“That’s right! ” Ceng Leng quickly followed up, “Otherwise, the enmity between you and our All Dragons League will never end till one of us is annihilated!”
Huwang Xiao sneered inwardly, it seems like these two people still couldn't see the situation clearly, he too was too lazy to be bothered with more words. One thousand hands all of a sudden bloomed from his back, punching out in accordance with his two fists.
“The Ninth Move of the Dragon God, Dragon God in the Clouds!”
Tens of thousands of divine dragons flew out, exuding a vast majestic dragon might as their roars reverberated through the heavens.
Both Lin Tong and Ceng Leng were taken aback. Staring at the myriad divine dragons, their feet staggered backwards in panic while their hands sent out messy episodes in feeble attempts to defend. However, before Huwang Xiao’s Godly Xumi Art coupled with the Ninth Move of The Dragon God, regardless of how intense the two of them retaliated or dodged, they felt just like powerless.
In the blink of an eye, both Lin Tong and Ceng Leng were drowned by the attack, unseen.
In the eyes of those elite disciples spectating in the distance, the two peak mid-Sixth Order God Realm, Lin Tong, and Ceng Leng, were no different than the couple of All Dragons League disciples below them, slamming heavily down the bottom.
The earth shook vigorously in protest as another two deep human-shaped pits emerged. Every single All Dragons Little league disciple present was dealt with!
In a quick flicker, Huwang Xiao appeared above both human-shaped pits that were Lin Tong and Ceng Leng, stomping his foot down through the void. Immediately, two tragic howls rang out from having their arms broken under Huwang Xiao’s foot.
“Go back and tell Jiang Yu, the twenty- peaks around my Golden Dragon Maximum, I want them all!” His gaze grew icy looking at the two, “If he isn’t happy about it, tell him to come look for me himself!”
The twenty-odd peaks around my Golden Dragon Top, I want them all!
Yang Feiyue and the surrounding elite disciples stared dumbstruck at Huwang Xiao. No one got ever dared to snatch food from the mouth area of the All Dragons Group, but not only do Huwang Xiao want the Golden Dragon Peak, he even wanted the twenty odd peaks encircling it!
Domineering!
Powerful!
These were the immediate words that came to the crowd’s mind.
“Now scram!” Using a kick, a strong wind from Huwang Xiao’s leg rolled Lin Tong, Ceng Leng, and the rest of the All Dragons League’s disciple off his Golden Dragon Maximum.
Even though Ling Tong, Ceng Leng, and the rest were fuming with anger and hatred, no one dared to utter a word, fleeing away disheveled and embarrassed until not a single All Dragons League disciple remained in the vicinity.
Watching Ling Tong, Ceng Leng, and others running away in a sorry state, Huwang Xiao coldly snorted. He trusted that after this little episode, there wouldn’t be other top notch disciples that would come looking for trouble at his doorstep.
Such as the likes of Gudu Jiu, Long Junze, Wang Xiaomei, and Pan Haicheng.
As for that Jiang Yu, whether he’d be angered or otherwise wasn’t something he cared about. Turning around, Huwang Xiao once more took out the Hailstone Holy Cauldron, beginning to refine his third palace residence.
The Hailstone Treasure vault contained large quantities of Divine World’s iron and ores. Not to mention one hundred similar palaces, it could satisfy Huwang Xiao’s requirements even if he wanted to refine two hundred palaces.
It didn’t take long for the news about the fight between Huwang Xiao and the All Dragons Little league to pass on throughout the ranks of elite disciples. Without doubt, as the Dark Warrior Institute’s Vice-Principal, Wang Na also received a report on the problem.
“This Huwang Xiao is really arrogant without limit, causing trouble no matter where he goes.” A cold glint flashed across Wang Na’s eyes.
“But Huwang Xiao’s power once again surpassed my estimation. He still kept some strength hidden in the fight with Xiang Mingzhi yesterday.” Sitting in the lower subordinate seat, Grand Elder Liu Yu frowned deeply as he stated, “If we allow this person to grow further, I’m scared he will affect our plan two hundred years later.”
“Exactly, this child must die.” Another Grand Elder, Qi Bowen declared with a hard iciness to his tone.
The Black Warrior Institute had no less than forty Grand Elders, and half of these supported Wang Na, that was also the main reason why she dared to oppose Feng Yang so openly.
“Don’t worry, he won’t live till that time.” Wang Na sneered, “But, even if he can live till that point, he won’t be able to affect our plans.”
“I heard that the kid’s body contains a kind of fire that can even melt the Divine World’s iron and ores.” Liu Yun somberly said.
Wang Na shook her head, not caring much about any of it, “It’s nothing, it’s not like he really possesses the strength of a Highgod Realm master. Us wanting to kill him is as easy as killing a stray dog. However, Feng Yang that old monster, is still sitting in the official position, therefore we cannot touch Huwang Xiao using conventional means and can only make our moves in the dark. Actually, we don’t need to do anything, the Azure Dragon Institute hates his guts more than us, they wish to see Huwang Xiao dead more than us!”
“However, that Hailstone Treasure, we must not let others snatch it before us!”

One day had passed since the All Dragons Group commotion.
Huwang Xiao finally finished refining his eighty-first palace home.
Eighty-one Nine-nine palaces, portraying the Bagua's numeric Palace of Nine Halls. Eighty-one palaces organized structurally at the middle point of the Golden Dragon Top, connected to each other to form an octagon shaped cluster of palaces.
Using these eighty-one palaces, Huwang Xiao laid out a ‘Palace of Nine Halls’ Bagua Trigrams Formation. This is one of the ancient times’ divine level formations, consisting of defensive, strike, and illusion formations in one body. On top of that, Huwang Xiao refined these eighty-one palaces using iron and ores from the Divine World, greatly increasing their protection capacity, much like the headquarters of some super forces and families.
Huwang Xiao didn't have real deep knowledge toward formations, but with Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, a formation expert by his part, laying out this Palace of Nine Halls Bagua Trigrams Formation was no problem at all.
In the number of hundred li area cleared by Huwang Xiao at the center point of the mountain, the eighty-one palaces merely took up about eight-tenths. This left two-tenths of land vacant, on which he prepared to plant some spiritual grass, flowers, and trees.
When all of these were done, Huwang Xiao took away the Ten Killing Swords given by his Third Apprentice-sister Qi Wen and used the secret method taught by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi to incorporate them into the Golden Dragon Peak.
If someone tried to attack the Golden Dragon Peak, the Ten Killing Swords’ Ten Getting rid of Formation would activate on its own, exterminating the enemies at the door.
Consequently, Huwang Xiao used a few thousand pieces of Flame Yang Jade to build a big jade lakebed at the center of the eighty-one palaces. The air above the Flame Yang Jade Lakebed was inscribed with an ancient formation called Nine Dragons Locking Yang Formation. Then he required out the Nine Yang Holy Water that his Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother gave him, pouring out all the Nine Yang Holy Drinking water within the gourd out in to the Fire Yang Jade lakebed.
With the ancient Nine Dragons Locking Yang Formation laid above the jade lakebed, he need not worry about the Nine Yang Holy Water’s spirituality leaking out or dissipating. With this Nine Yang Holy Water, the spiritual trees and shrubs and herbs that he was planting inside the Palace of Nine Halls could have double their normal medicinal efficiency. A cultivator’s physical attributes would gradually improve by consuming these spiritual flowers, lawn, and the fruits from these trees, starting from their internal organs.
The Nine Yang Holy Water’s presence inside the Palace of Nine Halls Bagua Trigrams Formation would also bring about myriads of benefits simply by cultivating within.
According to Huwang Xiao’s estimation, such a huge Nine Yang Holy Drinking water Lake would last for at least a hundred years. When its efficiency diminished, he would search for more holy water or even a spring.
At last, Huwang Xiao took out the Five-colored Divine Banner, also integrating it into the Golden Dragon Maximum using a secret method, flicking 100 divine grade spirit stones in to the spiritual energy gathering formation inscribed on the banner.
Immediately, the purest spiritual energy from the deep void rumbled and rolled, gathering toward the Golden Dragon Peak. The surrounding religious energy became a hundred times richer.
Extremely dense spiritual energy accumulated in the sky above the Golden Dragon Peak, turning into pillows of spiritual clouds.
Bathing under this rich spiritual energy, the entire Golden Dragon Peak’s common grass, and flowers actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, an enchanting tapestry of swaying jadeite green.
If the current environment persisted, these common shrubs and trees could grow into several hundred years old spiritual grass and trees in merely a decade. A hundred years later, they could evolve into spiritual natural herbs aged several thousand years!
Although thousands of years old religious grass, flowers, and trees weren’t that rare, then again, how big was the whole Golden Dragon Top? The Golden Dragon hill acquired a radius of eight thousand li and a height of five to six hundred zhang. From top to bottom, it would be a hill filled with several thousand years old spiritual trees, plants, and lawn on every inch, how much would it be worth? It would be inestimable.
Observing the rich spiritual energy around his Golden Dragon mountain as it continued to form pillows of spiritual clouds, he nodded his mind with satisfaction. He was sure that after bringing his parents over, they could advance to peak half-step Saint realm in the shortest time.
As an afterthought, Huwang Xiao took out a piece of sacred grade immortal spirit stone and buried it deep down into the Golden Dragon Peak with a flick of his finger.
Natural religious energy already existed deep down inside the Golden Dragon mountain. The moment that piece of sacred quality immortal soul rock joined the ground, it immediately accelerated the generation of the underground natural spiritual energy, causing it to spread further out and grow stronger. The complete Golden Dragon Maximum’s religious energy increased by another level.
“Tsk, you kid really showed a generous hands ah, a hundred divine grade nature stones, one sacred grade immortal spirit stone, Five-colored Divine Banner, and Nine Yang Holy Water!” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi clucked his tongue in amazement watching Huwang Xiao throwing treasure after treasure onto the Golden Dragon Top, “Even your Master’s cultivation cave isn’t as luxurious as your Golden Dragon Peak!”
Huwang Xiao sheepishly chuckled, “Wait till I break through to Highgod World, I’ll handle the restrictions placed on you. At that time, we’ll work together to lay out an even better cultivation cave!”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi also chuckled, “That’s not a bad idea.” His voice paused briefly before continuing, “Still, that Five-colored Divine Banner’s heart stones consumption is too large, those one hundred divine quality spirit rocks that you supplied will only last ten years roughly.”
Although a hundred divine grade spirit stones were used to activate the spiritual energy gathering formation on the banner, enhancing the spiritual energy around the Golden Dragon Peak many times over, it was still a great cost that could merely last a decade.
One hundred divine grade spirit stones for a mere decade, even a wealthy very force like the Dark Warrior Institute wouldn’t be prepared to spend so much.
Huwang Xiao replied nonchalantly, “Inside the Hailstone Treasure vault, there are more than five hundred divine grade spirit stones remaining, it's enough to sustain it for fifty years, we’ll think about the things after when they're finished.”
To Huwang Xiao, the most crucial matter was to help his parents improve their power in the shortest time possible, it didn't matter how many divine grade soul stones were consumed.
Furthermore, what he had was money, an inexhaustible amount of money. Even without the Hailstone Treasure, he himself could condense limitless amounts of nature rocks. Fifty years later, he'd think of a method to procure some divine grade heart stones.
When he recalled the matter of condensing spirit stones, Huwang Xiao abruptly had a thought. Ever since he obtained the Hailstone Treasure, several years had passed since he last tried condensing soul stones. Wondering what quality of spirit rocks he could condense now that he was a peak early Fifth Order God Realm grasp, a suction force formed from Huwang Xiao’s hand. Spiritual energy spiraled like a vortex tunnel that gathered in Huwang Xiao’s palm, condensing into a spirit stone.
“Mid-heaven grade spirit stone!” Huwang Xiao’s eye sparkled, delighted as he held the mid-heaven grade spirit rock that was close to high heaven quality spirit stone.
In the past, when Huwang Xiao was still a Second Order and Third Order God Realm, he could only condense grade one spirit stones, but now, it was finally upgraded to heaven grade spirit stones!
The value of the heaven grade spirit stone was greater than a dozen times higher than a grade one spirit stone. Still, he was quick to note that his speed was slower when condensing a heaven grade spirit stone compared to a grade one spirit stone.
He used to have the ability to condense five quality one spirit stones in one go, whereas now, the quantity was reduced right down to an individual heaven grade spirit rock. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the amount of spiritual energy required to form a heaven quality spirit stone was too great, causing him to only be able to condense one piece each time.
Based on his current speed, he should be able to condense approximately fifty thousand heaven grade spirit rocks in a day. If taken out for auction, fifty thousand heaven grade spirit stones could fetch around 1000 million.
“Six hundred million per day, about twenty billion in a month, and 2 hundred billion a year!” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi exclaimed, “You’re a bottomless Hailstone Treasure yourself!”
Huwang Xiao grinned. He flipped around and still left after activating the Palace of Nine Halls Bagua Trigrams Formation, going off to bring his parents and others to his Golden Dragon Maximum.
Ch.624
Soon after passing through the transmission array, Huwang Xiao reached the Luo Tong Residence in the Black Warrior City, however, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere inside the residence was somewhat depressed, even a little dreary.
Only now did Huwang Xiao find out that even though not even two days had passed because the inner disciples’ assessment ended until now, the Luo Tong Residence had suffered more than ten attacks!
Fortunately, there were the Nine-tailed Bright Radiance Tiger, Strongarm Water-fire Apes, and the other demonic beasts’ protection. Prior to this, Huwang Xiao made a request to his Eldest Older Apprentice-brother Liu Yun to have the Dark Warrior City guards pay extra attention to the safety round the Luo Tong Home. Despite so, the Luo Tong Residence still suffered much loss, both injured and deaths.
From the over three hundred Saint world subordinates that Huwang Xiao brought over from the Martial Spirit World, more than sixty had died!
It could be counted as a small blessing that his parents and siblings, nephew Guo Xiaofan, Xie Puti, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Blessed Buddha Emperor, Duanren Emperor, and some others were safe.
Anger blazed in Huwang Xiao’s eyes. He converted around, asking Zhao Shu, “Did you find out which family members delivered them?”
Zhao Shu shook his head, “Black Warrior Institute disciples from the Dark Warrior City and Cloudsea Mainland’s Enforcer teams have been investigating to no avail.”
Huwang Xiao’s eye gleamed with sharpness.
A
lthough the investigation bore no results, the probability of it being the Jiang Family was the highest. Other than the Jiang Family, there have been also the Gudu Family and Wang Family. In fact, most of the super causes may have had a hand in it.
For those first and second rank makes, they didn't yet have the courage to ignore the Black Warrior City or the Cloudsea Mainland’s guidelines, risking everything. As tempting as the Hailstone Treasure itself was, one needed to be alive to actually enjoy it after all.
Without delay, Huwang Xiao told his parents and ordered everyone else to pack up their things and follow him to the Golden Dragon Peak.
When the Huwang Family, Blessed Buddha Emperor, Duanren Emperor, and everybody else reached the Golden Dragon Peak, all of them were struck dumb and speechless at the horrifying amount of spiritual energy and the Palace of Nine Halls Bagua Trigrams Formation.
Toward this Golden Dragon Top that was filled with scenery resembling a blessed immortal land, the majestic corners of the eighty-one palaces, Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and the rest couldn’t be happier.
His sister Huwang Min was the first ever to rush in after seeing the eighty-one palaces, cheering just like a young maiden. Following that, everyone cheerfully went to pick the residence they liked, with the Huwang Family choosing the centermost palace, the one closest to the Nine Yang Holy Drinking water Jade Lake.
In each of the eighty-one palaces, there were more than ten independent courtyards, and apart from that, there is also an alchemy room, a main hall, etc.
Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Blessed Buddha Emperor Shi Fantian, Duanren Emperor, the Guo Family Ancestor, Xie Puti, and a few others collectively picked the same palace structure, right beside the Huwang Family.
At the existing point of your time, Huwang Xiao’s subordinates numbered at two hundred and sixty-eight, hence, only twenty or so palaces were occupied, while the rest were left empty.
