• After recovering enough to rejoin his body, the seventh clan elder roared and unleashed a jade pendant that radiated golden light and terrifying pressure.

He planned to spend the two days before the fifteenth helping Lin Xiao improve his cultivation and began upgrading Lin Xiao’s Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal.

Lin An strengthened the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal and helped Lin Xiao cultivate before preparing to leave for Heavenly Vault Pass. Meanwhile, a spatial rift opened near Guangwu City, releasing a tentacled creature whose aura threatened the city and empowered the surrounding Sin Beasts.

• Lin An used two Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystals to improve the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal, then offered to help Lin Xiao cultivate before leaving.
• Lin Xiao declined Lin An's invitation to Heavenly Vault Pass because he needed to remain at the Lin Family's ancestral estate in Shenglin City.
• Lin An assisted Lin Xiao's cultivation with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal, rapidly improving his mastery of the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique.
• Wu Qi learned that millions of Sin Beasts and three Epic Realm Sin Beasts had gathered near Guangwu City, while experts from the royal capital were expected to arrive.
• A massive tentacle emerged from the rapidly widening spatial rift, and its aura stirred malice in the defenders while strengthening the Sin Beasts.
• Wu Qi activated Guangwu City's defensive formation against the creature's growing aura as the Sin Beasts advanced in cultivation.

Zheng Tang and thirty mythic realm experts investigated the tentacle emerging from the rift near Guangwu City, but its power overwhelmed their attack and forced them to retreat. Zheng Tang realized they needed a king realm expert and went to Shenglin City to seek Lin An.

• Wu Qi reported the tentacle and the rapidly strengthening Sin Beasts to Zheng Tang when he arrived in Guangwu City with thirty mythic realm experts.
• Zheng Tang and the experts approached the rift and discovered that energy from the tentacle was making the Sin Beasts stronger.
• Zheng Tang struck the tentacle with his Thunder Origin Sword, but it shattered his attack and sent out a force that drained most of the group's spiritual energy.
• Zheng Tang led the experts back to Guangwu City and told Wu Qi that the threat was beyond their strength, though someone else could deal with it.
• Zheng Tang used the Teleportation Formation to travel to Shenglin City and seek Lin An.

• Lin An failed to divine anything about the other version of himself and told Lin Xiao he planned to leave Shenglin City soon.
• Zheng Tang arrived and reported that a huge tentacle from a spatial rift near Guangwu City had overwhelmed the strength of thirty Mythic Realm cultivators.

• Lin An gave Lin Xiao a storage ring containing pills, resources, and a token with sealed King Realm power, then departed with Zheng Tang.
• Lin Xiao returned to his meditation chamber to cultivate, while Lin An and Zheng Tang reached Guangwu City about fifteen minutes later.

Lin An triggered a large-scale Sin Beast Siege Event in Guangwu City and killed more than ten million Sin Beasts at once, earning 240 million points. The event remained active, so he turned to the black tentacle emerging from the spatial rift and took out a jade pendant.

• Lin An arrived in Guangwu City with Zheng Tang, and the Heavenly Vault Army's Mythic Realm experts greeted him as their young master.
• Lin An approached the spatial rift, used Formless Illusory Tower to send the Sin Beasts charging toward Guangwu City, and stopped Zheng Tang from intervening.
• After a Sin Beast attacked the city, the siege event began, and Lin An annihilated the more than ten million trapped beasts, earning 240 million points.
• Zheng Tang told Wu Qi that Lin An was in the King Realm, shocking Wu Qi and confirming his respect for Lin An's ranking on the Ancient Spirit Tower Stele.
• Lin An waited, realized the siege event had not ended, and faced the black tentacle while taking out a jade pendant.

Lin An used the Heavenly Revelation Emperor’s jade pendant to summon a projection against a Sin Beast whose tentacle survived both a powerful strike and the projection’s self-destruction. A black-robed figure severed the tentacle and closed the rift, leaving Lin An to suspect that powerful humans guarded the depths of the Sin Abyss.

• Lin An activated the jade pendant, and the Heavenly Revelation Emperor’s projection appeared to confront the Sin Beast outside Guangwu City.
• The projection struck the black tentacle with a golden finger, but it left no mark, leading Lin An to suspect the creature had reached the Sovereign Realm.
• The projection burned its rules of heaven and earth and self-detonated, but the Sin Beast effortlessly annihilated the resulting energy.
• A black-robed figure appeared through the spatial rift, severed the tentacle with a saber strike, and closed the rift as the Sin Beast’s true body fled.
• Lin An concluded that Sovereign Realm beings might dwell beyond the explored outskirts of the Sin Abyss and that humans could be guarding them.

Lin An killed the King Realm Fifth Grade Sin Beast that emerged from the spatial rift and learned from Zheng Tang about the imperial family's plans at Heavenly Vault Pass. After hiding his involvement by altering Wu Qi and the others’ memories, he sensed a great opportunity connected to Zhou Ping and decided to wait in Guangwu City.

• Lin An used his domains and ultimate techniques to kill the black tentacle, ending the large-scale siege event and absorbing its remains with the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
• Lin An ordered Wu Qi to clear the Sin Beast corpses, then told Zheng Tang that he had killed the imperial family's seventh clan elder and taken the jade pendant containing the Heavenly Revelation Emperor's power.
• Zheng Tang explained what had happened at Heavenly Vault Pass, and Lin An suspected the imperial family's grand clan elder had an ulterior motive for staying there.
• Lin An used the Formless Illusory Tower to alter Wu Qi and the others’ memories, making them believe the seventh clan elder had died fighting a powerful Sin Beast.
• Lin An learned that Zhou Ping would return from a Spirit Realm the next day, decided to wait for the opportunity he sensed, and turned to the event shop.

Lin An spent his event points on cultivation resources and upgraded all his remaining secondary professions to King Rank. The next day, Zhou Ping gave him an ancient bronze lamp that Lin An recognized as the great opportunity he had sensed, though its purpose remained unclear.

• Lin An bought Divine Ability Upgrade Stones, Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystals, Tenfold Cultivation Cards, King Rank Secondary Profession Upgrade Cards, and a Spirit Enlightenment Pill, then exchanged his remaining points for attribute points.
• Lin An used attribute points and upgrade cards to raise his spirit chef, spirit planter, and breeder professions to King Rank, earning 150 Divine Ability Upgrade Stones from server-first rewards.
• Lin An learned that advancing a King Rank secondary profession required 300 million attribute points and a Sovereign Rank upgrade card, then decided to wait for Zhou Ping’s opportunity.
• Zhou Ping returned to Guangwu City with his companions and met Lin An at the teleportation plaza, thanking him for the pill that had restored his ability to cultivate.
• Zhou Ping offered Lin An an ancient bronze lamp he had obtained in a Spirit Realm, and Lin An discovered it was a special treasure that used the power of rules to dispel fog and guide the way.

• Lin An gave Zhou Ping a pill that could help someone break through to the Epic Realm, then traveled through the Sin Abyss back to Heavenly Vault Pass.

• The grand elder invited Li Yunshan to discuss the Dao, and the two began exchanging their understanding of the rules they had mastered.
• The third prince summoned Li Xiyun to the reception hall, while a shadow slipped out from the grand elder’s pavilion.
• Lin An sensed the concealed intruder approaching Li Zhao’s hall, hid his King Realm aura, and waited while pretending to cultivate.

Lin An and the guards killed the grand elder’s shadow clone after the Great Derivation Seal trapped it in the hall. The clone’s destruction injured the grand elder, and Li Yunshan used the opening to assault him and feed him a useless pill, leaving him unconscious.

• The grand elder’s shadow clone entered the hall and recognized Lin An as a promising young cultivator before identifying Li Zhao’s blood cocoon as the result of a Nirvana Life-Extending Pill.
• The clone tried to strike the cocoon, but a King Rank formation appeared and Lin An alerted the guards; the Great Derivation Seal then suppressed the clone’s power.
• Wei Min and the other guards attacked the clone, and Lin An finished it with a flash of saber light.
• After confirming the clone’s death, Lin An sent the guards back to their posts and resumed cultivating.
• The grand elder coughed up blood while speaking with Li Yunshan, who struck him with the laws of heaven and earth and forced him to swallow a useless pill.
• Li Yunshan patted the grand elder’s back until he spat up more blood and passed out.

• The grand elder returned to his pavilion, lamented the destruction of his clone, and planned to report Lin An’s talent to the emperor.
• Li Xiyun learned that the imperial family had targeted Li Zhao, and Lin An reassured her that he and Li Yunshan would protect him.
• After three days, Li Zhao emerged from the shattered blood cocoon healed and with an improved innate constitution.
• Li Zhao was astonished to learn Lin An had reached the King Realm in less than a month, then Lin An presented the Tranquil Mind Lotus Throne for him to use after rebuilding his cultivation.

Lin An gave Li Yunshan a treasure that could help Li Zhao break through to the King Realm and planned to use Li Zhao to poison the third prince with corrosive power. He learned about the Land of Rules and asked Li Yunshan about a lifespan shackle he had discovered after reaching the King Realm.

• Lin An gave Li Yunshan the Tranquil Mind Lotus Throne and said he would make King Rank pills to help Li Zhao break through to the King Realm.
• Li Xiyun told Li Zhao that the imperial family's grand clan elder had tried to sabotage his nirvana, and Li Zhao became furious and grateful to Lin An.
• Lin An gave Li Zhao corrosive power to place inside the third prince, planning for it to erupt a month later.
• Li Yunshan explained that the Land of Rules was an exceptionally rare place for King Realm experts to advance, and that the imperial families possessed imitations of it.
• Lin An asked Li Yunshan about the lifespan shackle that had appeared inside him after his breakthrough to the King Realm.
