"Brother Qin, this Great Cang Mountain is really beautiful. It’s far away from any conflict and murder. I really like it here. Brother Qin, wouldn’t it be so much better if I had meet you when you were really young?"
Qin Wushuang laughed. "I don’t think it would be as good as now."
Qin Wushuang thought about how before he had traveled to this world, the owner of this body did not have many extraordinary traits. Most likely, Xu’Er would truly not have liked him very much.
"How could that be? Brother Qin, I would have liked you for sure. For a nobleman possessing an open and honest heart like you, regardless of where in the world, I would like you very much."
"Ha ha, an open and honest nobleman? Xu’Er, do I deserve these four words?"
"Of course, Brother Qin, I think you deserve it." Mu Rong Xu looked at Qin Wushuang with sincere eyes. There were no other intentions in her eyes for this was praise coming from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. "Xu’Er, my hands are polluted with so much blood and I have murdered many. I am afraid I am not worthy of being called a nobleman. I do not regret what I have had to do though. When I work, I always act with a conscience mind. I have not let down the blue dome of heaven and I am worthy of a conscience heart."
"Yes, Brother Qin, don’t think about it too much either. In the Tian Xuan Land, people fight and kill each other. It’s impossible to avoid this. As long as your starting point is not evil, they are actions of a nobleman."
Mu Rong Xu knew how to comfort Qin Wushuang. He pulled Mu Rong Xu’s hand and arrived at the mountain cave that was the Second Loop of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation.
Mu Rong Xu felt rather surprised. "Brother Qin, I didn’t expect such a cave in the deepest part of the cliff. Wow, it’s big too. Have you explored it?"
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, "Xu’Er, this is the most important reason why I brought you here. I have yet to explore this cave. In fact, this mountain cave has major history. Even now, no one knows all the secrets of the cave including me."
"Including you?" Mu Rong Xu blinked her eyes and raised her elegant brows lightly. There was indescribable beauty through her movements.
Qin Wushuang nodded. "Xu’Er, once I mentioned to you that I was able to rise from the tiny human countries and was able to resist the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect because I relied on the fortuitous opportunities brought to me by this cave."
Qin Wushuang did not conceal his stories. As he looked at Mu Rong Xu’s somewhat puzzled expression, he narrated systematically in full detail the fortuitous opportunities he had encountered through the Seven Deadly Arrays Formations.
As if drunk and stupefied, Mu Rong Xu listened with fascination. Especially after his breakthroughs, the fresh opportunities brought by each new loop made Mu Rong Xu feel even more interested. When he talked about the dangerous incidents, Mu Rong Xu could not help but to squeeze Qin Wushuang’s arm tightly.
Although she knew that Qin Wushuang was fine, she was still incredibly nervous as her heart thumped rapidly.
Only after Qin Wushuang finished speaking could Mu Rong Xu slowly regain her thoughts. She let out a long breath of air. "Brother Qin, so you’ve only explored up to the Fourth Loop of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation?"
"Yes, the Fifth Loop is at the Endless Eastern Sea, but I don’t plan to go now." Qin Wushuang knew that he would eventually be going to the Endless Eastern Sea, but now would not be the time.
He had already reached the minimum requirement to head to the Endless Eastern Sea, the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Inwardly, Mu Rong Xu felt sweet as if she had drank honey. Not only was she brimming with happiness, but she also felt entrusted with an extra sense of responsibility.
Brother Qin did not share the secrets of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation with anyone else and she was the first human being to learn about it. This was enough to prove her position in Brother Qin’s heart.
It was with good consideration that Brother Qin chose to conceal this fact from others; however, Mu Rong Xu had reason to be happy when she was the first one to share this secret with Qin Wushuang.
"Brother Qin, those elite warriors you sent out that time when you escorted me back to the Floating Snow House, you said they were spiritual beasts. They were spiritual beasts inside the sealed scroll right?"
Qin Wushuang nodded. "Yes, these twelve sealed spiritual beasts are the trump card that allowed me to deal with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect for all these times."
Since he decided to share these secrets with Mu Rong Xu, of course he would not hide anything else. He also believed firmly that Mu Rong Xu would protect this secret.
"Brother Qin, it seems I am not the only one that has my eyes on you. The gods also fancy you, or else why would they bestow you with such a fortuitous opportunity?"
Mu Rong Xu felt extremely proud. Out of all the elite warriors of the Xuan Yuan Mound and all exceptional young people the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation still chose Brother Qin.
Mu Rong Xu was exceptionally intelligent. Of course, she knew that this Seven Deadly Arrays Formation was not ordinary. Brother Qin had only entered the Fourth Loop and already had encountered so many beneficial opportunities.
There were three more loops after. Certainly the upgrade after each loop would be tremendous. Therefore, she had reason to believe that one day, her Brother Qin would become the highest level at the Tian Xuan Land!
Although Mu Rong Xu did not have such ambitions, she had such premonition.
After these two shared their secrets, their hearts grew closer. After having lived for half a month at the Heavenly Royal Mansion, Qin Wushuang finally decided to prepare to head over to the Stargaze Palace.
Before his departure, Qin Wushuang took another two communication jade plates with him. He gave one to his father and the other to Da Xi Ming, his sister’s husband.
As Qin Lianshan had expected, Da Xi Ming’s family showed strong interest in having Chengcheng entering the Forbidden Spiritual Zone. Not only did they not oppose this idea, they endorsed it greatly.
This was something to be expected. When one was able to build a relationship with the Forbidden Spiritual Zone, such glory could surpass their imagination.
Being a leader of a family, it would be impossible for Da Xi Heng not to realize this fact.
Qin Wushuang had decided not to go to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain this time for he also knew of this reason: before ancestor Qin Yu’s remains could enter the Sacrificial Valley, his father would not be going.
This was an invisible encouragement from him to Qin Wushuang.
They were also not in a rush to prepare the ceremony between Qin Wushuang and Mu Rong Xu, so it was not like Qin Lianshan had to head over to the Xuan Yuan Mound definitely.
Qin Wushuang promised his father that if there were any abnormal movements at the Xuan Yuan Mound, their entire family would immediately regroup with the five Palace Masters at the Stargaze Palace and enter the Endless Eastern Sea to evade the direction of events.
Better to be safe than sorry. For many things, Qin Wushuang had to make precautions, despite the Heavenly Emperor already giving clear orders.
He must stay alert to any sneaky movements.
Although Chengcheng was young, he also knew the place his uncle was taking him was extraordinary. He did not make a fuss. On the contrary, he behaved like a little adult, despite his young age.
"Mama, I will wait for you guys at the Xuan Yuan Mound, don’t cry Mama," he comforted her.
As Qin Xiu wiped her tears, she instructed, "Chengcheng, when you get there, you must listen to your uncle and don’t be lazy."
After being reluctant to part, finally Qin Wushuang took Chengcheng to the Stargaze Palace. The re-construction of the Stargaze Palace had already unfolded regularly and thoroughly.
The Dragon and Tiger Sect had understood the situation. After receiving Qin Wushuang’s warning, before the one month deadline arrived, the five leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Sect all came to the Stargaze Palace to kneel and admit their crimes.
Of course, the Stargaze Palace would not leave the matter at that. They punished the Dragon and Tiger Sect firmly and killed all those that had murdered people of the Stargaze Palace. At the scene, they were offered as a sacrifice for those that had died unjustly from the Stargaze Palace.
Among these sacrificed people, included many of the core disciples and elders of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. For this defeat, the Dragon and Tiger Sect was unable to recover after a minor hitch. They were incapable of emerging any second thoughts.
Not only had the Stargaze Palace re-seized their position as the Eastern Overlord, they had also intimidated those restless powerhouses across the entire human countries. They had unquestionably, become the number one overlord of the human countries.
Even the Buddhism Emperor Palace of the Nine Raven Temple had to respect the position of the Stargaze Palace. After all, the Stargaze Palace now had two elite warriors of the Refined Void Martial Stage.
With a few elite warriors at the Perfect Stage of the Spiritual Martial Force, Palace Masters to Palace Protectors, Elders and Core disciples, each of them had achieved rapid progress in terms of strength. Although they had lost large groups of disciples, the core personnel still remaining had absolute advantage in the human countries. It forced the Nine Raven Temple to step down gracefully.
Of course, Qin Wushuang was joyous when he saw this situation. He made another promise with the five Palace Masters. They would still follow the original strategy. If there were any dangers, they would retreat and enter the Endless Eastern Sea at an early stage to avoid it.
When he left the human countries, Qin Wushuang stepped on the path to return to the Xuan Yuan Mound after having regrouped with Bao Bao and Lone at the Dispersed Praying Mountain.
Along the way, they did not talk at all. Since the last time they left the Xuan Yuan Mound, Qin Wushuang had returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain once again after a little more than six months. Keeping an extremely low-profile, very few people knew he had left.
Despite Chengcheng’s young age and leaving home for the first time, he carried himself well with the journey. He never once cried out on the way. Even if he missed his father and mother, he only thought about it inside and never showed it on his face. Such personality made Qin Wushuang feel incredibly gratified.
At such a young age, this little guy had impressive endurance and determination. Certainly he was a rough diamond. Even Mu Rong Xu thought this little nephew was sensible and thoughtful. Along the way, he also kept calling them uncle and auntie which made Mu Rong Xu feel sweet.
When they returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain, Qin Wushuang went to pay a visit to Qin Chongyang, the Third Chief the first time. Qin Chongyang was also brimming with happiness when he saw that Qin Wushuang had returned safely. He also found it somewhat strange when he saw that Qin Wushuang had brought a kid.
Qin Wushuang explained the situation and the expression of Qin Chongyang grew serious. As he looked at this four or five year old little guy, he said with a serious tone, "Wushuang, since Chengcheng is your nephew and you share a somewhat similar bloodline, we will take him to test his potential. Let’s not let another Qin Wushuang emerge, ha ha ha!"
The Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin Clan did not lack people, yet they were incredibly short of young talent. The giant Qin Clan had governed such a big territory, yet the phenomenon of lacking talent was severe across the land. The lack of people with good potential had been an old problem that disturbed the Qin Clan for hundreds of years. It forced them to excavate new talents from branches all around the world.
The testing process was not complicated and Qin Wushuang participated through the entire process. He stood outside the courtyard and wait for Qin Chongyang to inform him of the results.
In fact, Qin Wushuang was feeling somewhat nervous. He was never this nervous even when he participated in his first martial arts student exam.
He was full of confidence when he participated in the martial arts student exam; however, he was clueless of how Chengcheng’s talent test would go. Having waited for a moment, Qin Chongyang walked out from the inside in a hurry. When he saw Qin Wushuang, the smile on his face became even happier. He called out, "Good kid, Wushuang, what natural treasure did you use to nurture this kid Such promising talent! Even for the Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin Clan, he is a talent that would only occur every fifty years. Nice nice, I must nurture this kid from a young age! Little one, would you like to be my direct disciple?"
As soon as he heard this question, Qin Wushuang was in between laughter and tears. Having Chengcheng be the Third Chief’s direct disciple? Wouldn’t the seniority of the family become messed up?
