140: Xu Jia Yousheng

A verdant branch extended, striking forward in an instant.

The power of the Saint Dao surged, like a world-ending divine light, instantly piercing through the heavens and earth, striking fiercely at the chests of the five Half-Saints of the Liu Family with an Aura of destroying everything.

Hiss!

The five trembled, their chests instantly pierced. The force, undiminished, descended from the sky and slammed into an ancient mountain range. The hundred-thousand-mile mountain range collapsed, and countless living beings within it perished.

“Sa…Saint!”

After uttering these words with difficulty, Liu Nantian's eyes rolled back, and he fell downwards. The other four Half-Saints didn't even have a chance to speak before their life force was extinguished.

Within the heavens and earth, the verdant branch surged with a powerful Aura. The terrifying power of the Saint Dao spread limitlessly, dominating billions of mountains and rivers.

Countless Martial Artists watched this scene, trembling in fear.

The Xu Family has a Saint!

Everyone who witnessed this scene found their hearts unable to calm for a long time.

Millions of years later, the pattern of the Zhengyuan Territory would finally be broken, and an independent Saint Family, not belonging to the Zhengyuan Holy Palace, had emerged.

Furthermore, he confronted the Liu Family, also a Saint Family, with extremely forceful methods. Now that the Xu Family's Saint had acted, it was unknown whether the Liu Family's Saint would make a move.

If he did, then they would witness a Saint battle that would be recorded in history.

“Within the Zhengyuan Territory, no matter which Dao lineage, if you are displeased with my Xuanhuang Xu Family, feel free to challenge us. My Xu Family will take on all challenges.”

An incomparably domineering voice resounded across billions of miles, shaking the hearts of countless powerful individuals.

As the voice fell, the verdant branch coiled around the five corpses of the Liu Family's Half-Saints and vanished into the Void Realm.

Wang Changfeng and the other deeply scanned the many ancient existences before disappearing from the battlefield!

The many ancient existences watched this scene, remaining silent for a long time, then withdrew their Divine Thought with complex emotions.

The Liu Family!

The Liu Family's high-ranking members were silent.

“Bang!”

“The Xu Family!”

After a long time, Liu Yangsheng furiously smashed a chair made of top-grade divine materials, his eyes filled with raging anger.

The demise of five Half-Saint powerhouses greatly reduced the Liu Family's strength. Even families like the Tang Family and the Yan Family had surpassed their Liu Family. Now, without considering its Saint, the Liu Family was already at the bottom among the eight families.

Liu Yangsheng simply could not accept such a situation, because once the Ancient Ancestor awakened, he would surely be held accountable.

“Clan Chief, a small impatience will ruin a great plan! The Xu Family has a Saint; this is an undeniable fact. Right now, the Ancient Ancestor is still in seclusion, so we can only temporarily avoid their sharp edge!”

“That’s right, Clan Chief! The best course of action now is to recall our clansmen and await the Ancient Ancestor’s emergence from seclusion!”

The Liu Family's Half-Saints all spoke out.

They truly did not want to die. Although Half-Saints had the word “Saint” in their title, facing a Saint was entirely a suicidal act, and they did not want the Clan Chief to continue his madness.

If not for Liu Yangsheng's position as Clan Chief being personally appointed by the Ancient Ancestor, and the fact that he was a seasoned Half-Saint with the potential to reach the Saint Realm, they would have already rebelled.

After all, the impact of this incident was too great. One-third of the Liu Family's Half-Saints had perished, including the Peak Half-Saint Liu Nantian.

He was one of the only two Peak Half-Saints in the Family, and his demise was a huge loss for the Liu Family.

Liu Yangsheng felt extremely unwilling, but facing the Family's Half-Saint Old Ancestors, he could not act unilaterally and could only give up.

“Xu Family! Just you wait. The day the Ancient Ancestor emerges from seclusion will be the day the Xu Family perishes.”

Liu Yangsheng suppressed his anger, hissing in a low voice.

The Sun Family!

The Sun Family Head once again increased the resource allocation to Sun Jingming's lineage, raising the Cultivation resources for Sun Jingming's lineage within three days, which drew the attention of the Sun Family Elders.

However, the Sun Family Head did not offer an explanation. Instead, he brought out a Saint Weapon from the ancestral land, using its power to erase all traces.

At the same time, he also prepared generous gifts, intending to send a Family Elder to the Xu Family to apologize.

The other six Saint Families were also preparing gifts to visit the Xu Family.

The reason for this was twofold: first, the Xu Family had a Saint; second, apart from the Sheng Family's Saint, the Saints of each Family were all in seclusion.

Millions of years ago, the eight Saints had obtained an Opportunity at Xuanming Lake. Since then, for millions of years, the eight Saints had been in seclusion and had not appeared in the world.

Therefore, at this time, several major families did not dare to offend the Xu Family. Besides, apart from the Sun and Liu Families, the other Saint Families had no animosity with the Xu Family, so they naturally wanted to strengthen their relationship.

Aside from the Saint Families, other forces also made similar plans.

Xu Qing did not know how the various forces in the Zhengyuan Territory would act. Under his instructions, Hai Dagui sent the Star Guardian to the Tianguan Realm to select suitable warriors from the mortal dynasties.

He, on the other hand, used the Myriad Spirits Altar to sacrifice and obtain corresponding Cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that this Origin Cultivation could also be combined for sacrifice, which gave Xu Qing a lot of room for utilization.

After a series of sacrifices, Xu Qing ultimately obtained ninety thousand Divine Venerable Cultivation. The remaining seventy thousand-plus Blood Refinement Divine Army corpses, after multiple sacrifices, eventually yielded four hundred twenty-three paths of Early Stage Royal Sealing Cultivation.

In addition, there were one thousand three hundred sixty-three paths of Royal Sealing Realm Cultivation of various Ranks, five hundred seventeen Mystic Sovereigns, two hundred forty-three Heavenly Sovereigns, and forty-three God-Emperors.

For the one hundred thousand Star Guardians, he only needed one thousand Sovereigns to be captains of a hundred, two hundred Mystic Sovereigns to be captains of five hundred, one hundred Heavenly Sovereigns to be captains of a thousand, and ten God-Emperor captains of ten thousand!

The ten captains of ten thousand would be the Ten Great Enforcement Heavenly Generals, namely Zhu Yuan and the others, thus saving the God-Emperor Cultivation.

Upon receiving the Cultivation, Hai Dagui immediately promoted the original hundred commanders to the position of thousand-man captains, raising their Cultivation to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. He then selected one thousand two hundred people from them to serve as captains of five hundred and captains of a hundred, respectively.

The remaining Cultivation was partly given to Hai Dagui, partly to Wang Changfeng, and the rest to Xu Ming, to reward those who had rendered meritorious service.

During this period, Xu Qing also obtained five shares of Half-Saint Cultivation, which he gave to the five Hall Masters: Xu Jie, Xu Lin of Scripture Depository Hall, Xu Bai of Treasure Depository Hall, Xu Qiao, and Xu Song.

Cultivating to the Royal Realm was already their limit, including the masters of the six Xu Family lineages and the various vice Hall Masters. To advance further, they could only use identity cards.

However, Second Uncle Xu Liang, after nearly three years of Cultivating in the Ancient Time Land, finally took that step, mastering the Law of order. His Cultivation was now advancing by leaps and bounds, already at the Middle Stage Heavenly Sovereign.

Furthermore, the Cultivation of Profound Darkness Two Elders was already nearing the God-Emperor Realm, just one step away from Breakthrough.

Xu Qing was also in the same situation. To cope with the circumstances, he had not Cultivated properly during this period. Now, it was time for a Breakthrough.

Breaking through to the God-Emperor Realm involved two steps: the first was to condense the God-Emperor will with essence, Qi, and spirit; the second was to imprint the God-Emperor will upon all heavens.

Essence, Qi, and spirit refer to the power of vital blood for essence, Divine Power for Qi, and Divine Soul power for spirit.

Condensing the God-Emperor will means refining the three into Innate essence, Innate Qi, and Innate spirit, then condensing the three into an Innate Dharma Body that carries the Mandate of Heaven. This is the God-Emperor will.

This process could take as short as a few months or as long as hundreds of thousands of years.

It entirely depended on the Martial Artist's own Physique, because ordinary Martial Artists, from birth, were affected by various Acquired turbid Qi, and their essence, Qi, and spirit were already defiled. Therefore, condensing the Innate Dharma Body was extremely difficult, even requiring the use of various treasures.

However, for Martial Artists with Physiques above the Innate Royal Body, this step of condensation was very fast. Although they were more or less contaminated by Acquired Qi, the Innate Qi inherent in their Physique continuously helped to remove the Acquired turbid Qi during the Cultivation process, so the Breakthrough was very quick.

And Xu Qing possessed the Chaos Dao Body, which was the number one Dao Body in all realms, making the speed of condensation even faster!

Within a month, he had condensed his Innate Dharma Body. The next step was to imprint it upon all heavens.
