When they finished electing the eastern alliance leader, the climax of the conference had arrived. Under the leadership of the alliance leader, all powerhouses offered a drop of their blood to form a contract for the alliance.

After forming the contract, the Stargaze Palace set up an extravagant feast to serve the guests that had come from all over the eastern territories. The atmosphere was enlivened instantly.

Through a few months of preparation, the entire Stargaze Palace was extremely satisfied with the result of this Eastern Alliance meeting. Not only had they become the leader of the eastern alliance, it also helped the Stargaze Palace to create a long-lasting impression in the eastern territories.

This successful step had indeed, established a solid foundation in preparation of the Great Luo Empire’s advancement into the Upper Ranking Empire status. Currently, since the Stargaze Palace had concluded the eastern alliance conference, they would need the Great Luo Royal Family to conduct the subsequent processes to become an Upper Ranking Empire.

For everything, it seemed that where water flowed, a canal was formed. The Great Luo Empire started to make the final preparations.

In the human countries, the Upper Ranking Empire was the highest existence. Thus, the so-called advancement was just making the declaration themselves.

Of course, this self-declaration was profound. They could not just make a declaration as they pleased. At least, to acquire the position of an Upper Ranking Empire, they must receive recognition from the other three Upper Ranking Empires in the human countries. Once they had received recognition, they could conduct the ceremony. Or else, it would be overstepping their authority and creating hostility with the other Upper Ranking Empire. In the worst case, they might even send joint punitive expeditions to the Great Luo.

Thus, it was necessary to probe the reaction of the other three Upper Ranking Empires.

Among the three Upper Ranking Empires, they had just recently formed a grudge with the Red Dragon Empire after their battles. Naturally, they didn’t need to guess their reaction.

The crucial points lay with the Sky Travel and the Nine Raven Empire. The Great Luo Empire would send representatives to visit these two Upper Ranking Empire.

While at the same time, they were also wildly beating gongs and drums to mark the final preparations for advancing into the Upper Ranking Empire.

Seizing a rare moment, Qin Wushuang was devoting his concentration to training with Bao Bao and the Purple Flame Electric beast.

The current Qin Wushuang held an outstanding position in the Stargaze Palace. Thus, he was free to use all training grounds.

On this day, Bao Bao was engaged in a heated martial arts training with the Purple Flame Electric beast. Suddenly, he seemed to have felt something as he stopped: “Senior Lone, let’s stop for a moment.”

The Purple Flame Electric beast was stunned as he cried: “Bao Bao, if you want to fight, then fight, why are you stopping?”

Bao Bao sat on the ground: “The spiritual Qi in my body is surging and rolling, it seems to be the sign of a breakthrough.”

The Purple Flame Electric beast cried out strangely: “Impossible! Bao Bao, didn’t you just say that you only entered the Perfect Stage not so long ago? Why are you showing signs of a breakthrough?”

Bao Bao chuckled: “This is the advantage of having the bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey.”

Qin Wushuang approached him: “Bao Bao, is it true you are showing signs of a breakthrough?”

Bao Bao nodded with an unprecedented seriousness: “Boss Wushuang, that’s right. Isn’t it too soon?”

Initially, Qin Wushuang thought Bao Bao was already quite fast at improving his strength. However, in less than six month, this Bao Bao was going to breakthrough again.

And this breakthrough was unlike any other one, he was to reach a whole other level—the Void Martial Stage!

The Purple Flame Electric Beast swore: “Darn it, Bao Bao, I was at the peak of the Perfect Stage before getting sealed. And yet, I still don’t feel any signs of a breakthrough. If you do, where do you leave me standing?”

Bao Bao said proudly: “Senior Lone, could it be that you are jealous of me?”

The Purple Flame Electric Beast said angrily: “Of course not! I will also train hard in isolation, and aim to break through sooner! I cannot let you, a little monkey, charge ahead of me.”

Qin Wushuang knew that both the Purple Flame Electric Beast and Bao Bao were rare talented spiritual beasts. And Bao Bao not only had the bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey, but he had also consumed that Holy Ivory Flower, a ten thousand year holy treasure.

With the Holy Ivory Flower awakening the bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey, it would be a piece of cake to breakthrough to the next step in the Spiritual Martial Force. If Bao Bao was only at the Initial Stage of the Spiritual Martial Force, it would be even possible for him to rise to the Perfect Stage.

Since advancing two levels at the same time was nothing, not to mention for him to advance one level.

“Boss Wushuang, then I must ask you to protect us.” Bao Bao made a witty face.

Qin Wushuang laughed: “Ok, this is easy. In the Stargaze territory, there won’t be any accidents. However, I will still defend you guys.”

Bao Bao said to the Purple Flame Electric Beast with a smile: “Senior Lone, how long are you going to train in isolation?”

The Purple Flame Electric Beast cried out: “Ten days…No, a month, no no, three or five months! Ha, why do you care!”

Bao Bao laughed: “Senior Lone, this is not training in isolation, but you are rather acting in a fit of competitiveness. I only need a month. At the most, I will take a full month. At the very least, I will only need half a month. Why don’t we compete?”

The Purple Flame Electric Beast said angrily: “Why not.”

“Ok, Senior Lone. How about we set the deadline as one month? If you do not breakthrough after a month, you shall serve me for free for three years and massage me without complaints. How about it?”

The Purple Flame Electric Beast laughed strangely: “If you are not scared of me squeezing your little body to pieces, let’s bet.”

However, Qin Wushuang said: “You two buffoons, don’t try to play around. Go and train seriously. Don’t push yourself with the time limit. I think after a month, we will know something about the Great Luo advancing into the Upper Ranking Empire. if one of you canmade into the Void Martial Stage, it would be an unexpected surprise.”

Bao Bao laughed: “Boss Wushuang, just watch me!”

Qin Wushuang said: “Go.”

Finally, these two buffoons no longer played around and went to train in isolation after finding a place.

Finding himself alone, Qin Wushuang also did not relax himself. Ever since he had absorbed the spiritual Qi of Zhao Heng and Dai Haitang, his dantian had been constantly active. Although he had not reach the peak of the Perfect Stage, vividly, there were some signs. As long as he continued to train at this speed, sooner or later he would breakthrough.

“Since Bao Bao and Lone are advancing by leaps and bounds, I cannot lag behind too much.” Qin Wushuang thought inwardly, “It seems that I must train even harder.”

With the goading, along by Bao Bao and the Purple Flame Electric Beast, Qin Wushuang did not dare to neglect his training.

His strong and powerful body was his one advantage regarding training. Regardless of how much spiritual Qi he absorbed, he would not worry about the spiritual Qi of devouring his body. He knew that all these benefits were due to those two spiritual light baptisms from the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays.

Ever since Qin Wushuang had entered the Third Circle, he was even more curious about this formation. The Fourth Circle of the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays was in the Xuan Yuan Mound.

“I wonder, who was the person that created the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation? What other hidden secrets does it hold?” Qin Wushuang could not help but feel more expectation.

“On that day, Miss Mu Rong once said that the Xuan Yuan Mound also had a Qin clan. Is there any connection between my Eastwood Qin ancestors with that Qin clan of the Xuan Yuan Mound?”

Qin Wushuang looked forward to it deeply. He still remembered that secret words from his ancestors his father had passed onto him. His father had told him that there was a mechanism in the family’s ancestral house

Only a person at the Perfect Stage could activate this mechanism!

The Perfect Stage was the strongest existence in the human countries. And this strongest existence had only acquired qualification to activate that mechanism. It seemed that more or less, that the Qin family would be connected with that so-called headquarter.

Even if they were not connected, the headquarters of the Qin family would for sure, be an awe-inspiring existence. Only, from what his father had told him, the headquarters of the Qin should have encountered some kind of crisis. Or else, why would they be desperate enough to accept manpower from the secular world?

With all these main threads linked in countless ways, Qin Wushuang stopped thinking about it. His priority was to upgrade himself to the Perfect Stage. Then, he would take a look at the Qin’s ancestral house to see what secrets were hidden behind that ancestral mechanism.

“Perfect Stage!” Unprecedentedly, Qin Wushuang’s goal was clear and an ambitious light flashed in his eyes, “That guy. Zuo Tianci, has returned to the Xuan Yuan Mound to enhance his strength. Soon, he will reach the Void Martial Stage. The Heavenly Luo Daoist sect will not interfere directly, yet they could improve Zuo Tianci’s strength and bestow him with some powerful weapon. At that time, this Zuo Tianci would be a deadly calamity. In for a penny, in for a pound, I must eliminate him completely!”

As evil grows from the side of bravery, Qin Wushuang thought: “Only, I must think thoroughly about making this move. I must make him die without cause and ensure the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect is unable to find any traces of evidence.”

…

Currently, Zuo Tianci was in one of the yards in the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. He was emitting a wave of joy from head to toe. Happiness and excitement also filled his eyes. It seemed that he had walked out from the complete defeat of the Nine Palace Faction.

“Stargaze Palace, Zhuo Buqun, Tan Zhongchi, and those two darn animals, just wait! The day when I leave the Xuan Yuan Mound, will be the day when I return in a storm of dust. Humph, ascend to an Upper Ranking Empire status? I will make all of you head on your way to the Yellow Spring in your beautiful dreams!” Inwardly, Zuo Tianci kept thinking many evil thoughts.

While he was thinking, a door to the room opened. An elderly man with grizzled hair and beard waved at Zuo Tianci: ” Tianci, come here.”

Zuo Tianci walked over with joy: “Uncle, how did it go?”

That elderly man said: “You are lucky. The Sixth Shakyamuni has already agreed to give you a sealed Void Martial spiritual beast. Tianci, if you still fail this time, then even I, your uncle, cannot help you anymore.”

Zuo Tianci immediately stated his position: “Uncle, this time, with my own sealed Void Martial spiritual beast, plus with me in the Void Martial Stage, even I cannot forgive myself if I cannot destroy the Stargaze Palace.”

This elderly man was Zuo Tianci’s uncle. He was an elder that held a relatively good position in the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect.

In the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect, the position of an Elder was only inferior to the Shakyamuni and the Daoist Priest.

There were four great Daoist Priests, nine Shakyamuni and more than forty to fifty Elders.

Thus, although Zuo Tianci’s uncle, Luo Yang, was an Elder, he did not wield absolute authority in the sect. in fact, this time, he had already went out of his way for Zuo Tianci.

The Heavenly Luo Daoist sect had almost violated the ten thousand year ancient contract because of the Nine Palace Faction. Once their enemy used this matter against them, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the sect’s future in the Xuan Yuan Mound.

Thus, the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect could no longer step in for the Nine Palace. Luo Yang, his uncle, had already used all his power to help Zuo Tianci.
