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

The double portal is Xu Hao's biggest trump card. Besides allowing him to travel back and forth between the Immortal Realm and the Tianyuan Realm, it also has another ingenious use: escaping in critical moments.

This is far more powerful than any talisman or token. It allows for rapid escape anytime, anywhere, and even cross-realm escape. Immortals may not know, but Emperor-level experts certainly cannot track it down.

The only problem is that the double-door technique is of great importance, and Xu Hao cannot use it in front of others unless absolutely necessary.

Now that he had no other choice, he had to escape like this.

Xu Hao released the secret technique. His physical weakness was not too bad, but his inner anxiety made him feel quite tired.

"Given the characteristics of this door, if I go back, I'll end up back in the same spot I came from, and I'll still be picked up by the towering tree and used as nourishment."

"Does this mean we have to cultivate until we reach the Emperor Realm before returning?"

Thinking about this gave Xu Hao a headache.

Although many restrictions on his Ancient Sacred Body will be lifted after he reaches the Sacred Realm, and breakthroughs will not be as difficult or require as much resources as before.

However, the Saint Realm has three major realms: True Saint, Great Saint, and Saint King. Even with his talent, he would need to cultivate for a very long time.

Being unable to bring back local specialties from the Celestial Realm to make money during this period is secondary.

The main problem is that even if he cultivates to the Emperor Realm, goes back to deal with the towering tree, leaves the ruins, and misses the opening time of the ancient battlefield, he still can't leave the ancient battlefield!

Ancient battlefields are quite nice, with many relics of powerful figures and a wealth of opportunities.

But apart from these ruins and powerful monsters, there's nothing else. Compared to the entire Immortal Realm, it's far inferior.

Even if Xu Hao becomes an immortal, he cannot leave the ancient battlefield. From now on, he can only travel between the ancient battlefield and the Xu family.

Unless he cultivates to a higher level, but when will that be?

“Going back now is almost certain death. If you cultivate to the Emperor Realm and go back, you will most likely be able to leave the ruins, but you will not be able to leave the ancient battlefield. Furthermore, you will only be able to go to the ancient battlefield when you go to the Immortal Realm in the future.”

"What should I do?"

The faster Xu Hao entered the ruins before, the more troubled he is now.

Now it's all because he was too impulsive and also because he was unlucky. If it were just the ruins of a Saint Realm expert, it wouldn't be so unsolvable.

For him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, the ruins of an Emperor Realm expert were not an opportunity, but a perilous place filled with killing intent.

But it's too late to say anything now. When faced with problems, Xu Hao doesn't like to regret or complain; he only tries his best to find a solution.

After recovering his condition through meditation, Xu Hao spent a whole day in the courtyard racking his brains, but still to no avail.

"By the way, the clan leader is already an Emperor Realm expert. Talk to him about this situation, maybe he can come up with a solution."

Thinking of Xu Qingzhou, a glimmer of hope ignited in Xu Hao's heart, and he got up and went to Xu Qingzhou's courtyard.

Xu Qingzhou glanced at him.

"You look so worried, what's wrong?"

Xu Hao nodded.

"I saw a dilemma in the notes left by a strong person that I couldn't figure out."

[We definitely can't tell the clan chief about this directly. Let's do it the same way as before and phrase it differently.]

Xu Qingzhou, holding his teacup, asked with interest, "Tell me about it."

Xu Hao recounted his experiences in the ruins in detail, only now he had replaced himself with a powerful figure.

Xu Qingzhou naturally understood that he was talking about himself, but he didn't expose him and just analyzed it based on his own ideas.

"Based on what you've said, I think the owner of this ruin is probably not completely dead. He may have planted this demon tree through some special secret method, using the tree to nourish the geniuses and restore his vitality so that he can be reborn one day."

Xu Qingzhou had encountered a similar situation before, with the previous Wanshan Emperor.

On the highest mountain in his small world, Emperor Wanshan left behind various methods to poison and kill hundreds of Saint King realm experts, gathering their life's cultivation into one.

The idea is to accumulate little by little, relying on the lifetime cultivation of these Saint Kings to repair one's soul, and then reshape one's physical body to achieve the goal of living a second life.

So after hearing what Xu Hao said, he felt it was very similar, and the owner of the ruins where Xu Hao was probably thinking the same thing.

"This works?" Xu Hao looked astonished and incredulous.

Xu Qingzhou sighed, "The stronger the cultivator, the more afraid they are of death and the more they want to live longer. They are unwilling to give up any chance to extend their lifespan or even be reborn."

Although powerful beings at the Emperor Realm are very strong and have long lifespans, their lifespans eventually come to an end, and they will also be injured or die.

Xu Hao nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing with the sentiment.

Moreover, everyone knows that the most intense competition at auctions is always for elixirs and rare treasures that can prolong a cultivator's life.

Xu Hao asked, "Is there really no way to deal with this situation?"

It would be such a pity if we couldn't go back to such a wonderful place as the Immortal Realm.

Xu Qingzhou said, "I do have a method that you can try if you encounter it in the future."

Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and he instantly perked up.

"what way?"

Xu Qingzhou raised his hand and took out a red bead the size of a fist, which contained extremely terrifying energy.

Among them were the life cultivation of hundreds of Saint King realm experts. Emperor Wanshan originally wanted to rely on these to repair his soul, but he didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to take advantage of the situation.

Xu Hao looked at the red bead and asked curiously, "What is this? The power inside is so strong, it makes my heart tremble."

Xu Qingzhou briefly explained the situation of Emperor Wanshan.

"This contains the cultivation of hundreds of Saint King Realm experts over their entire lives. If it is detonated, it can instantly unleash unparalleled and terrifying energy."

"If it's a prepared Emperor-level expert, it naturally can't be hurt. But if it's a method left behind by an Emperor-level expert who has already died once and whose resurrection time is unknown, it should be able to be destroyed."

"I see," Xu Hao exclaimed in surprise, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

If it's truly as powerful as the clan leader claims, there's a high probability it can destroy that towering tree.

Xu Qingzhou handed him the red beads.

"Take this. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, try it out."

"this...."

Xu Hao really wanted to take it, but felt it was too valuable.

Xu Qingzhou threw him directly into his arms without saying a word.

"Take it."

It's not just Xu Hao who needs the Immortal Realm; Xu Qingzhou and the Xu family need it too.

If it weren't for Xu Hao constantly bringing back good things from the Immortal Realm over the years, Wanbaoge wouldn't have been able to open so many branches, the Xu family wouldn't have earned so many resources, and the clansmen wouldn't have progressed so quickly.

Therefore, Xu Qingzhou would do his best to help him in any way he could, so what was a single bead compared to that?

Xu Hao understood that the clan chief always treated his clansmen this way, so he did not continue to refuse.

"Thank you, clan chief."
