Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Dragon Palace of the East Ocean.

Dragon Transformation Pool.

The Jade Stone of Heavenly Destiny turned into a Green Lotus seed and several rays of light appeared.

The Green Lotus seed landed in Ye Ping’s essence soul.

At this moment, there were some more things that surfaced in Ye Ping’s mind.

He thought about the war between heaven and earth, the information about this World-Destructing demon. Since he had obtained this Green Lotus, it meant that he had been given the mission to save the world.

“Eldest Senior Brother, this...”

Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu and was somewhat speechless.

He didn’t expect Su Changyu to give him such a huge task as soon as he arrived.

‘Save the living beings of the world.’

‘How can I bear the responsibility?’

Ye Ping felt a sense of pressure.

“Junior Brother, just tell me if you can take it on or not.”

Su Changyu said, looking extremely calm.

It was as if the responsibility of saving the world was considered nothing at all.

“I can!”

Ye Ping immediately answered solemnly after he heard Su Changyu’s question.

Since his eldest Senior Brother had given him such an important task, how could he refuse?

In fact, Ye Ping even guessed that it was the mission of the Qingyun Dao Sect because it was a hidden sect.

At this moment, he finally gained the recognition of the sect.

A wave of excitement surged within him.

“Okay, in this case, cultivate well and improve your strength. I have something to do so I’ll get going now. When you’re about to leave, open this letter.”

Su Changyu nodded, handed a letter to Ye Ping, and then rode away on his Qilin.

“Eldest Senior Brother, wait.”

Ye Ping immediately said when he saw that Su Changyu was about to leave.

“What’s the matter?”

Su Changyu asked.

“Well, I’ve already reached the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm and I’d like to ask you to teach me the method to perfect the Nascent Soul.”

Ye Ping asked.

Previously, he had reached the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm and wanted to return to ask him for help, but now that Su Changyu had arrived, he naturally asked him those questions straight.

Su Changyu raised his head without making a single sound.

Although he had a lot in mind, there was nothing related to cultivation.

Su Changyu might not know much about cultivation, but he understood Ye Ping well.

“Nascent Soul of the Great Dao, Three Pure Essence Souls.”

Su Changyu said calmly.

As he spoke, he raised his arms and two paintings appeared.

The first painting depicted a small Nascent Soul realm person sitting on top of the Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams, surrounded by the Great Dao.

The second painting was that of three Essence Soul people, one holding a divine sword, one holding a walking stick, and one holding a horsetail whisk, with Dao flowers above their heads as well as water, wind, and fire surrounding them.

“Thank you very much for your teaching, Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping looked at the two paintings with his eyes full of excitement.

He knew that they were the Nascent Soul and Essence Soul perfection methods.

“Little Junior Brother, do you have any more doubts? If you do, feel free to point them out.”

Su Changyu said.

If there was nothing else, he would leave first.

“I don’t have any more questions.”

Ye Ping shook his head and said.

Su Changyu had already given him guidance, so the rest was naturally dependent on his own comprehension.

“Alright.”

Su Changyu nodded and then led the Ancient Qilin Emperor out of the hall.

At the same time...

On a cliff in the Nan Nation.

There was a chessboard on the cliff.

The black and white chess pieces were staggered.

Looking at the chess game in front of him, Wang Zhuoyu continuously thought about how he should deal with it.

Some time ago, he was in the Qingyun Dao Sect when he suddenly heard some movement and soon got transported over by the Teleportation Array.

When he just arrived, he saw an old man who was about to die.

Wang Zhuoyu asked him where this place was and the old man told him that it was the Linglong Valley of the Nan Nation.

The chessboard in front of him was the Linglong chessboard that contained the inheritance of the supreme Dao of array formations. Array formations were like chess.

After saying that, the old man passed away.

Wang Zhuoyu then buried the old man and joined the chess game in a bid to solve it.

Supreme Array Formation Dao.

It was all prepared for him.

Wang Zhuoyu was excited.

He then went over.

“To hell with the Array Formation Dao legacy, I’m leaving!”

Wang Zhuoyu was infuriated because he had thought about it for a long time, but all his efforts were futile as he didn’t get any solution. Instead, a lot of his hair fell out.

He felt that he would go bald if he continued like this.

Setting up array formations was like a game of chess.

‘Why didn’t I comprehend anything?’

Wang Zhuoyu took out the star chessboard, ready to set up an array formation, leave this place and go back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.

However, Wang Zhuoyu was exasperated when he looked at the Linglong chessboard.

He didn’t want to leave after losing so much hair.

The array pattern in Wang Zhuoyu’s hand then changed and turned into a killing array.

Ah!!!

The killing array patterns criss-crossed and appeared on the Linglong Chessboard.

The black and white chess pieces were destroyed by the array formation and soon turned into ashes.

Wang Zhuoyu felt extremely comfortable.

However, he felt embarrassed because he had ruined a good game of chess.

“Forget it, forget it. I’d better hurry up and flee.”

Wang Zhuoyu started the array disk, and at this moment, a bunch of black and white shadows rushed to his eyebrows from the destroyed Linglong Chess Game all of a sudden.

At the same time, in a certain city of Qingzhou.

“What kind of treasure is this? My Heavenly Eye can be used to identify and appraise all treasures of the world. No treasure can escape my eye, but I can’t tell how incredible they are.”

Lin Bei looked at the white stone in his hand that had a pentagonal shape and was without any characteristics.

However, his years of experience in treasure identification and appraisal told him that this stone was not simple.

Without thinking much, Lin Bei put the stone away.

During this period of time, he had been going around identifying treasures and carrying lots of treasures with him. Hence, he didn’t lack that money.

“It’s time to go back.”

Lin Bei was planning to go back.

The thought of taking his treasures out and showing them off to Daoist Tai Hua once he returned made him smile beautifully.

In Beizhou of the North Moon Ancient City.

Chen Lingrou entered the city and prepared to go back to the Baiyun Ancient City of Qingzhou through the Teleportation Array.

After Su Changyu rode away on the Qilin, Chen Lingrou felt a strong urge to cry.

However, life still had to go on.

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard gave Chen Lingrou many Spirit Stones and treasures after hearing that Chen Lingrou was leaving. It even sent her to the North Moon Ancient City.

After all, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard had seen how impressive Chen Lingrou’s Senior Brother, Su Changyu, was and knew that it couldn’t afford to provoke Su Changyu.

“Junior Sister.”

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Chen Lingrou turned her head to the side to see that a beautiful woman in her mid twenties was walking towards her slowly with a smile on her face.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing here?”

Chen Lingrou was overjoyed and shocked because she didn’t expect Xiao Muxue to appear there.

She scurried over and hugged Xiao Muxue affectionately.

“I heard the news that you’ve gone missing so I came to look for you.”

“Something has happened to the Qingyun Dao Sect, so stay with me for the time being. Don’t go back.”

Xiao Muxue said with a smile.

“Something happened to the Qingyun Dao Sect? What happened?”

Chen Lingrou couldn’t help but be surprised after hearing that.

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

Xiao Muxue chuckled and nodded. She didn’t tell Chen Lingrou about the matter of the Qingyun Dao Sect and Daoist Tai Hua’s death.

Xiao Muxue had taken care of Chen Lingrou since she was a child, so Chen Lingrou didn’t doubt her words.

“Senior Sister, that stone egg I obtained at the Seven Kings relics came to life, and a Qilin was hatched from it.”

Chen Lingrou said.

She wanted to complain to Xiao Muxue.

She wanted to tell her that Su Changyu had snatched her Qilin away so that Xiao Muxue could do justice for her.

“What? Qilin!?!”

Xiao Muxue was stunned to hear her words.

She naturally knew what had happened to the disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect in the Seven Kings relics back then.

She knew that all of them had obtained an opportunity and that Chen Lingrou had obtained the inheritance of the Sword King and a fossilized egg.

The fact that Chen Lingrou told her that a Qilin had been hatched was way too astonishing.

Xiao Muxue did not have any doubts about that.

Chen Lingrou would never hide anything from her.

“Where’s the Qilin? Let me take a look at it.”

Xiao Muxue immediately asked.

The Qilin?

The Qilin was a divine beast of auspiciousness.

Once a Qilin stepped on auspicious clouds, all troubles of the world would be solved.

Now that the heavenly secret was blurry and the calamity was impending, Xiao Muxue felt different emotions about the appearance of the divine beast that signified auspiciousness.

“Eldest Senior Brother rode away on it.”

Chen Lingrou sounded extremely aggrieved.

Xiao Muxue was stunned.

‘Su Changyu rode it away?’

‘What’s going on?’

“Tell me what’s going on, how did a Qilin hatch from that egg? And how did Su Changyu, that good-for-nothing, ride it away?”

Xiao Muxue took a deep breath and asked Chen Lingrou to tell her what was going on.

In the Heart-Nurturing Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“Your Majesty, bad news. The Crown Prince has disappeared.”

A figure appeared in the palace and reported to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“How is that possible? How could the Crown Prince have left the Chang’le Hall without making a sound!?! Weren’t there elders to guard him?”

When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard the news, his expression changed drastically and he stood up from his chair in shock.

After the Hall Master of the Heavenly Secret Hall reported the situation of the Crown Prince to him, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hadn’t decided on what he would do with Xia Qian.

He initially planned to lock Xia Qian in the palace for the rest of his life.

Yet, the devil’s descendant appeared.

If he reported the matter, he would lose another son.

If he didn’t report it, he would be letting down the entire Great Xia Dynasty if something went wrong.

To his surprise, Xia Qian vanished.

It was the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was not a place that ordinary people could enter and leave easily.

“Quick, check.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty ordered immediately with a sullen expression.

He then took a deep breath and said slowly,

“Report this matter to the Heavenly Supervisory.”

After saying that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty sat down on the chair and leaned backwards.

At the same time...

In a certain mountain range of the Great Xia Dynasty.

A man with a slightly pale face, who was dressed in a brocade robe, waved his hand gently.

He was surrounded by corpses.

They were the corpses of the Green Wind Wolf, each of which was two meters tall.

The Green Wind Wolf was a type of demonic beast that resided in groups in the hundreds of thousands of mountains. Each one possessed power of at least the Foundation Establishment realm while the Wolf King had the abilities of the Golden Core realm or the Nascent Soul realm. Besides, since they mostly lived in groups, ordinary Nascent Soul realm cultivators wouldn’t dare to contend with them.

Xia Qian looked at the Green Wind Wolves and extended his arms while a terrifying shadow appeared behind him.

The figure’s appearance was blurry, but it seemed terrifying as it had a demonic aura and looked like it could devour the world.

“Swallow!”

Xia Qian spat a word.

In an instant, the figure’s demonic shadow devoured the mountain and rivers, as well as the corpses around Xia Qian.

The Green Wind Wolf corpses dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye and emitted a foul odor before eventually turning into a pile of bones that looked like they had been abandoned for an unknown period of time.

Xia Qian exhaled softly and his complexion became much better.

However, there was still a menacing Sword Qi within his body that was continuously disrupting his physical body and his Dharmic powers.

“Su Changyu, you’ll regret not killing me!”

Xia Qian murmured with a sullen and gloomy expression.

After being crippled by Su Changyu, Xia Qian slipped into comatose, during which he gained a lot more thoughts.

For example, the demonic seed, the World Destructing Fiend, the Son of Destiny.

He was the demonic seed that would ripen into a demon.

Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny.

They were born to be enemies.

That was also the reason that he bore so much hatred for Su Changyu.

It was not only because the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty showed great love and favoritism to the Tenth Prince, but also because he bore a strong hatred for the Tenth Prince, which came from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, he should have awakened and turned into a Fiendcelestial when the evilness of the world accumulated to the extreme.

However, for some reason, he was extremely agitated and thus woke up earlier than he should have.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

“Greetings, Lord Fiendcelestial.”

Daoist Xu Xuan’s figure slowly appeared.

“Who are you?”

Xia Qian did not get nervous and merely looked at Daoist Xu Xuan.

“Lord Fiendcelestial, just call me Daoist Xu Xuan.”

Daoist Xu Xuan answered.

“Daoist Xu Xuan? What’s your motive for coming here to see me?”

Xia Qian looked at Daoist Xu Xuan and said calmly.

“Lord Fiendcelestial, the Son of Destiny has grown to a terrifying level. You are no match for him.”

“I can help you and my purpose is simple. I want to become an immortal.”

Daoist Xu Xuan said with his eyes full of zeal and excitement.

“Become an immortal? No such thing here.”

Xia Qian said.

“Even if I can’t become an immortal, I can become Fiendcelestial! When I do, I’ll take revenge against Su Changyu, the Son of Destiny, for you.”

Daoist Xu Xuan laughed out loud.

After saying that, he attacked Xia Qian.

After knowing that the Fiendcelestial had been revived, Daoist Xu Xuan immediately had an idea in his mind to take on the Fiendcelestial and incorporate it into his body so as to turn himself into a Fiendcelestial too and become an immortal in another way.

Xia Qian remained indifferent when he saw Daoist Xu Xuan attack.

It was not that he didn’t want to do anything, but rather, when faced with Daoist Xu Xuan, he seemed to have been rendered immobile.

His abilities were at the Essence Soul realm and he was undeniably strong. Besides, he had just been crippled by Su Changyu not long ago.

Being able to increase one’s abilities despite having suffered such a debilitating injury was already terrifying enough.

His body contained the Sword Qi left behind by Su Changyu. Otherwise, his abilities would have been improved faster.

After taking down Xia Qian, both Daoist Xu Xuan and Xia Qian vanished.

At the same time...

Xiao Muxue brought Chen Lingrou to the Heavenly Supervisory.

She found out from Chen Lingrou about what she had encountered and how the Qilin was born before Su Changyu rode it away to go to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

That took her aback.

Firstly, she marveled at Chen Lingrou’s unbelievable luck to have obtained a stone egg and hatched a Qilin.

Secondly, she felt that the fact that Su Changyu had ridden the Qilin away was really outrageous.

‘Could it be that this is the outcome of Chen Lingrou taking away the Sword King’s inheritance that should have belonged to Su Changyu back in the Seven Kings relics?’

Xiao Muxue did not know what to say.

She no longer knew what to say about Su Changyu.

‘Maybe, this is the Son of Destiny.’

Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but wonder if Ye Ping had gone to the East Ocean Dragon Palace because he had been missing for a long time.

Ye Ping would stick to Su Changyu all the time.

It was strange that Su Changyu appeared without Ye Ping.

Since the East Ocean Dragon Palace was about to open, Xiao Muxue wanted Ye Ping to go there to fight for an opportunity, but Ye Ping’s whereabouts had been unknown.

That was strange.

The Heavenly Supervisory had eyes all around the various nations and it wouldn’t be difficult to find a single person.

“But according to the time Ye Ping disappeared, the East Ocean Dragon Palace hadn’t opened yet. Now that it has been opened, there are still several restrictions...”

Xiao Muxue could not help but veto the idea that Ye Ping was in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

The reason being, he couldn’t enter at all.

However, if Su Changyu brought Ye Ping to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, then it seemed that there wouldn’t be a problem.

The East Ocean Dragon Palace hadn’t officially opened yet, though.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to your accommodation.”

Xiao Muxue took Chen Lingrou forward to rest.

After settling Chen Lingrou down, a jade token appeared in Xiao Muxue’s hand and she saw the message that was sent to it.

“The Heavenly Secret Hall of the Great Xia Dynasty reported that the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qian, is a demonic seed! His current whereabouts are unknown.”

When she saw the message in the jade token, her expression changed drastically.

She couldn’t help but think of the information that they had deduced from the Heavenly Supervisory previously. The heavenly secret was bleak and the great tribulation was about to rise.

Now that the Son of Destiny had become a variable, things were beyond their control.

The demonic seed had also appeared ahead of schedule.

The great tribulation was about to rise.

“It’s all messed up.”

Xiao Muxue muttered to herself.

The tribulation was coming too soon.

Besides, if Crown Prince Xia Qian was a demonic seed, there was one thing she couldn’t figure out.

It was recorded in the ancient books that the Son of Destiny had a connection with the Fiend of Destruction, and previously, the Great Qian Dynasty imperial courts informed them that the Son of Destiny wanted to kill the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had asked Su Changyu to let Xia Qian stay alive.

If Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny, he should be able to sense that something was wrong with Xia Qian, so there was no way he should have kept him alive.

“Go check up on this. Send someone to the East Ocean Dragon Palace!”

“Inform the five nations to search for clues of the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qian.”

Xiao Muxue immediately ordered.

Qingzhou.

Two figures sat opposite each other on an altar.

“You know I’m the Fiendcelestial and yet you had the guts to do this? The probability of your success is only 30%.”

Xia Qian looked at Daoist Xu Xuan and said calmly.

“Why wouldn’t I dare to do it? Immortal cultivation goes against the heavens in the first place! For us, 30% is more than enough!”

“I’ve waited too long for this day! If I don’t do this now, I will be doomed to be unable to become an immortal for the rest of my life and die!”

Daoist Xu Xuan spoke with a zealous and maniacal gaze.

After he said that, runes began to appear on Daoist Xu Xuan’s body, and an aura began to pervade from his body while becoming distorted. Soon, it engulfed Xia Qian like a shadow and layers of sanguine light appeared.

At the same time...

Supreme Demon Hall.

The Fiend Lord suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

A moment later, he shook his head and turned to look at Xu Luochen with his eyes full of concern.

To him, it didn’t matter if the sky fell as long as it didn’t crush his son.

At this moment, an endless stream of golden aura was spreading from the golden cocoon in the hall, and it was surrounded by a Green Dragon, a White Tiger, a Vermilion Bird, a Black Tortoise, and a Qilin. The cocoon was continuously emitting clear roars of the dragon and tiger, as well as the ringing of the phoenix.
