The Peerless Emperor

Lin Qian's words left everyone speechless for a good while.

To rule the entire Trial Land? Dictate the rankings of all hundred thousand positions?

What a joke, even the Overlord Alliance, with its formidable strength, only managed to monopolize about the top twenty rankings. Control beyond that was out of their hands.

Having the authority to control the rankings of the top hundred thousand positions was much more difficult than simply securing the top twenty.

Moreover, Lin Qian had just mentioned controlling the entire Trial Land, which seemed impossible.

Even if their strength was profound, a crucial point was that they were far too short on manpower.

"Your Majesty, the idea is good, but isn't the difficulty of implementing it too great?" After recovering from the shock, Kuang Zhan spoke to Lin Qian, "To control the entire Trial Land, is it even possible? Besides, dictating the rankings of all hundred thousand positions, the difficulty is surely too great."

"After all, they are hundred thousand ranking positions, not just ten. Although we have the willingness, it doesn't mean others will comply." Swallowing, Kuang Zhan continued slowly after hearing Lin Qian's words.

On the other hand, Lan Yunfeng was nodding in agreement. Achieving what Lin Qian proposed was indeed incredibly difficult.

"Dominating the entire Trial Land isn't as difficult as it seems. All we need to do is to capture every city within the Trial Land, preventing them from using the cities as strongholds," Lin Qian explained.

"Now that the Third Level of the trial has begun, you all know what's happening outside, don't you?"

Lin Qian's words made everyone think about the situation in the Trial Land since the announcement of the Third Level.

The Soul Soldiers and Soul Beasts, as per the rules, could indeed be seen running around in the Trial Land, but their numbers were terrifyingly high. Wherever one looked, there were Soul Beasts and Soul Soldiers galloping about.

Also, these Soul Beasts and Soldiers seemed as if they could not be completely wiped out. Often, after being slain, they would reappear before them, attacking with reckless abandon.

Only near the cities would they not approach.

If they were outside in the wilderness of the Trial Land, where there were no cities, they would fight fiercely and tirelessly.

It was then that everyone shockingly realized that the Soul Beasts and Soldiers wandering the Trial Land were all condensed from Soul Energy. Once killed, they would re-form, making them impossible to exterminate completely.

Even the strongest would be run ragged under such ceaseless attacks, so seeking refuge in the cities was the best way to catch one's breath.

Otherwise, getting close to a city for sanctuary was the next best option. However, those guarding the cities might also attack those outside.

"As long as we control all the cities of the Trial Land, other trialists won't be able to breach our defences or enter. They would have to face the endless Soul Soldiers and Beasts in the wilderness, and then they will seek our help."

"At that time, our authority will be strong enough. Dictating the top hundred thousand rankings, why would that be impossible?"

Lin Qian's words sounded indeed very appealing, but Kuang Zhan and Lan Yunfeng continued to slowly shake their heads.

Impenetrable cities, how could that be? Let's not mention those from the Overlord Alliance; even ordinary trialists would surely be able to break through the city's Array defenses.

Perhaps those with insufficient strength in lower realms can't accomplish this, but a Trialists capable of entering the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, especially those ranked within the top one hundred thousand, naturally have the strength to do so.

"Son-in-law, if we want to defend all the cities, I'm afraid we are far from having enough manpower," after pondering for a moment, Lan Yunfeng voiced his concern, "I fear that this is the most critical factor limiting our actions."

"However, since you raised this question, son-in-law, perhaps you have a method to resolve the defense issues of the cities?" At this time, Lan Yunfeng asked incredulously, quietly waiting for Lin Qian's response.

In fact, Lan Yunfeng was already surprised by the news that Lin Qian had conquered a thousand cities.

They should consider that the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan had only conquered ninety-eight cities in the past year.

The sheer number of cities was already a miracle.

The improved Cultivation Technique of their clan in the vastness of the starry sky, likewise, was a miracle, as was the replenishing of the Fierce Hunting Clan's bloodline.

At this moment, in Lan Yunfeng's heart, Lin Qian was simply a man who created miracles.

Therefore, although Lan Yunfeng had asked the question, he was willing to believe that this time the other party might create another miracle.

"The reason we can breach the Arrays is that these cities' Arrays are too weak and full of flaws," Lin Qian tapped lightly on the table and spoke with confidence, "But this is within reason; the Array is meant for trials, and if it were too strong, it would not be a trial but a hardship instead."

"After all, the rules don't say we can't modify the Arrays, do they? We'll just conquer a city, completely overhaul its Array to make it difficult to breach. Isn't that simple?"

"We are located on the southern side of the Trial Land. We'll keep pushing forward from the south, making it like a conquest of cities and an expansion of territory, extending the borders of our influence, and gradually devouring the cities of this Trial Land."

"Once the cities in this Trial Land have been completely dominated by us, then everything will be under our control."

Meanwhile, as Lin Qian was speaking these words, in the central high skies of the Trial Land, within the palace, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze towards Xu Siyuan.

Inside the palace, Xu Siyuan's white beard trembled: "This kid, he dares to say my Arrays have too many flaws?"

"Good lad, really a good lad," saying this, Xu Siyuan waved his hands, continuously controlling the Array.

At the same time, the Arrays of the cities throughout the Trial Land had already been completely restructured and enhanced by Xu Siyuan. Although there were no changes in the defensive strength and such, structurally, they were now as solid as a rock.

Originally, for the sake of convenience in modifying the Arrays at the end of the trial, Xu Siyuan had not made them too meticulous in structure.

Now, Lin Qian's words had provoked him, and Xu Siyuan, no longer concerned with ease of modification, directly locked down the finished structure of the Arrays.

After the trial ended, the Arrays would need to be broken one by one by his own hand to be lifted.

"Even if it exhausts me to death later on, I won't let this kid get his way. Modifying the Array, I really want to see how you're going to modify it now!" As he said this, Xu Siyuan was quite pleased with himself, thinking he had created a huge problem for Lin Qian.

He could hardly wait to see the regret on Lin Qian's face when he attempted to modify the Array.
