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

Over the past decade, the other prodigies of the Xu family have also made significant progress.

Xu Muge, residing in the Xuan Tian Sacred Sect of Hangzhou, has already attained sainthood. Moreover, he is at the second level of the True Saint Realm.

Xu Muge's realm is incredibly solid. As a celestial being, as long as he is given enough resources, his realm can be improved as easily as drinking water, and there will be no instability in his realm.

Xu Ying, who was in the Misty Immortal Palace of Yuanzhou, also became a saint and is now at the first level of True Saint.

A few years ago, Xu Qingzhou, Su Xinyan, and Yin Xianhong visited them again.

Actually, the two of them really wanted to go home, see their other family members, and get some rest.

However, as immortal beings, they are coveted by several powerful forces that are also overlords, who do not want to see them grow stronger.

They were fine in their respective strongholds, but even if three or five forces of the same level came, they wouldn't be able to break through the layers of obstacles and kill them.

Once they leave Hangzhou and Yuanzhou, their situation will be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, they cannot leave Hangzhou and Yuanzhou unless absolutely necessary.

They can't sneak back either; too many people are watching them all the time, and they'd be easily discovered.

Except for the two of them.

Xu Luo, Xu Chen, and Xu Qiufeng from Qingzhou True Dragon Academy, while not as powerful as the two immortal bodies, are still quite formidable.

Before they went there, they were at the triple fusion level; now they are at the eighth fusion level.

Xu Chu, from the Xu family, also broke through to the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect realm.

In comparison, Xu Hao's breakthrough brought Xu Qingzhou a negligible boost to his cultivation level, since their realms were too different; Xu Chu was only slightly better than him.

However, with the help of the other five chosen ones, Xu Qingzhou was able to break through from the second level of the Great Saint Realm to the fifth level of the Great Saint Realm in ten years.

Xu Qingzhou is absolutely the only person in the entire Tianyuan Realm whose improvement speed is outrageously fast, regardless of which realm he is in.

Therefore, every now and then, when he displays his strength, it is enough to make the entire Cangzhou tremble with fear.

.....

Qingzhou's overall strength ranks around one hundredth among the thousands of continents in the Tianyuan Realm. The dominant forces in Qingzhou all possess numerous quasi-emperors.

The most famous force in Qingzhou is the True Dragon Academy.

This is a force similar to the Divine Palace. Legend has it that when the True Dragon Academy was first established, a true dragon stayed there for a thousand years, hence the name.

The True Dragon Academy never participates in any power struggles. It opens once every thousand years, and only exceptionally talented individuals are qualified to enter the True Dragon Academy.

The True Dragon Academy has a long history and many imperial-level inheritances, so it attracts geniuses from all continents every time it opens.

In his previous life, Xu Luo knew about the opening of the True Dragon Academy, but he dared not even entertain the thought of going to Qingzhou to join the academy.

In this life, he possessed sufficient strength and talent, which is why he brought Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng to the Qingzhou True Dragon Academy.

Above the gate of True Dragon Academy, a phantom of a true dragon has always hovered, and one can faintly hear its deep and powerful roar.

Once inside the True Dragon Academy, you'll see what looks like an endless ladder leading straight to the sky.

Actually, this is not a very steep mountain, and it is called Wangtian Peak.

On the slope of Wangtian Peak, there are cave dwellings where the elite students of Zhenlong Academy live.

The closer a cave is to the mountaintop, the better the environment, the more abundant the spiritual energy, and the more lineages and cultivation techniques one can access.

As for how to stay in a cave near the mountaintop, that depends on the students' abilities.

Students below can challenge those above. If they win, they can exchange cave dwellings with their opponent. If they lose, they will not have the opportunity to challenge for a period of time and can only cultivate in the cave below.

When Xu Luo and his two companions first arrived, although they passed the True Dragon Academy's assessment, their strength was almost at the bottom.

Even Yao Zitong, the second princess of the Jiuli Dynasty and the second on the list of geniuses who also came from Cangzhou, was stronger than them.

In her previous life, Yao Zitong was ranked first on the Cangzhou Prodigy Ranking and was also the only prodigy in Cangzhou to be admitted to the True Dragon Academy.

After joining the True Dragon Academy, Xu Luo and his two companions worked hard, and their cave dwellings kept moving upwards, easily overtaking Yao Zitong along the way.

Now, after ten years at the True Dragon Academy, the cave dwelling where the three of them live is still only halfway up Wangtian Peak.

When they first arrived in Qingzhou, they promised to go home in ten years, and now it's time to go home.

Xu Chen looked up at the sky, as if gazing at the heavens.

"This True Dragon Academy is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide."

He thought that in ten years he would at least get close to the top of the mountain, but he never expected that he would only get to the halfway point.

Xu Luo said, "That's normal. After all, this place gathers the strongest geniuses from hundreds of continents. Even the Peerless Marquis of Lizhou and the Purple Origin Saint of Qingzhou are not the strongest."

It should be noted that when the two of them challenged Xu Qingzhou, they were already at the seventh and ninth levels of the Integration Realm.

At that time, Xu Luo and the other two were still in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"It seems that our goal of reaching the summit is still a long way off," Xu Qiufeng sighed.

Xu Luo laughed and said, "It's alright, if ten years isn't enough, we'll do another ten."

Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng were also very confident about this.

"Let's go, come back and fight again!"

Xu Luo and his two companions temporarily left True Dragon Academy and embarked on their journey home.

Although Qingzhou is quite far from Cangzhou, they were still quite fast riding the Azure Thunder Roc.

Unbeknownst to them, after they left, Yao Zitong, the second princess of the Jiuli Dynasty, also left the True Dragon Academy.

However, the three of them are only leaving temporarily; they will come back.

As for Yao Zitong, she has left completely and will probably never come back.

Yao Zitong understood that her talent was far inferior to those geniuses, and staying here would not lead to any improvement, so she might as well leave.

This trip to the True Dragon Academy allowed her to once again appreciate the power of the Xu family's prodigies.

When I first arrived, the three of them were clearly not as good as me, but their growth rate was so fast that I easily caught up with them.

These are just the three of them. The Xu family also has an even more powerful immortal body, and Xu Qingzhou, who amazes everyone.

Yao Zitong understood that in the future, the Xu family would not only be the protagonist of Cangzhou, but might even be the protagonist of Tianyuan Realm, and almost no one could stop their growth.

She planned to go back this time and persuade her father to stop provokeing the Xu family and even to take the initiative to befriend them.

Even if we can't turn hostility into friendship, we should at least avoid creating further enmity.

When Xu Luo and the other two returned to the Xu family in Duanshan City, they found that Xu Chu was also there. Xu Chu then invited Xu Hao and Xu Yundao, who was also at home, and the six of them drank and chatted happily.

At the same time, they also learned about the changes Xu Hao had brought to the Xu family over the years.

When asked about his master Xu Hao, Xu Luo fell silent after hearing a familiar reason.

If it were anyone else, they might not suspect Xu Hao, but Xu Luo was all too familiar with his reason.

However, Xu Luo also understood that everyone has their own secrets. Even if Xu Hao lied about this matter just like he did, as long as he was good to his family and contributed to the clan, there would be no problem.

They talked and drank to their hearts' content.

The next day, Xu Luo found Xu Qingzhou. They first chatted about some interesting things at the True Dragon Academy, and then Xu Luo brought up the real reason for his return.

"Sixth Uncle, do you still remember the matter of the City Lord's Mansion in Broken Mountain City?"

Xu Qingzhou paused slightly, "You mean the old city lord of Duanshan City and his adopted sons?"

The Lord of Duanshan City has five adopted sons. He has been missing for a thousand years. The eldest son left Cangzhou to gain experience, the second son went to find the missing Lord, the third son Tu Jiuming disappeared, the fourth son has been in seclusion for many years, and the fifth son is Wei Jianghe, the current Lord of Duanshan City.

Because Duanshan City also participated in the joint suppression of the Xu family, the relationship between the Xu family and Duanshan City has been very strained over the years, with several open and covert struggles.

Xu Qingzhou conducted a simple investigation of the City Lord's Mansion, but many things remained secrets unknown to anyone.

Xu Luo nodded.

"I've received information that someone has discovered a powerful individual who appears to be Tu Jiuming, and he's currently trapped somewhere."

Tu Jiuming and the Xu family have quite a history. Back in the Great Qian Dynasty, Tu Jiuming bought his self-created martial arts at an auction. Later, Xu Luo and Xu Muge even received a part of his inheritance in his cave.

Currently, some members of the Xu family still practice his self-created Heaven-rank martial art, "Burning Heaven Annihilation Hand".
