Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 562 Xu Chu Becomes a Saint

Although the great battle between the Seven Kings City and the Azure Sky Merchant Guild has only lasted for a little over two months, the losses on both sides are by no means small.

Both sides were filled with Saint Realm experts; even True Saints were not qualified. They were mostly Great Saints and Saint Kings.

The people on the Seven Kings City side are the direct descendants of the Seven Kings' Mansion, as well as their followers.

The Sky Dome Merchant Guild's side is filled with offerings of the characters "人" (human) and "地" (earth) from its various branches.

At first, they were all fighting with the intention of either you or me, so they were extremely ruthless, causing serious injury or even death.

Now that the battle has stopped, both sides have tallied their casualties.

On the Seven Kings City side, 23 Great Saints were killed and 56 were seriously injured, and 11 Saint Kings were killed and 30 were seriously injured.

The situation is even more serious for the Azure Sky Merchant Guild. After all, the reputation of the Seven Kings City is well-deserved, and the bandits are all brave and skilled in battle, while many of the guild's retainers are not good at fighting.

Don't be fooled by the small number of people who perished; these were all powerful figures at the Great Saint Realm and Saint King Realm.

Some relatively weak continents may only have a few dozen Great Saints, and they may not even be able to muster many Saint Kings.

Even the Seven Kings City and the Sky Chamber of Commerce had spent a lot of money to accumulate so many powerful individuals, so losing so many at once was naturally very painful.

As for those who were seriously injured, at the Saint Realm level, ordinary injuries were nothing to them.

Those who are considered seriously injured have basically had their foundation damaged. At best, they need to recuperate for hundreds of years to recover; at worst, it directly affects their subsequent cultivation and completely eliminates their chance to become an emperor.

Therefore, this great battle can be said to have caused heavy losses to both the Seven Kings City and the Sky Merchant Guild.

While it won't shake their position and foundation, it will definitely deplete some of the strength they've accumulated over the years.

In the years to come, both the Seven Kings City and the Azure Sky Merchant Guild will surely behave themselves and gradually recover their lost strength.

The great battle between the Seven Kings City and the Azure Sky Merchant Guild naturally also affected Qingzhou, where Xu Chu was located.

However, Xu Chu was always in seclusion and rarely appeared. Even if the Seven Kings City and the Sky Chamber of Commerce were to fight, or even if there were a world war and all the forces were in chaos, Xu Chu would still remain as steady as a rock in his secret base.

In fact, many powerful figures from major forces in Qingzhou knew that Wangyue Tower had a new brewer and wanted to make his acquaintance.

Unfortunately, Xu Chu rarely left his home, and even Manager Qiu of Wangyue Tower could only see him once a year when he needed to collect the spirit wine.

Xu Chu seemed to have disappeared into the vast Qingzhou; no one could notice him.

Of course, it just means that no one noticed Xu Chu, but that doesn't mean Xu Chu was living in seclusion and knew nothing.

Xu Chu would occasionally disguise himself in various ways and sit in some unknown taverns or teahouses in the city.

After learning about the war between the two major forces, Xu Chu secretly regretted why they didn't fight to the death.

If he knew that it was actually his cousin Xu Qiufeng who was behind it, he would definitely have to drink a few more cups.

In recent years, apart from spending a small portion of his time brewing spirit wine for Wangyue Tower, Xu Chu has devoted most of his time to researching the art of winemaking.

Although Xu Chu was already a master brewer, he still wanted to stand out in the subsequent Wangyuelou brewer assessment and successfully challenge the chief brewer of Wangyuelou.

Xu Chu felt that he needed to continue his studies and reach a higher level in winemaking.

For countless days and nights, Xu Chu was immersed in wine, studying all the relevant ancient books he could find, neglecting to eat or sleep.

He's always been like this; once he discovers something that interests him, he'll spend a lot of time studying it without stopping.

Normally, no cultivator would devote all their time to other things and forget about their cultivation.

After all, for a cultivator, cultivation level and strength are fundamental.

But Xu Chu is different; he is an immortal, possessing an endless lifespan.

Therefore, Xu Chu didn't need to spend all his time cultivating like other cultivators; he could just cultivate for a while when he remembered.

Even so, because of his frequent consumption of spiritual wine and the cultivation techniques he used, Xu Chu's cultivation level was slowly increasing every moment, even without further cultivation.

At this moment, Xu Chu was sitting in a tavern in a small alley in Wolong City.

Although the tavern was small and had limited quantities of spirit wine, it was quiet and pleasant. Customers were all silently sipping their wines, and no one was talking or exchanging words. Xu Chu quite liked the atmosphere here.

However, people kept coming up to Xu Chu and asking where he bought his spirit wine, forcing him to add some ingredients to the wine to mask its unique aroma.

Xu Chu had just picked up his wine glass when a sudden throbbing sensation ran through his body.

"Hmm? No, I'm about to break through."

Xu Chu downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, got up to pay the bill, and slowly left the tavern.

Xu Chu headed north, leaving Wolong City and flying for millions of miles, until he arrived at a secluded deep mountain forest.

In fact, Xu Chu had already reached the ninth level of the Integration Realm. He had stayed at this level for far too long. Not to mention any other genius of the Xu family, even any random member of the Hidden Dragon Guard would have broken through to become a saint hundreds of times over.

Xu Chu did not force him, allowing his cultivation to accumulate and grow little by little.

By now, his cultivation level had reached its limit, and he had no choice but to break through.

Xu Chu, the Steadfast King, had long been prepared for his breakthrough. The various formations here were quite complete, which could ensure that he could break through smoothly. After the breakthrough, he could also consolidate his realm here in peace without being disturbed by anyone.

Xu Chu had read hundreds of ancient books on the path to sainthood. In addition, with his solid foundation and abundant cultivation, breaking through was just a natural process for him.
