Following the neighboring world surfaces were conquered, Huwang Xiao released the remaining demonic beasts and spiritual beasts from the Heavenly Mountain.
A dozen world surfaces were sufficient to let them roam comfortably.
However, Huwang Xiao did not expand his place any further than that dozen world surfaces, placing two peak late-Tenth Order God Realm masters at each world surface to manage it, as the Highgod Realm experts returned to protect the Huwang Clan Manor. With that mysterious Great Lord’s presence, Huwang Xiao didn't want to spread the Huwang Clan Manor’s strength too thin.
After conquering those dozen world surfaces, Huwang Xiao took out ten thousand top grade spirit stones for each world surface to construct a grand transmission array.
With the construction of these transmission arrays, it would be much more convenient for him to regulate all those world surfaces.
In the past 2 yrs, Huwang Xiao had been absorbing star force from the three galaxies while cultivating, and also killed all the strange monsters trapped inside the Heart Demon Swallowing Formation. As for the Highgod World masters who moved into the formation, attracted by the White Tiger Divine Fire’s roar, they were all subjugated by Huwang Xiao, like the Dao Creed’s previous and present Chiefs, ZHuwang Yongheng, and Tao Gu.
Those that refused to submit were killed.
Hence, the number of Highgod Realm masters under Huwang Xiao reached a whopping forty-two people!
There were two Third Order Highgod Realm masters, Green Dragon Beast King, and Ancestor Bifang. Second Orders Highgod Realm experts, keeping track of Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, there have been five people.
And the amount of godheads in Huwang Xiao’s possession reached thirty-seven!
The Ascending Moon Old Man finally returned from White Tiger Galaxy two years later. When he noticed the Green Dragon Beast Ruler and Ancestor Bifang, the three of these began fighting without a word. That time, Green Dragon Beast King, Ancestor Bifang, and Ancestor Mountaingoat were among the five that attacked and wounded the old man.
When he discovered that Green Dragon Beast King and Ancestor Bifang had submitted to Huwang Xiao, furthermore, discussing Huwang Xiao as ‘Master’, the old man was dumbfounded, failing to react for a very long time.
Quite a good while passed prior to the old man numbly asked Huwang Xiao, “They’re phoning you get better at?”
Huwang Xiao nodded: “Yes.”
After more time passed, the Ascending Moon Old Man asked again, “They really submitted to you?”
Huwang Xiao nodded seriously, “Yes.”
“I’m not dreaming?” The old man again asked for confirmation.
Huwang Xiao rolled his eyes and overlooked his question.
A long, long time later, it seemed like the Ascending Moon Old Man had finally accepted the fact, but the way he viewed Huwang Xiao was indescribably weird, making Huwang Xiao ill at ease.
The old man couldn't understand why the Green Dragon Beast King and Ancestor Bifang, who have been both renowned demonic beast kings, would submit to Huwang Xiao. Both of them were Third Order Highgod World masters ah!
For some top divine grade nature stones? Probably not.
Although top divine grade spirit stones were indeed enticing, based on these two people’s identities, they were not the kind of individuals who would submit to Huwang Xiao.
“Old man, don’t use this kind of gaze to look at me, I’m not interested in you.” Huwang Xiao said and threw several fragments to the Ascending Moon Old Man.
The old man caught the fragments, and when he saw what these were, he stared dazedly at Huwang Xiao, “You, this…!!”
What Huwang Xiao threw to him were godhead fragments of the Heavenly God.
Huwang Xiao grinned, “These are the rest of the fragments of the Heavenly God’s godhead. Adding the one bought at the auction, they make up a complete godhead. Old man, I’ll say this first, you need to provide it back again to me following the Highgod Advancement Tournament ends.”
The Ascending Moon Old Man discrete a sudden holler. He hugged Huwang Xiao, turning in circles as he laughed in pleasure, “Hahaha, I knew I didn’t accept you smelly brat as a disciple in vain!” The old man planted a big wet kiss on Huwang Xiao’s face and vanished in a jiffy, stressed to study the complete Heavenly God’s godhead.
Huwang Xiao couldn’t be quick enough to wipe away the saliva on his face, shuddering in terror, goosebumps all over his body.
Ch.835
As time passed, sixty years came and went in the blink of an vision.
In these six decades, Martial Spirit World’s development flourished, its cities prosperous and bustling.
Countless cultivators came to settle down or trade in the Martial Spirit World, which makes it the second trading hub of the Dark Tortoise Galaxy after the Cloudsea Mainland.
The main factor attracting so many cultivators from all around the galaxy to Martial Spirit World was its incredibly rich and abundant spiritual energy. In these sixty years, Martial Nature World’s rich religious energy had left the Cloudsea Mainland far behind!
One hardly had a need to think to imagine the advantages of cultivating in such a spiritual energy-rich environment.
As a matter of course, the price of shops and residences in the Martial Heart World’s main towns catapulted, rising greater than a thousand times their value in comparison to sixty years back.
Using the Huwang Clan Manor acting as deterrence, no one really dared to cause any big troubles.
Huwang Xiao stayed at the Huwang Clan Manor in those sixty years, cultivating and absorbing the three galaxies’ star force at night while either concocting some pills or advising Shi Xiaofei and his family in their cultivation during the day. The days were simple but fulfilling and happy.
After sixty many years of absorbing the three galaxies’ star force, Huwang Xiao’s strength had reached an unimaginable degree for a God Realm cultivator.
At the time Huwang Xiao subjugated the Green Dragon Beast King and Ancestor Bifang, his strength was at a similar level to them, sufficient to fight either one of them to a draw. Whereas now, even with Green Dragon Beast Ruler and Ancestor Bifang attacking Huwang Xiao at exactly the same time, they were still no match for him.
During this time, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s cultivation that were delayed at peak late-Second Order Highgod Realm finally broke to Third Order after consuming the two-million-year-old herb that Huwang Xiao offered him, becoming the third Highgod Realm master under Huwang Xiao with cultivation reaching the Third Order.
After successfully advancing to Third Order Highgod World, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was actually stronger than the Green Dragon Beast King and Ancestor Bifang by a little margin, yet he too wasn’t a match for Huwang Xiao on an one on one.
By the end of their sparring, the old dragon would be groaning in pain every time.
As a member of the ancient Dragon Clan, with him being a golden dragon as well, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s physical defenses were top tier compared to other demonic beasts. However, Huwang Xiao’s True Dragon Physique was even more powerful than his golden dragon body. You can only imagine how robust his body was.
Each and every time after Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was abused by Huwang Xiao, the main one word he used the most to describe him was ‘freak.’
This repeated until one point, when Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi could no longer bear to endure all the abuse by himself. Each time he sparred with Huwang Xiao after that, he would move over Ancestor Bifang and Green Dragon Beast Ruler as well.
Three against one, they barely were able to battle to a draw with Huwang Xiao.
Each time, the four of these would fight in a segregated space, hence, apart from Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Green Dragon Beast King, and Ancestor Bifang, no one else knew of Huwang Xiao’s true strength, including Shi Xiaofei or any of the Huwang Family.
In these sixty years, the Ascending Moon Old Man practically locked himself in his courtyard, studying and co
mprehending the Heavenly God’s godhead, rarely displaying his face outside.
Yang Yi had also stayed behind in the Huwang Clan Manor during this time period. After all, it couldn't be denied that the spiritual energy here was much richer than in the land of new moon, a lot more beneficial to her cultivation.
As Yang Yi cultivated, she would also guide and advise Shi Xiaofei. Adding on her Pure Luminance Enlightened Buddha Physique, other than Huwang Xiao, Shi Xiaofei’s cultivation improved the quickest in these six decades, reaching peak late-Fifth Order God Realm. Just that half a step more and she could breakthrough to Sixth Order God World.
Naturally, the Huwang Family’s strength had improved significantly. Even the weakest ones, Huwang Peng and Su Yan, were now both mid-Third Order God Realm.
After consuming a huge amount of Amethyst Water Droplet Divine Pills that Huwang Xiao refined, as well as a two-million-year-old medicinal herb, nor forgetting Martial Spirit World’s alarming spiritual energy, it might be hard for the Huwang Family’s strength not to improve.
…
Deep into the night, everything was tranquil and quiet.
Huwang Xiao was position in his yard, contemplating matters about the impending Highgod Advancement Tournament rather than cultivating like he usually did at this time.
There were less than ten years’ time before beginning of the tournament.
Over the years, there hadn't been any shortage of news related to Xiang Mingzhi spreading in the four galaxies.
Some claimed that Xiang Mingzhi had advanced to maximum late-First Order Highgod World or Second Order Highgod Realm, others saying that Xiang Mingzhi had obtained the first Azure Dragon Institute Principal’s heritage and cultivated the durable Body of the Azure Dragon. The Body of the Azure Dragon was the highest technique of the Azure Dragon Institute, not ‘one of the highest’.
It had been said that, when cultivated to major success, a person’s defense would be invincible, possessing power that could destroy heaven and earth.
There have been other rumors as well; a particular one claimed that after mastering the Body of the Azure Dragon, Xiang Mingzhi’s Extreme Lightning Destruction Entire body had undergone great changes, able to manipulate hundreds and thousands of divine lightning streaks, so powerful that he could destroy a world surface in a breathing’s time.
There were many other rumors as well, but all of them had one thing in common; most of them were trumpeting Xiang Mingzhi’s terrifying power.
Although there were also many talks about Huwang Xiao, there have been even more people who were sure that Huwang Xiao would lose to Xiang Mingzhi in the Highgod Advancement Competition. Because Huwang Xiao was still stuck at excellence stage late-Tenth Order God World until now, causing many to tremble their minds while sighing in pity. Many prominent forces in the four galaxies began to mock Huwang Xiao, stating that he had tired his potential, thus was unable to break through to Highgod Realm as yet.
No doubt, it was the forces who had grudges with Huwang Xiao that mocked him, like the Jiang Family, Gudu Family, Wang Family, and others
Towards these mockeries, Huwang Xiao merely sneered, unaffected. How could the sparrow and swallow know the aspirations of the swan?[1]
He'd personally chop off Xiang Mingzhi’s head at the Highgod Advancement Tournament, integrate with the Azure Dragon Divine Fire, and form the sovereign of all godheads!
Apart from Xiang Mingzhi, in the last few years, Huwang Xiao had the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others investigate anything that could lead them to the mysterious Great Lord’s identification.
Unfortunately, there was little success.
He previously told the Ascending Moon Old Man about the mysterious Great Lord, however, not the old man could deduce that person’s identity; the old man do say that the Great Lord probably didn't belong to the four galaxies and most likely possessed the effectiveness of Fourth Order Highgod World or above.
“Fourth Order Highgod Realm and above…” Huwang Xiao repeated to under his breathing, his current strength was no match for a Fourth Order Highgod World cultivator despite being capable of fighting to a draw against Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Green Dragon Beast King, and Ancestor Bifang at the same time. However, if another Order Highgod Realm was placed next to a Fourth Order Highgod Realm, the gap in power between them was like heaven and globe.
A Fourth Order cultivator was already a mid-level Highgod Realm get good at, their strength had gone through earth-shattering changes a Third Order Highgod Realm professional hadn't.
On the other hand, that mysterious Great Lord did not make any moves on the Huwang Clan Manor in those six decades, but Huwang Xiao had a strong feeling that the mysterious Great Lord would make a move during the tournament.
Darkness slowly receded and sunlight peeking from the eastern horizon.
Unknowingly, Huwang Xiao stood there for a whole night, contemplating issues related to Xiang Mingzhi and the mystical Great Lord.
It was a beautiful sunny day, plus some unexpected guests appeared at the Huwang Clan Manor’s doorstep.
“Master!” Huwang Xiao was happy when he saw the person at the front end.
The unexpected guest was none apart from the Black Warrior Institute Principal Feng Yang, his Eldest Apprentice-brother Liu Yun, and Third Apprentice Sister Qi Wen, as well as another person. It was his Second Apprentice-brother Cheng Yang, he was also with Feng Yang.
All these years, Feng Yang have been in death seclusion, that was why it never happened to Huwang Xiao that his Get good at would personally come to the Huwang Clan Manor. He quickly invited Feng Yang, Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen inside.
Meeting again after such a long time, some exchange of pleasantries was unavoidable.
When the Huwang Family was remaining on Golden Dragon Peak inside the Black Warrior Institute, Feng Yang could be reported to be a frequent visitor due to the Ascending Moon Old Man, hence he was acquainted with them.
Still, this was the first time Feng Yang visited Martial Soul World. Even he couldn’t help but compliment its rich religious energy, especially the Huwang Clan Manor’s spiritual energy.
After exchanging pleasantries, Feng Yang said to Huwang Xiao, “Coming over here, I mainly want to talk to you about the Highgod Advancement Competition.”
Huwang Xiao’s ears perked up, his Master personally made a trip here to talk about the tournament, did something change?
As though guessing Huwang Xiao’s thoughts, Feng Yang went straight to the point, “ A couple of days ago I received an edict from the Divine World. This term’s Highgod World Advancement Tournament will include participants from the four galaxies, as well as the neighboring hundred thousand galaxies, all of you will be competing in the same competition.”
Huwang Xiao was flabbergasted, near to 100 thousand galaxies’ cultivators competing!
All the past Highgod Advancement Tournaments only experienced disciples from the four galaxies compete, yet this time there were heading to be disciples from a hundred thousand galaxies?
Ch.836
Huwang Xiao wasn’t the only one shocked by this, even Liu Yun, Cheng Yang, and Qi Wen were as well. This was the very first time they had heard about this news.
Feng Yang went on, “I’m not clear of the specific reason, but I’d think it's an impromptu change caused by a large shot in the Divine World. For why that person do this or their intention, it is not something I can comment on.”
Huwang Xiao’s eye glimmered, ‘Divine World big shot?’ Being able to decide that several thousands of lower realm galaxies will compete in the same Highgod Advancement Competition, this obviously proved this person’s high status.
The four galaxies were governed by the Vientiane Divine World Surface, and those hundred thousand galaxies in the lower realm would at least involve one thousand or so of the Divine World’s territories. That person’s identification and status wasn't something the existing Huwang Xiao could imagine.
Shortly, Huwang Xiao
suppressed the astonishment in his heart, inquiring from Feng Yang, “Master, then what are the rules for this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament?”
Feng Yang explained, “This term’s rules are also different from the past. Before, so long as the individuals hadn’t participated 2 times in the tournament, they were allowed to take part, but this term there are two compulsory conditions; bone-age not exceeding two thousand years old, and a cultivation of at least Ninth Order God Realm.”
“Bone-age of two thousand years and below!” Huwang Xiao, Liu Yun, and the others present exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Feng Yang’s deep gaze swept over Liu Yun and Cheng Yang, nodding: “That’s right.”
Liu Yun and Cheng Yang looked crestfallen, this rule meant that the two of them were not eligible to participate in this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament.
Feng Yang watched his two disciples’ expressions and comforted, “Not being able to take part this time might not be a bad thing ah, the venue because of this term’s tournament is not in the low realm however the Divine World!”
“The Divine World!” All of Feng Yang’s disciples were close to shouting.
The tournament venue being in the Divine World was indeed unexpected.
Feng Yang nodded, “Yes, the competition will be held in a Divine World Surface called Overflowing Lightning. This Overflowing Lightning Divine World Surface births divine lightning atlanta divorce attorneys corner and an instant of carelessness would cost you your daily life, struck to loss of life by divine lightning, not to mention the great quantity of powerful lightning beasts. The weakest ones possess high-level God World strength, and the most powerful one is Third Order, maybe even Fourth Order Highgod Realm!”
“Third Order and Fourth Order Highgod World lightning beasts!” Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen sucked in a breath of cold air, even Huwang Xiao got a heavy expression on his face.
Feng Yang continued, “This term’s competition is a thousand times, ten thousand times more dangerous than the prior ones, the mortality rate of those below the Highgod Realm is sixty or seventy percent higher! Even Highgod Realm masters, ten to twenty percent of them would fall. They are only my estimations, the actual number of deaths could be higher, therefore, participating without sufficient strength may not be a good thing.”
