547: Break through the late stage of the master!

This parchment map was obtained from the Marquis Chonghu back then.

At that time, Qin Shuo sent Ouyang Mingyue to humble herself and go to Marquis Chonghu's home, with the goal of obtaining this parchment map.

Marquis Chonghu, sensing that Ouyang Mingyue was not simple, played along and gave her a fake parchment map, which Ouyang Mingyue then delivered to the First Prince, Qin Shuo.

After the First Prince, Qin Shuo, received the parchment map, there were no further developments.

He probably didn't know if it was real or fake.

Xu Hua had asked what the parchment map was back then, and Ouyang Mingyue said she didn't know either.

Later, when Xu Hua killed Marquis Chonghu, Marquis Chonghu offered to exchange the parchment map for his life, but he was still killed.

But he had also asked Marquis Chonghu what the parchment map was.

He also said he didn't know.

So Xu Hua was puzzled, what exactly was this parchment map?

Secondly, where did Marquis Chonghu, a mere Lords, pick up this parchment map?

Of course, Xu Hua didn't say it out loud.

Instead, he silently kept this matter in his heart.

When he Cultivates to Ascension in the future, he can then ask Old Ancestor Donghuang Taiyi and Old Ancestor Nansheng about the situation to see how Emperor Gan ultimately fell.

Of course, the premise is that he has the opportunity to Breakthrough to Ascension.

Throughout the Great Gan Territory, there are many masters. There are estimated to be dozens of Great Master Late Stage experts, and on the Far West side alone, there are six Great Master Late Stage Peak experts: Black Eagle King, Zhang Xian of the Great Puppet Sect, Zhao Yangfeng, the Vice Sect Head, and the Sect Head Yaoguang of the Jade Light Sect, Bai Yuling.

Adding those from the Southern Land and the East Sea Archipelago, all forces combined, there are estimated to be nearly thirty Great Master Late Stage Peak experts.

Mainly, Xu Hua didn't understand the forces of the Da Gan Four Regions before, but now he has a clearer understanding.

This Crimson Ranking competition is to qualify the Far West to participate in Dragon Beard Holy Mountain.

It is estimated that when the Dragon Beard Holy Mountain Secret Realm opens, there should be things inside that can greatly enhance a Martial Artist's strength, otherwise, why would the few bigshots from the Far West be so eager?

Thinking of the Dragon Beard Holy Mountain Secret Realm opening, Xu Hua also felt a bit excited. This time, he would be able to witness various bigshots contending, but of course, it would also be fraught with danger.

After all, the forces of the East Sea Archipelago and the Southern Land will certainly be fraught with danger.

So, he still needs to Breakthrough to Great Master Late Stage as soon as possible to be safest.

Let's compete in the Crimson Ranking first.

After the banquet ended.

Xu Hua thought of something, he smiled and cleared his throat twice.

Zhao Yangfeng, Zhang Xian, and Black Eagle King naturally understood instantly.

"You brat, don't worry, what was agreed upon won't be shorted." Zhao Yangfeng smiled, waved his hand, and a Storage Pouch appeared.

"Two billion, count it yourself."

Immediately after, Zhang Xian also took out two billion, "Huazi, keep it safe."

Black Eagle King did the same.

A total of six billion, instantly in hand.

Xu Hua was overjoyed. With the four billion he already had, that was a grand total of ten billion.

Ten billion True Essence Pills, this was an immense sum.

This time, Xu Hua felt that his Breakthrough to Great Master Late Stage would be incredibly easy.

Last time, it cost two billion to Breakthrough to Great Lord Middle Stage Peak.

However, Great Lord Middle Stage Peak and Great Master Late Stage are completely different levels. Although they seem similar, the actual difference is too vast.

Just like Qin Shuo, a Great Lord Middle Stage Peak, he was extremely arrogant and suppressed all the other princes.

But when he faced the Blood Demon Sect Elder, Blood Demon Old Monster Han Chunqiu, he was like a dog.

He even betrayed his country for glory and ascended to the throne, harming his own Great Gan citizens to fawn over Han Chunqiu.

Because Great Master Late Stage is too difficult to Breakthrough, it requires a significant amount of resources.

Otherwise, why would the entire Great Qian Dynasty not have a single Great Master Late Stage expert, except for Emperor Gan sixty years ago and his four major subordinates?

However, Emperor Gan and his four subordinates all perished.

Therefore, Great Gan never recovered.

Not to mention the Great Qian Dynasty, even the Great Master Late Stage experts in the Da Gan Four Regions combined are not many, only a few dozen, all top Elders in various major forces.

A Great Lord Middle Stage Peak wanting to Breakthrough to Great Master Late Stage requires at least three times the resources needed to Breakthrough from Mid-stage of the Grandmaster Realm to Great Lord Middle Stage Peak. For those with poor aptitude, it requires four or five times the resources.

Last time Xu Hua made a Breakthrough, it cost him two billion.

So this time, it will require at least five to six billion, and if it's a bit short, it might require eight billion.

Of course, with ten billion now, Xu Hua is not worried about this problem.

Next.

Xu Hua arranged accommodation for the four Seniors.

They were arranged to stay in the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Yangfeng, Zhang Xian, and Black Eagle King, the three of them, refused, saying they didn't like staying in the Imperial Palace. The three of them each found a mountain to Cultivate on.

They probably wanted to Cultivate secret techniques.

After all, once Xu Hua enters the top ten of the Crimson Ranking, he will enter the Dragon Beard Holy Mountain Secret Realm, which will be extremely dangerous. Increasing one's strength will certainly provide a guarantee.

Bai Yuling, however, stayed in the Imperial Palace.

Bai Yuling quickly got to know Princess Qin Yao, gave her some pointers, and passed on some of the Jade Light Sect's Cultivation Techniques to Princess Qin Yao.

Princess Qin Yao also called her Sister Bai.

The relationship between the two women became much closer.

Soon.

Night fell.

Xu Hua and Princess Qin Yao stayed together.

In the evening.

The two exchanged some intimate words.

Then they began to get busy.

Afterward.

Princess Qin Yao's little face was flushed from exhaustion.

"You still haven't said what you and these few powerful individuals from the Far West are going to do. Tell me, so I can be at ease," Princess Qin Yao asked softly.

"I'm going to help them compete in the Crimson Ranking. The Crimson Ranking gathers the young generation's powerhouses of the Far West. If I make it into the top ten, the few powerful individuals from the Far West can participate in the Dragon Beard Holy Mountain Secret Realm. Of course, I will also be qualified."

Princess Qin Yao nodded upon hearing this: "You must be extremely careful."

"Don't worry."

At dawn.

Xu Hua found a place to enter seclusion.

He would depart three days later, which should be enough time to Breakthrough to Great Master Late Stage.

As expected.

On the third day, Xu Hua consumed six billion True Essence Pills, and finally, a '+' sign appeared next to the Cultivation Technique on his data panel.

This Cultivation Technique was precisely the Purple Profound True Skill.

Xu Hua showed a joyful expression.

He gently tapped it directly.

In an instant, the Purple Profound True Skill reached the fifth Realm.

Although this Purple Profound True Skill was obtained from Qin Shuo's side, the Cultivation Technique was not weak. It is said that Emperor Gan once created it.

Of course, Xu Hua Cultivating this was merely a transition.

Upon reaching Ascension, he possessed the Shura Purgatory Skill. Such a Cultivation Technique was truly overbearing to the extreme.

Soon.

Xu Hua flew out of an Immortal Cave.

This time.

His strength had greatly increased. Whether it was speed, strength, or defense, he had become much stronger.

Now, if he were to face Blood Fiend, he could contend with him without using his trump cards, and by using his Shura Dharma Form and Fury of the Wind God, he could kill him!

In other words, Xu Hua now possessed the strength to kill Great Master Late Stage Peak powerhouses!

So, competing in this Crimson Ranking.

There was no pressure at all!
