Invincible Over the World
Chapter 101 - 101 101 Breaking Through to the Ninth Tier

101: Chapter 101: Breaking Through to the Ninth Tier 101: Chapter 101: Breaking Through to the Ninth Tier “Replying to the Sect Leader, there is still no news of the master,” Marshal Haotian reported, and with a look of shame, added, “Please penalize me, Sect Leader!” For two years, he had failed to contact or locate any information about the master, making him feel that he had let down Huang Xiaolong, the Sect Leader.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “You can’t blame yourself for this; stand up.”

“Yes, thank you, Sect Leader!” Marshal Haotian said.

Huang Xiaolong fell into deep thought.

If there were no unexpected issues, Yu Ming, who had gone to the Asura Gate Headquarters on Star Cloud Continent, should have returned over two years ago.

The fact that he still had not returned indicated only one possibility: something had happened to Yu Ming.

Although he was unsure whether Yu Ming’s disappearance was related to his fellow disciple, Sect Leader of the Asura Gate, Chen Tianqi, he was certain that Chen Tianqi was not yet aware of Huang Xiaolong’s existence.

Otherwise, Chen would have definitely sent someone to assassinate Huang Xiaolong and seize the Asura Ring.

However, Chen Tianqi would eventually find out about his existence, so it was imperative for Huang Xiaolong to prepare himself in advance.

Strength was the key.

Despite possessing the Dual Birth Super Martial Soul and the Exotic Treasure, the Ninth Exquisite Treasure Tower, which allowed him to cultivate ten to twenty times faster than others, Huang Xiaolong felt it was still too slow.

To face Chen Tianqi, Huang Xiaolong needed to break through to the Holy Domain to have a chance of protecting himself.

The Holy Domain!

Not to mention the Luotong Kingdom, even the surrounding kingdoms lacked a Holy Domain expert.

Breaking through to the Holy Domain was easier said than done.

Even the strongest warrior of the Broken Blade Empire, Emperor Duanren, with a Thirteen-level Top-level Martial Soul, had only broken through to the Holy Domain at the age of one hundred and twenty-two.

Huang Xiaolong frowned.

The only way he could increase his strength more quickly now was by obtaining more Exotic Treasures.

Currently, he knew that the Fourth Exotic Treasure, the Soul-breaking Pearl, was at the Broken Blade Academy.

Therefore, he must break through to the Tenth Rank as soon as possible.

Once he achieved that rank, he was confident he could claim the top position at the academy and then proceed to the Imperial City battle in the Broken Blade Empire.

Once there, becoming a student of the Broken Blade Academy would allow him to seek out and obtain the Soul-breaking Pearl.

Additionally, becoming a student would provide him with the privilege of purchasing a residence in the Broken Blade Imperial City, making it safer to then bring his parents, sister, and brother there.

Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou, seeing Huang Xiaolong deep in thought, did not dare to interrupt.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong came out of his thoughts and then asked the two about some recent affairs concerning the Great Sword Sect of the Violent Dragon Kingdom and the Ningwu Family.

The two reported back one by one.

In recent years, the Great Sword Sect had indeed sent assassins several times to kill Huang Xiaolong’s parents, but they were always protected by the experts from Marshal Mansion, so nothing happened.

That year, on the border, when Huang Xiaolong had killed Ning Fei, the brother of King Ning from the Ningwu Family Clan Leader, King Ning had also sent assassins several times to kill Huang Xiaolong and his family members in the past few years.

Therefore, upon breaking through to the Innate, the first he would annihilate would definitely be the Great Sword Sect and next the Ningwu Family.

After asking about the Great Sword Sect and the Ningwu Family, Huang Xiaolong then inquired about the recent situation of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion from the two.

Years ago, Huang Xiaolong had instructed Fei Hou to purchase and train a group of servants.

Over the years, these servants had greatly increased in strength and, under Huang Xiaolong’s instruction, had established a Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce, which primarily dealt with publishing books and magazines similar to those entertainment and information magazines from Earth.

Although it had only been established for two years, the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce was operating very well and had already set up more than a dozen branches throughout the Luotong Kingdom.

Issuing hundreds of thousands of publications daily, they brought in several thousand Gold Coins each day.

Currently, the financial support for the Heavenly Mystical Mansion and all other expenses mainly came from the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce.

“Fei Hou, next year, expand the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce again.

Open a branch in every county of the Luotong Kingdom.

You arrange the specifics,” Huang Xiaolong pondered and said.

“Yes, Sect Leader!” Fei Hou responded respectfully.

“Moreover, beneath the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce, establish an assassin group.

You will select the personnel,” Huang Xiaolong continued.

It was time to give the Great Sword Sect and the Ningwu Family a taste of their own medicine.

Fei Hou respectfully complied.

A while later, Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou both left.

As soon as they had left, his sister Huang Min and Li Lu came over, with Huang Min insisting on dragging Huang Xiaolong out to go shopping with them.

In the end, he had no choice but to comply with his sister’s wishes.

After spending the afternoon shopping, they returned to the courtyard, and Huang Xiaolong began to cultivate the Asura Technique.

The Asura Technique had already been cultivated to the third level, granting him the Demon Wings.

If he cultivated to the fourth level, an Eye of Hell would emerge at his brow point.

This Eye of Hell could see through all essence and concealment and conduct soul attacks.

At that point, the Asura Body would become even stronger.

However, according to Huang Xiaolong’s estimation, he needed to break through the Innate stage before he could cultivate the Asura Technique to the fourth level.

Ten days passed.

During the days in the courtyard, Huang Xiaolong cultivated the Asura Sword Technique by day, and the Asura Technique and Yijinjing at night.

As for the Exquisite Golden Body, he had now cultivated it to the second level.

After reaching the second level of Exquisite Golden Body, he could continuously absorb the Flame Dragon Qi from the Exquisite Treasure Tower and cultivate automatically.

As ten days went by, it was almost New Year’s.

The Heavenly Mystical Mansion was adorned with lights and buzzing with excitement.

In the four years since, the Heavenly Mystical Mansion had expanded by another half, with over six hundred guards in the mansion alone, and nearly a hundred servants and maids.

As New Year approached, Huang Peng and Su Yan also began their New Year preparations.

On New Year’s Eve, Huang Xiaolong did not cultivate, but spent the evening talking and laughing with his family and Li Lu.

On New Year’s Day, the family went out to visit some famous sites in the Royal City.

The New Year passed.

Huang Xiaolong continued his cultivation.

Half a month later.

The moonlight was like water.

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged within the Exquisite Pagoda Space, constantly circulating the Asura Technique.

The Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi in his meridians and Qi Sea surged relentlessly, circulating, striking.

Huang Xiaolong had a premonition that tonight, he would likely break through to the Ninth Rank.

A black and a blue dragon hovered behind Huang Xiaolong, coiling around him.

A faint Dragon Power filled every inch of the Exquisite Pagoda Space.

Four years had passed, and his Double Dragon Martial Soul had grown significantly larger than when it had broken through to the Seventh Rank.

As the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi in his meridians and Qi Sea surged and struck, the barrier of the Ninth Rank grew thinner.

However, every strike of the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi against the Ninth Rank barrier brought intense pain through his meridians, several times more painful than any past breakthrough.

Huang Xiaolong endured the intense pain, repeatedly circulating the Asura Technique.

It seemed like ages had passed when suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s body shuddered, and a faint crackling sound came from within.

The Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi burst forth from the eighth level meridians like a flood from an open sluice into the ninth level meridians, while in the Qi Sea, the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi kept compressing and gathering, further enlarging the Qi Sea.

At last, the Ninth Rank was broken through!

The black and blue dragons behind Huang Xiaolong howled to the sky, their dragon scales becoming even more solid and shiny.

The entire Exquisite Pagoda vibrated uncontrollably, its golden glow intensifying.
