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

The stone tablet displaying the battle power rankings in Shenque Mansion was packed with people, all eager to challenge their opponents and earn Shenque Tokens.

Currently, this list is only ranked according to cultivation level; in a few years, it will be ranked according to strength.

The one in first place was none other than Qiu Tianlu of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He had already reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, far ahead of the others. After all, demonic cultivators could indeed improve their cultivation very quickly.

The second place goes to Zhan Wufeng, the Holy Son of Zhenyi Holy Land, who is at the fourth level of the Heavenly Palace.

The third is Wuliang Temple, the Pure Heart Temple, and the Three Heavenly Palaces.

Fourth is Jin Kui of the Golden Winged Tiger Clan, a Heavenly Palace Level Two cultivator.

Later on, there are also the fourth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the divine son of the ancient Xiao family, and so on.

Once people reach the Nascent Soul Realm, most of them reach the same level. As for their order of arrival, it is arranged by the steward who registered them beforehand.

There were a total of 480 people, and Xu Chen was ranked 460th.

After all, there are only thirty geniuses like Xu Chen who are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Xu Chen looked up and saw that the list of names above his own stretched as far as the eye could see.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

Xu Luo and the other two had already given their Divine Tokens to Xu Chen, since they no longer needed them.

It would be better to give Xu Chen more so that he can accumulate enough to exchange for a chance to improve his strength.

As for Xu Luo and the other two, they focused on cultivating with the lords of the manor.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

In the past three years, some of the geniuses in Shenque Palace have died in accidents during challenges, while others have left for various reasons.

Xu Muge broke through to the Heavenly Palace Realm, Xu Luo broke through to the Perfected Primordial Spirit Realm, Xu Chen broke through to the Mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, and Xu Chu, back in his hometown, also broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, the speed of advancement slows down, and even the geniuses of the Divine Palace are no exception.

After all, those with good talent can break through once every ten years or so, while those with poor talent may not be able to break through for decades, or even have no hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Palace in their lifetime.

Xu Ying, who started cultivating ahead of time, made steady progress over three years, only reaching the Profound Core Realm.

Just like Xu Muge before her, Yin Xianhong constantly reminded her not to rush to improve her cultivation level, but to consolidate her realm and only break through if she really couldn't control herself.

Xu Ying usually focuses on practicing martial arts and techniques, and occasionally Xu Luo and the others will spar with her.

Thanks to their efforts, Xu Qingzhou, who was lying low in his hometown, also broke through to the fifth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, almost catching up with his father-in-law Yu Tianzhuo and Su Xin.

On this day, Xu Luo and the other three gathered again, drinking and chatting happily. Of course, Xu Ying still drank the beverages she brought from home. Having drunk them since she was a child, she couldn't live without these delicious drinks. She packed a lot of them into her storage ring before leaving.

They would get together about every few months, and Xu Chen would tell them some interesting stories about the challenges within the manor.

When Qiu Tianlu of the Heavenly Demon Sect was mentioned, Xu Luo frowned slightly and reminded him.

“Muge, Xiaoying, you must be careful of this Qiu Tianlu. He can’t do anything inside the Divine Palace, but once he leaves, things will be different.”

Xu Muge raised an eyebrow.

"That demonic cultivator, I met him when I went to the Bright Moon Secret Realm before. He took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me, acting like he wanted to make friends."

Xu Luo quickly added, "Don't be fooled by him. The cultivation method he uses requires extremely high-quality flesh and blood and soul. People with your physiques are definitely his first choice."

"The reason he did that was to learn more about you so that he could kill you without anyone noticing."

Xu Chen said in disbelief, "No way, he even dares to set his sights on the disciple of the Divine Palace Master?"

Xu Luo said with a serious expression, "Demonic cultivators have always been audacious and lawless, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. They can even harm their own masters and fellow disciples. As long as the benefits are great enough, they are willing to take risks."

In his previous life, Xu Luo had heard of Qiu Tianlu's fearsome reputation when he left the three great dynasties.

Most demonic cultivators rely on the flesh and blood or soul of the cultivator to improve their cultivation level.

Qiu Tianlu killed many prodigies with special physical characteristics through various means.

Xu Muge and Xu Ying are immortal beings, and in his eyes, they are absolutely the most delicious and top-quality food.

Therefore, even if they were disciples of the Lord of Shenque Mansion, Qiu Tianlu would still try every means to kill them.

Xu Muge and Xu Ying both replied earnestly, "Brother Luo, we understand."

At the same time, Xu Muge thought to himself that when he became powerful in the future, he would definitely go to the Southern Region and eradicate the Demonic Sect!

How dare they plot against me and my little sister? They're asking for it!

Xu Luo looked at Xu Chen, "And you too."

"Understood!" Xu Chen nodded. He was a top-tier spiritual body and one of Qiu Tianlu's targets.

As they chatted, they started talking about their families.

So they started discussing going home, since Xu Luo and the others hadn't been home for ten years.

Xu Chen forced a smile, but in reality, he felt dejected.

After making the decision, the three of them got up to leave, but saw Xu Chen still sitting there, with Xu Muge's arm around his shoulder.

"Come on, what are you still sitting there for? Don't you want to go back?"

Xu Chen hesitated, then said, "I..."

Xu Luo smiled.

"Don't worry, the three of us can bring you back."

The Divine Palace only allows departures, not entry. As an ordinary student, Xu Chen could not return once he left.

This is why, when it comes to going home, he not only doesn't look forward to being happy, but also feels helpless and depressed.

Upon hearing Xu Luo's words, Xu Chen suddenly stood up.

"Really?"

Xu Muge gave him a punch without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you, kid! You didn't think we forgot about you and didn't consider this issue beforehand, did you?!"

As the apprentice of three prefectural lords, he can still use these privileges.

"I..." Xu Chen scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Xu Luo waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go."

"Okay!" Xu Chen quickly followed.

"Let's go home!" Xu Ying ran ahead happily, her ponytail swaying in the air.
