Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Wang Yi gazed into the void, breathing a sigh of relief.

The killing intent mark on his body had finally vanished!

He was no longer suppressed, and the Town Recall Scroll could be used again.

"That Black Dragon Venerable was like a mere Mortal before the Tenth Rank Monkey King. He couldn’t use any of his techniques and was just bludgeoned to death with a few swings of the staff! Strength and weakness are truly relative!"

Wang Yi exclaimed, his gaze falling upon the Star Vortex in mid-air.

In that battle, the nine Starlight Rivers had been destroyed beyond repair, but they had condensed into a Star Vortex.

’This is called a Star Vortex? Even Black Dragon Venerable was wary of it. It must be extraordinary!’

Wang Yi studied the Star Vortex, not daring to be careless. As he cautiously drew closer, a thought crossed his mind, and he suddenly received a system notification: "Ding! Refining the current Star Vortex will consume 120,000,000 Chaos Energy. Do you wish to refine it?"

’Hmm? What’s going on? Why can this Star Vortex be refined?’

Wang Yi’s spirits lifted. The Refinement of the Star Vortex was definitely not an effect of the Commanding Mountains and Rivers skill; it had to be an ability from his Mountain and River Divine Techniques.

’If it can be refined, I can’t pass this up!’

Wang Yi silently made his choice. Immediately, as 120,000,000 Chaos Energy was consumed, the Star Vortex floating in the void collapsed into a point of light. It shot into the space between Wang Yi’s eyebrows, occupying one of the river Refinement slots.

Then, a stream of information miraculously appeared in his mind.

[Star Vortex: A cosmic marvel. This peculiar energy vortex has been refined. It can be integrated into a Starlight River or other items to automatically generate Starlight Flying Swords, forming a river of starlight!]

’A cosmic marvel...’

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that this single Star Vortex might be even more valuable than all nine Starlight Rivers combined.

’That Black Dragon Venerable didn’t drop anything when he died—not even Lord Experience. What a rip-off... My losses in this battle were immense. Never mind the Chaos Energy I spent, my territory’s ecology has been severely degraded. I have no idea what condition Huaguo Mountain is in. And what did I get for it? Besides the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell and one Star Vortex, nothing!’

Wang Yi shook his head and proceeded to inspect the information on the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Divine Techniques.

The original Grand Celestial Immortal Spell was something of a skill collection, containing numerous minor skills such as Tengyun, Riding the Mist, Fireproofing, Water Avoidance, Wall-piercing, Earth Escape, Giant Strength, Thousand-Mile Eye, Shunfeng Ear, Invulnerability, the Heaven and Earth Technique, Three Heads and Six Arms, Immortality, and Soul Emergence.

However, the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell was primarily a Technique for strengthening one’s foundation, allowing a Mortal body to achieve a Leakless Immortal Body and, eventually, a Daluo Golden Immortal Body. To put it bluntly, it enhanced one’s Physique and strengthened physical defense!

In addition, the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell also reduced the Lord Experience needed to learn and upgrade skills, as well as the proficiency required for skill upgrades.

This skill could be upgraded. It required a large amount of Lord Experience and could be raised to a maximum of LV5.

Wang Yi might have been short on other things, but he was flush with Lord Experience. The achievement reward for reaching a population of ten billion alone had been ten million Lord Experience.

However, the experience needed to upgrade the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell was staggering, even more ridiculous than upgrading Commanding Mountains and Rivers. After he raised it to LV5, he was left with less than three million Lord Experience!

With the skill maxed out, all its Minor Magic was unlocked. From now on, the Lord Experience he needed to learn and upgrade other skills would be reduced by 80%. The required proficiency for skill upgrades was also reduced by 80%.

As for the enhancements after the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell became a Divine Technique, all its minor skills were upgraded into Minor Divine Techniques. Furthermore, the Divine Body, King Grand Grade, was extremely powerful. He became the third freely-moving Divine Body in the territory, after Wang Pingyi and Wang Panwu.

To be more specific, King Grand Grade had a wandering nature, able to move freely within the territory using Tengyun and Riding the Mist, or Wall-piercing and Earth Escape. He had no fixed abode. He was also a grand master; upon meeting a destined person, he would teach them a few Minor Divine Techniques!

’With the Grand Celestial Immortal Spell and Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques, my foundation is now set. In the future, as the territory develops and my Divine Bodies grow, I’ll become stronger. Conversely, if the territory weakens, so will I.’

Wang Yi mused to himself as he took out a Town Recall Scroll.

He was in an unfamiliar place. His battle with Black Dragon Venerable had caused a massive commotion, and he worried it might attract unnecessary trouble. He decided to return to his territory first and lay low for a while!

But at that very moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. "Young friend, would you be willing to join the Great Profound Divine Country!"

"Hmm? Who’s there?"

Wang Yi was greatly alarmed and immediately spun around to see a Yellow Robe Daoist.

[Shen Fengzhou: Level 398 Profound Sect Dao Lin, Xuanmen Genius, Cultivator, Late-stage Tribulation Crossing, Great Profound Divine Country Transmission Envoy.]

Simple information about the Yellow Robe Daoist appeared in Wang Yi’s vision. The Yellow Robe Daoist, however, smiled and said, "Young friend, do not be alarmed. This humble Daoist is the Transmission Envoy of the Great Profound Divine Country, stationed in the Mountain and River World. Young friend, you have Unlimited Potential. If you join our Great Profound Divine Country and receive its protection, you will surely soar to incredible heights in the future!"

"The Great Profound Divine Country?"

"Yes. The power of our Great Profound Divine Country is no weaker than that of the Mingyu Divine Country. The one you just killed, young friend, was a Destruction Envoy of the Mingyu Divine Country. If you are willing to join our Great Profound Divine Country, this humble Daoist will ask the Divine Lord to intervene. He can definitely ensure your safety and save you from unnecessary trouble in the future."

"I’m sorry, but I have no intention of joining a Divine Country right now!"

Wang Yi didn’t really understand what joining a Divine Country entailed. He couldn’t grasp the finer points and didn’t want to rashly accept the invitation.

The Yellow Robe Daoist smiled. "This humble Daoist will not force you, young friend. I am stationed year-round at the nearby Purple Jade Mountain. If you ever intend to join a Divine Country, please be sure to consider our Great Profound Divine Country!"
