Chapter 163

This can be seen from the fact that the Eastern Pole Sacred Academy restricts admissions to those under fifty years old.

Moreover, it's not just about recovering to peak physical condition.

He was once possessed by evil spirits, which damaged his vital energy and spirit, preventing him from making any progress in his life.

But after taking the Longevity Flower, all these hidden injuries disappeared!

"I still have opportunities to strive for progress in my life!"

"Throughout my life, Xiao Hanbing has never been inferior to anyone!"

Seeing that his Old Ancestor's spirits had been restored, Xiao Minghuang immediately took out a Mysterious Tier Top-grade Pill.

"I possess this elixir, and wish to assist our Old Ancestor in breaking through to the Primal Embryo Realm!"

This pill is specifically designed to help cultivators in the Spirit Seed Realm break through to the next level.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Old Ancestor swallowed the pill in one gulp.

In the blink of an eye.

It was as if an invisible shackle had been torn off, and the long-standing gloom had been dispelled in an instant. The decaying aura that had permeated the Old Ancestor's body was swept away, and his figure seemed to grow countless times taller at this moment.

His energy and spirit are also improving at a visible pace, step by step!

A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body.

This was an oppressive force that made people suffocate, an aura that sent chills down their spines.

In an instant.

The entire Imperial Palace...

It's the entire imperial city!

The entire Great Xia Dynasty felt this powerful aura surging into the heavens!

Everyone raised their heads, their eyes filled with horror as they looked in the direction of the imperial city.

They felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them.

They seemed to see a towering figure, standing tall and fearless, carrying on the legacy of their predecessors and paving the way for future generations.

This figure was none other than Xiao Hanbing, the Old Ancestor who had protected the Great Xia Dynasty for eight hundred years!

"This is... our Old Ancestor has broken through!"

Inside the Imperial Palace, Emperor Xia gazed at the horizon and wept with joy.

"So powerful! This aura seems to be even stronger than mine!"

Sheng Bailan took a light breath. She didn't know when such a person had appeared in the Great Xia.

"Great Xia... is that old bastard Xiao Hanbing?! How is that possible?!"

Dragon Tiger True Person struggled to his feet, gazing in the direction of Great Xia with a face full of surprise and uncertainty.

Since being severely injured by Sheng Bailan, he had remained silent, intending to wait for the adults in the Southern Wilderness to make their move. However, the emergence of a new Primal Embryo Realm expert in the Southern Border forced him to change his plans and act ahead of schedule.

"It seems the plan can't be delayed any longer!"

A ruthless look appeared on his face; his mind was made up!

181. Only a teenager, and already so fickle! [Please subscribe!]

The birth of a Primal Embryo Realm expert is a major event that cannot be ignored by the entire Eastern Pole.

This is especially true for the Three Great Sects.

Beast Taming Sect.

The Beast Taming Sect was suddenly startled. He flew into the sky, gazing in the direction of Great Xia.

Although we were separated by an unknown distance, I could still feel that astonishing aura of withered trees coming back to life and being reborn from the ashes.

"He's the guardian of Great Xia! He's really broken through!"

The Beast Taming Sect stared blankly, then immediately flew towards the Great Xia Dynasty.

He wanted to create a positive connection for the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect before his lifespan ended.

However.

Just then...

In the northwestern part of the Southern Border, amidst a continuous range of mountains.

A beam of brilliant Rosy Clouds light shot into the sky, and a scorching wave of air swept out, like a giant wave rising from a boundless ocean, roaring and spreading for thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

This scene.

Everyone was stunned.

"This is..."

"This aura... another Primal Embryo Realm is breaking through?!"

"What's going on?!"

At this moment, countless people looked up at the sky, where the crimson Rosy Clouds, seemingly reaching the heavens and the earth, appeared to connect heaven and earth, immortals and mortals, erasing all barriers and reaching straight to the sky, inspiring awe.

"Two embryos formed in one day, could it be that a golden age is about to begin?"

"One is a guardian of the Great Xia, and the other is in the northwest. Could it be that the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect has broken through?"

"The cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect are all sword cultivators. This aura is as hot as fire and as fierce as the sun, like a fire-path cultivator."

"Could it be some Rogue Cultivator? Or perhaps a passing cultivator from another region?"

For a time, countless cultivators began to speculate.

Now.

The Great Xia, Imperial Palace.

Xiao Hanbing slowly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and smiled.

He also felt that intense, scorching heat.

He had seen that person before, at the Great Emperor Xia.

"Little Nine, the one who broke through at the same time as me, is that the 'Medicine King' you mentioned before?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded gently and smiled:

"I had a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm, but I couldn't use it, so I gave it to Senior Medicine King. He was able to recover some of his strength, which would also benefit Great Xia."

Xiao Hanbing noticed that Xiao Minghuang used the word "recover" instead of "enhance," which showed that this Medicine King was indeed extraordinary.

However, he completely trusted any decision Xiao Minghuang made.

He didn't dwell on the matter, but instead stood up and bowed deeply.

"If it weren't for Little Nine's gift of medicine, my old bones would probably be decaying by now. I can never repay this life-saving grace..."

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang quickly helped him up.

"Old Ancestor, have you forgotten what I said before? You are the guardian of Great Xia, and you are worthy of any treasure!"

"Haha, you sure know how to talk!"

Xiao Hanbing stroked his beard, his face full of satisfaction.

He looked at the girl in front of him, and the more he looked, the more proud he became.

In just one year, the once skinny little thing has grown into a graceful and stunning young woman.

This girl is the future of Great Xia.

She is destined to lead this dying lion back to its former paradise.

This breakthrough attracted the attention of the entire Great Xia, and even most of the forces in the Southern Border.

I believe it won't be long before all parties respond.

Some people will come to offer their congratulations, while others will stand by and watch coldly, and some may even act secretly with ill intentions.

However, Xiao Minghuang is no longer concerned with any of the conspiracies.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, she went straight to the Princess Mansion.

As she stepped into the Princess Mansion, she sensed Lin Wanqiu's presence and quickly walked into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

This is where they used to meet every day.

Lin Wanqiu, dressed in a light green gauze dress, sat in the center of the pavilion, one hand supporting her chin and the other propping up her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Wanqiu slightly raised her eyes. When she saw who it was, her eyes lit up immediately. She then stood up and walked to Xiao Minghuang.

"Your Highness..."

"Wanqiu..." Xiao Minghuang held Lin Wanqiu's hand and gently pulled her into his arms.

Lin Wanqiu hugged Xiao Minghuang tightly.

"Yes, you're back, Wanqiu. You've had a hard time these past few days!"

Xiao Minghuang gently stroked Lin Wanqiu's black hair, his eyes filled with deep remorse.

Not only because of the longing after being apart for many days, but also because of the sudden appearance of Sheng Bailan.

Although she was forced into this situation and had no other choice, she had already made a promise to Sheng Bailan and could not break it.

As she said.

Those who break their promises shall Punishment of Eating Rocks.

Lin Wanqiu was unaware of this. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's not tiring at all. How have you been doing at the Spirit Sword Sect these past few days?"

"And Ruoshui, why didn't she come back with you?"

Lin Wanqiu asked, puzzled.

Xiao Minghuang shook her head. "She's refining pills at the Spirit Sword Sect and can't leave, but she'll come back when she's finished."

"As for my time at the Spirit Sword Sect... I mostly just exchanged sword techniques with Sect Master Sheng."

At this point, she seemed genuinely guilty and dared not look Lin Wanqiu in the eye.

When it comes to reading between the lines and understanding people's intentions, even ten thousand Ye Ruoshui cannot compare to one Lin Wanqiu.

It was just a casual smile that made her realize something was wrong.

Adding to the information she had received from the Fifth Prince, Lin Wanqiu was able to guess that something had indeed happened between her Highness and the Sect Master at the Spirit Sword Sect.

However, she didn't want to expose it.

She didn't want to see Xiao Minghuang embarrassed.

At this time.

A sharp aura swept over them, interrupting their tender moment.

Lin Wanqiu looked up and saw a woman dressed in white standing outside the pavilion. She was tall, with delicate features and an elegant demeanor, and was looking at them calmly.

Lin Wanqiu instinctively hugged Xiao Minghuang tighter, as if afraid of being taken away.

She asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness, is this young lady Sect Master Sheng?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded and smiled, "Yes, she is Sect Master."

She took Lin Wanqiu's hand and walked up to Sheng Bailan.

"Bai Lan, let me introduce you. This is my Dao Companion, Lin Wanqiu."

Upon hearing these words, for some reason, Lin Wanqiu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
