Eight hundred and thirty kilometers, eight hundred and thirty-two kilometers, eight hundred and thirty-five kilometers…

Lin Feng had sensed that his combat body had already reached its limit. It was almost impossible for him to break his limit again in a short period of time.

However, the appearance of the star bloom made this impossibility possible. The limit of his combat body had been broken again.

Although the speed of cell division was very fast, it was actually still rather slow relative to the entire ma.s.sive combat body. However, even though it was slow, Lin Feng was still very excited.

This was breaking the limit. Even breaking the limit by a little was breaking the limit. He was one step closer to the consummate combat body.

The effect of the star bloom was quite good. Although the cell division was slow, his combat body was also slowly improving.

Eight hundred and forty kilometers, eight hundred and forty-five kilometers, eight hundred and fifty kilometers…

When Lin Feng’s combat body increased to exactly 900 kilometers, it slowly stopped. From 830 kilometers to 900 kilometers, it increased by a total of 70 kilometers.

This might be the slowest improvement Lin Feng had ever made after mastering the Tidal Combat Body.

However, Lin Feng did not find it was slow at all. The seventy kilometers was different from before. This was a combat body that had broken through its limit through the star bloom.

Compared to before, every kilometer of improvement in the current combat body was very meaningful. After all, every kilometer of improvement meant another step closer to the consummate combat body.

Lin Feng could clearly feel that the consummation of his combat body was no longer out of reach. It was no longer illusory, but attainable. It was as if as long as he worked hard and improved his combat body a bit more, he would be able to attain consummation.

However, he had already used up the star bloom. A single star bloom was clearly unable to push Lin Feng’s combat body to consummation, unless there were more star blooms or miraculous items similar to the star bloom.

Actually, it was not impossible for Lin Feng to forcefully undergo a life transition now. He could vaguely sense that with his current mental power, if he forcefully underwent a life transition, the success rate might have already exceeded 30% and reached 40%.

This probability was already considerable. Ordinary cultivators would try their best if they could have so much as a 30% chance of success.

However, Lin Feng did not want to “gamble”. He had to be more confident, even 100% confident, in metamorphosing into a planetary lifeform. That would be the most ideal.

The consummate combat body actually meant the most perfect method of metamorphosis with 100% confidence.

“Longbetham, search for star blooms, or some cosmic miraculous items similar to star blooms!” Lin Feng gave Longbetham the order.

Soon, Longbetham said, “Master, the star bloom is a very rare cosmic wonder. It is not actually that precious. While it is very useful for cultivators below the planetary level, it is not actually very useful for planetary lifeforms. There are a few miraculous items with similar effects to the star bloom, but they are all very difficult to obtain.”

“I need star blooms, or similar cosmic miraculous items. Is there any way to obtain them?”

“Master, there are some missions in the Divine Palace that give rewards. Among the rewards are star blooms or miraculous items similar to star blooms. There are a total of 39 such missions.”

“Thirty-nine missions? So many? What missions are there?”

Lin Feng’s heart was filled with covetousness. Thirty-nine missions? That would mean at least 39 star blooms.

“Master, 37 of the missions require being at least advanced planetary lifeforms to accept them.”

Lin Feng was a little disappointed. If they were for advanced planetary lifeforms, only an ent.i.ty like Raymond could accept them. Although he was quite strong, he was not arrogant enough to accept a mission that required an advanced planetary lifeform to complete.

“There are two missions left. What are they?”

“Master, these two missions are both related to fiends. Recently, more and more traces of fiends have been discovered in the Bemond Galaxy. One of the missions is to go to the Blue River Empire. The Divine Palace suspects that the upper echelons of the Blue River Empire have been infiltrated by a fiend. They might be a planetary lifeform, or they might have undergone five or four life transitions. All of these require investigation.”

Lin Feng nodded. This mission seemed feasible.

“What about the other mission?”

“The other mission is also an investigation, but it is much more dangerous. Go to the Matrix civilization to investigate traces of fiends. The Divine Palace suspects that there are fiends hidden in the Matrix civilization, and their intentions seem unclear. In truth, this is very dangerous. It is recommended that advanced planetary lifeforms accept this mission, but it is not compulsory. All disciples of the upper district can accept it.”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He had heard of the Matrix civilization before. It was a very formidable technological civilization, and also one of the strongest civilizations in the Bemond Galaxy.

It had all kinds of technology that could even kill advanced planetary lifeforms. Such a technological civilization was highly prosperous, even in the scope of the vast universe.

Investigating the traces of the fiends in the Matrix civilization would not be that easy.

“What’s the punishment for failing the mission?”

“Master, these missions are not compulsory, and to be done in one’s own time. There is even no limit to the number of people who accept them.”

Lin Feng nodded. It seemed like these two tasks were both within the Divine Palace’s control. As long as things were within their control, the Divine Palace generally would not interfere much. They would just allow interested disciples to accept these tasks in the form of missions.

When Lin Feng had discovered the Black Dragon Cult leader last time, and Raymond had rushed directly to Planet Aqua, that was a compulsory mission. The person who accepted the mission would also do their best, and not dare to delay at all.

“All right, help me to accept both missions.”

Lin Feng authorized it to Longbetham. Hence, he accepted both missions.

After accepting the missions, Lin Feng obtained the cosmic maps of the Blue River Empire and the Matrix civilization. He could set off at any time.

“Longbetham, divide a portion of your consciousness this time and come with me.”

“Master, put on this bracelet, I have divided half of my consciousness to help Master understand the Blue River Empire and the Matrix civilization.”

Hence, Lin Feng put on the bracelet. This could be considered a “clone” of Longbetham. After all, be it the Blue River Empire or the Matrix civilization, both were technological civilizations. It might be easier for Lin Feng to do the missions with Longbetham’s help.

For these two missions, the Blue River Empire’s mission was slightly easier. The reward was a star bloom. The difficulty of the mission for Matrix civilization was obviously much higher. The reward was two star blooms and some other miraculous items.

Lin Feng weighed the options and finally decided to go to the Blue River Empire first.

At the very least, he could complete the relatively easy mission first.

Therefore, with the bracelet, Lin Feng went straight towards the spatial pa.s.sage in the upper district. Through the spatial pa.s.sage, Lin Feng could travel directly to the Blue River Empire.
