Peerless God Emperor

On that day, Duan Chengtian arrived at the palace and saw Qin Xuan and the others. He greeted with a smile, "Brother Qin, how have you been staying these past few days?"    

"Very good. Thank you for your warm welcome, Brother Duan." Qin Xuan laughed heartily. Now that his relationship with Duan Chengtian had become closer, they naturally got along more casually.    

"Today, I came to find Brother Qin because I have something to tell him." His expression suddenly became more serious.    

"What is it?" Qin Xuan asked. He was slightly curious in his heart when he saw Duan Ling Tian's expression, as it seemed that this matter wasn't ordinary.    

"It's related to the Devil's Cave." A serious voice came out of Duan Chengtian's mouth.    

Qin Xuan, Mo Lishang, and the others all focused their gazes as soon as they heard this as ripples appeared in their hearts. A few days ago, Duan Ling Tian mentioned the Devil's Cave to them, but now he personally came here saying that he had something to tell them.    

"Brother Duan, please speak frankly." The Devil's Cave was a forbidden area in the eastern part of the country, so anything related to it was naturally unusual. This matter was probably more important than Qin Xuan had imagined.    

Subsequently, Duan Chengtian told Qin Xuan and the others about the relationship between the Devil Nest and the Duan Clan, including the thoughts of the Duan Clan. It caused Qin Xuan and the others to be endlessly shocked in their hearts, as if they knew a heaven-shaking secret.    

"The Devil Nest is actually the place where the Duan Clan's Ancestor fell!" Qin Xuan's heart trembled uncontrollably. No wonder this was a forbidden area. Presumably, it contained a great opportunity left behind by the Duan Clan's Ancestor that no one else was allowed to touch.    

"What Brother Duan means is that you hope for us to step into the Devil Nest together and help the Duan Clan find the opportunities of their ancestors?" Qin Xuan looked at Duan Ling Tian as he asked.    

"Exactly." "However, there are many dangers within the Devil's Cave. Even we don't know what will happen after we enter, and our lives might be in danger. Thus, Brother Qin carefully considered it."    

"Understood." Qin Xuan nodded, but all the lucky chances were accompanied by danger. Duan Chengtian said just now that some of the stronger Saints of the Duan Clan broke into the Devil's Nest without permission and didn't come out in the end. It could be seen how terrifying the Devil's Nest was, even Saints would have difficulty keeping their lives.    

"Can you allow me to consider it for a few days, and then give Brother Duan a reply after I've thought it over?" Qin Xuan looked towards Duan Cheng Tian. He couldn't make a decision immediately.    

"Alright." Duan Ling Tian nodded. He didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate with Qin Xuan's way of doing things. After all, this matter was related to one's life and death, so he naturally had to treat it with caution.    

After Duan Chengtian left, Qin Xuan looked at Mo Lishang, Chu Feng, and the others at the side and asked, "What do you guys think?"    

"The Duan Clan has previously helped us in the Central Bank of Heaven, so we should repay this kindness." Murong Guangzhao said, "Only, we don't know anything about the Devil's Cavern. If we follow the Duan Clan in, the risk is too great. Moreover, it's something left behind by the Duan Clan's Ancestor, so we might not be able to obtain anything."    

"I think we can go in."    

A different voice sounded out, Chu Feng said: "We came out to gain experience in the first place, so not only will we go in, Duan Chengtian will go too. Since he is not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of?"    

Hearing the words of the two, Qin Xuan's face was calm. No one knew what he was thinking, but he looked at Mo Lishang and asked, "Li Shang, what do you think?"    

"This matter is no small matter. I believe that we should not rashly make a decision. Why don't we ask the True Lord and see what he thinks?" Mo Lishang replied.    

"That is my intention as well." Qin Xuan nodded. True Lord Taishang was experienced and knowledgeable, so it was best to ask for his opinion on such a big matter.    

After that, a mirror appeared in Qin Xuan's hand. His palm released a wave of powerful spiritual energy and gushed into the mirror. In an instant, the mirror lit up with a resplendent light, turning into an illusory figure. It was an old man — the True Lord Taishang.    

This mirror was a treasure gifted to Qin Xuan by the True Lord Taishang, it was called the Twin Heavenly Mirror. It contained a sliver of the Division Soul of the True Lord Taishang, and as long as he activated the mirror, he would be able to trigger the Division Soul of the True Lord Taishang and communicate with it through the air.    

"True Lord." When they saw True Lord Taishang appear, Qin Xuan and the rest all bowed respectfully.    

"What happened?" The Grand Sage looked at Qin Xuan and the rest and asked with a serious expression. If it wasn't something major, then the True Saint wouldn't have activated the Twin Elements Stage of Taiji Realm.    

After that, Qin Xuan told the Grand Sage about the matter of the Devil's nest. When the Grand Sage heard that, his face revealed a hint of shock, as if he had thought of something.    

"True Lord, should we agree to the Duan Clan's request?" Qin Xuan asked.    

"Promise them." True Lord Taishang answered directly.    

Qin Xuan and the rest were stunned and couldn't react for a while.    

The Great Sage's reply was too quick. He directly got them to agree, as if there was no need to think about it.    

"Why?" Qin Xuan asked. The others also looked at True Lord Taishang doubtfully. True Lord would definitely not let them die. Since he said that, there must be a reason for him to do so.    

However, the Grand Sage didn't reply to Qin Xuan. Instead, he asked, "Do you know who the ancestors of the Duan Clan were?"    

"Eh …." Qin Xuan's expression froze for a moment before he shook his head and said, "I don't know."    

He didn't even know what kind of power the Duan Clan cultivated, so how would he know who the Duan Clan's ancestor was? However, judging from the reaction on the True Lord Grand Sage's face, could it be that the Duan Clan's ancestor was a grand character?    

"If my guess is not wrong, the Duan Clan's ancestor ought to be one of the ten Supreme Elders of the God Realm, Empyrean Samsara!" True Lord Taishang said slowly.    

"One of the Ten Exalted Celestial Heavens, Empyrean Samsara!"    

Qin Xuan and the rest's hearts were violently moving up and down, their eyes were filled with shock. Ten Heavenly Sovereigns, did it mean that he was one of the ten great Empyreans of the God Realm?    

Empyrean Samsara controlled the power of Samsara!    

"There are a total of eight divine crystal in this world. They are phagocytic crystal, Void Crystal, Fire Crystal, Ice Crystal, Sealing Crystal, Desolate Crystal, Mirror of Samsara, and Darkness Crystal." The Great Sage's face was grave as he said, "The Heavenly Lord of Samsara controls the Reincarnation Crystal. Since he sacrificed his life for the Dao, the crystal could be used to suppress the evil races of the foreign lands!"    

Qin Xuan's heart shuddered when he heard this. He seemed to understand something and asked tentatively, "Does the True Lord think that the Reincarnation Crystal is in the Devil's Cave?"    

"That's just my guess." The Great Sage replied, "It's also possible that the Venerable Lord Rebirth and the Venerable Devourer would entrust the Reincarnation Crystal to someone else, but the possibility isn't high. Treasures like the divine crystal s, if they don't have someone they trust very much, they definitely wouldn't hand it over so easily."    

"Indeed." Qin Xuan was extremely convinced of this. After all, peerless characters like Void Empyrean Sovereign were too few in number. Before entering the Empyrean, he had to first behead the Empyrean. He was also a legendary existence in the God Realm.    

"There's another reason why I think that the Reincarnation Crystal might be inside the demon's lair. It's because of the words that Empyrean Samsara passed down." True Saint said again.    

Qin Xuan was at a loss. He did not know what the Grand Sage was referring to.    

The Grand Sage looked meaningfully at Qin Xuan, and then said, "Don't enter the Devil's Cave until the time is right."    

Qin Xuan couldn't help but reveal a strange expression when he saw True Lord Taishang looking at him and uttering such words.    

"Does True Lord mean that my arrival at the Duan Clan means that the time has come?" Qin Xuan asked with an uncertain tone.    

"Exactly." The Grand Sage smiled and nodded, "You are a person with great fortune, and I believe you know this better than anyone else. Since the Duan Clan is willing to tell you of the origins of the Devil's Lair and requests your help, it can be seen that they have a lot of trust in you. This is the fate between you and the Duan Clan."    

Qin Xuan seemed to have understood something.    

When Empyrean Samsara had said those words, perhaps he had already thought about the situation today. Everything was predestined.    

However, at this moment, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. True Lord Taishang seemed to be extremely knowledgeable about the matters of the God Realm.    

He seemed to know what kind of character Void Empyrean Sovereign was. Not only that, he even knew that the Duan Clan's ancestor was Empyrean Samsara. This was originally the Duan Clan's secret message, how did he know about it?    

True Lord Taishang's body was shrouded in a layer of dense fog, making it impossible for anyone to see through him.    

Qin Xuan was thinking, is he really just an expert of the Profound Sky Continent?    

Perhaps, it was not that simple.    

Even though Qin Xuan was curious about the True Lord Taishang in his heart, he did not ask about it. If the True Lord Taishang was willing to tell him, he would naturally say it out himself.    

After which, the True Lord Taishang's silhouette disappeared, transforming into strands of light as he returned to the Primal Chaos Realm. It was as though he had never appeared.    

Qin Xuan looked to Chu Feng and the rest and asked, "The Great Sage asked us to agree, do you all have any objections?"    

"Of course not, True Lord Taishang would definitely not harm us." Moreover, if this matter was really as the Grand Sage had said, then the Devil Nest would contain the inheritance of the Saint Rebirth as well as the crystal of reincarnation, so of course they would do their best to help Duan Chengtian obtain it.    

The Reincarnation Crystal was a divine object from the Nine Mystical Star Region that contained supreme divine powers. If the evil races invaded the Nine Mystical Star Region in the future, the Reincarnation Crystal would be of great use to them.    

Based on this alone, they ought to help the Duan Clan.    

"We will listen to the True Lord." Mo Lishang, Chu Feng, Murong Guangzhao, and Li Mubai replied at the same time. They were extremely respectful towards True Lord Taishang. Since he had already spoken, even if there was danger in the Devil's Cave, they still had to give it a try.    

Seeing that everyone had agreed to the matter, a brilliant smile appeared on Qin Xuan's face. He said, "Since that's the case, I will go and tell Duan Ling Tian about this and have him make the arrangements."    

"Sure." Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation. They wondered if they would be able to personally witness the glory of Empyrean Samsara in the Devil Nest!
