The next day, before dawn, Shen Xuan opened his eyes and stepped out of the lord's loft.
Thanks to Su Qingxue's all-night renovations, the territory environment had greatly improved!
Looking out, Within the central 500x500 area, The formerly useless outer fence was now covered by a shimmering, ultra-hard dark cloud steel wall!
Compared to the now 2.5 square kilometers territory area, Su Qingxue had limited resources, so only the core was enclosed.
Outside were untouched giant forest trees awaiting further development.
Inside the walls, the previous militia huts had been torn down.
Remaining were a mysterious space warehouse covered in strange runes glowing faintly, and a three-meter-diameter, nearly ten-meter-tall transparent pillar!
The pillar contained swirling five-colored energy, continuously emitting a white mist that formed a mirage barrier covering the entire territory.
From outside, it only appeared as an ordinary forest with an average rank 1 territory.
Without strong spiritual perception, one could not glimpse the territory's true state!
Outside the walls, Militia and special troops were stationed.
Several stone huts grouped in threes were neatly arrayed at the foot of the walls.
Zhang San and the nine original militia members who followed Su Qingxue, had all been promoted to Blazing Flame Close Guard, exuding scorching waves of heat.
Not only had their stats dramatically risen, but their upgrade speed had leapt qualitatively.
The ten were training newly recruited militia using the SSS-Tier training ground.
After a few days, with some loyalty improvement, others would gain eligibility to upgrade their troops just like Zhang San and the rest.
"Skill proficiency..."
Shen Xuan landed and pondered deeply.
Other creatures needed a familiarization period to learn skills; only after reaching 100% proficiency could skills exert their full power.
The SSS-Tier training ground greatly accelerated proficiency mastery.
"Now, we have troops and land."
"Su Qingxue is a mature lord now, should be able to be self-reliant."
Sitting elegantly in a beast-hide chair, Shen Xuan began to consider another serious matter.
Searching for special light items was troublesome!
He preferred relaxing at home in the sun, Letting the lord do the work—that was his original intention!
However, Su Qingxue's level was too low.
Compared to Shen Xuan's own speed, it was like a tractor on a farm road versus a space rocket.
Picking up an encyclopedia, he searched for quick ways to level up.
He had little hope at first, but actually found a post matching his needs:
"Against all odds, notes on raising level through Rift Void!"
It described another use of monster Energy Cores!
Normally, Lords, heroes, or soldiers level up by absorbing Energy Core energy, slowly and steadily improving Constitution.
Though slow, it was stable!
Proven safe for thousands of years.
But, Dragon Star had prodigies who discovered another method!
Arranging Energy Cores in special patterns and using spiritual power to pry them apart would cause a chemical reaction between cores.
Depending on the Energy Core's level, A Rift Void would open, spawning alien creatures!
Unlike Secret Realm or wild creatures, killing these alien creatures granted no material rewards, but allowed lords or heroes to plunder energy directly from their bodies to increase themselves!
Theoretically, Killing Rift Void aliens was far more efficient for leveling than absorbing Energy Core energy.
However, Advantages came with disadvantages:
1.Most importantly, if killed by a Rift Void alien, one could not revive via the territory heart—permanent death!
2.Level mismatch! Killing a monster much higher level gave less benefit than absorbing an Energy Core of the same level.
3.Rift Void aliens were unpredictable; even with high-level heroes or lords guarding, many lords had died to these aliens historically!
In summary, Rift farming was costly and unsafe.
Except for a few lords needing rapid level jumps due to lifespan limits, no one dared try this risky method.
"Alien creatures!"
Shen Xuan perked up, studying the Rift patterns for each Energy Core level carefully.
Dangerous for others, but not for him!
With Seraph Redemption mastered, he wasn't afraid of Su Qingxue dying.
He only feared her level lagging behind, unable to work hard for him.
"Theoretically, Rift farming can be ten times faster than normal leveling! Wow, that's too fast."
Shen Xuan clicked his tongue in admiration.
Su Qingxue was only level 10!
If she started Rift farming now, by the end of the month's tournament, she'd reach around level 40!
Then... Even without Shen Xuan's help, Su Qingxue could handle the rookie tournament and Dragon Star Grand Tournament herself.
"Energy Core ~"
After reviewing the Rift patterns, Shen Xuan glanced at the sky; dawn was still a while away.
He went to the space warehouse, using spiritual power to take out a large pile of level 2 and 3 Energy Cores, wrapped in beast hide.
When the Little Lord woke, she could try opening the Rift!
[Honorable future Angel God King, you have bathed in your first pure light energy. After Light Conversion, you have gained 15% experience!]
[Your Level has increased! You are one step closer to ruling Source World!]
"Hopeful for level 30 today."
Sunlight appeared as Shen Xuan lay back in his chair with a contented smile.
