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

Xu Hao raised his head, looking at the ancient tower, his eyes filled with determination.

Unfortunately, his injuries have not yet fully healed, so he cannot attempt the challenge for the time being.

After pausing for a moment, Xu Hao and Jin Tianlu left together, heading to the top floor of Ruyi Building.

Last time, Xu Hao came with Wu Yuqi and three others. No one noticed them when they arrived or when they left; they just sat in a corner for a while.

Now Xu Hao has come again, and when his figure appears.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

The proud young men, who were engaged in lively discussions, drinking tea and wine, all involuntarily turned their gazes toward them.

Immediately, many outstanding talents got up and walked over quickly.

"Brother Xu is here."

"Brother Xu, this way please."

Just as Jin Tianlu said, the scene of many prodigies taking the initiative to find City Lord Liu and express their desire to befriend Xu Hao when they left the small world had already spread throughout Zhentian City.

As everyone knows, Xu Hao climbed the mountain in the small world.

They were all impressed by his strength and indomitable will, and wanted to befriend him.

Therefore, Xu Hao's appearance here naturally attracted the attention of most people.

They surrounded Xu Hao and led him to a spacious table located near the center.

They sat down around Xu Hao and started chatting with him.

"Brother Xu, let me toast you."

"I am coming too."

Most of these people were at the Integration Realm, and they were basically the same people who had watched Xu Hao climb up the ranks in the small world before.

Even geniuses at the Dharma Aspect Realm weren't qualified to come closer, yet Xu Hao, a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, was sitting in the center.

There were many talented individuals present, and naturally some who were not well-informed and did not recognize Xu Hao could not help but raise questions.

"Who is this person? He is clearly at the Dharma Aspect Realm, yet a group of Integration Realm prodigies are fawning over him like this."

"You don't know Xu Hao?"

"I don't know, could he have some powerful background?"

"He has no connections and comes from an obscure small town."

"Then why is that?"

"because...."

Soon, news of Xu Hao spread throughout the area, and everyone knew about him. Some even shamelessly came over to toast him.

Xu Hao stayed there for an hour before leaving Ruyi Tower amidst the crowd and returning to his residence.

In the following days, people came to visit Xu Hao every day, some of whom represented certain forces and wanted to win him over.

Xu Hao politely declined, citing his desire to focus on cultivation, and later chose to go into seclusion.

Over time, fewer and fewer people came to see him.

Only after his injuries had fully healed did Xu Hao leave the courtyard and arrive at the Trial Tower. After paying a mid-grade spirit stone, Xu Hao entered the Trial Tower, where an old man stood at the entrance.

The old man said, "The Trial Tower has rules. You can only bring one weapon when you go through the trials. You can't use pills or talismans. If you want to give up, just shout 'Exit'."

Such regulations are also intended to prevent people from using these external items to bypass the checkpoint.

Xu Hao nodded, took out his usual longsword, and began to attempt the challenge.

Just as Jin Tianlu said, Xu Hao encountered a black-clad cultivator at the same level as him.

From any perspective, Xu Hao felt that this was a real person, and even the surrounding environment had changed, becoming a very realistic plain.

"The Trial Tower is indeed extraordinary."

No sooner had Xu Hao finished speaking than the black-clad cultivator attacked, his swordplay sharp and deadly.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Xu Hao and was killed instantly by Xu Hao's sword.

Although there were two black-clad cultivators of the same cultivation level in the second trial, the result was the same.

Xu Hao thus made it to level forty-one in one go.

The black-clad cultivator he encountered in this trial was four levels higher in cultivation than him.

Xu Hao directly activated the full power of the Ancient Sacred Body and killed it. When he reached the forty-ninth level, there were nine people who were four levels higher than him.

Xu Hao gritted his teeth and killed them one by one.

In the fiftieth level, although the number of black-clad cultivators has decreased to one, their cultivation level has reached the second stage of the Integration Realm.

Xu Hao fought him for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and knowing he was no match for him, he shouted something.

"quit."

If Xu Hao uses a secret technique, he can naturally win and continue to advance, but even so, he won't be able to reach level ninety. In that case, he might as well just leave.

After all, secret techniques have side effects, so it's best to use them sparingly.

The next moment, Xu Hao appeared at the entrance of the Trial Tower. His minor injuries had disappeared as if he had never experienced them.

This made Xu Hao marvel once again at the mysterious power of the Trial Tower.

After returning, Xu Hao went straight back to the Tianyuan Realm to spar with the Qianlong Guards and Qu Wubing, honing his martial arts skills and improving his combat abilities.

About six months later, Xu Hao returned to Zhentian City and entered the Trial Tower without hesitation.

Just like last time, he rushed to level 50 in one go, fought a fierce battle with a black-clad cultivator at the second level of the Integration Realm for half an hour, and finally killed him.

Satisfied, Xu Hao left again to continue cultivating and improving his strength. He would return to the Trial Tower as soon as he made progress.

This is a protracted battle. Throughout history, countless geniuses and prodigies have tried to conquer the Trial Tower. Even those with exceptional talent and physique cannot reach the 80th or 90th floor in one go.

They all achieved certain results through continuous practice, improvement, and numerous attempts.

Also, people usually enter the Trial Tower before reaching the Integration Realm.

Because if a cultivator at the Integration Realm enters the Trial Tower, they will encounter black-clad cultivators with Saint Realm cultivation. The difference in strength between Saint Realm and below is too great. It is already rare to be able to cross two or three levels, let alone seven, eight or nine levels.

.....

Xu Qingzhou had previously set a rule that Wanbaoge would hold a large-scale auction every twenty years.

It has been nearly twenty years since Wanbaoge's last major auction.

Besides Xu Hao, who has already reached the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm and has made tremendous progress, the other geniuses of the Xu family have also improved a lot during this period.

Xu Muge, who cultivates at the Xuantian Holy Sect, was previously at the fifth level of the True Saint Realm, but is now at the first level of the Great Saint Realm.

Xu Ying in the Misty Immortal Palace is the same as Xu Muge.

As immortal beings, their cultivation level increases rapidly even in the True Saint Realm.

Most True Saint Realm cultivators are considered very powerful if they can advance one level in twenty years, but these people can break through five times in twenty years, which shows how big the gap is.

This is not entirely because they are both immortal beings with better talents, but also because they are chosen ones, blessed with good fortune, and have a higher probability and more opportunities.

Xu Luo, Xu Chen, and Xu Qiufeng, who were at the True Dragon Academy, were previously at the second level of the True Saint Realm, but now they have all reached the sixth level of the True Saint Realm.

They are slightly inferior to those with immortal bodies, but only to those with immortal bodies who possess destiny and fortune. Their cultivation speed is still unmatched by other geniuses and prodigies.

However, among those chosen by fate, Xu Chu was the only exception.

He was previously at the seventh level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and now, after so many years, he has only managed to advance to the ninth level.

Such speed is even far inferior to that of the Xu family's Hidden Dragon Guards.

There was nothing he could do; he stayed at the Xu family's house every day, neither going out to seek opportunities nor undergoing any trials, so his cultivation level naturally improved much more slowly.

Fortunately, he possessed the Five Elements Divine Body; had he retained his previous ordinary physique, his cultivation advancement would have been even slower.

Although the Xu family's prodigies have improved significantly, Xu Qingzhou, as the clan leader, has improved even more by benefiting from their cultivation.

His previous dual cultivation with Yin Xianhong had raised him from the eighth level of the Great Saint Realm to the ninth level.

The cultivation benefits from the Xu family's prodigies over the years have directly boosted his cultivation to the fifth level of the Saint King Realm.

It should be noted that Yin Xianhong's current cultivation level is only at the seventh level of the Saint King Realm. She has improved quite quickly, but at Xu Qingzhou's current rate, it won't be long before Xu Qingzhou's cultivation level surpasses hers.

Xu Qingzhou's cultivation time was not even as long as the time she spent in the Saint King realm.

Saint King Realm – that's the pinnacle of Cangzhou. The strength of the dominant forces in Cangzhou is determined by how many Saint King Realm experts they possess.

Once upon a time, Saint King Realm experts were figures that Xu Qingzhou and the entire Xu family looked up to. Now, without realizing it, Xu Qingzhou has also reached that realm.

In other words, Xu Qingzhou hasn't made a move for a long time. If he were to show his cultivation and strength, it would definitely cause Cangzhou and even other nearby continents to boil over once again.

After all, the speed at which his cultivation improved was simply too fast, so fast that it defied all reason and exceeded everyone's comprehension.
