"This fusion system is actually pretty good. What if I were to fuse in things like the Void Bloodline?"
Yi Tianyun had a bold idea—to fuse all his bloodlines together. In the end, however, he chose to abandon it. First of all, bloodlines like the Void Bloodline had not yet reached their limits, and their effects were still extremely strong. There was no need to fuse them for now.
Perhaps one day, when their effects truly declined, that would be the time to fuse them. It was just like the Dragon God Bloodline—its effects had already diminished greatly, so fusing it was the natural choice.
As for other things, he could not even be bothered to try fusing them. For example, items like the ancient Desolate Set from the past could indeed be fused, but their effects were still far too weak for him.
His current targets were all high-grade Heavenly Dao–level treasures—only these could provide the greatest benefits. Once his cultivation broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, he would then be able to use Heavenly Venerable–level spirit treasures.
"Breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm… that still requires quite a lot of experience."
Yi Tianyun checked the amount of experience he needed. He could still level up once or twice, but even after doing so, he would still fall short of the Heavenly Venerable level. Since that was the case, it was better to save it. Next time he killed a Heavenly Venerable, he could obtain the additional bonus for killing an enemy above his level.
"Ding! You have successfully accepted the main storyline quest: 'Increase the overall strength of the Three Realms God Domain to reach the true strength of a Fourth-Grade God Domain.'
The objective is divided into three tiers.
Beginner Tier: 15 Heavenly Venerables, 100 Divine Lords, 1,000 Heavenly Lords.
Intermediate Tier: 20 Heavenly Venerables (including 5 Mid-tier Heavenly Venerables), 200 Divine Lords, 2,000 Heavenly Lords.
Advanced Tier: 30 Heavenly Venerables (including 10 Mid-tier Heavenly Venerables and 5 High-tier Heavenly Venerables)!
Rewards: 500,000 compressed Frenzy Points, 500,000 compressed Proficiency Points; directly gain one level; all skills and bloodlines increase by one level!"
The difficulty of this main storyline quest left him dumbfounded. Although he had long been mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked. This meant he would have to drastically raise the overall strength of his forces to have any chance of completing it.
Even the beginner tier alone made him want to spit blood, let alone the higher difficulties. That said, once completed, the rewards were extremely generous.
Especially the second reward and beyond—an unconditional level-up. Using that reward now would be a huge waste, since leveling up at his current stage did not require an outrageously large amount of experience.
But by the time he actually completed this quest, who knew how long it would take? By then, his cultivation would definitely far surpass its current level, possibly even breaking through into the Heavenly Venerable realm. At that point, gaining a full level would be immensely satisfying.
As for the final reward, it was even more astonishing—everything would be upgraded by one level! Whether it was levels or bloodlines, all of them would increase.
This meant tremendous savings and a massive boost in overall strength. He was very satisfied with this reward, but the difficulty made his expression turn bitter. Who knew how long it would take to complete?
"It seems this will be the longest quest I've ever undertaken."
Yi Tianyun shook his head, but he did not feel discouraged. No matter what, he had to make his entire faction strong. Otherwise, once he was no longer around, wouldn't they face inevitable destruction?
His own strength was important, but if the collective could not grow strong as well, the destruction of the Three Realms God Domain would be unavoidable!
For the time being, Yi Tianyun set this matter aside and shifted his gaze beyond the Three Realms' planets. He had originally planned to scout the situation outside, but the sudden appearance of the quest had diverted his attention.
Now that he had some spare time, he turned his focus back. After a brief inspection, he was left speechless. All the planets of the Three Realms God Domain were originally clustered together—not scattered apart, but piled tightly into one place!
This meant that more than a dozen planets were gathered here. In addition, countless chunks of debris surrounded them, densely packed and drifting about. They were like thick city walls, enclosing everything within.
Outsiders could not easily get in, and likewise, those inside could not easily get out.
"This really means expanding our territory…" Yi Tianyun shook his head. Seeing this situation, he knew he would have to smash through the surrounding debris; otherwise, there would be no way to leave.
He immediately gathered all experts at the Divine Lord level and above, and began smashing outward in all directions, reducing the debris to powder.
Domain Lord Liuli and the others all joined in. Since they did not need to cultivate for the time being, they naturally took part in this expansion effort.
Under their frenzied bombardment, the surrounding debris rapidly diminished. Soon, they spotted a blue planet floating nearby.
"A new planet!"
This instantly drew everyone's attention, and they all flew toward it. Upon descending onto the planet, they found it filled with surging water-element energy. At its core was embedded a Fourth-Grade water core!
"A Fourth-Grade water core—this is truly an excellent place for cultivating water attributes!" Domain Lord Liuli's eyes were filled with joy. Previously, the water cores she possessed were at most First or Second Grade—far too low-level.
Now, a Fourth-Grade core had appeared out of nowhere. How could she not be overjoyed?
"Then this water core will be managed by Sister Liuli," Yi Tianyun said immediately, assigning the water attribute to Domain Lord Liuli.
"Then I won't hold back. I'll make good use of this water core and cultivate a large number of water-attribute experts! For example, your wife would be very suitable to cultivate here," Domain Lord Liuli said with a smile.
Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. With Shi Xueyun cultivating under her guidance, there was no doubt she would progress by leaps and bounds.
They did not stop there. Continuing to clear the debris, they expanded outward in all directions. Discovering such an excellent planet greatly boosted their morale. If they kept expanding like this, they would surely find even better resources.
Sure enough, before long, they discovered another planet with an earth-element core—also a Fourth-Grade core, extremely precious.
This was undeniably exciting news, spurring them to work even harder. Who knew how many outstanding planets they would uncover once the entire God Domain was fully explored?
All of these were exceptional cultivation grounds, even more valuable than spirit medicines. Of course, these planets also contained large quantities of spirit herbs, all of fairly high grade.
Even the worst Fourth-Grade God Domain could not have poor resources, especially these uncharted planets. None of these resources had been harvested yet—they would definitely bring him an enormous stockpile of wealth!
With this, producing a large number of powerful experts in a short time would no longer be a mere dream.
"Excellent, excellent!" Yi Tianyun grew more and more excited. Once they firmly established themselves as a Fourth-Grade God Domain, the next step would be to charge toward a Fifth-Grade God Domain—the ultimate goal.
However, that would take a very long time. He could only take it step by step.
