Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 219: Sovereign of Great Qin

The night passed without incident.

Xu Ping’an spent almost the entire night immersed in cultivation.

Overnight, Xu Ping’an devoured a large amount of Sixth Rank Monster Cores and began to strengthen his True Yuan.

Upon completing the First Transformation, Xu Ping’an started undergoing the Second Transformation.

By the end of the night, he had only completed the transformation of five hundred strands of True Yuan.

As for the Thunder Attribute True Yuan, he also began the First Transformation, but likewise, he only completed five hundred strands.

Simultaneously with the True Yuan transformation, Xu Ping’an was also utilizing Indestructible Thunder Bone Tempering.

Now his Bone Tempering had reached the Sixth Rank Peak, and the seventh Bone Tempering was nearly completed.

Once finished, Xu Ping’an would be able to break through to the Seventh Rank.

It must be said that after his Soul Realm had grown stronger, his speed of cultivation had increased greatly.

He could cultivate several Cultivation Techniques at the same time.

This would have been impossible in the past, but now it was quite easy for Xu Ping’an.

"The competition takes an entire month, and during this month, I can improve some more," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

The reason for his confidence was that he still had enough time to enhance his strength.

One month was sufficient for him to complete the Second Transformation for both his attributes and possibly even the Third Transformation.

Besides, his Realm might also break through to the Fifth Rank.

At that time his strength would see another huge improvement.

So even against those formidable geniuses, Xu Ping’an was not afraid.

After getting ready, Xu Ping’an stepped out of the courtyard.

Li Qingyi, Situ Feng, and others were already waiting in the yard.

Xu Ping’an glanced at Li Qingyi and noticed that her aura had grown much stronger than the previous night, showing a trend towards breaking through to the Second Layer of the Fifth Rank.

It seemed she too felt the immense pressure and was madly improving her strength.

"Is everyone here? Let’s go to the Holy Battlefield together," Dugu Tianyu walked over and said.

Everyone nodded and followed Dugu Tianyu towards the Holy Battlefield.

Upon arriving, Xu Ping’an and the others were momentarily shocked by the scene before them.

A massive battle square, as big as twenty football fields.

And the spectator stands around were filled to the brim, dense with innumerable people.

"There must be around three hundred thousand people, right?" Tang Yu said, astonished.

"Yes, about three hundred and sixty thousand. This is the hundredth Holy Refinement, and it’s said that the Sovereign will make a personal appearance. It’s also the year with the most geniuses, hence it’s getting a lot of attention," Dugu Tianyu explained.

"That many?" Even Xu Ping’an was surprised.

It was rare to see such large gatherings of people in the Spirit Realm.

For a Mortal Realm’s Immortal Dynasty to hold such an event was quite astonishing.

Soon, Xu Ping’an and his group reached a resting area, prepared especially for those from Tianlong County.

Xu Ping’an took a quick look and saw there were many similar resting areas.

Their group had the fewest people, with other powers having more than ten people each.

The Imperial Academy was the most extravagant, with a whopping three hundred people.

These were all geniuses, and the fact that the Imperial Academy could present so many showed the depth of its foundation.

Xu Ping’an roughly counted and saw they had over sixty Fifth Rank individuals.

This was the most among all the powers, even more than the Shangxian Sect, which had only over thirty Fifth Rank individuals.

The imperial family had over twenty Fifth Rank individuals, and the General’s Mansion had even more, with over forty.

Moreover, these individuals had intense auras of slaughter, clearly having gone through countless battles.

Obviously, they had all undergone military training.

These people were strong, even stronger and more fearsome, more ruthless than ordinary geniuses.

The Martial King’s Mansion was similar, evidently also coming from a military background.

Of course, the most attention-grabbing was the Hehuan Sect.

They brought dozens of women, all of them beautiful.

Each one was breathtakingly gorgeous and occasionally threw flirtatious glances at the geniuses from other powers.

Some geniuses from other powers were already spellbound before the fight had even started.

Even Tang Yu had locked eyes with one of them, becoming somewhat restless and distracted.

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.

```

Not to mention anything else, but the survival rate for the Hehuan Sect in this first test is probably the highest.

Xu Ping’an looked around. All the major forces were more or less the same, and some strong contenders would not easily reveal themselves.

Even he couldn’t see through these people’s true strength.

"Don’t be nervous, just do your best," Dugu Tianyu said to Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Who’s nervous?

It’s you who’s nervous, look at your hands trembling.

"Sect Leader, will the Sovereign of Great Qin come over?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, he will come. He might not have in the past, but this is the hundredth event, which has a special significance," Dugu Tianyu said.

Xu Ping’an nodded, feeling a bit curious about this Sovereign of Great Qin.

He wanted to see whether the Sovereign was a Ninth Rank Expert or above Ninth Rank.

Rumor had it he was at the peak of Ninth Rank, but Xu Ping’an felt it might be more than that.

"He’s here!"

At that moment, Dugu Tianyu suddenly spoke.

Xu Ping’an looked towards the distance.

He saw a figure stepping through the air, covering ten thousand meters in one step, appearing atop the central seat of the Holy Battlefield in the blink of an eye.

"It’s General Dingguo! An Eighth Rank Strongman," someone exclaimed around them immediately.

Xu Ping’an looked up at the man on the platform. He had a square face, imposing and incredibly powerful.

From him, Xu Ping’an could feel a terrifying aura of slaughter.

The man’s strength was indeed at the peak of Eighth Rank, but his combat power was definitely terrifying.

"Swoosh!" A figure flew in.

"It’s Martial King!" someone immediately said.

Xu Ping’an looked at the newcomer, equally strong, roughly comparable to General Dingguo.

Compared to those Eighth Rank strongmen from the Spirit Realm, he seemed just as formidable.

Afterwards, more than a dozen figures swept in, all of them with Seventh Rank cultivation.

Xu Ping’an spotted an acquaintance among them, Yan Wu.

As these individuals took their seats, the pressure felt by everyone in the field grew tremendously.

The newcomers had not released any imposing pressure, but the atmosphere created by their powerful cultivations exerted a huge force upon all those present.

At this point, the atmosphere of those dozen individuals had completely overshadowed the atmosphere of the three hundred thousand people.

Xu Ping’an could hear astonished gasps around him.

"Hum!"

At that moment, the void was torn apart, and a figure emerged from it.

As soon as the figure appeared, a formidable aura overpowered everyone present, including the dozen strong figures.

Seeing this, the hearts of all the people in the field skipped a beat.

The Sovereign!

The Sovereign has appeared.

"Long live the Sovereign!" countless figures knelt down.

Even Tang Yu and others beside him couldn’t help but kneel down.

Indeed, their submission came from the heart.

The overwhelming Emperor’s Might emanating from the Sovereign of Great Qin could easily influence one’s mind, compelling one to submit.

Xu Ping’an did not kneel, this level of Emperor’s Might couldn’t affect him at all.

In his previous life, he was an Immortal Emperor, whose majesty was much more vast than this.

Apart from him not kneeling, Li Qingyi also did not kneel, nor did some of the geniuses.

So, Xu Ping’an didn’t stand out excessively.

"Definitely more than Ninth Rank, Tenth Rank or even higher," Xu Ping’an looked at the Sovereign of Great Qin and immediately felt his heart tremble.

He felt a strong ripple of laws on the Sovereign of Great Qin.

Laws, or rules, could only be comprehended by those above Tenth Rank.

This Sovereign of Great Qin was very strong!

And as Xu Ping’an observed the Sovereign of Great Qin.

Not far from him, an ordinary-looking female disciple of the Five Elements Sect also stared directly at the Sovereign of Great Qin, with confusion in her eyes and not a hint of respect.
