Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 458 The Talent and Strength of the Hidden Dragon Guards

The Xu family holds a grand competition every three years. The top fifteen in the competition can enter the Hidden Dragon Guard. The family will provide the Hidden Dragon Guard with sufficient cultivation resources, and they can choose any cultivation techniques and weapons they want.

However, those who have just joined the Hidden Dragon Guard are usually sent to the Divine Palace for cultivation. Once they break through to the Heavenly Palace Realm, they can return and choose to go out for training or work for the family.

The most advanced or most contributing member of the Hidden Dragon Guard will be eligible for a spot with the Five Elements Body.

Over the years, the Xu family's Wanbao Pavilion has spread to more than thirty continents, secretly acquiring many spiritual items of the five elements and cultivating many bodies of the five elements for the Xu family.

Currently, the Xu family's Hidden Dragon Guard has a total of 730 people, of whom 490 possess the Five Elements Body.

Of course, as the Xu family grew and their talents increased, other special physical constitutions naturally emerged.

However, the speed at which special physical constitutions naturally appear is nowhere near that of artificial ones.

The Five Elements Body can be upgraded to the Five Elements Divine Body. In addition to Xu Luo, Xu Chu, Xu Qiufeng, and Xu Yan, the Xu family now has ten more Five Elements Divine Bodies.

In terms of cultivation, the earliest batch of Hidden Dragon Guards all followed Xu Luo to cultivate and suppress bandits. Although their cultivation speed was far slower than that of the chosen ones, they had already caught up with the figures on the Prodigy Ranking.

If they were placed among those hegemonic forces, they would definitely be considered holy sons or divine sons.

The only pity is that the number of dominant forces in Cangzhou has greatly decreased, and there are very few geniuses like the Holy Sons and Divine Sons. There are very few who can compare with them.

Currently, the highest cultivation level among the Hidden Dragon Guards is that of the team leader, Xu Yan, who is at the seventh level of True Saint.

Besides him, there are twenty-three True Saints, most of the others are in the Dharma Aspect Integration Realm, and those below the Heavenly Palace Realm are still cultivating in the Divine Palace, accounting for about 30% of the total number.

Among the twenty-four True Saints of the Hidden Dragon Guard, ten possess the Five Elements Divine Body, ten possess the Five Elements Body, and four possess other special physiques.

Each of them possesses two sacred weapons, cultivates the sacred techniques most suitable for them, and has even come into contact with some Emperor-level inheritances, attempting to comprehend some of them.

Moreover, each of them was brave and skilled in battle, having participated in three pirate raids in the Starry Sea, two demon-slaying campaigns in the Southern Region, and the destruction of the assassin organization Hidden Assassins and the Primordial Holy Land.

Therefore, they have extremely rich practical experience and can easily become invincible among their peers, and can also easily challenge those of higher levels.

Such a powerful force is unknown to the world; people think the Xu family only has the patriarch and a few prodigies.

Now that the Jiaolong Ranking and the True Dragon Ranking have been established, Xu Qingzhou has also allowed them to participate in the competition.

It is conceivable that their appearance will once again astound the world and make them realize the power of the Xu family.

.....

After learning that the Great Qian Dynasty had established the Flood Dragon Ranking and the True Dragon Ranking to recruit young powerhouses from Cangzhou.

Bai Qingxue, who was serving as Xiao Hui's strategist in the Northern Region, had her mind racing and sought out Xiao Hui, now the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, to discuss this matter.

“Your Majesty, normally we don’t need to get involved in matters like those concerning the human race, but since this involves the Xu family, I feel we should also do something.”

Little Grey, who had already transformed into a handsome young man, sat upright on the throne. Upon hearing the name of the Xu family, a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"Tell me."

Bai Qingxue lowered her eyes slightly and said slowly, "I think our demon race should also send some young experts to be listed on the list, to show our support for the Xu family."

It would be awkward if the Xu family set up a list of the strongest people and no one went on it.

It was precisely because of this thought that Bai Qingxue felt the demon race should offer their support.

Of course, the Xu family had taken this into consideration, otherwise they wouldn't have given such generous rewards to the top ten on the list.

Little Grey nodded.

"That makes sense, approved."

Bai Qingxue's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and she immediately volunteered to lead the team to the Great Qian Ascension City.

After obtaining Xiao Hui's permission, Bai Qingxue selected suitable young powerhouses from among the nine major demon clans and together they left the Northern Region, flew across the Starry Sea, and arrived in the Eastern Region.

When Xu Qingzhou killed the Dragon King and wiped out the Dragon Clan, he completely terrified the demon races of the Northern Region. They had no choice but to submit to Xu Qingzhou, obediently follow his arrangements, and support Xiao Hui as the Demon Emperor.

Thanks to Bai Qingxue's advice and Xiao Hui's efforts, the situation of the Northern Region Demon Clan is now barely under control. However, to truly control the Northern Region Demon Clan, Xiao Hui needs to possess absolute strength.

Of the nine demon clans, only the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Heavenly Fire Burning Beast clan truly submitted to Xiao Hui and the Xu family.

However, due to the power of Xu Qingzhou and the Xu family, the other seven clans outwardly obeyed Xiao Hui, the demon emperor.

Now, following the Demon Emperor's orders, they dispatched two young powerhouses, one below the Saint Realm and the other above the Saint Realm, corresponding precisely to the Flood Dragon Ranking and the True Dragon Ranking.

Eighteen great demons from nine clans followed Bai Qingxue from the Northern Region to the Immortal Ascension City to support the two lists established by the Great Qian Dynasty.

On the way, they communicated telepathically to avoid Bai Qingxue.

"What Flood Dragon Ranking or True Dragon Ranking? I want to see how many strong people there are left in the human race."

"It would be interesting if no one from the Xu family appeared on the list."

"No, the Xu family does have some very strong prodigies."

“I know, but the two immortal bodies haven’t appeared for decades. Xu Luo and the other two have also gone to travel to other continents. Now the Xu family no longer has any geniuses who can hold their own.”

"That's true."

Of the remaining seven members of the royal family, some were subservient to whoever was in charge, and they did not participate in the exchange just now.

Some are still somewhat resentful of the Demon Emperor and the Xu family, such as the Mighty Bull Demon Clan and the Golden Winged Tiger Clan. They still dream of one day becoming powerful again and making a comeback.

The group of powerful demons moved very quickly, and after crossing the Starry Sea, they arrived at the Great Qian territory in no time.

Even when they were still some distance from Ascension City, their exceptional eyesight allowed them to see the majestic and magnificent city.

"Hiss! This Ascension City is indeed extraordinary."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a magnificent city in Cangzhou!!"

"No wonder the rumors say that Ascension City is the number one city in Cangzhou. Now that I see it, it is indeed true."

"Tch, if our race becomes powerful, we can definitely build an even more magnificent city, the greatest city of all time!!"

Beware of those powerful demons who are higher than the heavens; even standing beneath the City of Ascension, one feels like a mayfly adrift in the vastness of the universe.

The moment they stepped into Ascension City, they were also amazed by its bustling prosperity.

With their strength, they had naturally visited many human cities before, but they had never seen one so prosperous.

They, who were initially dismissive and full of confidence, suddenly became much quieter for some reason.

Silently following behind Bai Qingxue, his eyes couldn't help but look around, his preconceived notions constantly being challenged.
