Chapter 848: Chapter 458: Self-Directed Mini-World_4

Abner Lane slowly nodded: "Alright."

Master Lane had prepared three merits early on, and this time, watching the ceremony had the most significant benefit for the future. However, Master Lane could recall that Abner Lane was very cautious himself and had a thorough look at his first mini-world from within the order space, leaving him no secrets in it. So, they decided to simply grant merits to Master Lane in front of Abner Lane to show him their secrets and level the playing field - otherwise, Master Lane would undoubtedly find ways to make things difficult for him later.

However, the gains this time were truly enormous, and Master Lane felt that after reaching the Seventh Realm, he would have at least a 90% chance of successfully creating his first mini-world!

Abner Lane lifted his hand: "I will protect you, begin."

Owen Bertram sat down and began to activate the cultivation sealed in his body by Master Lane. Spiritual energy surged forth, and Owen’s domain expanded accordingly.

Abner Lane secretly nodded, very approving of this subordinate’s strength. At the second medal, he already had a domain of more than eighty miles.

Owen Bertram raised his head within the domain, seeing the authorities in the starlight of the Vault of Heaven. Which of the three merits should he choose?

Strength, speed, agility?

Flame, thunderbolt, water?

These were all powers that directly enhanced strength, but they were all "secondary" powers. These forces were the foundation of the real world, and nearly all cultivators who chose these types of powers at the Sixth Realm could not truly master the highest level of corresponding powers.

For example, strength can only greatly enhance one’s power, but it could not completely seal the opponent’s power within one’s domain.

What Master Lane wanted was a power that would give him absolute authority in his domain. For instance, "Seal" had exclusivity; within Owen Bertram’s domain, he would not be subject to similar abilities or magical instruments.

Therefore, Owen Bertram ultimately chose a very unique power: Radiance!

He could control the radiance within his domain completely, controlling its presence, intensity, and uniqueness; without his permission, nothing and no one could emit radiance within Owen Bertram’s domain.

You could light a torch, and the flames would still burn brightly. Master Lane had no control over that, but whether the flames emit radiance would depend on Master Lane’s mood.

Although this power seems "minimally influential" - after all, many cultivators and demon beasts possess the ability to see in the dark and may not require the vision provided by radiance - it was much more potent than powers like strength and speed if properly utilized.

Master Lane progressed much faster than Abner Lane, with enough cultivation base and insight, he completed within four hours! Smoothly, even Master Lane envied him, as he remembered his cautiousness each time he added merits when he was at the Sixth Realm, fearing that if he made a wrong move, his cultivation journey would end there.

As for the power of "Radiance" chosen by Owen Bertram, Abner Lane also understood its intricacies after a bit of pondering and couldn’t help but smile and nod.

Just as Master Lane had thought, in some cases, Abner Lane could be quite "narrow-minded." Now that his subordinate had willingly shown his secrets, Master Lane was pleased, "I knew I wasn’t wrong about you; you have great potential."

Master Lane smiled slightly, fearing that the next merit grant wouldn’t be so easy. The excess consumption of Harrison Ainsworth’s cultivation base, initially believed to support him until the fourth merit, was no longer enough for the next time due to the increased cost of acquiring unique powers.

The two continued to travel together, emerging from the vast mountains in the southwest direction. However, this time their speed was much faster, and within a few shichen (2 hours), they had already arrived at a large city.

Master Lane looked up at the two characters "Ingram" on the city gate and laughed, "Snake-bitten chicken is a unique dish in Ingram County, especially when paired with the locally brewed Tea Wine - I invite you to try it."

Owen Bertram didn’t hesitate to enter the city as an ordinary person and find a small store run by a husband and wife. He ordered a pot of "Snake-bitten Chicken," accompanied by some vegetable soup, and a jar of Tea Wine.

This kind of food shop had a distinctive local flavor, unlike the neat arrangement of tables and chairs in the large restaurants. The store was small, with a kitchen inside, and small square low tables with stools scattered outside. A banner and a sign hung at the entrance, and a reed mat shed was propped up. When customers arrived, the landlady would competently lay out low tables and stools according to the number of people and invite them to sit down first.

After the two ordered their dishes, the landlady brought up the Tea Wine first, along with a small plate of dried peanuts and a small plate of radish strips. The wine was slightly turbid and not very good, but it had a strong, genuine taste.

Abner Lane peeled a peanut and tossed it into his mouth, looking out at the street as he chewed, gesturing with his eyes for Owen Bertram to see, "Look."

On the street, several Servants of Brown were collecting money from one house after another.
