In a hall in Qingzhou.

The hall was very clean and simple and there was a jade disc inside.

At this moment, the jade disc was flickering with a green light.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes immediately with joy.

“This… This is the aura of the Son of Destiny!”

The middle-aged man was so excited that he couldn’t help but shudder.

He was clearly only middle-aged, but his voice was extremely old.

“Junior Brother, you’ve been hiding the Son of Destiny for so long, but I still found it in the end. What’s the point of doing this?”

“I’ll tell you, this is correct.”

The middle-aged man got up, and his voice was a bit emotional.

As soon as he said that, the middle-aged man had already vanished from the hall.

At the same time, Ye Ping opened his eyes in surprise.

He was surrounded by a plethora of dazzling treasures, and there were ancient artifacts and Dao artifacts everywhere.

That made Ye Ping dumbfounded.

There were at least a thousand ancient artifacts there and treasures that contained the Dao. They were all Dao artifacts and there were nearly a hundred of them.

Dao artifacts were the standard Dharma treasures of cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm and Essence soul realm.

There were immortal artifacts above Dao artifacts.

However, there were very few immortal artifacts.

His fifth Senior Brother, Lin Bei, once gave him the Three Thousand Great Dao Treasure Appraisal before. There were 365 immortal artifacts of high quality and a total of ten ancient immortal artifacts.

Hence, one could imagine how precious the Dao artifacts were.

Besides, this place was full of treasures and Dao artifacts, so he felt that there was no problem with there being one or two immortal artifacts.

Ye Ping felt like he was dreaming.

He thought about it carefully and remembered carefully that there was a disorder in the array formation when he and Su Changyu stepped onto it.

‘Did the disruption happen because I was sent here?’

“Eldest Senior Brother!”

Ye Ping called out.

However, there was no response.

Ye Piing walked forward and continued to call out.

At this moment, Ye Ping stopped walking and looked at a pool in front of him. It was beautiful, luxurious, and sacred.

It was an immortal artifact and there was golden liquid flowing in the pool, as well as wisps of dragon-pillar-like aura that rolled around in the pond while emitting an intimidating scent.

“Dragon Transformation Pool.”

There were three large words on the pool.

Ye Ping was stunned.

He immediately realized that it was an immortal artifact.

Yes, it was an immortal artifact!

Besides, it was not an ordinary one.

It was very likely to be a legendary ancient immortal artifact.

‘Could it be that I had triggered a strange phenomenon?’

The array formation malfunctioned and made him appear in the ancient ruins, just like how he fell off the cliff and appeared in the ancient ruins.

Ye Ping was in disbelief.

After all, it was too dreamy.

He was extremely conscientious and cautious as he checked the surroundings to see if there were any danger or array formation restrictions.

After making sure there was no danger, Ye Ping walked towards the Dragon Transformation Pool.

When he came close, he felt that it was even more extraordinary as the fragrance of the liquid in the pool made him feel that his entire body was clear.

The liquid in this pool was extraordinary and highly valuable.

Some time ago, when he cultivated his golden elixir to the point of being five-colored, he squandered the accumulated reserves.

Now that there was a strange phenomenon, Ye Ping naturally couldn’t let go of it.

Besides, it would be better for him to increase his cultivation level before returning.

Ye Ping immersed himself completely in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

At this moment… in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the Crown Prince’s Hall.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not expect that Xia Qian would say something like this.

Looking at the calm Xia Qian, he discovered that he could no longer see through his son who now felt like a complete stranger to him.

“Someone, take down the Crown Prince.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty called loudly.

In an instant, two guards, who had been in ambush, nabbed Xia Qian.

Xia Qian did not resist because he couldn’t do so in this situation.

He merely looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and said calmly, “Father, the Tenth Prince is the Ziwei Emperor Star.”

“I think you know what will happen if someone rebels and kills the Emperor Star.”

Xia Qian said.

Hearing these words, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s body trembled slightly. He was so furious that he could no longer say anything.

He naturally knew what Xia Qian meant. Su Changyu was the Ziwei Emperor Star.

If someone could kill the Ziwei Emperor Star, he would get the luck of the Emperor Star.

That was the reason Xia Qian had the confidence to attack.

As long as Su Changyu died in his hands or was suppressed by him, he would obtain all his luck.

That was also the reason why Xia Qian said, “What will happen to the Great Xia Dynasty if you strip me of my position?”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty could no longer afford to go through any turmoil.

‘He’s crazy.’

‘He’s out of his mind!’

In his opinion, Xia Qian had already gone mad.

“Lock Xia Qian up and put him behind bars.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Xia Qian with anger and disappointment in his eyes.

Indeed, the idea of letting Su Changyu replace Xia Qian as the emperor had crossed his mind before.

However, it was just an idea of his.

Previously, he had already decided that he would let Su Changu ascend to the throne after the new policy was implemented and the Great Xia Dynasty was firmly established.

However, he did not expect that the Crown Prince would go this far and do such a thing.

‘If I had known in advance, what would I have done?’

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked himself.

However, he didn’t have an answer.

The Crown Prince’s behavior had disappointed him greatly and the new policy hadn’t been stabilized yet. Hence, he did not dare to let the Crown Prince ascend to the throne.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty watched the guards take the Crown Prince away and sighed.

“Relay my orders. If there are any changes in the Emperor Star, report immediately!”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty ordered. Now, he could only hope that Su Changyu would be fine.

Otherwise…

In the hall, only the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was left alone and his face had become much older.

At the same time, in a valley of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

A sweet-looking young girl sitting on a demonic beast with a Qilin head and a leopard body looked extremely terrified.

“We’re here. Get off me, quickly.”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard stopped in its tracks while Chen Lingrou immediately hopped off it.

“Is it right ahead?”

Chen Lingrou was a little scared as she asked that question.

“Yes, do you see that fruit?”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard raised its claws and pointed at the dense forest ahead.

Chen Lingrou looked carefully and saw that there was a deep pool in the dense forest where there was a Qilin-shaped fruit that was emitting a red-yellow light.

“This is the Qilin Divine Fruit!”

Chen Lingrou couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw that fruit.

She had previously read in an ancient classic that the Qilin Divine Fruit could allow one to give birth to a Qilin bloodline. Hence, she figured out why the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard wanted the fruit.

“You actually know it?”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard was surprised because it didn’t expect Chen Lingrou to recognize it.

Hearing this, Chen Lingrou frowned angrily.

‘What do you mean?’

‘You’re looking down on me?’

However, she did not say anything and had no choice but to bow down because she was under someone else’s roof.

“Why haven’t I seen the monkey you mentioned?”

Chen Lingrou continued.

She did not care about this fruit. What she cared about was the white monkey that the other party mentioned.

Although the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard told her that the monkey was not strong, Chen Lingrou did not believe it because she wanted to see it for herself.

“It should be sleeping.”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said.

“Since he’s sleeping, why don’t you wait until nighttime?”

“If he sleeps during the day, won’t he wake up at night?”

Chen Lingrou asked.

“Since you know the Qilin Divine Fruit, can’t you see that the fruit is not ripe yet?”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard looked at Chen Lingrou with its eyes full of disdain.

Chen Lingrou was enraged.

She had only seen the appearance of the Divine Fruit in the book, how could she know if it was ripe or not?

“Okay, the fruit will be ripe in a few days, you can sleep now, I will call you then.”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said.

“I feel like I still can’t do it. Why don’t you send me back to the sect and I ask my Senior Sister and Junior Brother for help?”

Chen Lingrou suggested.

“I told you, that monkey isn’t strong so hurry and get some rest. I’ll call you when the fruit is ripe.”

The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said.

Chen Lingrou was helpless. At this point, she couldn’t sleep at all. She could only stay at the side quietly.

At the same time, in a certain fire area.

There was a golden phoenix furnace on Xu Luochen’s head and he looked extremely haggard.

He was initially studying alchemy and array formations in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

However, something strange happened in the Qingyun Dao Sect and he heard Da Xu yelling about attacking the enemy.

The next thing he knew, he ended up here.

He did not know where this place was as there was boundless fire everywhere. If it wasn’t for the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace, he would have already died.

He also thought about leaving this place, but it was full of flames and he couldn’t find the exit.

Besides, he was too weak to be wandering around there.

The most upsetting thing for him was that after being here for so long, he hadn’t seen a single person.

It was normal. After all, no one would come here for no reason unless they had a death wish.

It was too unbearable.

“Is there anyone out there? Help!”

“Someone, I am Xu Luochen. My Senior Brother is Ye Ping.”

Although there was no one, Xu Luochen insisted on yelling everyday.

However, at this moment, Xu Luochen heard the sound of footsteps.

He immediately perked up and yelled, “Help! Help me!”

At the same time, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

On the rear cliff, Su Changyu was quietly holding Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse while his hair was fluttering in the wind.

There were major changes in his appearance and aura.

It could no longer be described in words.

He should exist only in heaven, but he somehow ended up in the mortal world.

Perhaps, he was an immortal so everything paled in comparison to him.

His only shortcoming was the faint killing intent between his brows. He seemed aloof, mighty, indifferent, and transcendent.

At this moment, Su Changyu gently put down Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse and stood up.

His eyes moved slightly with an indifferent gaze, seemingly ignoring everything.

He struck a divine technique.

In a moment, time traveled backwards and a scene appeared.

The scene showed a group of black-clothed people stepping into the Qingyun Dao Sect a few days ago and Daoist Tai Hua removing his spirit talisman while a middle-aged man walked towards him.

Su Changyu looked at the scene in front of him calmly despite seeing Daoist Tai Hua get killed by the middle-aged man.

Afterwards…

Su Changyu put away Daoist’s corpse.

“Array formation!”

Su Changyu exclaimed in an indifferent but soft voice.

The array pattern appeared and Su Changyu instantly vanished.
