Peerless God Emperor

Now, if one were to ask the most famous person in the Nine Heaven Immortal Country, the first person that everyone thought of was no longer Third Prince Yi Chen. There was one more person, Qin Xuan.    

How honorable was it for a nationalist to be bestowed the title of a king with a different surname?    

On this day, a guard appeared outside of Qin Xuan's palace. He bowed respectfully in the direction of the palace and said, "General Fang Zhou, I'm here specifically to seek an audience with Your Highness, the Duke of Qin."    

Moments later, Qin Xuan walked out of the palace. His gaze landed on the guard and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of suspicion as he asked, "What's the matter?"    

"Third Prince, please invite the Duke of Qin over for a seat." He was Yi Chen's trusted aide.    

"Third Prince Yi Chen." Qin Xuan thought back to that unparalleled young man's figure in the palace, giving him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. And now, he finally came to find him?    

"Step forward and lead the way." Qin Xuan said.    

Qin Xuan followed behind him, passing through the void of the immortal palace. Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of a grand hall, inside the hall, there was a powerful aura of a great dao, as if someone was cultivating inside.    

"What a powerful Dao-might. It perfectly combined with many great Daos. Its power is astonishing." Qin Xuan secretly praised him in his heart. His Great Way combined many different types of powers, which was why he was able to suppress most of his peers and even cross cultivation levels to fight against others.    

From the looks of it, Yi Chen's Dao was the same as Yi Chen's. Furthermore, Yi Chen had already reached the realm of Great Emperor. However, how powerful must he be now?    

The number one person in the Nine Heavens Immortal Country, his reputation was not for show.    

Soon enough, the atmosphere in the hall calmed down. A refreshing voice could be heard from inside, "Duke of Qin, please enter."    

Qin Xuan heard the footsteps and stepped into the hall. He saw a young man standing in front of him with a powerful aura flowing around his body. Divine light shone from his body, perfect and flawless.    

At this moment, Yi Chen turned around and faced Qin Xuan. A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face as he said, "Thank you for coming personally, King Qin."    

"How could I dare not to come at the invitation of the Third Prince?" Qin Xuan replied with a smile.    

"I wonder if you have any impression of me?" Yi Chen looked at Qin Xuan and asked.    

When Qin Xuan heard this, a strange light flashed across his eyes. It seemed that it was not an illusion, but the truth. He had met Yi Chen before, but he had no impression of her.    

"The River Diagram. Within the Dao Sea." Yi Chen reminded Qin Xuan again.    

His gaze was fixed on the figure of the young man in front of him, and another figure appeared in his mind. Bathing in the divine light, Qin Xuan walked freely in the Dao Sea, as if he had remembered something. At that time, the figure had left a deep impression on him.    

It turned out that the person was the third prince, Yi Chen.    

He should have long thought of this. The River Diagram was the most precious treasure of the Nine Heavens Immortal Empire. How could an ordinary person be allowed to enter? Since the Asura Hell didn't have such a person, they could only come from Qing Xuan and their statuses wouldn't be low.    

"The Third Prince has already cultivated to the realm of an Emperor. His Majesty is unparalleled, so why did he go to the River Diagram to cultivate?" Qin Xuan asked in puzzlement. Although the River Styx was a miraculous painting that could help people comprehend cultivation, it should not be of much use to a top-notch figure like Yi Chen.    

"The map of the world is now under my control." Yi Chen said to Qin Xuan, causing Xiao Muyang's gaze to freeze.    

The map of the world was currently in Yi Chen's hands?    

With a wave of Yi Chen's hand, an incomparably resplendent divine light shone out. Following which, a beautiful picture scroll unfurled. It was the River Diagram.    

However, there was a difference between the River and Mountain painting and what Qin Xuan saw back then. Back then, the River and Mountain painting was in the form of a sacred art, but this time, it was in the form of a painting.    

Qin Xuan stared at the map of the world. His heart was filled with shock. It was unbelievable that Yi Chen would be able to control such a precious magical equipment.    

Even though Yi Chen had extraordinary talent and was honored as the next king, he had yet to step into the Saint Stage and control over the nation's treasures. He still lacked the qualifications and Qin Xuan did not understand what his foster father was thinking.    

Seemingly seeing through the doubt in Qin Xuan's heart, Yi Chen smiled faintly. "There isn't just one River and Land of the Mountain. There are two of them. One is in royal father's hand and the other is in my hand."    

Qin Xuan's gaze froze. He was shocked once again. There were actually two pieces of the River and Mountain Diagram?    

"In the past, when my ancestor created the River Diagram, he predicted that war would break out one day. Thus, he divided it in two so that the Immortal Kingdom wouldn't fall and the River Diagram would be taken away by someone else."    

Yi Chen said slowly. He glanced at Qin Xuan and continued, "It is because of the two River Diagram's that Qing Xuan and Asura appeared in the same space at the same time. The River Diagram was complete at that time."    

After Yi Chen's explanation, Qin Xuan finally understood.    

However, his heart was still filled with shock. If Yi Chen had not told him this secret, he would not have known that there were two of them.    

"This matter is an absolute secret of the immortal country. Only the current and next generation leaders know of it. No one else knows." Yi Chen said again.    

Qin Xuan glanced at Yi Chen. It seemed that Yi Chen had been chosen as the next monarch by his foster father. That was why he gave one of the painting to him for safekeeping.    

"In that case, why tell me?" Qin Xuan asked in confusion. Although he was a different surname from Wang, it was reasonable to say that he was still not qualified to know about this matter.    

"This is royal father's intention. If the country of Immortals is in trouble in the future, the map of the world in royal father's hands might be in your custody." Yi Chen looked seriously at Wu Jundao, causing his heart to shudder violently. He could hardly believe what he had just heard.    

If it was difficult for an immortal country, his foster father would give him another map of the world.    

How much trust did he have?    

"I can't afford such trust." Qin Xuan shook his head. He had only been in contact with the Nine Heaven Immortal Kingdom not long ago and was just conferred the title of King of Qin, telling him such an important matter.    

It was as though the Nine Celestial Immortals were on the verge of a calamity.    

"Since you are royal father's foster son, you are qualified to accept the Emperor's grace." Yi Chen said, "I believe royal father must have mentioned something to you earlier. Qing Xuan is not calm right now, so the great power from other realms are on the verge of making a move. The Glazed Light Holy Land sending someone to probe them is a sign."    

Hearing Yi Chen's words, Qin Xuan's heart was slightly shaken. He felt that he could not see through him. As the next Emperor, he was still able to remain calm in front of such a major event. It was as though he was only dealing with a normal matter.    

"If it weren't for the fact that no other princes or princesses were able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, royal father wouldn't have handed over the map of the land to an outsider." Yi Chen suddenly said with a wry smile. Her tone sounded somewhat sorrowful.    

At this moment, Qin Xuan seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind Yi Sheng accepting him as his adopted son.    

Perhaps, it was to entrust the future hope of an immortal country to Yi Chen and him.    

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow, royal father will arrange a banquet to send you off. When the officials gather, the other three will also be there." Yi Chen smiled at Qin Xuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Even he was astonished by Qin Xuan's talent.    

When he was at the Middle Rank of Monarch Stage, he did not possess such combat power.    

Following that, the two of them chatted for a while and shared their opinions on cultivation. Afterwards, Qin Xuan left the palace.    

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. Today, the Nine Heavenly Immortal Palace was exceptionally bustling with noise and excitement. Powerful silhouettes stepped into the palace, all of them were powerful characters from the immortal realms, with cultivations in Saint Stage.    

Normally, these powerful figures rarely saw such a spectacular gathering of hundreds of officials.    

It was because Yi Sheng was going to do it for the Duke of Qin.    

At the same time, a group of figures flew over from a certain direction. Each of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and appeared extremely mighty. They exuded the aura of a powerful being, naturally, they were all powerful figures who were in charge of this region.    

"King Lu, what do you think of this matter?" At this moment, a person in the middle asked in a low voice. That middle-aged man was none other than one of the five great beast kings, King Lu, the father of Lu Xiao.    

"What is it?" King Lu's gaze fell on that person. He had vaguely guessed a few things, but pretended that he didn't know anything.    

"Of course it's the matter of the country's lord creating a king with a different surname. Although that Qin Wang has extraordinary talent, he's still just a junior with great talent. Furthermore, he's from another continent. The country lord seems to think too highly of him." The man continued, his words seeming to have a hidden meaning.    

Qin Xuan's current identity was the King of Qin. His status was on par with the other four kings and he was above the other officials.    

This person said all this to King Lu, seemingly trying to incite some conflict, so that King Lu could stand up against this matter. After all, they were not of a different surname, and did not have the right to speak.    

"That's right, he helped the immortal country wash the shame off and forced the people from the Glazed Light Holy Land." That's right, he helped the immortal country wash the shame off and forced the people from the Glazed Light Holy Land. The other person also joined in.    

"This is the country leader's decision, so we can't discuss it too much. If any of you think that there's anything amiss, you can bring it up to the country leader later." King Lu spoke without any emotion in his voice.    

Hearing King Lu's words, the two people who had spoken earlier stiffened slightly. They could not believe that King Lu had no other thoughts in his mind, and yet he was still acting so calm. It was simply too hypocritical!    

In reality, it was just as they had guessed. King Lu had some opinions regarding Qin Xuan's bestowal of the title of King. He was a grand character in Saint Stage, but now, there was one of the Emperor Realm's younger generation that was on equal footing with him.    

However, he knew that accompanying a monarch like a tiger meant that the monarch was not to be offended. At this moment, he did not know how strong Yi Sheng's determination was, so he naturally did not dare to speak out against it.
