhen returned to his courtyard, closed the door, and forbade anyone from disturbing him. It was time for his breakthrough.

Sitting on the bed with a table in front of him, Lin Zhen placed the prepared Spiritual Power potion on it.

Over the past three years, he had practiced the method of Divine Infant breakthrough countless times in his heart, ensuring he could achieve success.

The only possible difficulty might be the transformation of energy elements into divine weapons within the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

The so-called divine weapon was the Divine Infant’s weapon.

Gently closing his eyes, Lin Zhen’s thoughts swirled within his Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

Inside the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, the Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power is abundant, making the conditions for nurturing a Divine Infant fully sufficient.

However, before that, Lin Zhen must plant a divine weapon within his Spiritual Consciousness Sea, which might cause intense pain, but Lin Zhen is not afraid of pain.

As long as he does not die from pain, Lin Zhen can endure it.

He believes that Water Mirror would not deceive him, after all, his son was with him. Since he dared to say so, it must mean that he has a lot of confidence.

First, he merged the energy elements that had been condensed for many years and shaped them into a long spear.

Under the control of his Spiritual Power, the spear slowly pierced into the Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power cluster!

“Ah~~~!!!”

As the spear pierced into his consciousness sea, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but let out a roar from his throat. The pain was almost as intense as his soul passing through a black hole!

If a hundred million people attempted this, perhaps ninety million would faint on the spot, ten million would give up immediately, and no one would have the resilience to persist.

However, Lin Zhen is not one of the hundred million, even in a trillion, there might not be someone that can surpass Lin Zhen’s tolerance.

The process was so painful that Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and thrust the spear in forcefully!

With a loud rumble, his entire body spasmed, and Lin Zhen fainted from the pain, only to wake up again and faint once more.

He did not know how many times he repeated this process, but Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and never gave up. He allowed his Spiritual Power to merge with the spear while he lost track of the passage of time, going through hell by himself in the room.

On the first day, he fainted three hundred times!

On the third day, he fainted one hundred times!

On the fifth day, he fainted seven times!

By the tenth day, he only fainted once!

Gradually, he adapted to the pain. If it weren’t for his soul having passed through the black hole, he might have died from the pain. It was because his soul was strong enough that he persisted through the hellish ten days.

On the eleventh day, the pain in his mind finally disappeared.

The long spear, made from the Energy elements, had finally completely merged into the Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

“It’s about time! Damn, such pain is unbearable for humans, but luckily I managed to pull through!”

“But it was all worth it. When my divine infant is born, it will possess a weapon, giving me a significant advantage against other divine infants.”

Lin Zhen’s clothes had become wet and then dried, and dry then wet again. He shivered as he picked up a bottle of Spiritual Power potion from the table and gulped it all down!

The powerful medicinal effect charged into his mind and poured into the Spiritual Power cluster!

A wave of life energy surged within his Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Lin Zhen felt like a tiny new lifeform was about to be born.

“The second bottle!”

He picked up the second bottle of potion and poured it down again. That surge of life energy finally became clearer.

Lin Zhen didn’t care anymore, he grabbed the prepared potions on the table and poured them down one after another. Wave after wave of life energy continuously washed over Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

By the time he poured down the tenth bottle of potion, the life energy finally stopped increasing and saturated.

Lin Zhen halted his actions and focused his mind on his cultivation while waiting patiently.

At this moment, his Spiritual Consciousness Sea was like an egg, and a fetus was slowly forming in the center of the egg. The Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power began to constantly pour into the fetus, nurturing life.

Gradually, the Cui Mang Rank Spiritual Power began to decline, turning into Sky Blue.

From Sky Blue, it fell to Diamond Level, then Dark Gold.

As Dark Gold fell, it turned into Gold, and then Silver.

By the time it became Bronze, Lin Zhen’s fetus was almost formed.

In the end, the Bronze Spiritual Power also vanished, having all become nourishment for the Divine Infant. The color finally turned into a transparent white, which represented the initial stage of Spiritual Power.

Time passed day by day during this process, and in the blink of an eye, ten months had passed!

Nurturing divine infants is not an easy task, as the Spiritual Power acts as their nourishment. This is a crucial step for Martial Artists, and it usually takes ten months to succeed.

After ten months of diligent cultivation, Lin Zhen’s body was utterly exhausted, but his Spiritual Power was incredibly excited.

Because on the day when the first ten months arrived, the last trace of Bronze energy in his consciousness sea also disappeared.

At that moment, the fetus within the sea of consciousness finally broke free from its cocoon!

There was a crack in the egg-shaped Spiritual Power cluster.

Through the Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen could clearly see a chubby little boy sitting in the center of the egg. He was wielding a seven-colored long spear and slowly opening his eyes.

As the divine infant opened its eyes, it seemed to absorb the essence of heaven and earth in a single moment, becoming a unique and unparalleled presence!
