Monster Paradise

After returning to the great world from the virtual realm, Lin Huang immediately contacted Steel Fist and Epic Player from the Club.

He was not sure if there were Lords’ Kingdoms in other people’s possession, but he knew that his two colleagues from the Club who had just been in a battle with him definitely would have some.

The reason was that the two of them had just killed three Raiders together.

Moreover, the two of them had been Lords for many years, so they might also have killed other lord-level powerhouses in the past.

Within ten minutes, Lin Huang had come to an agreement with both of them.

He would trade three Lords’ bodies for three Lords’ Kingdoms.

It was a pity the two of them did not have more Lords’ Kingdoms. They had long since refined the Kingdoms of the Lords that they killed in the past.

Epic Player even stated frankly that if Lin Huang had not managed to contact them in time, both of them might have decided to refine the Kingdoms.

For lord-level powerhouses, refining other Lords’ Kingdoms did not have any boosting effects on their abilities. At most, this would just further strengthen the foundations of their own Kingdom and expand their Kingdom’s size slightly.

The reason was that the number of god sequence chains their Dao seals could control was limited. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the number of god sequence chains in their Kingdoms would already have exceeded the limit their Dao seals could manage. Even if they refined more god sequence chains, they could not convert them into abilities.

However, having three Lords’ Kingdoms was certainly better than having none at all.

After sealing the deal, Lin Huang turned off the communication page and took out his Royal Token.

He then opened the trading page.

After keying in the keywords ‘lower-rank Lord’s Kingdom’, he instantly saw information on hundreds of sellers who had this item up for bids.

He quickly clicked on them one by one.

Lin Huang felt rather frustrated after spending over half an hour reading all the information.

Most of these people were trading for rare and unusual items. There were even some Lin Huang had never heard of before.

Clearly, there were many things in the universe that the great world did not possess.

After thinking about it, he decided not to trade Black Mountain and Spy’s God’s corpse for now.

Although he knew he could definitely trade middle-rank Lords’ God’s corpses for many lower-rank Lords’ Kingdoms, he made up his mind that he would only decide after unlocking Black Mountain and the others’ storage rings.

He had only passed the four storage rings to Yang Ling recently. In Yang Ling’s current condition, he would probably not need very long to unlock them.

If there was nothing valuable in their unlocked storage rings, Lin Huang would have no option but to trade the two corpses for Lords’ Kingdoms. If there were many valuable items that could be used in exchange for a sufficient number of Lords’ Kingdoms, naturally, he was more willing to keep the God’s corpses as materials for the Queen Mothers.

At this point, Lin Huang could not help sending his consciousness into the God Territory within him. He communicated to Yang Ling through voice transmission, “Please remember to notify me as soon as you’re done unlocking those few storage rings.”

“I’ll be done with them latest by tomorrow afternoon,” Yang Ling replied immediately.

Lin Huang’s spirits instantly lifted when he heard that.

As for Death Sickle, his other channel, Lin Huang had initially not planned on contacting them. After all, prior to Buried Heaven, no Lords had emerged from Death Sickle before. The possibility of them having Lords’ bodies and Kingdoms was low.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Huang still sent Buried Heaven a message anyway to ask about the matter.

On the off-chance that they did indeed possess such items, he did not want to miss out.

However, as Lin Huang had expected, Buried Heaven’s answer was no, and he replied instantaneously.

After turning off the communication page, Lin Huang sat on the sofa in the hotel room. He browsed through Death Sickle’s forum while sending part of his consciousness into the God Territory within him. He observed the Dao seals with their various colors, all of them like eternal stars.

There were currently thirty-one Dao seal stars like that in his body.

He had obtained them from refining the Kingdoms of Zhan Zhuo, Babble, and the rest.

However, he could not refine these thirty-one Dao seals, nor could he use them.

Unlike the Sword seal, they were consolidated within Lin Huang’s body from Dao seal fragments.

These were Dao seals that had originally been whole. Although their initial Will Imprint had been erased, they were still in a self-sealed, unactivated state.

Lin Huang had tried using many ways in the virtual realm but failed to communicate with them still.

He conjectured that he might only be able to refine these Dao seals and use them for himself after he had elevated to become a Lord.

Lin Huang turned his gaze from the Dao seals and looked at the Dao seal fragments that dotted the void like stars.

He had obtained these from refining the half-step Lords’ God Territories.

For the time being, he had not figured out how he ought to deal with these thousands of Dao seal fragments.

After a moment of consideration, he decided not to think about it for now.

He sent his consciousness deep into his God Territory, where two giant spheres hovered in the void.

They were like two giant eggs floating in the sea.

These two spheres were the Kingdoms of the two middle-rank Lords, Black Mountain, and Spy.

Even though they were in a self-sealed state, their size was still comparable to a star zone.

They existed in a form like this within Lin Huang’s God Territory and had not become a part of it because Lin Huang could not refine them. He had no option but to leave them as they were for the time being.

Anyway, since their wills had been erased, the two God Territories were now in an ownerless state. They would cause no harm hovering in the air like that.

After withdrawing his consciousness from his inner world and feeling rather helpless, Lin Huang slowly began thinking of other ways to strengthen his ability.

Time passed; the night proved uneventful.

Public security on the Ricky Star was so well-maintained it was uncanny. After all, this was the territory of Precious Treasure Pavilion, the grade-7 organization. Even though there were no Lords guarding the place, there were still half-step Lords.

Furthermore, there were a great many organizations here as well, with multitudes of heavenly god-level powerhouses coming and going daily.

Naturally, there were not very many people who would dare to cause trouble here.

Lin Huang, too, enjoyed the peace and quiet.

The next morning, not long after Lin Huang had finished breakfast, a visitor came calling.

It was Epic Player from the Club.

He was still in casual attire, but his originally blue hair was now dyed a shade of manure-like yellow. Furthermore, it had been cut into an asymmetric style with one side short and the other long. The fringe on the long side curved down from his forehead, not only covering his entire right eye but also extending all the way to his lips.

Lin Huang could not even bring himself to compliment the aesthetics of Epic Player’s hairstyle.

He merely glanced at it and hurriedly averted his gaze from Epic Player’s head.

“Steel Fist said something came up at the last minute and asked me to help her handle the exchange.”

Lin Huang nodded, “I’ve just received her message.”

He did not tell Epic Player that Steel Fist’s message had been, “I won’t be coming with Epic Player this round. His hair annoys me every time I see it. He even discussed hairstyling tips with me for ages—it took me forever to get rid of him…”

“What do you think of my new hairstyle?” Epic Player suddenly pointed to his head and asked.

“It’s pretty nice. It suits you.” What else could Lin Huang say?

“I think it’s pretty nice too. Can you believe that girl Steel Fist actually said it’s hideous?!” Epic Player said in puzzlement, “She also told me that even if I shaved my head, I’d look better than I do now. I’m not One Punch Man, I won’t become more powerful if I shave my head…

“I really don’t understand women’s sense of aesthetics…”

Lin Huang secretly added to himself mentally, ‘I don’t understand your sense of aesthetics either.’
