132: Chapter 132 The Increasingly Chaotic Eastern Xuan Continent

Two months passed quickly.

During these two months, undercurrents surged throughout the Eastern Profound Continent. Even Xia Jin, who had been staying in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, felt several powerful auras emerge, though they quickly vanished again.

Xia Jin didn't mind. As long as they didn't invade the Eastern Region or trespass on Great Xia territory, he didn't care to bother with them.

After all, with his current cultivation, very few people could pose a threat to him.

Moreover, during this time, he also took the time to specifically train an elite force for Great Xia.

As for the two women, Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji, with the help of his daily cleansing of their marrow and meridians, they both finally achieved a Breakthrough into the Land Immortal Realm that countless Martial Artists dreamed of.

On this day, Emperor Xia Yu, having finished handling government affairs, came to the small courtyard where Xia Jin was staying, accompanied by Commander Qin Hu.

"Big Brother!" Emperor Xia Yu shouted loudly before even seeing him, walking in quickly with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Why are you shouting so early in the morning? What's wrong with you?" Xia Jin leaned back in his armchair, looking somewhat helplessly at Emperor Xia Yu as he approached.

Emperor Xia Yu sat down directly beside Xia Jin and said excitedly, "Thanks to your help lately, Big Brother, I finally have a real blade. The feeling of having a blade in hand... is truly wonderful! Now that the hidden dangers in the Eastern Region have been cleared, it's truly as solid as a monolith!"

"Alright, enough nonsense. Just say what you want to say; stop beating around the bush!" One look at Emperor Xia Yu's face and Xia Jin knew he had an ulterior motive.

Emperor Xia Yu chuckled awkwardly, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Big Brother, since the Eastern Region is now completely under Great Xia's control, should we... also consider incorporating the Central Region into the Great Xia territory?"

Xia Jin looked at Emperor Xia Yu calmly but shook his head gently.

"Hmm?" Emperor Xia Yu's brows furrowed slightly in confusion. After all, Xia Jin had previously said that once the Eastern Region was completely under Great Xia, the next goal would be the entire continent.

Especially with Xia Jin's current strength, it should be no trouble at all for Great Xia to annex the entire continent.

"Big Brother, why is that?" Emperor Xia Yu asked the question on his mind.

"If it were two months ago, taking over the Central Region wouldn't be an issue at all." Xia Jin sat up straight and glanced at the temple order in his hand. "But now, it won't work."

He lifted the temple order and waved it in front of Emperor Xia Yu.

"You mean..." Emperor Xia Yu glanced at the jade pendant in Xia Jin's hand, faintly guessing the reason. "Are you worried that the legendary Divine Envoy... will descend upon the Eastern Profound Continent?"

"Exactly." Xia Jin nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Lately, I've sensed several powerful auras appearing one after another. Since those people haven't entered my Eastern Region, I haven't bothered with them! But as the center of the Eastern Profound Continent, I expect the Central Region will likely become a battlefield."

"The Eastern Profound Continent... is about to undergo a great change. Spreading ourselves too thin isn't a good thing. Consolidating the Eastern Region and waiting to see how things develop is the best strategy."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Yu's expression began to turn solemn.

Boom!

Just then, as if to verify what Xia Jin had just said, a cold and violent aura suddenly erupted several hundred miles away from the Great Xia Imperial Palace!

A pitch-black pillar of light soared into the sky.

Even from such a distance, the sky above the Great Xia Imperial Capital was affected, darkening slightly.

"Big Brother! This is..." Such a startling phenomenon caused Emperor Xia Yu's face to change drastically.

Behind Emperor Xia Yu, Commander Qin Hu's hair stood on end, and he looked at the gradually dissipating black pillar of light with terror in his eyes.

"What are you two afraid of? It's just another old fogey waking up." Xia Jin, still in his armchair, merely glanced in that direction with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Just then, two graceful figures descended from the distant Void Realm and landed beside Xia Jin; they were Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji.

The two women had just finished their seclusion, and their temperaments were even more ethereal. Clearly, they had completely stabilized their cultivation at the first level of the Land Immortal Realm.

"Husband!" Leng Yuexi looked at Xia Jin, a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes.

But soon, she looked toward the direction where the black pillar of light had appeared, her brows furrowing slightly.

However, before she could speak, Xia Jin spoke first.

"The two of you have now joined the ranks of the Land Immortal Realm and need opponents for combat experience. Here, this is a good subject for your training." As he spoke, a half-smile appeared on Xia Jin's face.

"Go on, go and test this creature's capabilities. Don't worry, with me backing you up, nothing will go wrong."

"Alright! With Husband watching over us, Sister Xuanji and I can fight without any worries!!" Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji exchanged glances, their eyes simultaneously igniting with an eager Battle Intent.

After all, having achieved a Breakthrough into the Land Immortal Realm, they truly yearned for a real battle to test their strength.

They had sparred with Xia Jin before, but after several attempts, they couldn't even muster the desire to attack, as the gap between them was simply too vast.

Now that a suitable opponent had appeared, they naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Don't worry, Husband. With the two of us sisters joining forces, we will definitely take this person down!" Leng Yuexi patted her chest, full of confidence.

As soon as she finished speaking, the two women turned into two streaks of light and sped toward the northwest at an incredible speed.

Watching their departing figures, Xia Jin unhurriedly picked up his teacup again and took a sip, looking calm and composed.

"Big Brother!" Emperor Xia Yu said anxiously, pointing to the northwest. "Are you... not going to follow them? Won't something happen?"

Xia Jin put down his teacup and smiled. "At this distance, with me here, what could possibly happen?"

...

In the northwest, about eight hundred miles from the Great Xia Imperial Capital, deep within a desolate mountain range.

A figure slowly emerged from a cave at the foot of the mountain.

This person was tall but bald, with several strange black patterns etched onto his face.

Most terrifying were his eyes—pitch black without any whites. An ordinary person would likely be scared out of their wits just by looking at them.

A cold, domineering Devilish Qi swept out from his body, instantly flooding the entire valley!

Wherever the Devilish Qi passed, life was extinguished. In an instant, this once lush mountain was turned into a place of dead silence.

"Heh..."

The Bald Man stretched, his body seemingly stiff from having slept for too long.

He tilted his head back and took a deep breath, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Exactly how long have I been asleep this time? I can't remember... several hundred years, or perhaps over a thousand?"

"But... the feeling of waking up is wonderful. This familiar yet strange Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, though much thinner, is still sweet enough."

However, just as he was enjoying the comfort of having just awakened, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his pitch-black eyes turned toward the southeastern sky.

He saw an incomparably sharp sword light piercing through the sky, shooting toward his location!

Before the sword light even arrived, the sharp Sword Intent caused the surrounding rocks to begin cracking incessantly.

"Have little bugs come to disturb this venerable one just after waking up?" The Bald Man grinned, revealing a row of forest-white teeth, though his smile looked somewhat cruel. "It's just as well; this venerable one needs some blood food to replenish this body that has been empty for far too long."

He didn't make a single move.

The surging Devilish Qi behind him suddenly transformed into a giant hand, grabbing directly at the incoming sword light!

Without much effort, he crushed the sword light directly.

And at that moment, Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji appeared before him.
