266: Return to Yunwu Mountain

"As long as you can win over enough forces to submit to the Yin Court, this Seat will not be stingy with rewards!"

As Xu Qing's words fell, a ghostly torrent surged out, instantly enveloping Nine Curves Ghost Emperor. He immediately broke through the two-tenths Dao Severing Realm bottleneck, instantly comprehending four-tenths of the Dao, and his combat power reached the level of a Peerless Great Emperor!

His eyes widened. He had never imagined that his Cultivation would Breakthrough like this.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Nine Curves Ghost Emperor was not foolish; he quickly knelt and bowed in gratitude.

"Go! Remember, as long as you serve this Seat loyally, you will gain even more. Even reaching above the Emperor Realm is not a difficult matter!" Xu Qing's tone was cold, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

"Yes, Master!"

Nine Curves Ghost Emperor kowtowed to Xu Qing, then stood up and slowly retreated from the main hall, bowing deeply.

"Hoo!"

Upon arriving outside the main hall, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief, his face then overtaken by immense joy.

This Cultivation Realm was extremely powerful even in the Netherworld, which increased his success rate in convincing his old friends.

"Old friends, I hope you don't make it difficult for this Emperor, otherwise, don't blame this Emperor for being ruthless!"

Nine Curves Ghost Emperor had already seen his Dao. He wanted to become stronger, so anyone who obstructed his Great Dao would meet only one end.

He quickly left the Yin Heaven Palace. Out of respect for Xu Qing, he walked the entire path from the Yin Heaven Palace to the outside world.

Inside the Yin Heaven Palace!

A ghostly Great Dao appeared behind Xu Qing. This Great Dao quickly took shape, and in a moment, an Incarnation carved from the same mold as Xu Qing materialized.

This was one of Xu Qing's Dao Incarnations, far more powerful than a regular Incarnation. The Cultivation of this Dao Incarnation was comparable to the Early Stage of Dao Severing, but its combat power was comparable to the Perfection of Dao Severing. Coupled with the five turbid ghost seal, an ordinary Dao Lord Realm expert would not even think of taking advantage in this Realm.

Under the ancient alliance, this level of combat power was sufficient, unless those above dared to break the alliance.

Moreover, this Dao Incarnation could Cultivate autonomously, Cultivating the Dao of Ghosts.

At his Realm, condensing a Dao Incarnation was effortless. Many powerful cultivators who comprehended multiple Great Daos would condense Dao Incarnations, which would greatly shorten their Cultivation time.

Xu Qing stepped into the spatial gate, and the next second, he was inside a palace.

"Buzz!"

An endless Power Of Faith surged towards Xu Qing.

This was precisely the Nine Heavens of the Tianyang Divine Court. At this moment, the entire Nine Heavens was filled with Power Of Faith, which had reached a liquefied state. This was the Power Of Faith offered by the living planets ruled by the Tianyang World.

The accumulation over ten years had caused this Power Of Faith to subtly transform into Power Of Will with Karma.

Xu Qing opened his mouth and inhaled forcefully. In an instant, the Power Of Faith from the entire Nine Heavens surged violently, madly converging towards Xu Qing.

Power Of Faith was also a form of power, and the Qiankun Great World within Xu Qing's body welcomed any energy.

The commotion here startled the two young attendants outside the door. Both immediately prostrated themselves devoutly towards the great hall.

"Great Celestial Venerable has emerged from seclusion!"

The other Divine Spirits in the other Heavens were all alarmed, and like the two young attendants, they all prostrated themselves in worship.

Hao Yang and the Four Ancestors emerged from seclusion and headed towards the Nine Heavens. In this Divine Court, only five people were qualified to meet Xu Qing.

Seeing that Xu Qing was Cultivating, the five did not dare to disturb him, but instead waited outside the Dao Palace!

The entire process lasted only an hour. Ninety percent of the Power Of Faith accumulated over these ten years was used by Xu Qing, but these powers only slightly enhanced the Qiankun Great World when they entered it.

With a wave of Xu Qing's hand, the remaining ten percent of the Power Of Faith transformed into torrents, sweeping towards the Divine Spirits of the Divine Court.

"Thank you, Great Celestial Venerable, for your grace!"

The Divine Spirits all expressed their gratitude.

Xu Qing looked outside the Dao Palace and said, "Come in!"

"Greetings, Great Celestial Venerable!"

Hao Yang and the other four bowed with devout expressions.

"Rise!"

Xu Qing said with a smile. After ten years, the Cultivation of the five had not changed, ultimately restricted by the influence of this world.

Xu Qing waved out five torrents, and the Cultivation of the five instantly reached the Peerless Great Emperor Realm, and they were Peerless Great Emperors who had comprehended six-tenths of the Great Dao. Not counting those old monsters, experts at this level were already at the pinnacle of the Lower Realm.

He did not raise the Cultivation of the five too much all at once; this reward was sufficient!

"Thank you, Great Celestial Venerable, for your grace!"

The five were overjoyed, especially the Four Ancestors. Breaking through to the Emperor Realm could be said to be their obsession, and today they finally achieved it.

"No need to thank me! Over the past ten years, I have seen everything you have done! Not bad!" Xu Qing said with a smile.

"All for Tianyang!"

The five said in unison.

"Very good!" Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. "I will leave a Dao Incarnation in this Realm. If you have any questions about Cultivation, you can find my Dao Incarnation!"

"Yes, Great Celestial Venerable!"

The five quickly agreed.

Like in the Yin Heaven Palace, a Dao Incarnation condensed from the Divine Dao remained in the Dao Palace, while Xu Qing's true body stepped into the spatial gate and returned to Cloud Mist Mountain.

The teleportation location was precisely under the World Ancient Plum.

"Master!"

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

Seeing Xu Qing, the World Ancient Plum swayed, and the Void Realm was filled with joyful emotions. A branch of the World Ancient Plum drew water from the Void Realm and then poured it into the tea set below, brewing tea for Xu Qing.

"You have also grown!"

Xu Qing touched the tree trunk, sighing with emotion.

In ten years, the World Ancient Plum had grown considerably. It was now an existence comparable to a Supreme Great Emperor. Now that it had received the hundred Middle Thousand Worlds given to it by Xu Qing, once all of them were refined, its Cultivation would skyrocket to another level.

Besides it, the other spiritual plants in the Family had also grown, especially the Innate Firmiana Simplex, which had recovered to the Emperor Realm with the help of Nirvana Fire, and the Innate Five-Needle Pine had also recovered to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Although the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus was still a ninth-grade Quasi-Emperor medicine, its foundation had strengthened, and its power was no weaker than a nine-step Quasi-Emperor.

Although the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus was only a Quasi-Emperor medicine, it had done many good things for the Family in the past, so Xu Qing naturally would not be stingy with its growth.

"It's been ten years since I've had the tea you brewed!"

Xu Qing took the teacup and took a sip, feeling as if he had returned to ten years ago.

"As long as Master likes it!"

The World Ancient Plum's words were filled with joy.

"Has my younger brother been here?" Xu Qing asked, sensing Xu Yuan's aura here.

"Yes, Young Master Yuan came here two months ago, but he has already left. It seems he went to the Dongxuan Divine Continent!"

Xu Qing nodded. The Family token had a message from Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan's first stop on this trip was the Dongxuan Emperor Domain of the Dongxuan Divine Continent, which was the center of the Dongxuan Divine Continent, with a total of two hundred and forty Realms, slightly larger than the Nanming Imperial Domain.

There was an academy here called Dongxuan Academy. Although it was not as good as the three great academies, it held a pivotal position in the Dongxuan Divine Continent and was among the top tier below the three great academies.

Xu Yuan's purpose was to visit Dongxuan Academy and travel through the Dongxuan Divine Continent.

"Master, Young Master Yuan said that when he returns to Cloud Mist Mountain again, it will be the day of his marriage to Young Miss Yan An!"

The World Ancient Plum reminded him.

"Counting the time, I broke my promise! But that's fine. When my younger brother returns from his travels, it will be his wedding day. I will also take this time to travel throughout the Eternal Dao Realm!"

After his safety was guaranteed, Xu Qing also wanted to go out and travel, otherwise, wouldn't his Cultivation be in vain?

But before that, he had to see the Grand Elder!

"This Clan Chief of mine is basically a hands-off manager. I wonder if Third Grandpa and Second Uncle have any complaints!"

Xu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

After slowly finishing the tea in his cup, Xu Qing, like a leisurely person, walked down the mountain.

Along the way, the Heavenly Army soldiers saw him and bowed to Xu Qing.

Although the main force of the ten great Heavenly Army legions was in the Netherworld, there were still small contingents of Shang Zhang, Chong Guang, Xuan Yi, and Zhaoyang's four armies stationed within the Family.

The numbers were not large, about ten thousand men per army, but out of the one hundred and twenty thousand Heavenly Kings in the ten armies, two thousand were stationed within the Family.
