Mu Rong Qianji and his daughter took a day tour at the Aspiring Throne Mountain. After the tour, they returned to the guest house and settled down. Of course, Qin Wushuang served them from left to right.
Just when he send off Mu Rong Qianji to the guest house, Elder Guan Qi found Qin Wushuang and said: “Wushuang, the Third Chief is asking you to head to the Upright Morality Hall.”
Mu Rong Qianji found it to be somewhat strange. Had they not just separated a moment ago? However, Qin Wushuang knew what was going on as he said to Mu Rong Qianji: “Lord Mu Rong, you could rest, I am going to meet with the Chief.”
Although Mu Rong Qianji had no idea what was going on, he did not ask: “Go ahead, no need to worry here.”
He followed Guan Qi to arrive at the Upright Morality Hall and walked it. Yet, there was only Qin Chongyang by himself. Qin Chongyang appeared to be contented for he had revealed an incredibly relaxed expression. He was not in a position as if the storm was brewing.
Qin Wushuang walked in unobtrusively.
Qin Chongyang revealed a leisure smile: “Wushuang, did Lord Mu Rong enjoyed his day?”
Qin Wushuang never expected that the Third Chief used this topic to open the conversation.
“Lord Mu Rong had been beaming with smiles, he should have enjoyed to his heart’s content. The matter of how th Floating Snow House forming alliance with the Qin Clan is something where Lord Mu Rong had expected for a long time.”
Qin Chongyang chuckled: “Yes, with Lord Mu Rong visiting this time, we must not neglect him, being our VIP guest. Tomorrow the Second Chief will invite Lord Mu Rong to tour his mansion and comprehend some training knowledge. Wushuang, do you understand the intention of the Second Chief?”
“Could it be that the Second Chief is going to help Lord Mu Rong comprehend the Supreme Dao?” Qin Wushuang was moved.
Qin Chongyang did not conceal this fact: “Yes, in the current Xuan Yuan Mound, there are many Supreme Dao warriors. In addition to the unfathomable totem clan, most of the other Supreme Dao warriors are at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. Besides them, the other four first-rate houses had the Supreme Dao warriors.”
Qin Wushuang had a somewhat knowledge to these situations as he nodded.
“Besides the Supreme Dao warriors, there would be elite warriors at the peak of the Common Mysterious stage. There are at least twenty people at the peak of the Common Mysterious in Xuan Yuan Mound. However, only four or five are the most hopeful to enter the Supreme Dao per public opinion. Mu Rong Qianji and Luo Tongtian are among them.”
Qin Wushuang was looking pensive. To him, these two names were two distinct extremes. One of them was the father of his loved one, and the other one was his sworn enemy.
“Luo Tongtian was already bribed by the Heavenly Punishing Villa. Certainly they will act in collusion. If we let Luo Tongtian enter the Supreme Dao, the Heavenly Punishing Villa, Sound of Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect will surely work together to deal with the Qin Clan.” Qin Chongyang’s tone was also incredibly grave. “Therefore, it’s crucial for the Floating Snow House to form alliance with the Qin Clan. The fact of which one of Lord Mu Rong and Luo Tongtian enters the Supreme Dao first is also crucial. Even if we cannot seize the first step, we must not be later than Luo Tongtian. Or else, perhaps a major change would occur at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!”
Even if one does not speak of the huge change, Qin Wushuang knew what was going to happen. Of course, a war would explode.
“If Lord Mu Rong took the first step, or he was no slower than Luo Tongtian?” Qin Wushuang asked.
Qin Chongyang gave a long sigh: “It’s possible the current situation will be maintained. Perhaps, it will preserve until seventeen years after.”
Seventeen years after?
Why would it be exactly seventeen-years after? Qin Wushuang appeared somewhat confused.
Qin Chongyang said with a smile: “Wushuang, the trend of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain would have a reincarnation ever five hundred years. Do you know why?”
“With the Heavenly Emperor at seat, they would change every five hundred years. Right?”
A surge of vital energy was flashing inside the eyes of Qin Chongyang. He laughed: “Yes, it changes every five hundred years. The replacement of Heavenly Emperor would be the climax of this five hundred year pageant. During this five hundred year pageant, some people would cry, some would laugh among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. Some would leave, and some would come in.”
“Oh? Third Chief, do you mean that the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate would also compete with each other for elimination?”
“That’s right! The Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate are all places of good fortune as everyone takes turns to sit on it. However, there are not many regulars like the Qin Clan. At the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, only the Qin, the Xin and the Yun Clan has reside at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate since the immemorial time. We were never out. The other five seats had replacements more or less.”
From the immemorial tradition until present, at least a few tens and thousands of years had passed. That five hundred year pageant would have occurred a few dozen or several hundredth of times. Most likely, it would be close to two hundred times since it was held.
Per the tens and thousands years of tradition, it was not easy for one not be removed. When Qin Wushuang heard to this point, suddenly, he was moved: “Yun clan?”
“Yes, Yun Clan. At the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, the Yun Clan was the one that had seated at the Heavenly Emperor position the most. Then, it would be the Qin Clan. The Xin Clan ranked third.”
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang remembered that he had once met a senior elite warrior at the Monkey King Mountain. His name was Yun Xuechen and his strength was of profound mystery.
“Wushuang what’s wrong?” When Qin Chongyang saw movements within Qin Wushuang’s brows, he knew that something was wrong.
“Third Chief, at the Yun Clan, is there a senior named Yun Xuechen?” Qin Wushuang could not but help to ask.
“Yun Xuechen?” Qin Chongyang was stunned, “You know Yun Xuechen?”
“It’s like this…” Qin Wushuang did not conceal the fact and explained how he had met Yun Xuechen at the Monkey King Mountain. He also did not hide the fact of how Yun Xuechen passed a divine skill to him.
Listened with a solemn expression, Qin Chongyang’s face had slowly relaxed when he heard to the later part. Revealing a trace of smile, he said: “Wushuang, this Yun Xuechen is indeed, the elite warrior of the Yun Clan. His strength, ha ha!”
Qin Wushuang asked curiously: “How is his strength?”
“I am afraid it’s difficult to differentiate from the Second Chief.” Qin Chongyang said with a long sigh: “Now the Second Chief is close to three thousand years. Do you know how old is that Yun Xuechen?”
“He said he was an acquaintance with ancestor Qin Yu, then he should not be more than six hundred years old right?”
“Yes! This Yun Xuechen is only about five hundred years old.” Qin Chongyang was also extremely impressed at Yun Xuechen as he praised him, “It has been four hundred years since he entered the Supreme Dao. It means that he had entered the Supreme Dao before he was one hundred years old!”
Perhaps, Qin Wushuang would not find it significant of the fact to enter the Supreme Dao within a hundred years old. However, at the Xuan Yuan Mound, a Supreme Dao warrior aged about a hundred years old was definitely a legendary existence.
If a martial artist had entered the Supreme Dao within one hundred years old, surely he would become a generation of legend at the Xuan Yuan Mound. He would become the figure of that era.
He would be as legendary as that Yun Xuechen. Only, that Yun Xuechen was naturally quiet and contented for he disliked showing off. Therefore, his reputation in the outside world had not reached the height he was supposedly to earned.
However, the fact that he do not put much emphasize for personal reputation did not mean he does not deserve his reputation. At his age, he would already not lose to those Supreme Dao warriors of thousand years old. The talent reserved inside of him could not be strove by ordinary Supreme Dao warriors.
Upon seeing Qin Wushuang not as surprised, Qin Chongyang could not but help to smile: “Wushuang, do you think that it’s nothing to enter the Supreme Dao at hundred years old?”
Qin Wushuang truly had no concept of it. After all, he was only at the Profound Void Martial Stage and far away from that Supreme Dao.
“Third Chief, I have never made my way to the Supreme Dao. I don’t know the concept of the Supreme Dao. However, hearing the way you spoke it, he should be extremely exceptional?”
Qin Chongyang gave a long sigh: “He’s incredibly outstanding. Wushuang, if you can aim for the Supreme Dao within one hundred years old, certainly you will make history in the Qin Clan.”
“What do you think, are you confident?” Qin Chongyang asked with a chuckle. He did not put on much arrogance of a Chief when talking to a young man like Qin Wushuang.
“Ha ha, for now I do not dare to talk big. However, since you have such expectation, I must work hard and aim for it no matter what happens.”
“Yes, if you maintain your previous training speed, there is hope. However, don’t be blindly optimistic. It’s not difficult to enter before the Perfect Void Martial Stage. However, it’s incredibly difficult to enter from the Perfect Void Martial Stage to the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary. There would be trials and tribulations to upgrade from the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary to the Supreme Dao. Among one billion martial artists, sometimes not even one Supreme Dao warrior would appear.”
This could be seen from the situation from the different sects at the Xuan Yuan Mound. Not to talk about those far away ones, just by looking at the Qin Clan, there are hundreds of core disciples and people at the level of Elder.
However, at the level of the Honored Warrior, there are only twelve people.
The requirement to be at the Elder was the Perfect Void Martial Stage. The requirement for the Honored Warrior would be the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary. Regardless those being at the Profound Void Martial Stage or the Common Mysterious stage, they would be qualified to be at the Honored Warrior.
There were twelve Honored Warriors. Yet, only three were at the Supreme Dao. It was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Therefore, the more as one upgrades the strength, the greater the difficulty. The difficulty level does not rise at the speed of factor of one or two times, but ten, hundredth and even thousand times or even more.
Qin Wushuang was not to be unduly humble. He felt that it would not be a problem for him to charge for the Supreme Dao. Only, he must walk the road step by step and eat with one mouthful after another. As for the exact time to enter the Supreme Dao, he truly could not estimate it. However, he had the confidence to go for it within the one hundred years old frame.
After all, he was only a little more than twenty-years old now. He even have a number of years before he was thirty!
“Wushuang, I think I don’t need to speak any of the encouraging words. You have a firm resolution, not hidebound by convention, good, great…” When Qin Chongyang said to this point, some mischievous smile spilled from the corner of his mouth.
“Wushuang, today Honored Warrior Zhi Huai complained to me for a few times today. He said you are being condescending and did not put him in the eye.”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. After going around the topic with such a curve, they were finally speaking about the main topic. However, since he already made up his mind, it would not matter. He said with an indifferent tone: “Certainly Honored Warrior Zhi Huai has listened to the words of his prized disciple right? If only heeding to one side, one will be benighted. Honored Warrior Zhi Huai will not get influenced by Qin Shaohong’s one-sided words, for that would not seem to be the breadth of mind a Honored Warrior should have.”
“Ha, you kid, you are always old and decrepit. Don’t worry, everyone has a clear mind of Qin Shaohong’s style. This matter, there are a few that sided with Zhi Huai. However, in terms of the general situation, everyone did not mind. Everyone also knew that Honored Warrior Zhi Huai is overprotective. Now I will only ask you one question, you sure you are going forward with this battle?”
“I am just afraid you will not agree to it.” Qin Wushuang half joked.
Qin Chongyang laughed: “You are rather crafty. Since you issued it, of course me and Second Chief will escort you.”
“Then please rest assure. For this battle, you will get the expected result.”
“Oh? There are expected result?” Qin Chongyang said with a profound tone.
“Third Chief should know better than me the atmosphere of the Ascending Dragon Slope. If this battle could break those unhealthy atmosphere, what would matter even if I was defeated?” Qin Wushuang said these cynical remarks.
Qin Chongyang laughed: “Since you said it this way, I have nothing to worry about. It’s because I know better than anyone that you will not lose. Qin Shaohong, ah, this kid does have good talent. Unfortunately, the way how Honored Warrior Zhi Huai nurtured him is questionable. It’s good sharpen on grindstone.”
After he had finished, he jokingly instructed him: “Wushuang, although on the surface it’s a life and death battle, you better not put life at risk. You need to stop before going too far. If you want to win everyone to your side, you must seize this degree. Perhaps, everyone would love to see you thwart the temperament of Qin Shaohong, they would never be willing to see true life and death killing occur within the Qin Clan.”
Qin Wushuang said coldly: “I’m just afraid that Qin Shaohong would not be willing to think of it this way.”
“Even if he does not want, what would happen? Don’t tell me that Qin Shaohong can breakthrough your Supreme Dao shield? You kid, you are already undefeated with the Supreme Dao shield. It would be a draw no matter how he fight.” Qin Chongyang shook his head helplessly, “Seize this chance and perform well. This time, I will build you a great stage for you to fly upwards swiftly and to set off you. Initially, I thought it would take time. Unexpectedly, a chance had appeared now! Wushuang, perhaps this battle would be of little significance, surely it would be a battle to reveal your talent! Regarding how your position would be like at the Qin Clan, this battle will set the foundation!”
Qin Wushuang laughed as he understand it thoroughly.
Qin Chongyang no longer spoke anything else: “Go back to the Ascending Dragon Slope. Tomorrow, the Upright Morality Hall will gather all core members. Let’s see this battle of yours be the opening curtain show for this great gathering. Wushuang, if you can win this battle, you will get a ticket to the Illusion Heavenly Lake, go make an all-out efforts!”
