440: Xu Yuan breaks through

Ancestor Mountain!

On a certain floating island, Xu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire Xu Family territory through a crystal window. He also saw that someone from the Tianfu Branch had a Breakthrough to Dao Lord.

However, his expression was calm, clearly accustomed to it.

In the past five hundred years, he had seen many such scenes.

The current Xu Family was no longer what it used to be.

There were sixteen Dao Seat Elders, all in the Late Stage Dao Lord. Among them, Xu Song, due to the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, had the easiest access to contribution points and had already refined twenty-four strands of Hongmeng Primordial Qi. He only needed to refine three more to Breakthrough to an Immortal Giant.

There were thirty-eight Heavenly Seat Elders, all in the Middle Stage Dao Lord. In the past five hundred years, only two Earth Seat Elders had collected one hundred merits and successfully advanced to Heavenly Seat Elder.

There were 472 Earth Seat Elders, all in the Early Stage Dao Lord; as for the number of Human Seat Elders, it had exceeded five hundred thousand, all in the Dao Lord Realm.

The Xu Family’s ability to produce so many Dao Lords and Dao Masters was naturally due to Xu Qing’s Cultivation Jade Slip.

In the past five hundred years, although Xu Qing had been in seclusion, he would occasionally awaken and bestow a large number of Cultivation Jade Slips and Hongmeng Primordial Qi.

Of course, this was also obtained by the Family offering a large amount of resources.

Sixty percent of these resources came from the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, and the other forty percent came from the Immortal Secret Realm bestowed by Xu Qing.

About four hundred years ago, when Xu Qing awakened, he left an Immortal Secret Realm for the Family.

This Immortal Secret Realm was vast and boundless, rich not only in Dao Medicine and Dao Gold, but also in many Dao Lord-level Yao Beasts.

Because of this, in these four hundred years, they had continuously explored, but had not even finished exploring sixty percent of the outer area.

Yet, just this sixty percent of the outer area was already comparable to four or five Mystic Yellow Dao Territorys.

It was also with the resources from the Immortal Secret Realm that the Xu Family was able to produce so many strong practitioners.

Just as Xu Ming was sighing about the changes in the Xu Family, a communication Spirit Light suddenly appeared before him.

Opening it, it was a message from the Canglan Dao Domain: Xu Yuan had broken through to the Dao Lord Realm!

This news, like a thunderclap, shook many Dao Domains.

The Cangwu Dao Academy, in order to build momentum, was preparing to host a Dao Lord Banquet for Xu Yuan. This communication Spirit Light was a message from Xu Yuan, hoping that the Elders of the Family could attend the ceremony.

As Xu Yuan was Xu Qing’s biological younger brother and the head of the Family’s top ten sequences, Xu Ming naturally would not show any neglect.

Immediately, he left the floating island and arrived at the Family Hall on the peak of Ancestor Mountain.

Here, he met a Dao Avatar left by Xu Qing in the Family.

Looking at the Dao Avatar on the throne, Xu Ming felt the Great Dao throbbing and couldn’t help but lower his head.

He sighed in his heart, merely a Dao Avatar made him feel this way, one could imagine what Realm Xu Qing’s true self had reached now.

“Clan Chief, there’s news from Yuan’er!”

Xu Ming cupped his fists and said.

“I already know!”

Xu Qing’s Dao Avatar nodded, his deep, ocean-like eyes flickering with intelligent light, as if he could perceive everything.

Although his true self was in seclusion and couldn’t personally see the message in the communication Jade Slip, with his current unfathomable Realm, a mere thought was like witnessing it firsthand, knowing the ins and outs of the matter.

“My true self is currently in Breakthrough and cannot come out of seclusion, so one person from the main branch shall go!”

The Dao Avatar’s voice resonated in the air like a grand bell.

Xu Ming frowned slightly, his Face showing worry: “Clan Chief, Yuan’er, after all, achieved the position of Dao Lord at a young age. I’m afraid some old fogies might not be able to hold back and suddenly appear…”

“No worries! I will keep an eye on it!”

The Dao Avatar’s words were full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

“Yes!”

A weight was finally lifted from Xu Ming’s heart, and he then retreated with a sense of relief.

Soon, inside the Elder Palace!

Dozens of powerful figures flashed like meteors, some were Dao Avatars or Dao Fields, others were their true selves, gathered together.

“Everyone, take a look.”

Xu Ming lightly raised a finger, like a zither player plucking strings, and the jade table emitted a crisp sound. The content of the communication Spirit Light unfolded like a scroll in the center of the hall.

When they learned that Xu Yuan had broken through to Dao Lord, a chorus of gasps echoed in the hall.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Xu Liang said “Good” three times in a row, his expression exceptionally excited, “Yuan’er truly lives up to being the head of the top ten sequences! How long has it been, and he’s already like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, soaring ninety thousand li, Breaking through to the Dao Lord Realm!”

Their Breakthroughs were due to using Cultivation Jade Slips, but Xu Yuan had been like an ascetic monk for these six hundred years, never applying for Cultivation Jade Slips from the Family.

“Wait!”

The Xu Family’s First Heavenly Seat Elder, who was also the Grand Elder, suddenly widened his eyes like copper bells, “Such a big event, why isn’t this kid hosting it in the Family?”

Xu Ming shook his head helplessly, but his eyes sparkled with pride: “This child has always been unconventional. Since he chose the Cangwu Dao Academy to host his Dao Lord Banquet, then our Xu Family naturally cannot lose Face.”

“Grand Elder is right.”

Xu Liang clapped his hands and laughed, his voice like a great bell, “Yuan’er is Qing’er’s biological younger brother and the head of the sequence. Our Xu Family should prepare a generous gift to show our Xu Family’s heritage.”

“In my opinion, let’s give him a complete set of Top Grade chaotic spiritual treasures!” The Fifth Elder slammed the table, his voice deafening, “It’s both respectable and practical.”

“Too shabby!” The Seventh Elder immediately retorted, “We should add something more!”

Xu Jie stroked his beard, “Yuan’er just broke through, Top Grade chaotic spiritual treasures might be like a hot potato, difficult to control. Moreover, at such an event, there will inevitably be many Immortal Dao Fields, like hungry wolves circling. If someone covets it, it would be detrimental to Yuan’er.”

“Why not give him some Heaven And Earth Treasures to help him stabilize his Realm…”

For a time, the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market, with various Elders arguing fiercely, their Faces red, like fighting cocks, refusing to give way.

“Stop arguing.” Xu Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, his gaze turning to Xu Liang, who had been silent, “Liang’er, you are Yuan’er’s paternal uncle, what do you think of this matter?”

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: “I remember before the Clan Chief went into seclusion, he left behind a Nine Revolutions Xuanhuang Medicinal Pill…”

“Nine Revolutions Xuanhuang Medicinal Pill?”

This was a Medicinal Pill personally refined by Xu Qing when he awakened three hundred years ago. It is said to contain a strand of Primordial Xuanhuang Qi, which is of great benefit to Dao Lord Cultivators who follow the Body Refining path.

“Then it’s one Nine Revolutions Xuanhuang Medicinal Pill and one Nine Bends Immortal Ginseng Medicinal Pill!” Xu Ming slammed the table, “And a Medium Grade chaotic spiritual treasure-level sword, as well as a Medium Grade chaotic spiritual treasure defensive Dao weapon.”

This proposal was immediately passed unanimously.

Xu Qingshan even clapped his hands and laughed: “Excellent! It shows our Xu Family’s heritage, and these are all treasures that Yuan’er can use.”

“No time to lose.” Xu Ming looked at Xu Liang, “Liang’er, you will lead the team. Remember to bring some elite disciples to let them see the world!”

Xu Liang nodded solemnly: “Grand Elder, rest assured, I will go prepare now.”

Half a day later, on a floating island in Ancestor Mountain.

An immortal palace stood, which was a carriage. It was pulled by nine Taiyin Flood Dragons in the Half-step Dao Lord Realm as carriage beasts. Soon, Xu Liang, in a dark robe, appeared at the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were fifty Xu Family members, excluding five Dao Lord Elders, the rest were Xu Family Dao-Grade Prodigies, all with Dao Lord Realm Cultivation, each with extraordinary Qi.

“Depart!”

With Xu Liang’s command, the nine Taiyin Flood Dragons stirred up waves of Chaos energy, quickly transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the sea of clouds.
