Days later.
Endless Continent, Entrance to the Divine Realm.
Ye Xuan returned to this place once more with the Exquisite Pagoda. Indeed, Ye Xuan's entry into the divine realm channel caused the will of the divine realm to tremble. Clearly, it never expected Ye Xuan to break through to above the Divine Emperor in such a short time.
Finally!
Not long after, Ye Xuan returned to Xuántiān Divine City in Píngyuán Commandery, Yanzhōu, of the Divine Realm.
"You're back."
Luo Tianyi looked at the worried person, who had finally returned from the endless expanse. Her hanging heart finally relaxed. Zhàn Húntiān and others also gathered around.
About half a day later.
Ye Xuan summoned everyone from the Ba Jian Divine Kingdom to Xuántiān Divine Palace. Clearly, he was about to undertake a grand undertaking this time.
"Divine Lord, why have you summoned us?"
Sī Tú Yùwén, the strongest ancestor of the Ba Jian Divine Kingdom, asked expectantly. With such a grand mobilization, he already had some guesses.
Undoubtedly!
As Sī Tú Yùwén's voice fell, all eyes turned to Ye Xuan, and everyone's spirits were raised to the highest level, their eyes fixed on the scene without blinking.
Clearly, they were also quite expectant!!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "You must have guessed it."
"From today onwards, I plan to upgrade the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom to a Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom."
Boom!!!
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Sī Tú Yùwén and the others were truly shocked. A Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom, it was indeed... the Divine Lord was going to act!!
"This..."
The strongest ancestor of the Ba Dao Divine Kingdom was shaken upon hearing this. He gulped and then asked the most important question, "Divine Lord, although our strength is sufficient to be promoted to a Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom, there are only seventeen Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms in the Divine Realm. If we rashly ascend, we might be jointly targeted by them."
The strongest ancestor of the Ba Dao Divine Kingdom nodded upon hearing this. After all, the Divine Realm was not boundless, and resources were finite. This was why many top experts in Eighth-Rank Divine Kingdoms, despite having more than one or two cultivators at the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Emperor realm, dared not be promoted to Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms.
One must know!
To be enemies with seventeen Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms was no different from being enemies with the entire Divine Realm!
After all, it was not easy to take a share of the pie from them.
"Heh, there's no need to worry about that."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and then looked into the distance, "In three days, we will hold a grand ceremony for the promotion to Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom. If the seventeen Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms make a move then, no one will be allowed to leave."
"!!!!!!"
Hearing their Divine Lord's words, everyone was stunned. Even though the four strongest ancestors of the Ba Jian Divine Kingdom had reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Emperor realm, they did not dare to be so bold.
After all, after eons of accumulation, those seventeen Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms likely had existences at the Half-step Supreme Realm, and possibly more than one.
"Could it be..."
Seeing that their Divine Lord was so determined, Sī Tú Líxuàn narrowed his eyes, "Divine Lord, could it be that you have already stepped into the Supreme Realm!!"
Huh!?
Upon this statement, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone's gaze snapped to Ye Xuan. This was clearly the source of their belief in the Divine Lord's confidence.
Ye Xuan did not answer. Instead, an aura emanated from Ye Xuan, spreading throughout the entire hall.
Instantly, everyone felt an aura far exceeding the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Emperor, and even the Half-step Supreme Realm.
"This... such pressure!?"
"Even the Exquisite Divine Emperor and the Shitian Divine Emperor from countless years ago were no more than this!!"
Within the hall, everyone was silent!
Everyone felt the pressure emanating from Ye Xuan. Strong!
Unprecedentedly strong. It could be said that Ye Xuan was the strongest person they had ever seen!
"This is the Hongmeng Realm."
Ye Xuan naturally understood everyone's reaction and then slowly explained, "It is also what the Divine Realm calls the Supreme Realm."
"The Hongmeng Realm has thirty-three heavens, and each heaven is worlds apart."
"What!!"
This statement immediately shook the entire hall. The Hongmeng Realm is the Supreme Realm, and it has thirty-three heavens!
Knowing that their Divine Lord had entered the Hongmeng Realm, Sī Tú Yùwén and the others naturally had no more to say.
It was a joke!
A cultivator of the Hongmeng Realm, an existence above the Divine Emperor, could unify the Divine Realm without any problem, let alone a mere promotion to the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Emperor.
Three days later, the grand ceremony for the promotion of Xuántiān Divine Kingdom to Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom began.
"The Ba Jian Divine Kingdom joins the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom, willing to expand its territory and unify the eight directions for the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom!"
"The Ba Dao Divine Kingdom joins the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom, willing to expand its territory and unify the eight directions for the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom!"
"The Ba Qiang Divine Kingdom joins the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom, willing to expand its territory and unify the eight directions for the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom!"
"The Ba Tian Divine Kingdom joins the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom, willing to expand its territory and unify the eight directions for the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom!"
As various forces gathered, the four divine kingdoms led by the Ba Jian Divine Kingdom announced their joining of the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom. For a time, the Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms, which had not paid much attention before, became considerably serious. This was because any one of the four divine kingdoms of Ba Jian possessed strength that faintly rivaled that of a Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom. Now that the four were willing to join the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom, they had to re-evaluate the weight of the Xuántiān Divine Kingdom.
"You... you dare to enslave me!!"
However, this voice did not last long before it was successfully enslaved again by the Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone, marking the seventeenth Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdom's strongest ancestor to be enslaved by the Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone.
To minimize losses, Ye Xuan had adopted a method similar to the Eight-Winged Black Angel to pacify the Divine Realm as quickly as possible. The most direct method was to enslave the Half-step Hongmeng Realm experts of the seventeen Ninth-Rank Divine Kingdoms.
If this were before, this feat would have been as difficult as reaching the heavens. But now, Ye Xuan was a cultivator of the Triple Heaven of the Hongmeng Realm.
Let alone the mere Half-step Hongmeng Realm experts before him, even those at the Second or Triple Heaven of the Hongmeng Realm would be defeated in front of him!
"Main body, why are you having me enslave so many experts?"
The Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone looked dumbfounded at the seventeen Half-step Hongmeng Realm experts within the Exquisite Pagoda. Even now, it felt like a dream.
"Heh, it's nothing."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and then said, "It's just... in the future, I want you to be the Lord of the Divine Realm for me."
"Pfft~!!"
Hearing the main body's words, the Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone was directly stunned, "What!"
"Lord of the Divine Realm, this!?"
"Cough cough... Isn't this a bit too sudden? And I'm only at the Seventh Heaven of the Divine Emperor realm right now."
The Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone smacked its lips, truly shocked by this information. Damn it, this was playing too big.
"What, you don't want to?"
Ye Xuan's main body looked at the Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone's reaction indifferently and said, "The Outer Demon Realm is now ruled by my fourth clone as its lord. If you don't agree, I'll have to find the Ice River Behemoth clone or the Elf Tribe clone. Of course, even Little Black would do if it came down to it."
"No!"
"I... agree!!"
Upon hearing that the main body was going to replace the Lord of the Divine Realm, it immediately became unhappy, especially since the fourth clone had already become the Lord of the Outer Demon Realm. If it didn't have some extremely prestigious status, it would always be suppressed by that guy. This was something an aunt could tolerate, but an aunt would definitely not tolerate it. It was determined to be the Lord of the Divine Realm~~
Seeing the flicker in the Violet-Gold Divine Dragon clone's eyes, Ye Xuan curved its lips and then looked towards the peak of the void, "The Divine Realm has entered a period of peace. It seems... it's time to head to the Primordial World."
