Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 103 Half-step to Heaven
One step, two steps.

The white-clad strategist Bai Xi kept staring at Xu Hao, not wanting to miss any details.

However, when Xu Hao walked out of sight, everything was fine.

Where is the promised attack?

Where is the blood demon?

"What's going on?" The white-robed strategist frowned and looked at his men.

"Sir, perhaps it's not the right time yet!" a spy said. "The fight is almost over, yet Xu Hao is still on patrol. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on. I think Lord Blood Demon has received some information and is preparing to take action against the Xu family!"

"Hmm!" The white-robed strategist Bai Xi pondered for a moment and then said, "Keep an eye on the Xu family. Report any signs of trouble immediately!"

"Yes!"

Not only the eldest prince's family, but also spies from many other forces were paying attention to Xu Hao's every move.

Many people are even waiting for the next move from the eldest prince's family.

The result was nothing, everything was calm.

Xu Hao quickened his pace. As he walked through the street, he naturally felt the gazes of people all around him.

But he didn't care too much.

As long as you don't take action against him, there's nothing to lose by just taking a look.

What's more, the Ninth Princess's faction has placed a heavy bet on him and even given him a heavenly-level technique, so they think nothing will happen to him.

Soon, Xu Hao returned to the Xu family and entered the courtyard.

"Young Master!" Qin Feixue came forward immediately and wanted to undress Xu Hao.

"A fight is about to start. I'm going to be in seclusion for the next period of time, so you don't have to come for the time being!" Xu Hao declined Qin Feixue's tenderness.

Although he wanted to enter the land of gentleness immediately, cultivation was still more important.

The innate level and the earth level are two completely different levels, so Xu Hao must improve his own cultivation as soon as possible.

"Yes!" Qin Feixue nodded and stepped back understandingly.

Not at all muddle-headed.

Xu Hao smiled.

He was very satisfied with Qin Feixue's performance.

As expected of the Holy Lady of the Holy Fire Cult, she knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Xu Hao returned to his room and closed the door tightly.

A maid behind Qin Feixue looked at Xu Hao's back and whispered, "Miss?"

Qin Feixue waved her hand and said calmly, "It's okay, just be prepared to evacuate at any time!"

When Xu Hao entered the room, he did not pay attention to Qin Feixue's expression, because his attention had already been on the two sealing stones he had just obtained.

When Xu Hao entered the room, he immediately took out two black sealing stones.

Without any hesitation, Xu Hao picked up a sharp dagger and began to peel off the stone skin of the sealing stone.

Click, click.

Soon, the items inside the black sealing stone appeared.

They were two pieces of unknown animal skin, but they were extremely tough and smooth.

Even after countless years, it still looks as good as new.

It is engraved with words, symbols and pictures.

"Is this the secret record of swordsmanship?" Xu Hao first picked up a sword manual.

It looks like a sword manual, but in fact it is a kind of martial arts method that can condense the sword heart and lay a good foundation for becoming a sword immortal in the future.

Xu Hao looked at it with envy.

Because this was his childhood dream.

He had dreamed of riding a flying sword a long time ago. Now the skills were right in front of him. As long as he wanted, he could become the backup of the sword immortal.

Xu Hao hesitated for a moment, but decided to give up.

Although he has dreams, he wants to become stronger even more.

The Sword Immortal is very powerful, but he also has a weakness, which is that his defense is too weak.

This obviously fixed system is easy to be targeted and does not perfectly fit his own skills.

Xu Hao could only endure the pain.

He picked up the other Xiantian Yi Qigong animal skin and read it carefully.

After a while, an ecstatic look appeared on Xu Hao's face.

After reading about Xiantian Qigong, he discovered that it was indeed the pinnacle of martial arts and an unparalleled skill.

Once the training is completed, he will be able to use all martial arts, including the sword immortal branch of the sword path.

Although he may not be able to reach the level of elegance of a sword immortal, he can still perform some sword-controlling techniques.

In particular, Xu Hao's strength still starts from the chaos strength. This kind of strength has no special attributes and special restrictions, which allows him to practice the perfect innate Qigong.

"No wonder the fortune-telling said that the Xiantian Qigong is the most perfect fit for me, so that I can kill two birds with one stone?!" After reading it, Xu Hao was excited and then sighed.

Xiantian Qigong is very powerful, as can be seen from the fact that it is called supreme.

It is very difficult to practice it. Each stage requires extreme promotion. Moreover, when refining qi, blood and strength, it is necessary to practice various attributes, or no attributes.

Countless geniuses and evildoers have been stuck at this level.

There is basically no force without attributes, because everyone's body has more or less attributes.

Even the previous Chaos Power had countless errors and could not be cultivated into Chaos Power.

The reason why Xu Hao was able to succeed in his cultivation was entirely due to the chance and divination. Otherwise, he could only practice the so-called five elements, or yin and yang and other qi and blood strength according to the foundation of Xiantian Qigong.

But in that case, although you can practice Xiantian Qigong, you cannot achieve the highest achievement of Xiantian Qigong.

Because of a chance fortune-telling, Xu Hao accidentally reached the most difficult level of Xiantian Qigong.

This is also why it is said that Xiantian Qigong is the most perfect fit for him.

It was as if this technique was created just for him.

Blessed with natural advantages.

Xu Hao read it carefully and already had the steps of cultivation in his mind.

The practice method of Xiantian Qigong is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in meeting its stringent prerequisites.

Xu Hao had already reached that level. He only needed to practice step by step so that the power of chaos could be smoothly transformed into innate qi.

Xu Hao took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to adjust his energy and spirit.

When his energy and spirit reached its peak, Xu Hao mobilized his strength and then practiced it according to the Xiantian Qigong cultivation method.

boom.

It was as if a dam was opened, and the force flowed rapidly like a rushing river.

When crossing the dam, a trace of electrical energy was converted, and then a trace of a breath that was not acquired formed in Xu Hao's body, gathered, and then grew stronger.

Everything just fell into place.

For an ordinary person, it would be extremely difficult to transform strength into innate qi, and it would take time to accumulate.

Many people may not even be able to transform their own strength into innate qi in their entire lives.

It is mainly about transforming from acquired to innate, which requires a huge amount.

Only when the quantity reaches its extreme will a qualitative change occur.

Ordinary people only care about the speed of cultivation, and after reaching the peak of a level, they can't wait to advance. This leads to insufficient foundation and even the unique characteristics are not stimulated.

At this level, if one wants to transform strength into innate qi, there are many things that need to be accumulated.

But Xu Hao was different. He spent a lot of resources on cultivation and did not blindly pursue the speed of cultivation. He even condensed unique characteristics at each level.

When it comes to the depth of his foundation, I'm afraid no one can match him.

Therefore, after obtaining the correct skills, all Xu Hao had to do was to go with the flow.

Everything is so natural.

boom.

After a few breaths, a wisp of innate qi was completely born.

This is a strand of attributeless innate energy, benefiting from the power of chaos.

Likewise, it can be varied.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Hao's dream of becoming a "Sword Immortal" did not give up after he saw the martial arts technique.

This kind of innate energy can summarize all martial arts.

With the birth of the first strand of innate qi, the subsequent practice became easier.

But Xu Hao remained focused, and at the same time he was also practicing the Wumen Qi-gathering Technique to suppress his innate aura to prevent the news from leaking out in advance.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao continued to practice, and the chaotic energy in his dantian was constantly transformed. At the same time, his cultivation was also slowly improving.

Time passes slowly.

one day……

Two days...

Time passed quietly.

Outside the Xu family's gate, countless people and forces have been paying attention, and the most anxious among them is the white-clothed strategist Bai Xi.

"What's going on? The Blood Demon hasn't made a move yet and has missed so many great opportunities. If we wait any longer, we'll have to fight for the flag!" The white-robed strategist had a gloomy face.

At first, he thought that the Blood Demon was looking for another opportunity, but when the time and opportunity arose, the Blood Demon remained unmoved.

He couldn't even detect a trace of the Blood Demon's breath.

Now, it has been twenty-eight days. In three or four days, it will be the time agreed upon by the eldest prince and the ninth princess.

If you don’t take action now, you will have no chance!
"Don't worry, sir. I don't think the Blood Demon will stand us up!" A spy spoke quickly.

"Hmph!" The strategist in white clothes waved his sleeves and left.

One day, two days passed.

The Xu family is still safe.

There was no attacking action.

This made the white-clad strategist Bai Xi unable to sit still any longer.

"He wouldn't just take the deposit and run away, right?" This was the only guess the white-clad strategist Bai Xi could make.

After all, they haven't taken any action until now. As time goes by, the Ninth Princess's family will definitely send a large number of strong guards near the Xu family.

By then, not even a fly would be able to fly in, let alone attack Xu Hao.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, how dare you stand me up!" The white-robed strategist Bai Xi was furious.

He was assigned by the eldest prince to find the Blood Demon and hunt down Xu Hao, but the Blood Demon disappeared halfway.

How could he go back and report?
It is said that the Blood Demon was afraid of death and took the deposit and left?
Come to think of it, the Great Xuan Dynasty was extremely weak in the past. Even the White Lotus Sect dared to attack the imperial palace in a high-profile manner. Wasn't it because they thought that the Great Xuan Dynasty was already in ruins and anyone could bully it?

But the result was unexpected. Even the leader of the White Lotus Sect was killed, which also made some villains feel awe.

Therefore, now that the Ninth Princess has gained power, other forces must be a little scared.

This is human nature.

"It seems that the disastrous defeat of the White Lotus Sect has caused some evil forces to have unrealistic fears!" The white-robed strategist Bai Xi sighed helplessly.

The White Lotus Sect was fooled last time, and with the help of the eldest prince in secret, the White Lotus Sect thought it could shine. As a result, two heavenly-level powerful men suddenly appeared in the inner city of the palace, and even the leader of the White Lotus Sect fell.

The evil forces at this moment are like a frightened bird, and they are unlikely to be fooled anymore.

"But you've caused me so much trouble. You said you were one step ahead, but in the end you escaped first." The white-robed strategist clenched his fists.

The eldest prince has a perverse personality, is extremely narrow-minded, and is vindictive.

Although it was the Blood Demon's fault, he must definitely be punished.

"Sir, the eldest prince asks you to meet him!" Just as the white-robed strategist Bai Xi was thinking about how to report, a spy came hurriedly and reported with a fist salute.

"Got it!" The white-robed strategist Bai Xi waved his hand and thought for a moment. He could only grit his teeth and go to the eldest prince's bedroom.

"Hahaha!" Before the white-robed strategist Bai Xi arrived, he heard the eldest prince's exaggerated laughter, which was full of confidence and certainty of victory.

"Report, Bai Xi is outside the door asking to see you!" A voice sounded, followed by the eldest prince's powerful voice, 'Come in!'

Bai Xi hurriedly bowed and walked in. After standing in his seat, he raised his head and saw a middle-aged man on the right side of the eldest prince.

Then, the white pupils shrank.

He was familiar with this person, and could even say that he was familiar with him.

Because this person's name is Zhao Chenggao, the top master ranked seventh on the Earth List.

The top 50 on the Earth Ranking is the threshold for possessing Heavenly Grade combat power. Who wins and who loses depends entirely on the situation at the time, as well as the existence of some mutually restraining systems.

But when it comes to the top 20, restraint becomes a bit difficult and it depends on the right time, place and people.

Anyone can win or lose. The reason there is a ranking is that it is determined based on each person's record.

As for the top ten on the Earth List, they are definitely the ten strongest people below the Heavenly Rank. Some of them can even fight against true Heavenly Rank masters and remain undefeated.

Like Zhao Chenggao, he is the youngest among the top ten.

Everyone is saying that Zhao Chenggao must have a place on the Earth Ranking among those who can achieve the Heavenly Rank recently.

"Haha, this is the person I invited to fight against Xuan Qingxiao. Bai Xi, what do you think?" The ambitious eldest prince laughed heartily.

He spent a huge amount of money to invite Zhao Chenggao, so naturally he wanted to show off.

In other words, he still has some intelligence and wants to discuss things with a strategist.

Otherwise, with his personality, he would want to publicize it in a high-profile and lavish manner, just to see the Ninth Princess's surprise and shock when she found out that he had invited the seventh master on the Earth List.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness, for inviting Lord Zhao. The duel on the first day of next month is already a sure win!" Bai Xi, the white-robed strategist, knew the eldest prince's character and immediately bowed and clasped his fists in congratulations. "Your Highness is wise, planning and winning battles from afar!"

He knew that his fault for failing to invite the Blood Demon was much smaller.

"Haha! Good, good, good!" The eldest prince burst into laughter when he heard the white-robed strategist's flattery.

Ranked seventh on the Earth List, Zhao Chenggao is like the rising sun, so he is already a sure winner.

Even if the opponent is number one on the Earth List, the eldest prince feels that he has a great chance of winning.

What's more, the other party is just a young rag-and-bone guy named Xu Hao. Even if he has some qualifications and means, can he be compared with the top ten on the Earth List?

Victory is already certain.

Now it depends on how to win, how to win in a crushing manner, and then suppress the Ninth Princess.

During this period of time, the eldest prince dreamed of seeing the ninth princess's lost expression.
