Peerless God Emperor

"Senior, I'm extremely sorry." All these years, dragon race had always been the one in charge of keeping the Eternal Immortal Monument. Now that he had taken it away, he still owed dragon race a great debt of gratitude.    

"Forget it." Dragon Lord waved his hand and said, "Since you have already taken it, I presume it is fated to be yours. Treat it as my dragon race's gift and return it to you after using it in the future."    

When Ouyang Huang heard this, he glanced at Dragon Lord with a strange look in his eyes.    

Too naive.    

"Of course." After all, the opponents he would face in the future would be very strong, so the Heavenly Dragon Halberd and Sobbing Sky Sword might not be enough of a threat, and he was not able to unleash the full might of the phagocytic crystal, so he needed a suitable weapon.    

And having an eternal tablet was undoubtedly the best choice.    

"I have a question. Can you answer it truthfully?" Dragon Lord looked at Qin Xuan and asked.    

"Senior, please ask. Junior will tell you the truth." Qin Xuan nodded and replied.    

"How did you make the Heavenly Stele recognize you as its master?" The Heavenly Stele had been in his dragon race for hundreds of thousands of years, and from the beginning till the end, only Wu Tie could control it. How did an Emperor Realm figure like Qin Xuan take the Heavenly Stele from his hands?    

Ouyang Huang also looked at Qin Xuan curiously. He also didn't understand this point.    

Seeing the doubt in the two people's eyes, Qin Xuan revealed an apologetic smile. He looked at Dragon Lord and cupped his fists as he said, "To be honest, last time I stepped on the Heavenly Stele, this junior entered the inner space of the Heavenly Stele. Moreover, I saw the spirit of the tablet."    

"You saw the tablet spirit?" Dragon Lord's expression was filled with shock. There was a secret in the dragon race, the Heavenly Stele contained a tablet spirit, which was able to control the Heavenly Stele. However, he did not know whether this secret was true or false, and only the previous masters of the dragon race knew of it.    

Ever since he had obtained the Heavenly Stele, he had not discovered anything amiss. He had thought that the secret of the tablet spirit was only a rumor, but he had never imagined that it was actually true.    

Qin Xuan actually saw the tablet spirit!    

"Back then, the tablet spirit said something to me. The Heavenly Stele was an ancient item, and it was once called the Eternal Immortal Monument. It was only named the Heavenly Stele after entering the dragon race." Qin Xuan said.    

"Eternal undying tablet …" Dragon Lord muttered to himself as his eyes sparkled. It seemed like the origin of this monument was even more terrifying than he had imagined. The person who possessed it back then must have been a supreme expert.    

"In the past, the spirit of the tablet allowed me to enter the inner space of the Eternal Immortal Monument. It said that I was fated to be able to control this monument in the future." Qin Xuan spoke again, "That's why I dared to try and see if I could take away the eternal tablet."    

"So you are the chosen master of the tablet spirit. No wonder you were able to take away the eternal immortal tablet." Dragon Lord suddenly understood. Ouyang Huang glanced at Qin Xuan with a peculiar gaze. Back then, he was only at dragon race at Emperor's level, yet he was acknowledged by the tablet spirit. Just how strong was his destiny?    

However, he was not surprised by the thought of Qin Xuan and Emperor possessing such a magical item like the phagocytic crystal.    

Some people were destined to be unable to be seen with common sense.    

"Senior, please be at ease. I will definitely return it to dragon race in the future." Qin Xuan promised Dragon Lord.    

"No worries, take it and use it first." Since Qin Xuan was the owner of the tablet spirit's choice, he had nothing else to say. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself, the dragon race, for not being acknowledged by the tablet spirit.    

Of course, he believed that Qin Xuan would fulfill his promise and return the eternal monument.    

"Sorry for bothering you for so long. Junior will take his leave today." Qin Xuan cupped his hands towards Dragon Lord, his tone was very polite, after all, he had taken away the dragon race's treasure, and his hands were weak.    

Dragon Lord looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully. He knew that Qin Xuan had a lot of things on his back and he couldn't stay in the dragon race for long. He smiled and said, "This emperor will not stay for long.    

"Of course." Then, he looked at Ouyang Huang and the two of them left the hall together.    

… ….    

One day later, Qin Xuan returned to Xuanyuan City's side courtyard without attracting too much attention. Previously, his departure was very quiet. Even Duan Ruoxi, Xuanyuan Potian, and the rest did not know when he left, much less where he went.    

At this moment, Qin Xuan was sitting on a stone table and Ximen Guyan was lying on an armchair beside him. His eyes were slightly closed and his expression was tranquil and peaceful. He had a sense of security that he hadn't felt in a long time.    

"Speaking of which, you and I have not been sitting together like this for a long time." Ximen Guyan suddenly said, with a hint of regret in his voice.    

"All these years, disciple has been training outside the sect, allowing teacher to suffer alone here is indeed a waste of disciple's efforts." Qin Xuan said with a guilty tone. Towards Ximen Guyan, his heart was always filled with gratitude and guilt. He owed him too much.    

"Nonsense." Ximen Guyan's eyes suddenly opened as he looked at Qin Xuan and scolded, "I am you, Master, and protecting the safety of my disciple is my responsibility. You have trained hard to avenge me, and this is my responsibility, so what's wrong with that."    

"I will follow Master's teachings." Qin Xuan lightly nodded his head, not daring to retort in the slightest.    

"I have a son-in-law like Heaven Breaker, and I'm already satisfied to have a disciple like you. I will have no regrets in this life." "Ximen Guyan said with a smile and a pleased tone, as if he was talking to someone else.    

"Really?" Zither Demons, who was once a peerless talent, had now become an ordinary person. He must be extremely unwilling to accept this. There was also his mistress, who was still in the Three Purities Immortal Palace. His teacher tried to bring her back but failed to do so.    

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan looked at Ximen Guyan and said, "Teacher, let's go get Mistress back."    

Hearing this, Ximen Guyan's body slightly trembled. A strange light flashed across his blurry eyes. He stared at Qin Xuan's face and noticed that his expression was very serious. It didn't seem like he was joking.    

Ximen Guyan was very clear that Qin Xuan's position in the Nine Regions was very high. If he were to go to the Three Purities Immortal Palace to pick him up, there would be many Rankers helping him. However, this was his private matter and he did not want others to interfere, as it would be detrimental to his reputation.    

Although he had lost his cultivation, he didn't want to lose his backbone.    

Ximen Guyan had a smile on his face. He looked at Qin Xuan and said gently, "I understand your intentions now. When your cultivation becomes stronger, go and fetch your mistress back."    

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment. He seemed to understand Ximen Guyan's concerns and smiled, "Teacher, don't worry. You and I will go together. We don't need anyone's help."    

Ximen Guyan's face suddenly revealed a puzzled expression. He thought he misheard and couldn't help but ask again: "You're the only one who went with me?"    

"Yes, it is enough for us to go." Qin Xuan smiled and nodded. He knew that Ximen Guyan didn't want anyone else to interfere in this matter.    

Ximen Guyan stared at Qin Xuan, his heart not calm. Qin Xuan's cultivation was only the Peak Stage of an Emperor, and the Three Purities Immortal Palace was the head of the Eight Great Temples, so there were many people in the Saint Stage, not to mention Zhuge Xuan was a Saint of the sixth step, how could Qin Xuan save someone from his hands?    

He felt that Qin Xuan was a bit too impulsive in this matter, probably thinking about filial piety.    

"Forget it. We'll discuss this matter after you step into the Saint Stage." Ximen Guyan waved his hand and said. He didn't want to put Qin Xuan in danger because of him.    

"This matter is not difficult. Master, rest assured." Qin Xuan laughed, "Tomorrow, we will go to Three Purities Immortal Palace to bring Mistress back. Our family will reunite."    

Ximen Guyan felt a warm feeling flowing through his heart and did not try to dissuade him anymore. Since Qin Xuan had already said so, he must really have some confidence.    

After leaving the garden, Qin Xuan walked towards his own room.    

At a certain moment, he couldn't help but frown. After which, he discovered that the surrounding space had been sealed by a mysterious force. It was as though it had turned into an independent space, isolated from the outside world and unable to see what was happening outside.    

Qin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, then he saw a fluctuation in space in front of him. Space tore apart and an old man dressed in plain clothes walked out. His eyes were squinted, as if he would never be able to open them, and a gratified and benevolent smile appeared on his face.    

When he saw the old figure in front of him, Qin Xuan's gaze instantly froze. His heart felt as if it was touched, his nose was sore, and his eyes were moist. He felt like he was about to cry.    

In front of others, he was the most monstrous person within the Tianxuan Nine Domains, Palace Lord of the Profound Sky Divine Palace. He alone carried a huge responsibility and never mentioned anything to anyone, but in front of this old man in front of him, he only felt that he was still a child.    

"Fen Old Master."    

Qin Xuan stared at the old man that was walking towards him and slowly said. This voice contained too many emotions that were hard to put into words.    

"It's only been a few years, but you're still so soft-hearted, brat. How are you going to become an overlord in the future?" Fen Old Master couldn't help but glare at Qin Xuan. Although it was a rebuke, his tone was extremely gentle and filled with the care of an elder.    

"I am now the leader of a major power. How can I not be a leader?" Qin Xuan immediately retorted, as if he was not convinced.    

"If it weren't for the support of a few Eighth Order warriors, your Profound God Palace would have been destroyed countless of times. How dare you call yourself a leader?" Fen Old Master said with disdain.    

Qin Xuan was stunned when he heard this and immediately reacted. A look of extreme shock flashed across his eyes. It seemed like Fen Old Master was well aware of what had happened in the Asura Hell and everything was under his watch.    

If that was the case, his previous guess was most likely correct.    

Fen Old Master knew that Profound Sky Divine Palace would not be able to survive in the Asura Hell, so he opened the Dimension Gate, allowing them to return to Profound Sky Continent!
