The Spirit-Devouring Ring flew through the air for a while before automatically flying to Lin An's front. It simply put the ring on Lin An's finger as soon as he reached out his hand.
Buzz...
As soon as Lin An Spirit-Devouring Ring, he felt a surge of excitement and gratitude.
"It seems that spirituality has been born."
Lin An nodded in satisfaction, then began to examine the effects of the Spirit-Devouring Ring after it was upgraded to Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure.
The interior space hasn't changed much; it still only has 100,000 altars, enough to hold 100,000 corpses of Sin Beast.
However, ten of the altars gleamed with golden light; these ten altars could hold the corpses of beings at the King Realm.
In addition, the 100,000 altars not only contain the power of devouring, but are also entangled with the power of erosion.
"With the aid of the corrosive power, the Spirit-Devouring Ring was able to refine the corpses of these Sin Beast even faster."
Lin An thought to himself, "The corpses of the Mythic Realm Sin Beast could probably be completely refined in a few hours, while those of the King Realm would only take two or three days."
In addition, he discovered that he could manipulate the corrosive power within the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Once an enemy is struck, the corrosive power will surge into their body. Given the nature of this corrosive power, even King Realm expert might not be able to withstand it.
"This adds another way to deal with experts at the King Realm."
Lin An nodded in satisfaction. Moreover, he was only at the Mythic Realm at the moment. Only after breaking through to the King Realm would he be able to truly unleash the effects of the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Then Lin An looked at the blood cocoon that enveloped his uncle, Li Zhao.
Two days later, strange patterns had appeared on the blood cocoon, and it was also emitting a strange aura.
"Grandpa, how long will it take for my eldest uncle to undergo Nirvana?" Lin An asked.
"It will take at least half a month," Li Yunshan said thoughtfully.
Lin An nodded. Half a month wasn't a long time, but he couldn't wait that long. He would leave Heavenly Vault Pass in the next couple of days and return to Shenglin City.
Just as he was about to discuss this matter, Li Yunshan suddenly paused, and then a ray of light flew in from outside the main hall.
Seeing this spiritual light, Lin An knew it was a message from the Heavenly Vault Army.
They were quite surprised. The Heavenly Vault Army would never disturb them unless absolutely necessary, so something major must have happened.
Li Yunshan grasped the spiritual light, and after reading the information within, he couldn't help but frown.
"Father, what happened?" Li Xiyun asked.
"The royal family has arrived."
"Royal family?"
"Yes, after you break through to the King Realm, according to the rules, I should report to the royal family, and they will bestow a title upon you."
Li Yunshan, "But because we are not on good terms with the royal family, I did not report it to them. Now Heavenly Revelation Emperor must already know, so he sent someone."
"What do we do now? Is the royal family coming to hold us accountable?" Li Xiyun asked, frowning.
Despite their dissatisfaction with the royal family, the royal family's power is indeed formidable. Unless the ten princes join forces, they are simply no match for the royal family.
"Don't worry, the royal family won't break ties with us. If something happens to us, the other nine princes won't miss this opportunity to form an alliance."
"Once it gets to that point, the entire Heavenly Revelation Empire will be thrown into chaos, and the other two empires will definitely not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Li Yunshan spoke calmly, showing little worry. "The royal family has sent word that they will arrive at Heavenly Vault Pass in five days. We can then act according to the circumstances."
Li Xiyun nodded; this was the only option now.
"Mother, Grandfather, I plan to return to Shenglin City in a couple of days," Lin An said.
"Go back to Shenglin City?"
Li Xiyun's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the image of Lin Xiao appeared before her eyes.
She didn't have the chance to go back before, but now it's different. She has reached the King Realm, her elder brother's problem has been solved, and she can go back to see her husband.
Having been separated from Lin Xiao for so many years, she naturally missed him.
"It would be good for you to go back."
Li Yunshan pondered for a few seconds and nodded, saying, "The royal family is coming, and there will inevitably be conflict."
Although Lin An is quite strong, he has not yet broken through to the King Realm.
Once the royal family learns of Lin An's extraordinary talent, they will undoubtedly target Lin An and spare no effort to kill him before he breaks through to the King Realm.
At this point, staying away from Heavenly Vault Pass is actually the safest option.
With Lin An's strength, he would have no rivals outside the world unless he encountered a King Realm expert.
But encountering King Realm is not so easy.
" Yun'er, you shouldn't go back. The royal family came here specifically for you. If you're not here, it will give them a reason to cause trouble," Li Yunshan.
Li Xiyun felt helpless, but she knew the other person was right. Moreover, her elder brother had not yet successfully achieved Nirvana and needed someone to protect him.
"Mom, there will be other opportunities in the future. Anyway, Dad isn't going to run away."
Lin An said with a smile.
"He dares!"
Li Xiyun snorted, thinking, "I am King Realm expert, how could I let the other party get away?"
"When are you leaving?" Li Xiyun asked.
"Tomorrow."
Lin An thought for a moment and said, "We should go back as soon as possible."
He had been hesitant about whether to break through to the King Realm directly at Heavenly Vault Pass before setting off.
But now that the royal family is arriving, it's not appropriate for him to break through here.
Fortunately Shenglin City is located in a remote area with few powerful figures around. Even if his breakthrough triggers a celestial phenomenon, he will not be in danger.
Although reluctant to part with her son, Li Xiyun knew that Heavenly Vault Pass was now a place of great trouble, so she no longer tried to dissuade him.
The three chatted for a few more minutes before Lin An left the main hall and returned to his residence.
First, I glanced at the attribute points.
[Attribute Points]: 270 million
More than half a month has passed, and the seven puppet squads have been staying in the Diamond Tier Spirit Realm, constantly grinding attribute points for him.
Basically, you can gain around 14 million attribute points a day. With five days left until the Puppet Squad is released, you can gain around 70 million more attribute points, which will allow you to break through 300 million attribute points.
"Three hundred million attribute points are enough to upgrade all secondary professions to King Rank, but unfortunately there are only six King Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Card left."
"Large-scale sieges are unlikely to occur at Heavenly Vault Pass for the time being. I'll see if I can encounter any siege events while I'm returning to Shenglin City."
Lin An for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't yet claimed the rewards from the previous leaderboard settlement.
"Claim your leaderboard rewards," Lin An said.
[Leaderboard results are being tallied...]
[Congratulations to the player who ranked first on all fourteen leaderboards! Please select your reward type.]
[Settlement successful, player has gained 12.5 million attribute points.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin An's attribute points reached over 280 million, getting closer and closer to 300 million.
"Next, we need to arrange things after we leave."
Lin An had an idea and immediately called Zheng Tang over.
"Young master, what are your orders?" Zheng Tang asked upon arrival.
"I will be leaving Heavenly Vault Pass tomorrow. My grandfather already knows this. I called you here to make some arrangements for those puppets."
Lin An said, "After I leave, continue to accelerate the opening of the Spirit Realm. Once the Diamond Tier Spirit Realm can no longer be accelerated, use the Epic Tier Spirit Realm."
Farming attribute points is something I can't stop doing. I'm about to break through to the King Realm, and I'll only need more attribute points in the future.
"Yes." Zheng Tang nodded, without asking any further questions.
Afterwards, Lin An gave the other person some more instructions and then let them leave.
"This is estimated to take a month, but it's impossible to be certain."
Although he was absolutely certain of breaking through to the King Realm, no one knew what unexpected events might occur along the way.
Then Lin An went to the treasure vault and selected some resources.
That evening, his mother, Li Xiyun, also found him.
He was given a storage ring, which contained a considerable amount of resources, as well as some items for his father, Lin Xiao.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll give these things to Father so he knows you're thinking of him every day," Lin An said with a smile.
"You brat, you deserve a beating." Li Xiyun felt a little embarrassed.
The next morning, Lin An said goodbye to his maternal grandfather and mother, and after taking one last look at his eldest uncle who was still inside the blood cocoon, he arrived at the teleportation plaza.
With a flash of white light, Lin An also left Heavenly Vault Pass.
After Lin An left, Li Yunshan convened a meeting of the Heavenly Vault Army's high-ranking officers to prepare for the impending arrival of the royal family.
