Chapter 1054: Chapter 9 Spirit Might King (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

Even sleeping, they were condensing? It was normal for a single sleep to span ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even millions of years.

“Take it slow.”

“I’m not in any hurry.”

Lin Yuan withdrew his thoughts. In this Fang Yuan World, he was not constrained by any lifespan limit. As far as cultivation was concerned, there was no need to rush. Steady progress was sufficient.

“Besides the Seed of the Fierce Sun, my seventh Physical Body Divine Ability…”

Lin Yuan carefully sensed the depths of his physical body’s bloodline. Threads of primordial power were intertwining and tempering.

“The Physical Body Divine Ability I’m condensing now is probably related to the Ancestor of Fierce Sun. Could it perhaps be one of the innate gifts of this thirteenth-level time being?”

Lin Yuan speculated silently. Within the Fierce Sun Ancient Country, all beings capable of condensing the Seed of the Fierce Sun carried the bloodline of the Ancestor of Fierce Sun, albeit extraordinarily diluted.

Yet no matter how diluted it was, as long as it existed, it could be drawn out and condensed through the Martial Arts Evolution Road.

…

Purple Dream Domain.

Deep within the Domain City, a grand and majestic hall stood.

The Marquis Purple Dream, dressed in flowing violet robes, stood there silently.

As time passed, one figure after another descended, appearing within the hall.

These figures were clearly avatars of sorts, but for them to stand on equal footing with the Marquis Purple Dream, they were undoubtedly Great Lord-level powerhouses.

“Purple Dream, not only have you failed in your schemes, but you also lost the Myriad Formation Crystal bestowed by His Highness?” A low, deep voice sounded, and all the other figures immediately turned their gazes to the Marquis Purple Dream.

“I will personally explain this matter to His Highness.”

The Marquis Purple Dream fell silent for a moment, then continued, “However, within Qingfen City hides another Great Lord, secretly trained as a disciple by Lord Qingfen—a piece of intelligence I was unaware of.”

If she had known earlier that a Great Lord was concealed within Qingfen City, her plans would have been vastly different. At the very least, among the infiltrators sent into the city, one would have included a Great Lord-level powerhouse.

“Failure is failure; what’s the point of explaining?”

Another figure spoke coldly, glaring at the Marquis Purple Dream.

“Enough. Stop arguing.”

At that moment, another figure spoke: “His Highness has arrived.” Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon hearing those words,

all the figures within the grand hall instantly fell silent, standing quietly in their places.

In just a moment,

a vast consciousness descended, coalescing into a tall and imposing figure within the hall.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

All the figures bowed slightly toward the tall silhouette.

“Hmm…”

The towering figure, known as the Spirit Might King, swept his gaze around. He was a king-level powerhouse.

In the many ancient countries of the Fang Yuan World, there were only two paths to being conferred the title of king.

One was to step into the Heavenly Venerable Realm and then receive the ancient country’s decree of investiture.

This was the most typical path for the many king-level powerhouses across the ancient nations.

The other was to ascend to kingship through imperial lineage.

The royal bloodline carried the essence of the ancient country’s progenitor. To become a king through imperial lineage required a bloodline concentration nearly at the core of the royal hierarchy. Additionally, one had to reach the Great Lord level in cultivation.

A Great Lord-level powerhouse with a close-to-core royal bloodline might not quite match the strength of a Heavenly Venerate but would not lag far behind, thereby qualifying them for kingship.

This Spirit Might King had ascended through the second pathway, carrying a potent bloodline of the ancestral progenitor.

“Speak. How are we to take the Qingfen Domain now?”

Spirit Might King glanced at the group, his gaze lingering momentarily on the Marquis Purple Dream before speaking lazily.

He already understood what had transpired regarding Qingfen City and knew it was not entirely the Marquis Purple Dream’s fault. Who would have anticipated that Qingfen City harbored a hidden Great Lord?

In fact, prior to initiating their plan, the Marquis Purple Dream had already simulated such a scenario, tracking the movements of Lord Qingfen’s Great Lord-level allies and the region’s other Great Lords from dozens of nearby domains.

This was to ensure that her strategy would not coincide with a visit from one of Lord Qingfen’s Great Lord-level allies.

Yet ultimately, who could foresee that Lord Qingfen had secretly nurtured a Great Lord disciple?

A Great Lord-level entity, concealed for so long? Truly, Lord Qingfen had exceptional patience!

“Your Highness, now that Lord Qingfen is on alert, seizing Qingfen City at the minimal cost… will be exceedingly difficult.” A figure spoke softly.

This was indeed the truth.

If the plan had gone smoothly, the Marquis Purple Dream would have replicated all of Qingfen City’s formations. Then, with Spirit Might King stepping forward to request assistance from the ancient country’s Array Master,

they could have completely taken control of the inner and outer formations of Qingfen City in the shortest time possible. Afterward, the gathered Great Lord-level entities could infiltrate Qingfen City without detection and strike with overwhelming force.

At that point, even if Lord Qingfen escaped alive, he would be fleeing in disarray, while Qingfen City—along with the Qingfen Domain—would inevitably fall.

But now?

The possibility of taking Qingfen City at minimal cost had been virtually eliminated.

After this encounter, Lord Qingfen would undoubtedly report the matter to the higher-ups of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country. It was even probable that, at this moment, Qingfen City already harbored powerful individuals from the nation’s capital.

Now, even if Qingfen City’s formations were laid bare, nobody would dare step inside.

“Since taking it at minimal cost is no longer possible, then we proceed with a standard assault.”

Spirit Might King spoke in an indifferent tone.

Having just ascended to kingship, and as someone who had attained it through the Great Lord level, his prestige and strength still lacked recognition. He urgently needed a war to solidify his standing.

In all the ancient nations, to beings below the Great Lord and Heavenly Venerate levels, the royal bloodline was exalted and inviolable.

But in the eyes of Great Lords and Heavenly Venerates? The so-called royal bloodline was simply seen as a matter of luck—slightly more concentrated ancestral bloodline, nothing more.

They all carried the progenitor’s essence in their veins; even if your bloodline was purer, without strength or renown, why would anyone obey you?

This was especially true of Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouses. Their strength had already reached unparalleled heights. Even the core royal members of Great Lord level could only barely compare to them in power.

Heavenly Venerate-level figures generally paid little heed to the ancient royal family. Their willingness to accept royal decrees of investiture was purely out of respect for the progenitor of the ancient nation.

“A standard assault?”

The faces of the Marquis Purple Dream and the other Great Lord-level figures changed slightly. This meant that a war between the two ancient nations was inevitable.

Of course, it would only be a localized war, likely confined to several domains or at most dozens.
