Chapter 163 One million merit points, Lin Chen is surprised
"In that case, joining the Yanhuang Alliance is not a bad idea."
"Yes, it doesn't make sense that after the forces such as Baiyun Continent and Cangqiong Continent joined the Yanhuang Alliance, they lived a happy life and had considerable autonomy. After we join, we will live worse than them. Everyone knows the purpose of the Lin family ancestor. He just wants to use the luck of the major forces to improve his own cultivation speed. For safety, what's wrong with giving him some of the luck?"
"Yes, the Lin family's ancestor is very likely the reincarnation of the legendary supreme being. If we establish this relationship, we might even gain something."
"Since no one has any objections, then it is decided. Let's select a few strong people representing their respective forces to contact the Lin family."
"good."
“.”
After listening to the narration of the head of the Sun family, a hint of excitement flashed across the faces of the many powerful people present.
As long as they show their submission and contribute a portion of their luck, they can join the Yanhuang Alliance, gain the protection of the Lin family, and have considerable autonomy. This is completely within their acceptable range.
Therefore, the five major forces made a decision on the spot that each family would send out nine people, led by the head of their respective family or clan leader and the most powerful ancestor, to visit the Lin family in the Yanhuang Continent.
Lin Chen, who was unaware of their plan, was still drinking tea and chatting with his wife in his own courtyard, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Lin family at the foot of the mountain. The atmosphere was very warm.
This retreat lasted for more than a thousand years.
After consuming most of the merit points, the number of cave heavens in Lin Chen's body has increased from thirty-eight at the beginning to forty-five, truly reaching the perfection of the cave heaven realm. At the same time, with the nourishment of the corpse of the Demon Saint Emperor and a large number of treasures, the small thousand worlds have climbed to the peak of the ninth level of the small thousand worlds, and are only one step away from the middle thousand worlds.
Based on the comparison of the cultivation levels of the nine elders from the outer courtyard of Zhenshi College who came to pick up Lin Xia and others more than a thousand years ago.
Lin Chen has enough confidence and is not inferior to him.
In other words, his current combat power, when he bursts out with all his strength, is comparable to that of an ordinary Realm Lord in the early stage.
There has been a qualitative breakthrough in strength.
"Now the Lin family has increased the speed of obtaining merit points to 80 merit points per year. At this rate, I will need to accumulate merit points for about 50 years to open up a new cave. If I want to open up 480 million caves, I don't know how long it will take to successfully open up the cave with the merit points obtained by the Lin family. I must find a new way to obtain resources."
As he thought about this, Lin Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, his way of cultivation was completely different from that of the Zhenwu World. He did not need to merge the cave heavens in his body into one and turn the virtual into the real. As long as he continued to open up new cave heavens, he could improve his own strength.
And this requires enormous energy.
"The resources seized from the Xuan family can only support me to open two or three cave heavens at most before they are exhausted. Adding the merit points accumulated during the period of opening up the cave heavens, I can only open up about five cave heavens before I fall into the embarrassing situation of having no resources available."
"But by then, I can also try to completely refine the innate Dao body essence in my body, and my strength should be greatly improved."
After his strength broke through to the Realm Lord Realm, Lin Chen felt that he could actively refine the innate Tao body essence in his body instead of passively absorbing it.
However, blindly practicing asceticism would take a heavy toll on a person's mental state, so he did not remain in seclusion forever. He would come out from time to time to reunite with his wife, or to inspect and give advice to his grandchildren, and he lived a fulfilling life.
The warm situation did not last long.
As the third-generation head of the Lin family, Lin Xiyang, came personally to inform him that the leaders of the five first-class forces in the Chaos Sea, including the Sun Family and Tianxin Sect, were visiting with their ancestors, Lin Chen was surprised and brought Chu Siting to the reception hall.
"We have met Senior Lin."
Seeing Lin Chen's figure, everyone who was originally sitting in their seats drinking tea suddenly stood up, speaking respectfully and looking at him with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
There are quite a few of them, but we have only heard of them but never seen them.
Now that I see a legendary figure in the sea of chaos, I can’t help but feel curious.
"No need to be so polite."
"Fellow Taoists, please take a seat."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, said a few polite words, and quickly got to the point.
"I wonder why you fellow Taoists have come to visit my Lin family?"
"The five of us would like to join the Yanhuang Alliance. I wonder if you can accept us?"
Hearing this, the head of the Sun family and others looked at each other, without any embarrassment, and stated the purpose of their trip in a very straightforward manner.
"oh?"
"Fellow Daoist, are you afraid of the demons?"
"Yes, a hundred thousand years is undoubtedly a very long time for ordinary people, but for cave realm masters like you and me, it is just a blink of an eye."
The strong men from the five major forces, including the Sun family, were not surprised that Lin Chen could guess the reason. After telling the former their thoughts and plans in detail, they fell silent and just looked at Lin Chen with expectation.
“I see.”
"If that's the case, I welcome it."
Naturally, Lin Chen would not refuse something that has only benefits and no harm.
Anyway, this alliance is just a means for him to harvest merit points. He has no intention of using it to enslave many forces. He disdains to do so, and there is no need to do so.
The Sun family and other five major forces joining the Yanhuang Alliance will definitely enable him to gain a large amount of merit points. Coupled with the integration of five medium-sized continents that are larger than the Yanhuang Continent, his benefits will definitely be beyond imagination.
For Lin Chen, whose merit points had run out, this was like someone offering him a pillow just when he was sleepy.
It’s so comfortable~!
As for the difficulty of integrating the medium-sized continent, for Lin Chen, whose strength has reached the realm of realm master, it is not too easy but it is not much different. It is impossible for him to fail. Therefore, he does not have so many concerns.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Senior Lin."
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, the strong men from the five major forces were extremely excited and expressed their gratitude again and again.
Lin Chen responded with a smile.
They said goodbye.
They plan to quickly move their respective continents to the vicinity of the Yanhuang Continent so that they can merge successfully at an early date.
Naturally, Lin Chen would not refuse this.
The movement of moving the continent was very loud, and it could not be concealed from the major forces in the Chaos Sea. When the five first-class forces such as the Sun Family and the Tianxin Sect took action, the news about their joining the Yanhuang Alliance spread throughout the Chaos Sea.
"What? The Sun family and other five first-class forces have joined the Yanhuang Alliance? Is this true? How come there is no sign of this?"
"How can this be false? They have already officially released the announcement."
"That's right. These five first-class forces have relatively shallow foundations. If they don't seek protection from a powerful force, they will not be able to survive in the chaotic era of the future."
"The Yanhuang Alliance seems to be a force founded by the Lin family's ancestor. I heard that they treat the forces that join them very well and give them a lot of autonomy. Our sect was also discussing joining before."
“.”
Countless creatures heard the news and rushed towards the place where the strong men from the five major forces used their great magical powers to move the continent, while discussing with their companions around them.
Creatures who are unaware of the twists and turns may be shocked, but for creatures who are aware of the future situation, the actions of these five major forces are nothing more than preparations for a rainy day and advance planning.
The Yanhuang Alliance has the Lin family's ancestor, the strongest man in the Chaos Sea who is capable of killing the Holy Emperor, so it is natural that the Sun family and others would choose to join.
But that’s not all.
Just when everyone was discussing the actions of the Sun family and other five major forces.
A new announcement once again caused the sea of chaos to boil.
"Batian Sect announced an alliance with Jiuyou Sect and Xuanling Sect, two of the nine top forces, and Tianzong, Xingyue Sect, and Qixing Sect, among the thirty-six first-class forces."
Boom! As the news came out, the entire chaotic sea was suddenly in an uproar, and countless creatures rushed to tell each other and express their excited emotions.
"Oh my god, what is this for? Why are they all forming an alliance?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"First, the five major forces joined the Yanhuang Alliance, and then the six famous forces including the Tyrant Sect formed a sect alliance. Then, the other three hegemonic forces will not also establish their own alliances, right?"
"It is very likely that the four major overlord forces all have a long history and unfathomable foundation. The Tyrant Sect has already started to form an alliance, and they definitely don't want to fall behind him."
"That's right, but I don't know what the Central Imperial City means. Will they form an alliance?"
“.”
Amid the heated discussions of countless creatures.
Sure enough, not long after the Ba Tian Sect released this announcement.
Soon after, the Ji family, the Leiming Dynasty, and the Yunmengze also issued announcements to form their own alliances.
For a moment, all the major forces that had originally planned to wait and see could not help but panic.
When the four overlord-level forces formed an alliance, they all brought along forces with which they had a better relationship. This created a very embarrassing situation, with two top-level forces and nearly twenty first-rate forces being left unattended.
This won't work.
If this continues, they, who have no organization, will inevitably be oppressed by other forces in the future and become weakened, which is something they do not want to see.
Therefore, countless forces in the entire chaotic sea began to surge with undercurrents.
"The sect alliance, family alliance, dynasty alliance, and the four alliances of alchemists, weapon refiners, formation masters, and talisman makers, plus the Yanhuang Alliance that has existed for nearly ten thousand years, are forcing us to make a choice."
"What can we do? If we don't join one of the forces, it means we will be eliminated in the near future. If you can accept that, you can choose not to join either side."
"For some reason, the Central Imperial City has not made any moves so far. Does the Central Saint Emperor still want to remain neutral?"
"Which side are you going to join?"
“.”
The remaining unorganized forces began to communicate with the forces that had not joined the alliance.
The situation in the Sea of Chaos changed so quickly that they were completely unprepared.
However, despite the complaints, the major forces are still quite capable of taking action.
They actively communicated and tested with major alliances, attempting to make comparisons before making a choice.
In response to this, all major forces accepted all offers and offered favorable conditions.
However, even if the four loose alliances organized by Yunmengze are formed, they still have to hand over about 30% of their resources every year as the foundation of the alliance. This is unlike the Yanhuang Alliance, which only requires you to symbolically hand over 10% of the resources and also retains a great deal of autonomy for everyone.
Therefore, among the remaining twenty first-class forces and top forces, a large number chose to join the Yanhuang Alliance.
A few were pulled in by old acquaintances in the major leagues.
For a time, the situation in the sea of chaos began to gradually stabilize, forming a situation of one superpower and many strong countries.
"This is changing too fast. If someone had told me a hundred years ago that the Chaos Sea would form a situation where there would be one superpower and many strong forces, I would have sprayed him to death with a mouthful of salt soda."
"Who says it's not true? However, for us grassroots people, this is actually a good thing. At least after the fusion of the continents controlled by various forces, not only is the area much larger than before, but even the concentration of spiritual energy has increased a lot, almost catching up with the Central Continent."
"Yes, with this concentration of spiritual energy, I am confident that the time it takes to break through to the Divine Ability Realm can be shortened by a hundred years."
"Not only that, it is also easier to find natural materials and treasures suitable for our own cultivation, and it is also much cheaper to buy resources suitable for our use."
"You know, it would be great if all the continents in our Chaos Sea merged together."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the many creatures present lit up.
Just the fusion of the continents controlled by various alliances has caused such a big change. If all the continents were merged together, it is estimated that the concentration of spiritual energy will increase dramatically, various natural treasures and cultivation resources will be more abundant, and the difficulty of their cultivation will be further reduced.
By then, they have no idea how happy they will be.
However, when they thought about the situation of the major forces, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
It is not easy to integrate all the continents.
There would be no possibility unless the ancestor of the Lin family stepped in and used ruthless means.
But this would be somewhat against the harmony of nature, and the ancestor of the Lin family probably wouldn't do this.
At the same time, Yanhuang Continent.
During this nearly one hundred years, Lin Chen continuously used his great magical powers to merge all the continents into the Yanhuang Continent, so that he finally heard the mechanical and cold prompt of the system in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully integrated the twenty-three continents, promoted the Yanhuang Continent to a top-level medium-sized continent, and obtained the Heavenly Dao Merit Reward of the Zhenwu World. ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 million merit points. ]
One million? Hearing this number, Lin Chen's breathing became rapid, and a hint of uncontrollable surprise flashed across his face.
You know, the Lin family only generates 80 merit points a year.
It would take the Lin family more than 10,000 years to save up one million.
If it were converted into resources, once Lin Chen had finished refining it, it would be enough for him to open up two hundred caves in succession. (End of this chapter)
