Chapter 1413 - Item Card—Time Cabin (2/2)

After the enthusiasm in suppressing Purple Crow had died down, the Union Government and the other organizations began to resume their explorations of wastelands and ruins, continuing to h.o.a.rd resources frantically in preparation for battle.

Meanwhile, Dynasty and Misery continued to search for where the remaining members of Purple Crow were hiding and eradicated them through overt and covert approaches respectively.

As the days pa.s.sed, the number of Elemental Enlightenments that Lin Huang mastered every month increased, bolstered by the effect of the Epiphany Cards.

In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by and Lin Huang had mastered another ten Elemental Enlightenments—an increase of more than twice his usual.

He did not come out of closed-door cultivation; instead, he dialed Huang Tianfu’s number.

“How is the situation in the outside world these past few months?”

“These three months have been calm. Except for the hullabaloo during the eradication of Purple Crow, all the major organizations have resumed their original status quo. Under our joint efforts with Misery, the remaining members of Purple Crow who escaped have now been completely dealt with.

“There hasn’t been much happening at the Abyss Brink either. All the major organizations now have people keeping a close eye on it; if there’s even a whisper of trouble we’ll know.

“The exploration of the ruins and wastelands and the acquisition of resources are also going very smoothly. Except for the first month when most of the Virtual G.o.ds partic.i.p.ated in the elimination of Purple Crow when progress slowed down slightly, things have gone back to normal.

“However, there’s something that I think I had better let you know. The Union Government might have become aware of the existence of the Sword Servants. While partic.i.p.ating in the siege of the Purple Crow headquarters, Sword168 made a move. Although his actual combat strength was concealed at that time and he restrained himself, he was still noticed.”

“If they know, then they know.” Lin Huang no longer cared about whether or not the Sword Servants’ ident.i.ties were revealed. “It will be fine as long as they are not too high-profile.”

“Is there anything happening over in Misery?” Lin Huang asked again.

“Apart from when Zhi Ji called me once previously to discuss the suppression of Purple Crow, we have not been in contact since. After the Union Government and the others withdrew from the siege, the people of Misery disguised themselves as members of Dynasty to partic.i.p.ate in seeing to the aftermath. Any outsiders all thought that the follow-up matters were taken care of by Dynasty; Misery’s role was not revealed.

“I don’t know much about the situation afterward on his side, and there’s been no news about Misery on the Internet. For any specifics, it’s best that Your Majesty asks Zhi Ji directly.”

Lin Huang nodded. “Oh yes, has Lin Xin come out of closed-door cultivation?”

“No, Mr. Fu checked last month and she is still in normal closed-door cultivation.”

“How about Xiao Mo? Is there anything out of the ordinary on his side?” Lin Huang was still not completely at ease about the Crow G.o.d situation.

“Xiao Mo has been in closed-door cultivation since he came back three months ago. He hasn’t come out or contacted me,” Huang Tianfu returned.

“Then there should be no problem…” Lin Huang muttered in a low voice.

“Your Majesty, when are you going to come out of closed-door cultivation?” Huang Tianfu could not help asking.

“I’m not sure yet…” Lin Huang was still not satisfied with the improvement in his abilities over the last three months and he was reluctant to exit closed-door cultivation like this. “I may still need some time.”

After hanging up the call with Huang Tianfu, Lin Huang chatted with Zhi Ji for a while about Misery.

Aside from partic.i.p.ating in the punitive expedition against Purple Crow, everything on Misery’s end was also calm.

Once he had ended the call with Zhi Ji, Lin Huang frowned slightly. His frustrations did not stem from the outside world, but from within himself.

Currently, his combat level could improve no further; of all the main approaches he could use to increase his abilities, the only remaining avenues open to him were advancement in Sword Dao true meaning and the mastery of more G.o.d Rules and Elemental Enlightenments.

However, even if he used Epiphany Cards, elevating his Sword Dao true meaning and mastering the various Rule Bending Powers would still require a great deal of time.

Right now what he lacked most was time.

One and a half years had pa.s.sed out of his previously antic.i.p.ated three years, and the invasion of the great world could happen at any time. Even if the invasion did not begin until a year and a half later, based on his current cultivation progress, any improvements that a year and a half could make in his abilities would be insufficient to satisfy him.

“Xiao Hei, besides the Epiphany Card, are there any other cards that could speed up my cultivation and also be compounded with the Epiphany Card?” Lin Huang could not help asking.

“There are several, but the one that best suits your current situation would be the Item Card—Time Cabin.”
