Chapter 1784 - Hush
Chapter 1784: Hush
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The first thing Lin Huang did after returning to the Feister Star Zone was to send Xia Bing a message with a new temporary communication device.
Very soon, she sent a simple overview of the information above dao-level.
Lin Huang downloaded it instantly and examined it as soon as he received it.
The information was rather basic, with a total word count of less than 1,000. However, it did give him a preliminary understanding of the level above major dao-level.
The level above major dao-level was called heavenly dao-level.
As major dao-level powerhouses could no longer consolidate more Dao seals when they were at limit major dao-level, and their Kingdoms were so full that they could no longer increase their ability, someone thought of a solution—consolidating more Kingdoms to increase their ability.
Therefore, the cultivation of heavenly dao-level was spread out gradually.
There were a total of nine ranks for heavenly dao-level, from rank-1 to rank-9.
Each time a Kingdom was consolidated, it meant that the person’s rank would be elevated. When nine Kingdoms were consolidated, it would be rank-9.
Lin Huang was in a daze as he read up to this point.
The reason being was that this was not his method of cultivation at all.
He had consolidated close to 20 million Dao seals in his Kingdom and himself personally, yet it was far from his actual limit.
The data that Xia Bing sent only had a rough explanation about it.
There were no further detailed descriptions on the nine ranks, nor did it mention how to consolidate one’s second Kingdom.
“Seems like I must pay Fantasy Island a visit…”
…
Two days passed by quickly.
In the evening, Lin Huang put on a mask and held onto the invitation card. The moment Fantasy Island opened, he inserted his Odyl within.
The next second, he and the invitation card vanished at the same time.
When he snapped back to his senses, he realized that he was now in a sunny town.
It was quite different from what he had expected.
He thought that, although its name was Fantasy Island, its nature should still be that of a black market.
A black market should be discreet. Never had he imagined the bright, sunny scene in front of him.
“This dimension seems to be the projection of a heavenly dao-level powerhouse’s Kingdom as well…” Lin Huang lifted his head to look into the sky.
He could sense that the Fantasy Island’s size was many times smaller than Sovereign Xuan and the rest’s Kingdoms. It was approximately the size of a normal city on Earth.
Although the dimension was much more powerful, its nature was still that of a projection of a Kingdom.
Sensing that the number of people around him was growing, Lin Huang soon put his thoughts aside and began to observe the guests who had arrived like he did.
Everyone more or less had a disguise. There were many who were wearing masks like he was.
He sensed their levels roughly. Among those who were in his field of vision, the weakest one was a Lord, and there were minor and major dao-level powerhouses everywhere.
As he thought carefully, he understood what was going on.
One would need to insert their Odyl to activate the invitation card. Not many people below lord-level could consolidate Dao seals in advance.
To avoid attracting unwanted attention, Lin Huang had disguised himself as a major dao-level powerhouse, while his aura fluctuations were maintained at approximately 500,000 Dao seals.
Although it was sunny, and it seemed calm and harmonious here, Lin Huang knew that this was just on the surface.
He did not forget Xia Bing’s reminder.
“Find out which shops conduct information transactions.”
Lin Huang spread out his Divine Telekinesis directly.
In reality, Xia Bing reminded him that he should try his best not to use Divine Telekinesis, as people would assume that he was probing or provoking them.
However, the strength of his Divine Telekinesis had far surpassed dao-level, so the possibility of being noticed was low.
As he scanned with Divine Telekinesis, Lin Huang saw over ten shops that conducted information transactions.
He chose the one that occupied most space and had the most sophisticated furnishings.
To him, having such a large space in this place and not being worried about the jealousy and envy of their peers, proved that the boss was someone capable.
Lin Huang lifted his head and glanced at the sign as he appeared at the shop entrance in a flash.
One word was carved in black on the sign—Hush.
Nobody knew if it was the shop’s name or the boss’ calligraphy work.
After stepping into the door, a pretty female attendant welcomed him instantly.
“May I know if you’d like to sell or obtain information?”
“Obtain.” Lin Huang merely spit out one word.
“Please follow me to Room 10…” The female attendant suddenly paused and surprise flashed through her eyes as she looked once again at Lin Huang. However, she adjusted her emotions quickly. “Please follow me to Room 1.”
She brought Lin Huang into the elevator as she spoke.
Naturally, Lin Huang had noticed her odd behavior, as well as the change in room number at the very last minute. However, he said nothing and followed her to the fifth floor.
The female attendant brought Lin Huang to the entrance of a room on the fifth floor before stopping. “We’re here. Please go in, sir.”
Lin Huang noticed that, apart from him and the female attendant, there was not even a guest or another attendant on this floor.
Nevertheless, he did not care and walked into the room directly.
There was a tall counter behind the door.
A rather hunched old man checked out Lin Huang subtly before speaking in a hoarse voice.
“Sir, may I know what kind of information you need?”
Lin Huang smiled as he stared at the hunched old man. “Stop pretending. You must be the boss?”
Seeing that the man said nothing, Lin Huang added with a smile, “To be exact, you should be the boss of this Fantasy Island.”
The moment he entered, he sensed that the old man’s aura was at least at the peak of heavenly dao-level, even though he did not release his aura at all.
That was the senses between powerhouses. He also knew that the old man should have sensed his real ability too. Therefore, the old man had arranged for this meeting specially.
“I can’t believe I’ve been exposed so easily…” The hunched old man waved his hand. The entire room changed significantly.
The rather dim consultation room suddenly transformed. It was now a bright, small meeting room.
The hunched old man revealed his real appearance as well.
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early 50s. He seemed outstandingly charismatic. One could tell that he was a powerhouse who had been sitting at the top for a long time.
“Take a seat.” The middle-aged man sat on the leather couch on his own and lifted his head to look at Lin Huang with great interest.
Lin Huang was not shy at all. He sat across from the man with a coffee table between them.
“I’m curious about why a powerhouse like you would conceal his combat strength and come to my Fantasy Island,” the middle-aged man smiled as he asked while serving Lin Huang a cup of tea.
Lin Huang took the tea casually and displayed a faint smile. “If I say I’m just here to obtain some information, would you believe me?”
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Huang for a moment and nodded while smiling, “I would.”
“So what kind of information are you looking for exactly?” He only asked after falling silent for a moment.
“I want information regarding heavenly dao-level and above heavenly dao-level. The more detailed, the better..” Lin Huang only spoke after hesitating momentarily.
