47: Chaos

“Yes!”

Upon hearing the word “yes,” Wang Boyong’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled!

“However, what was seen today, apart from important figures of your Wang Family, I do not wish for outsiders to know about my Xu Family! Otherwise…”

Xu Qing’s cold gaze swept over the two of them!

“Even the Jade Maiden Palace won’t be able to protect your Wang Family, I guarantee it!”

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire hall solidified, and the two felt a bone-chilling cold, as if all the blood in their bodies had frozen!

“Of course, as in-laws, if the Wang Family encounters a crisis, my Xu Family will also lend a hand!”

Xu Qing’s face suddenly broke into a gentle smile, and the previously heavy atmosphere instantly dissipated, making the two feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze!

“Young Master Xu, rest assured, my Wang Family is not one to gossip. From now on, if anyone in Fengyan County makes trouble for the Xu Family, my Wang Family will take action to resolve it immediately. If the Xu Family has any instructions, my Wang Family is willing to serve!”

Wang Boyong understood from Xu Qing’s words that the Xu Family wanted to keep a low profile. Since that was the case, why wouldn’t the Wang Family be happy to help them resolve some minor troubles?

After all, to outsiders, this would appear as the Wang Family looking after its in-laws, and they certainly wouldn’t think too much into it!

Conversely, if the Wang Family encountered something they couldn’t resolve, besides seeking the Jade Maiden Palace, they could also ask the Xu Family for help. Having an extra path meant an extra way out for the Wang Family!

Xu Qing smiled faintly. This Wang Boyong was also a clever man!

He liked dealing with clever people!

“Since that’s the case…”

Xu Qing looked at Xu Song, “Etiquette cannot be abandoned. Uncle Song, prepare, and accompany Steward Wang to the Wang Manor to propose marriage. After the two come of age, the marriage contract will be fulfilled!”

“Yes, Young Lord!” Xu Song replied!

Xu Qing nodded, then controlled a storage ring, letting it fall into Wang Dong’s hand!

“Commander Wang, the kindness of yesteryear, Xu Qing will never forget. A small token of my appreciation, I hope you don’t find it lacking!” Xu Qing said with a smile!

Wang Dong was a little flustered, “Young Master Xu, you exaggerate, I was merely following orders…”

“No, no, one thing is one thing!” Xu Qing waved his hand, smiling!

Afterwards, he chatted with the two for a few more sentences, then had Xu Song arrange for them to rest!

Silence fell over the great hall, leaving only Xu Qing and Xu Yuan!

“Do you hate your elder brother?” Xu Qing asked with a smile!

“No, I don’t! Elder brother must have his reasons for doing this!” Xu Yuan said!

However, a hint of resentment could still be heard in his tone!

Seeing this, Xu Qing teased, “That Wang Yan’an is one of the seven daughters of the Wang Family, she must be beautiful. I’m finding you a good wife, so why the little mood?”

“That Wang Yan isn’t bad either? If elder brother had proposed it now, the Wang Family would surely have been happy!” Xu Yuan retorted!

“Alas! That’s not right!” Xu Qing waved his hand and said, “As the saying goes, a good horse doesn’t eat old grass. Besides, that Wang Yan has entered the Jade Maiden Palace Master’s tutelage. If we were to marry Wang Yan, it would surely attract that Heavenly King of the Jade Maiden Palace, and then my Xu Family would be exposed!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression became serious!

Xu Qing said earnestly, “Elder brother won’t hide it from you. Agreeing to this marriage is, firstly, to find you a wife, which can also comfort the spirits of our parents in heaven; secondly, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and discovered that this Wang Family has great Luck, which is subtly intertwined with the Luck of the Ming Domain!”

“On the path of martial arts, whether it’s an individual, a Family, a Sect, or a nation, their struggle for territory and resources ultimately boils down to a struggle for Luck. The struggle for Luck concerns a person’s Dao path and the Legacy of a force!”

“The Xu Family’s current actions are inherently a variable. A variable, by its very nature, is a cycle of life and death. From the moment our Xu Family rose, we have been contending with the established general trend of the world. We can either rise with the variable or perish with it!”

“Therefore, the Xu Family must seize every opportunity. Now, there is an opportunity to control the Luck of the Ming Domain without bloodshed and without incurring infamy. Are you willing?”

After hearing his elder brother’s words, the last trace of resentment in Xu Yuan’s heart completely vanished!

“Elder brother, I am willing!”

Xu Yuan’s expression was serious, and he felt a bit ashamed. It turned out that everything his elder brother did was for the Family. He had actually doubted his elder brother and misunderstood his elder brother’s painstaking efforts. He was truly a scoundrel!

Xu Qing’s face showed a teachable smile, but in his heart, he was amused. Isn’t it easy to fool a child?

“Go and prepare! Go see your future wife!” Xu Qing said with a smile!

“Yes, elder brother!”

Xu Yuan straightened his body and walked out of the great hall, as if he had accepted some powerful sense of mission!

“Little brother! Don’t blame elder brother. Marriage is a tomb. If you don’t go to Hell, who will? Besides, our old Xu Family still needs to continue the Family line so that our parents’ spirits in heaven can rest in peace!”

“So, you’ve worked hard! To compensate you, elder brother will find you ten or eight more wives later…”

Xu Qing looked at his little brother’s retreating figure, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Afterwards, his mind calmed down. During this period, he had been comprehending a Divine Ability!

While Cultivating the Chaos Sutra King Scroll Mind-Cultivation Technique, Xu Qing obtained a Divine Ability—the Great Chaos Technique!

This is a Divine Ability hailed as the First Eternal Dao Method. Its Origin is untraceable, seemingly coming from the very beginning of this world’s evolution, when the world was a complete Chaos, with no sun or moon, and certainly no myriad races!

According to the Chaos Sutra, the existence who originally created the Chaos Sutra did so based on the Great Chaos Technique, which then led to the creation of the Chaos Sutra suitable for Cultivating the Chaos Dao Body!

The Great Chaos Technique is hailed as the First Eternal Dao Method precisely because it encompasses everything and can evolve all methods!

It records the myriad methods of heaven and earth, including the Chaos Five Elements Method, Chaos Lightning Method, Chaos Wind Method, and so on. Each method has reached the Eternal Dao Method level. Within these Divine Abilities, the ultimate mystery of the Great Chaos Technique is hidden, but countless ages have passed, and no one has comprehended this mystery!

The existence who originally created the Chaos Sutra Cultivated the Chaos Lightning Method. Upon reaching Major Achievement, he could summon the Great Destruction Chaos Divine Lightning to attack enemies. The power of this Divine Lightning was such that ordinary Great Emperors would surely die if they touched it!

Solely relying on the Chaos Lightning Method, that existence stood out among many Great Emperors, suppressing them, and dominating for eons, earning the title Primordial Thunder Emperor!

Unfortunately, the word “Eternal” bound this terrifying existence. Even with his extraordinary talent, he was never able to take that final step. It wasn’t until just before his death that he comprehended the profound mystery of Breakthrough to Eternal, creating the final step of the Chaos Sutra, bringing his created Cultivation Technique to the Eternal Dao Method level!

However, at this point, he was already at the end of his life and had no time to prepare any means. He ultimately died with regret, leaving behind this Heaven-acknowledged Chaos Sutra to be revered for all time!

And because of the Five Elements Concept, what Xu Qing comprehended was the Chaos Five Elements Method!

The Chaos Five Elements Method, also known as the Great Five Elements Technique, is the ultimate Divine Ability of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. Upon its completion, one can reverse the Five Elements, possessing the Origin power of the Five Elements, one of the nine great Origins of Heaven and Earth at the dawn of creation.

At that time, one could achieve the Great emperor fruit position by relying on the Origin power of the Five Elements!

In the era of the Primordial Thunder Emperor, there was also a Great Emperor who proved his Dao and became Emperor through the Dao of Five Elements, and his Five Elements Emperor Dao Divine Ability earned him great renown among the Emperors!

It’s a pity that the other party did not have the Chaos Five Elements Method, otherwise his strength would certainly not have been inferior to the Primordial Thunder Emperor!

To Cultivate the Chaos Five Elements Method, the minimum requirement is to master the Five Elements Concept, and now his Five Elements Concept has reached Perfection, making it perfectly suitable for Cultivating the Chaos Five Elements Method!

While Xu Qing was comprehending, Xu Song and others followed Steward Wang, leaving Cloud Mist Mountain to go to the Wang Family to propose marriage!

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Yuan looked a little nervous. After all, this was a marriage proposal, his first time in life. Even as a Sword Cultivator, his Heart-Nature was already tough enough, but he was still nervous!

So he couldn’t help but carefully recall Xu Qing’s words, and gradually, his young face became more determined…
