Due to the monstrous performance of Wei Yi and Zhuo Buqun, the five Palace Masters were also stimulated. Especially Head Palace Master Zhuo Buqun and Second Palace Master Tan Zhongchi, who both achieved a rapid leap with their strength. They achieved a breakthrough and had successfully entered the Perfect Void Martial Stage.

For the other three Palace Masters, Guardians and Shakyamuni, a few of them entered the Profound Void Martial Stage. More kept breaking into the Transformation Void Martial Stage as well.

This was also a drive brought on by the overall trend. Perhaps, the current Stargaze Palace would not be powerful enough if they were to enter the Xuan Yuan Mound and aim for the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate; however, it was enough for them to make claims as equal with those second rated powerhouses.

Before Mu Rong Qianji and Luo Tongtian entered the Supreme Dao Stage, they were only at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. For those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage overseeing the sects, they could be regarded as elite warriors of the second rate powerhouses.

Once an elite warrior at the Supreme Dao Stage appeared, it meant they had entered the next level and could rise to the ranks of the first-rate powerhouses. At the Xuan Yuan Mound, initially there were twelve or thirteen first-rate powerhouses. Now, the Floating Snow House was added to it.

Initially, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect would have rose to success when Luo Tongtian entered the Supreme Dao Stage. Unfortunately, Luo Tongtian lived a short life and was killed by Qin Wushuang. Therefore, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect fell instantly.

When Luo Tongtian was chasing to kill Qin Wushuang, their four Daoist Warriors were shot to death. Luo Hengye, the Second leader was already captured by the Qin Clan and became Third Chief Qin Chongyang’s prisoner. Currently, he was already killed. Tian Mingshan, the Third Leader lost his life during the Ten Thousand Flower Valley trip at the Illusion Heavenly Lake.

In other words, only one of the four Daoist Warriors were left. He was the one with the least talent and achievements.

Plus that huge ruckus caused by Qin Wushuang previously when he destroyed the spiritual ley lines at the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect was incapable of regaining their strength from that disaster.

If the Stargaze Palace were to march into the Xuan Yuan Mound now, certainly they would be guaranteed to be in the ranks of the second-tier powerhouses. After all, this was only a matter of comparing strength.

This being said, as long as there were no changes happening to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, it was impossible for them to enter the Xuan Yuan Mound. If they did, the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan would not let them have it easy. Surely, they would make their lives difficult for them. By that time, it would be walking right into a trap if they entered the Xuan Yuan Mound.

Therefore, to march into the Xuan Yuan Mound, there must be the appropriate conditions. That would be if the Qin Clan can turn their defeat into victory and seize the Heavenly Emperor throne.

This would be for the best.

Even if this situation did not happen, if neither the Xin or the Qin Clan side wins, the Yun Clan could come out of nowhere to seize the Heavenly Emperor position and rule over it.

Under this circumstance, the Stargaze Palace could still march into the Xuan Yuan Mound.

At least, the Yun Clan did not share grudges with the Qin Clan and Qin Wushuang. They would not make things difficult for the Stargaze Palace nor do dirty little tricks.

…

Inside the Bai Yue Country, the Heavenly Royal City was as lively and flourishing as it was in the past. However, inside the Qin royal mansion, the atmosphere was somewhat depressed. Since Qin Wushuang went missing for ten years and without any news, it caused Qin Lianshan who loved Wushuang dearly to not have any energy to take care of relative matters within the mansion.

Naturally, Qin Xiu’s care to her little brother Qin Wushuang would not lose to her father, Qin Lianshan. However, not only would she need to bear everything, she must also console and enlighten Mu Rong Xu.

In these ten years, Mu Rong Xu lived with the Qin Clan. Although she was not married, Mu Rong Xu already viewed herself as a daughter-in-law to the Qin Clan.

She also gradually walked out from the initial sadness and pain. Rationality told her that before the truth was revealed, it would be useless to be blindly sorrowful.

Before the Qin Clan’s ancestral house, Qin Lianshan was walking over there. Just when he approached, he saw his daughter Qin Xiu standing next to the door. When she saw her father coming, Qin Xiu made a gesture and a trace of sadness flit across her expression. She turned back to look inside the ancestral house.

“Is Miss Mu Rong inside?” Qin Lianshan asked.

“Yes, for these ten years, this girl has gone through so much pain. Wushuang, if you are alright, hurry and come home,” Qin Xiu whispered and her eye sockets turned red unconsciously.

Qin Lianshan forced a smile and said, “Xu’Er, console Miss Mu Rong more. Senior Brother Tan, the Second Palace Master of the Stargaze Palace keeps sending letters to console me, he is sure that Wushuang is alive.”

Qin Xiu nodded heavily. “Yes, Father, I also firmly believe that Wushuang is alive! Many times that has been Wushuang met with danger, the outside world widely spreads news about his death. In the end, he always comes back safe and sound. This time, he will surely not disappoint us.”

“That’s right, Brother Tan said Wushuang is not a short-lived and unlucky person. Secondly, per his speculation, Zhao Muzhi and Wei Yi turned misfortune into blessing because of Wushuang. Behind this great fortune, it could also prove that perhaps Wushuang is not dead. Or else, why would that person sell such huge favor for a dead person? Thirdly, for the tens and thousands of years, the Qin Clan has gone through many hardships. Each time, a major figure arrives with great fortune! Wushuang is this person with great fortune, the great character to save the Qin Clan…”

Although Qin Lianshan’s analysis was more or less subjective, one must say that it still made sense when looking from other aspects.

At this moment, Mu Rong Xu walked out from inside.

Qin Xiu immediately walked up and gently embraced Mu Rong Xu’s shoulder. She consoled her, “Xu’Er, don’t make things difficult for yourself. Take care of yourself. When Wushuang is back, he will also feel distressed if he were to see you so thin.”

Mu Rong Xu squeezed out a smile forcefully. “Sister, I am fine. I also believe that Brother Qin is alright. He promised me that he would come to the Floating Snow House to marry me. He would not let those family elders send me off with guilt and with regret. He will be back!”

“Yes, any news from Bao Bao and Lone?” Qin Lianshan suddenly asked.

“Bao Bao and Lone, along with Fire Kylin who Qin Wushuang newly subdued, seem to be in dead solitary training at the Dispersed Praying Mountain.” Mu Rong Xu continued, “Bao Bao also said, Fire Kylin shares a master-servant contract with Brother Qin. If something happens to Brother Qin, the contract with Fire Kylin should dissolve. However, the divine venomous contract on the Fire Kylin still exists. Although Fire Kylin can also not perceive the existence of Brother Qin, the existence of the contract is also another proof to show that Brother Qin is fine!”

“Yes, I say that Wushuang is always fine after going through all those major life and death crisis. This time, he will also be fine.” Qin Xiu had a form of natural confidence with her brother Qin Wushuang.

Mu Rong Xu gave a slight sigh. “I am just worried that Brother Qin is being controlled by the disordered space crack and can not get out. He maybe cannot advance or get out.”

Qin Lianshan shook his head firmly. “That will not happen. A person with great fortune will have his way to get out of a mess like that. Unless Wushuang is a short-lived person, even if he is being controlled by the disordered space air flow, he will have his way to get out.”

…

“Achoo!” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang sneezed. In these ten years, Qin Wushuang had numerous similar sneezes.

Qin Wushuang laughed at himself. “Xu’Er, sisters, and the others must be missing me. I wonder what kind of changes have happened to the outside world in these ten years…”

A surge of urgent desire rose from his chest. Such form of desire propelled him to wanting to get out and to learn the situation of the outside world for the first time. He wanted to know the situation in his home, his sect, and how his beloved people were doing.

Of course, besides such great love for the world, the great resentment also propelled him to be filled with longing for the outside world.

The Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan, the other sects who were helping the enemy, the Golden Crow who pushed him into the space crack, and those potential enemies that stayed hidden and kept the Graceful Spiritual Bow constantly in their mind were all sources of his great resentment.

This hatred accumulated and compounded every day. Transforming into bursts of evil thoughts, combined with the murderous intention of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it made Qin Wushuang’s entire being appear as if he trained for hundreds of years. He was filled with a steaming murderous spirit.

Initially, the Graceful Spiritual Bow was the divine weapon for killing and suppression. It grew during the killing and entered the Dao through killing. It would be established after destruction.

Without great death, this would not be possible. The great order would be out of the question.

The Heavenly Emperor Mountain needed to reshuffle their cards. To build great order, there must be killing.

The Tian Xuan Land needed to reshuffle their cards. To build the great order, there must also be killing.

In these ten years, Qin Wushuang gained much understanding. In the end, he walked to his current position because he was less strong than the others and was inferior to other influential people.

If without the interference of the totem elite warrior, the Xin Clan would not be able to do anything to the Qin Clan.

The totem elite warrior was capable of interfering because of their formidable power. They were powerful enough to ignore the rules and capable of trampling over the Qin Clan at will.

This form of suppression deeply stimulated that burst of resisting willpower that was deep inside Qin Wushuang’s heart. The evil tendencies buried deep inside of him were brewing.

Regardless of his former or current life, Qin Wushuang never compromised!

“Ah!” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang let out a long whistle to the sky. As if a river filled with sediment was suddenly unblocked, a mouthful of anger gushed out violently like galloping waves.

“Break through! Hurry and break through. I can do it, the Third Calamity, I can do it!” An incredibly confident voice surged from Qin Wushuang’s mind.

He made continuous hand signs and like a rainbow, the sword Qi of the Coagulated Sword technique kept shooting out from his fingertips. Bursts of Supreme Dao sword power kept flowing from his gestures. It seemed as if countless flying dragons danced in the sky and were scattered in disarray.

Followed with Qin Wushuang’s increase of strength, this Coagulated Sword technique also kept getting leveled up. Currently, with Qin Wushuang’s Transformation Supreme Dao strength, he could already congeal this sword Qi into the Supreme Dao sword region.

This sword region was completely different than the previous sword Qi.

If the sword Qi was only a lined shape attack, then the sword region was a three-dimensional attack. When one sword shot out, under natural effects, the gathering of the Supreme Dao power would evolve to form a Supreme Dao territory. Within this territory, millions and thousands of Supreme Dao swords would rumble to attack together. Compared to the attacks from the Spiritual Martial Force Stage, the formidable power could have increased to ten million times more.

Coagulated Sword, the Big Dipper Technique, and the Deep North Skill were the three major techniques Qin Wushuang practiced the most in these ten years. They were also the techniques that evolved the most. Almost following Qin Wushuang’s advancement, they kept getting leveled up and showing endless potential.

Of course, Qin Wushuang worked this hard to train these techniques for his future close-quarter combats. When just relying on the Graceful Spiritual Bow alone, he would not always have the opportunity to attack from a distance when meeting a true elite warrior.

Therefore, in these ten years, Qin Wushuang also deliberately trained these close-quarter combat techniques to increase his overall combat skills. Although the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings were still at the second last stage and one step away from the Yin and Yang Supreme Ultimate Stage, the power of these wings was very different from the past.

“Once I pass this Calamity, I can get out.” Qin Wushuang thought about it this way. Vividly, he pondered about it and thought, “My spiritual perception is already sensing this Third Calamity. Unfortunately, I cannot control the divine calamity. What I can do is to urge it and wait for its arrival.”
