56: Chapter 56: Explosive Rewards, Saint Level Nine!

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Xuan was still standing.

His domineering voice seemed to still be echoing over the Imperial Capital.

However, his mind had already been flooded with a massive amount of information.

[Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding]

The System notification sound was no longer a crisp chime.

It was a dense, explosive roar, as dense as rain.

The light screen was madly scrolling before his eyes.

It was so fast that even his Divine Thought could not keep up.

[Successfully conferred the title of "Spirit Concubine" on one person, obtained 1,000 years of cultivation.]

[Successfully conferred the title of "Spirit Concubine" on one person, obtained Earth Rank Cultivation Technique "Mysterious Water Art".]

[Successfully conferred the title of "Spirit Concubine" on one person, obtained Marquis-level Magic Treasure "Dragon-Binding Rope".]

Three thousand rays of golden light.

Three thousand rewards.

These treasures, which were rare in the outside world, were now being stuffed into his inventory by the System in large quantities.

Li Xuan swept his Divine Thought over them, too lazy to look closely.

His gaze was locked onto a few special notifications shining with brilliant golden light.

[Ding! Successfully conferred the title on a special Destiny holder — "Alchemy Spirit Holy Body"! Overall rating SSS! Triggered 100x critical hit! Reward: Ancient Alchemy Canon — "Shennong Alchemy Classic".]

Boom.

A massive amount of insights into Alchemy flooded into Li Xuan's Divine Soul.

The creation of the Universe, the birth of the first Spirit Medicine.

To this day, all the mysteries of Alchemy changes and pharmacological evolution.

All of this was poured into his brain.

He felt as if he had become the Ancestor of Alchemy.

He understood the medicinal properties of all spirit plants and realized how to use stars as furnaces and the sun and moon as fire to refine Divine Pills.

"My son's God of Wealth Destiny, just by crying, he can produce a few pieces of Innate Divine Gold, coupled with my Alchemy skills..."

A thought popped into his mind.

"Could the children's spicy stick recipe be upgraded again in the future?"

Before he could think about it further, another System notification exploded.

[Ding! Successfully conferred the title on a special Destiny holder — "Array Dao Fetus"! Overall rating SSS! Triggered 1000x critical hit! Congratulations, Host, for completing the number one ancient killing formation — Zhou Tian Star Array (Complete Version).]

The incomplete starry sky formation map in his Divine Soul lit up.

The two major missing formation eyes.

Sun Star.

Lunar Star.

They lit up with a bang.

The phantoms of two ancient stars rose in the center of the formation map, and it seemed as if all the stars in the sky were paying homage to them.

Three hundred and sixty-five Great Zhou Tian Star Banners.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred Small Zhou Tian Star Banners.

Refinement methods, deployment methods, activation methods.

Everything was perfect.

Li Xuan understood.

As long as he wanted to, this Saint-slaying formation could be projected into reality immediately.

With this formation, the Great Xia Divine Dynasty finally had a true trump card.

"Beautiful!"

Li Xuan secretly praised in his heart.

The Yuhua Dynasty didn't send maids; they clearly sent the puzzle pieces he desperately needed.

Immediately after, there were several more heavyweight rewards.

[Ding! Successfully conferred the title on twelve "Phoenix Bloodline Descendants"! Overall rating S! Triggered Bloodline Resonance! Reward: Divine Ability — "Phoenix True Fire".]

[Ding! Successfully conferred the title on "Natural Sword Heart"! Overall rating S! Reward: Law — "Geng Metal Sword Dao Law" fragments x7.]

Each item was a supreme treasure that even a Saint would find hard to obtain.

Just when Li Xuan thought the carnival was about to end.

A notification sound rang out in his Divine Soul.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the epic hidden achievement — "A Thousand Concubines Arrive".]

[The total Luck value of the harem has exceeded the threshold! The Foundation of the Divine Dynasty's national fortune has skyrocketed tenfold.]

[Performing final reward settlement.]

[Merging all fragmented rewards, performing super sublimation.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the unique ultimate reward — Dao Empowerment.]

"Dao Empowerment?"

Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment.

A wave of Dao energy appeared out of thin air and poured into his body.

It was not Spiritual Qi, nor was it Immortal Qi.

It was pure "Dao".

It was the pure power of creation sublimated from the Luck of three thousand women after being amplified ten thousand times by the System.

Rumble.

The cultivation barrier of the Venerable Realm Third Layer within Li Xuan shattered in the face of this power.

Venerable Realm Fourth Layer.

Venerable Realm Fifth Layer.

Venerable Realm Sixth Layer.

His aura rose steadily.

His Venerable Domain was constantly shattered, reorganized, and evolved under the scouring of this power.

One thousand zhang, three thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound,

The Domain completely collapsed.

Above the ruins, a hazy, chaotic prototype of a Small World began to evolve.

Here, he made the rules.

This was a Saint.

He had entered the Saint Realm.

However, this was just the beginning.

More than ninety-nine percent of that Dao power was still accumulated within his body.

[Ding! Host's Foundation is stable, Dao Empowerment officially begins.]

Boom.

Li Xuan felt as if he were at the singularity of the Universe's beginning.

His cultivation continued to climb after stepping into the Saint Realm First Layer.

Saint Realm Second Layer.

His Small World gave birth to the first ray of light, piercing through the Chaos.

Saint Realm Third Layer.

Within the Small World, heaven and earth separated, and the clear and turbid Qi returned to their respective places.

Saint Realm Fourth Layer.

Earth, fire, water, and wind raged, evolving the most basic Four Symbols Laws.

Li Xuan's body was trembling; such a rapid method of improvement would be enough to burst an ordinary Saint Body, but his Physical Body was already powerful, and after being remodeled by the Dao power, it became even tougher.

Saint Realm Fifth Layer.

Saint Realm Sixth Layer.

Saint Realm Seventh Layer.

Without any obstacles.

Every Breakthrough in a small Realm represented the comprehension and mastery of one or several Dao Laws.

A normal Saint, wanting to cultivate from the First Layer to the Second Layer, often needs to spend a thousand years of hard cultivation and wait for an Opportunity.

But Li Xuan now was simply cheating.

The System poured all the Dao Laws directly into his mind.

Making it impossible for him not to understand.

When his cultivation broke through the Seventh Layer and stepped into the Saint Realm Eighth Layer, the Small World within him had already fully evolved.

Mountains, rivers, vegetation, appeared one by one.

Even tiny creatures without intelligence were born.

The power of the empowerment had been consumed by seventy or eighty percent and began to weaken.

"Is that it?"

A thought flashed through Li Xuan's mind.

Instantly, the "Lunar Mark" he left on Su Muxue and Li Qingyue, and the "Ancient Desolate Saint Body Mark" he left in his eldest son Li Changsheng's body, suddenly vibrated in unison.

At the same time, the "Wealth" rune on the forehead of the third prince, Li Yuanbao, who had just been born not long ago and was sleeping soundly, suddenly lit up.

[Ding! Detected feedback of Luck from offspring! Triggered final critical hit!]

Boom.

The final wave of Dao power surged again, helping him rush to the end of the Saint Realm.

Saint Realm Ninth Layer.

It was done.

The Small World within Li Xuan was completely stabilized.

The sun, moon, and stars were all in their places, all things grew, and the Laws were complete.

It was practically an independently operating real world.

His aura climbed to the Peak.

Saint Realm Ninth Layer.

Only one step away from the Great Emperor Realm.

A long time later.

The strange phenomena inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation subsided.

Li Xuan stood quietly.

He opened his eyes.

In those eyes, there was no divine light, no majesty.

Only a piece of calm.

In his vision, the whole world had changed.

He could see that the dust floating in the air was composed of countless chains of Laws.

He could see time.

Flowing like a long river.

He reached out his hand and could scoop up a splash of water.

He could even see, above the head of a certain young eunuch outside the hall, a line of Karma representing Lifespan was burning.

Only a few inches remained.

This was the world of the Saint Realm Ninth Layer.

Li Xuan raised his hand and squeezed gently.

The surrounding space cracked open and then instantly healed under his will.

He did not use any magic power.

It was just a thought.

He felt that he could control everything.

He smiled.

"From today on, the Eastern Wasteland is under my command."
