Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Triple

The Desolate Mountain.

Long Ao stared blankly at the entrance, but in the end, he didn’t go in.

Long Ao knew perfectly well that with his current strength, what could he even do if he re-entered the Tomb of the Gods?

He now had a basic understanding of the Tomb of the Gods. The aura of the expert who had suddenly appeared just before he left... Long Ao was one hundred percent certain that person was also a Divine Dao Martial Artist—a so-called Divine Spirit.

’Long Ao, this matter is beyond your ability to handle. Your most urgent task right now is to focus on your Cultivation and strive to break through to the Divine Dao Martial Artist Realm in the shortest time possible.’

A Divine Dao Martial Artist?

Long Ao wished he could reach the Divine Dao Martial Artist Realm immediately, but it wasn’t something that could be achieved just by talking about it.

After all, he was only at the Peak of Realm Emperor. Forget the Divine Dao Martial Artist Realm; he couldn’t even break through to the Void Saint Realm in a short period of time.

With a deep sigh, Long Ao knew that if he wanted to set foot in the Tomb of the Gods again, his Cultivation had to reach the Void God Realm at the very least. Otherwise, it was pointless. Going in would just be suicide.

"Brother Qilin, let’s go back."

Hearing this, the Fire Qilin let out a long sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid of Long Ao’s stubborn temper. Once Long Ao made a decision, he wouldn’t entertain any discussion and would just forge ahead on his own.

In any case, as long as Long Ao didn’t enter the Tomb of the Gods, at least he wouldn’t have to take any more risks.

The Fire Qilin was quite frustrated this time. The original plan was to kill a Spirit Beast and take its soul to help him recover his true strength. But the result was completely unexpected. The Spirit Beast Sealed beneath the City of Sin turned out to be a Dark Qilin.

A Dark Qilin was one thing, but this one had been corrupted by a Divine Spirit and turned into a Divine Soul Puppet.

The Fire Qilin knew very well that if the man in black hadn’t been a senior from the Long Clan, their chances of leaving the Tomb of the Gods would have been nothing but a pipe dream.

Long Ao and the Fire Qilin entered the City of Sin quietly. As the overlord of the City of Sin, Long Ao didn’t want to cause a commotion wherever he went.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Long Ao sat on the floor, quietly engaged in his Cultivation. Thanks to this trip into the Land of the Gods, his Cultivation had finally broken through from Realm King Peak to the Peak of Realm Emperor. He was now just one step away from the Void Saint Realm.

But it was only one step, and Long Ao knew it was an incredibly difficult one to take.

A Void Realm Emperor and a Void Semi-Saint were simply not on the same level.

Long Ao was well aware that to break through from Void Realm Emperor to Void Semi-Saint, he had to convert all the Spiritual Essence in his body into the so-called Power of Sacred Essence. Otherwise, it was impossible.

Converting Spiritual Essence to Holy Essence seemed simple, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulties. If it weren’t, why would so many Realm Emperors be stuck at this stage, unable to break through to the Void Saint Realm?

Because of this, Long Ao had immediately entered a state of Cultivation upon returning to the City of Sin, hoping to strike while the iron was hot and break through to the so-called Void Saint Realm in one go.

But Long Ao had underestimated the Void Saint Realm, and his attempt ultimately ended in failure. However, he wasn’t the least bit disappointed. After all, his Cultivation speed was already astonishingly fast. If word of his progress got out, countless people would be green with envy.

He stood up and gave a long, hard stretch.

Just then, the two Semi-Saints, Luo Tian and Zhou Chen, walked in. As the strongest experts in the City of Sin and former Emperors themselves, the two were extremely familiar with the city. This was the real reason Long Ao had transferred them here.

"Sect Leader, everything has been taken care of."

Nodding, Long Ao seemed quite satisfied. "The Four Great Forces must not find out about this matter," he said. "In one year, after I destroy Piaomiao Palace, both the Dragon Sect and my clan will move into the Dark Forest. Then, with the advantages of time and terrain, we will set up an Array. I’d like to see how the Four Great Forces will contend with me then."

Regardless of whether others were confident, Long Ao himself was extremely so. He believed that in one year, he could defeat Piaomiao Palace and completely erase its name from Kyushu.

"Sect Leader, you can rest assured on this point. The people we found this time are absolutely loyal. There is a zero percent chance this news will leak."

"Besides this matter, your next task is to recruit more forces. I don’t care what methods you use, but within one year, I want the strength of the City of Sin to triple. Not only that, I want cohesion. It can’t be like before, completely disorganized."

In the past, the City of Sin was nominally dominated by the Five Great Emperors, but in reality, the city was a mess of loose sand. Relying on the city guards alone was far from enough.

Long Ao knew that to defeat Piaomiao Palace in a year, he first needed to ensure that in addition to his Sect, the power of the City of Sin also tripled. Only then would he have a chance to stand against Piaomiao Palace.

But the two Semi-Saint Martial Artists could only give a wry smile. Was it even possible to triple the entire strength of the City of Sin in just one short year?

Of course, the two Semi-Saint Martial Artists knew all about the Sect Leader’s one-year agreement with Piaomiao Palace. They certainly understood that he wanted to deal with them, but the task he had given them was simply a bit unrealistic.

How could Long Ao not know what the two Semi-Saint Martial Artists were thinking?

"Rest assured, I will help you. From now on, you can start screening people. Those who are loyal to the City of Sin can stay. Those who are unwilling can leave at any time."

Long Ao was one hundred percent certain that the Four Great Forces already knew he controlled the City of Sin. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, Piaomiao Palace would surely move against the City of Sin before their war in a year, attempting to cut off his retreat.

It was for this very reason that Long Ao was so anxious to develop the City of Sin’s power. When the time came, he hoped to launch a pincer attack with the Dragon Sect and achieve an unexpected result.

Since things had come to this, the two Semi-Saint Martial Artists didn’t waste any more words. They turned and left quickly, disappearing without a trace in a matter of moments.

’It’s time.’

Long Ao gazed into the distant, endless void. Out there, Piaomiao Palace stood tall on Piaomiao Peak. One year from now, no matter what level his strength reached, he would lead his Sect and the City of Sin to ascend Piaomiao Peak and raze the so-called Piaomiao Palace to the ground.

Next, Long Ao prepared to build a Corpse Slave Army—one composed of World King Spirit Beasts and Realm Emperor Spirit Beasts. If his strength permitted, he also planned to create a Corpse Slave Army of Semi-Saint Spirit Beasts. With this, he would have a greater chance of success in the great battle a year from now.

At this thought, Long Ao didn’t hesitate for a moment longer. He immediately left the City of Sin and headed for the Dark Forest.

The Fire Qilin had originally planned to go with him. After all, even though the Fire Qilin hadn’t recovered its true form, its current strength was more than enough to obliterate Semi-Saints and even Saints.
