Chapter 461: Secret of the Dimensions

Under the guidance of the scout, Yang Ling soon met Elder Klive and the three head honchos of the Dark Association within a large hall.

“Yang Ling, this is my mentor, as well as the Great Elder of the Dark Association, Rebraca. This is the Great Priest Shanduria, and this is the Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries Barbosa.” Elder Klive was all smiles, introducing the notorious three head honchos of the Dark Association to Yang Ling.

After successfully saving the three head honchos of the Dark Association, completing the thousand-year wish of the Dark Association and seeing the Great Elder who was like his mentor and father, he was more excited than anybody, filled with gratitude for Yang Ling. if not for Yang Ling’s great support, there was no way that the Dark Association could topple the Iron Edge Castle, nor would it be possible for them to defeat the powerful Angel Army.

“I’ve already prepared some fantastic wine in advance to celebrate the arrival of the three sirs. I wonder when you would have the time to come take a walk within the Magical Beast Territory?” Yang Ling was smiling, sitting down on the other side of the three head honchos of the Dark Association, inviting them to come to explore in his territory.

Elder Brent, who was a Divine-level Expert, was extremely powerful. He had managed to kill off several hundred of the Church’s elites with one strike back at the Underground Tomb. However, he did not dare fight the powerful Great Eight-winged Angel head-on, only struggling to hang on using his exceptional speed. He became covered in blood in just an hour, nearly meeting with misfortune on several occasions.

However, the Great Eight-winged Angel, who had pushed Elder Brent to the edge countless times, got cleaved in two with just a strike from the Great Commander of the Dark Association. All it took was one strike, one lethal strike. The might of the three head honchos of the Dark Association who had once lorded over the Tailun Continent was obvious!

After witnessing the battle capabilities of the Great Commander of the Dark Association, Yang Ling understood that his abilities were still far from comparable to the top-notch fighters within the continent. He knew just how far he still had to go on the road of cultivation. Faced with the overbearing Church, faced with the wrath that was about to befall him, it would be extremely beneficial for the territory to receive the support of the Dark Association, as well as the backing of the powerful three head honchos of the Dark Association.

“Hehe, the Terras Forest is a great place, we will head to the Magical Beast Territory sometime later!” The Great Elder of the Dark Association by the name of Rebraca smiled, pausing for a moment before he continued, “It’s been thousands of years, we’ve finally made it back above ground. Brother Yang Ling, we three have to thank you for your support.”

The Great Priest of the Dark Association, who was wearing a black robe, smiled at Yang Ling before closing her eyes, remaining motionless while wielding the Staff of Darkness. The Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries was a man of few words, wiping down his dark red saber gently with a piece of hide. The Great Elder Rebraca was extremely conversant, and his face was all smiles as he called Yang Ling his brother, quickly deepening the relationship between the two parties.

“That was all the contribution of Elder Klive. I was merely following behind him, you need not thank me, Elder!”

Yang Ling smiled, quickly taking out the best rum he had within his Space Ring and pouring everyone a cup. Smelling the heavy fragrance, the Great Commander Barbosa excitedly emptied his cup, wiping his mouth before snatching over the bottle of alcohol and gulping its contents down. The Great Priest Shanduria stared at him, eyes wide open as she shook her head, gently knitting her brow. Even though she was old, her skin was still fair and tender, with not a wrinkle on her face. She looked as if she was a young lady who was just eighteen years old.

Yang Ling smiled, seeing that the Great Commander was a drunkard. He took out the premium rum, willow wine, and cocktail that the bartender John and concocted specially for him from within his Space Ring, “The Magical Beast Territory is situated beside mountains and water. We do not have much, but we do have a lot of good alcohol. Drink as much as you want, Sir Barbosa!”

“Tsk, tsk, not bad!” Seeing Yang Ling piling bottle after bottle of delicious alcohol in front of him, the Great Commander Barbosa nodded with satisfaction, taking a huge swig at the premium willow wine. He took out a small bottle from within his robes after letting out a comfortable burp, “Young man, you sure are forthright. You are now the brother of Barbosa, come, take this Crystal Marrow of the Black Crystal!

Crystal Marrow of the Black Crystal?

Fetching over the bottle from Barbosa’s hands, looking at the drops of black Crystal Marrow within, Yang Ling was shocked. Elder Klive, who was beside him, was no exception. Crystals Marrows fetched an exorbitant price on the Tailun Continent, making them treasures one could never get too many of. Even though he knew about the Great Commander’s personality, Elder Klive would never have expected him to be this generous, giving an entire bottle of Crystal Marrow as a gift!

“Brother Yang Ling, the Black Crystal Marrow, is unlike your average Crystal Marrow. It is a treasure that is cultivated over millions of years by premium Black Crystals on the Death Dimension. It can not only increase the speed of your cultivation, but it can also boost the speed in which you fuse with divinities. A drop of it is hard to come by even in the Death Dimension, much less the Tailun Continent!” Seeing that Yang Ling was shocked, Great Elder Rebraca laughed, then said, “After consuming a drop of the Crystal Marrow, you can directly swallow another person’s divinity into your body and fuse with it, saving you a great deal of trouble. Furthermore, the effects of this Crystal Marrow is even more obvious on Magical Beasts. It could not only greatly increase their abilities and cultivation speed, but you can also even use it to activate their Spiritual Knowledge!”

A drop of it is hard to come by even on the Death Dimension?

Yang Ling swallowed with difficulty, understanding just how valuable the bottle of Dark Crystal Marrow in his hands was. Even though he had already expected that the three head honchos of the Dark Association would give him a valuable gift to express their gratitude, he did not expect the gift to be valuable to such an extent!

Merely one drop of it was enough to protect his body and allow him to consume divinities directly. It was no wonder that the Great Commander of the Dark Association could fearlessly consume the divinity of the Great Eight-winged Angel without blinking an eye after cleaving him in two with one strike. Merely this advantage would make people go crazy over the Crystal Marrows. After all, consuming the divinities could accelerate the understanding and assimilation of the divinity, as well as hide it within their bodies. It was not a trivial benefit.

“The Black Crystal Marrow is extremely precious, but every person or Magical Beast should only consume ten drops of it at most. The effects will deteriorate if you drink too much. You must not waste it!” The Great Priest kindly reminded Yang Ling, taking a gentle sip of the fragrant rum.

“Understood, thank you very much! This precious gift is just too shocking!” Yang Ling thanked the three head honchos of the Dark Association sincerely.

The cultivation of the Magical Beasts like the Purple Rat Little Ice and the Thousand-faced Mink had reached a bottleneck. It was possible for them to directly advance to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast and have a huge boost in ability by consuming one of these Crystal Marrows. The speed of his cultivation would also be accelerated, pushing him rapidly toward the level of Soul Wizard. Yang Ling appreciated this precious gift even more if they were to give him a Divine Weapon or a crystal mine!

“Hehe, the effects of the drops of Black Crystal Marrow you consume might not be as obvious as those you consumed at the start, but that is only relative. Consuming a large number of Crystal Marrows still brings about a great deal of benefits!” The Great Commander of the Dark Association laughed after wiping his mouth, breaking the clay seal on another vat of wine with his palm, “Back then, I received a reward from the King of Darkness and managed to break through my bottleneck after consuming a dozen bottles of the Black Crystal Marrow successively, becoming a Mid-level Deity.”

Consuming a dozen bottles successively?

Yang Ling was speechless. It was difficult for an average person even to obtain a drop of this treasure, yet he consumed a dozen bottles of the stuff in one go. It was no wonder that his abilities were that terrifying. “Sir Barbosa, after the level of High-level Deity is the Core Deity. What level would you reach if you achieved another breakthrough after you reach Core Deity?”

Even though he knew that a Low-level Deity would advance to become a Mid-level Deity, then to a High-level Deity and finally Core Deity from Elder Brent’s explanation, Yang Ling was always curious about what level one would reach if they trained past the level of Core Deity. He naturally would not miss the opportunity to learn about it, having the rare chance to meet powerful fighters like the three head honchos of the Dark Association.

“Divine Occupation. After reaching the level of Core Deity, receiving a Divine Occupation is everyone’s dream!” Barbosa went straight to the point, continuing, “If a Core Deity who has received a Divine Occupation achieved another breakthrough, they would become a powerful Dimensional Guardian or a terrifying Dimensional Wanderer!”

Seeing Yang Ling’s eyes open widely in confusion, the Great Elder of the Dark Association Rebraca smiled, adding on to Barbosa’s words, giving Yang Ling a further explanation of the general knowledge behind cultivation amongst Divine-level Experts.

As it turned out, in the eyes of the average person in the Tailun Continent, the level of a Divine-level Expert is as unattainable as a tall snowy peak. However, to the powerful fighters from the various other dimensions, the divine level is just a new beginning. Low-level Deity, Mid-level Deity, High-level Deity, each level was more powerful than the last, the gap between their abilities drastic. Advancing from High-level Deity to Core Deity was another starting point. Core Deities who have received a Divine Occupation could improve at an alarming rate, while Core Deities who did not might find it hard to advance for the rest of their lives.

Achieving another breakthrough as a Core Deity that has received a Divine Occupation would make one either a Dimensional Guardian or a terrifying Dimensional Wanderer. To them, the violent Space Turbulence would no longer be scary, and freely traversing between the countless dimensions would no longer be a pipe dream.

“Then how can one obtain a Divine Occupation? Also, can one possess a Divine Occupation without reaching the stage of Core Deity?” Yang Ling had more questions arising from the Great Elder Rebraca’s explanation. That feeling was as if he had unintentionally opened a window and saw a whole new world.

“In order to receive a Divine Occupation, you would have to understand a particular law completely. You have to wield a certain power and possess a great number of sincere followers, as well as receive an endless stream of Wish Power!” Elder Rebraca said as he tried his best to remember, gently stroking his white beard.

After a moment’s deliberation, he continued, “Under normal circumstances, a person who has not reached the stage of Core Deity would be unable to understand a law completely and, by extension, not be able to receive a Divine Occupation no matter how many devout followers he has. On the other hand, even if you completely understand a law, you would also be unable to obtain a Divine Occupation if you do not have enough devout followers and are unable to receive an endless stream of a substantial amount of Wish Power. Of course, other than the Six Main Dimensions, there are countless other physical dimensions and half-physical dimensions; There is no shortage of talents with different methods of cultivation. I am not too sure if there are any exceptions to that rule!”

Completely grasp a form of power and possess a large number of devout followers?

Yang Ling had a thought after understanding the situation with Great Elder Rebraca’s explanation. He remembered the feeling of how he could freely control Fire Element Energy within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space after capturing the Natural Spirit Fire. He thought about the bunch of soldiers he had thrown to the perimeter of the primordial forest and how they had begun to build up a village settlement. Faintly, he felt that he had captured the crux of the issue, a shred of understanding suddenly appearing in his heart.
