Boom!
Just as many cultivators here were filled with worry and uneasiness, a terrifying roar suddenly erupted from the end of the stairs, accompanied by a deafening divine light that seemed to pierce through the very fabric of heaven and earth.
This sound instantly captivated everyone present.
At that moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and their steps, looking up in horror at the end of the stairs.
They didn't know what was happening up there, but there was no doubt a terrifying battle had occurred.
Then, a black figure flew out from the top, followed closely by a slender figure in a hazy white robe. The two of them stood on a step that could crush most people.
Qin Tian, clad in white, exuded a powerful aura, flowing with endless immortal light and chaotic energy. He stood tall in mid-air like a young immortal emperor, making people want to kneel down and bow.
In his eyes, the universe seemed to evolve, radiating immortal energy and the boundless depths of the starry sky. A terrifying aura permeated the entire place.
Lan Lin also exuded a terrifying and eerie aura. Her white hair fluttered, her black robes solemn. A trace of blood trickled from the crimson corner of her mouth, her beautiful face utterly stunning.
This scene horrified all the cultivators.
Did Lan Lin and Qin Tian fight?
Lan Lin was of the Qilin lineage, a sacred beast, and a benefactor to humanity. Qin Tian was humanity's strongest of the current generation. Why would they fight?
Could it be that the inheritance of the Eight-Star Emperor at the pinnacle had caused a dispute between the two, leading to the brawl?
After all, Lan Lin was the descendant of the Qilin Emperor, and this Qilin Enlightenment Field was left to her by her father. Logically, everything here belonged to her.
Furthermore, Lan Lin's talent and bloodline surpassed countless geniuses and demons, arguably unmatched.
From birth, she was destined to stand at the top, crushing her peers. She truly possessed a talent unmatched throughout the ages.
Now, even though they were both at the Saint Realm, they were no match for Qin Tian and were sent flying with a single blow.
All the cultivators were stunned, feeling that Qin Tian was incredibly powerful.
Even the descendants of the Qilin Emperor were no match for him.
"Qin Tian, why did you attack Lan Lin!"
"Do you know what you're doing? For the sake of the Eight-Star Emperor's inheritance, you actually dared to attack a Qilin. You're incredibly brave!"
Many of the Immortal descendants and geniuses of the Great Thousand Dao Realm expressed fear or caution, vaguely siding with Lan Lin.
Because throughout human history, the Qilin clan has sacrificed so much for humanity. As the last Qilin in the world, Lan Lin naturally commands everyone's trust and protection.
"Qin Tian, what do you mean by this? We have no grudges against each other. I wanted to share the Eight-Star Emperor's inheritance with you, but you attacked me!"
Lan Lin asked furiously. She was now covered in blood and had several broken bones. Qin Tian's strength was far greater than she had imagined. Fortunately, everyone was suppressed to the Sage Realm, otherwise she might not have been able to confront him head-on.
Even with the field suppressing his cultivation, Qin Tian's physical form still terrified her.
As a member of the Qilin bloodline, no one could suppress her bloodline, yet Qin Tian's overwhelming strength made her scalp tingle.
Especially with the Chaos Body, which was invulnerable to all attacks and techniques. Many magical powers were completely ineffective against Qin Tian, unable to even harm him.
So, she planned to use the people here to buy time for the immortality elixir to mature, causing the place to collapse and sacrificing everyone.
After hearing Lan Lin's words, everyone instantly turned their attention to Qin Tian. "You rascal girl, no grudges? Why would you plot against us, trick us here, close the passage, and even plan to bury us all here?" Qin Tian said casually.
"Speaking requires evidence. The strangeness here has nothing to do with me."
Lan Lin chuckled and continued, "Ask everyone here, would I harm the human race?"
"Do you believe me or him?" Lan Lin turned and looked at everyone on the stairs.
Everyone was stunned, unsure who to believe, but most were reluctant to believe Lan Lin would plot to exterminate the human race.
"I don't need evidence," Qin Tian chuckled. "I don't need them to believe me. Killing you is enough."
He said it lightly, but it made Lan Lin's face look extremely grim.
She had some affection for Qin Tian. After all, women like strong men, especially powerful women. They especially like men who are stronger than themselves.
Given their one-night stand, Lan Lin had somewhat hoped Qin Tian would side with her, but Qin Tian's words completely extinguished this unrealistic fantasy.
After all, it was just a fondness; their relationship wasn't particularly close or friendly.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Lan Lin's eyes.
"So you're hell-bent on going against me?" Lan Lin's voice was icy cold.
Qin Tian shook his head, his expression remaining calm. "It's not me who's going against you, it's you who's going against us."
Qin Tian knew Lan Lin had been completely bewitched by the contents of the coffin, and words alone wouldn't rouse her. So, he resorted to the simplest and most brutal method.
Beat her up!
"Kill!"
Hearing this, Lan Lin wasted no more words. A divine symbol shone in her eyes, and she suddenly shouted, a stream of golden celestial energy emanating from her mouth.
This golden immortal energy materialized in mid-air—a golden Qilin. Its tail whipped with terrifying gravity, and the void exploded in a terrifying explosion.
"This is the Qilin Imperial Technique!" Many cultivators below couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They recognized this terrifying Imperial Technique, imbued with the Qilin's unparalleled immortal power. They had heard that the Qilin Emperor had once slain the Great Emperor with this technique.
In a trance, everyone saw a Qilin loom behind Lan Lin, towering into the clouds, immense and boundless. Immortal talismans flew, suppressing the heavens.
The Qilin enveloped Lan Lin's entire body. She took the initiative and struck with a punch, covering her entire body. The golden Qilin in the air also rushed forward, capable of devastating a large area, transforming it into a desolate wasteland.
"So powerful!"
"Lan Lin is undoubtedly the strongest of the Saint Realm throughout eternity."
The explosive power Lan Lin unleashed shocked all the cultivators.
The blazing light blinded everyone, causing them to feel an intense pain.
Some even wondered if Qin Tian's legendary invincibility would finally be ended by Lan Lin.
The Qilin charged forward, its fist brimming with golden light bearing down on Qin Tian, a force capable of shattering mountains and rivers and crumbling across vast expanses of land.
A boom!
The void exploded, and a golden Qilin, wild and terrifying, stomped across the sky, a surging force as if carrying the heavens on its back. It suddenly approached, poised to pierce Qin Tian.
Cracks in the void spread, a roaring sound echoing.
A common Sage-level cultivator would be instantly shattered to dust upon contact. This was the terror of the Qilin Imperial Technique.
Even if suppressed to the Sage realm, this single move could annihilate a Saint King.
This was Lan Lin's tyranny!
Qin Tian frowned at the sight of the attacking Qilin. He sensed an ominous aura within it, remarkably similar to the undead matter now engulfing the area, and it made him feel uneasy.
This immortal substance is actually a taboo in the Great Thousand Dao Realm. It's like a pool of black mud, alive but without intelligence, immortal and indestructible.
Some once believed it could grant immortality, but after countless people perished within it, everyone gave up.
After sealing it, no further attention was paid.
I hadn't expected Lan Lin to bring it out, and it seemed she wasn't just using it.
However, Qin Tian didn't dwell on it for long.
The speed of this move was so great, it instantly reached him. The void blurred, and the stairs trembled, as if about to explode!
Bang!
Qin Tian raised his hand and delivered a similar punch. Simultaneously, every cell in his body glowed, and chaotic energy flowed through his body.
Then he stepped forward, his slender figure, a celestial mist swirling around him, like a universe descending. Every gesture carried an oppressive, overwhelming force.
This was a display of his terrifying physical form, the unrivaled power of his innate Chaos Body.
The next moment, with a resounding sound, his fist collided with the phantom transformed from the golden Qilin. Cracks spread, sparks flew, and the very air shook.
Instantly, the Qilin exploded, transforming into a shower of rune-like light. Even as powerful as it was, it could not withstand Qin Tian's attack.
Everyone's face changed in horror.
It was terrifying! Could the power contained in this physical form still be human?
"How is this possible?"
Lan Lin's face changed drastically. She had not expected that her powerful attack, a terrifying attack imbued with the Qilin Imperial Art, would be so easily broken by Qin Tian.
She was certain that even a Chaos Body would be suppressed here. Therefore, Qin Tian, with only his suppressed Chaos Body, could easily defeat her!
In a battle between two of the same realm, in just one or two moves, each displayed their strongest strength.
Qin Tian walked slowly towards Lan Lin and said, "Lan Lin, I'll give you one last chance. Open the passage and abandon your plan. I'll marry you and protect you forever."
Lan Lin ignored Qin Tian's advice, now seemingly lost in a madness, her eyes gradually turning red.
"I just wanted to resurrect my father. Am I wrong?!"
She screamed.
Lan Lin's mind grew increasingly frantic. She clutched her head with both hands, as if something was piercing her, causing her excruciating pain.
"Father, wait a moment. It'll be over soon. Don't worry. Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Lan Lin's face was filled with pain. A gray mist emerged from the auspicious clouds surrounding her, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.
Everyone felt the change in Lan Lin, even triggering a disturbance in the sky. Strands of black and gray matter fell from the cracks in the sky, completely submerging the Enlightenment Field.
The only safe place now was the staircase nestled in the black mud.
It was a terrifying and eerie scene, one that left one's hair shuddering, for Lan Lin's body was actually growing hair.
"Anyone who stands in my way of resurrecting my father shall die!"
Lan Lin roared, her entire body glowing, and blood filled her eyes, brimming with a strange, undead substance.
She took on her true form, a truly authentic Qilin, as if the mightiest and most benevolent auspicious beast of the ancient world had resurfaced.
But to everyone's horror, the Qilin, once a symbol of auspiciousness, now resembled a vicious beast. Its golden scales were now covered in long fur of red, gray, and black, transforming its once auspicious appearance into something terrifying.
At this moment, Lan Lin's power had reached an unprecedented level.
"It seems Lan Lin has merged with the immortal matter. My flesh alone is no match for her."
Qin Tian's expression didn't change much. While he felt admiration in his heart, it now gave way to a surge of fighting spirit.
He then let out a soft shout.
From within his crown, a terrifying dragon of blood and energy emerged, piercing the heavens, swirling with chaotic energy and sword energy. He looked like a vast, cosmic furnace.
The sheer power of his energy and blood caused all the cultivators and living beings present to change color with fear, their souls trembling, nearly unable to stand.
It was utterly horrified.
Is this truly the power of a Saint Realm cultivator?
With a flick of his wrist, Qin Tian revealed a black hole behind him that swallowed all light, and a long sword flowing through the void emerged.
It was the Void Demon Sword!
Qin Tian usually didn't use weapons against his enemies, but when he did, it proved he was serious.
Qin Tian's figure vanished into thin air, then appeared before Lan Lin, slashing down with his sword.
"Sword One: Star Mark."
The Void Demon Sword was illuminated with divine and demonic patterns, showering it with dazzling light. It seemed beautiful, yet it harbored a profoundly murderous intent!
Combined with Qin Tian's own sword moves and the empowering influence of Primal Chaos Qi, even someone as powerful as Lan Lin felt a sense of mortal peril from this strike.
In disbelief, she hurriedly activated her moves. Endless black mist rose around Lan Lin, within which appeared the phantoms of countless demons.
This was a supremely powerful defensive technique, enhanced by Undead Matter. Even a Low Star Emperor wouldn't be able to break through her defenses.
But...
She now faced a serious Qin Tian.
And a serious Qin Tian was even more terrifying than a Low Star Emperor!
The dazzling sword light shone like a star, as if reflecting a vast, turbulent world, everything in it seemingly reflected in the sword.
This single sword ripped through the universe, severing the heavens and earth, leaving only traces of starlight streaking across the sky.
Chaos surged, and the entire Qilin Enlightenment Field began to tremble, shaken by Qin Tian's sword strike!
The Immortal Qilin protecting Lan Lin was instantly cleaved in two by the Void Demon Sword's wielding energy!
"I can't lose to you!"
"Just one last step!"
Lan Lin's body cracked and roared. With all her might, she burned her blood and essence, reaching the pinnacle of her strength at this level, and her body met the sword.
Crack!
At that moment, there was a crisp sound of bones cracking, like billions of stars exploding. The terrifying energy caused all the weaker cultivators on the steps to be blown away and fall down.
"No!"
"I can't lose!"
"Qin Tian, I beg you, let me resurrect my father. He is my only relative, the last of my kind. Once I resurrect my father, I will do anything you ask me to do!"
Lan Lin's eyes streamed with blood as she roared in anger, unwilling to give up. Large shards of her bones were crushed and sent flying backwards.
Finally, she was severed in half by the sword energy in mid-air, and pale golden blood splattered in the air, dazzling.
And, most bizarrely, within this pale golden blood, there was a colored substance that seemed to be alive, writhing and twitching, a terrifying sight.
Lan Lin's body was severed, her life force dissipated, and she fell directly into the black mud of undead matter.
Everyone watched in stunned shock.
The expressions of many Immortal heirs and supreme geniuses were incomparably complex, their hearts brimming with unspeakable meaning.
There are fools in this world, but fools would never reach their level. From Qin Tian and Lan Lin's recent conversation, and the fact that Lan Lin bore the same aura as the black mud that had engulfed the Qilin Enlightenment Field, they knew Qin Tian hadn't lied. Lan Lin was the culprit behind the changes at the Qilin Enlightenment Field.
She orchestrated this whole thing, intending to bury all the human geniuses here to resurrect her father.
"Lan Lin's aura hasn't dissipated. She's not dead yet."
Looking at the spot where Lan Lin fell, Qin Tian didn't relax.
Boom!
Suddenly, within the Qilin Enlightenment Field's black mud, the previously calm surface trembled, followed by a crackling sound, as if something was trying to break through.
"I cannot lose!"
At this moment, within the undead matter, a voice, as if emanating from the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Lan Lin, who had just been severed by Qin Tian's sword, was now stained by the undead matter, reassembling and appearing in the sky. Glowing runes enveloped him, giving him an eerie and ominous look.
"I will also resurrect my father."
"I cannot lose!"
"I cannot die either!"
The deep, dark words, as if emanating from the Nine Netherworld, carried an incomparably trembling determination. Everyone watched in shock.
Lan Lin, enveloped in black runes, shimmered yet terrifying. She climbed the stairs, each step leaving a lingering, pitch-black, decaying aura that chilled the air.
Her eyes were hollow, a rotting black mist within them, constantly twisting and writhing, even emitting screams.
Her once beautiful and noble face now appeared pale and eerie.
Lan Lin climbed the stairs step by step, while everyone on the steps watched with horror and confusion as the now-dead-looking Lan Lin passed them.
At this point, she was already unconscious, her body covered in long hair, a strange and unearthly sight.
Soon, she was standing not far from Qin Tian. Lan Lin was now completely unconscious, unable to distinguish who was before her. She only knew that her father was waiting for her up there.
Anyone who stood in her way would die!
She raised her palm and struck Qin Tian. Qin Tian raised an eyebrow and blocked with his own palm, a sound like the collision of divine weapons.
At this moment, Lan Lin's physical strength was terrifyingly strong. Qin Tian activated his Chaos Body, and the palm strike from Lan Lin even emitted a blazing light, shaking the very void and making people tremble.
"This power?" Qin Tian looked slightly surprised.
"That's a bit beyond my expectations."
Lan Lin suddenly leaped up, charging at Qin Tian. She was no match for him, but she remained resolute. Behind him lay her only family, and she wanted to return to her father.
Qin Tian's gaze shone, a flash of sword light in his gaze.
He wielded the Void Demon Sword, its energy gushing out, emitting a thousand-foot-long, mighty sword light as he slashed down directly at Lan Lin!
Lan Lin attacked Qin Tian with even greater frenzy. Even if her body were severed, it would quickly heal thanks to the properties of immortal matter.
The two suddenly reached a stalemate.
"Sword Two: Waning Moon"
"Sword Three: Falling Sun"
"Sword Four: Reincarnation"
Each sword move contained unparalleled, terrifying power, possessing its own unique supreme power, its destructive force awe-inspiring.
The waning moon wounds, the falling sun mourns.
The cycle of heaven and earth, life and death abound! Even the most powerful swordsman among the Great Emperors would be horrified by these strikes. These were the sword techniques Qin Tian had originally created on Wangdao Mountain with the help of Fu Hongchen and Shangguan Yunhe.
It was still incomplete, and only four moves could be used at most.
Wow!
Lan Lin's body trembled violently, and she coughed up blood continuously, completely powerless to resist.
He planned to kill Lan Lin first, then extract her soul and allow her to reincarnate. Just as Qin Tian was about to take action to eliminate Lan Lin,
At this moment, the void trembled, and a terrifying aura emerged, enveloping Lan Lin!
Above Lan Lin's head, a dark, broken cauldron spun, wisps of golden light dripping down. Once imbued with a sacred aura, it now appeared tainted, stained with blood from its former owner.
The cauldron was protecting Lan Lin. Qin Tian vaguely saw an old Qilin protecting its cub beneath its body, tears streaming down its face. "This is the Qilin Emperor's natal magic weapon, the Qilin Cauldron!" Someone recognized the origin of the shattered cauldron.
"How could this Qilin be so damaged? Didn't the Qilin Emperor disappear while searching for a way to reach the Nine-Star Emperor level? But why is this Qilin Cauldron covered in battle scars?"
Qin Tian was also perplexed. Human history recorded that the Qilin Emperor never returned after attempting to reach the legendary, elusive Nine-Star Emperor level.
But now it seemed something was fishy.
"The Qilin Enlightenment Field is a complete scam, a decoy! They've tricked us all in, then closed the exit, suppressed our cultivation, and forced us to inflict self-harm and slaughter each other, using all our lives as a sacrifice!"
Soon, a cultivator guessed Lan Lin's purpose.
They instantly went cold, their faces pale with fear, filled with utter shock and despair. Now, they truly cried out to heaven and earth, but no one could help them.
The only one who could save them was Qin Tian. "Lan Lin, why are you doing this!"
"If there's anything, we can discuss it. I believe the entire Great Thousand Dao Realm will help you."
The crowd shouted, but Lan Lin could no longer hear anything. She pushed Qin Tian away with a palm and rushed to the top of the stairs.
"If you don't want to die, climb up like hell." Qin Tian said this and gave chase.
On the altar at the top, the Qin clan and Qin Tian's harem were working to break the coffin and the Nine Worlds and Ten Realms Immortality Elixir.
But the ominous coffin was incredibly solid, and even their full strength proved indestructible.
"Oh no! Lan Lin's back." Yan Duo'er, clad in flame thorn flower armor and holding the Overlord Spear, glared at Lan Lin.
"How did she become like this?" Xiao Meng, surrounded by the Four Immortal Swords, stared in shock at Lan Lin, now half-human and half-ghost.
Cao Siwo's face was filled with horror. "She's merged with the immortality substance. Don't come into contact with her."
Qin Tian also rushed over and said, "Don't try to stop her. She's in danger."
The women nodded and stepped aside.
Lan Lin, like a puppet, mechanically moved toward the immortality elixir.
Qin Tian frowned and said, "You should know that you've failed. You can't kill everyone here. The immortality elixir isn't fully mature."
But Lan Lin didn't stop.
By this time, almost all the cultivators capable of reaching the summit had arrived at the altar, though their numbers were much smaller than before.
When faced with a life-or-death situation, people will do whatever it takes to save themselves. If Lan Lin wanted to annihilate them, they naturally wouldn't let him kill them.
"Let's attack together and kill her!"
"Lan Lin has been infected by the undead substance. She's no longer herself. Killing her is also saving her."
Everyone rushed towards Lan Lin, their various magical weapons and abilities flashing with dazzling light, overwhelming her.
But at that moment, the Qilin Cauldron above Lan Lin's head suddenly erupted with an overwhelmingly powerful aura, instantly sending everyone flying.
The overwhelming force almost instantly rendered everyone present powerless to resist.
Qin Tian also groaned.
Even someone as powerful as him was sent flying by the aftermath, his internal organs aching violently, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.
Qin Tian stared at the scene before him with a touch of shock. Given his temperament, it was difficult for him to remain calm at this moment.
The Qilin Cauldron had shown mercy, otherwise everyone would have shattered and exploded into a bloody mist.
And now, before him, a vast and boundless figure emerged from within the Qilin Cauldron.
It was a man, powerful and strong, entwined with Qilin patterns.
His black hair flowed freely, revealing him to be incredibly heroic. Dense and endless, radiant golden immortal symbols floated around him, seemingly towering over the heavens, dazzling even in the deepest reaches of the universe.
This wasn't a real figure; rather, it was a vision. A scene from the depths of the universe, at some unknown time, was projected and displayed within the Qilin Cauldron.
"A thousand calamities, an eternal challenge, my Qilin clan will fight alone!"
"The Qilin steps upon auspicious clouds, erasing all mortal troubles. I will not allow you to pollute this world."
The figure roared, his might overwhelming the heavens. Thousands of auspicious lights illuminated the righteous universe, and the unparalleled auspiciousness triggered strange phenomena in the heavens.
The supreme avenue rose and fell, treading beneath this figure's feet, seemingly bearing the heavens' wishes.
"Is this the Qilin Emperor? The only recorded eight-star emperor?" Qin Tian fell silent, sensing a terrifyingly intense fighting spirit permeating the air.
A rift appeared in the depths of the universe, its aura cold and terrifying, like the gates of hell.
Endless undead matter emanated, tainting any earthly realms it touched, devouring countless lower realms.
Worlds vanished one after another, cultivators and creatures reduced to dust and dissipated one by one.
Countless lives perished, an unspeakable horrific catastrophe.
The bloody rain was overwhelming, enough to drown the heavens and earth.
At this time, humanity was in the process of being liberated from the enslavement of the Ancient Imperial Family. Having defeated them, they were at a time of weakness.
This sudden disaster was almost a calamity for humanity.
These undead substances were actually a race, inherently brutal, immortal, and fond of devouring and destroying the world.
Lan Lin's father, the Qilin Emperor, ultimately fought the undead race single-handedly.
It was a war of unspeakable horror.
The river of time rolled back, countless orders and rules collapsed, and even a piece of the universe was shattered.
Finally.
Although Qilin had defeated the undead race, he was also saturated by the endless undead matter.
The Qilin Cauldron was shattered. The current Qilin Cauldron was pieced back together piece by piece by Lan Lin at great cost.
The Qilin Emperor defeated the undead race, once again helping humanity prevent a catastrophe of epic proportions. However, due to the brutality of the battle, all humans involved perished. Few knew of this battle, and it has remained unknown to later generations.
Those who knew the inside story chose to conceal it, claiming that the Qilin Emperor disappeared while seeking an opportunity to break through to the Nine-Star Emperor level.
It should be noted that the Ancient Imperial Family had not yet been annihilated; they were merely defeated.
If they had known the Qilin Emperor was dead, the remaining human forces would have been powerless to protect Lan Lin and himself.
Because of this, there is no record of this great battle in ancient history.
"Did such a thing ever happen?"
"The Qilin Emperor, who once dominated the heavens, met his end in this manner."
"He did it for the lives of countless millions..." Many cultivators trembled, some even tearing up.
The subsequent scene faded, but many cultivators, guessing what had happened, fell silent.
Lan Lin plotted against everyone to resurrect her father.
Did she do anything wrong?
The human race owed the Qilin clan so much, and many even wanted to help Lan Lin fulfill her wish.
"This is the Dharmakaya of the Dao. Though its body perishes, its Dao lives on, preserving the scene of that day and imprinting it on the Qilin Cauldron. Today, the shattered will of the Qilin Emperor, still within the cauldron, must have sensed danger for his daughter and recreated the scene from that day."
Qin Tian whispered, watching Lan Lin's back without attempting to stop her. Behind him stood the harem, the Qin clan, and the Jieyou Pavilion.
Lan Lin arrived in front of the upright coffin and waved her hand.
With a clang!
The coffin lid dropped!
Endless clouds of blood rose to the sky, and the deathly mist filled the coffin, obscuring everything. Everyone was unable to open their eyes, unable to see straight ahead.
"A pile of battered flesh? And a shroud?"
Qin Tian's eyes shone brightly. He now held the Void Demon Sword, and wisps of chaotic sword energy cascaded down from his body, firmly shielding everyone.
He had a clear view of the scene within the coffin.
But it was only for a moment.
Inside the coffin lay a shroud.
Embroidered with images of billions of suns, moons, and stars, the vast universe, it was stained with blood, a dark red color, as if long soaked in blood.
It was a shocking sight.
This was the shroud of the Eight-Star Emperor, stained with his blood. Refining it would yield a supreme treasure.
At this moment, Lan Lin, driven by her consciousness, reached for the immortality elixir with her pitch-black hand.
Although she was corroded and contaminated by the undead substance, she remained fearless, seemingly unaware of the pain. Even as her body rotted, flesh shed, and black blood surged, she still sought the elixir to save her father.
This scene left Qin Tian silent.
Not only was he silent, but everyone present was silent.
At this moment, Qin Tian did not intervene. He knew that nothing he did now would be of any use. He could only respond to the situation after Lan Lin finished.
Besides, the Mountain and River State Map was unaffected. At worst, he could just pack everyone inside and escape.
Furthermore, Qin Tian did not believe that an Eight-Star Great Emperor would be so easily resurrected.
What's more, it was just a pile of tattered flesh and blood.
The Qilin Enlightenment Field continued to collapse, the sky cracking. Almost all of its territory was covered in the black mud-like undead substance. All around was nothingness and seething turbulence.
Once she stepped inside, her words were instantly swallowed.
This was now the only safe place.
Lan Lin desperately plucked the immortality elixir. Her body crumbled, and the Qilin Peng Ding above her head shone with thousands of golden rays, but it couldn't protect her.
The Qilin Ding let out a mournful cry and shattered once more, turning into fragments scattered across the ground. The shadow of the old Qilin protecting Lan Lin dissipated in silent grief and self-blame.
But Lan Lin didn't pause for a moment. She endured the pain of her body bursting apart, then the black mist filled her, and she continued to reassemble, repeating this process over and over again.
At the same time, the coffin trembled, and the shroud within trembled slightly, and then it was opened, like a universe being opened, billions of stars turning and rumbling.
An endless sea of blood and dark mist erupted, a terrifying mass, quickly engulfing the entire place.
Lan Lin grabbed the immortality elixir and pulled out the still-unripe potion.
Just as Qin Tian wondered if Lan Lin was planning to use the immature elixir to save a pile of shattered flesh, Lan Lin swallowed it whole.
A terrifying burst of vitality and medicinal power exploded within her!
Even the immortality within her was forced out, forming a pair of black, muddy butterfly wings behind her.
"I want to save my father!!!"
Lan Lin roared, sacrificing her own blood and life. She would use herself to ripen the immortality elixir!
Lan Lin lifted her shattered body and placed it, along with the elixir, into the coffin. At that moment, an eye emerged from the pile of flesh and blood, and then strands of red hair sprouted from it.
Those red hairs, like tentacles, stretched out of the coffin, wrapped around Lan Lin, and dragged her inside.
"Good daughter, that's it. Daddy is in so much pain. You have to save him..."
A hoarse, cold voice emanated from the pile of shattered flesh and blood, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
Lan Lin was dragged into the coffin, where the flesh began to wriggle, seemingly devouring her bit by bit like a giant mouth.
But at that moment, Lan Lin seemed to regain consciousness, a faint smile playing across her face, as if she were back in her childhood, cradled in her father's arms.
From her perspective, her father opened his arms, embracing her. Like a child, she spoke to him about her longing for him and the hardships she had endured along the way.
But thankfully, they were finally reunited...
The flesh and blood in the coffin had already devoured most of Lan Lin, leaving only half of her face exposed. Lan Lin's gaze stumbled upon Qin Tian.
Her smile faded, but finally, she revealed a beautiful smile once again, softly saying, "I'm sorry..."
Then, the flesh and blood completely devoured Lan Lin, erupting into a frenzy, unleashing a power that surpassed the suppression of this place and far surpassed that of a saint.
"I don't know if it's truly possible to resurrect an eight-star emperor, but I'm certain it's not the Qilin Emperor!"
Qin Tian couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Although he was powerful and had many hidden cards, he could still fight against a one-star or three-star opponent, but even with an eight-star opponent, even his abnormality wouldn't allow him to cross so many levels.
"Yin Yin, are you fucking dead? If not, come out and help me." Qin Tian called out to the system in his mind.
"Why are you yelling? I'm sleeping soundly. You should know that I consume a lot of energy." Yin Yin appeared above Qin Tian's head, yawning, looking half asleep.
Qin Tian grabbed her by the back of the collar and turned her head towards the trembling coffin.
"This situation is critical. This thing was an Eight-Star Emperor in his lifetime, and the most powerful of the Eight-Stars. Give me eight or ten Emperor Cultivation Experience Scrolls, and then give me some cheats."
"Fuck! An Eight-Star Immortal Emperor!" Yin Yin immediately hugged Qin Tian's head, frightened, and said nervously, "How could you get involved with something like this!?"
"You think I want to? Hurry up and give me cheats!" Qin Tian said anxiously.
"Uh..." Yin Yin poked her pinkies together, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hmm?"
Qin Tian had a bad feeling.
"Damn... you forgot, all your villain value has been transformed... Now, forget about cheating, you can't even afford a pair of underwear..."
"Fuck you, what's the point of you? Not only do you transform into a jerk, but you also failed me at the crucial moment."
Qin Tian was beginning to lose his composure.
"Don't worry, look over there." Yin Yin pointed a little.
Qin Tian looked over and saw Gong Xukun and Yang Wei, two brothers in distress, trembling in fear.
"They're the protagonists of destiny. The thing about these bastards is they can't die no matter what. I checked, and they still have quite a bit of destiny left. With them, I guarantee they won't die."
"Hey, you're a real genius."
He grabbed the two of them with his massive hands and pulled them behind him. Before they could start cursing, Qin Tian said, "Since your mother is my woman, and you're my eldest son, I'll protect you."
Yang Wei was about to lose his temper and fight Qin Tian, but upon hearing this, he immediately calmed down. Who wants to die when they can?
Qin Tian glanced at Gong Xukun again and said, "You're my eldest son's woman, so I'll protect you too. Oh, and Qingxue is already my own flesh and blood. Just be my daughter-in-law."
Gong Xukun looked at Gong Qingxue in disbelief, his face the color of pig liver, a truly awful sight. But to save his life, he had no choice but to acquiesce.
Qin Tian's action did indeed win Su Wanjun a lot of favor; after all, Yang Wei (Lü Mao) was her child.
Diao Lingxin, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed; Lü Mao was her ex-husband after all...
Su Wanjun approached Lü Mao and said earnestly, "Look how much your father cares about you. There was just a misunderstanding between you. Don't cause trouble again. Be filial to your father. Then I'll give you a sister."
Lü Mao's face turned green. Boundless hatred and humiliation made him want to unleash his Green Crown Immortal Art and fight Qin Tian to the death. However, the thought of the terrifying creature within the coffin deterred him.
At this moment, a chilling sound emanated from within the coffin.
Then, an immense figure emerged from the coffin, its face obscured by a thick aura of blood and undead matter. His body was tattered, draped in a shroud. The aura of blood emanating from him was so thick it was nauseating, and numerous black substances swayed and wriggled about him like tentacles.
His body resembled a patchwork of flesh and blood, a sight that was both nauseating and terrifying.
He then grasped the tattered Qilin Cauldron with a mighty hand.
Under the erosion of the undead matter, the shattered Qilin Cauldron was restored, but it still lacked its former dignity, becoming sinister and dark.
He stepped forward, emanating an aura so terrifying it could annihilate heaven and earth. The moment he moved, the Qilin Enlightenment Field could no longer sustain its power, shattering into the turbulent flow of space and time, and the suppression of the area was completely lifted.
"Lan'er..."
Everyone could faintly hear a sense of sorrow spreading.
This scene was incredibly horrifying, sending many into a state of panic. Everyone in the dojo despaired.
However, only one person remained calm. Qin Tian's figure blurred, a large yellow banner rising and falling above his head, and chaotic energy surged from his body.
He charged towards the corpse of the Qilin Emperor.
Everyone was utterly shocked. They had never expected Qin Tian to have the courage to attack at this moment.
Qin Tian, holding the Pangu Banner, waved it towards the corpse of the Qilin Emperor.
Instantly, countless rays of radiant light pierced the azure sky, and a thousand auspicious colors blanketed the heavens. He exuded a supreme aura and displayed unparalleled majesty.
He possessed the might to rend the primordial chaos, the power to shatter the universe, the ability to command the mysteries of all laws, and the ability to open up the universe.
The corpse of the Qilin Emperor was even frozen for a moment.
But this moment was enough. He shouted to Xiao Meng, "Four Swords of Immortal Slaying!"
Xiao Meng nodded, her hands exploding in front of her chest. Endless sword energy surged from her body, and instantly four swords flew out of her body and landed beside Qin Tian.
Qin Tian opened his lips and chanted a series of incantations.
The resonant voice seemed to echo from ancient times, like a mantra and an ancient ballad.
"Neither copper nor iron nor steel."
"Once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru."
"No need to invert yin and yang to refine it."
"Can't there be water and fire to quench its edge?"
"Immortal Slaying Sharp!"
The Immortal Slaying Sword beside Qin Tian uttered a resounding cry that resonated throughout the universe. Countless stars and galaxies were severed by the radiating sharp sword energy. The Immortal Slaying Sword was sharp, capable of severing everything in the world.
"Immortal Slaying!"
The Immortal Slaying Sword's demise signified the death of all things in the world, the death bestowed upon all.
"Xianxian, blood is everywhere!"
"Severing Immortals, the transformations are infinite and wondrous!"
The Xianxian Sword and the Severing Immortal Sword both radiated overwhelming might, staining the sky with blood and unpredictable changes.
As the ancient ballad concluded, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation erupted!
"Destroy the universe!"
Qin Tian, without hesitation, activated the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation, slashing towards the corpse of the Qilin Emperor.
Countless terrifying sword energies descended upon the corpse of the Qilin Emperor, severing space and time in that instant. This move was the Formation of Destruction.
It could slay demons and immortals, and annihilate all things in the world.
However, there was a limitation: the user. Qin Tian had not yet ascended to the throne, so even the might of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation was ultimately limited.
Qin Tian was well aware of this, and he remained vigilant.
When the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation reached its limit, Qin Tian instantly struck, the chaotic energy within him reaching an unprecedented concentration.
At the same time, he chanted: "The Great Dao emerges, the universe is judged, chaos appears. Chaos is vast and boundless, heaven and earth are nothing!"
"Chaos Method: The Chaos Infinite Beginning Sutra."
Qin Tian, carrying boundless chaos, punched the Qilin Emperor's corpse. However, the Qilin Emperor's corpse, already on the verge of shattering by the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation, was still able to strike back.
The two fists collided instantly.
Bang!
A deafening roar echoed, and Qin Tian's figure flew backward like a cannonball, only coming to a stop after crashing into a pillar beside the altar.
Everyone watched. Although the Qilin Emperor's body was shattered, the immortal matter was constantly repairing it. Qin Tian, on the other hand, was in a state of disarray. His entire arm had been bent into an irregular shape, with broken bones protruding from it.
"Damn, the gap is still too big."
A divine light descended from Qin Tian's body, and his broken arm quickly healed.
His expression was grim. The Eight-Star Emperor was far too difficult to overcome. Even if he mobilized his Heavenly Demonic Body, he wasn't sure he could resist. Escape would be a feat.
But now the entire altar was engulfed in the turbulence of time and space, making escape impossible.
"Ahhh!" The Qilin Emperor's corpse let out a terrifying roar.
His eyes were red, and his face was filled with agony.
"Ahhh, Lan'er!"
The Qilin Emperor's corpse suddenly clutched its head and screamed, punching the altar beneath it.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Punch after punch, and another.
With each punch, the entire void trembled. His fists, shards of bone and flesh splattered, stained with blood and flesh, yet still held a maddening obsession.
"Lan'er!"
Everyone sensed a deep sense of sadness in him.
In life, he had protected all living things and fought for their peace.
In death, he was unable to protect his own child.
Perhaps Qin Tian's attack had just restored a glimmer of consciousness to him.
He said to Qin Tian: "Chaos...Law...Qin...Clan...Tell them...Let them kill me...I have been infected by the undead matter...Already...Ahhh!!"
The eyes of the Qilin Emperor's corpse were once again filled with madness. His expression became ferocious and terrifying, his mouth twitching strangely to his ears, and he uttered an evil voice.
"Hahaha, my Undead Clan is using your corpse to destroy the human world!"
"How pathetic! You fought so hard to destroy us, only to be destroyed by your own daughter. My Undead Clan was destroyed by you, and we will let you destroy this world yourself."
The Qilin Emperor's expression shifted erratically, as if two souls were fighting for the body.
"Don't struggle. Don't worry. Neither you nor I will survive. I will vanish, and the Undead will be reduced to nothing but a pool of undead mud. But your body will remain. Pray that the human race today has a way to deal with an Eight-Star Emperor, hahaha."
"You... won't succeed..." The Qilin Emperor, with what little sanity he had left, looked at Qin Tian.
"Tell the Qin Clan to collect my body, and protect my daughter."
With that, he reached into his chest and pulled out a fist-sized golden sphere, tossing it to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian caught it and examined it. The sphere resembled amber, and curled within it was a small golden Qilin. The aura it exuded was very familiar to Qin Tian.
"Is this Lan Lin?"
Qin Tian looked at the Qilin Emperor with a complex gaze. This father-daughter duo truly moved people to tears.
To revive her father, the daughter willingly allowed herself to be infected by the undead substance, sacrificed countless small worlds, plotted to smear the blood of all the geniuses, and bore eternal infamy, all to save her father.
And yet, even under the control of the erosion, the father was able to regain consciousness and protect his daughter.
Perhaps this is a father's instinct.
"Don't worry, senior. Lan Lin is my woman, after all. I will protect her and prevent her from repeating the same mistakes."
Qin Tian put the amber away and bowed respectfully to the Qilin Emperor.
Seeing this, everyone bowed to the Qilin Emperor, many feeling sad and tears welling in their eyes.
"Farewell, Great Qilin Emperor!"
"Farewell, Great Qilin Emperor!"
"Farewell, Great Qilin Emperor!"
A smile flickered across the Qilin Emperor's flesh-and-blood face, then his consciousness faded, and a deathly aura permeated his body.
The Qilin Emperor was dead, and so were the undead race. Now, it was just a corpse.
The Qilin Emperor's corpse slammed the altar beneath its feet again, and the altar finally collapsed under the pressure.
Qin Tian frowned. This might be his only chance of survival. The altar was now trapped in a spatial turbulence. While dangerous, it could be resisted with powerful magic weapons, and if successful, he could even travel to another dimension.
Although the risk was high, it was better than facing an eight-star emperor here.
Just as the altar was about to collapse, and everyone was about to jump into the spatial turbulence...
Woo woo woo woo!!!
At this moment, a resounding horn suddenly blared, piercing through the ancient immortal realm, illuminating both the past and present, shocking everyone.
"The ancient immortal realm is vast, guiding all living beings."
The void seethed, and the turbulent currents parted!
Above them, a passage suddenly opened, forming a road. This road shone with boundless brilliance, shrouded in a myriad of rules and orders, like a path to immortality.
Then, an ancient warship, as venerable as a vast ancient domain, sailed across the road. Even the stars could not compare to its size.
The ancient warship was immense, stained with countless blood, as if it had fought countless battles on an ancient battlefield.
"What is this!"
"This is an ancient immortal warship!"
"We are saved!"
At this moment, many cultivators were stunned, then trembled, shouting at the ancient warship with overwhelming excitement.
"What has happened here? What is going on?"
"How could the path to immortality end here?"
Shocked voices echoed from within the ancient warship. Many people then noticed a number of figures within. Most appeared young, sitting cross-legged on the ground, shrouded in a radiance of various colors. Most were human, with only a few belonging to other races.
An elderly man with a white beard and a white face appeared, his aura surged and terrifying. He emanated the imperial might of at least a six-star emperor. He gazed in shock at the changes taking place.
"Where the hell is this? Why is there an emperor's corpse here?"
"This is an evil, ancient ritual... sacrificing all living beings..."
"Who is this person? How dare they commit such a heinous act?"
Shocked voices echoed from within.
At the edge of the Feixian ancient warship.
Rays of light flashed, and then a series of young, slender figures appeared. Some wore precious armor, others were shrouded in immortal light. All of them possessed powerful auras and profound cultivation.
One of the great emperors, his eyes widened in shock at the horrifying scene.
Beside him, a number of young figures stared intently at the scene ahead, momentarily stunned.
"Hurry, inform the young lady!"
"No need, I'm coming."
A snow-white figure appeared on the boat. She was pure and ethereal, her white dress flowing gracefully, a transcendental being.
She wore a long, azure silk dress that trailed several feet on the ground, as clear and graceful as a cold spring.
Her pale skin, illuminated by the immortal light and runes, seemed even more translucent, as if carved from ice and jade.
Her eyes, like the autumn water of a cold pond, were deep and cold, and the corners of her lips, gently pursed, hinted at a hint of pride and loneliness.
She was tall, probably over 1.7 meters tall! Her bun was a mass of clouds, and she held Yunhe sideways! Her icy skin was translucent and delicate, a sight that was dizzying to behold!
At this moment, she stepped forward and reached the bow! Her slender waist swayed, her slightly raised hips creating a perfect curve!
Slender hands rested at her sides, her feet gracefully glided across the water, her steps slow and elegant, graceful and elegant!
Her graceful curves, in particular, drove men everywhere crazy!
But not a single man aboard the ancient warship dared to offend!
They all bowed their heads respectfully, addressing her as "Young Lady."
Throughout the voyage, they had witnessed just how formidable this new "Young Lady" was. Her radiant beauty made no one dare to underestimate her. Anyone planning to take advantage of her would have to consider their own limitations!
Qin Tian's pupils shrank when he saw the snow-white hue at the bow.
The woman at the bow's pupils also trembled when she saw the majestic figure on the altar.
They both spoke almost simultaneously.
"Gu Qinghan!"
"Qin Tian!"
Yes, the person who had arrived was none other than the long-missing Gu Qinghan!
It was then that everyone recognized each other and realized they were all familiar faces.
"It's the Gu family. We're saved."
"Gu Ming, it's me. Do you remember me? Last time we went to the brothel, you hired four top prostitutes all by yourself. I paid for them."
On the boat, a young man in armor paled. Before he could say anything, a woman next to him kicked him from the bow to the stern!
"You told me last time it was your first time! You didn't know anything, yet you let me take the initiative? Turns out you were lying, you bastard!"
"Scumbag, bah."
At the same time, the women on the boat cast disdainful glances at Gu Ming, who lay sprawled on the ground with his butt sticking out, smoke still billowing from it.
Gu Qinghan looked at Qin Tian with a complicated expression. She hadn't expected to encounter him again here, even after escaping to the Celestial Realm. "Stop messing around! Lower the boat and rescue the people. Old Ancestor, go grab something and buy us some time," Gu Qinghan said coldly.
Gu Qinghan's words carried absolute authority within the Gu family. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone began to prepare for landing in an orderly manner.
At the same time, several terrifying auras surged from the ancient battlefield, engaging the Qilin Emperor's corpse.
But this exchange of blows suddenly changed their expressions.
"Eight-Star Emperor! How is that possible?!"
"He's the Qilin Emperor!"
"How did he become like this?"
Some of the Gu family's ancestors recognized the Qilin Emperor's corpse, but before they could express any surprise, the Qilin Emperor's corpse had already begun its counterattack. They could only grit their teeth and fight it.
Then, with a rumbling sound, the entire Feixian Ancient Warship trembled, and amidst the shroud of immortal mist, it pressed down.
Buzz!
A dazzling golden passage stretched out, a hundred feet wide, slicing through the Void Sea and the chaotic currents, forming a path across the altar below.
"Great!"
"We're saved!"
"Just follow this passage to the ancient warship and we'll be able to leave this place." All the cultivators, watching this scene, couldn't help but rush forward excitedly.
The Gu family disciple extended his hand and hurriedly said, "Everyone, hurry! This altar is about to collapse!"
Qin Tian turned to the women behind him and said, "Hurry up and get on board."
"Husband, what about you?" Xiao Meng asked.
Qin Tian: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. There's something I'd really like to try."
Everyone nodded, knowing that only when their own safety was assured could Qin Tian free himself to pursue his own endeavors.
From the golden passage connecting the ancient warship to the altar, figures began to leave, stepping onto the Feixian ancient warship.
Qin Tian smiled at Gu Qinghan on the bow, then turned and ran in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Gu Qinghan's frozen heart suddenly trembled, and an expression of confusion and concern appeared on his face.
Qin Tian's goal was the shroud within the coffin!
But the shroud of the Eight-Star Emperor, soaked in blood for years, was extremely valuable.
Furthermore, Qin Tian had a vague feeling that this shroud was the key to dealing with the Qilin Emperor's corpse.
Boom!
At this moment, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's shroud roared, and the sun, moon, and stars embroidered on its surface rumbled and turned, as if about to emerge. Its body seemed to shimmer and shimmer.
As Qin Tian approached the shroud, the Qilin Emperor's corpse grew even more violent. Black blood began to flow from its body, instantly suppressing several Gu family ancestors. The powerful energy even caused the ancient Feixian warship to tremble, as if it could hardly withstand the aura and threatened to burst.
An incomparably terrifying aura permeated the air, and even the ancient warship's endless array patterns, protecting it, began to crack and develop.
Many people's faces paled drastically. The golden passage collapsed, and some fell into the sea of nothingness below, instantly dissolving into nothingness.
Qin Tian reached the coffin and grabbed the blood-glow shroud in his hand. Without even a second's pause, he began to retreat, and the Qilin Emperor's fist flew past his head. Although it missed, the terrifying force still sent Qin Tian flying far away. Qin Tian didn't dare to stop and hurried towards the ancient warship.
The Gu family member's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! We can't let that thing on board!"
"We have to leave this place. We can't stay any longer."
If they stayed any longer, and the Qilin Emperor's corpse really got aboard, they didn't know what would happen. The entire warship might be destroyed.
Everyone here would be buried here.
"Miss, we can't wait any longer."
Gu Qinghan hesitated, looking at the pursued Qin Tian. She raised her jade hand, and the endless cold energy around her condensed into a spear of ice and snow. The cold energy flowed from her body, piercing the Qilin Emperor's corpse.
But the Qilin Emperor's corpse was so powerful that the ice spear shattered into ice shards the moment it struck him.
But this also slowed the Qilin Emperor's corpse's movements for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qinghan leaped from the warship, passing Qin Tian. Her delicate hands clasped together, forming a magnificent ice lotus.
It seemed beautiful, yet it seemed to hold the power of an eternity of ice!
Qin Tian also turned, clasping his hands as well. Chaos energy surged around him, and a lotus blossomed between his palms.
Unlike Gu Qinghan, hers was a snow-white ice lotus, while Qin Tian's was a Chaos Blue Lotus.
The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously released their lotuses in tacit agreement.
"Chaos Technique: Chaos Blue Lotus!"
"Eternity Technique: Eternal Ice Lotus!"
The two lotuses intertwined, simultaneously unleashing a terrifying, earth-shattering power. The once dark void was illuminated by the intense light of the explosion, illuminating it like daylight!
Boom!
The sound of the explosion was like the roar of Thundergod!
The ripples of the explosion were like a torrent of destructive force!
Just as Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn back, a figure rushed out from the explosion and unleashed a punch at Gu Qinghan.
A powerful and domineering imperial aura emanated, the fist radiating a startling light.
Gu Qinghan flicked her jade hand, and a crystal-clear ice shield condensed and formed before her.
Bang!
With a crackling sound, the ice shield was shattered, and Gu Qinghan was struck back.
A trace of blood smeared her lips.
Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly caught Gu Qinghan in his arms, then turned and swiftly returned to the warship.
"Hurry!" Qin Tian roared.
Crash!
The terrifying force swept through, and light shot up into the sky. The entire Qilin Enlightenment Field was instantly shattered and reduced to dust.
The ancient warship took off, quickly opened a passage, and sailed away.
Without the altar's support, the Qilin Emperor's corpse fell into the void amidst terrifying roars.
On the ancient warship, Qin Tian held the weakened Gu Qinghan and asked, "Are you alright?"
Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, staring blankly at Qin Tian's face. The longing she had always felt for him suddenly filled her, but it was also accompanied by hatred and a sense of complexity.
She pushed Qin Tian away and stood up. She said coldly, "I don't need your concern."
After saying this, she glanced coldly at Qin Tian's vast harem before turning and leaving.
Qin Tian gave a wry smile. After not seeing her for so long, she was still as cold as ever.
Qin Tian comforted the women and then chased after them.
The Gu family members exchanged glances, but in the end, they tactfully arranged for food and lodging for the others and left the two of them alone.
Qin Tian and Gu Qinghan were engaged, officially arranged by their families. It could be said that Gu Qinghan was Qin Tian's legal wife.
Qin Tian walked over to Gu Qinghan. They were both silent for a moment before Qin Tian finally spoke first, "Where have you been all these years?"
"None of your business. It's easier to have fun with women when I'm not around."
"Uh..." Qin Tian scratched his head and changed the subject, "Where are we going?"
Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes flickered at Qin Tian before he slowly spoke, "The Immortal Realm."
"The only immortal realm that might still exist, where immortals still exist."
