Chapter 1117: Divine Knight-Level Warlock
The scene of the Divine Lord giving up his prime seat for 100,000 CP was witnessed by many people. To say that they were envious was an understatement.
Why didn’t they have such luck?
Everyone’s eyes followed the Divine Lord’s movement as he approached a Peak-stage Divine Knight a few steps away from his original spot.
"I’ll take your spot for 10,000 CP. Do you accept?" the Divine Lord grinned confidently, believing the Peak-stage Divine Knight wouldn’t refuse.
However, the Peak-stage Divine Knight lazily glanced at the Divine Lord before snorting, "Hmph, I’ll only accept 100,000 CP, and a single point less."
The Divine Lord’s expression immediately froze.
"Are you kidding me? Do you think your seat is worth 100,000 CP? You should be glad that someone is even offering you 10,000 CP for it!" the Divine Lord said grimly, feeling offended that a Divine Knight didn’t give him any face.
The Peak-stage Divine Knight smiled disdainfully, replying, "Do I think my seat is worth 100,000 CP? Of course not. I think it is worth AT LEAST 100,000 CP."
"Lord Vaan stated that he would hold a few lectures in fifteen days. If each of his lectures is the same as today’s, then this seat’s value would only multiply. Once the mana storm of everyone’s breakthrough arrives, this seat’s value would be even more immeasurable."
"You tell me—Is a 100,000 CP to make substantial progress in cultivation and law comprehension expensive? I think not!" the Peak-stage Divine Knight strongly shared his opinion.
The Divine Lord’s face immediately paled in horror.
It was fine when it was said, but now that it was said, everyone would also think their seats were worth at least 100,000 CP each, even if they weren’t prime spots.
Indeed, just as the Divine Lord feared, the seated disciples in the area were convinced that they were occupying seats worth 100,000 CP. To offer any less was to discredit the value of Vaan’s lecture and disrespect him!
"Y-Y-You...!"
The Divine Lord pointed his shaking finger at the Peak-stage Divine Knight with anger, but was unable to formulate a counterargument.
He immediately regretted giving up his seat for 100,000 CP. But then again, did he even have a choice?
In fact, he did.
Seraphina was not an unreasonable person. If the person had refused her, she would have turned to the next person in line and kept asking until she secured a spot.
Alas, the Divine Lord felt unfortunate and regretful. After asking hundreds to thousands of disciples, he finally secured another spot for 100,000 CP from a mere Divine Knight.
Ultimately, he didn’t earn anything and even had his seating location downgraded.
Of course, he had attempted to pressure some better-seated Divine Warriors, but his despicable actions offended everyone, and he was taught a lesson by someone stronger. As such, he no longer dared to use such tactics.

As Vaan serviced the following ten mermaid disciples, he was able to pick up three other top ten mana cultivation techniques belonging to the Merfolks and upgrade them to their superior versions at the pinnacle divine rank.
At the same time, the mana debris he absorbed from these ten mermaids pushed his mana cultivation from the middle stage of Rank 6 back to the peak stage of Rank 6, then eventually, it broke through to Rank 7.
Originally, Vaan didn’t expect to advance to Rank 7 Divine Knight in mana cultivation so soon, considering his pinnacle divine-rank nameless mana cultivation technique demanded more mana for less progress.
However, the quality of his clients had been improving with each subsequent service.
In the first half of the batch, he only received Divine Warriors. But by the second half, there were only Divine Knights, and even one Divine Lord. Moreover, their stages were progressively more advanced than the previous ones.
Evidently, these new clients weren’t part of the original queue.
Vaan quickly realized they had bought their way into the queue, replacing the original lower-level disciples who had come first.
Given that he had already announced a working period of only fifteen days, the limited hundred-odd slots became especially precious. Even if the disciples didn’t care about the cultivation benefits, some would still desire the opportunity just to brag about it to others.
Such a trend of purchasing queue slots was bound to happen, given the popularity of his limited service.
Of course, Vaan also welcomed such a trend as it ensured the quality of techniques and the quantity of mana debris he could acquire from his clients.
Nevertheless, he had been too optimistic about acquiring more Heaven-rank mana cultivation techniques. Moreover, it wasn’t just a matter of receiving more clients on par with Seraphina, not to mention that such a thing was already a rare opportunity.
Even if he did receive more clients with Core Palace-level statuses like Seraphina, how many of them could be practicing a different heaven-rank mana cultivation technique?
They were more likely to practice the very same [Eternal Oceanheart Codex]!
After all, the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex] was created by the Mermen Domain’s only Empyrean God, Oshenra Delmare.
Unless other seafolk came forward for his service, Vaan figured he was unlikely to encounter any other existing heaven-rank mana cultivation techniques. Still, he wasn’t disheartened by this realization.
’No matter. If the other nine top mana cultivation techniques of the merfolks don’t have any heaven-rank version, I will just deduce and create them myself,’ Vaan thought.
In any case, each of the nine techniques already has its core focus and concept. He just needed to build on top of the established concepts.
Others might not be able to achieve it, but Vaan was confident that he could.
After all, he had two major reliances: his Omni-Sense and fragmented memories of his past lives.
The former allowed him to cross-check whether his simulated heaven-rank mana cultivation techniques aligned with the heavenly laws and weren’t flawed or not, and the latter granted him a vast, solid foundation of knowledge to work with.
Of course, most of it belonged to his incredibly long first life.
’I wonder how many credits I can earn for creating heaven-rank mana cultivation techniques?’ Vaan silently mused.
