It worked!
He had obtained a complete first-stage Crown!
"Did it work?" the Middle-Aged Man asked.
"Thanks to you, it did," Xu Yuan said with a smile.
At that moment.
Xu Yuan suddenly realized something.
When Cultivators of the Three Realms gained a new power or ability, their first thought was how it would change their achievements, power, and status. Then they thought about how much more effective it would be against their enemies.
Usually, they would rush off to "avenge old grudges," "slaughter all in their path," and "build an empire."
But Xu Yuan could think of only one thing.
And he would keep weighing whether it was possible—
How could he use this Void of Authority to smash straight through the entire Competition?
Xu Yuan thought long and hard.
The Middle-Aged Man glanced at him without speaking. Only after drinking two more bottles of wine did he finally ask:
"What do you plan to do now?"
"I do have an idea..." Xu Yuan said.
"What?" The Middle-Aged Man did not understand.
"Ming He can't break through the segment of time right now. She's trapped inside it."
"That's right."
"I'm going to find her a few enemies."
"...She's Invincibility. It won't matter who you find," the Middle-Aged Man said with a sigh.
"No," Xu Yuan said.
"What do you mean, no?" the Middle-Aged Man asked.
"You said the Second Ritual was so difficult that no one had passed it in seven thousand years," Xu Yuan said.
"That's right. The Second Dark Crown Ritual stopped everyone. No one has ever passed it," the Middle-Aged Man said with a nod.
"You also said that the Blood Saint with a supreme-grade Thunder Spirit root fought for a thousand years after inheriting the Crown of Night, yet still couldn't pass the Second Ritual,"
