157: Bei Cang Arrives

Xu Qing stayed in the Ancient Time Land for a month, refining everyone from the thirty-three giant towers.

He obtained seven portions of Great Saint Cultivation, one at Great Saint Late Stage; two at Great Saint Middle Stage; and four at Great Saint Early Stage.

There were seventeen Small Saint portions: two at Small Saint Perfection; five at Small Saint Late Stage; six at Small Saint Middle Stage; and four at Small Saint Early Stage.

There were forty-two Saint portions: eleven at Saint Perfection; ten at Saint Late Stage; thirteen at Saint Middle Stage; and eight at Saint Early Stage.

There were over sixty-three thousand portions of God Emperor Early Stage Cultivation; over thirty thousand portions of God Emperor Middle Stage Cultivation; over sixteen thousand portions of God Emperor Late Stage Cultivation; and over nine thousand portions of God Emperor Perfection Cultivation.

There were over three thousand portions of Peak God Emperor; over one thousand six hundred portions of Peerless God Emperor; over nine hundred portions of Unrivaled God Emperor; seventy-two portions of Supreme God Emperor; and over three hundred portions of Half-Saint.

Aside from the Saint Cultivation, most of the Cultivation below Saint came from the Yao Race. One can imagine how many armies the Yao Race deployed in that battle millions of years ago.

Unfortunately, these fools miscalculated the coordinates. Although all the Saint Realm powerhouses retreated unscathed, the remaining powerhouses suffered greatly, many of whom were suppressed within the black towers.

With so much Cultivation in his hands, Xu Qing naturally needed to make good use of it.

He bestowed Great Saint Cultivation upon seven members of the ten-person group: Xu Ming, Hai Dagui, Zhu Yuan, Zhu Haibo, Deng Changyun, Lan Ningbo, and Lan Yuangang. The only Great Saint Late Stage Cultivation was given to Hai Dagui.

The Small Saint Perfection Cultivation was given to Qian Duoduo and Qin Huan.

The remaining Small Saint Cultivation, eleven portions, were given to Xu Jie, the Hall Master of the Hall of Merit; Xu Lin of Scripture Depository Hall of the Scripture Pavilion; Xu Bai of Treasure Depository Hall of the Treasure Pavilion; Xu Qiao, the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall; Xu Song, the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall; Xu Shu, Master of Tianfu Vein, the Branch Leader of Heavenly Prefecture; Xu Huan, the Branch Leader of Tianliang; Xu Qi, the Branch Leader of Tianji; Xu Bin, the Branch Leader of Tiantong; Xu Pu, the Branch Leader of Tianxiang; and Xu Ku, the Branch Leader of Tianyue.

Four portions of Small Saint Cultivation were given to the Family's Dark Guards.

Of the forty-two Saint Cultivation portions, eight were given to the Protector Heavenly Generals; sixteen to the sixteen Deputy Hall Masters of the Eight Halls; twelve to the twelve core Elders of the current Elder Council; and the remaining six to the Family's Dark Guards.

As for the seventy-two Supreme God Emperor Cultivation portions, they were given to the Elders of various branches and halls.

All one hundred thousand Star Guardians were promoted to God Emperor Cultivation; the centurions became Peak God Emperors; the five-hundred-man leaders became Peerless God Emperors; and the hundred commanders became Half-Saints.

At the same time, the Family's Dark Guards were expanded to one thousand three hundred people. Over the past period, the shortcomings of the Xu Family gradually became apparent. Many clansmen, even with resource support, were limited by their own conditions and could no longer keep up with the Family's pace.

Therefore, expanding the Dark Guards was the first measure implemented by Xu Qing.

The Family's Dark Guards established ten halls, each with a Hall Master. These were the four Small Saints and six Saints mentioned earlier. From then on, they had no names, only codenames, from Dark One to Dark Ten.

Each hall established ten small teams, with thirteen people in each team.

One captain, who was in the Half-Saint Realm; two vice-captains, who were Unrivaled God Emperors; and ten team members, who were Peerless God Emperors.

Six days in the outside world had passed two months in the Ancient Time Land.

Deng Changyun, who was currently outside, and Xu Song and Lan Ningbo, who were far away at Xuanming Lake, received spirit stones through the eternal clan token and successfully made Breakthroughs.

At this moment, Xu Qing received two messages from the Ancient Ancestor of Sheng Family. One was that the Liu Family's ancestral land had been completely sealed off.

Xu Qing did not act hastily. He knew that Liu Yangsheng would definitely employ some tactics, and that would be the time for him to take action.

The other message concerned the movements of the Zhengyang Ancient Sect. This time, the Zhengyang Ancient Sect's army had already left the Qianyuan Holy Domain and entered the territory of the Jinglong Holy Domain. They would reach the Zhengyuan Holy Domain in at most five days.

Xu Qing was completely unconcerned by this. The current Xu Family was no longer the same as it was a few days ago.

Moreover, he did not plan to intervene in this battle. The Zhengyang Ancient Sect had only dispatched one Deputy Sect Master and two Grand Elders, all of whom were in the Saint Realm. It was a perfect opportunity for the Zhengyuan Holy Palace to take action.

At the same time.

Zhengyuan Holy Continent, Zhengyuan Holy Palace.

A mysterious ancient hall was heavily guarded at this moment. Half-Saints, rarely seen on normal days, were now twenty or more, protecting this ancient hall.

"Everyone, we are all in the same boat now. This battle must not only be won, but we must also show our Aura! Anyone who dares to hold me back will be dealt with by this old man!"

Sheng Tian, the Ancient Ancestor of Sheng Family, was an old man with sword-like eyebrows, carrying a sword on his back. He was a renowned Sword Dao Saint in the Five Great Territories.

The moment he spoke, countless Sword Origin powers surged, filling the entire hall. His gaze swept towards a short old man beside him.

"Old man Sheng, I'm not as useless as you make me out to be! They are just a few Saints, and even if they come from the Zhengyang Holy Sect, what of it? How many moves can they withstand under my divine palm?"

Venerable Ancestor Wen said coldly.

He was the one taking action this time, for no other reason than the incident with Dan Hong, which almost caused him to be torn apart by several families.

If he truly hadn't been involved and had shown a sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, he would have been refined long ago.

He had fought for this opportunity to take action. It was merely three Saint Realm cultivators, the strongest being a Saint Late Stage. He could handle them with ease.

"That's for the best!"

The Ancient Ancestor of Sheng Family snorted. Having been inexplicably targeted once, even with his magnanimity, he still harbored Qi. The other Saints felt the same, but out of deference to Venerable Ancestor Wen's Cultivation, they did not show it.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, five days had gone by.

Rumble!

On this day, in the eastern part of the Zhengyuan Holy Domain, a thunderous sound echoed across hundreds of millions of miles.

Thousands of warships, exuding terrifying Aura, instantly appeared above the Void Realm in the eastern part of the Zhengyuan Holy Domain.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying gaze spanned hundreds of millions of miles, looking towards the direction of the Ancient Plate Secret Realm.

Nearly half a month had passed. Fearing protection, the region spanning millions of miles had long been deserted. Only Deng Changyun's figure hovered in the Void Realm, protecting Xu Yuan within the Secret Realm.

Hiss!

Saint!

The powerhouses of the Zhengyang Ancient Sect have arrived!

At this moment, countless powerhouses in the Zhengyuan Holy Domain revealed looks of horror, gazing from afar at the terrifying warships above the eastern Void Realm.

Even separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles, all the Martial Artists could feel the terrifying Saint pressure emanating from above the Void Realm.

This is a Saint!

Millions of years had passed. Except for the Saint battle that erupted with the Yao Race millions of years ago, they had not witnessed a Saint battle for millions of years.

It could be said that the existence of a Saint was enough to change the dynamics of a Holy Domain.

The reason why the Eight Great Families of the Zhengyuan Holy Domain were so transcendent was because of the existence of Saint Ancient Ancestors.

Whoosh!

The owner of the previous gaze slowly walked out, each step covering hundreds of thousands of miles. He quickly traversed hundreds of millions of miles, arriving before Deng Changyun.

"Was it you who killed my Sect's Elder?"

Bei Cang stared at Deng Changyun with cold eyes. He couldn't discern the latter's strength, but he assumed it was merely due to cultivating a concealment Cultivation Technique, so he didn't pay it any mind.

"Yes!"

"But so what?"

Deng Changyun looked calm and unconcerned.

Hiss~

The Martial Artists gasped. They felt that the people of the Xu Family were insane, daring to confront even a Saint head-on. Were they not afraid of death?

"You're seeking death!"

"How dare you kill my Sect's Elder and Disciple! Today, not only you, but also the Xu Family behind you, will be completely erased from this world!"

Bei Cang's voice was exceedingly sinister, and his gaze was chilling as he looked at Deng Changyun, trying to see fear in his eyes.

But he was disappointed. Deng Changyun merely looked at him with a half-smile.

"Seeking death!"

Bei Cang was furious and raised his hand to strike at Deng Changyun.

Boom!

Just then, a withered, thin hand stretched out, instantly shattering the large hand Bei Cang had conjured.

"Who?"

Bei Cang's gaze turned to a certain spot, only to see a short old man slowly walking out.

"That is..."

When the powerhouses of the Zhengyuan Holy Domain saw Venerable Ancestor Wen, their pupils constricted. They recognized his identity.

"Wen Tonghai, you want to stop me? Has your Zhengyuan Holy Palace thought this through?"

Bei Cang naturally recognized Venerable Ancestor Wen and roared angrily.

"Haha!"

"Fellow Daoist Bei Cang, if you came to my Holy Palace as a guest, I would certainly welcome you. But if you intend to lay hands on the Xu Family, then I can only say I apologize!"

Venerable Ancestor Wen sneered, his gaze indifferent, showing no trace of fear on his face, merely speaking in an understated manner.
