Peerless God Emperor

At this time, on the peak of the cliff, a white-clothed figure floated down from the sky. The white robe was spotlessly clean, and its eyes were like stars in the night as they flickered with a resplendent brilliance.    

"You're back." An ancient voice rang out from the void.    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed, he gazed towards a direction in the air, only to see a black-robed elder slowly walking out from the void, bent at the waist, incomparably old, as though he had reached the end of his life, leaving behind a candle in the wind. If not for the fact that his white hair was half hidden and had eyes that were filled with life, no one would have thought that the old man was a powerful Yuan King.    

This black-robed elder was actually the Elder Chen that was originally by Qin Xuan's side.    

"Elder Chen …" The expression in Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly changed. He stared at the hunchbacked figure in the distance with incomparable shock in his heart.    

Just how much time had passed? Why did the Elder Chen look much older than before, as if he had lost a lot of Profound Qi?    

Elder Chen looked at Qin Xuan, his muddy eyes revealing a hint of gratification. His dry lips moved slightly, and said. "Good boy, as expected, you did not disappoint this old man's expectations of you!"    

Qin Xuan frowned, he took a step forward, and directly jumped to Elder Chen's side. Looking at Elder Chen's face up close, his heart trembled, he did not dare believe what he had just seen, and could only feel an unspeakable pain in his heart.    

However, the Elder Chen did not seem to mind, his face revealed a smile, and laughed: "What, don't you remember what I look like?"    

"Elder Chen, what happened?" Qin Xuan's expression became solemn, and asked with a serious tone, if Elder Chen became like this, then something must have happened.    

"Nothing, this is very normal. I have already cultivated for a long time and have almost reached the end." The Elder Chen said casually, and was extremely optimistic, but Qin Xuan's eyebrows did not relax at all. No, no, the Elder Chen must be hiding something from him!    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, he looked straight into Elder Chen's eyes and asked word by word: "Elder Chen, tell me what exactly happened?"    

Seeing the determination in Qin Xuan's eyes, Elder Chen sighed in his heart. He knew Qin Xuan's character, if he did not tell the truth, he would never let this matter rest.    

After being silent for a moment, the Elder Chen slowly spoke: "Back then when Qing elder was around, the other demon mountains were extremely well-behaved, and did not dare to easily provoke my Splinter Soul Mountain. However, I do not know where they found out that Qing elder had left, but in these two years, many other people from the demon mountains have come over to provoke me, and the injuries on my body were left behind during a battle."    

Boom!    

Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with incomparable rage. He did not expect that in the past two years, the Splinter Soul Mountain had experienced so many things.    

It seemed that the existence of the Qing elder had posed a huge threat to the other Demon Mountains, as it had always oppressed them, causing resentment to sprout in their hearts. Thus, when the Qing elder left, they started to retaliate, completely disregarding the Splinter Soul Mountain in their eyes.    

Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a pondering look. He suddenly thought of something and immediately asked Elder Chen, "Elder Chen, does Splinter Soul Mountain have Purple Yuan Poria Grass and Scarlet Flame Dragon Essence Fruit?"    

Elder Chen's expression froze as he instantly thought of something. His originally calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of fluctuation as he unsteadily opened his mouth and said. "Are you saying …"    

Qin Xuan solemnly nodded his head, he was training in the ancient cave s and divine mountain s, although the current soul power s were not as strong as the Elemental King, they were not too far off. If he gave it his all, he might be able to create a fourth stage Pill.    

"How confident are you?" Elder Chen asked with shining eyes.    

"40%." Qin Xuan spoke honestly, and he already felt that this was the best result, since he had not refined a Pill for a period of time, and whether or not he succeeded would depend on his condition.    

Hearing that Qin Xuan said that he was only forty percent confident, the expression in Elder Chen's eyes dimmed by a bit. He waved his hand and said: "It's better to leave it for the younger generation.    

"How can senior think like that?" Qin Xuan's expression changed, and immediately consoled him, "If not for you, Splinter Soul Mountain would have lost a powerful Protector, and that would have caused a huge loss. Senior should understand, it is definitely not something a mere spirit medicine can make up for."    

Hearing that, Elder Chen's expression could not help but freeze, he did not know what to say, and then continued: "After using the Spirit medicine, it will grow, but humans only have one life, which is lighter, does Elder Chen not understand?"    

Seeing Qin Xuan insist, the Elder Chen finally nodded his head and said: "Alright then, let this old man be selfish for a bit, whether or not he succeeds will be up to the will of heaven."    

After Qin Xuan heard this, his face broke into a smile, and cupped his fists: "Senior, please give me pointers on where I can find these two spirit medicines."    

"Over there." Elder Chen slowly turned around and stretched out his withered hand. In an instant, his fingertip shot out two rays of bright light in two different directions.    

's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he pushed the Lingxu Taishang Step to its limits. He released the Stage of Wind and the Concept of Space at the same time, and his body gradually split into two figures, moving as fast as lightning, chasing the two beams of light.    

When Elder Chen saw this scene, a hint of astonishment flashed past his eyes. He was originally best at using spatial power, so he was naturally able to see the profoundness of Qin Xuan's movement technique with a single glance. Qin Xuan had already used this movement technique to the fullest extent, and it was no longer limited to just short distance shuttling.    

If that was the case, to the enemy, it was definitely a nightmare.    

If one were to fight two people at the same time, and these two people didn't exist at the same time, with no traces to be found, how would one fight?    

The Lingxu Taishang Step was a movement skill bestowed to Qin Xuan by the Fen Old Master. Even though it was only an unranked Elemental Skill in the eyes of the Fen Old Master, Qin Xuan believed that the Elemental Skill that the Fen Old Master had collected would definitely not be ordinary.    

As expected, after continuously fumbling around, Qin Xuan finally understood the true meaning of Lingxu Taishang Step. A truly profound movement technique actually did not have a movement technique, and could be found by following one's heart without any pattern. It was wantonly roaming the world, and was naturally difficult to see through.    

's body gradually became more solid, and in the time it took to breathe, he returned to Elder Chen's side, holding the Purple Yuan Poria Grass and the Scarlet Flame Dragon Essence Fruit in his hands.    

Elder Chen stared deeply at Qin Xuan, his eyes revealed a look of admiration that was hard to conceal. A few seconds later, he opened his mouth and said: "When I first saw you, I knew that you must be extraordinary and that your future accomplishments would not be inferior to mine. However, I never expected that this day would come so quickly.    

Qin Xuan was stunned, he never thought that the Elder Chen would actually say such words, which surprised him. The reason why his comprehension of space had improved so greatly, was mainly because of the divine mountain.    

The cultivation grounds of an Heavenly Sovereign were above all else, gathering Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth s. Every blade of grass and tree had their own intelligence, if one could cultivate inside it for a day, it would be beneficial to their comprehension. Of course, this sort of opportunity could only be found by chance but not sought after, everything was already destined to happen.    

"I'll start after a little preparation." Qin Xuan said to the Elder Chen, his figure shooting down, he sat on the summit of the Cloud Cliff with his eyes closed, a cold breeze blew past, blowing his pitch black hair, swaying in the wind, revealing his exceptional charm.    

The Elder Chen did not disturb Qin Xuan. He knew that Qin Xuan was adjusting his condition, so he must not disturb him at this time. Waving his hand, he conjured a wave of ethereal energy that seemed to confine the surrounding space.    

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuan opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling brilliance. Both of his hands gently pushed forward, and the air in front of him immediately began to fluctuate intensely.    

"Purple Thunder Tripod." Qin Xuan's mind stirred, the spatial ring in his hand suddenly lit up with a purple light, and transformed into a ten feet long Treasure Tripod that released a strong wave of spirit energy.    

Without the slightest pause, Qin Xuan waved both his hands, and a strand of invisible Dan Yuan Qi appeared in the air. In an instant, the surrounding space temperature rose to a frightening degree, even the air seemed to be scorched, as sizzling sounds were emitted.    

At the same time, Qin Xuan swept out his soul power, causing the Purple Yuan Poria Grass and the Scarlet Flame Dragon's essence fruit to float in the air. Under his soul control, the skin on the Scarlet Flame Dragon's essence fruit was peeled off bit by bit, revealing its innermost layer. The soft part was the Crimson Flame Dragon Essence.    

The conditions for the Scarlet Flame Dragon's refined fruit to be born were extremely harsh. It could only be formed when a fire attribute dragon Demonic Beast fell from the thunder fire. This meant that the formation of a Scarlet Flame Dragon's refined fruit would inevitably result in the death of a dragon Demonic Beast.    

In an instant, his Dan Yuan Innate Qi was divided into tens of thousands of strands, with different temperatures. This required extremely strong soul power s to split out tens of thousands of thin soul threads, and to control the temperature of each strand of Dan Yuan Innate Qi, the difficulty could be imagined. Because of this, in order to refine a high level Pill, one must have a matching soul power.    

Under the burning of the Dan Yuan Innate Qi, the Purple Yuan Poria Grass gradually melted and turned into a ball of purple liquid, floating in the air. Strands of unique fragrance floated out and filled the air, faintly condensed into a substance.    

Yes." Qin Xuan said. With a wave of his hand, a giant invisible hand appeared in the air. Space condensed, forming a ball of purple droplets. All of the spirit energy was gathered, not a single drop was left out.    

Following that, Qin Xuan looked at the Purple Thunder Tripod, with a thought, the purple liquid transformed into a ray of light and shot into the Pill Tripod, following that, the Crimson Flame Dragon Essence was also placed into the Pill Tripod.    

The next step was the final step of concocting pills, the condensing of pills.    

Time trickled by, Qin Xuan's expression had also changed from the initial indifferent look to become serious, perspiration unceasingly appeared on his forehead. Evidently, using the soul power at such a high intensity for a long time had made him somewhat tired.
