The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 128 - 128: Inhibition Strength

Double [Pupation]!

Double self-sealing!

This brings double digestion speed!

If stacked with [Deep Sleep], the digestion growth ability will be increased to four times the normal limit!

The key is, I practically have two [Breakthrough Slots] now!

Break through the bottleneck of two cultivation techniques at once, double the joy!

But the cost is quite high...

After a careful examination, Zhu Haomiao found that after double self-sealing, his various attributes are only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's, around the mid-level of Black Iron.

Directly dropped by two energy levels!

If I don't use the authority of the [Book of Black], I'm probably on par with those [tourists] now!

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao also noticed a small detail.

The cultivation technique breakthroughs achieved by [Pupation] from a conceptual perspective have become inert. Before [Breaking the Cocoon], I simply can't utilize their extraordinary power!

In other words, despite mastering three basic forces, the only one I can use now is [Storage Explosion]...

However, the realm of [Storage Explosion] isn't high at the moment, the power storage time is incredibly long, enough time for the enemy to kill me a hundred times!

This state is a bit dangerous...

Although in critical moments, I can actively remove the seal, forcefully break the cocoon, and tear open the pupa shell...

But brewing the breakthrough bottleneck will also fail at the last hurdle, and next time I'll have to start [Pupation] all over again...

Smacking his lips, Zhu Haomiao peacefully lay on the bed, covering himself with a blanket.

Sleep peacefully...

Just like the transforming dragons and snakes, lurking beneath the nine lands, quietly awaiting the awakening...

.........

Gurgle gurgle~

A groggy consciousness was awakened by a gnawing hunger, Zhu Haomiao slowly opened his eyes, hearing the thunderous rumbling echoing in the empty room.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~

The internal organs squirmed, roaring, expressing how famished they were!

Every cell in the body, every thread of the divine soul, was like parched, cracked earth, longing for the rain to fall from the sky.

It took several seconds to fully awaken, Zhu Haomiao sat up, rubbed his stomach, and sent his divine thought towards the [Book of Black].

[Gale Force]: LV.3→LV.4 (Small Success)

[Dexterity] +4

[Divine Thought] +1

The first thing that caught his eye was the [Gale Force] that had undergone transformation at some unknown time.

Noticing that the final great perfection bottleneck of [Stacked Waves Strength] still hadn't been broken through, Zhu Haomiao's eyes moved downward, suddenly lighting up with a glimmer.

[Divine Thought]: 12→19 (4)↑

[Dexterity]: 14→21 (2)↑

[Strength]: 16→23 (6)↑

[Essence]: 16→23 (1)↑

[Qi]: 15→22 (6)↑

[Body]: 16→23 (5)↑

A deep sleep, the six-dimensional attributes increased by an average of 7 points!

This is equivalent to two or three months of growth efficiency!

No wonder it consumed all the stored nutrition in the four-dimensional stomach!

More importantly...

Looking down at his chest, seeing the originally bright silver [Dragon Emblem] turn into brilliant gold, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but purse his lips.

Golden Level!

Even among the [Ascension Contestants], I'm considered a master!

And that's without considering the [Cultivation Realm] and the authority of the [Book of Black]!

If I go all out, can I contend with hegemony?

Subconsciously clenching his fist, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head.

Difficult!

The gap between Purple Gold Dominance and Gold is probably even greater than between Gold and Black Iron!

Moreover, the cultivation realm of hegemony might not be inferior to mine, perhaps even stronger!

And in their realm, who doesn't have a trick or two up their sleeve?

As long as they slightly negate the authority of the [Book of Black], I could be overwhelmed in all aspects!

So... a newly promoted rookie Gold shouldn't dream of matching hegemony...

Weak!

Just have to train more!

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao raised his head, gazing into the void, his deep eyes seemingly piercing through the thick layer of earth, reaching the nine-layered heaven above.

In the unseen forces, he felt a trace of suppression.

From the world, the Great Dao, the suppression of rules!

As if crossing an invisible boundary, his very existence has become a burden on this world!

Though just a hint, he faintly saw the limit of the First Layer Heaven!

So... after reaching the Golden Level, every step forward will become more difficult.

The concrete manifestation is that the growth rate will gradually slow down until it completely stops!

By then, staying in the First Layer Heaven will be meaningless, it should be time to ascend to a higher heavenly position sooner...

Mysteriously, Zhu Haomiao thought of certain elderly monsters in Xianxia novels who are unwilling to ascend and forcibly remain in the mortal realm.

But then he shook his head with a young man's laugh.

Among the billions of descenders at the Initial Heavenly Position, how many can touch the plane's limit before ascending?

The vast majority are opportunists, ascending with silver, bronze, or even black iron energy levels.

These people are destined not to go far. No matter which layer of heavenly position they reach, they are fated to be bottom-feeding ants!

The more you want to reach the High Sky Rank, the deeper your foundation needs to be...

There's even a saying, that if you want to ascend to the nine-layered heaven, every step of your ladder must be forged with Purple Gold!

Gurgle gurgle~

At this moment, the intense rumbling of his stomach interrupted Zhu Haomiao's deep thoughts.

The young man flipped out of bed, patted his cheeks, looked around, and sighed slightly.

This safe house is good for everything, except you can't order takeout...

Have to go out to eat myself...

Sigh... you can't have it both ways...

Shaking his head, Zhu Haomiao opened the heavy seven-pointed star bronze gate, and suddenly felt something, looking down at himself.

Due to the suppression of the Great Dao, just one [Pupation] digestion speed had slowed to a worrying pace...

Still need double the joy!

With a thought, Zhu Haomiao grabbed the void, casting more than a dozen [greed coins] into the [Book of Black].

[Gale Force]: LV.4 (Small Success·Bottleneck)

Nearly a decade of virtual memories surged into his mind like a flood, practicing diligently from dawn till dusk, finally cultivating the Fourth Level [Gale Force] to its limit, touching an invisible bottleneck.

Perhaps due to the great enhancement in the [Divine Thought] attribute, Zhu Haomiao easily digested the massive memories, as if personally experiencing nearly ten years of arduous cultivation in an instant!

Carefully comprehending the profoundness of the cultivation technique, the young man nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, my realm today is entirely due to my extraordinary talent and diligent cultivation!

Without the slightest bit of fraud!

[Book of Black]!

Add points!

With a thought, the intangible gray-white threads formed out of thin air, weaving around the young man's body into a solid [Pupa Shell] on the conceptual level.

Continuing to put the small success bottleneck of [Gale Force] into metamorphosis, Zhu Haomiao clenched his fist, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Compared to before the sleep, and the Black Iron after the double sealing, it seems I can barely maintain Bronze Junior-level strength now...
