As the system's voice sounded, the Immortal Rank Auxiliary Class Upgrade Card transformed into a stream of light, enveloping his entire body and forming a lotus platform beneath him.
At the same time, a large number of insights about Immortal Rank puppeteers flooded into his mind. As these insights were rapidly consumed, one after another primal puppet runes lit up on the lotus platform, and Lin An's aura was also undergoing tremendous changes.
"It's a direct promotion! I thought they'd send me into the Sea of Origin."
Lin An thought to himself, "In this way, I won't need the remaining 30 billion attribute points."
While Lin An was busy absorbing the insights of the Immortal Puppet Master, the changes he underwent surprised Qin Shao and the others.
"Brother Lin, are you aiming to directly break through to the Immortal Puppet Master level?"
Qin Shao exclaimed in surprise, "Moreover, the Auxiliary Cultivation Lotus Platform has already taken shape; failure is virtually impossible."
Everyone stared at Lin An as if he were a monster.
There are generally two methods for supplementary cultivation to break through realms.
One option is to enter the Sea of Origin of the corresponding secondary cultivation, and through comprehending the original primordial runes, elevate one's secondary cultivation to the Immortal Rank.
This is considered taking a shortcut. Although it doesn't mean that entering the Sea of Origin will automatically make you Immortal Rank, it will definitely reduce the difficulty significantly.
The second method is to gain insight and achieve a breakthrough through natural processes.
However, this method is the most difficult. Many people, even if they have already reached the peak of the Sovereign Rank in their secondary cultivation, may be stuck for their entire lives and unable to break through.
Even Qin Shao and the others first raised their cultivation level to Immortal, and then used their secondary cultivation to raise their cultivation level to Immortal.
Lin An currently only at the Sovereign Realm, but if he were to follow the normal path to become Immortal Puppet Master, the difficulty would only be greater.
Although it was clearly more difficult, everyone knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Lin An would be able to steadily reach the level of an Immortal Rank Puppet Master when they saw the Auxiliary Cultivation Lotus Platform rising beneath him.
"I thought Brother Lin was already monstrous and abnormal, but I didn't expect that we were just too short-sighted," Xu Taosheng couldn't help but say.
Compared to Lin An, he suddenly felt that he had wasted thousands of years of his life.
"Let alone now, even in ancient times, Brother Lin would have been an absolute prodigy. No one could have compared to him in the path of secondary cultivation," Wang Qinyue said.
They lived long lives and saw countless geniuses and prodigies; some even lived through ancient times.
Even so, no one can compare to Lin An.
"What do you think the old fogies in the Land of Rules would look like if they knew about Brother Lin's situation?" Wei Yu asked.
"It will definitely be incredibly exciting."
Zhou Chang laughed and said, "If Brother Lin breaks through to Immortal at the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven, he will surely be treated like a rare treasure by those old guys when he goes to the Land of Rules."
"Not necessarily. Don't forget that besides our Human Race, there are countless other races in the Land of Rules."
Qin Shao said, "Although the various races have joined forces now, other races may not necessarily be happy to see our Human Race have such a monstrous talent as Brother Lin rise to prominence."
"What's there to be afraid of? Although no one in our Human Race exists Eternal, with the Heavenly Sword here, those guys wouldn't dare to do anything to Human Race."
Xu Taosheng sneered, "After all, the Heavenly Sword doesn't just Sin-Slaying, it also slays all living beings of myriad races."
"There's no need to worry. If Brother Lin breaks through to Immortal at the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven, even if he only reaches the Immortal First Grade, his combat power will be incomparable to that of ordinary Immortal experts."
Qin Shao laughed and said, "Not to mention that Brother Lin has so many auxiliary cultivators and numerous methods; dealing with him won't be so easy."
Everyone nodded. Although Lin An was only at the Sovereign Realm Ninth Grade, they felt that even Immortal First Grade expert would have a hard time keeping Lin An here.
Of course, if Lin An were to set up the formation, even Immortal Ninth Grade would be no match for him, since there are more than one Immortal Ninth Grade Sin Beast that have died at Lin An's hands.
Three days passed quickly.
[You have become the first Immortal Rank Puppeteer in the entire server, and you have received an additional reward: Foundation of Puppetry.]
When the system's voice sounded again, the puppet lotus platform beneath Lin An shone brightly, and at the same time, another crack appeared on the Lifespan Shackles.
"The puppeteer has also reached the Immortal Rank, but it's not over yet."
With that thought in mind, Lin An used another Immortal Rank Auxiliary Class Upgrade Card.
[You have used Immortal Rank Auxiliary Class Upgrade Card. Your Sub-Profession, Runemaster, is being upgraded...]
As the new lotus platform rose again, Qin Shao and the others' words of congratulations caught in their throats.
"Let's protect Brother Lin properly," Qin Shao said with a smile. Everyone nodded, protecting Lin An while also keeping an eye on the movements of the Sin Beast outside.
Three days later, Lin An's talisman mastery also reached Immortal, but Lin An still did not stop.
Time passed day by day.
More than ten days later.
[You have become the first Immortal Rank Spirit Plant Master in the entire server, and you have received an additional reward: Foundation of Spiritual Plants.]
As the system's voice faded, thirteen out of Lin An's twenty secondary professions had already reached the Immortal Rank.
"Use the Foundation of Spiritual Plants."
[You used the Foundation of Spiritual Plants; your Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation effect has been enhanced.]
[ Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation ]: Awakened One Talent. All minor cultivation items you create (cultivate) have their effects increased by 7000%, the time required for creation (cultivation) is reduced by 95%, the success rate of creation (cultivation) is increased to 100%, and the chance of benign mutation is increased by 95%. You can continue to fuse new Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation to enhance their effects.
Seeing the seventy-fold effect, Lin An's face was full of smiles. Now, if he used the Nine Tribulations Myriad Phenomena Formation again, its power would increase seventy times.
Then Lin An paused, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.
He discovered that the Lifespan Shackles were now riddled with cracks, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.
"Once a secondary profession reaches the Immortal Rank, it can impact the Lifespan Shackles."
"In other words, even if I don't break through to the Immortal Realm, I still have a chance to break through the Lifespan Shackles by relying on my Immortal Rank secondary profession."
Lin An couldn't help but look at the seven new secondary professions: Incense Master, Spell Master, Poison Master, Dream Master, Earth Vein Master, Spirit Builder, and Astrologer, all of which were currently only at the Black Iron Tier.
"If I were to elevate these seven secondary professions to the Immortal Rank as well, could I break free from the Lifespan Shackles?"
The thought flashed through Lin An's mind, and he immediately decided to give it a try.
It takes approximately 24 million attribute points to upgrade from the Black Iron Tier to the Mythic Rank limit.
Even with all seven secondary professions upgraded together, it only amounted to 168 million, which was nothing to Lin An still had over 30 billion attribute points.
"System, add points."
[Your incense mastery level has been raised to Bronze Tier.]
[Your incense mastery level has been increased to Silver Tier.]
[Your incense mastery level has been raised to Gold Tier.]
[...]
As attribute points were rapidly consumed, Lin An's seven secondary professions were also rapidly upgrading in quality.
[Your incense mastery level has been raised to the Mythic Rank cap.]
[Your Astrologer proficiency has been increased to the Mythic Rank cap.]
[Your Poison Master proficiency has been increased to the Mythic Rank cap.]
[...]
Soon, the proficiency of these seven secondary professions reached the Mythic Rank cap.
"I happen to have seven King Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Card on me."
Thinking it over, Lin An used all seven King Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Card.
[Your secondary profession, Incense Master, has been upgraded to King Rank.]
[Your secondary profession, Astrologer, has been upgraded to King Rank.]
[Your secondary profession, Poison Master, has been upgraded to King Rank.]
[...]
After upgrading all seven secondary professions to King Rank, the next step is to prepare to upgrade them to Sovereign Rank.
"System, add more points."
