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

In the Immortal Realm, in Zhentian City of the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty, at the Trial Tower.

Xu Hao is now at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, only one step away from the Integration Realm.

If Xu Hao were to take elixirs or use a vast amount of resources, he could easily break through to the Integration Realm.

However, in order to pass the Trial Tower in the Dharma Aspect Realm and obtain a spot to enter the Ancient Battlefield, Xu Hao has no plans to break through for the time being.

Because once he breaks through to the Integration Realm, if he goes to the Trial Tower, he will face black-clad cultivators of the Saint Realm after the 90th floor. Then he will have no chance of winning and will completely lose the opportunity to obtain a spot to enter the Ancient Battlefield.

Over the years, Xu Hao has been consolidating his cultivation, comprehending the essence of the art, refining his martial arts techniques, improving his combat skills, and increasing his practical experience.

All of these factors combined meant that although Xu Hao's cultivation level did not improve, his combat strength was gradually increasing.

They are also studying the combat patterns of the black-clad monks in the Trial Tower.

Now, with his Holy Body at its peak, he can pass through all sixty-nine levels in one go.

In other words, he could kill nine black-clad cultivators whose cultivation level was six levels higher than his own.

However, when he encountered a black-clad cultivator who was seven levels higher than him and possessed the cultivation level of the seventh level of the Integration Realm, he felt immense pressure. If he did not activate a secret technique to improve his cultivation, defeat was only a matter of time.

On this day, Xu Hao was well-prepared and decided to give it another shot to see if he could reach the ninety-ninth level even if he tried his best.

If all else fails, he will break through and cannot stay at this level for too long, lest he disrupt his cultivation plan.

After entering the Trial Tower, Xu Hao methodically made his way to the seventieth level. Facing a black-clad cultivator whose cultivation was seven levels higher than his own, he could only struggle to hold on.

"Fortunately, this was just a simulation by the Trial Tower. If it were a real cultivator at the seventh level of the Integration Realm, I wouldn't have a chance of winning."

After a fierce battle that lasted about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xu Hao no longer hesitated and directly formed a hand seal, unleashing a secret technique to enhance his cultivation.

Combined into one level!

Dual combination!!

Triple combination! ! !

With the blessing of the secret technique, Xu Hao's cultivation level rose from the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the third level of the Body Integration Realm.

"boom!!"

With his cultivation enhanced, Xu Hao punched and shattered the simulated seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator in black.

Fortunately, the cultivator's realm simulated by the Trial Tower is determined based on the challenger's own cultivation level, not their current realm; otherwise, Xu Hao's secret technique would have been wasted.

The subsequent levels went extremely smoothly.

Xu Hao sang all the way and rushed to level ninety in one go.

At this moment, a black-clad cultivator at the ninth level of the Integration Realm stood before him, his powerful aura pressing down on Xu Hao like a mountain.

"The secret technique only lasts for a quarter of an hour, we need to speed things up!"

Without the aid of secret techniques, Xu Hao's cultivation level plummeted to the Dharma Aspect Realm, and he was defeated in an instant, let alone pass the trial.

Xu Hao took out a worn-out broadsword. It was a damaged sacred weapon; otherwise, with his cultivation level, he wouldn't have been able to use it.

"Chi!!"

Xu Hao used all his strength in three strikes to kill the black-clad cultivator; the partial loss of his sacred weapon still greatly enhanced his power.

Ninety-one levels, two combined into nine layers.

Ninety-two levels, three combined into nine layers.

As Xu Hao slashed with each strike, the vast true essence within his body was rapidly being depleted.

That is, the Ancient Sacred Body, although its dantian is difficult to cultivate and its meridians are small, its absorption of spiritual energy is very slow.

However, once his dantian is opened, the true essence stored therein is many times that of cultivators at the same level.

This is one of the reasons why the Ancient Sacred Body is so powerful.

The vast, ocean-like true essence enabled Xu Hao to continuously use powerful techniques and sacred weapons.

The pressure increased as time went on, but he never considered giving up and persevered through gritted teeth.

Unbeknownst to him, chaos had already erupted outside the Trial Tower.

Because once someone reaches level 90, it will be displayed outside the Trial Tower, and the guards of the Trial Tower and the nearby cultivators can see it clearly.

"My God! I must be seeing things, someone actually made it to the 90th level."

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The Trial Tower's ninety levels mean facing black-clad cultivators nine levels higher than me. Can I even fight them?"

"Don't even mention level 90, I can't even get past level 30."

"It seems like the Trial Tower hasn't produced any prodigies who can reach level ninety or above in a long time."

"I don't know who this person is, but he must be famous in Zhentian City and being courted by various forces."

There is a restriction that you can only bring one weapon into the Trial Tower and nothing else. However, you can use secret techniques to improve your cultivation. These secret techniques do not harm your own fundamental nature and can only raise your cultivation by a maximum of three realms.

So reaching level 30 is nothing special, reaching level 50 shows some skill, reaching level 70 makes you a true prodigy, and reaching level 80 makes you the cream of the crop among prodigies.

Those who reach level ninety will be renowned throughout Zhentian City, and even the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty.

Prodigies of Cheng Yunlai, Qingyu Fairy, the Fourth Prince of Mingyue Immortal Dynasty, and Kaishan Marquis, all reached level ninety.

As for reaching the ninety-ninth level, it's been countless millennia since that happened.

This is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, the emergence of another prodigy who has reached level 90 in the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty is already huge news.

In just about fifteen minutes, a large number of cultivators had gathered around the Trial Tower.

"Boom!"

“Swish swish!!”

"Tap tap tap!!"

Luxurious flying boats sped in, and jade carriages rushed in from all directions. People who were rarely seen on ordinary days gathered in front of the Trial Tower in a short period of time.

They included powerful families from Zhentian City, top forces from the Immortal Dynasty, and even members of the royal family.

They were dressed in fine clothes, exuded a powerful aura, and occupied the best positions, their eyes fixed on the Trial Tower.

"Have you found out who tried to break through the checkpoint?"

"It's Xu Hao from Qilan City, who previously participated in the Hundred Cities War."

"So it was him. That makes it no surprise."

"I was too blind. At the time, I just thought he was a rare gem with extraordinary talent and a resolute character. I never imagined that his talent and perseverance would reach such a level!"

"Once he gets out, we must do everything we can to win him over!!"

"What a pity. If we had worked a little harder before, this promising talent might have been ours."

Xu Hao had already become famous once during the Hundred Cities War, but at that time he was only somewhat famous.

Many forces tried to win him over, but after he deliberately avoided and refused, and even went into seclusion for long periods of time, his fame gradually faded.

After all, this is Zhentian City, the capital of the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty, where all sorts of important events happen every day.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Hao has once again made a name for himself several years later, shaking the entire Zhentian City!
