The miracle of successfully carving a world-class Spirit Gathering Array was akin to the miracle of an ordinary person saving the world.
Even if it was because one was lucky, one would still need the ability to do so.
Without sufficient ability, what was the point of being lucky!
“You brat, you’ve really broadened my horizons today,” The Great Sage said.
“I’ve waited for so long. I didn’t wait in vain for the inheritance to be handed over to you. Your achievements in the future are limitless. It’s inevitable for you to become a God-tier expert. It’s also fated for you to break the God-tier barrier,” The Great Sage continued.
Lin Ming had given him a huge surprise today.
“Thank you for your praise, senior,” Lin Ming remained humble with his head lowered.
“Let’s begin. Prepare to fuse the reinforced steel bone,” The Great Sage waved his hand and said.
“Fusing the spiritual bone will be much more difficult, you should be mentally prepared,” The Great Sage reminded Lin Ming and gave him a warning.
“Yes, I understand,” Lin Ming nodded. To him, pain was something that had always been with him along the way.
If he didn’t temper himself, he wouldn’t be able to grow.
To temper himself, pain was simply something that came with the process.
Besides, if he succeeded in fusing the reinforced steel bone, his body would probably surpass the peak of the Sage realm and be able to reach the half-step God-tier!
Added by the fact that the reinforced steel bone had already become a spiritual bone thanks to the world-class Spirit Gathering Array carved on it.
“We’re starting!” The Great Sage said.
As he said this, a powerful pulling force appeared once more.
This time, the pulling force was even stronger.
However, Lin Ming’s body didn’t budge at all.
The pain was getting more and more intense!
This was because Lin Ming’s bones were being separated from his body while his body remained unmoving!
“Ah!”
Lin Ming’s teeth fell off!
Without the support of his bones, Lin Ming’s body was like a pile of mud.
“Buzz!”
At this moment, the mutated seeds of flame that had merged with Lin Ming’s body started to burn crazily!
“Tsk tsk, I’m starting to envy your foundation,” The Great Sage looked at the mutated seeds of flame that had automatically burst into flames in Lin Ming’s body and clicked his tongue.
However, his path was different from Lin Ming’s path.
Although he was envious, it was merely a simple feeling.
Due to all his bones having been extracted, Lin Ming couldn’t even make a sound to show his pain.
“Go!”
The Great Sage moved quickly. After all, the faster the fusion was, the more benefits it would bring to Lin Ming. It would also reduce the time Lin Ming had to suffer.
“Crack! Crack! Crack”
The reinforced steel bone started to slowly merge into Lin Ming’s body.
The size of the reinforced steel bone was exactly the same as Lin Ming’s figure.
Its compatibility with Lin Ming was extremely high as well as if it was naturally Lin Ming’s bone.
“Fuse!” The Great Sage said and the power in his hands rapidly covered Lin Ming’s body.
Time passed bit by bit.
Finally, the reinforced steel bone fused into one with Lin Ming’s body!
Lin Ming did not feel any discomfort!
It was as if the bone was originally his!
As the reinforced steel bone was successfully fused, the surrounding magic elements and various powers crazily swarmed around Lin Ming’s body!
This was the power of the spiritual bone itself.
No discomfort was felt, and Lin Ming’s power and physical strength did not grow just by a few times.
At this moment, the strength of Lin Ming’s physical body was on par with the half-step God-tier!
“We’re fated to meet. It’s simply an act of fate. To think that your body has such high compatibility with the reinforced steel bone. The reinforced steel bone isn’t just a bone. It has many other uses as well. Right now, you can become bigger and smaller at any time. Furthermore, the strength of your body won’t change because of your size,” The Great Sage said.
“Yes.”
Lin Ming had just fused with the reinforced steel bone. Due to the high compatibility, Lin Ming could clearly feel the various abilities and powers of the reinforced steel bone.
“Hahaha, the reinforced steel bone has now found its right Master. I don’t feel any heartache giving you this,” The Great Sage laughed and said.
“Great Sage, I have a question. May I ask it?” Lin Ming looked at the Great Sage and said solemnly.
“What question? Feel free to ask anything,” The Great Sage waved his hand. There weren’t so many rules in his place.
“Now, you and the other three seniors have given your inheritances to me. By then, when I reach the God-tier…” Lin Ming deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, “And I resurrect all of you with the power I gained, but you’ve all given me the best things you own…” Lin Ming paused again, hesitant to continue.
However, where Lin Ming was going was quite clear.
“I know what you mean. You’re trying to say that since we’ve given you the best things we have, after we’ve been resurrected…” The Great Sage imitated Lin Ming’s actions and paused for a moment to smile before continuing, “Just like how this reinforced steel bone has been fused into your body, you won’t be able to return our things to us even if you wanted to, right?”
“Yes, this is the problem I’ve been thinking about,” Lin Ming nodded.
If the God-tier seniors were to ask Lin Ming to return these divine artifacts to them, Lin Ming wouldn’t mind.
After all, Lin Ming believed in himself. When he reached the God-tier, even if he didn’t have any divine artifacts, he would still be the strongest!
However, some of them like the God-tier blood, the mutated seeds of flame, and so on have been fused into his body. To say something like returning them to their original owners was simply unrealistic.
After all, they were now already a part of Lin Ming’s body.
“When you reach the God-tier, you’ll understand that what’s important isn’t these things. Your physical body won’t be important anymore,” After the Great Sage understood what Lin Ming was worried about, he began to explain.
“The physical body won’t be important anymore?” When Lin Ming heard this, he frowned.
What if the physical body advanced to the God-tier as well?
“What’s important is the soul. Just like us old fellows. Although we are only a remnant of our souls, we have existed for more than 100,000 years. The power we have now can easily kill a Sage,” The Great Sage said.
Although they were only a remnant of their souls, their strength was still extremely powerful.
“In the end, the physical body is only a restriction,” The Great Sage said.
“When you reach the God-tier, with your foundation, your soul will become even stronger. At that time, these things won’t be of much use to you. We are only passing these things to you to build your foundation and help you break the God-tier barrier,” The Great Sage explained, helping Lin Ming understand the details.
