241: Chapter 240 Preparations to Leave This World

Early the next morning,

Xia Jin looked at the two women sitting cross-legged in meditation before him, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji had their eyes slightly closed, their bodies surrounded by a layer of faint green shimmering light that made them look increasingly pure and ethereal.

Last night, Xia Jin hadn't actually fooled around until dawn.

After the two women's drunkenness faded and they fell into a deep sleep, he rose and used his substantial cultivation at the limit of the Creation Realm, combined with the incomparably mysterious Nine Turns Creation Sutra, to refine their Foundations once more.

This process was not easy; even with his current strength, he didn't dare to be careless, as any slight mistake could lead to total failure.

Throughout the entire night, he carefully removed the Impurities from their bodies bit by bit, reorganizing and refining their Bloodlines, muscles, and bones.

Looking at them now, although their faces remained unchanged, their overall temperament had undergone a qualitative leap.

Their skin was like jade, lustrous and glowing, and a mysterious spiritual rhythm had appeared between their brows, as if they had been completely reborn.

Their Foundations now, while perhaps not flawless, were close to perfection.

In terms of potential, it had increased by more than tenfold.

"Spending most of the night was worth it; I've barely succeeded! As for how far they can go next, that will depend on Yue Xi and the other's own luck!" A flash of satisfaction appeared in Xia Jin's eyes as he breathed a long sigh of relief.

With their current Foundations and the wisp of the Power of Creation he left in their bodies, their path of cultivation would be smooth.

He believed that in less than a year, the two women would be able to step directly into the Tongshen Realm and advance through it without any obstacles, as if walking on level ground.

By then, even without the protection of the Divine Temple, Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji would be considered truly powerful figures in this world.

Xia Jin rose quietly and left the Jin Wang Palace silently, without disturbing the two women in meditation.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and headed toward the Imperial Study.

...

Inside the Imperial Study, the current Emperor of Great Xia, Emperor Xia Yu, was drinking tea.

Great Xia had now returned to the right track, and with Xia Jin as his backer and the help of many people, he didn't need to worry too much.

Hearing footsteps, Emperor Xia Yu looked up and saw Xia Jin walking in with a smile.

"Elder Brother!" Emperor Xia Yu was overjoyed. He quickly set down his teacup and stood up to greet him. "Why are you back!?"

"What? Am I not allowed to come back?" Xia Jin gave him a playful glare, then looked Emperor Xia Yu up and down, saying with a smile, "Not bad, your complexion is much better than before. It seems you've been quite relaxed lately."

Emperor Xia Yu scratched his head and grinned. "It's all thanks to you, Elder Brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have it this easy."

"Alright, enough small talk. I have important matters to discuss with you." Suddenly, Xia Jin's expression became extremely serious. With a wave of his hand, he closed the door.

No one knew what Xia Jin and Emperor Xia Yu discussed in the Imperial Study.

All they knew was that the doors to the Imperial Study remained closed for over an hour. During that time, faint sounds of Emperor Xia Yu's exclamations and occasional excited shouts could be heard, as if he were hearing something incredible.

Over an hour later, the door finally opened.

Xia Jin stepped out first, his expression normal, with a faint smile still on his lips.

Emperor Xia Yu, following behind him, looked excited, his eyes shining as if he were full of vigor.

He didn't even notice Commander Qin Hu, who was guarding the door and bowing to him. He walked straight past Qin Hu, muttering something under his breath.

Commander Qin Hu stood frozen in place, his hand stuck in mid-air. He watched Emperor Xia Yu's departing back in a daze, only snapping out of it after a while. "What's... happened to Your Majesty?"

...

The next day, on a wide open space deep within the Great Xia Imperial Palace, about a hundred people sat cross-legged in neat rows.

Even while sitting, their backs were straight, and their eyes held an irrepressible excitement and anticipation.

Sitting at the very front were naturally Eunuch Wei and Commander Qin Hu, the two most loyal subordinates of the Great Xia Imperial Family.

Eunuch Wei looked at Xia Jin before him, his face full of emotion. If it weren't for this lord, he would never have reached this position, let alone received such an Opportunity.

Commander Qin Hu sat beside him. This man, who usually feared nothing in heaven or earth, was actually a bit nervous now.

Xia Jin stood before everyone with his hands behind his back, his calm gaze sweeping over every person present.

These people were the most loyal core of Great Xia, the Foundation for Emperor Xia Yu to govern and stabilize the country in the future. Since he was leaving, he naturally had to solidify these Foundations for his younger brother.

He didn't waste any words and simply raised his right hand.

A majestic and life-filled force surged from his body, sweeping toward the hundred people present.

This force enveloped everyone and then slowly seeped into their bodies, reshaping their Foundations and cleansing their marrow and bones.

For a time, low exclamations rose and fell across the open space. Some showed expressions of pain, while others were filled with ecstasy, but everyone gritted their teeth and endured the baptism of this force without moving.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Jin glanced at the crowd still in a state of cultivation and turned to leave with a smile.

Before leaving this world, he still needed to make some more preparations.

...

The Southern Region was a vast expanse of mountains and swamps.

Yet it was precisely here that had become the territory of the Fire Phoenix and the Black Flood Dragon.

Since these two Yao Beasts had submitted to Xia Jin, this land had become quite peaceful.

Just as Xia Jin's figure appeared above the mountain range, two massive figures soared into the sky from below, bringing a gust of wind that sent countless leaves flying.

It was the Fire Phoenix and the Black Flood Dragon.

"Not bad! It seems you haven't been lazy lately; you've made quite some progress!" Xia Jin said with a smile, glancing at the thick auras radiating from the Black Flood Dragon and the Fire Phoenix.

"This is all thanks to the Opportunity Master bestowed upon us two demons, which allowed our Bloodlines to undergo further transformation. Otherwise, no matter how hard the Fire Phoenix and I cultivated, we wouldn't have reached today's Realm!" The Black Flood Dragon's massive body twisted among the dark clouds, but its eyes were full of respect as it looked at Xia Jin.

"The Black Flood Dragon is right! Everything we have today is thanks to Master!" The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and let out a crisp cry.
