124: The March deadline is approaching, and the Xu family's strength

Two days later, Qi Wude rushed out of the ancient cave, beaming with joy, and then the ancient cave behind him collapsed with a roar.

"I didn't expect this ancient cave was used to Seal a few God-Emperor Realm Nether Race whelps; no wonder there was such a dense Death Qi."

"Perfect! Their Death Qi nurtured many Heaven And Earth Treasures. This time, I have an explanation!"

Qi Wude, beaming with joy, headed to the next location.

As the Xu Family collectively entered Cultivation, the Tianguan Realm experienced a rare period of calm.

However, upon learning that the Xu Family was leaving the Tianguan Realm, those forces that had feigned surrender felt emboldened again and secretly began to provoke the Xu Family.

But after the Profound Yellow Prefectures in various places forcefully annihilated the local major forces that caused trouble, these actions once again ceased.

Who would have thought that the strength of the Prefecture Chiefs and Vice Prefecture Chiefs of the Profound Yellow Prefectures in various places would suddenly surge so much?

At the same time, news suddenly spread from the four hundred territories in the south that the ominous signs in various large and small forbidden areas were disappearing, showing signs of the forbidden areas returning to reality.

Along with this, news spread of a scrawny old man frequently appearing in the forbidden areas, and each time he appeared, a forbidden area would disappear.

Just one month later, the individual appeared again in the eastern territories, and the accompanying news was that forbidden areas were disappearing.

No. 1 Zhenguan City!

"What exactly is the Xu Family? Leaving aside other things, that Nine-Bend Forbidden Area was the former home of the Nine-Bend Sect, and three God-Emperor Realm Nether Race powerhouses were Sealed within it. The disappearance of the forbidden area means their demise." Tang Yuan frowned.

Yan Zicheng, however, smiled and said, "My Lord, no matter what the Xu Family is, their actions alone are benefiting this Fourth Heavenly Pass Realm. In just one month, they have dealt with three Divine Emperors and more than ten Heavenly Emperors, significantly reducing the pressure on our Zhenguan City."

"Indeed!" Tang Yuan smiled, a complex look in his eyes.

The Zhengyuan Holy Palace cannot clear out Saint-level Nether Race, but it can clear out Emperor Realm ones. So why hasn't it done so for millions of years?

The reason is simple: how could the high and mighty Holy Palace care about ants?

"However, whether the Xu Family can survive this tribulation depends on their strength!"

Cultivation knows no time, and in the blink of an eye, only three days remained of the three-month period.

Xu Qing also awoke from his seclusion.

In two years, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds; he had already Cultivated to Heavenly Emperor Perfection.

On the third day of entering the Ancient Time Land, he evolved his Divine Venerable Domain into a myriad-mile Lesser World, and then forcefully passed the Imperial Dao Great Tribulation, which was sufficient to kill a Heavenly Emperor.

Upon Breakthrough, he stepped directly into Royal Sealing Perfection, and then spent twenty-five thousand to exchange for Mystic Sovereign Perfection Cultivation.

Over the next six months, he successively comprehended the Laws of Chaos, Yin and Yang, Destruction, Life, and Wind, reaching Perfection. Including the original Five Elements, Myriad Thunder, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Laws, all twelve Laws that formed his Divine Venerable Domain had evolved into Laws.

And in the following year, he successively imprinted the twelve Laws onto the Lesser World. Furthermore, the Space Law was also imprinted onto his Lesser World.

The Heavenly Emperor Realm is very mysterious and extremely important.

Imprinting Laws onto the Lesser World has fewer restrictions; as long as one can comprehend them, it doesn't matter how many Laws are imprinted.

And the more Laws imprinted, the more stable the Lesser World becomes, and the Martial Artist's strength grows stronger.

Of course, with each Law imprinted, the resistance from heaven and earth increases, and the difficulty of condensing the God Emperor imprint greatly increases.

It was once recorded that an ancient Prodigy, in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, imprinted forty-one Laws onto his Lesser World. The final result was that the Prodigy was unable to condense the God Emperor imprint and ultimately had to retire with regret.

But it must be said that his strength was unsurpassed, earning him the title of the number one Heavenly Emperor of that era. He could, at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, defeat seven God Emperors, one of whom was a top God Emperor.

Of course, the history of the Eternal Continent is extremely long, with countless peerless Prodigies and True Kings emerging, and among them, there are also successful examples.

Now, if Xu Qing wanted to Breakthrough, it would just be a matter of a final push. But if he chose to Breakthrough, he would no longer be able to imprint Laws onto his Lesser World.

But in that case, he would lose the qualification to contend with those Peerless True Kings.

Genius is divided into nine levels: ordinary Prodigy, top Prodigy, ordinary Prodigy, top Prodigy, peerless Prodigy, young True King, peerless True King, and Peerless True King.

Only those who can imprint eighteen or more Laws at the Heavenly Emperor level can be called a Prodigy. To become a True King-level Genius, one must imprint at least twenty-seven or more, while a Peerless True King requires forty-five or more.

For the remaining six months, he did not Cultivate Laws but instead Cultivated the Eight Nine Arcane Art, bringing it to Three Revolutions Perfection, giving him a body comparable to a Half-Step Saint.

In terms of overall strength, Xu Qing might not be invincible among God Emperors, but few in this Realm could kill him.

In two years, the changes in Xu Yuan and the others' strength: Xu Yuan's Realm was lower than Xu Qing's, at Heavenly Emperor Middle Stage.

However, he had already successfully imprinted three Laws. The reason for his slow Cultivation was his comprehension of Supreme Sword Dao and his control over the power of the Sacred Eye.

Second Uncle Xu Liang and the other Hall Master-level higher-ups, with the help of the Imperial-level Myriad Spirit Blood Pool and numerous treasures, broke through to Royal Sealing. The highest achievers among them were not the Second Uncle but Profound Darkness Two Elders.

Upon reaching the Imperial level, the Mystic Dark Grand Art truly showed its power. This Cultivation Technique directly leads to the Origin of Water, and with the blessings of various Xu Family treasures, the two were the first among the Hall Master-level to Breakthrough to the Mystic Sovereign Realm and possessed the most Laws among the Hall Master-level.

The two grasped eight Daos and their Cultivation was Mystic Sovereign Perfection, making them the two closest to Heavenly Emperor among the Hall Master-level higher-ups.

Additionally, Second Uncle was the third among the Hall Master-level to Breakthrough to Mystic Sovereign, grasping four Daos. Unfortunately, the Law of Order, which he primarily Cultivated, had yet to be comprehended.

All available resources were given, and for Laws like Order, Heaven And Earth Treasures are rare, so one can only rely on personal comprehension. Therefore, Xu Qing could offer him very little help.

Compared to the Human Race, the Spirit Beast Hall achieved the most.

Even Dark Moon, who often slacked off, broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. He didn't even need to comprehend much; upon Breakthrough, he immediately grasped the Dark Law. This came from his unique Bloodline talent.

The Dark Moon Tiger Clan are natural controllers of the Origin of Darkness. The Dao marks of the Origin of Darkness are engraved in their Bloodline, so pure-blooded members of the Dark Moon Tiger Clan can grasp the power belonging to that level with each Breakthrough in their Life level.

This was not only true for Dark Moon Tiger but also for Yun Qian, Luan Ruxue, and all other Yao Beasts.

After two years of Cultivation, Luan Ruxue broke through to the God-Emperor Realm in one fell swoop, and with the aid of resources, quickly pushed her Cultivation to God-Emperor Perfection. Coupled with her special Bloodline and Divine Ability, her combat power was definitely at the peak God Emperor level.

However, Yun Qian's gains were the greatest among everyone. After perfectly absorbing a drop of Small Saint essence blood, his Cultivation not only surged to the God-Emperor Perfection level, but he also obtained one of the Dragon Clan's Supreme secret arts, the Divine Dragon Secret Canon.

This Secret Canon was comprehended by a Dragon Clan Emperor from the Great Dragon Phase Art. It is a Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Emperor Realm, and Yun Qian had been Cultivating this Cultivation Technique for the past few months.

Currently, in terms of combat power, he had already reached the Realm of a Supreme God Emperor.

In addition, ten Elders of the Azure Luan Clan broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, and thirty Protectors also broke through to the Mystic Sovereign Realm. All their Clan members were at the Imperial Realm.

The Clan Chiefs of the Ten Great Venerable Beast groups, as well as the Half-Step Imperial Clan Elders, all broke through to the Imperial Realm.

After two years of aggressively pouring in resources, the Xu Family finally gained the power to protect itself in the Zhengyuan Holy Domain.

He not only possessed numerous Imperial Realm combatants but also Saint Realm combatants.

Firstly, there was the Taiji Hall, a Saint Weapon, as well as the Hun Yuan Seal and the heaven and earth fortune cauldron. These three were his trump cards that he could activate to unleash Saint Realm power. Secondly, there was the Innate Firmiana Simplex and the Family's grand formation.

With such means, even if they couldn't contend with a true Saint force, they would still be unable to breach the Xu Family's ancestral land.
