Chapter Eighty-Four: The Third-Level Hall of Hell, New Functionality (4)

After returning to his room, Lin An could not wait to enter the Hall of Hell.

Though he had spent more than half of his soul points, the harvest far exceeded even his boldest expectations.

He obtained a broken Hall of Hell, which could be exchanged for one point one million soul points, and he could choose to do so at any time.

He obtained true dragon blood essence, which he could choose to fuse with.

His realm increased by three levels, bringing him to a two star Dou King.

He obtained a heavenly flame, the Azure Phoenix Flame.

He obtained a template of Xiao Yan, which he could transform into one of the Hall of Hell’s guardians.

A protagonist template could appear only with a chance when the true protagonist of a world emerged. It carried no memories of its former life and no emotions. With the fewest soul points, its strength could be raised, and it could preside over a branch hall. Once its realm advanced, it could directly inherit all the opportunities and techniques it had once possessed at that cultivation stage.

...

Looking at the rewards the system had extracted from Xiao Yan, Lin An was grinning so hard his mouth nearly split open.

Before Xiao Yan had died, Lin An had already wondered whether many things might be dropped, but now he understood that even what he had imagined then was far too little. To call this a massive drop would not be the slightest exaggeration.

Especially those soul points. They had been worth every bit of the cost. As long as Lin An was willing, he could now obtain one point one million soul points directly. Even the swiftest robber could hardly gather so many soul points this fast.

When Lin An asked whether the broken Hall of Hell had any other use, the answer he received was no. So, without the slightest hesitation, he chose to exchange it for one point one million soul points.

True dragon blood essence, fuse.

Azure Phoenix Flame, not bad either.

When Lin An saw the so called introduction to the protagonist template, he knew this haul had been a bargain, especially after seeing that the soul points required were only one tenth of what ordinary people would cost. The more he looked at it, the better it seemed.

Right now, he was in desperate need of a strong expert to hold the line, so Lin An used Xiao Yan’s template at once.

Before long, a figure much like Xiao Yan appeared before him, expressionless, like a puppet, with not the slightest ripple in his eyes.

“Greetings, Master,” Xiao Yan said.

“The name Xiao Yan can be discarded. From now on, you will be called Flame Emperor,” Lin An said.

The name, of course, was Lin An’s decision. Giving him the title of Flame Emperor was not bad at all.

In the end, Lin An spent only thirty thousand soul points to raise Flame Emperor’s realm to the level of a five star Dou Zun. It was simply too worthwhile.

With him holding the fort, in a small place like the Jia Ma Empire, he was basically invincible.

If he had not still needed to spend soul points later to upgrade the Hall of Hell, and if he had not needed to keep some in reserve for emergencies, Lin An would even have wanted to raise Flame Emperor all the way to the Dou Zong realm.

“As for Dou Zong, that can wait until later.”

Thinking of this, Lin An immediately began to have the system upgrade.

This upgrade would not take long either, only three days. By then, Lin An’s injuries would have mostly recovered.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin An could not wait to enter the Hall of Hell.

At once, he was stunned by everything before him.

The Hall of Hell had completely changed. Its space was vast, and Lin An had never seen such a magnificent great hall. The throne of the Hell Sovereign stood high upon the steps, a symbol of supreme authority.

Far ahead was a pitch black gate, forged from an unknown black mineral and engraved with countless profound patterns and designs, giving off a mysterious air.

Lin An walked up to the hall and pushed the gate open. Outside was a ruined road, and mysterious Other Shore flowers grew all around. The Hall of Hell was no longer merely a great hall; with its rising level, more functions were beginning to appear.

Lin An could hardly wait to see what abilities a level three Hall of Hell possessed.

The Myriad Worlds Traversal function unlocked. Ten days later, the first teleportation will begin. Destination unknown.

“If I’m sent to another world, can I still come back to the Battle Through the Heavens world?”

Lin An asked inwardly. He was about to become engaged to Nalan Yanran; if he suddenly vanished at such a time, he would probably be cursed as a scoundrel.

Only after the system said that level three permissions allowed him to remain in another world for just half a year did Lin An finally feel at ease. Once the Hall of Hell reached level four in the future, he would be able to exchange for a Plane Travel Talisman from the system and return to any world he had already reached.

As for what would happen when the Hall of Hell continued to rise in level afterward, even taking others to roam the myriad worlds would not be difficult.

A new function unlocked: establish City God Temples.

City God Temples could be established in major towns. The person chosen by the host would become the City God, and the City God would possess the ability to appoint junior underworld envoys, the power to cultivate with yin energy, and the cultivation bonuses of the Hall of Hell.

The City God Temple’s function surprised Lin An a little, but it could also gather soul points for him to the greatest extent. In the future, when he wanted to obtain soul points, the speed would be much greater.

After all, reaching level four required ten million soul points. If he relied on the original collection speed, who knew how long that would take? Now that the City God Temple existed, Lin An believed that ten million soul points should be easy enough to obtain.

More importantly, he already had suitable candidates in mind for many places.

One of the Six Paths, the Beast Path, unlocked. The beast souls of powerful demonic beasts and magical beasts can be converted into soul points.

This surprised Lin An somewhat. It seemed that everything within the Six Paths would continue to be unlocked later on.

The Myriad Worlds Shop unlocked. Each day, ten items from the myriad worlds will appear at random. The host may spend soul points to exchange for them. Item appearance is completely random, and no outside force can interfere.

The Myriad Worlds Shop sounded exciting at first, but once Lin An saw that only ten items would appear at random, he felt a little disappointed. He probably had already used up all his luck on this transmigration.

Good things, he supposed, were unlikely to come his way in this lifetime.

The second level of the Six Paths Reincarnation Art.

This was at least something concrete. The enhancements from the first level of the Six Paths Reincarnation Art had already been terrifying. Because the art was incomplete, Lin An had already felt a bottleneck beginning to form in his cultivation.

Now that he had the second level of the Six Paths Reincarnation Art, the backlash from using Hell’s Descent was gone, but there was a limit to its uses. It could only be used once a day, which was much better than before.

There were still many other functions, and it would probably be impossible for Lin An to understand them all in the short term.

For now, the urgent matter was to decide on the City God, and then establish the City God Temple.

Lin An left his room and found Yun Yun.

“Your injuries have already healed?”

Yun Yun could tell that Lin An’s injuries had completely recovered. Such a terrifying recovery speed was probably something only Lin An could manage.
