It was true that he had had the illusion of wanting to unite the Xihua Islands, but it was only an illusion, and was impossible to realize in his hands.
The None-beginning Palace was the absolute hegemon of the First Emperor Island and was ranked among the top among all the great power s of the Xihua Islands. But to unify the world, he still had a long way to go.
That person saw Beginning Emperor's expression and seemed to know the answer.
It wasn't Beginning Emperor who suggested it?
His gaze turned, and looked at Lin Ru who was beside Beginning Emperor, could it be this Lin Family orphan?
Many gazes also landed on Lin Ru. Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Ru asked, "Everyone, do you remember Donghuang Yu, who became famous not long ago in the battle of the battles of trials?"
"Donghuang Yu!"
They already knew the news that Donghuang Yu was only an assumed name. His real name was Qin Xuan and he was the strongest person in the Nine Regions. He came to the Boundless Sea to take revenge on Di Family.
It was said that he had killed Di Family's son in Xia Wang Jie.
After coming out of the Xia Wang Jie, Patriarch Di Family personally came to the Sacred Sky Island to punish him. However, the Ye Family Patriarch and the Xia Wang Jie were protecting him and Di Family couldn't do anything to him, so he left the matter at that.
This was roughly the information they received, and more specifically, they didn't know about it. However, just these information alone was sufficient to shock them.
That arrogant and unbridled handsome youth from back then, had actually impersonated himself as the Boundless Sea, and he was even the most outstanding junior of the Nine Regions. This was simply a fantasy. If the news wasn't true, they wouldn't even dare to believe it was true!
A few people finally came to their senses as their eyes revealed a trace of surprise. What was the purpose of Lin Ru mentioning Qin Xuan?
Their hearts thumped for a moment as if they had understood something.
"This matter was brought up by him." Lin Ru said lightly.
There was complete silence below. Other than those who knew about this, most of the other powers were extremely shocked. They found it hard to accept this fact.
A person who had just entered the Emperor Realm wanted to unite the Xihua Islands.
Why?
"So you're saying, the destruction of the Heavenly Sword Sect was also caused by Qin Xuan?" At this time, someone asked.
After this person's reminder, many people's eyes flashed with a bright light. Back at the battles of trials, Tianji Sword Lord had a grudge with Qin Xuan and even almost attacked Qin Xuan. If it wasn't for Qin Xuan's trump card, he probably would have died miserably at Tianji Sword Lord's hands.
Now that Qin Xuan had returned with the demeanor of the strongest in the Nine Regions, it was within reason for the Heavenly Sword Sect to be destroyed.
Sooner or later, he would have to pay back the debts he had owed back then.
"Something like that." Lin Ru responded, although Qin Xuan did not appear, but this was his intention.
The hearts of the crowd pounded, they only felt that the world was unpredictable.
There was a time when Tianji Sword Lord was still so arrogant and proud. He could be called the overlord of a generation in the Xihua Islands, but because he offended a junior, his life came to an end.
If he could have a second life, he would likely regret his actions back then.
"Since everyone is clear about who brought up this matter, then, who would agree with and who would oppose it?" Beginning Emperor glanced at the crowd as he asked. The meaning of his words were clear, he wanted them to express their stance now.
Those who did not come were definitely among those who opposed it. Among those who were there, there might be some who would oppose it. It would be better to ask first, and wait for Qin Xuan to come back and see how he planned to deal with it.
"Martial Saint Palace agrees." Martial Saint Palace's Palace Lord was the first to speak.
"Eight Desolation Divine Hall has no objections either."
"Aurora Divine Sect also agrees with this."
Other than the None-beginning Palace, the heads of the other three great power s had expressed their opinions, which was equivalent to giving an example to the other forces. As for what they should do next, it would depend on whether they were willing to follow suit or not.
In fact, this was a process of weighing the pros and cons.
The bustle of the world was all about profit and gain. All decisions were made on the basis of self-interest. When one cultivated to the Emperor's Realm, no one was an idiot.
Seeing that the Four Great First-class forces s had accepted this matter, some people started to follow closely behind him. Furthermore, even the strong great power, Martial Saint Palace and the others agreed.
However, there were still many people who remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Beginning Emperor swept his gaze across the crowd and then said: "I can tell you one more thing, maybe I can help you make a decision."
The gazes of the crowd were all riveted on Beginning Emperor. Doubt could be seen on their faces. What else did he have to say?
"Qin Xuan, you received Xi Hua Holy Lord's inheritance in the Huangquan Road and also gave him the Western Flower Token. Right now, Qin Xuan is the nominal owner of Western Flower." Beginning Emperor spoke slowly with a solemn look on his face.
"Qin Xuan got the West Flower Token?"
Beginning Emperor's words were like a thunderclap, causing the expressions of the crowd to freeze as waves of shock surged through their hearts.
The one who received the order was known as the co-lord of Xihua.
This was Xi Hua Holy Lord's last command before he fell. However, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, no one had brought out the Western Flower Token, and no one unified Xihua Islands. So much so that many people had forgotten about the existence of the Western Flower Token.
But now that Beginning Emperor suddenly mentioned it, they suddenly recalled the decree. Could it be that there really is a Western Flower Command?
Even the Martial Saint Palace Palace Lord, Aurora Divine Sect, Aurora Divine Sect, and the Eight Desolation Divine Hall Hall Master were shocked. They looked at Beginning Emperor in disbelief.
They only knew that Qin Xuan intended to unite the Xihua Islands, but they never thought that Qin Xuan would be Xi Hua Holy Lord's successor. Moreover, the Western Flower Token was in his hands.
"From the Huangquan Road." Martial Saint Palace Palace Lord muttered. He seemed to have thought of something, and a light suddenly flashed across his eyes. Since the opening of the battles of trials to the previous session, no one had stepped into the Huangquan Road, and the Western Flower Token had never appeared.
The Western Flower Token was most likely hidden in the Huangquan Road!
Thinking about this, he became even more determined in his heart. Xihua Islands had been in a mess for so many years, it was about time for some changes to happen.
"Since Qin Xuan has the Western Flower Token, then he does have the qualifications to unite the Xihua Islands."
At this moment, another voice drifted out. The gazes of the crowd shifted, they discovered that the person speaking was a middle-aged man clad in a white fur robe.
"This is a very important matter, I need to go back and report to Sect Master. He will decide." Another person cupped his fists and said.
"You can, but try your best to be a bit faster. Else, this Emperor will not guarantee what will happen." Beginning Emperor looked towards that person and said.
When that person heard this, his expression turned cold. Beginning Emperor was clearly warning him that if he deliberately delayed and did not deliver the result, he would be seen as opposed to it. At that time, he might have to pay a price.
Judging from Qin Xuan's methods, he probably wouldn't give them too much time to make a decision.
"Everyone, take a seat. I'll be leaving first." That person bade farewell to the crowd and departed from the great hall.
"I also need to discuss this with the other elders and then take my leave. Beginning Emperor, please forgive me."
Following that, voices rang out in the hall. Many people stood up and greeted Beginning Emperor before hurriedly leaving the hall. Their expressions were clearly in a hurry.
Beginning Emperor looked at the departing figures of those people and did not ask them to stay. There was a deep meaning in his eyes. He did not know how many of them actually went back to consider.
Perhaps there were people who were against it, but it didn't matter much to him. He only needed to do what he needed to do, and the rest would be left to Qin Xuan to arrange.
If one wanted to wear a crown, one had to bear its weight.
Qin Xuan wanted to unite the Xihua Islands. It was not enough for him to have the Western Flower Token. He also needed to have a strong enough method to make all the other forces submit to him.

The Cloud King Island was filled with luxurious palaces that floated above the clouds. They were flowing with light and incomparably beautiful, and amongst the many palaces, there was an extremely eye-catching immortal palace that towered above all the other palaces, it was extremely majestic and grand, making people feel that they were insignificant with just a glance.
This misty immortal palace was the palace of the Cloud Empire.
At this time, within the Cloud Empire's Imperial Palace, there were many other figures and experts as numerous as the clouds. These people came from the various great power of the other islands, and they were gathered here with one purpose in mind, to discuss on how to deal with the upcoming events.
The None-beginning Palace called for the various powers of the Xihua Islands to attend the gathering and discuss the way things would turn out. There were some that headed towards the First Emperor Island, but there were also some that came to the Cloud King Island.
It was obvious that these people were here to rebel against the None-beginning Palace.
"Cloud Emperor, are you sure Donghuang Yu has returned?" Amongst the crowd, one of them looked at the Cloud Empire Emperor and asked with an uncertain tone.
"His name is no longer Donghuang Yu. It's Qin Xuan." The Cloud Emperor said indifferently, a sharp light flashing in the depths of his eyes. That person still had the Cloud Empire Sacred Artifact in his hands, he had always remembered this matter in his heart.
"Profound Moon Island was unified, it was said that Lin Ru had made his move, and the Heavenly Sword Sect had been annihilated. They seemed to be inextricably linked to Qin Xuan, and it should be that he has returned." The other person also joined in.
"What are you guys planning to do?" The Cloud Emperor's eyes swept across the crowd as he asked tentatively.
"We came here together with the Cloud Emperor, of course. We will listen to his instructions." The person from before said in a low voice, and the others all nodded in agreement.
Qin Xuan joining hands with the None-beginning Palace to change the situation in the Xihua Islands was definitely not something they wanted to see. They did not want to listen to the orders of others.
Everyone in the Xihua Islands knew that Qin Xuan and the Cloud Empire had a feud that was as deep as the ocean and that the two could never coexist. Therefore, they came to the Cloud King Island immediately and wanted to ally with the Cloud Empire to survive this disaster.
After all, the Cloud Empire was guarded by two Saints, and their power was much stronger than the ones they had. If they could form an alliance with the Cloud Empire, it would be a good thing for them.
