Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1188 Sword Palace!_1 Chapter 1185: Chapter 1188 Sword Palace!_1 This time, the transformation was the most satisfying one Lin Zhen had experienced in his cultivation journey—not only had his Divine Body regained its vitality, but it had also given him a fighting chance against the God King.

Although Lin Zhen had previously cultivated to the third layer of the Nine Seals Stacking Skill, he still lacked absolute confidence when facing the God King.

Temporary advantages might grant him a brief upper hand, but they weren’t a fundamental solution.

Only absolute strength could give a person absolute confidence and a sense of security.

The lotus could enhance his combat power and protect his body, both of which Lin Zhen considered crucial.

Lin Zhen even spent a long period training in the Dimensional Arena; he only ended his cultivation when he had fully adapted.

When Lin Zhen finally opened his eyes, he saw Garcia was anxiously pacing near him.

…

Lin Zhen withdrew the world he had created and appeared before Garcia.

“Garcia, what are you doing here?”

On seeing Lin Zhen materialize out of nowhere, Garcia paused and then smiled: “Master, you finally appeared.

If you hadn’t shown up now, the wasteland expedition could have ended.”

“What?

It’s about to end?”

Startled, Lin Zhen quickly checked the time.

He was astonished to find that he had been cultivating for over a year and two months!

This much time had passed, and Lin Zhen hadn’t realized how quickly it had flown by!

He was somewhat relieved that he made it out just in time.

If he emerged after the wasteland expedition had ended, he might have found himself in the dangerous Volcano Group.

It was a timely reminder that he should only cultivate for extended periods of time when he had plenty of it to spare.

“It’s been so long.

Did you guys gain anything during that time?”

Garcia shook his head, “Master, after you disappeared here, we’ve just been waiting patiently in the nearby region.

The volcano had erupted four times in that period.

Twice in the Violent Ape King’s area, once in the Ghoul Corpse King’s area and only once in our direction.

The eruption produced a high-grade long blade.”

“Oh!

High Grade Arms.

That’s impressive.

Didn’t you manage to get it?”

“No, the place of eruption was a bit off.

At the time, it was a dispute between the Sick Ghost and others.

However, the Quasi-God Kings combined forces and even defeated the Sick Ghost.

It was considered a great luck for him to stay alive.”

Lin Zhen nodded in understanding; these Quasi-God Kings were not simpletons, and they understood the power of teamwork when confronted with a stronger party.

Lin Zhen did a quick calculation; there were still over three months until the end of the wasteland expedition, and another volcanic eruption was anticipated within the next few days.

There would definitely be one more eruption at the end, totaling two more times.

However, nobody would likely stick around for the last one due to its coincidence with the major eruption of the Volcano Group, which would threaten their lives.

According to patterns and probability, at least one of the two eruptions should occur in their vicinity.

“Master, the wasteland expedition is about to end.

The eruption in the next few days will probably be our last chance.

The previous times did not yield much, but this time, based on everyone’s experience, we might at least get High Grade Arms.

We absolutely cannot miss it!”

Without Lin Zhen leading the way, Garcia and the others felt uncertain.

However, with Lin Zhen’s reappearance, renewed confidence flooded into Garcia regarding the battle for the arms.

Lin Zhen nodded and touched the Treasure-seeking Vine on his wrist.

The Treasure-seeking Vine hadn’t been put to use after its evolution since he’d been cultivating.

But this time was different.

The Treasure-seeking Vine could predict the appearance of treasures, accurately determining where they would land.

This would be an enormous advantage for Lin Zhen in the skirmish to come.

“Don’t worry, the treasure that emerges this time will definitely be ours.

No one can snatch it away.”

Lin Zhen instructed, “All four of you, assemble now.

In the meantime, try to grab a free-flying satellite.

After the emergence of the treasure and its eruption, you four should leave the Mirror Lake Continent.”

Having followed him for quite some time, Lin Zhen didn’t want to put their lives at risk.

When a suitable opportunity arose, he could set them free.

All their wealth had been taken by him, leaving them with only the weapons in their hands.

Lin Zhen felt a bit guilty.

Garcia and the others, who were effectively Lin Zhen’s slaves and his most loyal subordinates, immediately agreed to his command without any objections.

Garcia immediately sought out the Sick Ghost and the others to discuss the best opportunity to raid a free-flying satellite.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen sat there, instructing the Treasure-seeking Vine to sense for the next appearance of treasure.

The Treasure-seeking Vine’s sensing range covered ten thousand kilometers.

There were some oscillations of treasure on other sides, but the greatest one still came from beneath the volcano.

Lin Zhen could sense that there were two powerful auras of treasure inside the volcano!

This meant that the volcano could still erupt twice – one was imminent, and the other would be in three months when the Mirror Lake Continent was about to close.

*********

Lin Zhen waited patiently, and two days swiftly passed.

By noon, there was finally a stir.

“Hm… the spirit of treasure is rising!”

The earth began to tremble slightly.

The tremors gradually intensified; the volcano was about to erupt.

Everyone around the Volcano Area became excitable with intensified attention.

Everyone knew that the current eruption, almost the last one, must have good treasures.

As for the eruption three months later, hardly anyone would dare stay here, so this was their last opportunity.

“Everyone, get ready!

If the treasure comes in our direction, we must seize it by all means!”

“Damn right, if we pull this off and I advance to be a God King afterward, I’d also have some wealth.”

Lin Zhen was alert at all times, believing that the eruption’s trajectory should be towards the direction of the Quasi-God Kings, according to his calculations.

The Treasure-seeking Vine kept reminding Lin Zhen of the treasure’s emergence direction.

As the spirit of the treasure rose higher and higher, it finally erupted out of the volcano.

“Damn it!

It’s not in our direction; it’s actually towards the Ghoul Corpse King!

Probability is indeed unreliable!”

Lin Zhen sensed immediately that the spirit of the treasure was heading towards the Ghoul Corpse King.

Despite this, Lin Zhen was not ready to give up.

With a thought, the wings of the Demon God appeared on his back, lifting him rapidly into the sky towards the Ghoul Corpse King’s direction.

Many of the Quasi-God Kings followed suit.

Though not as fast as Lin Zhen, they were still quick enough.

Even though the treasure was headed towards the Ghoul Corpse King’s region, this was their last opportunity, and none of them wanted to miss it.

Similarly, on the other side of the volcano, a powerful presence soared into the sky and rushed over.

It was the Violent Ape King, who had also arrived!

However, Lin Zhen was the fastest.

As he approached the Ghoul Corpse King’s territory, he finally saw the true face of the treasure!

It was a massive flying palace, similar to a sword box, with eighteen sword holes!

When Lin Zhen cast his Spiritual Power on it, he was immediately filled with excitement.

It was a High Grade Flying Palace, and it also had another identity.
