Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 361: Three-Year Goal

"Rejected!"

At the Upper Qing Sect, Lin Ling looked at the private messages in the Divine Kingdom chat group and shook his head silently.

Shen Xue’s rejection did not surprise him.

Even though the other party clearly stated in words that the Snow Mountain Holy Hall did not control a world, Lin Ling was still sure his guess was correct.

The Snow Mountain Holy Hall’s refusal was perfectly normal.

If it were the Upper Qing Sect that controlled a hidden world, they wouldn’t reveal it easily, let alone share it with other sect forces.

Unless—

It was a world that even the controlling force couldn’t fully assimilate, then there would be a possibility of sharing it.

"The Dimension Gate is indeed an extremely powerful Forbidden Spell, just the ability to randomly open a world makes it potentially more powerful than eighth or ninth-tier Forbidden Spells.

Unfortunately, the Upper Qing Sect doesn’t have any mages in the Magic System, otherwise they could emulate the Snow Mountain Holy Hall—"

For a moment. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Ling considered training a mage and then using the resources of the Upper Qing Sect to forcibly push him to the seventh tier, allowing him to learn the Dimension Gate to open Otherworld Gates for the Upper Qing Sect.

But after thinking it over.

Lin Ling ultimately dismissed this idea.

The idea was good.

But implementing it wasn’t that easy.

Training a seventh-tier mage would cost at least tens of billions in contributions, not to mention the subsequent cost of exchanging for the Dimension Gate Forbidden Spell.

In total.

It’s likely to cost more than a hundred billion in contributions.

With the current foundation of the Upper Qing Sect, even having a hundred billion contributions is difficult, let alone a thousand billion.

After all.

Not everyone can obtain the legacy of an ancient great sect or a Quasi-Emperor.

Thinking of someone who has received the Quasi-Emperor’s legacy and possesses hundreds of billions of contribution points, Lin Ling shook his head silently.

"In that case."

"There’s no need to think about the Dimension Gate for the time being. For the Upper Qing Sect to break through, it can only focus on the Taiyuan Realm!"

Lin Ling gazed towards the direction of the Northern Continent.

The Taiyuan Realm, as a cultivation civilization, contains countless opportunities, but exploring these opportunities is not easy.

During this period.

Lin Ling entered the Taiyuan Realm numerous times, but ultimately did not find any useful opportunities.

"Three years... If I can’t gain any opportunities within three years, I’ll break through to the seventh tier, since staying at the sixth tier for too long is no benefit!"

In the end.

Lin Ling set a goal for himself.

To accumulate enough foundation in three years to overcome the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

Otherwise.

He will directly break through.

Given Lin Ling’s current foundation and the advantage of the Dao Divine Body, passing the Seven-Nine or Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation is certainly not a major issue.

But when it comes to the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, Lin Ling has no confidence.

Therefore.

In the next three years, he will strive to find other opportunities to enhance his foundation and cultivation.

However, if there’s no progress within three years, Lin Ling won’t continue to stay at the sixth-tier realm.

In today’s era, staying at the sixth tier doesn’t allow one to sway decisions.

Only by breaking through to the seventh tier can one have the qualifications to participate.

Below the seventh tier.

To be blunt, it’s no different from being cannon fodder.

...

Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Zhang Ming looked at Shen Xue’s words, his face also showing a hint of regret.

A world capable of nurturing seventh-tier Fierce Beasts surely held a chance for his own breakthrough.

After all, Zhang Ming himself possessed the Fighting Saint Body, which could only be continuously stimulated in life-and-death battles, allowing his strength to transform to a higher level.

It can be said.

During the outbreak of world wars, Zhang Ming’s strength broke through the fastest.

Fighting against the strong.

Engaging in life-and-death battles.

Every step is like walking on a cliff’s edge.

The Fighting Saint Body was inherently born for battle; if trained stably, it was somewhat inferior to other Divine and Saint Bodies.

Therefore.

When thinking about the Snow Mountain Holy Hall possibly controlling a world with powerful Fierce Beasts, Zhang Ming wanted to enter and realize his path through battling the beasts.

Unfortunately.

The Snow Mountain Holy Hall refused.

Though regretful, Zhang Ming was not discouraged.

If he were from the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, he probably wouldn’t share such a world either.

"No need to think about the Snow Mountain Holy Hall for now. In the Taiyuan Realm, the two sides are somewhat restrained; as for the Immortal Extinction Realm, the opportunities there have mostly been excavated.

Even if new opportunities emerge, they will likely belong to those Sacred Lands and Empires.

Ordinary cultivation forces have little chance of intervening."

Zhang Ming shook his head slightly.

The Immortal Extinction Realm has now merged into the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and the resources of that world naturally are beyond the reach of cultivators from the Cyan Yang Realm.

Moreover.

The overall strength of the Immortal Extinction Realm is far superior to that of the Cyan Yang Realm.

If they really tear off the mask, the strength on the Cyan Yang Realm’s side would not be a match for the Immortal Extinction Realm.

Furthermore.

If a war breaks out between the Cyan Yang and Immortal Extinction Realms, that Divine Emperor is unlikely to intervene.

After all, at most, such a conflict could only be considered an internal struggle.

In the end.

Zhang Ming looked above to the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space, witnessing scenes in the vast starry sky.

"Could it be that I really need to take a chance in the Starry Sky?"

For the Starry Sky.

Zhang Ming harbored a deep apprehension.

The dangers of the Cosmic Starry Sky are not something a sixth-tier cultivator can withstand.

Slightly stronger threats could pose a catastrophic disaster to a sixth-tier cultivator.

But the issue is.

Presently, the Dragon and Tiger Sect doesn’t hold many contribution points, and the resources of the entire Cyan Yang Realm aren’t particularly abundant; even as a major sect in the Cyan Yang Realm, the Dragon and Tiger Sect can control only limited resources.

"Staying in the Cyan Yang Realm, even if I break through to the seventh tier later, my achievements would probably be incomparable to others; it seems it is time to take a gamble in the Starry Sky.

If I truly possess the favor of fortune, I can pass unharmed.

But if fate is not on my side, then falling is not to be blamed on anyone else!"

Zhang Ming took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.

Things have come to this point, and he had no reason to hesitate any longer.

Although the Starry Sky holds Fierce Beasts, it is also full of opportunities.

The cultivators who ventured into the Starry Sky from the Divine Observation Kingdom chat group, though the majority perished, some found opportunities, leading to breakthroughs in their cultivation.

If he were an ordinary cultivator, Zhang Ming wouldn’t think too much, steadily cultivating, advancing step by step without demanding too much of himself in matters of same-tier combat strength.

However.

Zhang Ming is not an ordinary cultivator.

He is the Sect Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, a Fighting Saint Body possessor, and as a former top-notch powerhouse in the Cyan Yang Realm, Zhang Ming doesn’t wish to eventually blend into the crowd.

Therefore.

He must initiate change himself.
