245 Third Lineage (1/2)

Meanwhile, Konrad sat crossed legged above the Tribulation Valley with nine pairs of white light wings spreading from his back. A ring of the same color stood above his head, and a lotus bloomed within.

As the lotus fully blossomed, it vanished, reappeared by Konrad's side, and turned into an exact replica of him.

This was his first Pure Self. And since he majored in both the martial and spiritual paths, it could use both spells and arms.

Thus, he'd officially completed the first step of cultivation, and become a Saint!

Now, the next step was to seize the inheritances on the eighth floor and the Celestial Founder's Blood Origin.

”You've been out for more than two years. In the outside world, not many days remain before the plague officially begins.”

Selene's voice echoed within his head.

”Unfortunately, even the tower can't cheat the system. Your exp growth is not that startling. Want to check your current stats?”

”No need. It should now be approaching twenty-seven billion. I'd rather you tell me about the new functions.”

Konrad replied while standing up. Activating his Origin Sight, he located the teleportation circle leading to the next floor and with a step, vanished, to reappear before it.

There, the Obsidian Guardian stood. Konrad now understood why Marduk's coffin wasn't protected by the Guardian. Still, he failed to grasp the reasoning. The Guardian usually protected the core inheritance, not the exit. That's why one could cross a floor without defeating its Guardian.

But it seemed that from now on, it would no longer be the case.

Of course, it mattered not. The seventh floor's Guardian was but a peak-stage Fate Wrestling Saint.

In front of the current Konrad, not even qualified to call himself an ant. Before he could bare his weapon, Konrad punched out, sending vibration waves that minced the Obsidian Guardian into metallic powder.

Undisturbed, he stepped on the teleportation circle and shot toward the next floor.

”You have three new major functions. One, Physique Grinding. You can grind one of your physiques into exp, free up a slot, and exchange it for a new one…or something else if you so wish.

Two, Refinery Cauldron. You can toss artifacts and their scraps into a unique furnace to breed new, mightier artifacts. Usable outside the system.

Three, Soul Gourd. You can use it to store souls and improve their grade with exp. You can also directly absorb, and trap weakened souls, should they find themselves separated from their bodies.

Usable outside the system.

Main Quest, level 7:
