176: parting

While Xu Qing and Blue Robe were clinking cups, the outside world was bustling.

Xu Qing's Saint Tribulation also spread, and his feat of becoming a Saint King in one step shocked the entire Nanming Divine Continent, spreading to other Divine Continents at an extremely terrifying speed.

And various forces were even more moved after receiving news from their own Elders.

There were even ancient existences who wanted to break out of seclusion, but upon hearing that Blue Robe was in the Five Great Domains, they could only smile bitterly and continue their seclusion.

Cangwu Academy was too powerful, its foundation too profound, and it was even one of the forces on the Eternal Continent that could maintain constant contact with the higher realms. This alone was enough to crush most Emperor Sects.

They knew their own foundations and didn't necessarily believe they could contend. Moreover, Blue Robe had come personally. If it had been other Grand Elders from the Academy, they might have been able to compete.

But Blue Robe's presence already represented Cangwu Academy's resolve.

"Go! Find that person, bring generous gifts to form an alliance. If such a True King does not fall, he will surely become a Great Emperor in the future. We must befriend him!"

After an ancient existence issued a decree, he entered seclusion.

Thus, the force he belonged to, led by Saint Monarch magnates, grandly set off for the Five Great Domains.

And such a plan was not limited to this one force; the entire Nanming Divine Continent became lively.

"Hmph! Ghost Nineteen, that useless fellow, not only tried to monopolize the information but also got himself caught, causing us to be punished by the Lord. Damn him!"

"That idiot had better die in there, otherwise, I will make him suffer the torment of hellfire!"

In a certain part of Ghost Cliff, several ghost figures gathered. Behind these ghost figures were nine terrifying Emperor Rings, and terrifying Quasi-Emperor Qi pressed down on the Void Realm, creating a dead zone all around.

"What do we do now? Should we go to the Five Great Domains?" a ghost figure asked.

"Are you going to seek death?"

The leading ghost figure spoke coldly, his entire body crimson, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Since Blue Robe is there, can we still act rashly? Originally, a Sacred Eye Owner had already attracted the attention of many forces in the Nanming Divine Continent. Now, a True King who entered the Saint King Realm in one step has appeared. Do you dare to act? Aren't you afraid of falling into the schemes of those old geezers?"

"Then what should we do? The Lord's command is to completely eliminate these two!"

A ghost figure with crimson eyes, shrouded in black mist, asked.

Upon hearing the word "Lord," fear simultaneously appeared in the eyes of the several ghost figures.

"Wait! I don't believe they can stay at Cangwu Academy until they become an Emperor! Geniuses also need to temper themselves. We will use various hidden pieces and find ways to infiltrate their surroundings."

"Opportunities will always arise. We need to lie in wait and deliver a fatal blow at any time!"

"Everyone, back then, the Lord was able to reach that step precisely because he killed that Sacred Eye Owner. Now that the Great Dao shows signs of recovery, perhaps we will no longer be limited to this!"

The crimson ghost figure smiled coldly, his eyes filled with greed and ambition.

Amazing ambition also surged in the eyes of the other ghost figures... Within the Ancient Time Land, Xu Yuan also reached a critical moment.

Just like Xu Qing that day, Xu Yuan, relying on his powerful foundation, fought his way from the hundred-zhang mark to the nine-thousand-zhang mark, taking the top spot and suppressing all the Sovereigns.

He did not hide his appearance.

Therefore, with the dissemination by some Martial Artists who had experienced the Ancient Disc Secret Realm, the name of the Sacred Eye once again shook the Five Great Domains.

At this moment, the protagonist they were discussing met Blue Robe in Taiji Hall, and the latter looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Because he could tell Xu Yuan's bone age at a glance; he was less than twenty years old. This startled him. To reach the God-Emperor Realm at such a young age, Xu Yuan was not the first, but what kind of backgrounds did those individuals have?

They enjoyed the nourishment of various Heaven And Earth Treasures while still in the womb and received guidance from Quasi-Emperor magnates from birth. And Xu Yuan?

Aside from the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus in the Heavenly Pond at the entrance, the strongest person in the entire Xu Family was Xu Qing, a Saint King. Such a Family, even if it were an Emperor Sect, would probably have lost eighty to ninety percent of its resources in that upheaval!

How could it compare to those forces with Legacies from ancient and primordial times?

And apart from these long-standing Legacy forces, most of the Prodigies of the same age in other forces were still in the Sovereign Realm, at most the Mystic Sovereign Realm. Xu Yuan had already surpassed them by far too much.

And when he heard that Xu Qing was only two years older than Xu Yuan, his pupils suddenly contracted. He suddenly realized that Xu Qing was the most terrifying person.

Looking at the young man with whom he had been chatting happily just now, Blue Robe could hardly express the shock in his heart with words.

A twenty-one-year-old Saint King? Even novels wouldn't dare to write something so exaggerated!

It was simply terrifying.

This was even more formidable than those ancient Legacies!

"I didn't expect you to also possess the Supreme Sword Body. It just so happens I can find you a good teacher!"

When he heard that Xu Yuan also had the Supreme Sword Body, Blue Robe laughed again.

This time, he had truly found a treasure. Whether it was the Sacred Eye or the Supreme Sword Body, both were enough for someone to achieve a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. But both were present in Xu Yuan. If this news spread, how many Prodigies would be envious?

Since it was decided that Xu Yuan would enter Cangwu Academy, they would eventually have to part.

Soon, the time for farewell arrived.

Three days later!

"Big Brother, I will not let you down. When the day comes, after I return from Cultivating the Dao, I will surely personally slay our enemies and avenge our parents!"

Xu Yuan said solemnly, his eyes red.

"Go! Big Brother believes in you!"

"Big Brother will come to see you when he has time. If you miss Big Brother, come back and visit!"

"If anyone bullies you, tell Big Brother. If I can't beat the old ones, Big Brother can still deal with the young ones!"

Xu Qing instructed with a laugh.

Blue Robe's mouth twitched. At this age, Xu Qing was indeed invincible.

"Alright!" Xu Yuan smiled through his tears.

"We should go!"

Blue Robe saw that it was about time and said slowly.

"Go! The vast sea churns with waves, and the heavens and earth are boundless. Your Dao is not here!"

"I'll be waiting for the day you become an Emperor!"

Xu Qing patted his younger brother's shoulder, encouraging him.

Moments later, Blue Robe left. Besides Xu Yuan, he also took away Xu Ji and dozens of other Xu Family Prodigies, including Wang Yanan.

These were all Xu Qing's achievements from these past few days.

These individuals were all Saint Bodies. Among them, Xu Ji and others had received the help of the Five-Needle Pine fruit, achieving the Innate Five Elements Royal Body, and then received resources exchanged by Xu Qing, elevating them to the Innate Five Elements Saint Body.

Although they could only Cultivate to the Saint King Realm at most, unless one possessed Heaven-Defying Aptitude like the Supreme Sword Body or Sacred Eye, to Cultivate to the very end, what was needed was great perseverance and an unwavering heart dedicated to the Dao.

Moreover, with Xu Yuan's status, was there any fear of not being able to extract resources from Cangwu Academy?

Xu Yuan and the others were Geniuses; they could not stay within the clan like Xu Qing. Their Dao was not here; they should go and contend for the Dao and Luck with the Geniuses of the world.

Especially a Sword Cultivator like Xu Yuan, he should forge a powerful Sword Dao Heart through continuous battles.

Xu Qing could exchange cultivation for him, even make him an Emperor Realm existence, but he couldn't forge a Sword Dao Heart for him. So, letting him go out was also for his own good.

Once his System here upgraded, if he encountered a Bottleneck, or if his speed slowed down, it wouldn't be too late for him to provide help then!
