Peerless God Emperor

Although the Master of the Heavenly Palace was already at an extremely high position, ruling the vast and boundless territory, and could be considered a powerful lord, Ling Xiao's ambition was extremely great. He still wanted to go a step further. If he had the chance to go to the Divine King Palace of the Great Luo Heaven to cultivate, he would have hope of stepping into that realm in the future and becoming a peak figure.    

In the eyes of those peak figures, the Master of the Heavenly Palace was nothing. He was just one of the many subordinates of the Divine King, and his status was very ordinary. If he had the chance to choose, he would give up everything he had now without hesitation.    

However, what disappointed Ling Xiao was that Qin Xuan's attitude towards him was very casual, as if he did not take his words to heart.    

Ling Xiao originally thought that Qin Xuan treated everyone so coldly and arrogantly, but Qin Xuan was completely different from Celestial Venerate Star Constellation and the others. He took the initiative to greet them as if they were friends. This immediately gave him a huge sense of disparity, and he even began to doubt himself.    

He, a dignified Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace, was actually inferior to his subordinate?    

Or was it that Qin Xuan saw through his thoughts and deliberately treated him coldly?    

Although there were many thoughts in his mind, Ling Xiao was naturally not an ordinary person. He stood quietly at the side and did not say a word.    

Being a good companion was like being a good tiger. At this moment, he had made a lot of mistakes. Now, Qin Xuan's impression of him was already very ordinary. If he did something that displeased him, then his future would be difficult.    

Qin Xuan naturally did not know that Ling Xiao had so many thoughts in his mind. If he knew, his attitude would have been even colder, and he might have even ordered Ling Xiao Heavenly Palace's Palace Lord to be dismissed.    

The master of the Heavenly Palace was a leader of a plane. He should have placed the matters of the plane at the top of his mind and tried his best to help his subordinate forces to strengthen their strength, not to gain personal benefits. If he did not distinguish between public and private, he would not be worthy of sitting on that position.    

"How has the development of the Seven Sword Mountain been?" Qin Xuan looked at Xuan Yuntian and asked with a smile. Although he was already a Divine King, he was still very concerned about the Seven Sword Mountain. After all, he was the sword son of the Seven Sword Mountain.    

"Very good. We have absorbed a lot of outstanding disciples over the years, and there are also many people from other regions who came to our sect. In addition, Tai Ah and Xuanyuan have also become Heavenly Venerates. They are currently in seclusion, so they did not come," Xuan Yuntian replied with a smile.    

Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a smile. When he had just gone to the Seven Sword Mountain, there was not even a single Heavenly Venerate. There was internal strife and external troubles. Now that there were several Heavenly Venerates overseeing the Seven Sword Mountain, it should be the most powerful force in the current Crimson Gold Origin Heaven. They had finally achieved the Seven Sword Heavenly Venerate's wish.    

"It's all thanks to the Divine King taking care of us. Otherwise, the Seven Sword Mountain would never have come to this day," the Seven Star Heavenly Venerate said with a grateful expression. Xuan Yuntian and the Pure Jun Heavenly Venerate nodded in agreement. After Qin Xuan had gone to the Seven Sword Mountain, the Seven Sword Mountain had gradually become glorious. This luck came from Qin Xuan.    

Qin Xuan smiled. Perhaps it was really because of him. However, if the Seven Sword Mountain did not have a sufficient foundation, it would definitely not have been able to reach this day. It was just that it lacked an opportunity.    

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Back then, Sky Dream Sovereign had asked him to go to the Seven Sword Mountain. Was it her own decision, or was it Fen Old Master's?    

At this moment, a middle-aged figure walked out from the crowd and knelt in front of Qin Xuan with a thump. He said in a deep voice, "Sinner Nangong Ting, I beg the Divine King to forgive me."    

The figure that knelt was the Nangong Imperial Lord of the Southern Heaven Dynasty.    

The space suddenly became quiet. The surrounding crowd all looked at Nangong Ting. Chu Feng, Mo Lishang, and the others had extremely cold expressions on their faces. They naturally would not forget what Nangong Ting had done to them in the Netherworld. If not for the restrictions of the batches of trials, it would have been very difficult for them to survive.    

Now that Qin Xuan had become the Divine King, he wanted to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness to resolve the enmity?    

He was too naive.    

Qin Xuan looked at Nangong Ting indifferently. He had already put the matter of that year to the back of his mind. A mere Southern Heaven Dynasty did not have the qualifications to be in his heart. However, Nangong Ting had to pay the price for what he had done back then. Otherwise, it would be unfair to Chu Feng and the others.    

"The matter of that year has already passed. I don't want to implicate too much, so I can exempt you from the death penalty. However, it is difficult to escape the punishment of living. You can cripple your cultivation." Qin Xuan said indifferently.    

When he heard Qin Xuan say that he could be spared from death, Nangong Ting's heart was instantly filled with joy. However, when he heard the next sentence, his face immediately stiffened. Then, his face turned ashen, and endless despair appeared in his heart.    

For him to cripple his own cultivation, this was even more unbearable than killing him.    

From a high and mighty emperor, he had fallen into a cripple. No one would be able to accept such a huge difference in status. He would rather die than be humiliated like this.    

"Back down," Qin Xuan said indifferently. He was too lazy to waste his breath on Nangong Ting.    

Nangong Ting dragged his exhausted body and left. Everyone could feel the loneliness in his body, but they did not feel any sympathy in their hearts. This was the result of his own actions. No one could blame him.    

Qin Xuan looked at Chu Feng, Mo Lishang, and the others. He smiled and said, "All of you can go back. I'll look for you guys again in a while."    

"Alright." Everyone nodded, and then left with their own forces.    

After Dongfang Ling and Duan Chengtian bid farewell to Qin Xuan, they went to the places where the Devouring Ancient Clan and the Reincarnation Ancient Clan were. Now that their identities had been recognized by the Ancestor, they could naturally return openly. No one dared to say anything to them.    

Qin Xuan's gaze swept across the crowd. When he saw a black-clothed woman at the edge of the crowd, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Why was she here?    

"Qianning," Qin Xuan said. The black-clothed woman was naturally Qin Qianning.    

Hearing Qin Xuan's gaze on her, Qin Qianning's beautiful face slightly changed, as if she was at a loss. She then slowly walked forward and bowed to Qin Xuan, "Greetings, Godking."    

"There is no need for you to be so formal with me." Qin Xuan's tone was gentle, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes. Although he had not seen Qin Qianning many times, he had always treated her as a junior. He felt very cordial when he saw her here.    

Qin Qianning lowered her head, not daring to look straight into Qin Xuan's eyes.    

"Back then, I met your father. He said that you came to the Divine Realm and asked me to help you find him. Have you contacted your father in the past few years?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

"Father …" Qin Qianning's heart trembled slightly. She did not know how to face her father. He hid her identity, sealed her memories, and made her live like a puppet. Should she be grateful or resentful?    

She did not know the answer, so she chose to escape to the Divine Realm, wanting to cut off all ties from then on.    

However, the reality was not what she had thought. Even though they were separated by an endless distance, she would still think of that figure from time to time, unable to get rid of it.    

Seemingly seeing through Qin Qianning's internal conflict, Qin Xuan sighed in his heart and said, "Cultivate by my side first. When you think it through, I'll take you to see him again."    

Qin Qianning still did not speak. She only nodded slightly. She was willing to follow Qin Xuan, but the memories of her childhood and the memories of her adulthood intertwined, causing her to feel very conflicted. She did not know how to get along with Qin Xuan.    

But she was very certain that Qin Xuan was her relative and would not harm her. That was why she came to the Tianxuan Army. She knew that she would be able to find Qin Xuan.    

"Let's go back to Seven Swords Mountain." Qin Xuan looked at Yan Qingyun and Duan Ruoxi and said. He had been away for too long and wanted to go back and see his parents and old friends.    

......    

In the eastern region of Seven Swords City, there were many palaces that were as tall as clouds. They were a very prosperous group of palaces that were arranged in an orderly manner.    

In the center of the palace, Qin Xuan was chatting with his family. The scene was extremely warm and beautiful.    

"Teacher, Mistress, let me toast to you." Qin Xuan raised his cup and said to the middle-aged couple in front of him. It was Ximen Guyan and Zhuge Shiyu.    

"Now that you are a God King, how can we accept your toast?" Ximen Guyan smiled and waved his hand. His eyes were filled with gratification. His disciple was the king of the God Realm. His Master was naturally very proud.    

"So what if you are a God King? No matter when or where, I am your disciple. Without Master's care, how could I have reached where I am today?" Qin Xuan said with a sincere expression. In his heart, Ximen Guyan was both a teacher and a father. He had given too much effort for him. He would never be able to repay him.    

No matter how high his cultivation level was, he was still a disciple in front of Ximen Guyan. This point would never change.    

"You're right. He is indeed my son." Qin Lei laughed proudly. Then, he looked at Ximen Guyan and his wife and said, "He is also your son. There is no need to care about etiquette."    

Ximen Guyan and Zhuge Shiyu looked at each other, then the two of them raised their wine cups and drank it all in one gulp. Their faces were filled with brilliant smiles.    

"Father-in-law, let me toast you." Qin Xuan looked at another middle-aged man and said with a smile. Naturally, it was Yan Qingfeng.    

"Good son-in-law, I knew I didn't see the wrong person." Yan Qingfeng smiled with a gratified expression. Then, he raised his cup and drank it all.    

"Now that you are a God King, you have the heavy responsibility of protecting the people of the God Realm. It is not easy." Qin Lei looked at Qin Xuan and said with a guilty expression. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that our cultivation is low and we can't help you. We can only watch you bear everything alone."    

Ximen Guyan, Yan Qingfeng, and the others' expressions also dimmed a little. They had been working hard to cultivate since they came to the God Realm, but their talent was limited. Until now, they had barely reached the peak of Saint Stage. They were still at the lowest level in the God Realm and could not provide any help to Qin Xuan. Instead, they were his burdens.    

Now that Qin Xuan was a high and mighty God King, they were the lowest level ordinary people. They did not know what the others would think if they knew.    

"We want to return to Tianxuan to enjoy our old age. There is no need to worry about danger there. We also have many friends to accompany us. We can play chess with each other more easily and freely than here." Qin Lei said with a smile.    

Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart sank. How could he not understand Qin Lei's true thoughts? He did not want to stay in the Divine World to make him worry, so he wanted to return to the Tianxuan World. However, if he was away from his children, how could he have true happiness?    

Suddenly thinking of something, Qin Xuan said, "When the time comes, I will go to the Divine King Palace. You guys can accompany me. This way, you can see me more often and don't have to worry about being in danger."    

"Divine King Palace." Qin Lei and the others' expressions froze at the same time. Then, they roughly guessed what it was. Was that the place where the Divine King lived?    

"Can we go?" Mu Shuirou asked softly. With their cultivation, if they stayed in the Divine King Palace, they would probably attract a lot of people's discussion.    

Seeming to know what Mu Shuirou was thinking, Qin Xuan said with a smile, "If the Divine King's parents can't go, who else can go?"    

"If we can go to the Divine King Palace and live there, those old guys will be envious." Yan Qingfeng laughed. He naturally also yearned for the Divine King Palace. That was the Divine King's bedroom, the most sacred place in the Divine World.    

"After we go to the Divine King Palace, I will arrange some guards to protect your safety. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want, without any restrictions." Qin Xuan smiled. In the past, his status was not strong enough, so he could not let his family have fun in the Divine World. Now that he had the ability, he naturally had to make up for it.    

After hearing Qin Xuan's words, Qin Lei and the others were filled with anticipation. They had been in the Divine World for decades, and they had been staying in the Seven Swords Divine Realm for a few times. They were afraid of provoking trouble.    

Now, they could finally enjoy themselves.    

......    

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.    

During this half a month, Qin Xuan spent most of his time accompanying his family in the Seven Swords City. Occasionally, he would chat with the True Lord of Holy Greatness, old man Tianji, Wasteland Lord, Dragon Lord, and other seniors. During this time, he also went to the Seven Swords Mountain to meet with the Peak Masters and some of his friends.    

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such a comfortable life. Time passed very quickly in these days.    

On this day, an old man appeared outside Qin Xuan's palace. He had a white beard and white hair, and he looked like a transcendent being.    

After the old man appeared, Qin Xuan walked out of the palace and said with a smile, "Fen Old Master."    

"Can we leave now?" Fen Old Master asked with a smile.    

"I want to bring my family with me. I don't feel at ease leaving them here," Qin Xuan said.    

"Of course, there are plenty of palaces in the Divine King Palace. The cultivation environment there is also much better than here. It will be extremely beneficial to their cultivation." Fen Old Master said with a smile.    

"That's great." Qin Xuan smiled. Then with a thought, he sent a voice transmission to Duan Ruoxi and Yan Qingyun, asking them to bring their elders here.    

Not long after, a group of people walked towards them. Yan Qingyun and Duan Ruoxi were at the front, followed by Qin Lei, Ximen Guyan, and the others.    

"Thank you for taking care of Qin Xuan all these years. We are unable to repay you, so we can only bow to you," Qin Lei said gratefully to Fen Old Master. After saying that, he was about to bow to Fen Old Master. Fen Old Master waved his hand, and an invisible force supported his body, preventing him from bowing.    

"I am willing to do this for his own good. I do not ask for anything in return. In my heart, he is also my junior," Fen Old Master said with a gentle expression.    

Qin Lei and the others nodded. They believed that Fen Old Master truly treated Qin Xuan as his junior. Otherwise, he would not have done his best to help him ascend to the throne of the Divine King.    

It was normal to treat his junior well. There was no need for others to repay him!
