Chapter 540-1: Ninth Difficulty Region Baxia’s Tomb, Origin Dragon Divine Palace (1)
Lin Xun had already mastered the secret method for building Dragon-Gazing Altar. However, this kind of teleportation structure had certain requirements for site selection. It could not be built anywhere at random. Dragon-Gazing Altar needed to be built on a dragon vein.
According to the records in Vermilion Geographical Records, the so-called dragon vein had now been renamed grand vein. It referred to a continuous mountain system containing majestic earth qi.
Because its form wound and rose and fell like a dragon, vivid and flexible, dragon was used as a metaphor for mountains, while vein represented the continuity and vitality of mountains.
Kunlun was originally a true dragon vein. It could even be said to be the starting point of the world’s dragon veins. However, because of Enma’s heaven-piercing great power, Kunlun had been sealed away within a minor world, cutting off its connection with the greater world.
Any Dragon-Gazing Altar built on a dragon vein in the great thousand world could be regarded as a main teleportation point, while Dragon-Gazing Altars hidden in small thousand worlds were teleportation branch points.
If the Dragon-Gazing Altar were built in Kunlun, it would belong to a teleportation branch point just like Origin Dragon Divine Palace. Branch points could not teleport to each other. Only main points to main points, or main points to branch points, allow teleportation.
To put it simply, only by using the great thousand world as the starting point could one enter a small thousand world.
Vermilion Geographical Records contained the specific distribution points of many dragon veins in the world. The capital’s imperial palace, meaning Yanjing’s Forbidden City, was built on a vast dragon vein.
The nearby territory around Bingzhou City also had a dragon vein. Lin Xun did not spend much effort before finding a construction site.
He did not bring Wondrous Dharma Bodhisattva with him. Instead, he let Wondrous Dharma temporarily return to the Western Pure Bliss Heaven dojo.
This time, he was going to Origin Dragon Divine Palace, and Wondrous Dharma was, after all, an enemy figure. She only had no choice but to submit beneath him because Her life blood essence was controlled. It was not a wise move to let Wondrous Dharma know too many secrets.

[The White Elephant Demon smashes the old tombstone in front of the sealed burial mound with one hammer, then drives magic power to remove the surrounding trees and weeds as well, clearing out a large open space.]
[Although you do not understand the art of feng shui geomancy, you know that the tombs of nobles and aristocrats are generally buried at the knot points of dragon veins. As long as you flatten the ancient Vermilion noble tomb before you and occupy this treasured geomantic land, you can build Dragon-Gazing Altar.]
[After the clearing is complete, you begin to use the construction secret method…]
[You have gathered Stone Treasure Molybdenum Gold, Blue Dawn Corundum, Black Sea Ice Soul Essence Crystal, Radiant Glazed Gold, and Vajra Void Sandstone, meeting the prerequisite conditions to build Dragon-Gazing Altar!]
[The construction location you selected meets the prerequisite condition of dragon vein knot point!]
[You can now build Dragon-Gazing Altar!]
[As the secret method operates, earth and stone on the ground converge from all directions. The five heavenly materials and earthly treasures transform into streams of flowing light and colorful radiance, surging into the earth and stone.]
[Amid the flickering five-colored light, a strange structure slowly condenses into form.]
[Building in progress. Remaining construction time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds…]

Building Dragon-Gazing Altar required one day and one night. During the construction process, it could not be interrupted or moved. With the White Elephant Demon protecting and guarding him at the side, Lin Xun was quite reassured.
The Shell in the game needed to be busy building, while in reality, he also had to start working.
Previously, after killing Obstacle-Extinguishing Honored King, an immortal+ grade Divinity had dropped. Lin Xun had decomposed it into three immortal grade Divine items.
Now that the Nine-Tailed Fox and Valkyrie had learned the high grade Lust Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method, those Divine items could be put to use.
He decided to work hard today and help the Nine-Tailed Fox and Valkyrie break through the boundary between human and god, advancing to the immortal realm together!

Valkyrie stood blankly beside the bed, both hands not knowing where to go. The scene before her eyes was extremely impactful, making her very flustered and at a loss.
The Nine-Tailed Fox had told her to properly observe and learn from the side. Soon it would be her turn…
The rising and falling waves gradually became surging and turbulent, and the sound of waves striking reefs continued endlessly.
When the towering waves suddenly rose and swept over everything on the beach, the light of the Divine item shone, and an absolutely powerful pressure erupted from the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Valkyrie understood that the Nine-Tailed Fox had finally broken through that barrier and advanced into an undying god.
She saw that the Nine-Tailed Fox had just broken through the boundary between heavenly being and mortal when she collapsed weakly. Then she forced herself to stand, draped on a black silk nightgown, and covered all her alluring curves.
The Nine-Tailed Fox pulled up her hand and comforted her, “No need to be nervous. You only need to cooperate with the Dragonborn Lord and let everything follow naturally.”
Valkyrie nodded as if she understood, but immediately shook her head quickly.
The Nine-Tailed Fox knew that she had only just obtained a body of flesh and blood, and was ignorant about these things. Her skin was also a little thin, so she gently turned and left.
This was to avoid Valkyrie tasting the marrow and knowing its flavor later, then being unable to fully let herself go because someone else was present.
“Nine-Tailed Fox, don’t go. Valkyrie still needs your on-site guidance.”
When the Nine-Tailed Fox heard these words, she secretly spat. Of course she knew the Dragonborn Lord’s little thoughts.
She rolled her eyes at the Dragonborn Lord, but did not expose him. She gently untied the sash of her nightgown, and amid Valkyrie’s cry of surprise, pushed her down onto the bed…

Through Lin Xun’s arduous efforts, plus the consumption of two immortal Divinities, the Nine-Tailed Fox and Valkyrie both successfully advanced into undying gods.
Unlike Apostles, after summoned creatures and the like advanced to immortality, although their soul power underwent a qualitative leap, they did not obtain additional Authority power.
Most gods in the game were also like this. Aside from main god deities themselves and special attributes bestowed by main god deities, very few gods appeared who controlled additional Authorities.
From this, it could be seen that every Apostle having a different soul talent and soul authority was a very abnormal phenomenon.
Regarding this, Lin Xun had two guesses.
First, an Apostle’s Authority was bestowed by The Book of Salvation.
The Book of Salvation controlled many Authorities. According to the different degrees of compatibility with the Apostle’s soul, it bestowed different Authority seeds, forming soul talents and post-advancement Authorities.
Second, the world he was in had something unique about it. The beings and souls born there possessed a unique nature that other worlds did not have.
Talent and Authority were not bestowed by The Book of Salvation. In this aspect, The Book of Salvation acted as a guide, helping Apostles develop innate talent and Authority.
Compared to the first guess, Lin Xun leaned more toward the second.
Because his Chaos Authority was the best proof to overturn the first guess.
If Chaos Authority had also been bestowed by The Book of Salvation, he would not be able to block The Book of Salvation’s vision. The final settlement scene of World of Omniscience from the previous chapter also could not still be the inherent ending of Triune World-Destroying God.
Moreover, if Chaos Authority was also one of The Book of Salvation’s many Authorities, then that meant if this Authority were taken as the starting point, there simply would not be any possibility of transcendence…
Otherwise, The Book of Salvation would have transcended long ago. Why would it need to recruit Apostles, this bunch of wage workers?
The Servant of Knowledge had a different view on this. The servant believed the correct answer might be a combination of the two. As for what the real and specific situation was, he would have to wait until Omniscience finished analyzing The Book of Salvation to obtain the answer.
One day later, Dragon-Gazing Altar was successfully built.
