Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 463: Chapter 321: Ice Soul True Monarch (2)

The character was the size of a fist, slowly rotating within a miniature galaxy about ten meters in diameter. It emitted a golden glow and somewhat resembled the character for ”fire.”

’This character? It’s the Ancient Divine Language... a Star Vortex?’

Wang Yi was startled. The Ancient Divine Language didn’t have fixed characters; the same symbol could express different meanings in different contexts.

To someone who understood the Ancient Divine Language, its characters were unmistakable. Wang Yi recognized it at once—the golden symbol was undoubtedly from the Ancient Divine Language. As for its meaning, it seemed to be related to concepts like ”Star Vortex” or ”pulse.” With his current proficiency, that was all he could decipher.

’I’ll choose this one!’

With no time to overthink it, Wang Yi rushed into the starry vortex. As if shattering a galaxy, he swept his hand through it and scooped up the golden character.

The moment it reached his hand, the golden character rapidly merged into his body, as if it had burrowed straight through his skin.

Instantly, a Dark Gold mark appeared between Wang Yi’s eyebrows, resembling the character for ”fire.”

”DING! Origin Secret Treasure successfully selected. Congratulations on obtaining the Ice Soul Talisman. This item has been bound to your soul!”

”DING! Your fated opportunity has ended. You are about to leave Origin Divine Hall No. 996996!”

”DING! Task complete: Survived for 24 hours on the Fourth Ark. Congratulations on receiving 10,000 Star Yuan.”

”DING! Opening Ark Treasure Chest... Congratulations! You have received 10,000 Star Yuan, one Origin Divine Hall Pass, one Star Realm Divine Armor Transformation Scroll, and one B-Rank Soldier Talisman!”

”DING! The descent mission has ended. You will now be forcefully teleported to the High-Dimensional Divine Hall. Enjoy the game!”

As the system prompts sounded, the force of a compulsory teleportation descended upon Wang Yi. He felt a powerful tug, and after a moment of disorientation, he found himself out of the Origin Divine Hall, away from the Fourth Ark, and standing directly inside the High-Dimensional Divine Hall.

’It feels like a dream!’

Wang Yi touched the spot between his eyebrows, a sense of unreality washing over him. But the burning heat from that spot, along with the strange new mark, assured him that it had all been real.

’So that Origin Secret Treasure is called the Ice Soul Talisman? I wonder what it does. What will happen now that it’s inside my body?’

Wang Yi finally relaxed, no longer in a hurry. He sat down cross-legged and began to quietly study the Ice Soul Talisman.

Soon, Wang Yi could feel the presence of the Ice Soul Talisman. It seemed to be melting, spreading throughout his body in some inexplicable manner.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded.

”DING! The Supreme Divine Body has been passively activated. The Ice Soul Talisman is releasing the Power of Origin Law. It will transform your Physique and forge for you the Ice Soul Body!”

”DING! You have automatically obtained the [Ice Soul True Monarch] Divine Technique. This Divine Technique is currently forming. It is a Body Refining Divine Technique that will comprehensively enhance your physical attributes and soul strength. You are about to obtain the Divine Body [True Monarch Wang]. [True Monarch Wang] will descend upon Fangcun Mountain to practice the Great Dao!”

”DING! The Ice Soul True Monarch Divine Technique also comes with the power of a Star Vortex pulse. Congratulations on obtaining the Minor Divine Technique [Ice Soul Divine Sword]!”

As the system prompts faded, Wang Yi’s status information updated. His level began to skyrocket, and in a triumphant surge, it quickly reached level 480!

At that moment, the [Ice Soul True Monarch] Divine Technique fully formed. Wang Yi exhaled a cloud of frigid air. When he opened his eyes, his gaze solidified into a three-foot-long beam of tangible light.

’Ice Soul True Monarch... My body has been transformed again, and the increase in strength is obvious. My physical body is stronger, and my soul seems to be stronger as well. What’s more, the transformation is still ongoing. That Ice Soul Talisman is still working, as if it’s trying to turn my body into a Star Vortex. If so, I’ll be able to conjure starlight attacks with a mere wave of my hand. That must be the Ice Soul Divine Sword! It comes with a powerful freezing ability, and that freezing effect can even erupt a second time!’

With a flash of understanding, Wang Yi drew the Cyan Blade Sword from his back. He ran his right index finger along the blade and gave it a light flick, causing a cloud of icy mist to immediately condense around it.

”Go!”

Wang Yi thrust the sword forward. A burst of cold energy, like a beam of starlight, shot out from its tip. It instantly struck the distant wall of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, causing a patch of frost to form as if the spot had been flash-frozen.

CRACK! The frost then erupted a second time, its intensity abruptly increasing.

This was the elemental attack of the [Ice Soul True Monarch].

Right now, Wang Yi’s body was like a massive Star Vortex constantly generating frigid energy. He could launch beams of starlight from this vortex—and that starlight was the Ice Soul Divine Sword!

It wasn’t just simple starlight. Befitting its name, the Divine Sword possessed immense piercing and freezing power. It could also erupt spontaneously, delivering pulse-like attacks.

Because his transformation wasn’t complete, Wang Yi’s icy starlight could only pulse once for now. After the initial freezing effect, it would trigger a second, more powerful burst of cold over a larger area.

’Interesting. I need to find a target to test the power of this new skill!’

Just as this thought crossed Wang Yi’s mind, the entire High-Dimensional Divine Hall suddenly began to shake.

Swiftly, the Divine Hall shattered, dissolving into motes of light as it broke apart.

In just a few breaths, the entire High-Dimensional Divine Hall vanished, taking the asteroid it rested on with it.

Wang Yi landed on a World Line. He gazed up at the Starry Sky and said, ”I’ve claimed my newcomer benefits. If I’m not mistaken, there should be a third one on its way. I wonder what it will be!”

Newly established Royal Courts received special attention from the system, a fact Wang Yi had learned by interrogating Chen Tong. To put it simply, the benefits usually came in three waves, distributed one after another after the initial Royal Court rewards were granted.

Wang Yi’s Strongest Royal Court had already received two of these benefits. The first was the Mysterious Shop dispatched by the system, and the second was this special High-Dimensional Divine Hall.

The third benefit, then, should be distributed in the coming days, and Wang Yi was eagerly anticipating it.

A few moments later, Wang Yi left the World Line. He didn’t plan on leaving his territory until he had received the third benefit.

Wang Yi returned to the Huaguo Mountain City Lord Mansion, where he bathed and changed his clothes. Afterward, he took out his Luck Blind Boxes and started opening them for fun.

This time, Wang Yi spent a full two days opening blind boxes—over five thousand in total. In the process, the Luck Blind Box item itself was upgraded to Seven-Color Quality five times.

As for his haul, it was naturally immense. His favorite items were the [Ancestral Industry: Academy +4] and the [Star-picking Tower Construction Drawings +5].

The first item, when used, constructed an ”Academy.” This Academy was actually more like a Sect; it didn’t teach academics but instead housed an Ancestral Teacher, Ancestral Tutors, and Ancestral Senior Brothers who specialized in teaching combat.

Students who entered the Ancestral Academy had a chance of receiving a class promotion.

Furthermore, the Ancestral Academy was a for-profit institution. Anyone who wanted to study there had to pay in Gold Coins!

The price in Gold Coins was set by the system, which Wang Yi couldn’t interfere with. The profits generated would belong to the owner of the industry.

’I’m accumulating more and more ancestral industries. In the future, I can pass these down to my descendants...’

As Wang Yi mulled this over, he walked out of the Eco-Castle and constructed the [Ancestral Industry: Academy].

The Academy was built right next to the Hundred Skills Academy. Compared to the clean and tidy appearance of the Hundred Skills Academy, this Ancestral Academy looked like an ancient ruin that had just been unearthed, and it even came with its own Ancestral Teacher.

The Ancestral Teacher was a level 360 Bronze Puppet with growth potential. He could continue to ”excavate” within the Academy and had a high chance of digging up ”Instructors,” ”Scholar’s Attendants,” and the like.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the functions of the Bronze Academy, Wang Yi constructed the Star-picking Tower.

The Star-picking Tower was an Octagonal Wooden Tower. Despite its name implying it could ”pick stars,” its total height was merely three hundred meters!

The original version of the Star-picking Tower was purely a scenic structure, but Wang Yi’s was an enhanced version. It was not just a landmark but also a resource-generating building. It had a miniature nebula hovering above it, and no matter the time of day, looking up from within the tower revealed a brilliant, starry sky!

Moreover, one could actually pick stars in the Star-picking Tower!

The stars plucked from the sky would transform into random items, though there was no telling what one might get.

It was somewhat similar to ”fishing.”

Wang Yi tried picking a star in the Star-picking Tower. DING! A system prompt sounded—he had actually plucked a Cosmic Spaceship.

This Cosmic Spaceship was named the [Fire Dragon]. It was dragon-shaped and 325 meters long. When it flew through the sky, it looked just like a soaring True Dragon, making it hard to tell from the real thing.
