345: The Second Prince of Sarn

The entire Qiankun Continent is filled with magnificent and endless mountains and rivers, with divine Peaks reaching the sky and immortal Peaks piercing the firmament. If one were to look down from above, all the mountains and rivers of the continent would be seen to converge into eighty-one massive mountain ranges, and these eighty-one mountain ranges, in turn, originated from nine even larger mountain ranges.

The convergence point of these nine mountain ranges is a majestic divine pulse that spans the center of the continent from east to west. This is the source of the Qiankun Continent, the ancestor of all mountains, and the origin of all rivers—Qiankun Mountain.

The entire mountain range does not contain Dao pulse, but its Dao Source Power is comparable to a High Grade Dao pulse. Deep within the center of Qiankun Mountain, something mysterious is brewing, and it is this mysterious presence that has created nine Medium Grade Dao pulse and eighty-one Low Grade Dao pulse.

Xu Qing had a premonition that in the future, when he reached a certain Realm, a giant High Grade Dao pulse, or even a legendary Ancestral pulse, would be nurtured here.

It must be known that Ancestral pulse are extremely precious. The Ancestral pulse in the entire Ancient Land of Dao are few in number, and only Eternal or Immortal forces can occupy them. Some newly established Immortal forces may not even possess an Ancestral pulse.

As for the Qiankun Continent, Xu Qing opened it up to Star Lords who were at Dao Lord Perfection and above. As long as their Cultivation reached this Realm, they could Cultivate in seclusion on the Qiankun Continent.

Of course, only Supreme True Monarchs could come to Qiankun Mountain for secluded Cultivation. Other Star Lords could at most stop at the nine Great Dragon pulse.

Xu Qing raised his hand, and a miniature palace flew out from his sleeve, quickly expanding before landing at the convergence of the nine Dragons. As soon as the palace touched the ground, surging Dao Source Qi gathered, and in an instant, the entire palace was filled with rich Dao Source Qi.

Although there was no longer the time acceleration from the nine-dragon carriage, Xu Qing's Time Great Dao had already reached the initial stage of Immortality, sufficient to set up a three-thousand-fold flow rate. For Dao Monarchs who had not Cultivated the Time Dao, the time flow rate was at most a hundred-fold.

Affected by him, the time flow rate of the entire Cosmos World is three thousand times that of the Eternal Dao Realm, so time is extremely abundant for Cultivation here.

“Om!”

After drifting into the palace, Xu Qing spent two trillion to exchange for resources specifically for the Chaos Dao Body and entered Cultivation.

Time flowed like a river. On Xu Qing's body, the Aura of the Chaos Great Dao grew increasingly intense, like a surging and vast sea of Chaos.

Suddenly, a torrent of Chaos erupted from his Dragon bone, like a galaxy hanging upside down, instantly transforming into a Chaos Divine Dragon. This Dragon's body was incomparably vast, like a moving mountain, with Chaos Qi swirling around it, seemingly containing endless mysteries within.

It coiled around Xu Qing, baring its fangs and claws, with a majestic Aura, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.

Each act of devouring was like a whale swallowing water or an ox drinking. The Heaven And Earth Treasure piled up like mountains in the hall were absorbed like by a black hole, continuously merging into the Chaos Divine Dragon's body.

As the Heaven And Earth Treasure integrated, the Chaos Divine Dragon's body continuously expanded, growing ever larger, its scales shimmering with mysterious light, like brilliant stars.

At the same time, countless Chaos Great Dao runes, like fireworks, emanated from the Chaos Divine Dragon's massive body. These runes flickered with strange divine light, as if the most ancient Laws of heaven and earth were intertwining.

They intertwined with each other, forming mysterious patterns, seemingly containing the mysteries of Chaos... Kase Royal City!

Frenzied Blood Realm, one of the eight Great Realms of Kase Royal City, was built in the very center of Sa'en Street, with mountains and spiritual lakes interspersed. Within it, many ancient and magnificent architectural complexes were constructed, and the entire Sa'en Square, spanning a million miles, was patrolled by powerful armored warriors, deterring all petty criminals.

This was the Clan land of one of the eight Great Families of Kase—the Saen Family.

The entire Kase Royal City consisted of one Palace, eight Realms, three thousand Streets, and ninety thousand Squares. The one Palace was the Kase Royal Palace, covering ten million miles. The eight Realms were where the eight Great Families resided, distributed in eight directions around the Royal Palace, giving the impression of guarding it.

The three thousand Streets were where the second-rate and above forces of the Royal City, or foreign merchant associations, resided. The ninety thousand Squares were where the residents of the Royal City lived.

At this moment, on the Peak of a certain mountain in the Frenzied Blood Realm, Sarn Ao bowed his head respectfully, while in front of him, a figure in a black robe embroidered with purple blood flames stood with his back to him, overlooking the Saen Family below. [Note: Sarn Ao's Cultivation is at Dao Severing Peak, already changed earlier!]

“Do you think this person can help me?”

A faint voice entered Sarn Ao's ears.

“This…”

Sarn Ao hesitated upon hearing this.

“Just say it directly. I am not like Old Fourth and the others!”

The black-robed figure turned around, revealing a handsome face with a jade-like complexion and golden features. Such a face, unparalleled for a hundred generations, was truly so.

“Second Young Master! This is somewhat difficult. If that person were just a Half-step Supreme, it would be fine, but that person is, after all, a Supreme. Such an existence is comparable to several Old Ancestors. It is too difficult to bring him into the Second Young Master's camp, too difficult!”

Sarn Ao said with a bitter smile.

Once a living being becomes Transcendent, his Lifespan becomes infinite. Therefore, some beings who remain in high positions stay there for epochs.

This, in turn, is a disguised form of suppression for the next generation. Thus, some forces have set certain term limits for rotation, thereby giving the next generation a channel for advancement.

Take their Saen Family, for example. Each Clan Chief's term is three thousand epochs, and now that the three-thousand-epoch term is nearing its end, the position of Clan Chief will be vacant. Because of this, various branches within the Clan are stirring, all wanting to compete for the position of Clan Chief.

Currently, there are thirty-two individuals qualified to compete for the position of Clan Chief. Each of them is a Prodigy above Dao Severing, not only possessing their own abilities but also backed by a powerful force.

The Second Young Master in front of him is the Clan Chief's second son, and his Cultivation has reached the Late Stage of Dao Severing. Among the Saen Family's Prodigies, besides the Eldest Young Master, there are only five at the Late Stage of Dao Severing.

The General Manager of Saen Palace is the Second Young Master's maternal uncle, so the entire Saen Palace belongs to the Second Young Master's faction.

Because of this, the Second Young Master is one of the most competitive candidates for Clan Chief.

After all, backed by Saen Palace, he is never short of enforcers, and although these slaves are constrained by the Clan's Elder Council, there are always loopholes to exploit.

But everything changed a few days ago when the Fourth Young Master suddenly gained a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign on his side, which dealt a heavy blow to the other competitors.

Within the Saen Family, the Clan's Dao Lord Old Ancestors naturally would not participate in the factional struggles among the younger generation.

This sudden Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign was not a member of the Saen Family, but rather a battle beast under the Fourth Young Master that had achieved a Breakthrough.

The appearance of a Dao Lord tilted the balance of this competition towards the Fourth Young Master, which also prompted the other competitors to seek external aid.

Although Saen Palace had Dao Lord slaves, he could not use them. These were the Family's private property. Unless his personal guards or battle beasts achieved a Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm, he would not have a Dao Lord powerhouse on his side.

He had also heard Sarn Ao's report and set his sights on Xu Qing, who had purchased slaves at Saen Palace.

“Father's term only has about a hundred years left. If I cannot surpass Old Fourth within these hundred years, then the position of Clan Chief will have nothing to do with me. I am unwilling!”

The Second Young Master's eyes were filled with unwillingness. He was an ambitious person and would never compromise until the very end.

Now that he thought about it, the Eldest and Third Young Masters had it easy. They disliked Clan affairs, early on joined famous sects and great teachings to Cultivate, and stayed away from Clan disputes.

What a pity... “Prepare a generous gift, and tomorrow, follow me to visit that esteemed adult!”

“Remember, only those here are to know about this, otherwise…”

A cold glint appeared in the Second Young Master's eyes.

“Yes, Second Young Master!”

Sarn Ao's body went cold, and he quickly nodded in response.
