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

on the way back.

Su Xinyan recalled her conversation with Song Yushu.

"Xinyan, there's something I don't know how to say," Song Yushu said, a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness flashing across her face, even a touch of shyness that made it hard to speak.

This was the first time she had shown this expression since ascending the throne as empress.

Having been through it all, Su Xinyan only vaguely understood her expression.

"Is it related to romantic love?"

Song Yushu replied with a complicated expression, "A little, but mainly it's about you and me."

"Huh?" Su Xinyan was slightly taken aback. Could it be that she liked her? But she was already married!

I wanted to be your best friend, and you actually like me?!

Seeing her expression, Song Yushu knew she had misunderstood and stopped being coy.

"I want an heir, to groom him early so he can inherit the throne, but I really don't know who to choose, I..."

Su Xinyan instantly understood what she meant.

"Actually, I've known for a long time that you like Qingzhou too, haven't you?"

Song Yushu nodded.

Xu Qingzhou was outstanding and had saved her twice, leaving an indelible impression on her mind.

Song Yushu wanted to find someone to have offspring with, and Xu Qingzhou was the only option.

Su Xinyan said slowly, "Your biggest concern about this matter is my attitude. I can tell you that I agree."

"But this is not as simple as me agreeing. The stronger you are, the more difficult it is to have a child, and the longer it will take. Qingzhou will not stay here. You can only go back with us and try for many years to get pregnant."

"Can you temporarily leave Daqian and come with us?"

Song Yushu was speechless.

Now, under her rule, the Great Qian Dynasty is thriving, and for some reason, she also enjoys the feeling of being the emperor.

She was in a dilemma about abandoning the Great Qian Dynasty altogether.

Su Xinyan didn't say much, but told her to think it over carefully before making a decision.

Su Xinyan also told Xu Qingzhou about this, and Xu Qingzhou naturally had no objection to such a good thing.

Xu Qingzhou is not a picky person. He likes both the sixth princess who was dashing in black armor back then and the dignified and majestic Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty.

.....

Before leaving, Xu Luo specifically spoke to Xu Qingzhou about something.

Are you aware of the existence of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of tea. "I know. It's rumored that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is skilled in divination and can glimpse the secrets of heaven. They appear whenever there is a great conflict in the world."

He occasionally reads ancient books and has a general understanding of many things.

“Yes, we are currently in the midst of a great struggle. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will probably emerge in about ten years, at which time they will release a list of prodigies,” Xu Luo added.

Before Xu Luo left with Xu Chen and Qu Wubing in the Holy City, the Primordial Saint Son Gu Mingkong said that the Heavenly Pride Ranking was about to open and he hoped that they could fight again then.

Xu Qingzhou put down his teacup. "Could it be that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can calculate all the geniuses of Cangzhou and make them public?"

Xu Luo nodded and said, "The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion does indeed have such capabilities; they even know about battles that occur between some of the most talented individuals."

"I suspect that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is not only good at divination and fortune telling, but also has an extremely powerful intelligence network."

The rankings on the Prodigy Ranking are based on the actual combat strength of the prodigies, not their cultivation level.

Some prodigies encounter and fight each other in certain ruins and secret realms. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion knows about most of the battles they have experienced, and these will become the standard by which the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion judges their actual combat strength.

Xu Qingzhou's expression was solemn. "You should all be on the list by then."

“That’s what I’m worried about,” Xu Luo said in a deep voice.

Other factions would be happy to have one or two prodigies on the Prodigy Ranking, but the Xu family has too many prodigies.

Xu Muge, Xu Luo, Xu Ying, Xu Chen, Qu Wubing, Xu Yundao and Xu Chu could not, one because his cultivation time was too short and the other because his cultivation time was too long.

Xu Chu spent too much time in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, and his bone age would increase accordingly. Strictly speaking, he was already considered an elder.

If they all make it onto the list of prodigies, it will inevitably attract the attention of all forces in the entire Cangzhou.

After all, even the ancient families of the Holy Land only have one or two, while your Xu family, such a small family, has four or five. That's not normal.

Sometimes, being in the spotlight isn't a good thing.

What the Xu family needs now is stable and low-key development. Once all the prodigies are exposed, they will be easily targeted, which is very detrimental to the Xu family's development.

Especially Xu Muge and Xu Ying, both of them have immortal bodies. Not to mention Cangzhou, they have never been seen in the entire Tianyuan Realm. It will definitely cause a sensation when the time comes.

Xu Luo said helplessly, "The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is too mysterious. It appears in the Tianyuan Realm every time there is a major battle. Its strength is unfathomable. I heard that once an extremely powerful force in a certain continent approached them to hide their clan's genius, but they refused."

"It seems that our Xu family's prodigy is definitely going to be exposed," Xu Qingzhou sighed.

Once Xu Muge and Xu Ying's physical conditions are exposed, they will definitely face a lot of targeting.

Xu Luo replied, "What we can do is improve our strength as soon as possible. I might be away for a while this time, and I'll come back when the Prodigy Ranking opens."

Xu Qingzhou took out some top-grade spirit stones and handed them to him. He had also given some to Xu Chu when he left the Great Qian Dynasty.

The decision to sell the Sacred Gold was made to obtain resources for the family's prodigies so they could grow up quickly.

Not long after Xu Luo left, Xu Ying also set off for the Great Xia Dynasty. With Xu Muge and Xu Chen there, it would be safer to go to the Great Xia.

Xu Qingzhou wasn't idle at home either. Besides occasionally visiting the Heavenly Xuan Turtle, playing with Little Gray, teaching Xu Yundao cultivation, and trying to conceive with his two wives, he also began cultivating the sacred method given to him by Xu Luo.

Sacred laws are all created by highly talented Saint Realm experts.

It's impossible to cultivate below the Heavenly Palace level. One can try at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and can unleash a portion of its power at the Integration Realm. Only a True Saint can perfectly unleash the strongest combat power of the Holy Law.

Xu Qingzhou is currently only at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, making cultivation extremely difficult. However, he never intended to master the basics quickly; he would take it slowly.

Ten years have gone by in a blink of an eye.

The news of the imminent emergence of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had already spread throughout Cangzhou. Knowing that they could no longer hide it, the prodigies of various forces all entered the world and began to make their mark in various parts of Cangzhou.

For cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, ten years can pass in a single seclusion.

Most Nascent Soul cultivators are lucky to break through one realm in ten years, but for prodigies, even in the Heavenly Palace Realm, breaking through twice in ten years is the norm. If they have any fortuitous encounters or opportunities, they can break through even more.

With such top-tier talent as Xu Muge, he managed to break through from the third level of the Heavenly Palace Realm to the sixth level in ten years while maintaining a steady and solid foundation.

He didn't encounter any extraordinary events in the past ten years, nor did he deliberately compete for any great opportunities; he simply improved through cultivation.

Even those who know him well are amazed by his talent.

Xu Luo encountered some fortuitous events, which allowed him to break through from the second level of the Heavenly Palace to the fifth level, but he was still a little behind Xu Muge.

When it comes to finding opportunities, Xu Chen, who possesses the ability to observe qi, is far more capable.

Over the past decade, Xu Chen and Qu Wubing have been frantically picking up bargains in the Great Xia Dynasty. Although they haven't had any major opportunities, they have had a constant stream of small ones, and as they have accumulated, their cultivation has improved extremely quickly.

He directly broke through from the peak of the Primordial Spirit to the third level of the Heavenly Palace.

Qu Wubing, who possesses the bloodline of a War Immortal, has higher talent than him, so his improvement speed is even more astonishing.

Before his bloodline awakened, he already possessed strength comparable to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and he killed a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast with his bare hands in the Holy City Arena.

After fully awakening their bloodline and obtaining inherited cultivation techniques, they directly possess the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm upon becoming body cultivators.

After training under Xu Chen for twelve years, he reached the Heavenly Palace Realm, but ordinary Heavenly Palace Level 3 cultivators were no match for him.

Unfortunately, he was not the chosen one, and his cultivation could not be passed on to Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Ying, who was also in the Great Xia Dynasty, also made great progress thanks to luck and talent, advancing from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the second level of the Heavenly Palace realm in ten years.

Compared to them, Xu Chu, the steady king who had been living in the Great Qian Dynasty without any adventures, experiences, or fortuitous encounters, saw his cultivation level improve at a snail's pace.

Ten years have passed, and I have only just managed to break through from the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm to the Heavenly Palace realm.

You must know, he is the third chosen one of the Xu family. The fourth, Xu Chen, and the fifth, Xu Ying, have all surpassed him.

Even Qu Wubing, who had been cultivating for even shorter periods, caught up with them.

If he hadn't been able to cultivate in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he could only break through once in ten years at most.

But what can you do when it's a long-term process? It's okay if it's slower; we'll catch up eventually anyway.

Thanks to the efforts of these chosen ones, Xu Qingzhou also made rapid progress.

Even though he's at home with a wife and kids, enjoying a cozy bed and often taking his pet dog for walks and playing with his old tortoise, his breakthrough speed is still unmatched by anyone else.

In ten years, he, who was at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace, broke through to the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect realm.

This speed is extremely rare, even considering the entire history of Cangzhou over hundreds of thousands of years.

Even Xu Muge, with his top-tier talent, would have to give him a thumbs up.

Xu Qingzhou remained completely unmoved by this.

After all, it's all thanks to hard work and sweat! It's all something I deserve!
