322: Chapter 322 Venerable Daqing

"It's finally over. If this Lightning Tribulation had lasted any longer, I would have been done for!"

Seeing the Lightning Tribulation dissipate, Qin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. The Lightning Tribulation grew stronger the longer it lasted, and those last three bolts had nearly killed him!

However, the benefits he received after surviving the Lightning Tribulation were immense. First, his Saint Body was far more powerful than that of an ordinary person.

His Saint Soul and Saint Source were also more condensed than those of an average person because the System had already refined them, and he had used the power of the heavenly lightning to refine them once more.

This was a double enhancement, which was why he far surpassed other experts in the same realm in these aspects!

"So many people. I didn't expect that just undergoing a tribulation would attract so many!"

Qin Xiao scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense and muttered to himself.

He had noticed people watching while he was Undergoing Tribulation, but he had been too busy pouring all his energy into resisting the lightning to pay them any mind.

He hadn't expected to attract such a crowd.

There were as many as five Martial Artists in the Half-Saint Realm alone, one or two hundred Martial Artists in the Heavenly Human Realm, and even more in the Return to One Realm.

Qin Xiao also faintly detected a few prying gazes. The owners of those gazes were not weak; they made him feel a hint of a threat, so they were undoubtedly experts in the Saint Realm.

"I am Lao Ai. Today, I have achieved the Saint Realm through this tribulation, and all under heaven shall celebrate. From now on, you shall all address me as the Great Celebration Venerable! I will build a world where all the heavens celebrate together!"

Qin Xiao's majestic voice rang in the ears of the onlookers, and then, with a flash of his body, he vanished from the spot amidst their awestruck gazes!

Having finished his grandstanding, Qin Xiao turned and left, leaving behind a solitary and arrogant silhouette!

"Lao Ai? Who is this person? How come I've never heard of such an expert?"

"The Great Celebration Venerable, all the heavens celebrating together—this Senior certainly has great ambition!"

"From now on, this Senior is my idol. I will take him as my goal and work together to build the Great Celebration World!"

"..."

After Qin Xiao disappeared, the crowd erupted into a frenzy, discussing it amongst themselves.

Someone in the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents had reached the Saint Realm again; this was undoubtedly a monumental event that shook all directions and drew the attention of numerous factions!

"Great Celebration Venerable Lao Ai, who exactly is this person? I've never heard of this name before. Could it be a pseudonym?"

Many factions began investigating information about Lao Ai, but they gained nothing at all, as if this person had never existed!

...

Meanwhile, Prince Wuwei welcomed four guests. Each of these individuals possessed a powerful aura and was a peerless expert in the Half-Saint Realm.

One of them had an aura even stronger than his own, and their cultivation and strength had already reached the ninth level of the Half-Saint Realm.

Two others had strength similar to his, both at the eighth level of the Half-Saint Realm, while the last one was slightly weaker, only at the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm.

These four were helpers that Prince Wuwei had managed to find at a great cost.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Qian, Imperial Uncle, Marquis Li, I will have to trouble you all from here on out!"

Prince Wuwei bowed to the four, speaking politely!

After returning from his serious injuries last time, he had sought help from his acquaintances and friends within the Imperial Dynasty and had summoned these four experts in the Late Stage of the Half-Saint Realm!

"Brother Sun, you are too polite. That Qin Xiao doesn't know his place; he thinks that just because he has a little strength, he can provoke our Divine Jin Dynasty. Such a person should be eliminated!"

Zhang Haoran said softly to Prince Wuwei. He was the Grand Chancellor of the Divine Jin Dynasty, a major figure within the Divine Jin Dynasty, known for his ruthless and tough methods!

Even within the Divine Jin Dynasty, he was a famous figure, and countless people feared him!

"This person dared to kill a member of our Imperial Clan; he has already brought death upon himself. I will certainly join you in slaying him!"

One of the old men said to Prince Wuwei. He was one of the oldest Half-Saints of the Divine Jin Dynasty, having reached the ninth level of the Half-Saint Realm over ten thousand years ago, and possessed immense strength.

He was one of the ancient relics of the Divine Jin Dynasty, and this time, he too had been invited out by Prince Wuwei!

One could see how deep his hatred for Qin Xiao was!

Seeing the four arrive, Prince Wuwei immediately took them and headed straight for the Qin Family.

When the five arrived before Lingxiu Mountain, they saw that the entire mountain was shrouded in a Formation, making it impossible to see anything inside.

"Brother Sun, it seems he was well-prepared. He activated the Formation in advance. Could he have guessed that we were coming?"

Zhang Haoran said softly to Prince Wuwei.

"Then could he have run away?" the Martial Artist at the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm asked worriedly at this moment.

"Whether he has run or not, won't we know once we break the Formation?"

The Imperial Clan's Martial Artist at the ninth level of the Half-Saint Realm said coldly! After speaking, he raised his right hand and struck towards Lingxiu Mountain!

Instantly, a massive palm print, fully a thousand zhang in size, appeared above Lingxiu Mountain and then slammed down upon it!

"Boom!"

The palm print struck the Formation, emitting a deafening roar!

The Formation wavered, but it still managed to block the attack!

Seeing this, the Imperial Clan elder struck again, causing cracks to instantly appear on the Formation, accompanied by a cracking sound!

Then, the Imperial Clan elder struck one last time, directly shattering the Formation.

After the Formation was shattered, they saw a figure on the mountaintop!

He faced them, his expression very calm. He seemed completely unsurprised by the arrival of the five, showing not a hint of worry!

"As expected, Prince Wuwei, you did bring people. Unfortunately, you are one step too late. I have already taken my clan and left!"

Qin Xiao looked at them, a faint smile on his face!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Prince Wuwei was instantly enraged. The Qin Xiao before them was merely a phantom imprint left behind by the other party.

At this moment, Lingxiu Mountain was already empty; it was clear that everyone had been taken away by Qin Xiao.

"Brat Qin Xiao, no matter if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will find you, and my Divine Jin Dynasty will not let you go either!"

Prince Wuwei said, gritting his teeth at Qin Xiao's phantom!

Having said that, he struck out with a palm directly at Qin Xiao, scattering the phantom left behind by Qin Xiao!

"Everyone, I'm sorry for the trouble this time. You've made a wasted trip. I didn't expect this guy to just run away."

After doing this, Prince Wuwei suppressed his anger and turned to speak to the four people beside him.

"It's fine," Zhang Haoran waved his hand, "We didn't exert much effort anyway. What does Brother Sun plan to do next?"

"I intend to ask Tianji Pavilion to help calculate Qin Xiao's whereabouts. No matter what the cost, I will not hesitate to pay it!"

Prince Wuwei only thought for a moment before saying with a gloomy face.

"Tianji Pavilion?" Zhang Haoran's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

This Tianji Pavilion was extremely mysterious and very well-informed; they could calculate many things, and finding people was also their specialty.

However, Tianji Pavilion's fees were also notoriously high; even Martial Artists like them in the Half-Saint Realm would feel heart-wrenched by the cost.

Moreover, the more difficult the calculation and the stronger the target, the higher the price!
