Peerless God Emperor

This was related to Emperor Zi's privacy, and could be because he was sad. If Emperor Zi did not take the initiative to ask, he would not ask, and it would be the same as Emperor Zi not asking him about his past.    

"This place is called the Hibiscus Courtyard. I grew up in this place since I was young, and cultivated all the way to Emperor's Peak Stage. Some things happened in the end and I was forced to leave this place.    

Emperor Zi slowly spoke out, causing Qin Xuan, Xi Yue and Chu Yun's eyes to reveal a trace of surprise. Indeed, it was just as they had guessed, Emperor Zi was forced to leave.    

Something must have happened.    

"Will returning to the Garden of Zhou attract some people's attention?" Qin Xuan thought of something and asked Emperor Zi.    

Emperor Zi understood what Qin Xuan meant, and waved his hand: "What should come will come sooner or later, there's no need to care about that, let's go in together."    

With that, Emperor Zi walked forward.    

Looking at Emperor Zi's figure, Qin Xuan faintly realized something. This time Emperor Zi had come to the First Emperor Island not only for the battles of trials, but also to settle some of the matters from back then.    

Soon after, Qin Xuan and the other two entered the Hibiscus Courtyard.    

The Hibiscus Courtyard was huge, with more than a dozen courtyards. However, almost every area was covered in weeds. Ancient trees had withered and fallen leaves covered the ground, making people unable to enjoy the scenery.    

However, cultivators of the Martial Dao possessed abilities that were unimaginable to ordinary people. The stronger one cultivated, the more terrifying their abilities would be.    

"You guys wait a moment, I'll clean up." Emperor Zi turned his head and said to the three of them. Qin Xuan stared blankly.    

Emperor Zi's figure soared into the sky, and he actually sat cross-legged in mid air. Following that, a purple zither suddenly appeared on his knees, emitting a faint purple glow.    

"Nine Heavens Zither!" Xi Yue couldn't help but exclaim when she saw that purple colored zither. Her beautiful eyes showed an expression of incomparable shock.    

She didn't even know about this.    

"Is that the Nine-Beam Zither?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a light aura as he stared at the purple zither. Xi Yue had mentioned to her before, that the Nine Heavens Ensemble was the two most precious zither in all of the zithers that Emperor Zi owned.    

He had obtained the Ring-Petal Zither, and the Nine-Xiao Zither was currently on Emperor Zi's body.    

In other words, both the Ninth Heaven and the Rings of the Rings had been brought out.    

"Master, could it be that he wants to play?" Xi Yue's heart thumped, her beautiful face revealed an extremely excited expression. She had stayed in Ziyun House for many years, and only saw her master listening to the zither, but had never heard her master's zither music.    

Today, did you want to hear it?    

"Dang." A sound of metal colliding rang out, as though an incomparably terrifying pressure was sweeping across the sky above the Hibiscus Courtyard, enveloping the Endless Area.    

"What is he doing?" Qin Xuan's eyes congealed as he looked at Emperor Zi's figure.    

He only saw Emperor Zi immersing himself in a state, lowering his head to stroke the zither, following that, streams of purple lightning burst out from the air, meeting each other's eyes, as though they had condensed a terrifying lightning storm. The scene was extremely spectacular, causing Qin Xuan and the other two to be dazzled.    

The sound of zither's speed suddenly increased, and the Power of the Great Way merged into the air, as though it was everywhere. A fierce wind suddenly blew inside the Hibiscus Courtyard, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to be carried into the air, dancing wildly in the air, creating an extremely strange scene.    

Emperor Zi's fingers continuously trembled as a destructive force blossomed. Following which, bolts of lightning that were filled with an intense aura of annihilation streaked across the sky. The speed of the lightning was so fast that the naked eye could not catch it.    

The sound of an intense explosion rang out and the space continued to collapse and reform. After a while, the zither music gradually died down and the space returned to its normal calm. However, the flying leaves that fell from the sky were nowhere to be seen.    

"You can do this?" Qin Xuan was speechless. With the sound of zither sweeping the floor, Emperor Zi was able to think of one.    

"Together?" Emperor Zi looked down at Qin Xuan, a smile in his eyes.    

Qin Xuan laughed openly: "Alright!"    

As he said that, he also flew up into the sky and extended his hand out, revealing the guqin in his hand. He held the guqin in his left hand and strummed the zither with his right hand, causing a burst of oppressive sound of zither s to fly out. The sound of zither s seemed to contain ten million tons of power, causing Xi Yue and Chu Yun to feel suppressed, as if their bodies were being pressed down by a mountain, and they even felt like they were suffocating.    

When Emperor Zi heard this sound of zither, he couldn't help but take a glance at Qin Xuan. This brat was truly a genius in the zither, the speed of his zither technique progress was astonishing.    

Those who didn't know would definitely not be able to believe that he had only been able to learn the zither technique for over a month.    

"Rumble!" The ground of the Hibiscus Courtyard seemed to tremble, and soon after, a series of cracks appeared in the ground. The space gave birth to an incomparably terrifying vortex, releasing an incomparably terrifying suction force, causing the weeds in the crack to fly out one after another, entering into the vortex, and eventually being crushed into nothingness.    

Within the time of a few breaths, the appearance of the Hibiscus Courtyard seemed to have changed drastically. The weeds and fallen leaves had all disappeared, and it looked many times cleaner than when they first arrived.    

Emperor Zi and Qin Xuan slowly landed on the ground. As Emperor Zi looked at the completely new scene in front of him, a brilliant smile surfaced on his face. He muttered to himself, "Even though we still can't compare to when we left, we barely managed to stay here."    

Qin Xuan had helped him a lot, so he was happy to be able to do whatever it was he could for Emperor Zi.    

"Donghuang Yu, I'll bring you to an interesting place tonight." Emperor Zi suddenly looked at Qin Xuan, his eyes revealing a meaningful and mysterious look.    

"Where is it?" Qin Xuan was curious.    

"You'll know when we get there, and I won't let you down. Also, it might be able to help you out this time with your battles of trials." Emperor Zi continued.    

"Alright, I'll go." Qin Xuan nodded, as long as it had something to do with the battles of trials, he couldn't miss it.    

Furthermore, since Emperor Zi wanted to bring him along, there was naturally a reason.    

...    

In the western region of the imperial city, there was an orderly row of buildings. This place was known as the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant, and there were many richly decorated buildings here.    

The words' dragon and phoenix 'were enough to show their grandeur. At the same time, it seemed to imply that there were people living in this place …    

Besides the eight palaces on Saint's Island, the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant was the most luxurious. It had everything that could be found inside, just like a small independent city.    

To be able to live in the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant was a formless glory for many forces. It was a manifestation of their esteemed status, but the price they had to pay was also extremely high.    

Staying at the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant for the night required a total of three hundred sea spirit stones.    

However, even though it required an extremely expensive fee, the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant was still the most intense place where external forces fought over it. After all, the number of pavilions was limited.    

As a result, many powers would rush over four or five days before the battles of trials opens, in order to occupy a spot in the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant in advance.    

Unfortunately, many of the major powers had similar thoughts in their hearts. They all rushed over early, so they didn't have much of an advantage.    

Five days before the battles of trials would open, all of the pavilions in Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant had been sold out, and there was not a single extra room.    

And the last pavilion, just happened to be bought by the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument.    

At this time, Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument was walking inside the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant with his men.    

Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument was walking at the very front with an incomparably arrogant expression. His gaze was imposing and his body emitted an extremely obvious aura of a superior, and the disciples behind him also held their heads high and puffed their chests up.    

They knew about the existence of the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant from the Profound Moon Island. They never thought that they would actually live here, and that they would be the last power to move in. This made them feel very strange, as if the heavens had deliberately left them here.    

After the people of Qianqin Mountain stayed in the pavilion, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument found Qin Zhu and said that he had something to tell him.    

"Foster father, what business do you have with your son?" Qin Zhu looked at Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and asked.    

"Initially, I had wanted Emperor Zi to help out, but now it's impossible. I'm going to walk around for a bit, you come with me." The Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument said.    

Qin Zhu's gaze immediately brightened up. He naturally knew what his foster father meant by 'walk'.    

First Emperor Island was the number one island in Xihua Islands. Other than the three Saints, there were also many other great characters of the Emperor Realm. If they could get their appreciation, it would be a lot easier for them amongst the battles of trials.    

This battles of trials that was held once every fifty years had a lot of benefits and interests involved, it was not just an ordinary competition.    

"How do we move?" Qin Zhu asked.    

"Right now, time waits for no one. If we go too late, we would have been snatched away by others. At that time, it would be too late for regret."    

The Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument's expression was extremely solemn, the battles of trials had actually already begun a long time ago, everyone was willing to prepare at all costs, if they were to wait until the true start of the operation, then it would be too late.    

"Alright." Qin Zhu nodded his head, this matter was related to him, he would naturally not hesitate.    

Then, the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument and Qin Zhu left the pavilion, walked out of the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant and headed towards the western side where the great power s were.    

In fact, it was not only the Ancient Emperor of the Thousand Instrument that was aware of this, many people from outside powers knew this and had already started moving in secret. They were fighting to be the first to contact the important figures, afraid that they would be contacted by others.    

And just as many people were running away from the private sector, Qin Xuan and Emperor Zi seemed to be completely unaware of it. They had left the Hibiscus Courtyard in the evening, and an hour later, the two of them had appeared in front of an extremely grand and imposing pavilion.    

"Sky Sound Workshop."    

Qin Xuan looked at the signboard hanging on top of the pavilion, these three words were carved on top, the strokes were like dragons and snakes, it was extremely imposing.    

"It's been so many years, but I'm back again today." Emperor Zi also looked at those three words, and his eyes seemed to reveal a hint of reminiscence, as he muttered to himself.
