314: Chapter 314 Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul

However, in Feilong Prefecture, there was only the 'Xuan' unit among the four armies of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

Fortunately, Zhang Wentian was quite sensible and had already ordered the other three armies to surrender and wait for the Fierce Tiger Army to take over.

Consequently, Chen Hu directly purchased six military generals from the System Mall.

Each led an army of ten thousand to take over the other three armies.

Mingjian Villa.

Backyard.

Qin Shuangyu looked at Zhao Li, who was kneeling before her, with a face as cold as frost; the affection she once held for him was gone from her eyes.

This was because the news of Chen Hu accepting the abdication of Emperor Jingren had already reached Lingzhou.

She knew there was a possibility that Chen Hu could become emperor, but she never expected him to ascend the throne so quickly.

Moreover, Chen Hu himself was a Hunyuan Martial Saint.

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Qin Shuangyu nearly fainted from anger.

Afterwards, she summoned Zhao Li before her to kneel as punishment.

She had explicitly and repeatedly instructed him to try his best to please Chen Hu, yet this son of hers was so incompetent that he had offended Chen Hu directly.

If Chen Hu had accepted Zhao Li as his younger brother, she and her husband could have seized the opportunity to mend their relationship with Chen Hu.

At that time, Mingjian Villa could have soared to new heights with Chen Hu's help, and her Qin Family could have risen again.

Furthermore, Chen Hu was now a Hunyuan Martial Saint; as long as he was willing to provide guidance and assistance, her husband, her father-in-law, and even she and her brother could potentially enter the Liangang Realm.

"Unfilial son!"

The more Qin Shuangyu thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally, she lashed out at Zhao Li with a whip.

Zhao Li hung his head, feeling deep regret in his heart.

Arrogant as he was, he understood that reaching the Blood Refining Realm would be the pinnacle of his life.

The gap between him and the Hunyuan Martial Saint, Chen Hu, was simply too vast.

If he had been willing to humble himself before, he might have been able to stay by Chen Hu's side.

With the status of his own younger brother, after Chen Hu became emperor, wouldn't he at least have been appointed as a third-rank official?

Even if he wasn't granted a princely title, he should have at least been enfeoffed as a marquis or a duke, right?

Thinking of this, he wished he could slap himself.

On the other side, Chen Hu had already returned to the imperial palace.

He had also brought Liu Xiangyue, Nangong Hongyan, and the other women to the imperial palace.

As for Luo Ningshuang, she did not come to the imperial palace but went to the Martial Suppression Headquarters instead.

Chen Hu intended to reorganize the Martial Suppression Headquarters into the Brocade Guard.

As for Director General Zhuge Rongrong, Chen Hu had asked her if she was willing to stay in the Brocade Guard, and she had agreed.

Chen Hu then appointed her as the Deputy Commander of the Brocade Guard, mainly to assist Luo Ningshuang.

Regarding this, Director General Zhuge Rongrong not only had no objections but was actually very pleased.

As long as she performed well and received guidance from Chen Hu, she might also be able to ascend to the Hunyuan Martial Saint realm.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The growth in the number of underlings exceeded Chen Hu's expectations.

Before midnight, the number of underlings had already surpassed 300 million, reaching 332 million.

He estimated that by midnight, the number of underlings should reach 400 million.

In other words, when the underling points refreshed tonight, he would have enough to gather 500 million and condense the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

At this moment, a garden in the imperial palace was brightly lit. The air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Several tables were set up in the Imperial Garden. The women were gathered together playing mahjong and poker.

Princess Anping, Liu Xiangyue, Nangong Hongyan, and Dongfang Jun were at one table playing mahjong.

Chen Hu was standing behind Princess Anping, watching the game.

"Brother-in-law, have some skewers!"

At this moment, Liu Xianglan brought over a few beef skewers and handed them to Chen Hu.

"Thank you!" Chen Hu took the skewers and began to eat. The ingredients were all exotic beast meat, and combined with Liu Xianglan's practiced skills, the taste was quite excellent.

"How does it taste?" Liu Xianglan asked nervously.

"Very good!" Chen Hu nodded in approval.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xianglan was overjoyed: "Then Brother-in-law, please eat more, I'll go get you some!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Chen Hu laughed.

"Wow, you all are really living it up!" A voice rang out; it was Luo Ningshuang who had arrived.

She was wearing the uniform of a Brocade Guard Commander, looking full of heroic spirit, with Sun Lingyue following behind her.

"You've worked hard, try the beef skewers Xianglan grilled!" Chen Hu divided the skewers in his hand, giving two each to Luo Ningshuang and Sun Lingyue.

"Mmm, Sister Xianglan's skills have improved; delicious!" The two women were not polite either, picking up the skewers and digging in; it seemed they were truly hungry.

After the barbecue feast ended, it was already midnight.

Chen Hu went to Princess Anping's bedchamber to rest.

When the time reached midnight, the sleeping Chen Hu suddenly opened his eyes.

After putting on his clothes, he went directly to the Imperial Study.

With a thought, the System interface appeared.

Seeing that the number of underlings had grown to 438 million, a look of immense surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

And the underling points had reached 539 million.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Hu directly purchased a Spirit Treasure of Heaven and Earth worth 200 million underling points.

He then ordered the System to raise his cultivation to the first level of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

300 million underling points were directly deducted, leaving a little over 39 million.

Next, Chen Hu discovered that his Nine-Turn Golden Core had shattered directly, and the Spirit Treasure of Heaven and Earth worth 200 million flew directly into his body.

Then, with this Spirit Treasure of Heaven and Earth as the core, the energy of the shattered Golden Core rapidly reorganized, transforming into a Nascent Soul.

The newly condensed Nascent Soul was not large, only the size of a palm, but it radiated a sense of Heavenly Dao rhythm. As the rhythm circulated, it added a sacred aura to the Nascent Soul.

At the same time, the magic power within the Nascent Soul was more than a hundred times stronger than the magic power of the Nine-Turn Golden Core.

With his current strength, even without using Magic Treasures or Spells, just a single strand of magic power could kill his former self instantly.

"Too strong!" Chen Hu exclaimed.

With a thought, Chen Hu asked: "System, how many underling points are needed to upgrade to the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm?"

The System directly poured the information into his mind.

Each level of the Nascent Soul Realm only required 30 million underling points to upgrade.

In other words, to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he only needed 240 million underling points.

Once the underling points refreshed tomorrow, he would be able to reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"With the strength of my Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it should be no problem to deal with an average Incarnation Realm expert, right?" Chen Hu thought to himself.

Looking at the remaining 39 million underling points, Chen Hu did not intend to purchase Spells for the Nascent Soul Realm immediately.

He would wait until he broke through to the Dao Integration Realm to purchase them together.

The next moment, Chen Hu took out the good luck card. He silently recited to activate it.

Obtained five times good luck.

Then, he activated all the other cards at once.

Only three cards remained: one treasure hunting card, one Lifespan card, and one intelligence card.

The next moment, Chen Hu took a step forward and vanished from the Imperial Study.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

He took out the treasure hunting card and silently recited to activate it. Immediately, a new treasure hunting point appeared.

The treasure hunting point was within the city; he swept it with his Divine Sense and discovered the specific situation of the Treasure Trove.

In a flash, he stepped inside that Treasure Trove.

The Great Xia Kingdom had only been founded for over 100 years. Moreover, this capital city was also from the previous Dynasty.

For instance, the Treasure Trove he discovered was left behind by the imperial family of the previous Dynasty.

Just the gold and silver jewelry alone amounted to over 200 million.

There were also quite a few weapons and armors, but they had all decayed.

Besides that, there were Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals, and some well-preserved Spirit Medicine.

After collecting the Treasure Trove, Chen Hu had a thought. He was now in the Nascent Soul Realm with super-strong Divine Sense; he could completely search the entire capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

As Chen Hu expected, there were indeed quite a few Treasure Troves hidden within this capital city.

He did not mind the hard work and collected all these Treasure Troves.

He obtained gold and silver jewelry worth over 5 billion taels of silver.

Adding in other things, his harvest tonight exceeded 10 billion taels of silver.

Originally, he had intended to purchase gold, silver, and grain from the System to pay the salaries of officials and soldiers, but now it seemed there was no need.

Since the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom had given him such a pleasant surprise, Chen Hu decided to also go and search the capitals of the Great Qin and Great Zhou.
