Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Return of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin

"You are always so agreeable."

The Grandmaster of Heaven shook his head with a smile. He was very curious about Qin Jun and asked, "What is the background of this Heavenly Emperor of Qin? From what I’ve heard from the outside world, it seems that unparalleled experts always emerge from beneath his command."

Upon the mention of Qin Jun, even a Divine Emperor’s greatest rage had to be contained. He sighed and said, "The background of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin is not simple, even the Qiuming Emperor has appeared to warn me."

The Qiuming Emperor!

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s brow furrowed deeply. Having arrived in this universe some time ago, he naturally heard many mythical legends.

The Qiuming Emperor is a figure from ancient mythology.

He didn’t ask why the Qiuming Emperor was still alive; instead, he huffed, "So it turns out that the Qiuming Emperor stands behind the Heavenly Emperor of Qin."

The Divine Emperor, being a mid-stage Sage Realm existence, dreaded the Qiuming Emperor, which illustrated the astounding might of the Qiuming Emperor.

Moreover, the Divine Emperor once mentioned that the Holy Sect had five Sages, among whom one had even reached the late stage of the Sage Realm and could wield the power of the Heavenly Dao. Despite this, they all perished at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, and so the Grandmaster of Heaven had no impulse to trouble the Heavenly Emperor of Qin.

"It seems I have no choice but to journey to the ancient paths of the Divine Emperors," he reflected.

Ambition flickered in the eyes of the Grandmaster of Heaven. The fall of the Jie Sect in his previous life had left him dissatisfied.

This time, he wanted to recreate the Jie Sect.

Upon learning of the inner universe’s existence, he no longer wished to remain in the outer universe.

He intended to venture to the inner universe and restore the grandeur of the Grandmaster of Heaven.

"Are you really going?" The Divine Emperor said with a complex tone. "Your cultivation might be unmatched in the outer universe, but upon entering the inner universe, you’ll only just pass for first-rate."

The Divine Emperor harbored complicated feelings towards the inner universe, which held memories he couldn’t part with and also represented a hometown he dared not revisit.

The Grandmaster of Heaven turned away, leaving behind a single remark before departing.

"I came to bid you farewell, originally wishing to invite you along. Now, it seems, forget it."

Watching the Grandmaster of Heaven’s retreating figure, the Divine Emperor’s face showed an unwillingness to let go, but he ultimately sighed.

"I hope you won’t regret this!" he muttered to himself. Then, he too vanished from the spot, preparing to search for Di Tianwu.

...

Boom!

Qin Jun only felt a roaring in his ears and upon opening his eyes, found himself deep within a mysterious cave, with Fuxi, Torch Dragon, and others behind him. As for Qiang Liang, Taiyi Demon Ancestor, and Ji Bubai, they were no longer there.

"Are we back?"

Qin Jun let out a breath and couldn’t help but survey his surroundings, finding the teleportation array here perfectly preserved without the slightest damage.

In the future, this place could be protected and become a passage between the Heavenly Court of Great Qin and the inner universe.

"It is indeed the Xuandang universe; I can already sense the presence of the ancient immortal domains. Your Majesty, shall we head straight back?"

Fuxi bowed with a smile, also somewhat excited.

Returning to the Heavenly Court of Great Qin as a Sage— what a chance to show off!

Qin Jun nodded, saying, "Let’s go back, and remember this place. We’ll send people later to guard it."

"Yes!"

Fuxi nodded, and the others were equally invigorated.

Torch Dragon took three steps forward, turned to Qin Jun with a smile, and said, "Young Qin, I must return. If I do not go back now, the Evil Resentment Power within me will erupt."

Evil Resentment Power?

Qin Jun looked at him intently and said with a smile, "If you join the Heavenly Court of Great Qin, I will help you escape from the Qiuming Abyss!"

Torch Dragon paused, then waved off the offer with a smile, "We can talk about it another time!"

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the cave’s exit.

"Hold on, you have not yet told me your real name!" Qin Jun called out, clearly aware that Torch Dragon was an alias, and he had always been curious about Torch Dragon’s true identity.

At that, Torch Dragon uttered three words, "Chang Sun Shang."

As his voice faded, he disappeared from sight.

Qin Jun stood there, stunned for a long moment, before he finally let out an expletive, "Damn! The Xuan Emperor, Chang Sun Shang!"

Xuan Emperor had made quite a name for himself in the Xuandang universe of the Human Clan as one of its ancestors.

The key point was that he had been the previous owner of the Wheel of Fate!

Just how abnormal the Wheel of Fate was, he knew all too well.

Combining what the Su Emperor and the Primordial God had said, Qin Jun speculated he might likely rely on the Wheel of Fate to travel to the ancient past.

If that were the case, why couldn’t Xuan Emperor do the same?

Could there be a limit to the time-travel capabilities of the Wheel of Fate?

Up until now, he hadn’t completely deciphered the Wheel of Fate, which hovered quietly beside the Dao Fruit of the Ziwei Emperor Star.

"Your Majesty, we’re ready to leave."

Fuxi saw that Qin Jun was lost in thought and thus reminded him.

Qin Jun nodded, looked back, and saw that everyone was there; Tathāgata was being supported by Torch Dragon and had not yet awoken.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Jun said gravely, for now, it was time to conquer the Xuandang universe!

Once he unified the Xuandang universe, he would then turn his sights toward the inner universes, ensuring that the flags of the Heavenly Court of Qin were fluttering in all worlds and realms.

...

In the Ancient Immortal Star Domain, within the grand Heavenly City of Qin.

Immortal officials and divine generals of the fifth rank and above were gathering towards the Heavenly Emperor Peak, walking along the mountain path, whispering among themselves.

"Has His Majesty returned?"

"Yes, who else could convene a Holy Meeting?"

"Why wasn’t there any news? Wasn’t it said that His Majesty was lost in the spatial-temporal turbulence?"

"His Majesty’s return signifies that the Demon League, Yang Beiming, and Nether River Ancestral Patriarch don’t amount to much!"

"Hahaha, my Great Heavenly Court of Qin will last eternally, and the universe will sooner or later be ours!"

The immortal officials and divine generals were all bubbling with excitement, as after Qin Jun’s great battle with the Holy Sect, which had led to the fracturing of the Holy Realm, the external universe was thrown into unrest.

Some forces dreaded the power displayed by the Heavenly Court of Qin.

However, there were always some forces spreading rumors that the Heavenly Emperor of Qin had died, leading the Heavenly Court of Qin to frequently suffer attacks from all sides, with wars large and small never ceasing.

But now, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin had returned!

Inside the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Li Yuanba, Fuxi, Patriarch Bodhi, Houtu, Torch Dragon, True Person of the Jade Cauldron were all surrounded by a crowd.

"Second brother! Sister Houtu!"

Di Jiang excitedly patted Torch Dragon’s shoulder. Fire God, Kua Fu, Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Qiang Liang were all equally thrilled.

Houtu smiled gently, neither distant nor overly familiar.

Torch Dragon laughed, "So you really were here."

His time following Qin Jun had broadened his horizons massively, such that his past glories now seemed insignificant; hence, seeing Di Jiang and the others, he wasn’t too excited.

"I am now a saint! Are you envious?"

Li Yuanba boasted to Yuan Hong, Luo Shixin, Yang Zaixing, and others with a laugh.

Sun Wukong crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, "You’re still weaker than me!"

The surrounding divine generals gasped in wonder, never having imagined that they had truly become saints.

True Person of the Jade Cauldron gathered with Perfected Person, Manjusri Wide Law Heavenly Venerable, Taoist Heavenly Venerable, and other disciples of the Chan Sect, looking proud as a peacock when mentioning his disciple, Yang Jian.

The entire hall burst into a scene of merriment.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi stood in a corner, watching these saints with extremely complex expressions on their faces.

"Do you see? If you remain stubborn and refuse to see reason, you won’t even have the qualifications to join the Heavenly Court of Qin in the future."

Di Jun tried to sway Donghuang Taiyi once more, his loyalty to Qin Jun unyielding, his heart brimming with the desire to serve.

Donghuang Taiyi remained silent, yet inside, he was greatly stirred.

The saints of previous lives, unreachable and high above, and now the Heavenly Court of Qin already had several; how could his heart not be moved?
