Chapter 159 Overflowing Spiritual Rank, Vajra Body
Xu Hao entered the room, closed the door tightly, and then activated his Martial Spirit Profound Technique to adjust his essence, energy, and spirit to their optimal state.

Once everything was ready, Xu Hao took out the sealing stone and used a sharp dagger to cut open the black sealing stone's surface, revealing what was inside.

Dragon blood.

It doesn't look blood red, but rather golden yellow.

Even after countless years, the golden dragon blood still exudes an endless fragrance, making one's mouth water at first glance.

Xu Hao took out the Enlightenment Bone, then absorbed a drop and swallowed it.

The dragon's blood melts upon entering the mouth, surging into a boundless energy.

"So powerful!" Xu Hao exclaimed with delight.

The energy of this dragon blood was the most magnificent treasure he had ever seen.

Even a whole lotus root cannot compare.

I can't even imagine how powerful dragon blood, freshly dripped from a dragon's body, would be.

Xu Hao quickly composed himself and used the Martial Spirit Profound Technique to guide the energy of the dragon blood, strengthening himself and his innate Qi.

After absorbing the energy of the dragon's blood, the innate qi quickly transformed into true essence.

Dantian, Niwan Palace, and Xu Hao's body.

It's getting stronger every moment.

Xu Hao felt that with just this dragon blood, he could reach the state of overflowing spirit level.

Dragon blood is truly powerful.

Moreover, with the blessing of the Enlightenment Bone, Xu Hao's cultivation was extremely smooth.

While Xu Hao was cultivating, Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er outside also sensed the aura of the Enlightenment Bone. They exchanged glances, then sat down cross-legged again, using the aura of the Enlightenment Bone to refine themselves.

As Xu Hao continued his cultivation, the outside world remained remarkably peaceful.

Xu Hao demonstrated sufficient strength, and no one else dared to act recklessly.

Moreover, without the secret support of the White-Robed Prime Minister, even the various forces within the Great Xuan Dynasty's territory that sought to turn the tide seemed much calmer.

They stopped rebelling and everyone deployed their troops in various places.

As everyone knows, as long as Xu Hao remains standing in the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty as the Duke of Zhenguo, other forces will have no chance whatsoever.

This is a world where great power is concentrated.

When a force becomes powerful enough, quantity no longer matters.

Time slips away so quickly.

Inside the Xu family's backyard in the capital, Xu Hao was cultivating rapidly. After consuming most of the dragon blood, his body suddenly trembled.

[You have reached the state of overflowing Spirit Rank!]

You have obtained the Vajra Bronze Body!

In an instant, Xu Hao opened his eyes.

He beamed.

Finally, he cultivated to the point where his spiritual level was overflowing.

At this moment, his dantian was filled with true energy.

It has become countless times more powerful.

Moreover, thanks to the blessing of the dragon's blood, his body was strengthened to an unprecedented degree.

He even successfully cultivated the Vajra Body he had previously cultivated and obtained a Bronze Body.

Feeling the powerful energy emanating from his body, Xu Hao quickly opened the Fortune Telling panel to check the details.

[The Vajra Body is a low-level supernatural power in Buddhism, representing the initial stage of indestructibility.]

"Huh? This is also a supernatural power?" Xu Hao revealed a strange expression.

But soon, he smiled.

Although the Copper Body is a low-level supernatural power, it is still more powerful than special traits.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then took out the Evergreen Sword and focused his true energy on it. At the same time, he activated his Bronze Body technique.

Click.

The Evergreen Sword struck his skin with a sharp clang, producing a resounding metallic clang.

This means that attacks from spirit-level beings can no longer penetrate his defenses!
"So powerful?" Xu Hao took out the space shuttle again, poured his true energy into it once more, and then applied it to his skin.

Click, click.

A loud bang echoed, and Xu Hao used a certain amount of force to barely scratch the skin.

"So powerful!" Xu Hao was overjoyed again.

As expected of a supernatural power, even an attack at the Dao-entering level is needed to barely cut through the skin.

If he were to be protected by true essence, even a Dao-entering level cultivator would need to be much stronger to break through his defenses.

Martial arts are truly amazing!
It has a strong inclusiveness.

His exceptionally rigorous training even made Xu Hao feel that he could fight opponents of higher levels.

If he were to add the Dao-level sword techniques he had mastered, as well as the Dao-level spatial shuttle, then even ordinary Dao-level opponents would likely be defeated by him.

"Awesome!" Xu Hao was in a great mood.

He did not stop cultivating, and with the help of increasing the compatibility between his cultivation level and his Dao Bone, he began to comprehend the Shu Mountain Sword Manual.

After a long time, Xu Hao comprehended another sword move at the Dao-level.

Unfortunately, as his cultivation level improved, he could no longer comprehend techniques at the Dao-entry level.

However, Xu Hao did not feel sorry.

There is ample time.

There will be plenty of time in the future.

After stretching his muscles and bones to make sure he was fully adapted, Xu Hao reopened the divination panel.

He has now accumulated as many as nine opportunity refresh points.

Next, he needs to collect twenty-one more to make a total of thirty.

Then he can go and seek out cultivation techniques at the Dao level.

His Spirit Rank was already full; now, he needed to prepare for the Dao Entry Rank.

As for the likes of the White-Robed Prime Minister, he doesn't care about them at all now.

As long as anyone from the Eastern Pole Region dares to come or show even the slightest threat to him, he will make sure they know who is worth messing with and who is not.

Xu Hao stretched and glanced at the sealed stone skin in his virtual panel backpack. After a moment of contemplation, he pushed open the door and went out.

Dragon blood is at the entry-level and has been refined by powerful beings, giving it a tremendous effect on cleansing the body's marrow and tendons.

Although he used up most of it in his cultivation, what was left was enough to create several powerful individuals.

He wants to nurture the Xu family and the Holy Fire Cult members.

We didn't have resources before, but now we do. So let's cultivate some strong individuals so that we don't have to rely on ourselves for everything.

crunch.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Hao saw Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er cultivating in the back courtyard.

He pondered for a moment, then, without disturbing the three women, he took out the Enlightenment Bone and placed it on the stone table in the back courtyard, making the three of them closer and more harmonious.

When Xu Hao had some free time, he took out some materials and began to carve the Domain-Breaking Seal, burying it in some corners of the Xu family home.

The reason we were able to resist the black mist from the evil cultivators last time was thanks to the effect of the patterns in the Domain Breaking Seal.

After his actions, Xu Hao sat quietly to the side.

With nothing else to do, Xu Hao found himself getting bored.

It will take another twenty-one days to collect thirty chance refresh points, which is still a bit troublesome.

A day later, Xuan Qingxiao opened her eyes immediately, her face full of information.

She benefited greatly from this training, directly raising her cultivation level to the late stage of the Heavenly Rank.

This originally required years of accumulation.

But she didn't expect that she would be involved in it in less than a week.

"Duke Xu!" Xuan Qingxiao opened her eyes and immediately saw Xu Hao, greeting him promptly.

"Hmm!" Xu Hao nodded and asked, "Is your cultivation going smoothly?" "Thank you for your concern, Duke Xu. There seems to be some kind of mysterious aura in your back garden that makes me feel very safe to cultivate!" Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao didn't hesitate at all and directly voiced her doubts.

"That's it!" Xu Hao pointed to the Enlightened Bone beside him.

Only then did Xuan Qingxiao notice a bone on the stone table.

She hadn't noticed it before, but when Xu Hao mentioned it, she sensed the past and her mind was suddenly filled with endless light, as if she were growing a brain.

"This thing is incredible!"

This was Xuan Qingxiao's first thought, and then she realized that there was a slight flaw in her previous cultivation.

If improved, it will increase efficiency.

"Young Master!" Just as Xuan Qingxiao was shocked, Qin Feixue and Tang Wan'er opened their eyes and greeted Xu Hao the moment they saw him.

They gained a lot this time.

Qin Feixue only needs to obtain some cultivation resources to raise her life level to the Foundation Establishment Realm, then she will enter the Heavenly Rank.

Tang Wan'er is in the same boat. She has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and needs to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

"Alright, since you're all awake, these things are yours!" Xu Hao said, taking out a black sealing stone from his pocket.

There was also some golden liquid inside.

Although it was only a small amount, just one drop, it would take Xuan Qingxiao and the others a long time to refine it.

"What is this?" Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao's face showed a look of horror.

Just smelling this thing makes one's body show a hint of desire.

It was as if her body, nourished by the golden liquid, would allow her to advance further.

"This is dragon blood, which is beneficial to your cultivation and can strengthen your physique. Cultivate well. Also, if you think there are other people you can trust, you can give them a small amount!" Xu Hao didn't say any more nonsense. After throwing the black sealing stone, he stood up.

After finishing his business here, he had to go to Xu Qianzhi's place.

Although Xu Qianzhi was old and frail, he did not devote himself to cultivation.

But when one person attains enlightenment, even the fish in the pond ascend to heaven.

This is human nature.

Besides, these are things that Xu Hao doesn't need right now.

It's perfectly fine to share it with people around you.

"Is this dragon blood?" Qin Feixue murmured as Xu Hao's figure disappeared into the backyard.

She is a saintess of the Holy Fire Cult, a tradition with a long history.

She naturally understood what dragon blood meant.

Those are mythical creatures from ancient times, a race that dominates the earth and reigns supreme over many powerful beings.

Even the Holy Fire Cult of ancient times would not dare to hope for a treasure like dragon blood.

Because if the dragons were alive, they would never allow anyone to hunt them for their blood.

This thing is truly incredibly precious.

"It seems that Duke Xu really has the ability to enter and exit the ancient ruins of Mount Shu!" Princess Xuan Qingxiao's heart sank slightly.

As a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty and now the regent, she also knows a little about the ancient ruins.

The outer area has been almost completely developed by the Great Xuan Dynasty, and what remains is the land where demons are sealed.

That thing is hard to open, and I don't dare to open it.

There are many powerful demons inside; who would dare to go?

But now it seems that Xu Hao can not only come and go freely, but can even obtain treasures from them.

Such as now.

"With this, we'll definitely be able to cultivate to a very high level, and then we can help Young Master Xu!" Tang Wan'er had other ideas.

She felt that this was a reward from Xu Hao to them, and all they needed to do was cultivate diligently, not hold Xu Hao back, and be able to help him in the future.

"Hmm, not bad!" Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao nodded.

"Then let's cultivate!" Qin Feixue pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case.

They need not express their gratitude, and besides, they are all Xu Hao's women; now they only need to focus on their cultivation.

Once I've finished my training, I can treat myself to a nice meal tonight.

Anyway, Xu Hao knew a variety of tricks, and they tried them all to satisfy him.

In the front hall of the courtyard, Xu Hao sat down next to Xu Qianzhi.

"What's wrong? Why are you so relaxed today?" Xu Qianzhi sipped his fragrant tea and looked at Xu Hao's arrival with a hint of surprise.

Normally, Xu Hao is either playing around with Qin Feixue and others, cultivating, or on duty at the palace.

It's quite rare for me to come and keep him company like this today.

"Yes, I acquired some treasures and would like to present them to you as a token of my respect!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

"What good stuff?" Xu Qianzhi immediately became interested.

He was also excited for a while after entering the country.

But as time went on, he became somewhat lax, because cultivation was truly a tedious and boring thing.

Moreover, his cultivation speed is really slow.
Xu Hao didn't say much. He took out a small drop of dragon blood, placed it in front of Xu Qianzhi, and said directly, "I'll help you refine it!"

"Okay!" Xu Qianzhi didn't say anything more and just opened his mouth.

boom.

As the dragon blood entered Xu Qianzhi's mouth, a surge of energy immediately erupted.

Xu Qianzhi immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Xu Hao quickly circulated his cultivation technique to regulate the energy of the dragon blood.

This was diluted, and only a tiny drop; otherwise, it could have really caused Xu Qianzhi to explode.

Under Xu Hao's guidance, Xu Qianzhi's body is constantly getting stronger.

Boom boom boom.

In an instant, a dragon-shaped phantom appeared in the sky above the Xu family's residence.

This is because Xuan Qingxiao and the others did not possess a perfect concealment technique like Xu Hao.

All the energy was dissipating, and naturally, unusual phenomena appeared.

"What is that?" In the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, many people were stunned by the strange phenomenon.

Although the dragon was an illusion, its oppressive aura was very real.

Everyone was speculating about what treasure the Xu family had acquired.

But not a single person dared to sneak into the Xu family home to investigate.

The rumors spread quickly.

"Hmm? There's a dragon shadow above the Xu family? What's going on?" Outside the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, a group of people were traveling in a beast-drawn carriage.

They were a vanguard team of powerful individuals from the Eastern Extreme Region.

Many forces in the Eastern Extremity Region have already united and are preparing to come to the Great Xuan Dynasty to see what's going on.

If there really is a treasure, they wouldn't mind taking a share from Xu Hao.

This convoy had this purpose in mind: to first be courteous and then resort to force.

If Xu Hao is willing to share the profits, then the Eastern Extremity Region will be giving face to the local forces.

Of course, if Xu Hao shows any disrespect, they will let him know the true strength of the Eastern Extreme Region.

It was this group of people who, upon receiving intelligence, immediately began to analyze it.

"Dragon Shadow, could it be that the Xu family has obtained an extraordinary treasure?"

"Quick, speed up! I can't wait to see what it is!" A richly dressed young man in the carriage exclaimed excitedly.
