Chapter 369: Changes After the Sea of Realms Seal is Lifted!_2
The following barrage of announcements informed everyone that he had upgraded his mansion to a Level 10 Lord's Mansion, becoming the first in New World No. 99 to break through, with a tenfold announcement direct, making every lord, wanderer, and mercenary in New World No. 99 well aware of his big name.
This time, Zi Liyuan's name was known not only to the lords of New World No. 99, but also by those professionals who, without a [Lord's Heart], had ventured into the Sea of Realms to risk their lives.
Now his name was truly known to all.
To the lords, he had become a common enemy. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
To the wanderers or mercenaries, he might be an opportunity!
The struggle for the position of Grand Lord would require a significant amount of military power and talent.
Those professionals who had entered the Sea of Realms with the resolve to die had no way back, effectively abandoning everything in reality, determined to succeed or die with honor.
As for the lords who ventured into the Sea of Realms, the confidants and subordinates naturally consisted of talents recruited early on in reality; these people would become core members of one's team, but they were always limited in number and could not control the entire vast territory on their own.
Therefore, recruiting talents in the Sea of Realms was an essential step.
The human professionals venturing into the Sea of Realms from various planets were an excellent choice, as long as you didn't recruit those whose worlds are sworn enemies of your own.
Of course, recruiting human professionals was also done partly because they are fellow humans, and that brought a sense of familiarity.
When recruiting talent, one could also enlist various monster races that emerged in the Sea of Realms.
For example, the kobold tribe, which Lord Zi considered to be skilled mining assistants—the kobolds were so good at mining and were a lower-tier monster race, making them quite simple to subdue.
Fame can be good or bad, depending on how Zi Liyuan handles it.
He then looked at the long list of messages below.
This time there were eighteen messages, appearing almost simultaneously.
They were all about slaying lords, eighteen in total, corresponding to those eighteen Alien Lords.
Since there were system notifications, it meant that these eighteen fools who had come to deliver their heads were really dead, with no faking death or using body doubles.
After reading these eighteen messages, Lord Zi heaved a quiet sigh of relief; enemies that were completely annihilated were the best kind of enemies.
The system notifications that followed were a messy lot: equipment unsealing, inventory slot unsealing, spatial belt unsealing, skill lock unsealing...
In general, it meant that all of Blue Star's strengths, equipment, items, and bloodline had all returned to their peak states.
However, there were some changes, such as with the skills.
After entering the Sea of Realms, the heavenly dao rules here were different from those on Blue Star, and now that the skills had been unsealed, they automatically adapted to the rules of the Sea of Realms, resulting in significant changes.
Of course, these changes only affected normal skills; mutant and fusion skills, other than having their levels and potency restored, did not undergo other adaptive changes.
Seeing this, Zi Liyuan immediately opened his attribute panel to check.
The attribute panel underwent considerable changes; aside from the cultivation techniques and equipment which remained unchanged, the basic attributes had also returned to their peak values.
The first thing Zi Liyuan checked was the changes in the talent section.
Originally, only [Star of Fortune] was active, and now there was an additional [Bloodline Power (Awakening Progress 50%)].
The former was a talent awakened during class change, and the latter was activated during a dual cultivation with No. 2, but originally it had only reached 40% progress, granting a temporary fourfold increase in all attributes.
By activating the Bloodline Power through dual cultivation, one dual cultivation session could sustain a temporary fourfold increase in all attributes for seven days.
Now, the progress had increased by 10%, and it was possible to actively activate the Bloodline Power to temporarily enhance oneself by five times the all-attribute boost.
But each use had a 24-hour cooldown, lasting 10 minutes.
An incredibly powerful talent skill, especially for someone like Lord Zi who already had an abnormal output capability.
It meant that Zi Liyuan's frequently used single-target spell, Level 25 "Elemental Arrow", had a base magic damage of 22,500, and an additional magic damage boost of 1150%.
It equated to, one "Elemental Arrow" dealing over 2 million+ mixed elemental damage.
Zi Liyuan had finally lifted his own seals, and even then, his total health was only just above 3.16 million. A single skill was enough to take away more than half of his life.
These were merely the inherent effects of his innate "Bloodline Power," not to mention the 10-fold increase in all attributes that would come once the Bloodline Power was fully awakened, along with additional special effects.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air gently, Zi Liyuan looked towards the level column.
When he was on Blue Star, this section was locked, but now there appeared a requirement to unlock it!
[Level Lock Release Requirement: Increase the Lord's Mansion to Level 20, break through 10,000 in one of the three basic attributes, practice a Fifth Order Cultivation Technique.]
Of the three unlock conditions, the second had already been met; with the boosts from the Cultivation Technique, the equipment, and various other buffs, all three of Zi's basic attributes had broken through the 20,000 mark, and his Soul Value had even surpassed 30,000.
Reaching the required level for the Lord's Mansion was definitely achievable, though it would take no small amount of time.
As for a Fifth Order Cultivation Technique, such things were not easily obtained.
Zi Liyuan stroked his chin, then four faces emerged in his mind—who else could they be but Ying Xueji and the others?
With the heritage of the four great Ancient Empires, could there be a shortage of Cultivation Techniques?
"Looks like, it's time to have a serious talk with these four cunning people."
A Fifth Order Cultivation Technique was merely of Epic Quality, and for these four great royal families, they certainly had a large collection.
Zi Liyuan naturally assumed this and then started planning how to obtain high-order Cultivation Techniques from Ying Xueji and the others.
However, he did not understand that while there were indeed many low-to-mid-tier Cultivation Techniques in the Sea of Realms, the high-tier ones were extremely rare.
Anything reaching Epic Quality was considered a high-tier Cultivation Technique. As long as one managed to comprehend it, it would at least guarantee the comprehender the ability to reach an Epic occupation template.
The change in templates would enhance the basic attribute strengthening of the occupation.
Zi Liyuan, currently at Tier 4 Peak Level 100 strength, had gone through the Lord class-change mode, which gave him a 100% enhancement to his base attributes.
In other words, Zi Liyuan now had a golden Lord template, akin to the monster Lord template.
To break through to Fifth Order strength, one must promote their template to Epic!
Fifth Order Cultivation Technique was an essential item!
Skipping the level, talent, occupation, Cultivation Technique, and equipment columns, Zi Liyuan's gaze fell on the skills column.
All the skills had undergone adaptive changes.
Originally, all skills had cooldown and casting time restrictions, but now those restrictions had gone.
To use those skills, one needed to arrange the requisite elemental powers and sequences.
The stronger the Soul Value, the finer the control over the Spirit, the faster the elemental sequences' arrangement, and consequently, the faster the skills could be cast.
With Zi Liyuan's control over the Spirit, most of the skills he currently mastered were instantly castable!
This included terrifyingly powerful abilities like "Death Dark Arrow," "Bone Spear," "Poison Spear," and "Spear of Death," all of which could now be cast instantly.
The skills found on the innate skill trees of occupation templates had all changed, with some becoming more powerful and some less so.
What Zi Liyuan found most frustrating was that the level of each skill could only be independently raised to Level 20.
To further increase skill levels, one had to rely on equipment or special items.
The reason why all of Zi Liyuan's skills had reached Level 25 was because of the set effects on his gear, which increased the level of all skills by 5.
With every level up, the increase in skill power was quite terrifying.
He glanced briefly over all the skills, especially the changes that appeared behind those death-related skills, and the corners of Zi Liyuan's mouth curved up involuntarily.
Because in the descriptions behind those skills, there appeared the words [Can be Mutatively Strengthened].
The power of the Nether Crystal Core was once again useable, signalling that his combat power would once again gain a huge increase!
