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

The thirty-four young people from the Xu family who were eliminated in the selection competition returned to the Xu family and cultivated even harder than before.

They all knew that the Xu family had been targeted during the selection process; otherwise, they wouldn't have all been eliminated.

This left them seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it. So they could only choose to cultivate diligently, so that in the near future, no one or any force would dare to target the Xu family, and would even submit to and fear the Xu family.

This was also the purpose of Xu Qingzhou taking them there—to make them recognize this cruel reality and then strive to improve themselves.

Not long after returning, Xu Chen successfully broke through to the Profound Core Realm and joined the bandit suppression team, going with them to the Demon Cloud Mountains to suppress bandits and gain experience.

Due to a minor accident, they lost one member. Now, with Xu Chen's bandit suppression team, there are exactly sixty people, all of whom are at the Profound Core Realm.

These are the elites of the Xu family. Every time they go to the Demon Cloud Mountains, Shangguan Zhuo secretly protects them; they cannot afford any accidents.

The white-haired old man that Xu Qingzhou and Xu Chen brought back had been living in the same courtyard as Xu Chen's parents.

Xu Chen would chat with him for a few minutes before each trip, even though he didn't know if the other person could hear him. Xu Chen never tired of it.

Because he often stares blankly at the sky, people call him Old Man Kong.

Xu Qingzhou gave him the Soul Nourishing Liquid that Xu Luo had prepared but hadn't finished, but he was still the same as before, without much change.

Xu Qingzhou sought treatment from several doctors and eventually came to a conclusion.

Kong Lao's soul injury has healed, but he is unwilling to wake up and chooses to remain in a daze.

It's possible that in addition to his previous injury, he suffered a great shock, which is why he was unwilling to wake up.

Xu Qingzhou didn't care. For the Xu family, his arrival was just another person and another pair of chopsticks.

To prevent the hidden assassins from getting close to him, Xu Qingzhou went straight back to his courtyard and didn't go out.

What should you do if you're being targeted by an assassin hired by your enemy?

A normal person would choose to train hard, improve their strength, and kill the assassin.

Xu Qingzhou chose to remain lying low, waiting for a chance to repay his debt and then turn the tables on the assassin.

The results of these two choices are the same, so there's nothing wrong with what Xu Qingzhou did.

.....

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chu, who is in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, has spent ninety years here. That's ninety years, the lifespan of an ordinary person.

At first, Xu Chu was not quite used to it during those ninety years. After all, he had always lived in the Xu family with relatives and friends. Suddenly living alone was a bit of an adjustment.

After a few years, I got used to it.

Xu Chu spent several years finally thoroughly researching the Beast Taming inheritance.

"Next, it's time to deal with the monsters in the secret realm!"

Xu Chu used his residence as the center and explored the surrounding area.

When encountering ordinary demonic beasts, they are killed on the spot. When encountering demonic beasts with better bloodlines, they are tamed as spirit pets using beast-taming techniques.

Then use the monsters they killed before to feed their spirit pets.

The only pity is that Xu Chu's soul strength is limited, so he cannot tame spirit pets indefinitely; he can only tame a small portion of them.

However, he can have his spirit pets recruit other monsters as his underlings.

In other words, he cultivated several demon kings, each with a large group of underlings. By subduing the demon kings, he could then possess a large army of spirit beasts.

Once Xu Chu had a sufficient number of spirit pets, he led the main force to besiege the Xuan Dan realm demonic beasts in the secret realm.

"Brothers, charge!!"

With a wave of his hand, Xu Chu unleashed thousands upon thousands of powerful demonic beasts, roaring as they charged toward their target like giant waves crashing against the shore.

From afar, it looked like a vast, dark mass, resembling a massive army pressing in, blotting out the sky and creating an awe-inspiring sight.

He didn't even need to lift a finger; he simply commanded his spirit pets to launch a swarm attack, easily eliminating the demonic beasts with the strength of the Profound Core Realm.

If he had spoken even a fraction slower, the Xuan Dan realm demon beast would have been devoured, leaving not even a bone fragment.

The secret realm is vast and teeming with monsters, but Xu Chu has even more time. If he can't resolve it in a month or two, then he can take a year, two years, ten years, or even twenty years.

Anyway, I am immortal. Even if I reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I don't need to worry about not having enough lifespan. There's nothing else to it but that I have time.

Ninety years later, Xu Chu classified the monsters in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm into three categories.

1. Pet, 2. Pet food, 3. Punching bag.

In the secret realm, Xu Chu became the sole leader.

"When we leave, we'll refine a large number of spirit beast bags and take all these demon beasts with us. Once we return to the clan, the clan members who have become beast tamers can choose any of them."

Fortunately, he had a large number of spirit pets to keep him company, so Xu Chu wouldn't be too bored. After all, the spirit-gathering and profound core realm demon beasts already possessed a certain level of intelligence.

Especially the demonic beasts at the Profound Core Realm, whose intelligence is roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child.

After spending a lot of time with them, Xu Chu could understand almost everything he said and would even respond.

Now Xu Chu has become the boss of the secret realm, and all the rare and precious materials, spiritual herbs and plants in the secret realm belong to him.

All he needs to do is ride his spirit pet to collect them.

However, in order to maximize his profits, he did not choose to collect it now, but could wait another two hundred years and collect it when he left.

"Only ninety years have passed, and we still have to stay here for two hundred and ten years."

Xu Chu lay on the round belly of a big bear, looking at the unchanging sky, feeling inexplicably irritable and depressed.

The secret realm is an independent small world with incomplete laws governing it.

There is no day or night here, no changing seasons or different weather; it's always like this, utterly lifeless.

Before Xu Chu came, he specially bought an hourglass, which takes a year to run out of sand.

He uses this hourglass to tell how long he has been here.

I wonder if my father, mother, and uncles miss me.

Before setting off, Xu Chu specifically told his parents and Xu Qingzhou that he was going out to gain experience and would not be able to return for ten years.

He thought he could get through this easily, but now it seems it's going to be a bit difficult.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Chu suddenly jumped up.

"I can't keep thinking like this, or I'll definitely develop inner demons. I have to keep myself busy to pass the time."

Xu Chu decided to spend another ninety years continuing his in-depth research on alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and runes.

In the remaining 120 years, we will explore the entire secret realm again, mile by mile.

Try to take away everything useful and valuable from the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, leaving nothing behind.

Although he couldn't break through to the Profound Core Realm because the laws in the secret realm were incomplete, Xu Chu would still cultivate every now and then.

Because before he came, he found a secret technique that could temporarily suppress his increased cultivation level within his body, allowing him to slowly digest and absorb it after he left.

At that time, we can achieve breakthroughs in a short period of time.
