Chapter 1194: Chapter 1197 Nine-tailed King_1 Chapter 1194: Chapter 1197 Nine-tailed King_1 Lin Zhen’s plan was perfect: flying all the way and cultivating peacefully in the Sword Palace, then he would enter seclusion once he reached the Skywind Valley, followed by enlightenment and return.

In the beginning, everything progressed as planned.

Lin Zhen was doing great in his cultivation in the palace.

After one full year, he had passed the twenty-seventh level of the Heavenly Platform.

Once he passed the twenty-seventh level, the points of his dark matter had increased by thirty in each attribute!

“So the later the level in the Heavenly Platform, the more dark matter points increase.

In that case, the twenty-eighth level would increase by forty, and the twenty-ninth level would increase by fifty!”

“By the twenty-ninth level, I should be able to condense the Gold Element Divine Avatar and by the thirty-first level, I should be able to condense another Divine Avatar!”

Lin Zhen estimated that by the time he arrived at the Skywind Valley, he should have mostly finished condensing the Gold Element Divine Avatar.

…

On the return trip to the Witch Star, he conjectured that he might also have mostly completed the Wind Element Divine Avatar.

However, three years into flight, Chris informed him that the energy blocks in the energy repository were nearly exhausted.

“Energy exhaustion?

But I just added a hundred million energy blocks when we set off!”

“Master, although one hundred million points’ worth of energy blocks is a lot, it’s not enough to sustain the prolonged flight of the Sword Palace.

With such a massive palace, each month’s consumption is several million, and one hundred million points can only maintain three years of operation.”

“Really?

Does a high grade palace consume so much?

The energy consumed over several decades could be enough to buy a lower-grade palace.”

Lin Zhen felt it was somewhat wasteful.

Who could afford to operate it like this?

“Master, I need to correct one of your misconceptions.

The Sword Palace may appear to be high grade, but it is essentially a top-quality palace, and its actual consumption is calculated as such.

According to the calculation method of your hometown, it’s like a fighter jet.

The fuel cost for three years could buy any type of car.”

“And for a top-quality palace, which is supposed to be a ruler’s chariot, do you think a ruler would compromise the performance of his vehicle to save energy blocks?”

Lin Zhen was somehow speechless.

Rulers, of course, wouldn’t care about these energy blocks.

However, he was currently not in the God King Realm, so driving such an excellent palace did seem a bit of a stretch.

Lin Zhen could buy something like a Divine Shield Ship and fly slowly, but that would take far too long.

A ten-year journey might take several hundred to a thousand years, which was unacceptable.

He still had four hundred million points.

To get to the Skywind Valley, he would need at least three hundred million.

With a bite to his teeth, Lin Zhen spent all the three hundred million points to purchase energy blocks and filled them into the energy repository.

Now that he only had one hundred million points left, it was not enough for the return fare.

“Master, you can slightly reduce the speed, controlling the arrival time at the Skywind Valley to about twenty years.

This could save up to fifty percent of energy consumption.”

Lin Zhen sighed.

To save the return fare, he had to do so for now.

The Sword Palace decreased from sub-light speed limit to sub-light speed and temporarily sealed the eighteen sword slots.

This way they weren’t in a state where they needed constant energy supply, hence the energy consumption was naturally much less.

Having such a good flying palace but not being able to afford its energy consumption, Lin Zhen gave a bitter smile and continued cultivating.

In the fourth year, Lin Zhen passed the twenty-eighth level of the Heavenly Platform.

Before reaching the Skywind Valley, it was certain that he would pass the twenty-ninth level.

In the blink of an eye, over six years had passed, and Lin Zhen’s journey was more than halfway through.

One day, while Lin Zhen was cultivating, Chris alerted him, “Master, there is a flying palace coming up from behind.”

Lin Zhen immediately left his cultivation state and had Chris switch to the radar screen.

Behind the Sword Palace, a square, middle grade flying palace was rapidly accelerating, about to catch up with Lin Zhen’s palace.

Now Lin Zhen’s Sword Palace had closed its sword slots, appearing as a standard high-grade palace with slower speed.

That was why it was about to be caught up to by this middle-grade palace.

At first, Lin Zhen thought it was the Violent Ape King or Ghoul Corpse King coming to attack him, but the palace didn’t belong to them.

Moreover, after so many years, the Ghoul Corpse King and others couldn’t possibly know his location.

“Slow down a bit more, let me see who’s coming.”

Chris further slowed down the flying palace to about five thousand times the speed of sound.

The middle-grade palace quickly caught up and flew side by side with Lin Zhen’s palace.

Zzz …

!!!

A wave of electricity flickered on the radar screen, and then a man appeared on the screen.

“Ha ha!

Hello fellow traveler.”

Lin Zhen saw that the man was neither tall nor fat, with a fair complexion and gentle manners, looking like a scholarly mid-aged man.

However, appearances don’t represent strength.

This man was a God King, and he seemed to be much stronger than the Ghoul Corpse King and Violent Ape King.

Most of the time, one could roughly guess a person’s strength from the grade of their flying palace.

Being able to command a middle-grade palace, this man couldn’t be a bottom-grade God King.

From the looks of it, this man didn’t appear to harbor any ill intentions.

Lin Zhen also greeted him with a smile, “Hello, may I know your name?”

“My surname is Bai, and people refer to me as the Nine-tailed King.”

Lin Zhen didn’t know who the Nine-tailed King was, but Chris quickly informed him, “Master, the Nine-tailed King’s real body is the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, a God King who has been famed for several hundred million years.

His strength is reasonably high among the God Kings, not comparable to the likes of novice God Kings like the Violent Ape King.

Also, he comes from the Witch Star.”

Lin Zhen acknowledged her explanation, then turned to the Nine-tailed King, “My surname is Lin, and people call me the Ghost Face King.”

“Oh!

I seem to have heard the name somewhere before.”

Although the Nine-tailed King seemed to not remember, he was still cheerful.

“I was heading towards the Skywind Valley and didn’t expect to encounter your vehicle midway.

With this vast universe and this long journey, our meeting could be considered fate.

I have the intention to make friends, so I came to say hello.”

“Ha ha, the Nine-tailed King is indeed an affable person.

In this case, why don’t you come over for a chat?”

The Nine-tailed King happily nodded, “Alright, I’ll come over immediately.”

Even though the Nine-tailed King was not weak, Lin Zhen wasn’t afraid.

With the activation of his Lion Seal, average God Kings wouldn’t be able to resist his power.

Soon, Lin Zhen opened his protective shield, and the Nine-tailed King’s square palace landed on the deck above Lin Zhen’s Sword Palace.

You should know that Lin Zhen’s palace was a top-quality palace, so its size was extremely large, more than ten times larger than the Nine-tailed King’s middle-grade palace.

The middle-grade palace descended to the deck, similar to an aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier.

As the square palace settled down, the Nine-tailed King emerged from it and made his way to the entrance of the Temple of Honored Gods.
