Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"The first trial is already over?"

Xu Qingzhi was stunned, incredulously looking at Lin Qing, her eyes filled with shock, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really over?"

"Do you think I would lie?" Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

Xu Qingzhi was momentarily taken aback but understood the reasoning, took a deep breath, and asked no more.

"Indeed."

She immediately stood up, picked up the wine pot, personally poured a cup for Lin Qing, and said, "Congratulations. With your talent and the benefits of the position of the Main God, your hope of achieving eternal existence in the future is surely considerable. It seems that our King Realm may finally have a disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang."

Her change in attitude made Lin Qing slightly shake his head, "I'm only a registered disciple."

"It's still a registered disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang." Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but say, "You may not know, but among His Majesty Guang Wang's registered disciples, even the weakest is a peak figure among eternal existences! And I heard that they were eliminated ahead of time before they could fully grow."

"Oh?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't an ultimate being capable of resurrecting the dead from the Time River?"

"That's only possible below the eternal level; eternal existences are almost impossible to revive." Xu Qingzhi shook her head, "But that's what I've heard, all of it happened before the King Realm was established."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "In any case, once you become a registered disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang in the future, your status will be so high that there won't be many below the Emperor with higher standing. Even Emperors would have to show you respect."

"Oh?" Lin Qing mused thoughtfully.

Indeed, considering that His Majesty Guang Wang's registered disciples are all peak figures among eternal existences, and backed by Guang Wang, the highest existence of the King Realm, it is natural that even Emperors would have to show some deference.

"Who would have thought that Mr. Lin Qing would become a disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang?"

Xu Qingzhi marveled, "I'd long suspected Mr. Lin Qing's future would be extraordinary, but I didn't imagine it would be this astonishing. Truly admirable."

As she spoke, she raised her glass to toast Lin Qing once again.

Previously, in order to build rapport with Lin Qing, she had paid attention to the civilization and customs of the Mountain and Sea Realm, initially just to avoid offending any taboos, as this is a courtesy owed by high-level civilizations rich in culture.

But now, it's no longer just about avoiding taboos; she had also intentionally learned to toast in the style of Lin Qing's homeland.

Although she is a registered disciple of Emperor Jue Xian, and might even become a direct disciple after attaining eternity, she wasn't too confident.

Not to mention, even as a direct disciple of Emperor Jue Xian, her status would not compare to a registered disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang!

This is true both in terms of strength and status.

"I've only passed the first trial; I'm not a registered disciple yet." Lin Qing shook his head, "Moreover, if I don't pass the second trial and achieve eternal existence, I can't become a registered disciple."

"Mr. Lin Qing is too modest." Xu Qingzhi laughed, and said, "The second trial may be difficult, but I believe with Mr. Lin Qing's talent, achieving eternal existence isn't too hard. You might even pass all three trials and become a direct disciple!"

"I hope so, too."

Lin Qing smiled and said, "I don't really know any remarkable people in the King Realm, so I'm quite clueless about this second trial; that's why I thought of you. I came to consult you, didn't I?"

Xu Qingzhi was delighted in her heart and immediately said, "Not a problem. Do you know what the second trial set by His Majesty Guang Wang is?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "A time limit of thirty-eight million years. First, I need to cultivate a secret technique to the first minor achievement level, which I can train and understand on my own. Mainly, I must find two Glory King Pearls and an Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower."

He shook his head and said, "Although His Majesty gave me a source power to locate these two items, I have no idea what they even are or what their characteristics are."

Suddenly, Lin Qing noticed Xu Qingzhi's expression was somewhat dazed, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"This...This trial is excessively outrageous, isn't it?"

Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but say, "I finally understand why His Majesty Guang Wang hasn't accepted disciples for so many years. The difficulty of such an insanely challenging trial requires terrifyingly high talent, probably less than a handful of such geniuses have been born in the entire King Realm over three hundred billion years."

Lin Qing slightly raised an eyebrow, it seemed the second trial was to test talent?

Indeed.

His Majesty Guang Wang's selection of disciples requires not only their conduct in the world but also that their talent and will stand at the pinnacle of the King Realm, which explains why no disciples have been accepted for three hundred billion years.

"Tell me more?" Lin Qing immediately asked.

Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and said, "With the means given to you by His Majesty Guang Wang, finding these two items isn't hard, but the true difficulty is not in searching for them. It's about turning the impossible into possible."

Lin Qing asked in confusion, "Turning the impossible into possible?"

Xu Qingzhi sighed and said, "Then let me first tell you about what might be the most challenging of all, the Glory King Pearls and Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower."

"Glory King Pearls are treasures formed from the extra Divine Country Origin after His Majesty Guang Wang opened up the Heavenly Light Divine Country."

"This part of the Divine Country Origin absorbs the power of Endless Chaos, and a portion of the Chaos Essence, adhering to space-time rules, will naturally give birth to a pair, which means two incredibly precious Glory King Pearls."

Xu Qingzhi looked at Lin Qing and said, "Just one Glory King Pearl is enough to bring immense transformation to a Primordial Universe Treasure. If it's a Primordial Treasure that's only one step away from ascending to an Eternal Treasure, there's even a seventy percent chance of directly ascending to an Eternal Treasure!"

"Oh?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

He had also heard from the eternal existence 'Hong Nuo' of the Myriad Phenomena World Group that the difficulty for a Primordial Treasure to ascend to an Eternal Treasure is unimaginably high.

The female eternal existence 'Zhe Yuan', who wanted the Heavenly Net Cosmic Light Essence, after accumulating treasure resources for over a hundred billion years, coupled with that essence, only had less than a ten percent chance of ascending to an Eternal Treasure!

A mere ten percent chance is already enough to make an eternal existence wager everything they have.

But just one Glory King Pearl could give a seventy percent chance; what kind of treasure is this?

It could undoubtedly drive eternal existences mad!

"Wouldn't having two make it even better?" Lin Qing was tempted and quickly asked, "Is obtaining the Glory King Pearls difficult?"

"I don't know how effective two would be," Xu Qingzhi shook her head, "but I know one thing... Normally, the Glory King Pearl takes thirty-eight million years to form, but once it forms, one of them will self-destruct. They absolutely do not coexist as a pair, and even the ultimate existence may not be able to prevent its self-destruction, making it truly unique."

"Self-destruct?" Lin Qing was stunned.

A unique Glory King Pearl, and the trial set by His Majesty Guang Wang was to obtain two?

Unique, how to get two?

"Yes, unique."

Xu Qingzhi said, "One of my senior brothers once obtained this Glory King Pearl. He personally said that Glory King Pearls are unique treasures throughout the entire King Realm."

Lin Qing was flabbergasted and said, "This... once it forms, one self-destructs, and even an ultimate existence might not be able to stop it. How could I possibly obtain two?"

"Hmm..."

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "It might still be possible."

She looked at Lin Qing, softly saying, "I heard that among the three major time mysteries of the future rules, the 'Future Body' mystery allows one's body to enter the future. Until time reaches the future, the future self will also arrive in the present."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "You could first use the 'Future Vision' mystery to observe and pinpoint the timeline where one Glory King Pearl self-destructs. Then, as long as you cultivate the 'Future Body' mystery deeply enough, you could enter the future and directly seize the Glory King Pearl at the moment of its formation. Then, as time passes and the future collides with the present, you will arrive in reality alongside the Glory King Pearl."

"Future Vision? Future Body?" Lin Qing began to understand, "So His Majesty is testing my mastery of the future rules?"
