Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 177 Seeking, Nascent Soul Level Cultivation Technique
Xu Hao slept soundly.

But while Xu Hao was sleeping, the entire capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty was in complete turmoil.

Those Heavenly Realm experts who originally wanted to watch the Spirit Realm battle, although they didn't see the actual fight, were still shocked for a long time by witnessing the fall of the Dark Alliance.

"The Dark Alliance actually lost, and lost so thoroughly?"

"The Dark Alliance is a major force in the Eastern Region, yet it couldn't even withstand Xu Hao!"

"The main reason is that Xu Hao is too strong. He was able to withstand the Bloodthirsty Array. He is probably one of the strongest among the Spirit Rank!" someone said confidently.

He didn't think about anything beyond the Spirit Rank, because in their understanding, the Spirit Rank was extremely powerful, and very few people could advance to it.

Not to mention those above the Spirit Rank.

"What was that streak of light earlier? I think it must have been at the half-step Dao level!"

"Perhaps so, after all, it is capable of breaking through the Bloodthirsty Array."

Countless people talked about it and then spread the news.

The news shocked countless people wherever it went.

The name Xu Hao has become a topic of conversation among various factions.

Moreover, everyone is speculating about what exactly is inside the Shushan Ruins that could enable a young man from a remote place to achieve such success.

The closer the news got to the easternmost region, the greater the shock it caused.

Because that's the Dark Alliance, a top-tier power in the Eastern Extreme Region.

Now, the entire army has been wiped out!

The capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Xu family.

Xu Hao slept until the next day.

I slept until I naturally woke up.

Xu Hao stretched and got out of bed. After washing up, he didn't leave the room immediately but began to think about his future plans.

Now, the Dao Realm is overflowing.

Logically, Xu Hao should have gathered another thirty opportunity refresh points and then sought out a Nascent Soul level cultivation technique.

However, the limit of the world today is the Dao Realm, and he has already reached that limit.

To achieve another breakthrough, we must wait for the revival of the cosmic level.

After all, even the great powers of ancient times could not defy the rules of heaven and earth, so he certainly could not break through the shackles of heaven and earth on his own.

This cannot be compensated for by qualifications or other resources.

After pondering for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, Xu Hao decided to first gather thirty opportunity refresh points to search for a Nascent Soul level cultivation technique.

Even if you can't break through to the Nascent Soul level, you can still prepare in advance by learning about the cultivation techniques for that level.

When the world recovers, Xu Hao will be able to break through his own limitations immediately and advance to the strongest level, thus maintaining an invincible state at all times.

"Yes, that's settled. We still need to search for more opportunities, especially magical artifacts and other things, to improve our foundation!"

Xu Hao already had a rough idea in his mind.

He checked everything again to make sure nothing was missed, then twisted his neck and pushed open the door.

"Young Master!" Upon hearing the door open, Xuan Qingxiao immediately stood up from her seat and ran over to greet him.

"Where are Feixue and Wan'er?" Xu Hao looked around and asked.

"They've gone to gather all the materials and resources, and to collect other intelligence!" Xuan Qingxiao quickly replied.

The destruction of the Dark Alliance will definitely cause a major upheaval in the Eastern Extreme Region.

In order to avoid being as lost and confused as last time, they decided to send some people to the Eastern Arctic region to gather intelligence.

We should at least gain a basic understanding of the situation in the Eastern Arctic region.

The Holy Fire Cult can serve as spies for this search, and the Zhenfu Division will also send people there.

"That's excellent!" Xu Hao nodded in approval after hearing Xuan Qingxiao's explanation and introduction.

He is precisely lacking in this aspect.

Although divination can sometimes reveal information, most of it concerns oneself.

Rumors and gossip will not be displayed.

He had long wanted to cultivate his own power, but due to a lack of energy, Xu Hao had not yet achieved any results.

With Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and others around, he was spared a lot of trouble.

"Alright, what's your current cultivation level? If there's anything you don't understand, you can tell me, and I'll help you analyze it!" Xu Hao sat down and began his leisure time of collecting divination points to refresh his luck.

"Yes, I do have some questions about cultivation!" Xuan Qingxiao didn't mind at all and went straight up to ask for advice.

In the days that followed, Xu Hao helped Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, Tang Wan'er, and others with their cultivation problems while enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives.

Moreover, the destruction of the Dark Alliance provided Xu Hao with a great deal of cultivation resources.

These resources, when gathered together, are all used to enhance the cultivation and strength of Xuan Qingxiao and the others.

With Xu Hao's explanations and the blessing of the Enlightenment Bone, Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er's cultivation levels improved every day.

Moreover, it was a leap forward.

It changes every day.

While Xu Hao was training Xuan Qingxiao and others every day, news of the Dark Alliance's destruction finally reached the Eastern Extreme Region.

All the factions that received the news were in an uproar.

"What? The Dark Alliance suffered a defeat in a remote place?"

"The entire Dark Alliance has been wiped out?"

When the intelligence was first received, many people did not believe it.

Who is Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance?

Even if a veteran powerhouse among the Spirit Rank experts led the entire Dark Alliance, it would be impossible for him to kill Huang Tianji, even if he were to be defeated!
After all, killing a Spirit Rank expert is extremely difficult.

No one in the Eastern Arctic region can reliably claim that they can do it.

This is one of the reasons why the Dark Alliance, despite being an evil force, can still exist today.

But now, the Dark Alliance has been destroyed.

He was still wiped out by one person all by himself.

The impact was comparable to a magnitude 10 earthquake.

But as more and more details came in, those who had voiced their doubts were completely silenced.

"Xu Hao is too strong! He actually withstood the Bloodthirsty Array head-on?"

"He even managed to make Huang Tianji flee without a fight, but in the end, he still couldn't escape his fate of death. This Xu Hao is probably about to surpass the Spirit Rank!"

"Wow, that's amazing! This country bumpkin named Xu Hao has actually grown to this level. That means the treasures of Mount Shu are priceless!"

Countless people talked about it, their faces filled with greed.

In their view, even a nobody from a remote place could grow to this level by relying on the treasures of the Shu Mountain ruins.

So, if they were to obtain the treasures from the Shu Mountain ruins, wouldn't they become even more powerful?
Unfortunately, although greed was rising, no one dared to go to the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty to plunder.

After all, the Dark Alliance was completely wiped out, so how could any other people or forces dare to go there!
"My lord, you must avenge my brother!" Inside a cave in a mountain range in the Eastern Extremity Region, a middle-aged man knelt before a powerful-looking old man. The young man was named Huang Tianzhao, the younger brother of Huang Tianji.

The only difference is that the two chose different paths.

Huang Tianji chose to cultivate the unorthodox system that allowed for rapid progress, while Huang Tianzhao relied on his own talent to steadily advance, following the orthodox path of the Taoist system.

In front of Huang Tianzhao, kneeling, was an elder of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

"Revenge? How can we possibly achieve it?" The elder of the Heavenly Dao Alliance sighed. "You know your brother Huang Tianji's cultivation level, and he even borrowed several peak-level spirit-grade magic artifacts from us, but what was the result?"

Huang Tianzhao remained silent.

"The opponent is too strong, and they have obtained the treasures of Mount Shu. That so-called 'flowing light' is probably one of the magical artifacts of Mount Shu."

The old man continued, "It is said that Mount Shu is the most powerful in terms of attack. Without corresponding defensive magic weapons, it is impossible to stop it. If you really want to avenge your brother, then go and conquer more ancient ruins!"

Alternatively, you could try to find out what the Cui family is thinking. They're in a very anxious situation right now, and you could use their resources to travel to various ancient ruins. Perhaps one day you'll even discover one of the Shu Mountain ruins yourself!

"Yes!" Huang Tianzhao could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Although he knew this would be the outcome, he didn't expect even the elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to feel fear.

Are the treasures of Mount Shu really so terrifying?
"Your son takes his leave!" Huang Tianzhao sighed and got up from the ground.

"Go! The world is reviving. We must obtain more ancient relics, otherwise, not only will you fail to avenge yourself, but our Heavenly Dao Alliance will also perish completely. So, strive on!"

"Yes!"

Huang Tianzhao clenched his fist tightly, then got up and left the area of ​​the Heavenly Dao Alliance, heading towards the Cui family.

Just as the elders said, the Cui family is what we fear most now.

The two sides are locked in a life-or-death struggle, and a series of blows will only make the Cui family more fearful.

But Huang Tianzhao believed in the Cui family's background.

Without the profound knowledge and experience to influence the course of battles, the Cui family would not have survived to this day, having been able to endure since ancient times.

Xu Hao appears very powerful now, inspiring fear in countless people and forces, but he believes that the Cui family definitely has the opportunity and resources to turn the tables.

Just as Huang Tianzhao had expected, the Cui family, having received intelligence from the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, convened another meeting of high-ranking officials from various factions.

A group of powerful members of the Cui family gathered together, but remained silent.

"Everyone, please share your thoughts!" Choi San-ha spoke first, breaking the silence in the council chamber.

"Xu Hao has grown up, and for now, we can no longer stop him!" A senior member of the Cui family sighed, stating a harsh reality.

If it hasn't grown up yet, the Cui family must nip it in the bud.

But now, Xu Hao is almost invincible.

Who could have imagined that Xu Hao alone could wipe out an entire Dark Alliance?

That's a powerful force with two Spirit Rank experts and many Heaven Rank experts!

"Based on the current intelligence, Xu Hao himself has extremely strong cultivation and can withstand the Bloodthirsty Array at the half-step Dao level. Moreover, the magic weapon in his hand is extremely powerful. Huang Tianji had many top-level spirit-grade magic weapons, but he was killed before he could even use them. This shows that Xu Hao has at least a half-step Dao level magic weapon in his hand."

Furthermore, considering the circumstances surrounding the Shushan ruins, it's possible that there are even Daoist-level magical artifacts among them.

With that kind of strength, I don't recommend going on another hunt!

A high-ranking member of the Cui family spoke up.

“If he doesn’t hunt us, what if he hunts us instead? He came to the Eastern Region alone, and apart from our ancestor, we have no way to deal with him!” a high-ranking member of the Cui family retorted.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

In an instant, the entire council chamber erupted in noise.

Cui Shanhe was also troubled.

He originally thought that even if the Dark Alliance couldn't kill Xu Hao, they could at least severely injure him or force him to reveal his trump cards, so that the Cui family could reap the benefits.

As a result, the Dark Alliance was completely wiped out.

Most importantly, the Dark Alliance has not yet forced Xu Hao to his bottom line.

At this point, who would dare to go to the Great Xuan Dynasty to cause trouble for Xu Hao?
Do you think you have a long life?

But if he didn't do anything, he was afraid that Xu Hao would come and kill him.

Even though the Cui family has an ancestor in charge, they cannot be easily mobilized.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Cui Shanhe shouted, silencing the entire council hall.

"I'll go consult the ancestor right away. You all better behave yourselves for the time being!"

Cui Shanhe waved his hand and headed straight for the Cui family's ancestral home.

Soon, Cui Shanhe met an elder who had slightly regained consciousness and reported Xu Hao's condition to him.

"The world has not yet fully recovered, so it is inconvenient for us to take action." After pondering for a moment, the Cui family patriarch instructed, "For the time being, let the Cui family remain out of the public eye. With the Cui family's great formation, I think he would not dare to break in on his own."

Furthermore, dispatch powerful experts from all sides to quickly search for ancient ruins. As long as the magical artifacts are powerful enough, Xu Hao is no match for them!

"Yes!" Cui Shanhe could only agree.

After all, this is the best solution.

Fortunately, the Cui family has a lineage dating back to ancient times and knows the approximate locations of many ancient ruins.

With a bit of luck, one might be able to reap huge benefits.

If Xu Hao can rise to power by obtaining a Shu Mountain relic, why can't the Cui family do the same?
Cui Shanhe quickly returned to the council chamber and announced the ancestor's order.

"Sigh, this is the only way!" The Cui family's higher-ups chose to acquiesce.

After all, they were also afraid of being attacked by Xu Hao while they were outside.

Some of them didn't even have the cultivation and strength of Huang Tianji, the leader of the Dark Alliance, so once they encountered Xu Hao, they didn't even have a chance to resist.

Before long, the Cui family meeting was over.

"Report! Huang Tianzhao is outside requesting an audience!" A report broke the silence and reached Cui Shanhe's ears.

"Huang Tianji is dead, so why is Huang Tianzhao here so quickly?" Cui Shanhe pondered for a moment and then hurriedly said, "Lead him into the reception room!"

The actions in the Eastern Polar Region have not yet affected Xu Hao.

At this moment, Xu Hao is still living a joyful life.

During this period, Xu Hao indulged in a life of pleasure and enjoyed the blessings of having multiple wives.

He would often play happily with Chen Changhe and his cronies.

Finally, after waiting for twenty-one days, Xu Hao collected thirty opportunity refresh points.

"Finally, I've gathered them all. I wonder what kind of miraculous effects a Nascent Soul level cultivation technique will have!" Xu Hao said with curiosity.

The Nascent Soul Realm allows one's spirit to roam freely throughout the world and travel to various mysterious regions.

This description alone made Xu Hao yearn for it.

Although limited by the laws of nature, Xu Hao cannot advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but with the help of the Enlightenment Bone, he will definitely be able to comprehend the cultivation methods of the Nascent Soul stage.

Once he gathers all the necessary resources and conditions, and the world is at his disposal, he can forge ahead and be the first to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

As long as he stays ahead of everyone else, he will be invincible and completely control his own destiny.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and opened the Fortune Telling panel...
