Chapter 1366: Chapter 357: Level 4 Civilization

"Dead?"

The Shangguan Clan, the Council of Elders’ Bell.

The Second Elder sat in his place, looking at the shattered Soul Jade in his hand, his lips twitching uncontrollably, filled with rage.

Zhong Mu is dead!

Another member of the Shangguan Clan has been killed!

An intolerable insult.

"Second Elder, the Clan Leader requests your presence!"

At this time, a guard walked in, cupping his fists and saying.

"I understand!"

The Second Elder nodded, his figure gradually becoming faint, and finally disappearing.

Half an hour later, the Second Elder entered the palace at the mountain peak, which was filled with over thirty figures exuding terrifying auras, all of them Creation Realm Martial Artists.

Especially the one sitting at the top, dressed in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his demeanor transcendent, like a black hole, unfathomable.

He is the Clan Leader of the Shangguan Clan, Shangguan Huangji!

"Clan Leader!"

The Second Elder stood in the center of the hall, bowing to Shangguan Huangji.

"Sit, we were waiting for you!"

Shangguan Huangji pointed to an empty seat, speaking softly.

His voice was not loud, but where the sound waves spread, countless forms of Tao emerged, piercing through time and space, as if the martial world was being restarted.

"As you command!"

The Second Elder responded and sat in his place.

But just as he sat, he heard Shangguan Huangji’s voice with a hint of interrogation: "Second Elder, explain the death of Zhong Mu!"

The Second Elder’s heart tightened, but he was not too surprised.

Zhong Mu!

Although he had the authority to command Zhong Mu, the latter was after all a top strength of the Shangguan Clan, and his death naturally attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

In the Tianhe Universe, any Creation Realm Warrior is a precious asset to the major forces.

Dead!

It would make one’s heart ache!

Even as one of the four great families, the Shangguan Clan does not have many Creation Realm warriors, often taking billions of years to produce one.

"Clan Leader, ten years ago, the recruitment steward Shangguan Yunjian came to the Council of Elders, claiming that the myriad worlds of the Xuan Universe were hostile to the Shangguan Clan and had even killed Shangguan Yunjian’s servant!"

"Hearing this, I too was furious and sent Zhong Mu to destroy the myriad worlds, who would have thought..."

Speaking to the end, the Second Elder shook his head and knelt on the ground, full of shame: "Clan Leader, fellow elders, due to my negligence, I caused Zhong Mu’s death, I am willing to accept any punishment!"

He did not shirk responsibility!

Causing the death of a Creation Realm warrior and bringing great loss to the family, he admitted guilt and penalty.

The bigger the family, the stricter the rules.

Merit is rewarded!

Fault is punished!

"Second Elder, rise!"

From the main seat, Shangguan Huangji did not get angry, but instead said with a smile: "The Second Elder is protecting the honor of the family and eliminating its enemies, what crime is there?"

"It is not you who is at fault, but those myriad worlds!"

"Daring to oppose the Shangguan Clan deserves death!"

Death!

An incomparable killing intent burst forth from him, turning the void in the hall blood red, with scenes of countless universes being destroyed, terrifying beyond compare.

The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, sitting back in his place.

"Clan Leader, although Zhong Mu was strong, he died in the Xuan Universe, I suggest investigating the situation of the myriad worlds!"

At this moment, the Grand Elder sitting at the foremost spoke up.

Shangguan Huangji’s eyes flashed with contemplation.

"Grand Elder, is it necessary?"

The Second Elder said calmly: "Even if we uncover the origin of the myriad worlds, would the Shangguan Clan not seek revenge?"

Revenge!

That is the most important thing!

His words also garnered support from several elders in the hall.

In any case, as they were determined to seek revenge, why waste time?

"Of course it’s important!"

The Grand Elder glanced at the Second Elder, somewhat displeased: "Logically, warriors of low-level universes find it difficult to break through to the rule domain, yet now the Xuan Universe has an existence capable of killing a Creation Realm warrior, is this normal?"

"Moreover, the reason I want to investigate the myriad worlds is also to understand their strength better, in order to formulate a battle plan!"

For some reason, he always felt the myriad worlds were not simple.

Being cautious.

It is never wrong!

On this, the Second Elder held an opposite view: "Of course the strength of the myriad worlds is abnormal, but so what? From the moment these myriad worlds started killing members of the Shangguan Clan, it was destined that the Shangguan Clan and the myriad worlds would not rest until one perished!"

"As for the strength of the myriad worlds, it is indeed not weak, but can it compare to our Shangguan Clan?"

"At worst, for the next actions, we will simply send more strong men!"

Hearing the Second Elder’s words, Shangguan Huangji nodded imperceptibly.

The dignity of the Shangguan Clan cannot be challenged by anyone.

In the surrounding universes, the Shangguan Clan fears no force.

Even against the Tianhe Universe’s imperial family and the other three great families, the Shangguan Clan is merely wary, not afraid.

Of course, confronted with massive powers like the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, the Shangguan Clan would not dare to offend, but those myriad worlds clearly are not among them.

In that case, what is there to hesitate about?

"This matter, leave it to the Second Elder to handle!"

Once clear, Shangguan Huangji ordered with authority.

"I will not disappoint the Clan Leader!"

The Second Elder thumped his chest, loudly assuring.

Speaking as he did, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his face, he intended to make the creatures of the myriad worlds die in the most painful manner.

"Your strength may surpass Zhong Mu’s, but since the myriad worlds also killed Zhong Mu, you must be cautious, not careless; even a lion must use all its strength to catch a rabbit!"

Shangguan Huangji was still a bit uneasy and reminded once more.

"Please rest assured, Clan Leader!"

"I failed once, but I will absolutely not fail a second time!"

The Second Elder assured.

Shangguan Huangji nodded, his figure gradually fading, disappearing without a trace.

That day, the Second Elder led ten figures, departing from the Shangguan Clan, exuding a terrifying aura, with three Creation Realm warriors and seven rule domain peak warriors.

Such formidable power is sufficient to annihilate any top-tier force in the Tianhe Universe.

...

The Qin Dynasty.

Imperial Capital City.

At this moment, a grand ceremony was being held.

Today, the Qin Dynasty is officially advancing to a fourth-level civilization.

Atop the ninety-nine-tier altar, Qin Wudao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, surrounded by two giant dragons, their roars shaking the heavens, resounding throughout the entire Xuan Universe.

Beneath the altar, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty stood.

In the local cities, officials of all levels stood in the City Lord’s mansion, their faces full of anticipation.

In the various civilizations of the Xuan Universe, all lords faced the direction of the myriad worlds, their expressions respectful.

"Fortune Dragon, advance!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Wudao commanded with authority.

Imperial decree.

The decree carried the weight of law.

"Roar!"

Within the sea of fortune, the Fortune Dragon roared to the sky, beginning to devour vast amounts of fortune, its coiling body shimmering with divine light, becoming extraordinarily noble and supreme.

An hour later, the Fortune Dragon transformed into a Fortune Spirit Dragon.

"Today, the Qin Dynasty advances to a fourth-level civilization!"

Looking at the Fortune Spirit Dragon above, Qin Wudao smiled slightly and commanded once more.

As his voice fell, deep within the Xuan Universe, strands of cosmic order appeared, descending beams of divine light, infusing into the sea of fortune.
