203: System upgrade, recycling

Taiji Hall!

Xu Qing suddenly awoke from his Cultivation, a look of surprise in his eyes.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host, your Xuanhuang Hall has subjugated the Tianqi Aristocratic Family, Qiantian Holy Land, Poyuan Holy Land, and Dingtian Holy Land, four forces. Your territory has increased by four small Holy Lands, one hundred twenty-four Emperor Domains, and two thousand three hundred Great Domains! You are rewarded with twenty million family points.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host, your servant Qian Duoduo has subjugated the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect and incorporated the Ancient Martial Emperor Continent into your territory. You are rewarded with thirty million family points.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host, your Clan Luck Golden Dragon has transformed into a twelve-clawed Golden Dragon of ten million zhang! You are rewarded with one hundred million family points.”

“Wang Changfeng did not disappoint me!”

Xu Qing smiled, then looked at the second notification.

“Didn’t they say that the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect was already in decline and their control over the lower regions was failing?”

Xu Qing frowned, then took out the heaven monitoring mirror. After some deductions, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He then reacted!

“Very good! Duo Duo did well this time!”

Xu Qing was overjoyed.

“It’s a twelve-clawed Golden Dragon now! But it will be difficult for it to transform again!”

After the twelve-clawed Golden Dragon comes the Purple-Gold Sacred Dragon, which requires reaching a length of one hundred million zhang. To reach this level, he wondered if taking down the Tianwu Imperial Domain would be enough!

“Host: Xu Qing”

“Identity: Xu Clan Leader”

“Cultivation: Saint Early Stage”

“Aptitude: Eternal”

“Physique: Chaos Dao Body (Minor Achievement), Void Dao Body (Minor Achievement), Chaos Dao Eye (Minor Achievement), Heaven and Earth Dao Heart (40%), Undying Dao Body (Initial Entry)”

“Luck: Purple-Gold”

“Influence: Great Emperor Family (insufficient foundation, severe lack of core strength)”

“Family Mall: King Rank”

“family points: 22,525,000”

“Clan Luck Spirit: Twelve-clawed Golden Dragon (14,210,000 zhang)”

“Talents: Investment Return, Plunder Luck, Heavenly Secret Obscuration, Heavenly Dao Pressure, Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!”

“Territory: 1 Emperor Continent; 10 Holy Lands; 360 Emperor Domains; 24,000 Great Domains; 9,300 Middle Domains; 50,000 Small Domains. Note: Emperor Continent is part of the Territory and does not count towards family points. The Host is expected to unify the Wuqian Territory as soon as possible.”

“Tsk! It increased by a full 6.94 million zhang. It seems that while Emperor Continent doesn't count towards family points, its Luck is included, adding about 600,000 zhang.”

The additional one million-plus was what the System plundered after the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect annihilated those forces.

Now that the Clan Luck Spirit was sufficient, the System should also upgrade.

“System upgrade!”

“Ding! System is upgrading...”

Then, his gaze fell on the Cultivation column. During this period, due to the Chaotic Spiritual Energy, although the Chaos Dao Body had not yet reached Major Achievement, his Cultivation had broken through to the Saint Realm.

In addition, the Eight Nine Arcane Art, having been Cultivated to the fifth revolution, allowed him to achieve the Undying Dao Body.

Although it was an Initial Entry, he had already gained the ability of Rebirth from a drop of blood, and his Physical Body and sacred soul, even a Quasi-Emperor, could not obliterate. Even if he encountered a Great Emperor expert, as long as a trace remained, he could revive.

While the Saint Realm could achieve Rebirth from a drop of blood, the prerequisite was that the sacred soul would split into billions, merging into the blood, thereby achieving Rebirth from a drop of blood.

Moreover, the Saint Realm could not resist the power of a Quasi-Emperor expert, unless a contingency plan was made in advance, hiding a drop of blood containing the sacred soul in a secret place; otherwise, revival would be impossible.

What's more, when major figures above the Saint Realm made a move, they could use the power of the world to connect with Karma and obliterate all sacred souls. Therefore, although Saints were difficult to kill, as long as one was willing to pay the price, Saints could still be annihilated.

And when Xu Qing became a Saint, he could split into billions. Although he couldn't fully integrate all of them into his body's blood, he still condensed nine drops of vital blood containing sacred souls, four of which remained in the Ancient Time Land.

The other four were stored in the Hun Yuan Seal, the heaven and earth fortune cauldron, the nine-dragon carriage, and the eternal clan token.

This was to prevent sudden unforeseen circumstances.

After all, preserving life was paramount, and preparing in advance was never wrong.

Three days later, the System upgraded successfully.

“Ding! System upgrade successful. Upgraded to Emperor Rank System. Emperor Rank Mall is now open, allowing exchange for all resources below Quasi-Emperor! Note: The next stage of upgrade, Supreme System, requires the Host’s Cultivation to be at the Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Clan Luck Golden Dragon to be thirty million zhang long!”

“Ding! System upgrade successful. Rewarded with thirty million family points and the Fire Crow Gourd!”

“Thirty million zhang! Looking at this trend, taking down one Wuqian Territory might not be enough!”

“However, from the previous situation, it shouldn't be enough. Then it'll be two, three, until it's enough. And Xuanhuang Hall also needs to hurry!”

“Fire Crow Gourd: An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon refined by an ancient Fire Crow Dao expert, gathering the essence of Myriad Daos of fire. When fighting, it can release a large number of Fire Crows to burn enemies. Several Great Emperors were once refined alive, and the living beings of an entire world were incinerated to death.”

This was indeed a good Emperor Weapon, much more powerful than the two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons returned by the System that day.

Xu Qing put it away.

“Both Duo Duo and Wang Changfeng have contributed this time; they should be rewarded!”

With this thought, he exchanged a Saint Perfection identity card and sent it to Qian Duoduo.

Then he exchanged one Saint Emperor Perfection identity card and four Saint King Perfection identity cards and sent them to Wang Changfeng.

Although Wang Changfeng received a lot of family points, giving too much wasn't good. The Saint Emperor Perfection Cultivation was just right for his current needs.

And with just these few cards, twenty million family points were gone. A Saint Emperor Perfection identity card cost 4.5 million each, while a Saint Perfection card required 7.5 million.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance outside the main hall.

Xu Qing smiled, “Come in!”

Then Qian Duoduo walked in.

“Greetings, Clan Chief!”

“Alright, alright, there’s no need for us to be so formal!”

Xu Qing waved his hand with a smile, “You did well this time, giving me such a big surprise!”

“Clan Chief, these are just what Duo Duo should do!”

Qian Duoduo said with a joyful expression. He was very grateful to Xu Qing. Even though he was about to become a Saint Realm expert, he still remembered the scene when Xu Qing led him onto the path of Cultivation in Ming Domain.

It was on that day that a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.

“Oh, right!” Qian Duoduo took out a list from his storage ring.

“Clan Chief, this is a list of resources. It contains the resources I took from the annihilated Holy Lands!”

Xu Qing heard this and was a little curious. He figured Qian Duoduo’s sudden return was for this matter.

It was also at this time that his eternal clan token vibrated. He picked it up and looked at it, his eyes gleaming.

It was all resources: various Ranks of divine crystal and sacred crystal veins, as well as divine veins and sacred veins. Besides these, there were nine piles of resources, each a hundred zhang high.

He couldn't help but grasp the list in his hand. What he saw was incredible.

The items listed were from Jiyin Island and its various subordinate forces, and this was six-tenths of it.

Among them were many Cultivation items used by Saint Kings and Saint Emperors, and more than twenty items for Saint Realm experts.

There was also another list: 22 Saint Realm items, 211 Saint Emperor items, 1,029 Saint King items, and a staggering 21,460 Saint items.

Resources below the Saint Realm were mainly concentrated on Divine Emperor and Half-Saint items. This portion, largely given out as rewards, only amounted to over 340,000 items.

Xu Qing buried all the divine veins and sacred veins in Cloud Mist Mountain, or threw them into the Secret Realm of the World Ancient Plum, turning them into Cultivation grounds.

“System, recycle all these resources!”

Xu Qing's face showed some anticipation.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo thought Xu Qing was checking the resources and did not disturb him.

“Ding! System is evaluating...”

A moment later!

“Ding! Current resources, after deducting various depreciations, have a final total value of 38.486 billion family points. The System will recycle 60%. Does the Host agree?”

“Agree!”

Xu Qing nodded in his heart.

“Ding! 23.0916 billion family points have been credited. Please check, Host!”

Xu Qing glanced at the System panel: a total of 23.29685 billion family points.

This number looked like a lot, but when put into practice, it wasn't much.

For example, a Saint Perfection Cultivation required 7.5 million family points. These family points would only be enough to Cultivate 3,106 Saint Perfection experts.

In the future, Quasi-Emperors, Great Emperors—which of them didn't require resources?

It was also at this time that Qian Duoduo gave Xu Qing another surprise...
