Peerless God Emperor

Qin Xuan was not someone from the country of immortals, not even from the Qing Xuan Continent, but from the foreign world. But the first time he came, he was recognized by the king as his foster son, a man with a different surname from the king and a mansion. This treatment had exceeded their imaginations, and since ancient times, no one had ever enjoyed such honor.    

Without a doubt, Qin Xuan's status had already surpassed many princes and princesses.    

The sealing of the Duke of Qin was the best proof.    

There were so many princes and princesses, but there were only five of them. Every single one of them weighed so little in the immortal kingdom that even though Qin Xuan had just been conferred the title of king, many people had already guessed that Qin Xuan's position would surpass the other four kings in the future.    

At this moment, Mu Wang's heart was in turmoil. Yi Sheng's decision had far exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that Yi Sheng would use such a method to win over Qin Xuan. He admired Yi Sheng from the bottom of his heart.    

"A young person's abilities must be respected!" Mu Wang sent a voice transmission to Mu Jinyu, "Your lucky chance is much greater than your Royal Father's. To meet such a noble person at such a young age, your future is limitless."    

Mu Jinyu's beautiful eyes flickered. She couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity. Qin Xuan, could he be her benefactor?    

"Qin Xuan will stay, everyone else can leave." Yi Sheng said to the crowd.    

After which, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Yi Sheng and Qin Xuan in the great hall.    

Yi Sheng looked at Qin Xuan with a smile and said gently, "Are you surprised?"    

"Mm, it was indeed very unexpected." Qin Xuan nodded. He originally thought that Yi Sheng accepted him as his foster son in order to force him to stay, but that was not the case.    

"Truth be told, I wanted to keep you here before." He had already adopted Qin Xuan as his foster son, so there was no need to hide some things from him.    

"Then why did foster father change his mind?" Qin Xuan asked curiously. Forcing him to stay seemed to be the normal decision.    

"It was Yi Chen's words that reminded me. Your talent is too monstrous, and you are not just any demon. The sky above the pond can't hold you. Your stage is in a vaster world."    

Yi Sheng said slowly, "Later on, I thought it over carefully. He was right, if I forced him to stay, you wouldn't want to, and there's no one here who can match up to you. Your potential cannot be fully unleashed, so the final result might be different than what I expected."    

Qin Xuan was silent. He also felt that Yi Sheng was right.    

After trapping him in Qing Xuan, he would never be able to reach the top of his talent. It would be difficult for him to climb to the peak of the martial path just by relying on his own cultivation.    

Genuine demon-level characters would never grow from quiet cultivation. Instead, they would constantly battle and clash with strong opponents, slowly strengthening themselves.    

"All that I have done was to rope you in. At the same time, I truly admire you. I hope that you can understand this point." Yi Sheng's gaze turned serious as though he was speaking the truth.    

Qin Xuan looked into Yi Sheng's eyes. From his eyes, he could sense a sense of sincerity and calm.    

"Of course, as the ruler of an country, I still have to think about the future of an immortal country. Naturally, I have my own selfish motives, I will not deny this." Yi Sheng smiled and said, "One day, if the country of Immortals is in trouble, I hope that you can help us."    

"Immortal State is hard?" Qin Xuan's gaze froze for a moment before he asked in confusion, "The Nine Heavenly Immortals Country is already one of the two hegemons of the Changyang Realm. What other power can shake it?"    

"Not really." Yi Sheng shook his head and said, "On the surface, the Green Xuan Continent is calm but the truth is that it is very turbulent. Some powers from other realms are already stirred up, wanting to further expand their territories. The country of Immortals is in danger even though its status is seemingly stable."    

When Qin Xuan heard this, a profound meaning flashed across his eyes. Perhaps, Yi Sheng had only told a few of these things to a few people. This was definitely a secret.    

"Of course, with your current cultivation level, it naturally won't be of much use." Yi Sheng looked at Qin Xuan and said with a smile, "However, danger will not arrive so soon. At least, the immortal kingdoms will not have any worries for the next hundred years. You can focus on your cultivation and do not worry too much about it."    

"Alright." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. With the Nine Heaven Immortal Country's foundation, even if the other realms were to start a war, they would not be able to shake the Nine Heaven Immortal Nation's foundations for the time being.    

"When are you planning to return to the Asura Hell?" Yi Sheng asked.    

"As soon as possible. After I'm done here, I'll go back." Qin Xuan replied.    

"So fast? There are many good places to cultivate in the Immortal Kingdom, so it's not too late for you to return after cultivating for a period of time. " Yi Sheng advised. He did not want to force Qin Xuan to stay, but to be honest, some of the cultivation holy lands of the Nine Heavens Immortal Kingdom were not inferior to the Asura Hell. It was beneficial to Qin Xuan.    

"Three months from now, the Western Regions will host the disciple recruitment event of the Western Sky Sovereign. I wish to hurry there to take a look." Qin Xuan explained.    

"The West Heaven God of the Jun Xuan Continent?" Yi Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint of light. Although he was no longer in the Asura Hell, he had heard quite a bit of news.    

"That's right. The West Empyrean God's disciple recruitment event has always been the focus of attention. There will be many people who will come by name. I also want to try my luck." Qin Xuan nodded.    

"You want to take Hierarch West as your master?" Yi Sheng looked at Qin Xuan in surprise. This guy was truly ambitious.    

"That's not it. They just want to use this gathering of heroes to find the companions of the Sky Profound Continent. I believe some of them will also go for such a grand event."    

Qin Xuan continued, "Moreover, this trip could also be considered as an experiential learning. I hope that it can further enhance my strength."    

Yi Sheng nodded. He originally wanted to persuade Qin Xuan to stay, but seeing that Qin Xuan had already planned everything, he did not say anything more.    

"Whatever, if you want to come back in the future, you can come back anytime." Yi Sheng patted Qin Xuan on the shoulder and said with a bright smile on his face. At this moment, the two of them looked like father and son.    

"One more thing. I hope that foster father can handle this matter." Qin Xuan suddenly said to Yi Sheng.    

"What is it?" Yi Sheng asked.    

"In the Asura Hell, Mu Jinyu and I were assassinated, and the mastermind was Lu Xiao." Qin Xuan said with a serious expression. He did not know if Yi Sheng was informed about this matter. It just so happened that he was alone with Yi Sheng, so he told Yi Sheng about it.    

"There's actually such a thing?" Yi Sheng immediately frowned. Yi Zi had never told him about this.    

Perhaps, Yi He had originally planned to report this to his superiors, but after the incident with Qin Xuan, he suppressed it and wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Mu Jinyu.    

"Amongst the numerous sons, the third son, Yi Chen, is the most outstanding. His talent and character is flawless. His talent is passable, but he is narrow-minded and not magnanimous." Yi Sheng sighed, his tone filled with regret.    

Qin Xuan looked at Yi Sheng as if he could empathise with him. Yi Sheng was the king so he naturally wished for his children to be outstanding. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. If he was not present, the Nine Heavens Immortal Empire would not have ended today.    

"King Lu was bestowed the title of Emperor by the late emperor. Although this matter is vile, we still have to give King Lu some face and can only let him return. We can only imprison him for fifty years and not leave the King Lu Palace. How do you feel about this?" Yi Sheng asked Qin Xuan.    

Qin Xuan was one of the parties involved. Thankfully, Lu Xiao had not succeeded, or else, Qin Xuan would be a corpse by now. This matter had to be handled to Qin Xuan's satisfaction.    

"I have no objections, let's see if the Mu Palace can accept it or not." He could understand the difficulties of Yi Sheng. If he killed Lu Xiao, it would definitely cause Resentment to form in King Lu's heart against the Immortal Kingdom. It would also aggravate the conflict between the King Lu Palace and Mu Palace and would be detrimental to the stability of the Immortal Kingdom.    

"Alright!" Yi Sheng nodded his head heavily. The admiration in his eyes grew stronger as he looked at Qin Xuan. To repay a debt of virtue showed how broad his breadth of mind was!
