97: Xuanhuang Pavilion is built, and Xu Qing comes out of seclusion

“Earlier, I mentioned the Prodigy Tournament. In half a year, the top 300 Prodigies from various Great Domains will head to the Xuangu Domain to participate in the True Dragon Tournament. This tournament will determine two rankings. The first is the true dragon rankings, which will list the top 100 Prodigies of the True Dragon Tournament.”

“The second ranking is the hidden dragon list, which will include Prodigies from 101st to 300th place. Both rankings will be spread throughout the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.”

“Furthermore, the top 300 will receive one Opportunity to Cultivate in the Myriad Spirit Blood Pool; the top 200 will each have two opportunities to Cultivate in the Myriad Spirit Blood Pool, plus a Heavenly King Realm Cultivation Technique.”

“The top 100 will receive three Cultivation opportunities, a Venerable-level Cultivation Technique, and a Venerable-level Martial Skill; the top 10 will be granted a Profound Venerable Cultivation Technique and a Profound Venerable Martial Skill, and can become Disciples of the Profound Yellow Pavilion, with their backing forces protected by the Profound Yellow Pavilion for ten thousand years!”

“As for the first place in this true dragon rankings, our Xu Family will bestow upon him an Opportunity. As for what this Opportunity is, this Old Ancestor will keep it a secret for now. All expenses for this grand competition will be handled by our Xu Family, and thereafter by the Profound Yellow Pavilion.”

Listening to Xu Ming’s words, the various forces went wild. This was the Xu Family; their generosity was truly extraordinary.

They didn't know what the Myriad Spirit Blood Pool was, but since it was offered by the Xu Family, it was definitely extraordinary.

However, what they cared about was the Venerable-level Cultivation Technique.

In the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds, there were fewer than 200 Venerable-level and above forces. A Venerable-level Cultivation Technique, even in a Profound Venerable force, could be considered a foundational treasure.

But now, just by entering the top 100, one could obtain Venerable-level Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills. Even if they were duplicates, they were still Venerable-level techniques, so how could they not be excited?

And the reward for the top 10, a Profound Venerable-level technique!

Excluding the Xu Family, there were only five forces in the entire Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds that currently possessed Profound Venerables, and four Heavenly Venerable forces. One could imagine the preciousness of a Profound Venerable-level technique.

And this was not what truly shocked them. What shocked them was entering the Profound Yellow Pavilion. Everyone anticipated that the Profound Yellow Prefecture would be the ruler of the various Great Domains in the future, and as a higher-level Profound Yellow Pavilion, its authority would encompass the entire Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.

And for the top 10 to be able to become Disciples of the Profound Yellow Pavilion, they would undoubtedly become important figures in the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds in the future.

Therefore, for the various forces, this ranking reward already surpassed other rewards, even the first-place reward, because the first-place reward was unknown to them.

People always prefer what is tangible, even if the unknown reward is the most precious one.

“Genius, the Opportunity has been given to you. How you contend for it is up to you!” Xu Ming smiled humbly.

His words made all the Genius incredibly excited, their faces flushed with emotion. A Heavenly Venerable was encouraging them.

“As for this fourth matter…”

Xu Ming smiled and looked at Wang Changfeng below. The latter immediately stood up and then cupped his hands to the Venerables.

Seeing that the other party was only a Heavenly King, everyone's expressions held some doubt.

“Let me introduce everyone, this is Wang Changfeng, and he is also the future Pavilion Master of the Profound Yellow Pavilion!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

“Changfeng greets everyone. By the Young Lord’s grace, I will take charge of the Profound Yellow Pavilion. In the future, I will need everyone’s convenience!”

Wang Changfeng smiled and cupped his hands to the crowd.

“Pavilion Master Wang is joking. In the future, should anything arise, please inform my Xue Family, and my Xue Family is willing to offer its humble services.”

“That’s right! Pavilion Master Wang!”

“…”

The various Venerables all rose and saluted Wang Changfeng.

Although Wang Changfeng was only a Heavenly King, for him to achieve the position of Pavilion Master of the Profound Yellow Pavilion at the Heavenly King Realm, his identity was by no means ordinary; he was definitely a trusted confidant of the Xu Family.

Xu Ming's words were still fresh in their ears, so they naturally dared not underestimate Wang Changfeng.

Xu Ming smiled as he watched this scene. Allowing the Wang Family to take charge of the Profound Yellow Pavilion was Xu Qing's command, and he highly approved of it. After all, the Wang Family and the Xu Family were in-Laws.

Furthermore, they were among the earliest forces to pledge allegiance to the Xu Family, so entrusting them with the Profound Yellow Pavilion gave them great peace of mind.

Several days passed in a flash. All the forces left the Xu Family and rushed back to their respective Domain Worlds to prepare for the grand competition a month later. Meanwhile, the Profound Yellow Pavilion also began to operate.

In the entire Profound Yellow Pavilion, Wang Changfeng served as the Pavilion Master, with several Grand Elder seats above him, and two Deputy Pavilion Masters and a number of Elders below.

The former Tiangang Sect had already disbanded, and all the Venerables became Elders of the Profound Yellow Pavilion. These individuals were all Xu Qing's servants, so their loyalty was naturally unquestionable.

The Tiangang Sect Master became a Deputy Pavilion Master, and the Tiangang Old Ancestor became one of the Grand Elders. His Cultivation was also elevated to Profound Venerable Perfection.

In addition, Wang Xuanming also became a Grand Elder of the Profound Yellow Pavilion, and the Xue Family Old Ancestor, Xue Xuanzhi, became one of the Elders.

As for other deacons and personnel of various subordinate agencies, they were filled by people from the Ming Domain, Xuangu Domain, and some loyal individuals from the Tiangang Sect.

These individuals were either the Wang Family's core team, people recommended by the Xue Family, or Personal Disciples of the Tiangang Sect's Venerables, etc., so there were no issues regarding their loyalty.

In a short time, the Profound Yellow Pavilion was established and began to seek locations in the centers of various Great Domains to construct the Profound Yellow Prefecture buildings. Of course, all the necessary expenses did not require the Profound Yellow Pavilion to pay; local forces actively contributed money and effort.

A month later, the Prodigy Grand Competition in each Domain was held as scheduled. For this competition, the minimum standard for participants was the Fengwang Realm, and anyone under the age of 100 could participate; those at the Mystic King Realm could participate if they were under 300 years old; and those at the Heavenly King Realm were limited to under 500 years old.

100 years for a Mortal is equivalent to a lifetime, but for a Fengwang Realm practitioner with a Lifespan of 3,000 years, it's less than one-tenth of their life, considered to be among the younger generation.

The same applies to the Mystic King Realm and Heavenly King Realm settings. To achieve such accomplishments within that timeframe already puts one in the ranks of Prodigy, albeit ordinary Prodigy.

After half a month of grand competition, the top 100 Disciples were finally decided in each Great Domain. At this time, the Xu Family once again demonstrated its profound power, spending a large amount of resources to construct a Cultivation ground for these top 100 Disciples.

Although they could only Cultivate for a little over a month before participating in the Prodigy Grand Competition, it would ultimately aid their Cultivation.

At the same time, inside the Taiji Hall, Xu Qing had undergone earth-shattering changes.

He sat there, his entire body enveloped by incredibly profound Dao rhyme power. The surroundings became extremely oppressive due to his presence, exuding endless majesty and mystery.

“Buzz!”

An invisible force instantly enveloped the entire hall. Everything around him disappeared, and Xu Qing found himself in a mysterious, Transcendent world where everything was under his control.

With a thought, the Five Elements evolved into being; with a wave of his hand, terrifying heavenly lightning was summoned at will; as his eyes opened, one black and one white pupil released terrifying power.

“I’ve finally constructed my Heavenly Venerable Domain!”

Xu Qing smiled faintly.

He dared not claim his Heavenly Venerable Domain was the first in all of history, but he doubted anyone on the current Eternal Continent could achieve what he had: taking the Supreme Dao of Chaos as the main, supplemented by the two Supreme Dao of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the High-grade Dao of Thunder.

He didn't believe anyone could construct such a powerful and extravagant Heavenly Venerable Domain.

With his current strength, he could even suppress and kill a Divine Venerable at Perfection.

As for the Sealing Sovereign Realm, he hadn't fought one, so he didn't know, but he could at most defeat an Early Stage Sealing Sovereign Realm existence, because Royal Sealing Realm powerhouses were beings who had comprehended Law.

Law was a manifestation that transcended rules. One could say the gap between them was insurmountable. Even the rule power of the Supreme Dao could at most crush the Law of a Mid-grade Dao, and that was only when the Law power hadn't reached Perfection.

Withdrawing his Heavenly Venerable Domain, Xu Qing opened the System and glanced at his System panel, his expression immediately showing surprise.
