As Qin Shilei successfully advanced to the Diamond realm, many on Blue Star also noticed the change in his cultivation.
"Extra, extra! King Qin An has successfully advanced to the Diamond realm!"
"What kind of extra is that? Isn't King Qin An's advancement a foregone conclusion?" wap.kanshu5.net
"I want to cry. Why is King Qin An's advancement so easy, while I'm still stuck at the peak of Silver?"
"+1. Big shot Qin is already three realms ahead of me. I'm afraid a single glance from him could instantly kill me."
"On the leaderboard, one person in the Diamond realm: King Qin An. Three people in the Platinum realm: King Qin An's three wives. Ten thousand people in the Gold realm, with King Qin An's mansion occupying ninety percent of the spots. If you tell me King Qin An isn't the system's illegitimate child, I won't believe you."
"I don't ask to be the system's illegitimate child. I just want to be King Qin An's subordinate. Does Big shot Qin's thigh still need a hanger-on?"
Countless envious words scrolled across the chat channel.
Yet, there was not a single trace of jealousy.
This was because they had heard such stimulating news too many times before and had become accustomed to it.
Another reason was a slight fear of King Qin An, lest they anger him and he tracked them down through the internet.
The evolvers under King Qin An's mansion, upon hearing the news, excitedly expressed their joy on the chat channel.
In the Thunder Valley, An Qian and the other two women also bestowed their kisses, congratulating their husband on his successful advancement.
After calming his emotions, Qin Shilei began to test his strength after the advancement nearby.
In his normal state, his strength was at least three times stronger than before his advancement.
Upon activating the Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, Qin Shilei's transformed giant reached a height of fifty meters, and his strength increased by at least fivefold.
After advancing to the Diamond realm, he learned another ultimate skill from the Thunder Movement Nine Heavens cultivation technique.
Thunder Movement Nine Heavens: Connects the elements between heaven and earth to unleash a supreme lightning ability.
This move, Thunder Movement Nine Heavens, could be used as an area-of-effect attack with power and range similar to the Devouring Thunder. Alternatively, it could concentrate scattered lightning to unleash a world-destroying lightning pillar.
With a single strike, a perfectly round hole, three to four meters wide, was instantly created through the middle of a thirty to forty-story building.
This hole extended twenty to thirty meters deep into the ground.
"Brother Qin, this power is one or two points stronger than your previous Heaven-Shattering Sword," Zhang Xiaoli exclaimed.
"Better than nothing. It's just another means," Qin Shilei said calmly.
In terms of raw power, Heaven-Shattering Sword was still stronger. In terms of attack range, he already had Devouring Thunder.
Furthermore, Qin Shilei preferred using his sword, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
Just then, the All Things Attribute Refresh System also chimed.
[Ding, All Things Attribute Refresh System update complete.]
[Ding, Host gains one attribute slot.]
[Ding, daily attribute refresh count increased to two hundred times, fixed attribute count increased to one hundred.]
[Ding, All Things Attribute Refresh System adds a group refresh fixed function.]
[Ding, All Things Attribute Refresh System adds a large-area refresh fixed function.]
Looking at these notifications, Qin Shilei felt a glimmer of hope.
Suppressing the urge to test them immediately, he first refreshed his sixth attribute.
[Proceed with attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Serene Detachment (Red): After fixing this attribute, one's mindset becomes as tranquil and detached as a enlightened monk, increasing cultivation speed for Buddhist practices by two times.
Seven-Orifice Exquisite (Purple): Possesses seven orifices in the heart, allowing for multitasking.
Now that he had successfully advanced to the Diamond realm, the primary objective of his trip to the Beautiful Country had been achieved. Qin Shilei prepared to return.
He temporarily left the members of the Nightfall organization here. On one hand, it was to fully incorporate the Beautiful Country into the influence of King Qin An's Mansion.
On the other hand, it would allow them to clear out various mutated beasts in the vicinity, thereby collecting more resources for King Qin An's Mansion and enhancing their own strength.
As Qin Shilei's direct subordinates, the Nightfall members held supreme status in the Beautiful Country.
However, they did not directly manage the entire Beautiful Country. Instead, Nova acted as their representative to govern it.
To ensure the safety of the Nightfall members, Qin Shilei specifically used the Mountain River Map to locate and kill all Platinum-level mutated beasts within a radius of ten to twenty thousand kilometers of the Beautiful Country.
Qin Shilei experimented and found that the upgraded system could refresh attributes for teams ranging from one hundred to ten thousand people.
He gathered all five hundred and one Nightfall members, including Mu Ziping.
[Proceed with attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
United Effort (Red): When more members of this team fight together, their coordination will be more tacit, and their overall strength will increase by up to twenty percent.
Impenetrable Fortress (Red): When more members of this team fight together, their overall defensive power will increase, reaching a maximum of fifty percent.
Before leaving, Qin Shilei also needed to find a hidden location here to set up a fixed teleportation array, which would allow for more convenient travel to the Beautiful Country in the future.
Finally, they chose a large mountain and dug a cave tens of meters deep at a secluded cliff face. After setting up the teleportation array, they sealed the cave completely.
Then, they used the teleportation array to instantly return to the City of Hope.
Not long after, Tan Anguo came to find him.
"First, congratulations to King Qin An on successfully advancing to the Diamond realm!"
Qin Shilei nodded and said, "Elder Tan, you should also spend some time cultivating. Our Great Xia still needs your wise counsel."
Tan Anguo replied, "King Qin An is right. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
He paused and then recounted the affairs of King Qin An during this period.
In the more than twenty days Qin Shilei and his group were away, Great Xia had developed well, and its territory had more than doubled.
Vast amounts of resources were continuously transported back to various strongholds.
Moreover, there were over a hundred purple-grade items and more than ten rare heavenly treasures waiting for Qin Shilei to collect.
After detailing the achievements during this period, Tan Anguo again spoke of the problems encountered.
"Although we have abundant oil now, due to terrain and other limitations, the speed of trucks is still not ideal."
"According to our intelligence department, the Sun Never Sets Empire seems to have a large number of summoned flying creatures."
"We hope King Qin An can visit the Sun Never Sets Empire, find a way to contract these flying creatures, and help everyone solve the problem of travel."
Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and replied, "Since the Sun Never Sets Empire possesses such a method, it is indeed worth my personal visit.
However, I temporarily need to consolidate my cultivation. I will depart when the time is right."
Consolidating his cultivation was merely an excuse. Qin Shilei simply did not want to undertake another long-distance journey at the moment.
The establishment of King Qin An's Mansion was to have them share some trivial matters for him, not to turn him into their nanny who would constantly be running errands.
To cope with the potential appearance of Grandmaster or King-level peerless experts in three years, Qin Shilei's most important objective now was to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible.
