Open up and break into another world

"Xu Yin?"

"The Eternal Palace's Holy Maiden?"

"A martial arts tournament for suitors?"

… …

Looking at the floating announcement in the high sky, Xu Ming was somewhat surprised, but even more so, displeased.

“Xu Yin herself would definitely not proactively issue such a recruitment! Then… it must have been issued by the Eternal Palace's higher-ups!” Xu Ming frowned, thinking to himself, “But, why would the Eternal Palace issue such a recruitment? Could it be… that they want to use the Holy Maiden to attract suitors, so as to engage in marriage alliances with other forces?”

The only thing Xu Ming could think of was a marriage alliance.

Even if the Eternal Palace is the number one power in the True Universe, it has no right to recruit suitors for Xu Yin!

“It seems that, no matter what, I have to go to the Eternal Palace to take a look! If this martial arts tournament for suitors is Xu Yin's own wish, then that's fine; but if it's the Eternal Palace forcing her…” Xu Ming's eyes gradually turned cold, “Hmph! Even if you are the number one power in the True Universe, I will turn you upside down!”

However, before heading to the Eternal Palace, Xu Ming still needed to improve his strength!

And he urgently needed to improve his strength!

After all, once Xu Ming goes to the Eternal Palace, he might expose his identity; in that case, next, Xu Ming would have to face existences at the Great Venerate level!

These were all things that Xu Ming needed to prepare for!

“Fortunately, the recruitment isn't happening immediately!” Xu Ming thought to himself, “There's still a considerable amount of time for me to improve my strength!”

Strength!

Strength!

Xu Ming urgently needed to improve his strength!

However, there was no use in being anxious about things like strength! Moreover, after arriving in the True Universe, many of Xu Ming's cheat-like abilities could no longer be used, so he had no choice but to calm down and cultivate with a focused mind.

… …

Time flowed like a river.

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed.

“It's been more than twenty thousand years since my cultivation broke through to the peak of the Upper-Level Supreme, and there's still no improvement!” Xu Ming sighed.

But that was normal!

If Xu Ming were to break through again, it would be from an ordinary Upper-Level Supreme to a 'Human Supreme'! This shackle was not so easy to break through!

Moreover, at Xu Ming's level, twenty thousand years was really just the blink of an eye! Generally, wanting to break through from an ordinary Upper-Level Supreme to a Human Supreme, not to mention twenty thousand years, even two trillion epochs would be far from enough!

“No rush!”

Xu Ming wasn't anxious either.

After all, he had only been in the True Universe for a very short time.

Xu Ming's own cultivation hadn't improved much, but the rookies under his command had all improved quite a bit in these twenty thousand years. The weakest were already at the fourth rank of Half-Supreme; the strongest had even reached the sixth rank of Half-Supreme!

These rookies naturally knew that their cultivation improvements were inseparable from Xu Ming's help—after all, if Xu Ming hadn't helped them rob so many cultivation resources, their cultivation improvements would never have been so fast!

Xu Ming's hundred rookies were equivalent to enjoying the cultivation resources of ten thousand rookies! How could their cultivation improvements not be fast?

As for the rookies under the other centurions, in these twenty thousand years, their strength had hardly improved at all. Without a supply of resources, it was impossible to cultivate anything significant in just over twenty thousand years.

Suddenly—

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

Urgent and tense bell sounds directly rang throughout the entire Azure Sea Army.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming was slightly stunned, “This is… the assembly bell!”

Immediately afterward, a dignified voice directly resounded!

“The entire Azure Sea Army assembles, prepare to set out!!”

Instantly, the entire Azure Sea Army was in motion.

From the generals to every single soldier, they all assembled.

Xu Ming and the rookies under his command were naturally no exception.

“What's going on? Suddenly the entire army is assembling, preparing to set out?” Xu Ming was also somewhat puzzled.

Immediately, Xu Ming instructed the rookies under his command, saying: “When the time comes, you all stay close to me and don't run around!”

Soon, the Azure Sea Army had completed its assembly.

The towering figure of the Azure Sea City Lord appeared in the high sky: “Everyone, follow me!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The experts of Azure Sea City, the commanders and generals of the Azure Sea Army, all responded in succession, and then closely followed behind the City Lord.

The ten thousand-man commanders of the Azure Sea Army closely followed their respective generals. The centurions followed behind the ten thousand-man commanders.

The million-strong army, with great momentum, marched out.

Xu Ming's divine sense quietly enveloped the entire Azure Sea City: “Almost all of Azure Sea City's experts have come out in full force! There are hardly any experts left behind!”

Xu Ming secretly marveled: “It doesn't seem like they're going to attack any power, but rather like they've made some great discovery!”

As for what great discovery it was, the Azure Sea City Lord didn't tell anyone, and Xu Ming couldn't pry into it for the time being.

However…

Xu Ming didn't actually have much interest in the so-called great discovery. After all, what might be a great discovery to the Azure Sea City Lord might not be anything to Xu Ming—Xu Ming and the Azure Sea City Lord were at completely different levels.

Rumble…

Under the leadership of the Azure Sea City Lord, the million-strong army, with great momentum, crushed through space-time, marched out of Azure Sea City, and headed south. Before long, they arrived at a space-time shrouded in mist.

“This is…?” Xu Ming's divine sense quietly extended out, probing into the depths of the mist.

The mist obscured space-time, blocking the Azure Sea City Lord and other experts from probing, but it couldn't stop Xu Ming's divine sense.

“It seems to be the lair of some expert!” Xu Ming quickly made a judgment, “Originally hidden in the depths of space-time, it now seems to have been exposed due to the destruction of the formation!”

Xu Ming sensed the mysteries of the formation within the mist: “If I'm not mistaken, it should be the lair of some Earth Supreme! And that Earth Supreme may have already fallen long ago!”

Xu Ming put down his apprehension—he himself was an Earth Supreme-level expert! And among Earth Supremes, he should be a strong existence; why would he be afraid of an Earth Supreme who had already fallen?

Sure enough, the Azure Sea City Lord said: “This place should be the residence of the 'Flawed Earth Supreme' who fell countless years ago! The residence of the Flawed Earth Supreme has never been found, and now it has finally appeared in the world! This is the opportunity for our Azure Sea City!”

The Azure Sea City Lord's eyes were fanatical—after all, this was the residence of an Earth Supreme! There might be the treasures of an Earth Supreme inside!

“However…” the Azure Sea City Lord added, “After all, Earth Supremes are Earth Supremes! Even if they have fallen for countless years, the formations left behind in this residence are still powerful! I have tried many times, but I still haven't been able to find the entrance to the residence!”

It was precisely because he couldn't find it that the Azure Sea City Lord had mobilized the entire Azure Sea Army, preparing to enter the mist and conduct a carpet search.

“Whoever can help me find the entrance to the residence, I promise him the position of Deputy City Lord, as well as treasures to match!” the Azure Sea City Lord said loudly, “As for the others, as long as they enter the mist to search, they will all be heavily rewarded!”
