The mysterious Profound Void Immortal Venerable single-handedly turned the tide of the war, rendering enemy weapons useless and inspiring Great Yan Kingdom's forces to a triumphant counteroffensive. The Ai Race and other invading nations suffered devastating losses and retreated, leading to peace negotiations and nationwide celebrations.

Upon hearing what the Ninth Young Master Huang said, the County Magistrate of Qingyuan City nodded repeatedly and said:

"What Young Master Huang has said is absolutely right, absolutely right! This time, our Great Yan Kingdom’s crisis was unexpectedly resolved directly by that incredibly powerful Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable. It is truly surprising and delightful! From now on, with that incredibly powerful Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable protecting us, our Great Yan Kingdom is bound to prosper for millennia to come!

Furthermore, throughout the entire Great Yan Kingdom, the reputation of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable is known by everyone, but very few can converse with him!

Aside from that Immortal Venerable Liang of the Blood Cloud Sect, it is estimated that only the Ninth Young Master Huang can, with the difference being that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable personally named the Ninth Young Master Huang to handle matters for him. Such an honor, amidst billions in Great Yan Kingdom, only Young Master Huang has earned! Subordinate hereby congratulates Young Master Huang!"

Back then, why Lin Xuankong assigned Young Master Huang to handle matters was, of course, crystal clear to this County Magistrate of Qingyuan City! Everyone present being sharp-witted of course understood that just having an opportunity to contact that famed Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable of the entire continent, to handle affairs for him, would be an immense opportunity, even if Ninth Young Master once invited Daoist He Wu who had offended Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable. However, as long as Young Master Huang carries out the assignments of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable well, how wouldn’t it be an opportunity to get closer to him!

Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang’s face immediately showed a look of yearning, being an important figure of the Capital City Huang Family, naturally, he knew that the true controllers of the entire Great Yan Kingdom weren’t the Huang Family, Feng Family, Ma Family, or even the most deeply rooted Sima Clan; instead, they were the Hidden Cultivation Sects behind Great Yan Kingdom! In the eyes of Blood Cloud Sect and other Hidden Cultivation Sects, even a thousand-year-old clan like the Sima Clan was merely a servant and pawn to serve them! Yet this Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, who emerged out of nowhere, seemed more powerful than the Immortal Venerables within the Hidden Cultivation Sects behind Great Yan Kingdom....

After all, Great Yan Kingdom suffered from the joint attack of the Seven Kingdoms, the Hidden Cultivation Sects did exert effort repeatedly but never could resolve the crisis of Great Yan Kingdom! Yet Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable appeared alone, acted alone, and directly reversed the situation, making the six kingdoms come to pay tribute and the Ai Race retreat, such immortal means and such momentum were simply unprecedented, never had such a peerless figure ever appeared in the thousands of years of Great Yan Kingdom’s history!

Previously, Young Master Huang, following the decree of ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’, spent countless wealth to attend to all the poor in Qingyuan City.... Even if he didn’t say it out loud, there was a bit of heartache, as that was countless wealth and resources! Yet with ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s repeated sweeping of battlefields, repeatedly slaughtering powerful Immortal Venerables of other countries, Young Master Huang had no more doubt, wholeheartedly devoted himself to carrying out assignments given by Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable!

Not only Young Master Huang, just yesterday, the patriarch of the Huang Family, known for his word being absolute and overwhelming authority, contacted Young Master Huang specifically, telling him not to worry about financial matters, only needing to accomplish the responsibilities provided by ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’ brilliantly! Moreover, the patriarch of the Huang Family already declared to Young Master Huang explicitly that as long as he could establish some connection with Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, the future patriarch position of the Huang Family might be handed over to Young Master Huang!

Even the patriarch of the Huang Family being of such demeanor, indeed shows how immense an impact Lin Xuankong’s actions these past few days have caused!

At this moment, after the County Magistrate of Qingyuan City praised, other members of the Qingyuan City training regimen, the Deputy County Magistrate, including the Inspection Bureau Chief Miao Yunhu, were all coming forward with toasts to congratulate Ninth Young Master Huang. Among them, the Inspection Bureau Chief Miao Yunhu, although disliked flattering, even he couldn’t deny, in his heart, he deeply envied Young Master Huang who could handle affairs for Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, after all, who doesn’t envy the immortals in this world?

Among the crowd, Ding Ye also raised a glass to Ninth Young Master Huang with everyone, then his gaze fell outside the window,

Outside the window, many citizens were currently parading in teams, celebrating the victory at Chaokou Pass! Such an event was naturally arranged by order of the County Magistrate of Qingyuan City!

Moreover, the core of the celebration activities in recent days isn’t merely celebrating the victory at Chaokou Pass, nor just celebrating that Qingyuan City was spared from the invasion of the Ai Race armies! The core of the celebration is to extoll the miraculous deeds of ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’. For this, the County Magistrate of Qingyuan City specially invited a painter skilled in oil painting to create several giant portraits!

The paintings naturally depicted scenes of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable in which a single wave of his hand slaughtered the Ai Race demon Dongtan Twelve, as well as his miraculous deeds of destroying dozens of tanks and armored vehicles with a single wave of his hand!

When the numerous citizens paraded and celebrated, they continuously cheered the name of ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’! Though the citizens were organized by the County Magistrate’s men, the smiles on their faces were quite genuine because, among the parading citizens, many were once destitute, lacking clothes and food, and were given a chance to survive due to ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s order to Young Master Huang. How could they not sincerely thank ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable?’

In Qingyuan City, it is said that there are quite a few devout citizens who have already ’invited’ portraits of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable into their homes, worshipping day and night devoutly kneeling before them!

Watching these scenes, Ding Ye’s eyes revealed a trace of longing, he thought silently to himself: I wonder when, that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, who has blessed countless citizens of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, will return to Qingyuan City!

Meanwhile,

in places Lin Xuankong had once visited, like the Ancient Liang’an City, Chongjiang City, Jeezhou City, and several other large cities,

likewise, numerous citizens were parading and celebrating everywhere. These celebrations were organized by various official levels of the Great Yan Kingdom as well as some self-organized by citizens, but without exception, every parade and celebration team would hoist portraits of Lin Xuankong’s black-clothed, ghost-faced appearance, alongside those of him slaying demons and destroying tanks, planes, and cannons!

The dark clouds looming over the hearts of billions of citizens and soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, due to the joint attack by the Seven Kingdoms, also dissipated just like that!

...

At this moment, while the countless citizens offer tribute and hail the ’Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’,

he, however, is sitting inside a mountain cave on a perilous peak of the Liang Mountain Range in Great Yan Kingdom,

Regarding Great Yan Kingdom’s celebrations everywhere, Lin Xuankong is naturally also aware.

Sitting at the cave entrance, after running the Blood Spirit Technique for a while, Lin Xuankong muttered something, and a moment later, he raised his right hand, above his right palm, suddenly appeared a hundred and eight seemingly real and illusory runes.

Looking at the hundred and eight seemingly real and illusory runes above his palm, Lin Xuankong contemplated secretly:

In these recent days, after slaying the so-called Immortal Venerables of the Ai Race and other Six Kingdoms, he came to the Liang Mountain Range, which has the largest and most original forests in Great Yan Kingdom, intending to hunt so as to absorb enough spirit blood and life force, hoping to refine the Blood Spirit Technique further and to elevate my Realm one step further!

Alas, to further elevate my Realm with the Blood Spirit Technique, the number of lives needed for hunting is becoming excessively twisted; in these two days, I have hunted hundreds of thousands of lives, just to edge a bit closer to the Mid-grade of the fourth Transcendence layer! To truly consolidate my Realm at the Mid-grade of the fourth Transcendence layer, it might take slaughtering thousands more lives, and to rely on the Blood Spirit Technique to push my Realm to the Late Stage of the fourth Transcendence layer, who knows how many lives I’d have to hunt – maybe several million or tens of millions of large and medium-sized beings like cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, wolves, tigers, and leopards?

Continuing like this, hoping to push my Realm to the Perfection of the fourth Transcendence layer using the Blood Spirit Technique might entail slaughtering every living being across the entire Liang Mountain Range, spanning several thousand miles around me, and even then, it might not be accomplished!
