Shocking Discovery

Deep within Dante's Spiritual Pendant, a now slightly unneeded PurpleThorn Vine absorbed the Aura of Earth and made rapid improvements. Advancing quickly until it stopped at the realm of the Ancients.

In another area, a Heavenly Beast Tiger also quickly grew to the size of hundreds of meters. As its cultivation base experienced a rapid growth to the Spirit State.

These were just a few examples, many mortal puppets received a particle of aura and were rapidly promoted to the body refining realm.

While even more had their physiques improved by a level.

Somewhere deep within a forest, Alice felt a power flow through her body forcibly promoting her cultivation to the Fairy State!

This improvement was countless times larger than when Dante absorbed Alice's power.

However the biggest improvement wasn't any of this. It was the increase in luck of all the puppets.

Even the mortals with low or even non-existent luck would now have a chance of walking through a forest and finding a rare herb.

Of course they weren't at the point where they could find an antiques inheritance when they fell off a cliff. But as Dante absorbed more and more auras it might really reach that point.

Dante also wondered about something. Since other people were born with the aura of heavens and the aura of the earth, his puppets could also be born with it right?

But that's not something to focus on right now.

Right now was the final step of the test. The defence mechanism left by the Antique had long since been cancelled out.

And Dantes' army below, having received the baptism of the Aura of the Earth, easily crushed the remainder of Mitchels forces.

It was also at this point that Dante learnt about the Ghost Temple.

''It really deserves to be someone blessed by the Aura of Earth. Getting such an item in a simple inheritance test.''

Dante couldn't help but shake his head at Mitchels incredible luck.

But he was also extremely happy at receiving such an item. It made up for the massive downside of the puppets made from corpses.

Previously they were unable to cultivate or have their own thoughts. Now Dante could make the ghosts themselves into puppets and implant them into the corpse puppets bodies.

And even if he doesn't do that, Dante could mass produce Ghosts using heavenly resources and have a much higher cultivation population.

After all, it is incredibly easy for Dante to mass produce them. The resources gained from this plane alone would allow Dante to produce billions every month!

Even if the feedback of the energy is less than 1% of a living cultivator of the same level, it can't stand up against the huge quantity.

But it was also this item that made Dante realise things aren't as simple as they seemed.

Clearly the Antique had plenty of ways to fill up the planes and keep the world seed safe. However the Antique still died?

There was clearly something more in depth here. But Dante isn't yet qualified to reach these secrets.

'' Congratulations to the last survivor and the champion of this test!''

At this very moment Dante felt an irresistible force pulling him away. Dragging him towards somewhere deep within the plane.

When Dantes eyes opened he realised he was surrounded by sparkling crystals, diamonds, gold, plants and flowers.

Anything one could imagine was here. Dante could easily see that there were corpses of saints lying around.

But the most attention worthy thing was a small brown seed floating on the centre of the treasury.

It stood on a mighty bronze pedestal in the form of a tree.

''As you can see, everything here belongs to you. But there is something you must know.''

Dante was surprised to see a ghost of a crippled old man floating around the treasury heading towards him. He tried to speak but found a force had sealed his mouth shut.

''As you might have learnt, the reason for my death wasn't solely because of the world seed.''

'' Being an Antique isn't the end of the road of Cultivation. There is one more step just above it. That is, being a True God.''

''Once you have cultivated the Antique realm, you must next develop a Plane of your own. Within this plane the Antiques themselves cannot directly fight anyone. They can only offer guidance to their followers.''

''You might be wondering what the use of these planes are? Actually it's very simple. Spread throughout this universe are trillions of abandoned planes. Or Planes of dead Antiques that are just left floating.''

''Antiques use their planes to conquer and claim abandoned planes around the endless universe.''

''Their strength is largely based on the size and value of their Planes. The more rare resources and the more planes incorporated into their plane the stronger they are.''

''In order to increase their strength, many Antiques who are unable to conquer abandoned planes will grow medicinal gardens or artificially incorporate powerful resources.''

''But this is where the benefits of the world seed come in. With it you can create multiple planes under your complete control and with it the power you get are equally enhanced.''

''As for the requirement of 100million body refiners on each plane? That's complete crap. The real reason it is said, is because not only do you antiques fight to occupy abandoned planes. They also fight to occupy opposing Antiques Planes.''

''After all, it is much easier to occupy a fully populated plane then to build new things on an abandoned one.''

'' And antiques are willing to dedicate anything to win these planes. Because once you reach a True God, it means you're completely immortal and all powerful.''

''Even if your body is burnt to ash it will slowly reform over time. And the biggest advantage is the ability to travel through to the other continents in the universe.''

''You might think that the Northern and Southern continents are it, however there are millions of continents floating around the universe. Fortunately these continents are in fact some of the top continents in the entire universe.''

''Some small continents are barely able to produce a single antique. And therefore become the targets of powerful antiques to be incorporated into their own planes.''

''Because continents provide a large power boost than hundreds of normal abandoned planes!''

Dante sat there with his head seemingly exploding. This is the first time he had heard all of this.
