[ Weapon Upgrade Card ]: Sovereign Rank. This card can upgrade a weapon whose proficiency has reached its maximum level to the Sovereign Rank. Price: 300 million. Limited to 1 card per user.
[ Heaven and Earth Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystal ]: A special item that can be used to upgrade Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure. Price: 100 million. Limited to 10 per customer.
[ Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure Ascension Card ]: A special item that can upgrade an ultimate Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure to a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure. Price: 1 billion. Limited to 1 card per user.
Lin An bought all three items for 1.3 billion, and now has 2.08 billion event points remaining.
What should I buy with the remaining two billion event points?
Lin An searched through the online store and found quite a few good items, but most of them weren't very useful to him.
"Huh? They sell this too?"
Lin An's eyes lit up when he saw one of the props.
The Heaven and Earth Rules Token!
He had obtained this item once before, which allowed him to enter the Land of Rules and rapidly improve his cultivation level.
Although he has now reached the King Realm Ninth Grade, the value of this item has actually increased.
"In the Land of Rules, the rules of heaven and earth are complete. Does that mean I can break through to the Sovereign Realm in the Land of Rules?"
Lin An wasn't sure, but that didn't stop him from giving it a try.
If he succeeds, he can become Sovereign Realm before going to the Domain, ensuring his safety upon Domain and preventing him from being easily manipulated.
Even if we fail, it'll only amount to two billion event points.
If he wanted, he could easily spend some time using the Formless Illusory Tower to gather hundreds of millions of Sin Beast again and try it once more.
Lin An immediately made up his mind. The allure of the Sovereign Realm was still very strong for him, and he wouldn't miss it even if there was only a sliver of a chance.
[You have successfully purchased the Heaven and Earth Rules Token by spending 2 billion event points.]
As for the remaining 80 million activity points, Lin An converted all of them into attribute points, which amounted to more than 8 million.
After closing the shop, Lin An looked at the items he had purchased and opened the panel. He planned to upgrade his secondary profession to the Sovereign Rank first.
"Let's focus on improving the formation masters, puppeteers, and alchemists first."
Thinking about it, Lin An glanced at his attribute points.
[Attribute Points]: 7.83 billion
" Zheng Tang really put in a lot of effort."
Lin An smiled. He was only two billion short of reaching ten billion attribute points, and Zheng Tang had made a huge contribution to this achievement.
" The Heavenly Vault Army's strength is still somewhat lacking, especially those legion commanders. They've been at the Mythic Ninth Grade for quite some time, and it's time for them all to break through to the King Realm."
However, Lin An was not in a hurry about this matter. He would discuss it with his grandfather later, since the other party was the Heavenly Vault King and would have his own way of rewarding and punishing the Heavenly Vault Army.
[Formation Master]: King Rank 0/300 million attribute points.
[You have spent 300 million attribute points, and your secondary profession, Array Master, has reached its proficiency cap.]
[Do you wish to consume a Sovereign Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Card to upgrade your Array Master to Sovereign Rank?]
"Yes."
[The player's current location is found to have incomplete Heaven and Earth rules, preventing further advancement.]
Looking at the prompt, Lin An frowned; he had actually failed.
"That's true. If you can't even break through to the Sovereign Realm, let alone upgrade your secondary profession to the Sovereign Rank."
"It seems the only option is to head to the Land of Rules and see if we can improve."
Thinking it over, Lin An didn't waste any time and sent a telepathic message to his grandparents, informing them that he would be leaving for a while and would return before September.
After exchanging greetings, Lin An took out the Heaven and Earth Rules Token and activated it.
The power of spatial teleportation appeared, and a few breaths later, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Land of Rules.
"They even changed locations."
Lin An looked around. Although they were still on an island, it was not the first island he had entered.
"It seems this Land of Rules is divided into many areas. I wonder where Land of Rules located, and besides using the Heaven and Earth Rules Token, what other methods are there to enter?"
Thinking it over, Lin An also found a cliff and then took out his secondary profession upgrade card again.
[Do you wish to consume a Sovereign Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Card to upgrade your Array Master to Sovereign Rank?]
"Yes."
After confirming again, this time there was no notification of failure to upgrade, and the secondary profession upgrade card transformed into a stream of light and flowed into his brow.
Boom...
The next instant, a strange power emerged, attracting countless rules of heaven and earth, which surged into his body.
At the same time, a series of messages flashed through Lin An's mind, all of which were related to the Sovereign Rank array masters.
Sovereign Rank array master no longer needs rare and precious materials to set up an array; with a single thought, they can manipulate the rules of heaven and earth to form a grand array.
Within an array, one can even temporarily alter the rules of heaven and earth, becoming the Sovereign heaven and earth within the array.
In addition, it can enlighten formations, give birth to intelligence, and become like a living being. It can even use itself as a formation to influence the power of heaven and earth.
"Is this the existence of Sovereign? In terms of formations, formations are rules; in terms of myself, I am the rules!"
At this moment, Lin An gained a deeper understanding of the Sovereign Rank.
Before they knew it, a day had passed, and the system's voice didn't sound again until the morning of the next day.
[You have become the first Sovereign Rank Array Master in the entire server. Congratulations! You have received an additional reward: Secondary Cultivation Spirit Crystal.]
[A server-wide announcement is coming soon. Do you want to hide your name?]
"Need not."
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Lin An for becoming the first Sovereign Rank Array Master in the entire server! This is to inform you of this achievement. Other players are encouraged to continue their efforts!] x3
Three consecutive server-wide announcements once again stirred up a huge uproar among the players.
"Holy crap, the big boss is pulling out all the stops again! The formation master has reached the Sovereign Rank. By the way, what exactly is the Sovereign Rank level?"
"So, after the King Rank comes the Sovereign Rank? It seems that realms are like that, with the Sovereign Realm following the King Realm."
"Who said the King Realm was the current game version's ceiling? There haven't been any updates, and the top players' formation master levels have already reached the Sovereign Rank."
"If your secondary profession has reached the Sovereign Rank, then your cultivation level is probably about to break through to the Sovereign Realm as well."
"We thought the big shots would be waiting for us at the top, but it turns out we're getting further and further away from them."
"..."
Players weren't surprised that Lin An had once again triggered a server-wide announcement; what surprised them was that they had learned of a new level of understanding.
After the King Realm comes the Sovereign Realm, information that players have not previously encountered.
Lin An neither noticed nor cared about the players' discussions.
At this moment, he was looking at the Secondary Cultivation Spirit Crystal with great curiosity.
This is an extra reward given only after reaching the Sovereign Rank Array Master level, so its effect should be quite good.
Filled with curiosity, Lin An opened the information on the Secondary Cultivation Spirit Crystal to take a look.
