As Lin Cheng's consciousness spread, the entire fifth and sixth levels of the underground palace were enveloped.
At this moment, the Hundred Rivers Run into the Sea mental cultivation method was activated, and the absorption technique was activated.
The existence of internal strength originated from the sublimation of the human body's essence, spirit, and spirit. The consciousness had a strong control over it.
After reaching Celestial Being Realm and mastering the use of spiritual power, even Lin Cheng could not forcefully absorb the power of others.
However, if the target lost consciousness, it would be different. In this state, the internal strength's ability to resist would become very weak.
At this moment, the cultivators sleeping in the underground palace were in such a situation. The Inner Breath in their bodies was easily absorbed by the Spatial Absorption Technique and gathered towards Lin Cheng.
After that, the internal energy was reduced to the purest form of essence and blood, which was then refined and absorbed by Lin Cheng.
Nearly 800 Pre-Sky Realm martial artists had provided Lin Cheng with 30,000 units of internal strength with a cohesion of 1.
The 3,000 Xiantian Realm warriors provided Lin Cheng with 700,000 units of internal strength with a cohesion of 1.
Although the remaining 22 first level Heaven Tier martial artists far surpassed Xiantian Houtian Realm martial artists in terms of the quality and quantity of their power, they were too few in number.
In the end, he only provided Lin Cheng with 120,000 units of internal strength with a cohesion of 1.
After refining it, Lin Cheng obtained the equivalent of 800,000 years worth of energy with a cohesion of 1.
This large amount of essence, blood, and Qi was being refined by Lin Cheng continuously to cultivate and increase his own essence, Qi, and spirit.
His body, which had been drained due to his long slumber, was instantly replenished by a huge amount of Essence Qi and blood. Then, Lin Cheng's cultivation began to show a rapid growth trend, and his physique and spirit were also tempered.
As time passed, Lin Cheng's cultivation quickly broke through the 3,000-year mark.
And this was only the beginning. After a while, Lin Cheng's cultivation level had exceeded 3,500 years, and finally stopped at the height of 4,000 years.
At this moment, Lin Cheng's essence, blood, and Qi were all used up.
"The growth of physique and spirit seems to have reached a limit. At the beginning, only a portion of the Essence Qi and blood were consumed to strengthen it. Later on, the Essence Qi and blood refined were all converted into Inner Breath growth.”
"Don't tell me that I have to first absorb my strength to the limit of what I can bear at this stage, and achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change. Only then can my physique and spirit make obvious progress?”
Lin Cheng opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He frowned and pondered.
At this moment, his power had doubled compared to before, and there was an extremely terrifying sense of power spreading through his body.
This surge of Inner Breath had greatly enhanced Lin Cheng's instantaneous explosive power and his ability to continue fighting. Although it did not bring about a qualitative change to Lin Cheng, his strength had indeed increased by a lot.
However, this did not bring much joy to Lin Cheng.
What Lin Cheng wanted wasn't an increase in his battle prowess. What he wanted was a transformation of his life essence and an increase in his lifespan.
"Four thousand years of cultivation is far from reaching the upper limit of my current body. Next, I will continue to absorb cultivation to increase my Inner Breath and see if I can achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change.”
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng's expression became calm.
He adjusted to the sudden increase in strength in his body to ensure that he was still in absolute control.
Then, Lin Cheng walked out of the warehouse.
At this time, Zuo Xiangyu and the other two were still waiting outside.
However, they were not idle. Instead, they sat at the side and each took a document to read. While waiting for Lin Cheng, they were also dealing with the daily affairs of the Human Realm Upon Heavens.
Seeing Lin Cheng come out, Zuo Xiangyu stood up to welcome him and said with a smile,""Autarch, your refining speed is getting faster and faster. This time, less than a day has passed.”
Lin Cheng did not dwell on this matter. He nodded and said,"Take me to the mine and harvest those sinners.”
In the past years, other than those martial artists who were nearing the end of their lifespans, the assassins from Beyond Avalon had also captured many martial artists who had committed crimes.
As these people were still in their prime, they were not immediately locked up and frozen. Instead, they were placed in the mines to mine, allowing them to create economic value while continuing to accumulate strength.
The number of these people was not small. The accumulation of more than a hundred years had already become a very huge number.
"Alright. Autarch, please follow me.”
Zuo Xiangyu said without hesitation.
Raising these sinners was to make use of waste and maximize their value.
However, if Lin Cheng needed to, it was no big deal to kill them in advance. Everything was done according to the will of the Supreme Being.
Killing these sinners and sending the power guarding them to do something else would not be too bad.
The group of four moved and flew through the air. Soon, they arrived at the mine located at a corner of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
On the surface, there was nothing special about this place. It was a refined iron mine operated by the Money Gang.
On the road connecting the mine to the outside world, there were many caravans coming and going to purchase ores. They placed them on the stone tablet at the entrance of the mine with the words Hengduan Iron Mine written on it, indicating the name of the place.
"There are currently more than thirty thousand martial artists working in this mine. After deducting the cost of the ores produced each year, the surplus profit is about two million taels of silver.”
"This is because we spent a lot of money to prepare food for these people in case they don't have the strength to cultivate. These sinners are all martial artists and have the strength to crack stones. It's indeed quite efficient to use them as miners.”
"Near the entrance of the mine, we have deployed a large number of experts to prevent those criminals from escaping.”
"There are many Grade B Assassins in the Human Realm Upon Heavens who have yet to finish their apprenticeship here. They are here to train their combat experience by fighting with the martial artists who tried to escape from the prison.”
"Supreme Martial Artist, we came at the right time. Those sinners are about to finish their work today, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop.”
Standing high in the sky, the four of them looked down at the iron mine below. At this time, Zuo Xiangyu opened his mouth to explain.
They could earn money and train their combat experience. The skills accumulated after their deaths would also become resources for Lin Cheng to become stronger. The remaining value of these sinners was indeed used to the extreme.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Lin Cheng urgently needed to verify the path ahead, it would be a pity to kill them.
"Let's go down."
Lin Cheng said, descending from the clouds.
By now, the sky was already dark, and the caravans that came to purchase had all left.
Many sinner miners had just moved out of today's profits from the mine and were ready to go to the canteen to eat.
It was also at this moment that Lin Cheng silently landed on the ground. He spread out his palms and spread out his consciousness to envelop all the sinner martial artists in the mine. Then, he activated the Void Absorption Technique.
In the next moment, all the sinner martial artists froze on the spot.
They could feel the power in their bodies draining away. They wanted to scream and beg for mercy, but they could not open their mouths at all.
Not long after, all of these sinners 'powers were stripped away and turned into resources for Lin Cheng to become stronger.
