99: Yun Qian comes out of seclusion, Silver Snow Sky Dragon

"Mm!" Xu Qing nodded. "Your cultivation is too weak. This is a Divine Venerable Rank identity card. Although it's only Middle Stage Divine Venerable, it's enough for self-preservation."

"Thank you, Young Lord, for the bestowal!"

Deng Changyun was overjoyed.

Following Xu Qing was the most correct thing he had ever done in his life. Since following Xu Qing, he had personally witnessed the rise of this Family step by step.

As the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Offerings, he held a high position of power and could participate in the Elder Council meetings. Now, he had even found a second spring in his life, marrying a daughter of the Xu Family, and she was now pregnant.

All of this was given to him by Xu Qing, so he respected Xu Qing from the bottom of his heart.

Now, he was about to become a Divine Venerable mighty expert. How could such a great favor not excite him?

"Go! I hope that in half a year, my Xu Family's army will step on the Sect ruins of the Thirteen Sects and declare the Divine Might of my Xu Family to the Hundred Domains Land!"

Half a year was mostly for travel. When the Thirteen Sects' Heavenly Venerables descended upon the Land of Thousand Domains, it took them about a month. With the appearance of the Void Realm, Xu Qing wanted to forge more war weapons, so he set the time for half a year later.

"Yes, Young Lord!"

Deng Changyun departed with his mission.

A white crystal, emanating a mysterious aura, appeared in Xu Qing's hand. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space subtly solidified a bit.

"Is this the Heart of Space?"

Xu Qing frowned. Currently, the Treasure Pavilion was limited by its Rank and had not been upgraded, so it couldn't open Royal Rank treasures. Naturally, he couldn't exchange for the Heart of Space.

However, he was clearly unwilling to give a Heart of Space of this Rank to his younger brother. It should at least be High Grade, or even a Peerless Grade Heart of Space.

"That's right!"

Xu Qing thought of something.

"Dark Moon! This is for you to play with!"

Xu Qing gave the Low Grade Heart of Space to Dark Moon, who was delighted and curiously ran off, biting it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for investing in a Family Spirit Beast, triggering a ten thousand times Investment Return, returning a Peerless Grade Heart of Space.]

Xu Qing didn't expect it to actually work.

He hadn't used Investment Return for a long time. It was a pity that cultivation rewards and identity card rewards couldn't be used for Investment Return. The System directly prevented Xu Qing from 'nesting' the rewards, otherwise Xu Qing would just have to wait for his cultivation to skyrocket.

His figure vanished, and Xu Qing appeared in a gloomy world. At this moment, the sounds of battle ahead shook the heavens. Countless Sword Law permeated the Void Realm, intimidating a region spanning thousands of miles.

In his line of sight, a young man was decisively killing his enemies, leaving a river of blood wherever he went.

"This kid's Destruction Sword Dao hasn't grown much, but his Slaughter Law has actually reached the Major Achievement Realm!"

Xu Qing watched Xu Yuan slaughtering all sides and couldn't help but smile.

Among the Three Thousand Dao, two Dao were the most special: one was the Dao of Slaughter, and the other was the Dao of Strength.

Why were these two Dao considered special? Because when these two Dao were cultivated to the extreme, they would break through their own Rank. For example, the Dao of Slaughter: there was once a being who, through continuous slaughter, comprehended its Profound Truth and eventually, relying on the Dao of Slaughter, once defied and defeated the controllers of the Ten Supreme Dao.

The Dao of Strength was similar. It was rumored that a giant once proved his Dao with strength, using one force to overcome ten skills, crushing a powerful Emperor Dao expert who was thought to control the Dao of Annihilation, becoming an existence that suppressed several eras.

He didn't expect his younger brother to be a young God of Slaughter.

"Big Brother, you can find me?"

Upon seeing Xu Qing, Xu Yuan quickly dealt with his enemies and then came to Xu Qing's side, retracting the bloody Slaughter aura into his body.

"Not bad!" Xu Qing praised him.

Xu Yuan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

"This is for you!"

Xu Qing handed him the Peerless Grade Heart of Space.

"This is..."

Xu Qing smiled, "A Peerless Grade Heart of Space, an excellent Materials for condensing a Royal's Minor Heaven and Earth. Once you have constructed your Divine Venerable Domain and your nine Law are at Perfection, you can begin to Breakthrough to the Sealing Sovereign Realm."

"Big Brother, don't worry, I will construct my Divine Venerable Domain in the shortest possible time," Xu Yuan promised.

"That's good!"

Xu Qing nodded. Xu Yuan had his own path, and he didn't need to interfere.

"Keep up the good work!"

After saying that, Xu Qing's figure disappeared, and Xu Yuan advanced deeper.

After returning to the main hall, Xu Qing took out a Law emanating spatial aura. This was returned after he gave it to Xu Yuan earlier, and it was actually a Perfection Rank Spatial Law.

After carefully putting it away, Xu Qing took out another item: a blood pool emanating a mysterious power.

This was a return gift after he had silently infused a newly acquired Innate Sword Royal Physique into Xu Yuan's body. It was a Royal Grade Myriad Spirit Blood Pool.

However, to open the blood pool, Divine Crystals were needed, which the current Xu Family clearly couldn't provide.

Xu Qing could only temporarily place it deep within the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool Palace, and then he walked around the Family, infusing various Physiques into deserving Family members.

In the following month, these people would all enter the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool Palace to Awaken Venerable Physiques or Royal Physiques.

After doing all this, Xu Qing raised the cultivation of nine people, including Xu Ming, Hai Dagui, Zhu Yuan, Zhu Haibo, Qian Duoduo, Wang Xuanming, Wang Changfeng, Tiangang Old Ancestor, and Tiangang Sect Master, to the Divine Venerable Realm.

Xu Ming, Hai Dagui, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Haibo were all at Divine Venerable Perfection, while Wang Xuanming and Tiangang Old Ancestor were at Late Stage Divine Venerable. Wang Changfeng and Tiangang Sect Master were at Middle Stage Divine Venerable.

He also raised all eighteen current Elders of the Profound Yellow Pavilion to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

After all this, Xu Qing handed the remaining Heavenly Venerable identity cards to Xu Ming, asking him to select a group of people from the Family whose potential had reached its limit, and form a seventy-two-person Family Dark Guard.

These individuals were subordinate to the Elder Council and would secretly clear all obstacles for the Xu Family.

Everything returned to calm, and Xu Qing entered seclusion, preparing to Breakthrough to Divine Venerable.

"Roar!"

Just then, a terrifying Dragon roar echoed through Cloud Mist Mountain. At the same time, an extremely brilliant light emanated from the direction of the Spirit Beast Hall, soaring into the sky, and a terrifying Divine Might radiated from it.

When the light dispersed, a ten-thousand-foot-long silver-white True Dragon appeared. Simultaneously, snow fell heavily and cold winds howled across an area of several thousand miles.

That's right, it was a True Dragon, a True Dragon that truly possessed the nine resemblances of a Dragon.

He broke through!

Xu Qing looked at Yun Qian in the sky, a smile on his face.

After that drop of Golden Dragon essence blood and various Dragon Clan treasures from the Family, and several months of dedicated seclusion, Yun Qian finally broke through and reached the Divine Venerable Perfection level.

With his strength, beings of the same Rank were basically no match for him.

[Silver Snow Sky Dragon: A lineage of Sky Dragons, a High Grade Divine Dragon among the True Dragon Clan. The Silver Snow Sky Dragon is a group within the Sky Dragon lineage that controls ice and snow power. Its combat strength is extremely powerful, and the cold it releases can instantly freeze a Domain. It possesses powerful ice and snow Divine Ability.]

So it was a Silver Snow Sky Dragon. Xu Qing had heard of the Sky Dragon Clan in his previous life. They were Dragons of the Heavenly Realm, born in the Heavenly Realm, never touching the mortal dust throughout their lives. Their sole belief was to guard the Heavenly Court's palaces.

Legend has it that in the Jade Huang Great Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall, eight powerful and Supreme Sky Dragons coiled around the eight Heavenly Pillars that supported the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

This showed the power of the Sky Dragon Clan!

"Yun Qian greets Master!"

In the main hall, Yun Qian had already returned to his human form.

"Not bad! After not seeing you for several months, your strength has increased to a shocking degree!" Xu Qing laughed. "Perfect, in the great war half a year from now, you shall lead the vanguard!"

"Yes, Master!"

Although he didn't know what great war Xu Qing was referring to, if it was his master's command, he would fight.

After Yun Qian left, Xu Qing also planned to Breakthrough.
