Indeed as the Head Chief had said, although a Supreme Dao Fruit was a good thing, it also meant an ordinary Supreme Dao elite warrior. In fact, consuming the Supreme Dao Fruit was simply a tactic to increase the number of Supreme Dao elite warriors.

To Supreme Dao elite warriors, consuming the Supreme Dao Fruit meant admitting defeat. It would be a form of lacking confidence of breaking the barrier to enter the Supreme Dao Stage.

Of course, this was only a saying. There was no need to doubt the attraction of the Supreme Dao Fruit to those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Although one at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage would also live a long life, they were nothing when compared to the Supreme Dao Stage.

Supreme Dao elite warriors would have an unbreakable divine soul for this would be the everlasting benevolent rule!

The Head Chief asked again, “Inside the Qin Clan, how many are at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage?”

Qin Yunran thought. “Among the twelve great Honored Warriors, there are four at the Peak of the Common Mysterious. The remaining eight are at the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage.”

“For those warriors, the Supreme Dao Fruit would not be related to them. We need people that can become Supreme Dao warriors as soon as they consume it. What are the qualifications of those four at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage? Who are they?”

“For these four Honored Warriors, they are Honored Warrior Zhi Huai, Zhi Song, Zhi Bo, and Zhi Tong!” Qin Chongyang said with great familiarity. “Honored Warrior Zhi Huai and Zhi Song are slightly younger, but they are also six and seven hundred years old. Zhi Song and Zhi Tong are already passed one thousand years of age.”

“For them, do they possess the confidence to breakthrough the Supreme Dao Stage?” Head Chief asked.

“Honored Warrior Zhi Huai has always been confident. For the other three, Zhi Tong is rather indolent, Zhi Song is too coarse and somewhat grave, and Zhi Bo shows initiative for acute determination, but possess slightly less talent. In general, if Honored Warrior Zhi Huai got rid of the turmoil in his heart, he would be the one most hopeful to enter the Supreme Dao Stage on his own!”

The Head Chief laughed. “Excellent, then this is it! You will announce to the outside world, say there are only three Supreme Dao Fruit. For the remaining two, one will be rewarded to Qin Wushuang, for the other one, you will keep it. There will always be a priority with things, it will be used when needed. If Zhi Huai has the confidence, let him try to break through on his own. If not, then consider giving him the last Supreme Dao Fruit. Let’s polish his temperament.”

Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang both felt the distribution arranged by the Head Chief was most reasonable. They said respectfully, “We will follow your order, Head Chief.”

The Head Chief said again, “Go to the Upright Morality Hall first and act as we say. Besides, that Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan has suffered a great loss. With Xin Tianwen’s personality, certainly he will not be prepared to let this go. You guys must stay vigilant. For any movements, you must inform me instantly. However, I will be out in a few months time. In the future sixteen years, I will oversee the outlook of the Qin Clan personally!”

The tone of Head Chief had a sense of grave seriousness.

In the next sixteen years would be the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor election.

…

At the Upright Morality Hall, a group of the Qin higher officials and core disciples had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the appearance of the two Chiefs and the two major disciples, their features had brightened up and displayed endless delightfulness. They had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, when they saw Qin Wushuang walking side by side with Qin Taichong and the Chief, no one felt uneasy with this newcomer.

With these recent results, how could they dare say Qin Wushuang did not deserve to be next to Qin Taichong? The problem now was, who would be qualified to stand in the same rank as Qin Wushuang from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?

Qin Yunran sat down as he waved his hand and got straight to the point, “Third, you should speak.”

Qin Chongyang did not decline modestly as he nodded. “Everyone, today we are going to announce several exciting updates. First of all, the date for the end of the solitary training of the Head Chief has arrived, soon he will come out to oversee the general situation of the Qin Clan. For the clan, we will have a firm and upright backbone, a more powerful supporter.”

“The second matter is also the one everyone is most concerned with. Indeed, we have seized an absolute victory from our trip to the Karakorum Immortal Clan. We gained the championship and fourth place. In total, we have three Supreme Dao Fruit, one piece of Supreme Dao armor and one weapon!”

As soon as he spoke these words, there was a burst of loud cheering from beneath the stage. Everyone was cheering. Upon hearing the Chief announce it personally, such a feeling was incomparable to the rumors.

Qin Yunran held the prepared utensil holding the three Supreme Dao Fruit in hand. The three Supreme Dao Fruit were glistening and dispersed a powerful Supreme Dao light that caught the eyes of everyone.

Some disciples with less control swallowed their drool as their eyes were bulging from their sockets.

“Supreme Dao Fruit, tsk, no wonder it’s the Supreme Dao Fruit. That color, that aura…”

“Ha ha, Supreme Dao Fruit, we have such great fortune to get even one Supreme Dao Fruit.”

The disciples all commented in awe and the hall was filled with buzzing conversation. Admiration and a sense of longing filled the entire hall.

“For the third matter, I am to tell everyone. Xin Wuji from the Heavenly Emperor Gates displayed unbridled haughtiness and provoked Qin Wushuang this whole trip. He was killed by Qin Wushuang through martial arts power and wit!”

Killing Xin Wuji was definitely an incredible thing. Everyone knew what Xin Wuji was destined for the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.

That high and lofty young man, the one who claimed to be blessed by the heavens was killed by Qin Wushuang. Even though they had all heard the rumours, their faces were shocked as though they were hearing it for the first time.

Even that Qin Shaohong felt endlessly ashamed. Initially, he thought that he had climbed all over Qin Wushuang. Now thinking back, most likely Qin Wushuang had truly left him some face. Or else, with Qin Wushuang’s power that allowed him to kill Xin Wuji, it would be easy as turning a palm to kill Qin Shaohong.

Even Honored Warrior Zhi Huai had almost shared the same feeling. Since Qin Wushuang was able to kill Xin Wuji, he could also kill him, this so-called Honored Warrior.

This was definitely not a joke. Although Honored Warrior Zhi Huai was an old fox, in terms of power, equipment, talent, how could he be compared with the son of the Heavenly Emperor?

“Everyone, as the Heavenly Emperor Gate has experienced such great loss, certainly they will not let it go. Therefore, everyone from the Qin Clan must be extra vigilant. For my clan, in sixteen years, we hold great ambition. Certainly, the Heavenly Emperor Gate will not sit idly by to watch us rise. Therefore, in the next sixteen years, especially in the next three to five years, perhaps these will be the most difficult times for the clan! If we endure it, the light will shine on us. Additionally, we will be like the powerful morning sun with the power to make a comeback and replace the Xin Clan. We will again hold the position as Heavenly Emperor, carrying justice for the heavens!”

Qin Chongyang’s tone was filled with exaggeration.

His words had lit up the young and the old eyes of the Qin Clan. All of them turned serious and fervent rays of light emerged from their eyes.

Qin Chongyang struck while the iron was hot as he said again, “I believe everyone has expected news about the Supreme Dao Fruit. Regarding the meaning of the Supreme Dao Fruit, I want to ask you all, do you know what this means?”

“Yes, of course we know.”

“A Supreme Dao Fruit means a Supreme Dao elite warrior! Anyone would know this, right?”

“Yes, if a person didn’t know about the fruit, then they have lived in vain!”

Everyone voiced their viewpoint. Qin Chongyang said with a slight smile, “That’s right, a Supreme Dao Fruit means a Supreme Dao elite warrior. What does a Supreme Dao warrior mean? You all know this. To the Qin Clan, Supreme Dao elite warriors are the greatest capital for the Qin Clan to fight for power! It is also the most important factor for the competition between all powerhouses!”

Qin Chongyang looked around with a faint smile for he was calm and collected. He swept across everyone’s face and observed their expression.

“How to distribute them… Everyone probably has an idea, right?”

“For the Supreme Dao Fruit, only elite warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage can break into the Supreme Dao Stage after consuming it. Those not at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage will not make it work. Besides, you must be possessing the strength at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage now. It’s because the Qin Clan needs combat power now! The sooner the better!”

As soon as he said these words, initially those at the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage and the Perfect Void Martial Stage had all given up instantly. Despite holding a little bit of expectations, even if they knew the situation of winning the lottery might not appear, they could not refrain from longing for it. However, the words from Qin Chongyang, the Third Chief, had completely ruled them out.

Of course, they were also speechless. In terms of power, they were less than those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. In terms of experience, clearly they were also less.

Qin Chongyang swept across the entire scene with fierce eyes. “I know that among you warriors, perhaps someone feels unconvinced and would feel that you should also have a share to this Supreme Dao Fruit.”

“I only want to say, since Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong were the ones who seized the Supreme Dao Fruit, they have not even reached the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Therefore, they are also not consuming the Supreme Dao Fruit! In terms of qualifications, which one of you would be more qualified than them?”

Instantly, Qin Chongyang’s words had annihilated the last trace of dissatisfaction they would have.

If Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong could not acquire it, thinking carefully, they truly did not have the capital to complain. Could they be more qualified than Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong?

However, now the problem had appeared again. Currently, there were four at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage in the Qin Clan. They were Zhi Huai, Zhi Song, Zhi Bo and Zhi Tong.

These four were all at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. How would the distribution work when there were only three Supreme Dao Fruit?

Everyone carried this question as they looked at Qin Chongyang. Clearly, they wanted to see how this Third Chief would take care of this situation.

“Zhi Huai, Zhi Song, Zhi Bo and Zhi Tong, you four are the most qualified to consume it. However, there are only three Supreme Dao Fruit, how should we distribute them? Why don’t you tell us?”

These four looked at each other in dismay. Zhi Tong had the most indolent personality and was not the hardest working one during training. He chuckled. “Two Chiefs, in terms of talent, qualification, and degree of hard work, I am the last to come out. If you distribute it to me, I will take it. If not, I will go in peace.”

When he said it this way, the others would not be able to say anything else.

Zhi Song was a rather coarse guy as he laughed. “Chief, I know myself the best, I will not have the hope to break into the Supreme Dao Stage on my own in my lifetime. If you give me this chance, I will for sure fight to death for this clan.”

Zhi Bo was a silent person. He only laughed and did not speak anything.

Everyone turned to look at Zhi Huai and wanted to see how he would make his statement.

Zhi Huai welcomed everyone’s look and said honestly, “Second Chief, I give up on this Supreme Dao Fruit. I want to rely on my own strength to break through. Also, I have more than a fifty percent chance!”

Give up?

He would rely on a fifty percent chance instead of the promising ninety-five percent chance? Everyone felt it was because Zhi Huai was too embarrassed to accept it. Qin Wushuang had seized this Supreme Dao Fruit. Everyone also knew about the little dispute between Honored Warrior Zhi Huai and Qin Wushuang from before…

…

Just when people at the Qin Clan were discussing of how to distribute the Supreme Dao Fruit, at the divine palace of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, Xin Tianwen gathered all Supreme Dao elite warriors. Including the Supreme Dao elite warriors of the Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect, they had gathered together and discussed their grand scheme to attack the Qin Clan!
