349: Development of Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce

After a brief inspection of the changes brought about by this period of secluded Cultivation, Xu Qing continued his secluded Cultivation.

With the Cultivation experience of the Chaos Dao Body, the subsequent speed was much faster.

Over seven thousand years, Xu Qing spent nearly one hundred trillion resources, finally elevating both of his Dao Bodies and the Chaos Dao Eye to Monarch Lower Grade.

The Cultivation of the Chaos Dao Eye was much simpler than that of the Dao Body; the Dao Eye, unlike the Dao Body, only required Cultivation of the eyes. Coupled with the extremely solid Foundation already laid by the Chaos Dao Body, the Cultivation of the Chaos Dao Eye was significantly faster than the two Dao Bodies.

With all three Dao Bodies simultaneously elevated to Monarch Lower Grade, Xu Qing's Body Refining Cultivation accumulated to the Peak of the Early Stage Dao Lord, just one step away from the Middle Stage Dao Lord.

"Next, it's time to elevate my Cultivation!"

Immediately, he spent three trillion to exchange for a wisp of Hongmeng Primordial Qi.

"Is this the Hongmeng Primordial Qi?"

Looking at the red gas floating in his hand, Xu Qing carefully sensed its profundities.

Hongmeng Primordial Qi is a powerful energy released by the Grandmist Dao when the world was created, possessing the mysterious ability to create and evolve all things.

It is precisely because of this that over millions of epochs, countless Eternal existences have tried to comprehend the Hongmeng Primordial Qi, hoping to gain insight into the Supreme Grandmist.

However, no one has ever comprehended even a trace of the Grandmist Dao.

After much subsequent verification, it was discovered that this Hongmeng Primordial Qi lacked the core Dao Origin, making it impossible to comprehend the Supreme Grandmist.

Although Xu Qing could perceive its profundities at this moment, he couldn't grasp the essence and had to temporarily give up.

He had Cultivated for over twelve thousand years in the Cosmos World, while more than four years had passed in the outside world.

During these years, through territorial output, Xu Qing obtained about 49 trillion family points. In addition, Xu Song continuously sent supplies via the Family Token, which Xu Qing exchanged one by one, yielding him about 203 trillion family points.

He now had about 306 trillion family points remaining, which was enough for his Cultivation in the short term.

Speaking of territorial output, the matter of the Netherworld must be mentioned.

Currently, the situation in the Netherworld has once again fallen into a stalemate. It is said that Dao Severing Realm Nether Race members have entered the fray, all of whom originate from the Nether Territory of the Upper Realm.

If not for one of his Dao Bodies and the Dark Moon beasts guarding them, the two Ghost Realms of Wuzhuo and Hoping Home would have already changed hands.

The immediate priority for Xu Qing was to elevate his Cultivation. Therefore, the Yin Court army did not continue its conquest, but instead left the remaining two domains of the Minghan Ghost Realm.

The powerhouses of the Nether Race, constrained by the Yin Court's strength and eager to suppress the New God Alliance formed by the Blood God Sect and other forces, did not take further action beyond stationing troops in the Minghan Ghost Realm.

A Hui, with the support of the Dao Body, saw his Cultivation rise from the Emperor Realm all the way to the Dao Lord Realm. He now controlled all territories of the Abyss except for the bottom nine layers.

Furthermore, he secretly formed a partnership with the New God Alliance and began to participate in the war between the New God Alliance and the Upper Realm Nether Race.

It was also because of this that the New God Alliance was able to withstand the pressure from the Upper Realm.

With the current volatile situation in the Netherworld, and the Eternal Kingdom secretly observing, the Yin Court's halt of its troops allowed it to withdraw from the vortex and await other opportunities.

Without further thought, Xu Qing opened his mouth and swallowed the Hongmeng Primordial Qi. In an instant, the Supreme power of creation surged, forming torrents that exhaled from every pore of Xu Qing.

These then transformed into creation Divine Dragons, scattering in all directions and merging into the Qiankun Continent.

The ultimate goal of a Dao Lord absorbing Hongmeng Primordial Qi is to strengthen the Origin World within his Physical Body.

A Dao Lord absorbs and refines Hongmeng Primordial Qi, extracting the power of creation contained within and integrating it into their Origin World.

Nourished by this power of creation, the Foundation of the Origin World will become increasingly stable, thereby laying a strong Foundation for advancement to the Dao Realm.

During this process, the Cultivator's own Soul and Physical Body will also undergo a corresponding sublimation.

This is also why even a small Realm within the Dao Lord Realm can have a chasm-like difference.

Xu Qing's Origin World was this Qiankun Continent. As the power of creation continuously integrated, the space of the entire continent became increasingly stable.

At the same time, the divine spiritual herbs and precious golden Dao stones on the original continent began to transform.

And this was the power of creation's might.

Kase Royal City!

Saen Qingyun once again arrived at the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.

This was his third time visiting this place. Looking at the pavilion before him, Saen Qingyun's face showed emotion.

His last visit was three years ago, when he came to collect the pre-ordered Dao weapons according to his agreement with Xu Song.

With the assistance of these Dao weapons, the hundred Thunder Dao Kings under his command became increasingly integrated with that battle formation, already sufficient to contend with ordinary Dao Lord Supreme Sovereigns.

Even if his fourth brother's war beast was strong, he had no fear. Moreover, his purpose in coming here was to strengthen his own Foundation.

However, he did not expose his strength. After his fourth brother, news also came from his fifth brother, who had the support of a Dao Lord Supreme Sovereign.

Although it had not yet been confirmed, judging by the attitude of the elders in the Family, it was very likely true, which was undoubtedly a joyous occasion for him.

Currently, his fourth brother was in his prime, and none of the other princes dared to directly challenge his glory. The appearance of his fifth brother would inevitably challenge his position, and thus, a fierce struggle would ensue between the two.

He naturally wouldn't join the fray at this time. He would let the two of them fight it out while he watched from the sidelines and secretly developed his own forces.

"Mr. Sai!"

As Saen Qingyun and his companion entered the Merchant Guild, they were greeted by a young man.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his Cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Dao Severing Realm.

Saen Qingyun's eyes narrowed. This was another Martial Dao Prodigy no weaker than Xu Ran.

For the past three years, in order to train that special force, he had secretly left Kase Royal City and only returned today. Thus, he had not visited the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.

However, Sarn Ao, at his behest, frequently did business with the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild. He had already learned about the young man in front of him from the latter's mouth, but that was, after all, information obtained from others. Only when he truly witnessed it did he find it incredible.

Moreover, the young man in front of him was just one of them. In the past three years, there were six other young men like him at the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild. Including Xu Ran, there were eight of them, and they were also known as the Eight Sons of Xuanhuang.

In three years, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The Xuanhuang Merchant Guild of today was no longer the small merchant guild it once was.

The Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, which initially only occupied the small Bao Dan Pavilion, had already purchased the entire Moon Lake area, transforming it into a large merchant guild integrating various businesses such as markets, auctions, restaurants, and inns.

All of this originated from the auction three years ago. Three years ago, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild suddenly organized an auction and sent invitations to various large and small forces in the city.

How could a small merchant guild that couldn't even enter the Three Thousand Streets attract those first-class and above major forces? Moreover, there were several first-class auction houses in the city, and these forces naturally wouldn't offend those large auction houses for the sake of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.

However, it was precisely because of this that this auction allowed a second-class force, the Bandeer Family, to stumble upon a treasure. Because in this auction, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild auctioned a Dao Xuan Pill that could allow a Half-Step Dao Lord to Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm.

When the news of the Dao Xuan Pill came out, it shocked all the major forces in Kase Royal City, who all wanted to join the bidding. But the auction had already begun, and the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild naturally wouldn't allow these forces to interfere.

Moreover, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild had already given these people a chance; it was their own fault for not cherishing it.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of those first-class forces, and even the Eight Great Families and the Kase Royal Family had Supreme Sovereigns come forward to exert pressure.
