After Qin Shao left, Lin An adjusted his state of mind and also took stock of the rare and precious materials Qin Shao had brought.
"That's enough to refine nine ancient formations."
Lin An thought to himself, then opened his own panel and looked at the nine ancient formations he had learned.
Currently, these nine ancient formations are only at the beginner level; he plans to upgrade them all to perfection.
Then I glanced at the attribute points; there were still 12.37 billion left.
"I almost forgot about the previous leaderboard results."
Lin An opened the leaderboard again. Fortunately, after reaching the King Realm, although the leaderboard was settled every month, it could be accumulated indefinitely.
After all, once you reach the King Realm, it's normal to spend several years in seclusion to cultivate; you might easily forget to claim it if you're not careful.
"System, claim the leaderboard settlement reward, all of it will be counted as attribute points," Lin An said. Since arriving in the Domain, he had not yet claimed any leaderboard settlement rewards.
[Players have accumulated leaderboard rewards over a total of 22 months; the rewards are currently being processed...]
Lin An was surprised; he hadn't expected that he had been in the Domain for 22 months, almost two years.
Soon, the system's voice sounded again.
[Settlement successful. Congratulations! You have gained a total of 3.56 billion attribute points.]
The Sovereign Rank secondary profession can only accumulate 10 million attribute points per month, while the Immortal Rank profession can accumulate 50 million per month.
After the calculations, Lin An's attribute points reached 15.93 billion.
"Just relying on the guaranteed minimum isn't enough; I'll have to figure out how to get some attribute points later," Lin An thought to himself.
Unfortunately, there is no Spirit Realm within this Domain.
The Spirit Realm was formed from fragments of the shattered Myriad Spirits Realm, and thus it drifts near the Myriad Spirits Realm.
Since the Domain is isolated from the Myriad Spirits Realm, the Spirit Realm naturally cannot appear near the Domain.
" The Sin Banquet is actually a good opportunity to gain attribute points."
Thinking about it, Lin An also started allocating attribute points.
[You have consumed ten million attribute points, increasing your Nine Palaces Sword Annihilation Formation proficiency to Mastery.]
[You have consumed 50 million attribute points, increasing your Nine Palaces Sword Annihilation Formation proficiency to minor mastery.]
[You have consumed 200 million attribute points, and your Nine Palaces Sword Annihilation Formation proficiency has been increased to Mastery.]
[You have consumed 500 million attribute points, and your Nine Palaces Sword Annihilation Formation proficiency has been increased to perfection.]
From beginner to mastery, an ancient formation technique consumed a total of 760 million attribute points.
In total, the nine ancient formations would cost 6.84 billion.
That's enough.
Then Lin An continued to allocate attribute points.
[Your proficiency in the Heavenly Peak Demon Sealing Formation has been increased to Perfect.]
[Your proficiency in the Yellow Springs Netherworld Formation has been increased to maximum.]
[Your proficiency in the Great Void Illusory Annihilation Formation has been increased to the maximum.]
[...]
A series of notification sounds rang out, and with a large amount of attribute points being poured in, all nine ancient formations reached the perfect level.
At this point, Lin An still had 9.09 billion attribute points left, enough to bring one of his secondary professions to the Immortal Rank.
After spending some time quickly digesting his insights from the nine ancient formations, Lin An turned his attention to the rare and precious materials.
"Gentlemen, let's begin."
As soon as Lin An finished speaking, the two Immortal Realm experts beside him skillfully contributed their power, allowing Lin An to use it at his discretion.
The three have been working together for several years, so they have developed an extremely good rapport.
Lin An took out the treasures one by one and began to use his Immortal power to refine them.
He originally intended to refine array flags, but now that the Nine Gates Ancient Array has reached perfection, there's no need for them anymore. He can directly condense array patterns using these treasures, and once he enters the Sin Banquet Secret Realm, he can simply unfold and activate them for use, which is much more convenient.
Time passed slowly, and under the effect of the Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation, the time he spent refining the formation was reduced by 95%, while the effect increased by 1365%.
Furthermore, the addition of mutation probability gives the formation many abilities that it did not originally possess, significantly increasing its power.
With such diligent refining, nearly a month passed in the outside world, and only one day remained before the opening of the Sin Banquet Secret Realm.
During the two busy months of Lin An's time, the major forces within the Domain were also not idle. Instead, they took the initiative to hunt down the Sin Beast outside the Domain, preventing some of Sin Beast from entering the Sin Banquet Secret Realm in advance.
" The Sin Banquet begins tomorrow. Once inside the Sin Banquet Secret Realm, hunt as many Sin Beast as possible, and don't forget to collect the rare and precious materials within."
"This is a crisis, but also an opportunity. A thousand years ago, the Zhao Family was just a small clan. However, by reaping rich rewards in the Sin Banquet Secret Realm, they have become a powerful clan in just a thousand years."
"Moreover, the Sin Banquet Secret Realm even holds the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Realm. If we can break through to the Immortal Realm, we can instantly make our family a regional overlord."
Even if we don't get the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Realm, having a few more Sovereign Realm in the family would be a huge improvement.
"..."
Within the Domain, forces large and small are eager to fight.
The large families wanted to acquire more resources and further solidify their position in the Domain.
Smaller families, on the other hand, aspire to defy fate and become a powerful clan that no one dares to underestimate.
The day passed quickly as we waited.
Buzzing...
On this day, the world suddenly darkened, and endless dark clouds shrouded the entire sky.
After a while, the dark sky was suddenly torn open, and a scarlet blood moon rose from the crack.
The surface of the blood moon was covered with twisted black veins, which, under the reflection of the dark clouds, resembled the pupil of an ancient being.
The blood moon's light shone down, turning the already dim world into a crimson expanse.
Beneath this radiance, the aura of countless Sin Beast began to rise.
Roar roar roar...
Roars echoed throughout the Sin Abyss, as countless Sin Beast roared towards the blood moon, as if calling out to and worshipping an indescribably powerful being.
Only the Domain can block the radiance of the blood moon from the outside, so as to prevent Human Race from being corrupted by the radiance of the blood moon.
Rumble rumble...
Soon, countless cracks appeared throughout the Sin Abyss, eventually transforming into passages that appeared in various parts of the Sin Abyss.
When the Sin Beast saw these passages, they became excited and rushed into them without hesitation, disappearing from sight.
"The Blood Moon has descended, and the Sin Banquet Secret Realm has opened."
Qin Shao looked at this strange phenomenon with a solemn expression and said...
Although it wasn't the first time he'd experienced it, each time a blood moon descended, it brought him immense pressure.
"Brother Qin, what is the origin of this blood moon?" Lin An asked curiously.
Three days ago, Lin An had already finished refining the formation and made some preparations for himself before emerging from seclusion.
"Its origins are unknown, but this blood moon has existed since ancient times."
Qin Shao said, "Back then, there were speculations that the blood moon might have originated from a powerful Sin Beast, but it was never confirmed."
Lin An nodded, his gaze lingering on the blood moon for a moment, but unfortunately he couldn't discern anything.
"When do we go in?" Lin An asked.
"An hour later, I will escort you into it."
Qin Shao said, "However, the others in the Domain will have to wait until the blood moon's radiance subsides in three days before they can enter. Otherwise, once they leave the Domain, they will be instantly corrupted by the radiance and turned into puppets that only know how to kill."
Lin An nodded and was about to speak when the system's voice suddenly rang out.
[ The Sin Banquet event has begun...]
