1047 Helping the Monster to Increase Its Origin

Today marked the 28th day since Team Origin arrived at the sixth level of the Wind Barrier in the tower.

There were only two days left until the territory barrier would disappear.

During these two days, Liu Yan could finally relax and rest within the territory.

All the preparations had already been made, and Liu Yan's strength had increased rapidly. He had already reached a combat strength of 21 stars.

This level of combat strength was extremely formidable, even within an old territory, let alone a new one.

In fact, within the entire Lakon Territory, which included the top 1000 ranked territories, there were only about ten experts with a combat strength of 20 stars or higher, according to the memories Liu Yan had uncovered.

Liu Yan's combat strength could likely rank within the top three among the Lakon Territories.

It could be said that Liu Yan had pushed his strength to the limit within this limited time frame.

As for the Origin Territory, it had also developed quite well and had already been upgraded to a level-3 territory.

With a wealth of resources brought from the Lighthouse Territory's warehouse, the Origin Territory was currently not lacking in supplies.

Two days ago, when Liu Yan ventured deep into the Hallucinatory Forest alone, Luo Qingcheng and Chu Long used these abundant resources to develop the Origin Territory.

The Origin Territory, which had only recently been upgraded to level-3, had now completed the upgrade of various buildings, reaching level-4.

The current state of the Origin Territory could be described as the late stage of a level-3 territory.

As long as certain conditions were met and materials gathered, it would be possible to upgrade it to a level-4 territory.

The development speed of the Origin Territory was already extremely impressive.

After all, for other new territories at the same time, reaching a level-2 territory at this point was already considered good, and having a level-3 territory was a rarity.

Not only had the Origin Territory reached level-3, but it was also on the verge of reaching level-4. The most crucial factor was that the Lord's token for the Origin Territory possessed platinum potential.

A Lord's token with high potential implied that the Origin Territory's overall strength far surpassed other territories of the same level.

The development of the Origin Territory had been successful in every aspect.

The last task remaining was to enhance the strength of the members of Team Origin.

With previous battle experience and an abundance of cultivation resources, the team members of Team Origin experienced remarkable growth during this period.

Now, with the assistance of the essence pool, all team members would be able to enhance their essence.

Liu Yan looked at the sky, which had already darkened completely. He estimated that it had been five to six hours since he had emerged from the essence pool.

For Awakened who entered the essence pool, it took about three hours to complete their essence enhancement.

Calculating this, the ordinary members of Team Origin's Second Squad had nearly finished enhancing their essence.

Considering the time, all Team Origin members would likely complete their essence enhancement by tomorrow afternoon.

With that in mind, Liu Yan decided to take some rest.

After several consecutive days of busyness and intense battles, Liu Yan had not had a chance to properly rest for many days.

Now that he had some rare free time, he naturally intended to take a good rest and adjust his state to better prepare for the upcoming territory war after the territory barrier disappeared!

...

On the 29th day, in the afternoon.

Liu Yan had a lazy nap and slept until the afternoon.

When he walked out of the wooden house, Luo Qingcheng approached.

"The seven squads have all entered the essence pool and enhanced their essence. At this point, all the members of our Team Origin have elevated their essence," reported Luo Qingcheng.

Hearing this, Liu Yan nodded slightly to indicate his understanding.

"Oh, by the way." Luo Qingcheng remembered something and added, "Wang Long and his group didn't join our Origin Territory. They wanted to enter the essence pool just now, but I didn't allow them."

"You did the right thing." Liu Yan nodded in agreement.

Since Wang Long's group hadn't become members of the Origin Territory, Liu Yan naturally wouldn't allow them to enter the essence pool and enjoy such benefits.

Building the essence pool had been no small feat. First, he had to complete a difficult S-grade mission by defeating the Flame Demon King to earn the right to construct it. Then, he had to gather a multitude of high-level rare materials.

In his quest to find the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, Liu Yan had even ventured alone into the Hallucinatory Forest, taking considerable risks to locate it.

After overcoming numerous challenges, he finally succeeded in constructing the essence pool.

Now that they could reap these exceptional benefits, Liu Yan wouldn't allow awakened who weren't members of the Origin Territory to enter and partake in these advantages.

Luo Qingcheng continued, "Now that everyone has elevated their essence, each team member is in great condition. They are all diligently cultivating and leveraging their newfound talents to rapidly boost their strength."

"Yes, since there isn't much to do shortly, let them focus on cultivating and enhancing their strength, preparing for the upcoming territory battles," Liu Yan concurred.

Liu Yan had previously improved his essence with the assistance of Zhong Yuntian, the principal of Lighthouse Academy. Consequently, he was well aware of how it felt to enhance his essence.

During the initial stages of enhancing their essence, individuals might not experience a significant increase in their strength.

However, this was the nature of enhancing one's talent. It wasn't an immediate gain of many benefits but rather a continuous accumulation over the years.

As the essence was enhanced and talents improved, the rate of progress in cultivation and strength enhancement would also increase.

In these first couple of days, the changes might not be very apparent, but over time, they would become increasingly noticeable.

Moreover, the longer the time passed, the more pronounced the benefits of enhanced talents would become.

In this instance, utilizing the essence pool to aid all the Awakened in the Origin Territory in enhancing their essence might not have a significant impact on the overall strength of Team Origin for now.

However, looking ahead, the impact of the essence pool would undoubtedly be enormous, propelling the entire Team Origin to new heights. The future held limitless potential!

Following that, Liu Yan instructed Luo Qingcheng to focus on cultivation. In these final two days, the members of Team Origin could rest and strengthen their abilities without the need for other tasks.

Luo Qingcheng agreed and departed.

Liu Yan headed directly toward the territory war beasts.

All the Awakened in the Origin Territory had already upgraded their essence, but the territory war beasts in the Origin Territory had yet to enhance their essence. Liu Yan's pets could also undergo this enhancement.

After all, the effects of the essence pool could help all living creatures enhance their essence. Liu Yan hadn't forgotten this fact. This meant that the essence pool could benefit not only human Awakened but also fierce beasts, monster plants, and mystical creatures!

Liu Yan located the Magma Demon King and the Magma Giant King.

At that moment, these two mystical monsters were locked in combat within an open area.

The Magma Giant King stood at a towering height of over 30 meters, an immense figure ablaze with flames, exuding a menacing aura.

On the other hand, the Magma Demon King was significantly smaller, roughly the size of a human, measuring less than two meters in height.

Compared to the colossal Magma Giant King, the Magma Demon King appeared notably diminutive.

While the Magma Demon King's body was also shrouded in flames, they were of a yellow hue and didn't emit any discernible heat.

Regardless of appearances, the Magma Demon King seemed somewhat weaker.

However, once these two mystical monsters engaged in battle, the contrast in strength became abundantly clear.

The diminutive Magma Demon King launched a series of ranged attacks, targeting the Magma Giant King.

Though the pure fire attribute elemental power might be significantly smaller than that of the Magma Giant King, the attack's effectiveness was striking, compelling the Magma Giant King to retreat.

The Magma Giant King was ill-suited for ranged combat, limited to close-quarters engagement. As such, it had to either evade the Magma Demon King's attacks or withstand them, endeavoring to advance and engage in close combat.

As long as it could close the distance, the Magma Giant King could easily overpower the Magma Demon King.

However, why would the Magma Demon King give the Magma Giant King such an attack? It continuously launched attacks to stop the Magma Giant King from advancing.
