Chapter 165: Constructing the Forbidden Ground
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Romo could not believe that he had really reached the Longevity Realm. After all, only by reaching this realm could he become a Mage of the peak.
If he was only at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, his normal lifespan would only be 300 years. However, if he could advance to the Longevity Realm, his lifespan would be more than 1,000 years.
Furthermore, as his level increased, his lifespan would continue to increase.
“What a pity.” Romo walked out from the joy of leveling up and sighed. He regretted his decision.
What he felt regretful about was that if this Enlightenment Talisman had come a little earlier, or if he had used the Night Travel Talisman a little later, with his current ability, he would be able to charge directly into the four large family clans and teach them a lesson.!!
However, Romo thought carefully. If that was the case, it might be even more difficult to clean up the mess. The consequences would be unimaginable. Since it had already taken place, there was no need for him to regret it.
Moreover, leaving the grudges of the four large family clans to his descendants to resolve was also a chance for them to train. After all, they could not rely on the Old Ancestor for everything. The Old Ancestor only provided protection at the critical moment, there was no need for him to do everything for them.
In doing so, they would have fewer opportunities to train, which would be detrimental to their development.
After all, Romo was already at the Longevity Realm and could be considered a powerful pillar of the Nicholas family. Even if he could not bring his descendants out to take revenge, if someone pursued them to their doorstep, he would be more than able to teach them a lesson.
If the four large family clans were to come to the Nicholas family immediately, Romo was confident that they would not be able to return.
With him as a strong backer, the descendants of the Nicholas family had nothing to worry about. When their cultivation base gradually became stronger, they would be able to protect the family clan. By then, they would no longer need their Old Ancestor.
Romo then used all the 40 Special-Grade Experience Talismans in his inventory.
[The host’s level has increased to level-2 of the Longevity Realm]
[The host’S level has increased to level-3 of the Longevity Realm]
With the help of the 40 Special-Grade Experience Talismans, Romo’s cultivation base increased by two levels in a row. After reaching the Longevity Realm, the experience required would increase exponentially.
After Romo had finished his advancement, he checked the other rewards.
[Family Clan’s Forbidden Ground Construction Talisman: It can be used to construct a family clan’s forbidden ground. Members of the family clan will receive additional bonuses within the forbidden ground.]
Romo had seen this tool when he was using the Special-Discount Store Beckoning Talisman previously. At that time, Romo had been a little tempted, but it would have cost 200,000 Faith Points. Romo thought it was a little too expensive, so he did not buy it. He did not expect the System to take the initiative to let go of one.
This construction talisman was a type of spell that conformed with the Family Clan Formation Construction
Talisman. As long as the location and direction could be determined, the construction could be carried out directly.
Romo thought for a long time about where to build the forbidden ground. In the end, he decided to build it under the ancestral hall.
This was Romo•s little idea. If it was built here, the entire Nicholas family would be under his control. Moreover, below the ancestral hall was a very well-hidden place that would not be easily discovered by too many people.
Taking another step back, if something were to happen in the future, he could spend some Faith Points and change the location.
The family clan’s forbidden ground, as well as the family clan’s protective formation could be moved at will.
[Command Confirmation: The use of the Family Clan’s Forbidden Ground Construction Talisman has been successful. Please select the location and area for the construction]
With the System notifications, Romo could see a three-dimensional image of the Nicholas palace. He directly chose the location below the ancestral hall without hesitation and decided on the area. It was almost identical to the size of the ancestral hall.
The construction of the family clan’s forbidden ground was basically the same as the family clan’s protective formation. Subsequently, he would have to use Faith Points or tools to continuously upgrade and expand it.
[Family Clan’s Forbidden Ground Construction completed]
With the System notification, Romo could see that there was an additional 20 square meters of space below the ancestral hall, and the entrance was in a concealed place.
The System also popped out a message for Romo. [Family Clan’s Forbidden Ground Level: Level-I]
[Capacity Limit: One person]
[Special Effect of the Forbidden Ground: Twofold increase in comprehension, tenfold increase in cultivation, tenfold increase in healing]
[Faith Points required for upgrade: 50,000 points]
To put it bluntly, this family clan’s forbidden ground was a special area in the family clan’s formation. One could cultivate and recuperate from one’s injuries here, and it had a certain bonus effect. Furthermore, it could be stacked with other enhancements.
Although a family clan’s level-I forbidden ground could only hold one person, and its effects were not obvious, it could still level up bit by bit.
In the end, there was only one tool left, which was [Guardian Spirit Beast Breakthrough Talisman: This was specially for use by the family clan’s Guardian Spirit Beast. It can assist it to break through a bottleneck].
These rewards seemed to be simply tailor-made for Romo. They were all of use to him now.
This tool was naturally going to be used on the Five-Color Divine Beast. Currently, the Five-Color Divine Beast was already at the peak of level-6. If it could advance to level-7, its strength would be equivalent to a Mage of the Longevity Realm, and it would be able to move freely.
However, Romo felt that this tool might not succeed immediately. After all, there was a certain difference between a human and a divine beast. Therefore, Romo felt that the current situation was not critical and was not in a hurry to use it.
Next was the [Family Clan Protective Formation Upgrade Talisman].
[Command Confirmation: To use the Family Clan Protective Formation Upgrade Talisman]
[Family Clan Protective Formation has been upgraded to level-4. Base value has been increased. Tenfold Cultivation
Halo has been upgraded to a Thirty-fold Cultivation Halo. Realm Breakthrough Halo’s effect has been increased by
40%. The Enlightenment Halo’s effect has been increased by three-fold. Attack Rebound effect has been enhanced, The effect of the Inner Demon Purifying Halo has been increased]
[Inner Demon Purification Halo: Within the range of the family clan’s formation, the probability of an Inner Demon appearing among the family members would be reduced by 50%.]
Inner Demons were troubles which everyone who cultivated was bound to encounter during cultivation. The higher one’s cultivation base, the higher the probability of an Inner Demon appearing, and the higher the level of the Inner Demon, the more difficult it was to overcome. If one did not deal with it properly, one might go berserk and enter a land of eternal damnation.
Previously, Romo had once formed an Inner Demon because of the death of his friend, and he almost failed. After that, the Inner Demon had not been completely eliminated and was always by his side. Therefore, in the end, he did not successfully reach the Longevity Realm, which was partly because of the Inner Demon.
Currently, Romo could also not guarantee that the Inner Demon no longer existed. After all, Romo was constantly using the Experience Talismans to suppress the Inner Demon and at the same time, he had cultivated a higher-level of magical power. This was why the Inner Demon had never appeared..
