Peerless God Emperor

Deep within the Qin Mansion, in a simple pavilion, Qin Qianning sat down obediently beside Qin Xuan. A pair of crescent moon-like eyes flickered with a moving luster, as if they were sculpted from heaven's work, causing others to involuntarily pamper them.    

"Uncle Qin Xuan, Qian Ning really misses father and mother. Do you know where they went?" Qin Qianning slightly raised his head and looked at Qin Xuan with extreme seriousness, as if he was trying to find the answer on Qin Xuan's face.    

If he were to tell her about the past now, she would not be able to bear it. Even if Qin Fan was here, it was likely that he did not want her to know too much about it. Otherwise, he would not leave without saying goodbye.    

Qin Xuan smiled and rubbed Little Qian Ning's head, then said gently: "You are still too young now, your father and mother have gone to far away places, when you have grown up, uncle will bring you to find them, okay?"    

"But, uncle, aren't you very powerful? Even more powerful than Big Grandpa and the others. Can't you bring me to them right now?" Little Qian Ning asked again, her eyes filled with sincerity.    

Seeing Little Qian Ning wanting to see her parents again, Qin Xuan felt his heart aching. At such a young age, for her to have to endure the pain of being separated from her parents, it was truly fate that played tricks on her. If he were to turn things around and not return to Qin Mansion, would there be a change?    

He suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart. Was everything he had done to Qin Fan wrong, and he did not even dare to imagine, if he waited until Qian Ning grew up and found out about everything that had happened, would he feel hatred for him, and take revenge for his parents?    

"Xuan Er." A loud voice rang out.    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed, he saw Qin Lei walking over from afar with large strides. His face was kind, his tall body slightly squatted down, and he said amiably to little QianNing: "QianNing, come to big grandfather's side."    

She quickly rushed into Qin Lei's embrace. Although she was only two years old, but her cultivation had already reached the fifth level of the Refinement Realm, which was comparable to a ten year old child's strength. As a result, when she ran, she seemed exceptionally light, like the wind.    

Qin Xuan also stood up and said with a smile: "Father."    

"Yes." Qin Lei slightly nodded, as if he had seen through Qin Xuan's thoughts, and said. "You don't have to blame yourself too much for what happened that year.    

"However, I could have dealt with the matter in another way, but I didn't do that. If it wasn't for that, Brother Fan wouldn't have suffered such a blow and would have taken the wrong path." Towards Qin Fan, he had always held a guilty conscience. The oppression he had made against him back then, seemed to be a little too cruel.    

When Qin Lei heard this, his expression turned solemn, he stared at Qin Xuan, and spoke in a solemn voice: "Xuan Er, you shouldn't think that way. Humans have to learn to grow, and will make many mistakes in their lifetime, all of their previous actions, all had to be punished, even without you, there will be others who will do it, do you understand?"    

Qin Xuan's voice was like a clap of thunder that exploded in Qin Xuan's mind, his mind releasing a buzzing sound, as though a window had been opened, and he was suddenly enlightened.    

A radiant light flashed in his eyes, "Many thanks to father for his guidance. I understand, all the hardships and setbacks are merely stepping stones in life. Only by carrying them over can you grow.    

"It's good that you understand. As for QianNing, even if she finds out the truth, she wouldn't vent her anger on you. She's a very sensible and good child." Qin Lei caressed it gently. Patting Little Qian Ning's head, she was peacefully falling asleep in Qin Lei's arms, extremely peaceful.    

Qin Xuan lightly nodded his head, hoping that it was really like his father had said. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "Does father know the reason why Brother Fan left?"    

Qin Lei sighed, went silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Not long after you left, he left the Qin Mansion, and returned with Little Qian Ning a year later. At that time, he seemed to have become a different person, his entire body was filled with hostility.    

Qin Xuan's heart trembled, thinking back to the power Qin Fan had shown before when he cultivated, and also according to his father's description, the possibility of Qin Fan falling into the Devil Dao was extremely high!    

"After that, many cruel murders occurred in the Tianyu Country. Many villages suffered disaster, and the entire village was slaughtered. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and the methods used by the perpetrators were extremely evil. They were like demons." Qin Lei suddenly said.    

Qin Xuan's expression suddenly shook, he could not believe what he had heard. Killing innocent people was the most despicable thing in the world of martial arts, to powerful cultivators, killing ordinary people was nothing but a flick of a finger, it was impossible to resist, could it be that all of this was done by Fan Xian?    

"I don't know if he is the reason, but he has never appeared. He might be hiding in the mountains, or he might have already left the Tianyu Country." Qin Lei sighed.    

"I see." Qin Xuan nodded his head. He could not tell this to Little Qian Ning, because the moment she found out that her father was a violent and evil person, the consequences would be unimaginable.    

Qin Lei looked at the sleeping Little Qian Ning and suddenly asked, "Little Qian Ning is extremely talented. The first origin soul came from the fifth floor like you, but I still don't know what kind of origin soul it is.    

"I'll try." Qin Xuan's mind stirred, and a wisp of soul power appeared, enveloping Little Qian Ning and attempting to sense her origin soul attribute. However, just as he was about to sense it, a strange energy seemed to flow in his body, isolating his soul, preventing him from getting any closer.    

Qin Xuan shook his head and said rather helplessly: "I can't sense it. Her physique is a bit special, and there is a wave of energy protecting her, so I can't get close."    

"There's actually such a thing?" Qin Lei's heart trembled, it was obvious that he was surprised, he did not expect Qin Xuan to be unable to sense Little Qian Ning's origin soul, it seemed like this girl was not simple.    

After saying that, Qin Lei carefully looked at Qin Xuan, his face revealing a strange expression, and said curiously: "I still haven't asked you what realm you are in yet. You should have already stepped into the Yuanfu Stage, right? "    

"I have indeed stepped into the Natal Palace. Now, I have Seventh Level of Yuanfu Stage." Qin Xuan said truthfully, he did not hide anything.    

"Seventh level!" Qin Lei's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at Qin Xuan with a dumbstruck expression. Turbulent waves stirred in his heart; he was unable to remain calm. Feng, it's only been two years, but he's already at the seventh level of the Natal Opening Realm. How does he cultivate?    

Looking at the shocked expression on Qin Lei's face, Qin Xuan smiled and said: "There is a lot of competition in the outside world, and there are even more opportunities. I have been training and training, so my cultivation has increased a lot faster than in the Tianyu Country."    

"It's good to be young. Sometimes, I really envy you youngsters. You guys can do whatever you want and explore the martial way. Unlike me, you guys are destined to only be in Tianyu Country your whole life." Qin Lei let out a light sigh, and his tone revealed a little desolation.    

Indeed, time flew by, time dragged on, time dragged on. Now, Qin Lei was tied down too much, not only did he have a large family to manage, there were also other small matters to attend to, he could no longer wholeheartedly train in martial arts.    

Hearing the loneliness in Qin Lei's tone, Qin Xuan softly consoled him, "Father, there is no need to be sad. Everything is up to me.    

"Fine, fine. Father and mother will be satisfied with your kind intentions!" His son had finally grown up. He felt very proud that he had grown up to the point where he could take care of himself and even use his own strength to protect his parents.    

...    

Three days later, when the first ray of sunlight shone down from the sky, Qin Xuan left the Qin Mansion very early.    

Only a few people knew about Qin Xuan's departure, and this was Qin Xuan's own intention. He did not wish to disrupt the peaceful life in the Qin Mansion because of him, so if he had a choice, he hoped that the people of the Qin Mansion would live a peaceful and quiet life, and not be disturbed by the outside world.    

After leaving the Qin Mansion, the first place Qin Xuan went to was impressively the Splinter Soul Mountain, the place that he had left many beautiful memories.    

The current Splinter Soul Mountain did not seem to have changed much from before. She was still as lofty and precipitous as before.    

With Qin Xuan's current strength, passing through the outer regions would be effortless, and he arrived at the Central Region in the blink of an eye. Here, he had once entered the Sky Flame Fire Pool, and fought with the Heaven's Pride of the other four nations to display his strength.    

Seeing the extremely familiar scene in front of him, Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.    

It had only been a few years, but he could feel a tremendous change occurring. It was as if after experiencing so many things, not only did his cultivation change, but even his state of mind had changed.    

"I wonder how is Elder Chen, Brother Luo and the rest are doing." Qin Xuan muttered in his heart, he took a step forward and blended into the air, traversing an endless distance. In just a few breaths of time, he had reached the depths of Splinter Soul Mountain.    

"Hmm? Who trespassed the forbidden area! "    

In the depths of Splinter Soul Mountain, in a spacious cave, an incomparably sturdy middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.    

"What, it's been a while since we last met and Brother Luo has already forgotten about me?" A hearty laugh was transmitted from afar to the cave.    

The expression on the middle-aged man's face faltered when he heard this. This voice sounded so familiar, but soon after, a young figure appeared in his mind. An incomparably happy expression appeared on his face. It's him! He's back!    

The middle-aged man stood up excitedly, his gaze looking at the figure that had walked over, and laughed: "Haha, Brother Qin, finally willing to come see me!"
