Chapter 1613: The Secret Realm Advances to a Small Thousand World

These Heavenly Court Stronger ones handed over their Secret Realm Tokens one by one, then excitedly used the points they had obtained this time to exchange for the treasures they needed.

For ordinary Kings and Double-Character Kings, this was not much different from pie falling from the sky; they only had to pay some ownerless Secret Realms to gain the possibility of advancing further.

Thus, the most popular items were undoubtedly treasures that assisted in breakthroughs and Divine Beast Essence Blood, which could effectively increase the breakthrough probability of Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng had indeed accumulated quite a lot; the Purple Gold Gourd alone contained many Alchemical Pills for assisting breakthroughs, and even more came from the gains of Supreme Beings such as the Human Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress, Blood Emperor, Xuan Empress, the Qilin Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and even the Dragon Clan.

Besides these, there were also fruits of various Top-Grade Spiritual Roots.

The quantity seemed large, but it was still a case of many monks and little gruel, so Li Zhangsheng naturally raised the contribution required for exchange.

Even so, he felt that it probably wouldn't last long.

After obtaining the first batch of Secret Realm Tokens, Li Zhangsheng casually activated a Secret Realm Token and appeared inside an ownerless Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm had no traces of having been managed by anyone; it was highly likely left behind after its owner was killed, just like the Secret Realms left behind by Stronger ones Li Zhangsheng had killed, such as the Human Emperor and Xuan Emperor, except that Li Zhangsheng possessed a large amount of World Power to fuse them, while others could only keep them in their hands.

Among this first batch of harvested ownerless Secret Realms, this type certainly accounted for the majority.

Unlike previous fusion processes, this time, Li Zhangsheng directly unleashed a great divine ability; a huge black hole emerged, and the entire Desolate Secret Realm shook violently, rushing toward the black hole.

During this process, the Desolate Secret Realm became smaller and smaller, finally flying into the black hole and disappearing.

In the blink of an eye, a black hole appeared above Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm, 'spitting out' this Desolate Secret Realm, which landed on the edge of his Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng expended a small amount of World Power to splice the Desolate Secret Realm onto the edge of his own Secret Realm.

While fusing, Li Zhangsheng activated another Secret Realm Token, using the same method to capture an ownerless Secret Realm for fusion.

By the time he reached the seventh ownerless Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng had to pause this method.

There was no help for it; this Secret Realm was slightly too large, having already reached the standard of a Blessed Land, and with his means of manipulating space, he was not confident in capturing it into his own Secret Realm without keeping the ownerless Secret Realm intact.

Unless Li Zhangsheng practiced the Great Dao of Space, he could only ensure the capture of ordinary Secret Realms for the time being; once it reached the category of a Blessed Land, he could only continue using the previous method.

However, Li Zhangsheng wished that all ownerless Secret Realms were Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

Rumble—

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm appeared above the ownerless Blessed Land, and after expending a certain amount of World Power, the edges of the two began to splice and fuse.

During these three months, coupled with the powerful effect of the Time Delay Forbidden Array, even though Li Zhangsheng set aside a certain amount of time every day to purify the Abyss Consciousness, he still obtained a large amount of World Power.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng began the eighth Secret Realm Token.

It took less than a day for Li Zhangsheng to fuse all of the first batch of over a hundred ownerless Secret Realms.

The smallest of these ownerless Secret Realms were only a few dozen kilometers in radius; this was due to atrophy caused by years of neglect.

The largest was a Secret Realm with a radius of over thirty thousand kilometers, which very likely had once been a Grotto-Heaven, but without an owner and Top-Grade Spiritual Roots to maintain it, it inevitably led to a shrinkage in area.

Just the first batch of ownerless Secret Realms allowed Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm to expand to a radius of over seven hundred thousand kilometers.

With just a few more times, it could reach one million kilometers, at which point the Secret Realm would transform into a Small Thousand World, truly gaining the ability to survive independently in the starry sky.

Li Zhangsheng left the Secret Realm and sought out Zuo Qiulin again.

In less than a day, Zuo Qiulin had collected another hundred or so ownerless Secret Realms, and there were still many people coming to offer them one after another.

Among this group, most were declining King Families; they were the most numerous, and each held one or more ownerless Secret Realms.

Their thinking was very simple: as long as they could exchange for treasures that assisted in breaking through to the Demon King level from Li Zhangsheng, they would have the opportunity to let the family give birth to a King again and restore the family's former glory.

And the newly born King could then open up a Secret Realm; in this back-and-forth, not only would there be no loss, but the family would also have an additional King.

Of course, this was only a possibility; it mainly depended on luck, unless they could exchange for a sufficient quantity of breakthrough-assisting treasures, but that required sufficiently large ownerless Secret Realms.

Besides these declining King Families, there were also some Stronger ones who spent some time quickly tidying up the ownerless Secret Realms their families had managed for years before offering them up, all for the sake of advancing further.

It is certain that this time, whether it be ownerless Secret Realms or items related to the World Tree, it is enough to give birth to a batch of Kings, Double-Character Kings, and perhaps even Emperors in the short term.

This was also a good thing for Li Zhangsheng; with more Stronger ones under his command, there would naturally be more people working for him, not to mention that if nothing unexpected happened, the Fairy World might advance to a Medium Thousand World before long.

This would inevitably lead to a large number of vacancies, the most typical being the Emperor position; once the Fairy World advanced, the number of Emperor positions would certainly no longer be limited to nine, and it was very likely that higher-level Monster Tamer ranks would appear.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng continued to activate the second batch of Secret Realm Tokens.

Time passed slowly, and as one Desolate Secret Realm after another was integrated, the area of Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm continued to expand without interruption.

After three days, Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm finally reached a radius of one million kilometers.

At this moment, the entire Secret Realm shook violently, then turned into a stream of light, beginning to detach from the Fairy World and fall into the sea of stars.

At the same time, the Secret Realm Core also underwent a qualitative change, becoming the same as the Heavenly Dao of the Dawn World, Origin World, and Qiongye World, although compared to the Heavenly Dao of these veteran Small Thousand Worlds, it was undoubtedly much smaller in volume, not to mention the Heavenly Dao of the Fairy World.

This moment also signified that Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm had successfully advanced into a Small Thousand World.

At this moment, the corners of Li Zhangsheng's mouth turned up, and he could not stop the joy in his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Zhangsheng's gaze fell on the Secret Realm Core; he could perceive that the Secret Realm Core was gestating consciousness.

Clearly, this was gestating a Heavenly Dao.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng directly used his Authority to annihilate the Heavenly Dao that was still gestating, leaving only its instinct.

He did not need a conscious Heavenly Dao at all, because it would share his Authority, which was not very favorable to him.

At this time, a cluster of iridescent light suddenly erupted from the core area of the Secret Realm; as in the past, this represented the ability to sublimate a Strange Treasure.

Compared to the previous fifty-thousand-kilometer radius, the significance this time was clearly different; after all, this was a Small Thousand World, a world of the same rank as the Fairy World, which could absolutely sublimate a Strange Treasure to the category of transcending Langhuan Supreme Treasures.
