"That's right, Zheng Tang said that an Epic Tier Spirit Realm is about to open in the Second Line of Defense, so I came." Lin An nodded.
"Indeed, an Epic Tier Spirit Realm is about to open; it should be in about ten days."
"If my cousin wants to go in, he can go in then, but the extraordinary treasure inside hasn't been formed yet."
Li Qing smiled and said, "If my cousin wants to obtain a rare treasure, there's no need to make this trip. He can just go directly to the treasure vault and choose one."
"The rare treasure is secondary; I simply want to take this opportunity to hone my own cultivation."
Lin An said, "Cousin, if you agree to let me enter the Spirit Realm, I have a request."
"Just tell me what you're asking for," Li Qing said, waving his hand.
"It's nothing major. I don't want any of the rare treasures in the Spirit Realm. However, I hope that the powerful individuals who enter the Spirit Realm this time can help me attract a large number of Sin Beast."
Lin An smiled and said, "To be honest, cousin, I'm a formation master, and I wanted to take this opportunity to test the effects of my formation."
"These are minor matters. The most valuable thing about the Spirit Realm to us is the rare and precious materials it contains. As for training, we don't need to enter the Spirit Realm at all."
"After all, the Sin Beast of Sin Beast in the Spirit Realm are far too weak compared to those in the Sin Abyss, and can serve no purpose whatsoever as training."
Li Qing smiled and said, "It just so happens that your cousin Li Wei and I are also going into the Spirit Realm this time. Just tell us what you want to do then."
Originally, he and Li Wei had not planned to enter the Spirit Realm. The reason they changed their minds now was that they wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about their cousin whom they had not seen for many years.
Several days ago, his grandfather and father sent word that he and Li Wei should take good care of Lin An.
Furthermore, his words lavished praise on Lin An, which aroused his curiosity.
That's why Li Wei deliberately tested Lin An as soon as they met today.
It must be said that this cousin is indeed very strong, and his talent is extraordinary.
I heard he came from the lower city, was about ten years younger than them, and his cultivation level was already comparable to theirs.
Lin An nodded. As long as it didn't interfere with his hunting of the Sin Beast in the Spirit Realm and grinding for attribute points, it was fine.
"By the way, cousin, you guys mentioned earlier that there are quite a few Epic Realm outside this Second Line of Defense, and occasionally even Legendary Realm Sin Beast, right?" Lin An asked.
"Yes, that's true. Outside the Second Line of Defense, there are currently three Legendary Realm Sin Beast: one Legendary First Grade and two Legendary Second Grade."
"These three Sin Beast occupy three mountain ranges, gathering a large number of Sin Beast within them."
Li Qing said, "Of course, this was intentional on our part. After all, compared to those Sin Beast roaming around, concentrating them in one place means we can easily eliminate them should anything happen."
Those three mountain ranges also served as training grounds for the three legions of their Second Line of Defense. The Legendary Realm Sin Beast within them understood this and were quite cooperative.
These three Legendary Realm Sin Beast were well aware that they would surely die if they did not cooperate; otherwise, how could they have crossed the First Line of Defense?
Their purpose is to gather other Sin Beast and train the three legions.
"Does my cousin want to go inside and practice his skills?" Li Qing asked.
"That's right." Lin An nodded with a smile.
Zheng Tang had captured a thousand Epic Tier Sin Beast for him before, but he hadn't had enough of killing them.
Although there are many Sin Beast in the Spirit Realm, he cannot waste time cutting them down one by one.
With ten days left until the Epic Tier Spirit Realm opens, and since I've got nothing else to do, I might as well go hunt some Sin Beast and test how powerful the two Divine Ability I've obtained really are.
"No problem, it depends on when you plan to go. Li Wei and I will go with you then," Li Qing nodded.
I want to go tomorrow.
"So urgent?"
"It's been too long since I've cooked, I'm getting a little itchy."
Li Qing glanced at Lin An in surprise, not expecting his cousin to be such a battle maniac.
Li Wei, however, had a bright look in his eyes, because he also loved fighting.
"Cousin, let's go together tomorrow and see who kills the most," Li Wei immediately suggested.
Lin An nodded with a smile.
The three continued eating and drinking, and their relationship grew increasingly close.
During the conversation, Lin An's mother, Li Xiyun, was also mentioned.
"My aunt is exceptionally talented, and she's also Awakened One. It's said that she's currently in seclusion to try and break through to the King Realm," Li Qing remarked.
What talent did my mother awaken?
Lin An asked, filled with curiosity about this mother he had never met.
"That's not exactly a secret. My aunt's awakened talent is called ' Unity of Heaven and Man,' which not only grants her exceptional comprehension but also allows her to cultivate at an extremely fast pace."
"To break through to the King Realm, one needs to unify one's essence, energy, and spirit, thereby connecting with heaven and earth and comprehending the laws."
"My aunt's innate talent allows her to connect with the heavens and earth, which greatly aids her comprehension of the laws, making it much easier for her to break through to the King Realm."
Li Qing looked at Lin An as he spoke, "It's almost certain that your mother will break through to the King Realm; it's just a matter of time."
Lin An suddenly realized that his mother's talent was indeed very strong.
"Unfortunately, we are not Awakened One, and I've heard that since ten years ago, children born after that have been unable to become Awakened One," Li Qing continued.
"Oh? Why is that?" Lin An asked curiously.
"I don't know, but it's been like this for the past ten years. Grandpa guessed that something might have changed in the Sin Abyss, Sin Beast riots back then might also be related to this." Li Qing shook his head.
Lin An didn't press further. If even his maternal grandfather, a powerful expert at the King Realm, didn't know, Li Qing certainly couldn't possibly know either.
The three chatted and laughed, and also inquired about Lin An's experiences over the years.
Lin An didn't hide anything and gave a general explanation.
That evening, three Mythic Rank powerhouses arrived. These three were the legion commanders of the three legions stationed on the Second Line of Defense.
The three of them came mainly to get to know Lin An.
"If you need anything in the future, young master, just let us know." The three of them expressed their agreement, showing great respect for Lin An.
Not to mention that Lin An was the grandson of the Heavenly Vault King, the fact that his mother was about to become King Realm expert made them dare not be negligent in the slightest.
Lin An responded with a smile, indicating that they had become acquainted.
The next morning, Lin An woke up in his room at the mansion.
"It's been a while since I've slept."
Lin An got up. After reaching the Gold Realm, he could go without food or water for several months without any problem, which could be considered as fasting.
After washing up, Lin An had breakfast with Li Qing and Li Wei. Then the three of them left Heavenly Vault Pass, preparing to practice their skills in the Sin Beast Mountain Range.
