204: Many, many

"Clan Chief, I still have a batch of items that need to be sent to the Ancient Time Land!" Qian Duoduo said with cupped fists.

Xu Qing understood immediately upon hearing this.

Why go to the Ancient Time Land? Naturally, it was because of the Myriad Spirits Altar and the Primordial Heavenly Pool.

"Let's go!"

Soon, the two arrived at the Myriad Spirits Altar.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Nearly a million corpses appeared before Xu Qing, and his eyes trembled.

"Clan Chief, here are two Saint Monarchs, eight Half-step Saint Monarchs, forty-three Saint Emperors, two hundred and six Saint Kings, one thousand five hundred and forty-six Great Saints, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four Small Saints, seven thousand and thirty-four Saints, and eight hundred and seventy thousand Half-Saints and Divine Emperors."

"Additionally, there are two Saint Monarch sacred souls, six Half-step Saint Monarch sacred souls, thirty-seven Saint Emperor sacred souls, eighty-three Saint King sacred souls, five hundred and fourteen Great Saint sacred souls, seven hundred and sixty-two Small Saints, two thousand four hundred and seventeen Saints, and over five hundred and thirty thousand Half-Saints and Divine Emperor sacred souls!"

Qian Duoduo reported in detail.

"Clan Chief, rest assured, no one knows about these corpses and sacred souls. We did it very discreetly. Niu Ge had already left Incarnations in various places and collected them when everyone was not around!"

Finally, Qian Duoduo added another sentence.

"Duo Duo, what reward do you want?"

This was the first time Xu Qing had actively asked someone.

Mainly, what Qian Duoduo had done this time made Xu Qing not know what to reward him with.

Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment after hearing this, then knelt and said, "Clan Chief, if possible, could you bestow upon me the surname Xu?"

"Hmm! Huh?"

Xu Qing looked surprised.

Then his expression became somewhat complex. As a Transmigrator, he naturally couldn't quite understand the ancient concept of being bestowed a surname, but for ancient people, a servant taking the master's surname was very common.

The same was true on the Eternal Continent. Many Family servants would take the surname of their master's Family.

Qian Duoduo thought Xu Qing was in a difficult position and felt a bit disappointed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Qing say,

"Later, I will have the Grand Elder include you in the Family genealogy, into my Lineage!"

Qian Duoduo was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed.

No! Now he should be Xu Duoduo!

"Thank you, Clan Chief, for your grace!"

Xu Qing helped him up, then took out the Fiery Crow Pot.

"This is an Ancient Phoenix Tail Feather. It contains a single strike from a Great Emperor Realm expert and can severely injure a Great Emperor Realm expert. Consider it your protective talisman!"

Xu Qing took out an Ancient Phoenix Tail Feather and handed it to Qian Duoduo.

Seeing this, Xu Duoduo immediately wanted to kneel and express his gratitude again, but Xu Qing held him up and then took out a storage ring.

"Here is a Low Grade Imperial Weapon. This is for A Hui!"

Xu Duoduo was shocked. The Clan Chief was indeed as unfathomable as he had thought.

"This time, you all did well. I am very satisfied!" Xu Qing praised him generously, then changed the subject.

"Since the situation in Ancient Martial Emperor Continent is settled, we will continue to send troops and quickly take down the Wuqian Territory completely. I want the entire Tianwu Imperial Domain to submit to the Xu Family, so the progress in the Wuqian Territory must be accelerated!"

"If you need support during this period, just ask me for help, and I will act!"

Xu Duoduo's expression became serious upon hearing this. He cupped his fists and said, "Young Lord, rest assured, in half a year at most—no! In three months, I will make the Wuqian Territory our Family's backyard!"

"It's just, Clan Chief, I want to ask you for some things!"

"What?" Xu Qing asked with a smile.

"One Saint Monarch Middle Stage cultivation, one Saint Monarch Early Stage cultivation, and one Saint Early Stage cultivation!"

Saying this, Xu Duoduo explained the situations of Wu Xingqiong, Yin Ji, and others to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing understood upon hearing this. He exchanged for two Saint Monarch Perfection identity cards and one Great Saint Perfection identity card, and handed them to Xu Duoduo.

Then he said, "You can take some of these corpses!"

"Thank you, Clan Chief!"

Xu Duoduo said with joy upon hearing this.

Xu Qing summoned a batch of Heavenly Soldiers. They would convert these corpses and sacred souls into cultivation crystals and Heavenly Soldiers!

Not long after, Xu Duoduo left with two Saint Monarch Middle Stage crystals and ten Saint Emperor crystals. He did not take the others.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing stayed in the Ancient Time Land for three months.

During these three months, Xu Qing first exchanged for a Saint Monarch Perfection identity card, raising all the remaining Hall Masters, Branch Leaders, the Ten-Man Team, the Dark Hall, and the eight Law Enforcement Heavenly Generals of the Seven Kill Lineage to Saint Monarch Perfection cultivation.

The twenty-eight core Elders were promoted to Saint Monarch Early Stage, and the seventy-two Hall/Branch Elders were promoted to Saint Emperor Perfection.

All of the above cost family points, about 7.7 family points.

Later, with cultivation crystals, Xu Qing used them on the Dark Guards and the Seven Kill Lineage.

The hundred captains of the Dark Guards and the hundred commanders of the Seven Kill Lineage were all at the Saint King Realm.

On the Dark Guard side, the vice-captains and members all had Great Saint cultivation, with the vice-captains all having cultivation above Great Saint Late Stage.

On the Seven Kill side, the five hundred captains were Great Saints; the hundred captains were Small Saint cultivation; and the one hundred thousand Star Guardians all had Half-Saint cultivation.

At this point, Xu Qing still had eight Half-step Saint Monarch crystals, thirty-three Saint Emperor crystals, six Saint King crystals, one hundred and forty-six Great Saint crystals, eight hundred and seventy-four Small Saint crystals, seven thousand and thirty-four Saint crystals, and seven hundred and seventy thousand Half-Saint and Divine Emperor crystals remaining in his hands.

After boosting their cultivation, Xu Qing did not let them idle.

Xu Duoduo's actions this time showed him the direction for improving the strength of the Family's Martial Artists, which was to use war to support war. Relying solely on him to support them was clearly unrealistic; it was better to let them support themselves.

Thus, the one hundred thousand Star Guardians, led by Zhu Yuan and Zhu Haibo, left the Family and went to the Land of Chaos.

This was a special region north of the Nanming Divine Continent, west of the Ancient Land of Heavenly Demons, south of the Central Heaven Divine Continent, and east of the Xi Yan Divine Continent, with an area comparable to three Wuqian Territories.

Due to its special geographical environment, it became one of the most chaotic regions on the entire continent.

Countless escaping experts from all four regions, having fallen into misfortune, arrived here and established the most barbaric rules.

Here, there were no legal constraints whatsoever; there was only one Law—the Law of the Jungle. In other words, it was the survival of the fittest, a Hell for the weak and a paradise for the strong.

As a chaotic region renowned throughout the Eternal Continent, experts died here every day, and likewise, experts poured in from outside every day.

It is said that here, Saints can barely protect themselves, Saint Kings and Saint Emperors have a certain say, and only Saint Monarchs can dominate a region.

As for Quasi-Emperors, in this era where no Great Emperors appear, they would be treated with courtesy wherever they went.

However, this did not mean that Quasi-Emperors were invincible in the Land of Chaos. Over countless years, not a few Quasi-Emperors have fallen here, including even two Quasi-Emperor Perfection existences.

Of course, while this area was full of death, it was also full of opportunities; otherwise, it would not attract other experts.

Here, Advanced Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures that were difficult to see outside could all be found.

It is said that Imperial Weapons once appeared in the largest auction house in the Land of Chaos.

And this place was precisely the training ground for the Star Guardians.

Want to become stronger? Yes!

Then use the corpses of experts to exchange for cultivation crystals with Xu Qing. This way, not only would Xu Qing's pressure be reduced, but it could also serve as a training ground.

The Dark Hall was not idle either. From the day they were established, they became assassins who cleared all obstacles, so sending them out as assassins was most suitable.

Thus, led by An Ba, An Jiu, and An Shi, they went to the Southern Desolate Ancient Nether Realm in the Nanming region, using the Nether Flame Emperor Valley as a sparring partner and taking their Disciples as assassination targets.

The remaining Dark Guards, each hall went to the other seven Emperor Domains besides Nanming and Tianwu, establishing strongholds locally, specifically collecting intelligence, training Dark Guards, and so on.
