Chapter 173 The Dark Alliance is Approaching
"A new king is being welcomed; are you referring to me?"

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Isn't this introduction just about him?
In this world today, who else possesses his formidable fighting prowess?
He belongs to the martial arts system and has obtained resources at the Nascent Soul level, making him virtually flawless.

With the added power of his supernatural abilities, Xu Hao felt that he could easily take on ten opponents at once.

The only drawback is that the energy in his dantian and niwan palace is limited, and it will be exhausted after fighting ten large-scale battles at most.

This is what we fear is a sudden invasion from another world.

"Never mind that for now, let's cultivate to the full potential of the Dao Entry level first, then we'll see what else happens!" Xu Hao pondered for a moment, quietly waiting for the divination to reveal its opportunity.

As Xu Hao waited calmly, the divination tool began to display information about the divination positions:

[A medium-low fortune: At 2:45 PM, go to the No. 111 courtyard of the Imperial Palace and use the Domain-Breaking Seal to break through the seal of the space. You will then obtain a Nascent Soul level opportunity.]

The weasel and the blood dragon in the sealed space are already in conflict. It's advisable to offer them some small rewards, though this is slightly dangerous!

[If you win the lottery, do nothing, and after a night, everything will be calm. Everything will be stable, no worries, and peace.]

[Auspicious sign: At 3:45 PM, go to 356 meters south of Weiyang Lake and use the Domain-Breaking Seal to open it, and you will obtain a Nascent Soul level opportunity.]

However, your seizing of an opportunity from another world has already incurred the wrath of the Demon King, creating a major karmic debt. For now, all is well.

[Due to your current status and cultivation level, you can search for mid-level sealed Nascent Soul stage opportunities. Please improve your status and cultivation level.]

"That's right, as your cultivation level increases, the danger level drops dramatically!"

Xu Hao looked at the three draw positions presented and remained calm.

What used to be dangerous to him is now insignificant.

Xu Hao immediately turned his gaze over and examined it carefully.

Of the three slots, only two have specific information.

The first draw, which was considered a low-to-medium result, made Xu Hao realize that his cultivation and combat strength were already at the top level in the sealed space.

Of course, this does not mean that all the great demons in the sealed space are at the Dao entry level.

There is a high probability that he will reach the Nascent Soul stage.

However, due to the passage of time, there is no energy in the sealed space, and the cultivation of the great demons will gradually decline.

In this way, a weakened Nascent Soul cultivator might not be as powerful as someone like Xu Hao who has entered the Dao realm.

Therefore, a medium to low fortune indicates a slightly unlucky outcome.

Of course, although it's slightly dangerous, Xu Hao isn't planning to try it yet.

The main problem is that there are too many powerful demons sealing the space.

One-on-one, or even one-on-two, is only slightly dangerous, but one-on-many is a completely different story.

Xu Hao's cultivation level is at its peak, but there is a limit, and the energy level in the real world is not high enough.

Once too much energy is consumed, it's impossible to replenish it during battle.

Therefore, even though Xu Hao is a strong figure in the martial arts system, he still fears endless battles.

"Let's play it safe for now. With stable income, there's no need to rush into anything!"

Xu Hao looked down at the auspicious fortune slip.

As long as he can still obtain stable income, Xu Hao will not take any risks.

Accumulate ample grain and delay declaring oneself king; this is the most prudent strategy.

Xu Hao's eyes swept over the auspicious fortune slip, and then a thought struck him.

He used to fleece the Blood Dragon, and now he's fleecing a demon king from another world?
After examining the area and confirming that it wouldn't cause much harm, Xu Hao immediately headed towards Weiyang Lake.

Xu Hao arrived at the shore, covered his entire body with his true energy, and then walked into the depths of Weiyang Lake, heading to the place specified by the divination panel.

Xu Hao glanced at the time and then began to inscribe the Domain Breaking Seal.

Meanwhile, inside the sealed space.

The Blood Dragon and the Weasel stared at each other, then looked away.

The most exhausting thing is to wait in tediously.

They originally thought Xu Hao would come soon to steal cultivation resources, but after waiting for so long, they haven't received a single piece of information.

"Is he not coming?" the weasel asked unwillingly.

It was just a few steps away, but unfortunately, Xu Hao never came, and its talent never had a chance to be fully utilized.

If we rely solely on our previous experience and slowly explore, how long will it take?

It was afraid it wouldn't make it to that point!

"Perhaps our treasures aren't attractive enough!" The Blood Dragon's expression darkened. After a moment's thought, he said directly, "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go and meet up with the other great demons. Perhaps they have something that will appeal to the thief!"

"Okay!" The weasel agreed in an instant.

Even if it costs a lot, it's worth it now.

As long as they can attract the thief and make him break the array that seals the space, then once he gets out, the whole world will belong to them.

"Thief, I don't believe you can hold back!" The weasel growled softly, crouching quietly, waiting for Xu Hao's arrival.

In the otherworldly realm of demons, a group of powerful demons are supervising other demons as they mine ore in a mineral vein.

As the ore was produced, it was continuously sent into the spatial array, burning with enormous and boundless energy.

On the edge of the eastern district, a group of minotaurs are constantly mining ore.

One of the minotaurs, with a broken horn, is currently digging with all its might.

It was the person who exploited Xu Hao's schemes twice.

It reported it to the overseer the first two times and received some attention, but nothing more.

At the Dao Entry level, it was merely a miner. Although the ore at the Divine Transformation level was very precious, it was only barely considered high enough in the entire demon realm.

After thoroughly inspecting the mining area and even dispatching array masters to monitor the surroundings, the foreman, finding nothing, gave up the pursuit.

They simply strengthened the defenses around the area and added several layers of formations outside the entire mine.

After all, the incinerators thrown into the sky contain a considerable amount of ores at the Nascent Soul level or above.

Although the minor incident here did shake the Demon King, it ultimately did not affect the overall situation.

So, under the supervision of the overseer, the Minotaur with the broken horn returned to the eastern mining area and began its arduous and laborious digging.

"They probably won't come back now!" The minotaur with the broken horn dug quickly.

jingle.

Another crisp sound rang out.

The minotaur with the broken horn slammed its pickaxe into a hard object once more, the tremendous shock causing its calloused hands to tremble uncontrollably.

"Thank God, I've found something good again!?" The minotaur felt the power from the pickaxe and his face lit up with ecstasy.

It was filled with regret after missing out on the treasure twice before.

This time, it didn't believe it could lose it again.

They had changed positions, and the surrounding array had been strengthened considerably.

We can't just rob its mineral resources again!

The minotaur with the broken horn blinked its huge eyes, cautiously scanning its surroundings, then quickly swung its pickaxe.

This time, it unleashed its full demonic power, digging away with each pickaxe while simultaneously preventing another theft.

Hey...whoosh... After a bit of fiddling, a snow-white mineral appeared.

"Snow Crystal?" The minotaur's pupils contracted.

Even it could recognize this kind of mineral, which was at the Divine Transformation level; it was definitely a rare treasure.

Among the Avatar-level beings, it can at least rank in the top ten.

It is a rare find.

If he only needs to hoard a tiny bit, he might be able to break through to the Dao Entry level and then attempt to reach the Divine Transformation level.

This thing is priceless to those at the entry level!

The minotaur channeled his demonic power to the fullest extent, cautiously surveying his surroundings to prevent any ripples in the space.

But sometimes, the more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just like now.

Just a quarter past Shen time, at the bottom of Weiyang Lake outside, Xu Hao placed the last stroke of the Domain Breaking Seal.

The next second, the powerful force of the Broken Domain Seal surged, piercing through space and then revealing a black hole.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao covered his palm with his true energy and then reached out to grab into the black hole.

Inside the demon realm, the minotaur with the broken horn sensed the tremors in the space. Instantly, it gathered its demonic power and launched a blast at the ripples in the space.

In its understanding, any powerful fluctuations in energy will disrupt the stability of space.

At that point, the other party will be unable to pinpoint the location accurately.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was far from it.

Its demonic power spread past, as if striking the air, passing through without causing the slightest ripple.

Instead, the ripples became even more stable, and in an instant, a hand reached out and, to the disbelief of the minotaur with the broken horn, plunged directly into the snow-white ore.

"No, that's mine!" The minotaur with the broken horn surged with demonic power again, but after attacking, the spot where the snow-white ore was was empty.

"It's been stolen again?" the horned minotaur lamented.

Why is it that it's injured again?

boom.

The immense energy struck the ore vein, unleashing a powerful boom and kicking up a cloud of debris and dust.

But after the smoke and dust cleared, nothing was left; the essence of the snow-white ore had already been taken away.

The Minotaur with the broken horn couldn't understand why such a skillful thief, who could break through the barriers of space, would not steal the high-grade ore from the aerial furnace but instead keep targeting it and robbing it.

Just because it was weak and just an insignificant miner?
Unfortunately, the minotaur with the broken horn couldn't figure out what was going on.

In the real world, Xu Hao has already brought the ore back to the real world.

The ore in his hand was about the size of a human head, pure white, and gave people a sense of purity.

This was the first time Xu Hao had encountered such a situation.

"That world is clearly shrouded in yin energy, so how could such a mineral appear there? It's truly strange!" Xu Hao exclaimed, and immediately opened the Fortune Telling panel.

You can't guess it, but you can use the panel to view specific information.

Snow Crystal, a treasure born from special mineral veins in a special world, possesses the effect of nourishing the body and soul, making it an extremely precious natural treasure. It can slightly increase the success rate of advancing from the Entry-level to the Nascent Soul level. Nascent Soul level.

"Hiss." Xu Hao's expression hardened as he looked at the information that was displayed.

This was the first time he had ever seen a rare and precious material that could directly increase the success rate of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The key is that it not only increases physical strength but also enhances spiritual strength, which is a win-win situation.

"Good stuff!" Xu Hao grinned.

With this thing, he felt that reaching the full potential of the Dao Entry level was a certainty.

Xu Hao quickly put the snow crystal into his backpack, glanced around, and then walked out of the bottom of Weiyang Lake.

The lake water burst open, creating a passage for Xu Hao.

The guards around still saw Xu Hao, but none of them said anything!
It had become a habit.

Xu Hao walked briskly toward the Xu family home.

Before long, Xu Hao arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er are assigning various forces to scout the surrounding area.

As soon as Xu Hao arrived, the three women came to greet him.

"What?" Xu Hao asked.

"We have received definite intelligence that the Dark Alliance of the Eastern Region will launch a major attack on the capital soon!" Xuan Qingxiao said solemnly.

Previously, it was just rumors circulating, but now, some forces have obtained accurate information about the Dark Alliance.

In the capital city, many people and forces have gathered to see the outcome of the struggle for supremacy.

"It's alright, you all focus on your cultivation. Just let me know when they arrive!" Xu Hao waved his hand, appearing nonchalant.

What is a mere Dark Alliance?
Once they arrive, Xu Hao will completely establish his authority.

Otherwise, if some random cat or dog repeatedly attacked him, it would annoy him.

"Can we handle this?" Xuan Qingxiao asked earnestly.

That's the Dark Alliance!

With Spirit Rank experts and other evil cultivators, they are considered a first-rate force in the entire Eastern Extreme Region!

"Don't worry!" Xu Hao gave him a reassuring smile.

"I know what to do!" Xuan Qingxiao took a deep breath, a sense of shock rising in her heart.

Despite the Dark Alliance's immense power, Xu Hao maintained a nonchalant expression, indicating that he didn't take them seriously.

What level of cultivation and power would it take to be able to so blatantly disregard the Dark Alliance?
Could it be that Xu Hao's cultivation level is already invincible at the Spirit Realm?

Even if one is invincible at the Spirit Rank, it doesn't necessarily mean they can fight against the entire Dark Alliance!

So, Xu Hao might have already surpassed the Spirit Rank and reached the Dao Entry Level?!?

However, the information we have so far indicates that the level of heaven and earth is not high enough to allow the existence of experts above the Spirit Rank!

Xuan Qingxiao couldn't quite figure it out, but she knew that Xu Hao must be confident to say that.

Because Xu Hao has never lied.

“Then we will gather as much information as possible!” Qin Feixue was the first to speak.

"Hmm!" Xu Hao waved his hand, chatted with the three women for a while, and then went directly into his room.

The three women watched Xu Hao's retreating figure. Tang Wan'er was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, Sister Xue, what do you think Young Master's cultivation level is now? Has he reached the Dao Entry Realm?!"

"I don't know, but Young Master has never let us down along the way, and I believe he won't let us down this time either!" Qin Feixue said earnestly.

“That’s right, we should trust Xu Hao!” Xuan Qingxiao nodded in agreement.

Xu Hao was able to give them Daoist cultivation techniques at the entry-level, so he must also have Daoist cultivation techniques of his own.

Therefore, surpassing the Spirit Rank is not impossible!
That's why he could speak so confidently and calmly without any hindrance.

"All we need to do is provide good logistical support for the young master!" Xuan Qingxiao finally concluded, and did not say anything more, for fear of arousing speculation from the outside world.

Meanwhile, the outside world was already buzzing with excitement.
