491: Three ways to advance

It took Audin a while to catch his breath.

He checked himself again, still finding nothing, but a bad feeling lingered in his heart.

"Did Qin An King do something to my clone?"

Audin muttered under his breath.

However, his clone had already completely merged with him, making it impossible for him to check its condition again.

Feeling a bit annoyed, Audin decided to take a walk around his Divine Kingdom.

But he had barely taken two steps when he stumbled, almost falling.

Just as he regained his balance, a sticky blob suddenly fell from the sky, somehow evading his perception, and landed on his forehead.

Audin reached up and touched it, only to find it was bird droppings.

"Damn stinking bird."

Furious, Audin pointed a finger and instantly blasted the bird that had just flown over his head into a mist of blood.

Extremely displeased by the bird droppings, Audin turned to go back to his Divine Temple and play some fun games with his women.

But then, his Divine Kingdom suddenly began to shake.

Audin sensed it briefly and discovered a Void Beast was attacking his Divine Kingdom.

"How unlucky. A Void Beast, a rare sight in a century, actually discovered my Divine Kingdom."

Audin cursed under his breath, having no choice but to leave his Divine Kingdom and expend a great deal of effort to drive the Void Beast away.

In the following days, Audin's luck took a turn for the worse.

Although it didn't cost him his life, it left him utterly flustered and in a terrible mood.

Qin Shi Lei was unaware of all this, otherwise he would have given the system a huge thumbs-up.

He was currently busy using the Mountain and Rivers Map to search the Qin An Royal Mansion's sphere of influence for any remaining followers sent by Audin.

Two days later, in the backyard of the Qin An Royal Mansion.

Qin Shi Lei was carefully brushing seasoning onto the mutated goat on the spit.

The rich aroma filled the entire backyard, making Qin Shi Lei's mouth water.

Just then, Kong Qingshu and the two other women walked in from outside.

"You're back! Go wash your hands quickly; tonight we're having a barbecue."

Qin Shi Lei greeted the three women while rotating the mutated goat on the spit.

"Oh, you! Your barbecue skills are so good, yet you were lazy before and never showed them to us."

An Qian said with a playful reproach.

Smelling the fragrant aroma and seeing the golden, crispy lamb skin, she knew this barbecue technique surpassed many barbecue masters.

"Haha," Qin Shi Lei chuckled, saying, "My skill really wasn't good before. It’s just that a while ago, I happened to learn a few tricks from a master chef, and now I wanted to serve you all."

"Ugh... ugh."

Kong Qingshu suddenly bent over, dry heaving, then turned and ran out quickly.

"No way," Qin Shi Lei said with a bitter expression, "Is it the taste of what I grilled, or was there something wrong with what I said?"

But no sooner had he spoken than Zhang Xiaoli also began to dry heave, hastily turning and running out.

"This smells quite good, and I specifically removed the gamey odor. Is something wrong?"

Qin Shi Lei put his nose close to the roasted whole lamb and sniffed; besides the aroma, there was nothing wrong.

An Qian looked at her two sisters who had walked out, deep in thought. "Could it be that they are pregnant?"

"Pregnant with what?" Qin Shi Lei said belatedly, "Could it be...?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He got up and chased after the two women, not even caring about the mutated goat still roasting.

An Qian casually put the roasted whole lamb into her space ring and also turned to chase after them.

Finally, after Su Xiaoxuan's diagnosis, Kong Qingshu and Zhang Xiaoli were indeed pregnant.

"How did you get pregnant? Can you tell me in detail?"

Su Xiaoxuan's eyes were filled with curiosity.

She had been conditioning Qin Shi Lei and the women for more than half a year, but the three women's bellies showed no signs of movement.

Unexpectedly, after they gave up on treatment, they suddenly became pregnant.

As a divine doctor, she really yearned to solve the problem of it becoming harder to conceive the higher one's strength.

Qin Shi Lei, however, paid no attention to Su Xiaoxuan's curiosity. He was currently lying on Kong Qingshu's belly, carefully sensing the small life gestating within.

"Qin Dage, although we're pregnant, it's not even a month yet. What can you hear?"

Zhang Xiaoli teased, but she also extended her right hand to gently caress her own belly.

"I didn't know you were pregnant, so I didn't notice a small life in your belly. But now I can feel our baby slowly growing."

Qin Shi Lei then walked over to Zhang Xiaoli, bent down, and pressed his ear to her belly.

"Shi Lei is right. As long as we sense carefully, we can indeed find a small life gestating in both your bellies."

An Qian, standing nearby, interjected, a flicker of envy and loss passing through her eyes.

"Sister An Qian, you will definitely get pregnant too. From today onwards, Qin Dage is yours. Enjoy your time as a couple."

Kong Qingshu noticed An Qian's hint of loss and pointed at Qin Shi Lei, comforting An Qian.

"You're pregnant, so he should be spending time with you. I'm fine." An Qian smiled, feigning nonchalance.

"I'll accompany all three of you, An Qian. You don't need to worry. Who knows, a surprise might come next month."

Qin Shi Lei hugged An Qian, comforting her.

Indeed, the following month, An Qian also became pregnant as desired.

Qin Shi Lei's cultivation also reached the Diamond peak at this time.

The requirements for advancing to the Master Realm were also communicated by the system.

There are three methods to advance to the Master Realm:

The first method is to develop followers, ignite a divine flame with the power of faith, and then use the divine flame to open a Divine Kingdom. Once the Divine Kingdom is established, one enters the Master Realm.

The second method is to find a spatial treasure with life characteristics, refine this treasure to serve as the foundation of one's small world, and then expand and strengthen this space with various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Upon reaching a certain level, one naturally advances to the Master Realm.

The third method is to use powerful strength to forcefully open up a world within one's Sea of Consciousness. Once this world grows to a certain extent, one also becomes a Master Realm powerhouse.

Although the system provided three methods, it did not give specific secret techniques or explanations.

Qin Shi Lei actually had a foundation to attempt all three methods.

As the first person on Blue Star and the ruler of Daxia, it was not difficult to make the survivors believe in him.

However, how to ignite the divine flame and how to use the divine flame to open a Divine Kingdom remained unknown.

As for the spatial treasure in the second method, he already possessed one at this time.

The Mountain and Rivers Map was not only suitable but could also continue to evolve by fusing with mountain spirits, making it an excellent choice.

Qin Shi Lei, however, did not choose the first two methods.

Because he already had a space within his body that could nurture all things—the Blessed Land.

With the Blessed Land, Qin Shi Lei believed that he fully met the requirements for the third method of advancement.

As for why his cultivation was still stuck at the Diamond peak, he needed to thoroughly understand this Blessed Land.
