Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 162 Xu Chu Returns

When the Xu family's daughter celebrated her full moon, a banquet was held to welcome guests from all over the world. All the prominent forces of the three major dynasties came with generous gifts to offer their congratulations.

Given Xu Qingzhou's background and talent, even if we don't befriend him, we shouldn't offend him.

The appearance of the fifth destiny also enhanced the talents of the Xu family members once again.

The Xu family has once again entered a phase of rapid development.

Xu Yan, the deputy captain of the bandit suppression team, became the fifth member of the Xu family to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

The four ahead of him were Xu Luo, Xu Muge, the Grand Elder, and Xu Chen.

If we categorize the Xu family according to normal power levels, Xu Muge, Xu Luo, Su Xinyan, and Yu Shufei only have four members at the Nascent Soul Realm, which doesn't qualify them as a second-rate power.

But if you add Xu Qingzhou and Shangguan Zhuo, who are at the Heavenly Palace Realm, then that's the strongest second-rate force.

If we add Elder Kong to the mix, even three top-tier forces combined wouldn't be enough to kill them all.

Without external pressure, Xu Qingzhou felt even more at ease lying down, enjoying a fulfilling life with his wife, children, and a warm bed every day.

Xu Ying, with her exquisite and ethereal body, was indeed exceptionally intelligent, completely different from other children.

At just one year old, he could already communicate normally with adults; at two years old, he could read history books and ancient texts without any problems; and at three years old, he developed an interest in cultivation.

She was not only exceptionally intelligent, but also lively and adorable. Everyone in the Xu family liked her, and Old Master Kong was always extremely fond of her whenever he saw her.

Xu Ying became the undisputed little princess of the Xu family.

Sometimes, her words carried more weight than those of Xu Qingzhou, the clan leader.

For example, if Xu Qingzhou says he wants to eat candied hawthorn, the housekeeper will arrange it, and the candied hawthorn will be delivered in no time.

If Xu Ying were to stand with her hands on her hips and say she wanted to eat candied hawthorns, the elders would immediately lead their people to buy all the candied hawthorns in Lingyue City, and even use teleportation arrays to go to other places to buy more and different kinds to bring back.

This is the gap.

After Xu Ying was born, Xiao Hui never left Xu Luo's side and became her loyal little follower. Three-year-old Xu Ying often rode Xiao Hui around Chaoxia Peak and Lingyue City.

Occasionally, she would sit on Xu Qingzhou's shoulders, and the family of four would go out together to enjoy the scenery.

Xu Qingzhou also witnessed her incredible luck.

Taking her out with you means you'll find all sorts of good things, avoid any trouble, and have everything go smoothly.

The Azure Dragon Secret Realm opens once every ten years.

During the meeting, the First Elder asked, "Will our Xu family still go to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm this time?"

After all, the Xu family sent 35 people on the surface last time, but 34 of them were eliminated by the royal family, and only Xu Chen got a spot.

The other Xu Chu also concealed his identity, which is why he wasn't targeted.

If I go this time, I estimate the result will be the same.

“I’m not going anymore, and I don’t need to go anymore,” Xu Qingzhou said.

Having spent nearly three hundred years in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Chu would definitely take away everything useful from it.

If you go in now, you can only cultivate inside; you won't find any rare or precious materials, or even a single demonic beast.

Therefore, it's not worth wasting time going to such a secret realm as the Azure Dragon.

Xu Qingzhou said, "Go tell the Lingyue Sect's Wanbao Pavilion to withdraw directly and not go to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm anymore."

"it is good."

Although the Grand Elder did not understand why this was necessary, he still chose to believe Xu Qingzhou.

The Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion, upon receiving the news, shared the same concerns. Despite their doubts, they still trusted Xu Qingzhou, knowing he wouldn't betray them.

The two companies decided not only not to participate in the selection competition, but also to give up their fifteen spots to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

When the royal family and the Taixu Sect learned of this news, they were both happy and incredulous.

After all, the Azure Dragon Secret Realm is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also contains many rare and exotic beasts and rare treasures.

Although there are some risks, the rewards are also enormous.

Therefore, many cultivators deliberately keep their cultivation level stuck at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in order to enter the secret realm.

Many cultivators fought tooth and nail in the selection competition for a single spot.

Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion, on the other hand, actually gave up their respective fifteen spots.

"Have the people from Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion lost their minds?"

"Could it be that the Xu family was targeted last time, and this time they deliberately excluded the Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion from the competition?"

"It's also possible that they've already looked down on the Azure Dragon Secret Realm."

"Who cares? If they don't go, we'll have more slots and can send more people into the secret realm."

Although Taixu Sect and the royal family were puzzled, they did not think too much about it and immediately agreed to divide the quotas between Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion.

They were even imagining that they would gain even more this time.

.....

There are still half a month before the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opens.

Five hundred li east of the capital, this is the entrance and exit of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

A figure suddenly appeared; it was Xu Chu in disguise.

Xu Chu cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one else there.

Then his figure disappeared, and reappeared a moment later with a smile on his face.

"It's time to go home."

After determining the direction, Xu Chu prepared to go home.

In the first ninety years of his life in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he made a simple classification of the monsters in the realm.

It's very powerful; I'll keep it as my spirit pet.

Generally, powerful ones would have their spirit pets take them in as underlings, control them, and continue to raise them so they could serve as spirit pets for their clansmen when they returned home.

The remaining, relatively ordinary ones, were used as his punching bags and food for his spirit pets.

Over the next ninety years, Xu Chu delved deeper into the four arts of alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and runes.

For the last 120 years, he walked through the secret realm, exploring it as if digging three feet into the ground.

Finally, at the edge of the secret realm, about a hundred feet underground, he found a bone about the length and thickness of an arm, with intricate inscriptions on it, and it was exceptionally hard.

After Xu Chu refined the bone, he discovered that he could freely enter and exit the secret realm while holding it.

This thrilled him, but he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he used the remaining time to dig up all the rare and precious materials in the secret realm and to refine a large number of spirit beast bags to store the spirit beasts.

Only after confirming that there was not a single spiritual herb or demonic beast in the secret realm did he feel at ease enough to leave.

He felt great, having gained so much.

Before going home, Xu Chu first found a secluded place, set up many formations, and then had his spirit pet guard the area.

He wants to break through.

For the past three hundred years, he has been cultivating in a secret realm where the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete. Although he could not break through, he has been cultivating all along, and a large amount of his cultivation has been stored up by him using secret methods.

Now that we've left the secret realm and returned to the outside world where the laws of heaven and earth are complete, it's time for me to break through.

"boom!!"

Xu Chu, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, easily broke through to the Profound Core Realm, and his breakthrough showed no signs of stopping.

Mid-stage of the Profound Core realm.

Late stage of Xuan Dan (a type of cultivation technique).

The Mysterious Elixir is complete.

Early stage of Purple Mansion Realm!!

Ultimately, Xu Chu's cultivation level stopped at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

There are two reasons why Xu Chu took three hundred years to advance from the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.

First of all, Xu Chu did not spend most of the past three hundred years cultivating.

Secondly, Xu Chu did not blindly improve his realm. After breaking through, he continued to compress his magic power and strengthen his foundation.

If he uses all his stored cultivation power to break through to a higher realm, he will achieve a higher level.

But such a realm is too abstract and there is no corresponding strength.

In the path of cultivation, the foundation is of utmost importance.

Xu Chu, who had read many books in his spare time, was very clear about this.

However, even if Xu Chu cultivated for three hundred years, the height he could reach would be limited.

After all, he lacked Xu Muge's top-tier talent, Xu Luo's experience of rebuilding his life, and Xu Qingzhou's flawless holy body without any bottlenecks.

All Xu Chu can do is use the infinite time to gradually wear down the bottleneck that hinders him, so as to steadily reach a higher level.
