Above the sky, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Zhao stepped up the stairs one by one, arrived before the throne, and then sat down.
Suddenly, the heavens and earth shone with brilliant light, celebrating the birth of a new King Realm expert.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Vault Army who witnessed this scene were greatly encouraged, and some even broke through their cultivation levels on the spot.
After the strange phenomena disappeared, Li Zhao returned to Heavenly Vault Pass with a smile on his face.
"Brother, congratulations on breaking through to the King Realm as well." Li Xiyun said with a smile, and Li Yunshan nodded in satisfaction.
"Little sister, I must thank An'er. If it weren't for his help, I would still be lying in a sickbed, let alone having broken through to the King Realm."
Although Li Zhao was happy, he also knew that he had latched onto a powerful figure.
But he only has one nephew, so why not take him?
"Uncle, you're too kind. We're family, there's no need for such formalities," Lin An said.
Upon seeing Lin An, Li Xiyun was taken aback at first, then reacted, " An'er, when did you get back?"
She had been worried about Lin An's safety after leaving Heavenly Vault Pass, but now that she had suddenly met him, she was overjoyed.
"I just got back not long ago," Lin An said with a smile.
"Hahaha, there's so much good news today! Zhao'er has broken through to the King Realm, An'er has returned as well," Li Yunshan laughed heartily.
He hadn't been this happy in many years since Li Zhao and Li Yan were born ten years ago.
As everyone was chatting, Wei Min and Zheng Tang suddenly approached.
"Young Master, what should we do with the corpses of those Sin Beast?" Zheng Tang asked.
He was also thinking that Lin An might have other uses for the hundreds of millions of Sin Beast corpses outside the pass, so he came to ask for instructions.
"I almost forgot, let the soldiers dispose of these corpses, and store the resources in the treasury," Lin An said.
"Yes."
The two men accepted the order, and the Heavenly Vault Army was then dispatched to deal with the corpses.
Li Yunshan glanced at the corpses of the Sin Beast outside the pass, but didn't pay them any attention.
Although he didn't know what use Lin An had for killing these Sin Beast, he wouldn't ask any further questions.
The group then returned to the interior of the pass, where Lin An also saw his two cousins, Li Qing and Li Wei.
It's been a while since the two sides last met; everyone has been busy cultivating.
The two of them have now reached the Legendary Realm Fifth Grade, which is quite fast.
Today, Li Zhao broke through to the King Realm, which was naturally a joyous occasion, and the whole army celebrated together. Lin An also drank a few cups with everyone.
During the banquet, he recounted his experiences over the past few days and explained to everyone the reason for the formation of the Land of Mist.
"So, the Myriad Spirits Realm is actually an abandoned place, with its rules of heaven and earth incomplete, which is why it's impossible to break through to the Sovereign Realm."
"And the founding emperors of the three great empires were very likely powerful figures from that Sin Abyss Domain."
"To break through to the Sovereign Realm, I'm afraid the only way is to go to the Domain."
Li Yunshan looked surprised; although he was the Heavenly Vault King, he was unaware of this information.
The royal family might know something, but probably not much, otherwise there would have been plenty of information.
" An'er, have you found a way to reach the Domain?" Li Yunshan asked.
"It hasn't been found yet, but we have some leads."
Lin An said, "The founding emperors of the three great empires did not die, but disappeared. They must have gone to the Domain. It is likely that the royal family has a direct passage to the Domain."
"That's certainly possible, but if the royal family truly had such a passage, then all the Heavenly Revelation Emperor should have left after reaching the King Realm Ninth Grade, instead of dying of old age."
Li Yunshan, "Either the royal family is unaware of the existence of this passage, or there's something wrong with it."
"The royal family should know, after all, not only the Heavenly Revelation Empire, but also the founding emperors of the other two great empires have disappeared, so the probability of the passage being problematic is even greater," Lin An said.
However, these are all just their guesses; the truth will only be known after the passage is found.
"Speaking of the royal family, the pressure from the Imperial Pass is considerable right now," Li Yunshan.
"Oh? The Sin Beast are attacking Imperial Pass again?" Lin An asked in surprise.
"That's right, it was about half a month ago when the Sin Beast Mother Nest arrived at the Imperial Pass, and the two sides fought a great battle."
Li Yunshan, "For some reason, three King Realm Ninth Grade Sin Beast have appeared in that Mother Nest. They are fighting like madmen, sparing no expense. I have received news that the royal family has suffered some losses."
"Those three King Realm Ninth Grade Sin Beast emerged from the Land of Mist."
Lin An said that he had interrogated a Sin Beast before entering the Land of Mist and learned of this information.
"These three Sin Beast had been trapped in the Land of Mist for who knows how long. Now that they've finally escaped, they're naturally eager to wreak havoc."
Lin An then looked at Li Yunshan and asked, "Grandpa, has the royal family requested our assistance?"
He had originally thought that the Sin Beast Mother Nest couldn't escape, so he planned to go there after the two worlds were connected and the Sin Beast Invasion ended.
Unexpectedly, the Sin Beast Mother Nest can actually escape; it moved directly to attack Imperial Pass.
"They haven't asked us for support yet. With the royal family's resources, they could easily handle a year-long battle. It's just that we don't know what trump cards the Sin Beast have up their sleeves," Li Yunshan.
Lin An nodded. Since the royal family had not requested assistance, he naturally wouldn't rush to offer help.
He could wait until the two realms were connected before deciding whether to provide support. However, he wasn't just going to provide support; he also wanted to search for any passages the royal family might have to the other Domain.
Even into the night, the soldiers outside the pass were still busy dealing with the carcasses of the Sin Beast.
But the soldiers did not complain, after all, these were resources, and with enough resources they could become stronger.
After the banquet, Lin An returned to his residence. After dispelling the smell of alcohol, he opened the event shop with anticipation.
Compared to the previous large-scale siege event shop, the catastrophe-level event shop has more good items, higher quality items, and even some Sovereign Rank items.
Rare treasures, Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure, elixirs, special visualization diagrams, cultivation acceleration cards... everything imaginable is available.
Most importantly, Lin An actually saw Sovereign Rank secondary profession upgrade card.
[Secondary Profession Upgrade Card]: Sovereign Rank. This card can upgrade one of your King Rank secondary professions, which has reached its proficiency cap, to the Sovereign Rank. Price: 500 million. Purchase limit: 3 cards.
"They do exist, but unfortunately, there's a limit of three tickets per purchase."
Lin An shook his head, then looked at his activity points.
[Event Points]: 5.88 billion
This time, he slaughtered hundreds of millions of Sin Beast by himself, so the activity points he gained were naturally enormous, directly exceeding five billion.
Without hesitation, Lin An immediately spent 1.5 billion event points to purchase all the secondary profession upgrade cards.
Then his gaze shifted to other things.
