Chapter 304 - 266: The Ancestral Dragon of the Great Zhou Martial Country, a Forbidden Existence
After learning about the Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman from Cangba Dao, Xu Qing’s heart grew heavy.
It could be said that Xu Qing had never felt such an urgent desire to break through into the Fourth Realm and grasp the Power of Law. It was as if some terrifying danger was slowly closing in from the shadows.
After all, if the Four Realms Anomaly: Fisherman could appear this time, it was highly likely another Four Realms Demon Fiend would emerge next.
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing let out a long breath.
「That afternoon.」
Cangba Dao left.
HUM! HUM! HUM!!!
Xu Qing sat cross-legged, a Top-grade Law Stone in his hand. He circulated his Pattern Technique at an incredible speed, reaching a rate of one million cycles every six seconds.
...
[Experience +1]
...
[Experience +1]
...
His Experience Points also rose rapidly.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, the seasons turned, and another year had passed.
HUM! HUM!!
With a thought, Xu Qing sensed the changes within him. Over the course of the year, he had refined another twelve Pattern Techniques and mastered eighty-four Patterns, though many of them were duplicates.
And so...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Xu Qing circulated the Power of Law. One after another, Patterns materialized around him, weaving together like an invisible net that enveloped his entire body.
"One hundred!"
Xu Qing opened his eyes and murmured calmly, "I’ve now mastered one hundred Patterns. I only need eight more to reach the total of one hundred and eight and step into the Realm of the Venerable Ultimate."
Additionally, Xu Qing had refined thirty-six True Ten Thousand Spirits Needles, all of which he gave to Cangba Dao. He wasn’t far from his goal of one hundred and eight.
’Time to continue.’
HUM!
With a thought, Xu Qing resumed circulating and meditating on another Pattern Technique. Of the twenty-eight Pattern Techniques he possessed, only a few remained. If he could master them all, he would definitely reach the one hundred and eight Patterns required to step into the Realm of the Venerable Ultimate.
「Seven days later.」
「In the morning.」
On this day...
HUM!
Suddenly, Xu Qing sensed a message from Wang Miao. An intangible stream of light seemed to cross space and time, stopping before Xu Qing to form a luminous screen.
It was a messaging-type Divine Technique.
It was similar to the Divine Power: Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Skill mastered by Ye Langtian, but Wang Miao’s technique was even stronger—it was a Minor Divine Technique.
"Master!"
On the luminous screen, Wang Miao bowed to Xu Qing. His Essence, Qi, and Spirit had reached an entirely new Realm. A dark, vertical mark had appeared between his eyebrows, emanating a profound and peerless aura.
"Mm."
Xu Qing sized up Wang Miao and asked, "Have you broken through?"
"Yes."
Wang Miao nodded. "Master, over the past two years, I have not only refined the Mother-Child Nine Spirit Box and entered the Realm of the Venerable Ultimate."
"Furthermore,"
"I found my master, the Dark Demon King’s, treasure. Using his legacy, I went into seclusion for a year and, one month ago, broke through to the Fourth Realm: Law Realm."
"Of course,"
"I have only just broken through. I have only a preliminary grasp of the Dark Law and am just at the Initial Entry stage of the Law Realm. But regardless, I have entered the Fourth Realm."
"Excellent."
A joyful smile spread across Xu Qing’s face. "What are your plans now?"
"Master,"
Wang Miao considered this for a moment before replying, "The Emperor Dragon Qi of the Great Zhou Martial Country has vanished. The country is now held together solely by the National Protection Array. Furthermore, Qing Province suffered a massive war several years ago, leaving it in a state of chaos."
"I intend to restore order to Qing Province and establish my own power base. If possible, I want to unify the province, declare myself king, and rule this territory."
"What? You want to be the Emperor?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Of course."
Wang Miao nodded solemnly. "Master, my own master told me something. The founding of a Human Race Dynasty nurtures Emperor Dragon Qi. Every member of the Royal Family contains a wisp of this Emperor Dragon Qi, which makes their bloodline noble and allows it to suppress all worldly techniques. However, it also prevents them from practicing any Magic Gate."
"Furthermore,"
"any Emperor who abdicates will retain a lingering trace of the Emperor Dragon Qi’s power, making it nearly impossible to advance their Cultivation. That is the price for sitting on the throne of the Venerable Emperor."
"However,"
"there is one exception."
"What exception?"
Xu Qing asked.
"The Ancestral Dragon, the First Emperor, or the Founding Emperor."
Wang Miao continued, "For example, the Founding Emperor of the Great Zhou Martial Country, the First Emperor who established Great Zhou, can also be called the Ancestral Dragon."
"Any Founding Emperor who establishes a Dynasty is an exception. As long as a Founding Emperor establishes a dynasty and passes the throne to someone of their direct lineage, they will not be affected by the Emperor Dragon Qi. Instead, they can enjoy all the benefits the throne provides."
"Because,"
"the entire Dynasty was founded by him."
"Only such a figure is worthy of the title: Ancestral Dragon."
’So that’s how it works.’
Xu Qing’s expression grew pensive.
"If that’s the case,"
Xu Qing asked, "with such a major event occurring in the Great Zhou Martial Country, where is its Ancestral Dragon? Why hasn’t he shown himself?"
"Master,"
Wang Miao replied, "my master, the Dark Demon King, told me that Great Zhou’s Ancestral Dragon is dead. Shortly after the Great Zhou Martial Country was established, the Ancestral Dragon abdicated and passed the throne to his eldest son, Zhou Changsheng."
