At the moment, inside the Aeon City’s Gathering Cloud Pavilion’s building, disciples from various prominent families were gathered, discussing the upcoming Highgod Advancement Tournament.
“Say, in this time’s Highgod Advancement Competition, who do you men think will snatch the first place? Wangu Yanhui or Zhou Yao?” A certain family disciple dressed in brocade scarlet robes posed the question to his companions. On the chest of the disciple’s scarlet robe was embroidered the emblem of a blossoming fire, the crest of 1 of the Eternal Galaxy’s super clans.
“Our Wangu Clan’s Wangu Yanhui has already broken through to Fourth Order Highgod Realm early on, the first place in this term’s tournament is definitely his! ” A Wangu Clan disciple stressed confidently.
“Hmph, our Zhou Clan’s Zhou Yao has recently comprehended the dao of getting rid of, reaching the perfection realm in our Zhou Clan’s Sword Canon. Not too long ago, Zhou Yao slaughtered a Fourth Order Highgod World demonic beast, the first place in this term’s Highgod Advancement Competition is non-e apart from Zhou Yao’s!” A Zhou Clan disciple retorted.
“Who knows, maybe it'll be neither Wangu Yanhui nor Zhou Yao.” A Mu Clan disciple spoke, “Our Mu Clan’s Mu Qing has effectively exceeded the fourth floor of the Devil Tower, obtaining a devil crystal and forging his Devil Blade. When the Devil Knife appears, Wangu Yanhui and Zhou Yao are no match for our Mu Clan’s Mu Qing!”
In an instant, these disciples started bickering incessantly.
…
The Everlasting Galaxy was one of the hundred thousand galaxies included in the upcoming Highgod Advancement Tournament. Even though its overall forces were somewhat weaker than Eternal Galaxy’s, the Everlasting Galaxy was the oldest & most strange galaxy; here, the Fortune Gate stood above all others, the most powerful sect in the complete Everlasting Galaxy.
It had been said that this Lot of money Gate was a heritage left by a great person of the Divine World in the low world, rumored to be the most powerful cultivation in this lower realm.
In the Fortune Gate building’s great hall, Fortune Gate Chief Wang Yu had all Grand Elders assembled to discuss a very important factor, the Highgod Advancement Competition.
“Within this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament, our Fortune Gate’s Fang Chu can definitely take the first place. ” A Fortune Gate Grand Elder spoke first.
“Fang Chu is our Lot of money Gate’s greatest talent in a million years, being able to form the Fortune Gate in just one thousand eight century of cultivation; although it is only a vague form of the gate, the average Fourth Order Highgod Realm expert wouldn't be his match.” Chief Wang Yu nodded in contract, adding, “Taking a spot in the very best three shouldn’t be problematic for him. The first place, however, it is hard to state.”
“Chief is overestimating the others’ strength, even the Eternal Galaxy’s Wangu Yanhui, Zhou Yao, and Mu Qi are not a match for Fang Chu for me.” The Lot of money Gate’s Grand Elder continued, “When Fang Chu obtains the first place, he’ll bring abundant auspicious qi to our Fortune Gate, restoring our glorious days from the historic times!”
Similar scenes were occurring in a variety of places within the 100 thousand galaxies. Almost all prominent makes in these galaxies were discussing the same topic, how dazzling their sect’s disciples will be in the upcoming Highgod Advancement Competition.
These prominent sects and families were generously taking out the various rare treasures that they had been hoarding for their most talented disciples to refine in order to boost their strength, hence increasing their likelihood of getting better results.
Obviously, Huwang Xiao wasn’t alert to all this.
Seated cross-legged inside the Xumi Temple, seventeen strands of essence floated right out of the two-million-years-old herbs, flooding Huwang Xiao’s body, while the Treasure Dragon diagram was greedily devouring that energy.
Then again, the essence from seventeen stalks of two-million-year-old herbs entering his body at the same time was just a little overwhelming. Despite having his True Dragon Physique, Huwang Xiao found it hard to bear.
At one point, the essence energy was so abundant that Huwang Xiao became bloated. Then his body continuing to expand, stretching his skin and flesh so much that blood began to ooze out from the fine cracks.
These minuscule dots of blood oozing away from his skin were slightly dark, and after a while, they started emitting a very faint grey qi.
The seventeen medicinal herbs were expelling the last traces of impurities from Huwang Xiao’s body.
Inwardly, Huwang Xiao felt as though every part of his body was being torn apart with a horrifying giant monster. His body protested from the tearing pain that came in never-ending waves, but Huwang Xiao gritted his teeth like he was biting on the last shred of awareness, absorbing all the fact energy and turning it into god fight qi and true immortal essence force.
Again and again, he compressed the push within his Qi Sea and dantian to make more space, so that he could continue steadily to absorb even more energy.
In fact, in the last sixty years, he previously been compressing the energies in his Qi Sea and dantian to the extreme. Even now, he was doing a similar thing. Like a piece of steel being tempered, under Huwang Xiao’s repeated compression, his Qi Sea and dantian became harder when compared to a divine artifact.
At the same time, his soul was also tempered by the essence energy of that seventeen two-million-years-old herb, causing his spirit’s clarity to attain another level, sharp and intense.
One year, 2 yrs, three years…
Gradually, Huwang Xiao’s bloated body started shrinking back to his normal size. Bloodstream continued to ooze out, but his skin was emitting a prism of vibrant lights.
These lights were condensed from the essence of these seventeen medicinal herbs.
Soon, seven years had passed.
The seventeen two-million-years-old-old herbs that were floating in front of Huwang Xiao turned to ashes and crumbled, disappearing from the world. Two months earlier, Huwang Xiao acquired already refined every last strand of their substance.
Still sitting in a cross-legged posture, Huwang Xiao opened his eyes. Within the next instant, he appeared in the outer space above the Martial Nature World.
Then blew out a breathing. His breathing converted into waves of energy rushing outward, reaching so far as a million li before vanishing.
“Seven years have approved, it’s time to head to the Black Warrior Institute.” Huwang Xiao muttered under his breath. Just by standing there he exuded a whelming aura.

Outside of the Huwang Clan Manor, all the Huwang Family members, Shi Xiaofei, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Xie Puti, the Violet Heart Devourer Monkey Huwang Xiaoyong, Blessed Buddha Emperor Shi Fantian, Lil’ Tian, and others were sending Huwang Xiao off.
Shi Xiaofei’s eye were red and teary, she already knew how dangerous this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament was. Despite the fact that she had always been strong, this time around she couldn’t hold her tears back.
Huwang Xiao gently brushed away a tear running down her face, his voice soft and low, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely return, so when I come back, I’ll give you the grandest wedding.” He leaned in, printing a gentle kiss on her behalf forehead.
Being kissed by Huwang Xiao in public, Shi Xiaofei’s cheeks switched red at a visible rate. She nodded softly at Huwang Xiao’s promise.
Huwang Xiao then bid farewell to his parents as well as others, telling them never to worry about him.
Su Yan said to Huwang Xiao, “Xiao, your Get good at Feng Yang told us before that there will be many late and top late-Third Order, even Fourth Order Highgod World masters participating in this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament, therefore, it’s alright if you don't have the ability to enter the top one thousand. The important thing is that you come back securely.”
Huwang Xiao smiled wryly in his heart, responding with a tease, “Yes, I understand moth
er, I'll definitely take a spot among the very best thousand and return.”
Su Yan smiled, “You brat only know how to make mom happy.”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Green Dragon Beast King, and Ancestor Bifang who had been standing up behind Huwang Xiao felt their faces twitch. Yesterday, after Huwang Xiao exited seclusion, he went to look for the three of these and had a small sparring session.
They fought three against one, yet these were miserably beaten up from check out toe, truly pitiful. At that point, their handsome faces were swollen into pig heads. Although they had consumed sacred quality divine pellet for healing, different parts of their physiques still experienced a faint numbing pain right now.
“Senior Dragon Emperor, is everything alright? Three Seniors don't look that well.” Huwang Xiao’s nephew, Guo Xiaofan suddenly said.
Everyone only realized after Guo Xiaofan pointed it out, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Green Dragon Beast Ruler, and Ancestor Bifang really didn’t look well.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi hastened to explain with a stiff smile on his face, “The three of us went slightly overboard during cultivation yesterday, nothing a couple of days of rest won’t cure.”
Green Dragon Beast King and Ancestor Bifang quickly nodded their mind.
The rest were baffled, did cultivating too much cause a person’s face to swell and become red and green?
Huwang Xiao flashed a huge grin at him, “I say, Old Dragon, you guys should be more careful in the foreseeable future.”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi thought the muscles on his face twitch even harder, ‘You kid, couldn’t you hold back a little yesterday?’ Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi grumbled in a voice transmission he delivered to Huwang Xiao’s brain.
Huwang Xiao replied in the same manner, ‘I’ve already held back again yesterday.’
In every truthfulness, during yesterday’s sparring, Huwang Xiao did hold back, otherwise, the old dragon and the other two might be too embarrassed to turn out and see people for a number of months.
Huwang Xiao exhorted his family about some issues then flew away before many reluctant gazes, further and additional away.
A short time later, Huwang Xiao reached Martial Spirit World’s transmission array. This grand transmitting array and the ones in neighboring world areas had been completed many years ago.
When the guards stationed at the transmission array saw Huwang Xiao, the Martial Spirit Worlds’ highest existence, arriving at the transmission array, most of them bowed low in greeting and quickly activated the transmission array for him.
Only a long time after Huwang Xiao disappeared did the guards dare to straighten their backs.
Huwang Xiao passed through several transmission arrays, achieving the Cloudsea Mainland a day later. Following that, he flew toward the Dark Warrior City. Not losing even a moment, Huwang Xiao went right to the city’s transmitting array to enter the Black Warrior Institute’s grounds and flew directly to Feng Yang’s manor.
Feng Yang have been waiting for Huwang Xiao for a few days now. After seeing him arrive, the two of them set out again, leaving the Dark Warrior Institute, beginning their journey to the Eternal Galaxy.
Although Liu Yun, Chen Yang, and Qi Wen weren’t in a position to participate this time, the three of them still followed Feng Yang and Huwang Xiao to the Eternal Galaxy.
Feng Yang’s intention was to have them gain experience.
Because of the new regulations, there were no other disciples from the Black Warrior Institute permitted participate in the Highgod Advancement Competition except for Huwang Xiao, thus, there have been only the four disciples and their get better at in their group. This also made Feng Yang secretly lament their Dark Warrior Institute’s poor heritage.
Not long after Feng Yang and his four disciples still left the Black Warrior Institute, inside the WuHuwang Peak’s main hall, the individual seating on the host seat was none other than the young man obscured in a mysterious light, the Mirage King.
“Lord Mirage Ruler, Feng Yang and Huwang Xiao are on their way to the Eternal Galaxy.” Beside him, Wang Na reported.
Mirage King nodded, “I know.”
Wang Na had more to say but dared not.
The Mirage King glanced at her, saying, “The Great Lord will also be a part of the coming tournament and will individually deal with Huwang Xiao. There is no chance Huwang Xiao will be able to return to Martial Soul World again. You are able to gradually grind away the Huwang Clan Manor’s power, as for what to do with the Huwang Family, I’ll leave that to you.”
Wang Na beamed with joy, “Many thanks, Lord Mirage Ruler.”
The mysterious light around Mirage King flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
After the Mirage King had left, Grand Elder He Zhiwu took a step of progress, a flattering smile fond of Wang Na gleaming on his face, “With the fantastic Lord personally making a move, that Huwang Xiao will be dead for sure! When that time comes, Primary Wang Na can smoothly dominate the Black Warrior Institute’s Principal position.”
Wang Na threw her head back in a loud spiteful laughter, “Your day I take over the Principal position is your day of the Huwang Clan Manor’s destruction!”
Although there was still half of a year’s time until the day of the tournament, just like Huwang Xiao, all the various Patriarchs brought their participating disciples and made their way to the Eternal Galaxy.
In a short period of your time, people were getting into the Eternal Galaxy from all directions.
Due to the far distance between the Dark Tortoise Galaxy and the Eternal Galaxy, furthermore, without transmission array connecting one galaxy to another, more than four a few months had passed when Huwang Xiao’s group attained the Eternal Galaxy.
When their group reached the Eternal Mainland more than four months later, they were amazed by the scene before them, countless cultivators were flooding to the Eternal Mainland from all directions.
Many years ago, when Huwang Xiao first arrived at the Royal Pill City for the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, he was astonished at how big and profitable it was, but the scene in front of him was even more amazing and astounding.
Cultivators in the trillions coming over from various galaxies were like fireflies, group after group, traveling recent them. Huwang Xiao noticed that the weakest ones of the new arrivals still possessed high-level God Realm cultivation, whereas Highgod World masters which were hard to come across in one thousand years flew by Huwang Xiao’s eyes more than once.
Afterwards, Feng Yang’s larynx moved visibly as he gulped, saying, “Let’s head to the Aeon City first to join up, then look for a place to stay.” With that said, he led his four disciples, flying toward the Eternal Mainland that was larger than the attention could see.
The five of these flew above the Eternal Mainland. Amazement filled them as these were taking a look at the towering buildings and large metropolitan areas below, at the huge population.
It felt like there is a city in every direction they looked. There have been people everywhere, as well as green forests, streams, and speckles of flowers; compared to this Eternal Mainland, the Black Tortoise Galaxy’s Cloudsea Mainland was simply a poor backward land.
Ch.840
Feng Yang’s group spent another day traveling before getting Aeon City.
Standing before the city gates, viewing the majestic grandeur before him, the town walls that reached as high as the clouds, Feng Yang sighed ruefully, “This is a true city of the eons ah…” He viewed at Huwang Xiao and the rest, explaining, “It is said that Aeon City has existed for more than 100 million years.”
“More than 100 million years!” All four disciples exclaimed with widened eye.
Even a divine artifact would deteriorate after a hundred million years, turning into dust. Yet, this Aeon City that was even older than that still stood tall on this piece of land!
How long ago had the Dark Warrior Institute been founded? Twenty to thirty million years?
Feng Ya
ng went on, “From I what heard, its age is near to 200 mil years, but whether it is true or false nobody can say for sure. This Aeon City is governed by the Eternal Galaxy’s most effective family, the Wangu Clan.”
Huwang Xiao couldn’t resist asking, “This Wangu Clan has also existed for greater than a 100 million years?”
Feng Yang nodded, “Correct, the Wangu Clan has been around for more than a 100 mil years, their clan’s forces are spread to hundreds of the neighboring galaxies. It can be said that the Eternal Galaxy is one of the strongest galaxies amongst those involved in this term’s competition.”
“Professional, among the tens of thousands of galaxies, is the Wangu Clan the oldest family?” Qi Wen asked.
Who thought Feng Yang would shake his head, answering, “No,”
“It isn't?!” Huwang Xiao and his Senior Apprentice- brothers and Senior Apprentice-sister were shocked.
Feng Yang nodded, “The oldest the first is the Everlasting Galaxy’s Fortune Gate. However, in term of strength alone, the Lot of money Gate is slightly below the Wangu Clan, but that doesn’t mean the Fortune Gate isn't strong.”
There is one sentence that Feng Yang didn’t say to his disciples. Before giants like the Wangu Clan and the Lot of money Gate, his Black Warrior Institute was only an ant, perhaps they couldn't even be looked at an ant.
After each of them paid ten high saint grade spirit stones, Feng Yang’s group entered the city together with disciples from various other galaxies.
Just as they passed through the town gates, Huwang Xiao’s gaze fell on the great towering statue some distance away. It was the statue of a few hundred zhang high fearsome qilin!
The divine beast, qilin!
Feng Yang looked at the large statue, speaking to his disciples, “You all probably never imagined that the Wangu Clan’s first ancestor isn't from the human race.”
“Not from the people?” All four were stunned as a thought flashed through their minds, ‘Could it be…?’
