Chapter 56: Changes In The Qin Royal Family

In the Southern Region's cultivation world, all sorts of things were taking place every day.

As for news regarding the Asura Ancient Land, Chu Xuan wondered whether or not the major factions of the Southern Region were aware of this huge matter.

Chu Xuan had passed on the refining method of the communication talisman to Su Xian'er, but Su Xian'er had not been able to refine it.

The level of the communication talisman that was occasionally refined was too low, which resulted in it being unusable.

He was very helpless about this. Su Xian'er did not appear to have any talent for refining artifacts, so he could only look for another person who had the ability to refine artifacts instead.

Chu Xuan also placed the system reward of the lucky mystic realm in the small courtyard.

The power of the two lucky mystic realms should be able to attract those with great luck over again, right?

The following days passed peacefully.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Xuan had been secluded in the courtyard for almost three years.

When he reached the two-year milestone, the system rewarded him with the Heaven-revolving Universe Formation, and an extremely powerful divine ability, the Heaven-sealing Forbidden Technique!

This was the first time Chu Xuan had received a divine ability as a reward.

After the Heaven-revolving Universe Formation was set up, there would be a universe inside the formation, forming an independent space that no one outside the formation could pry into.

Those who were sealed inside would also be unable to escape and were fated to be strangled to death inside.

Since the Heaven-revolving Universe Formation had its own space, once it was set up, it would be as if a space had been opened up. It would allow one to cultivate in seclusion within the formation.

The first thing Chu Xuan did was to set up the Heaven-revolving Universe Formation in his small courtyard.

Although the small courtyard looked no different to how it had always been, there was actually a universe hidden within it now.

Su Xian'er was extremely shocked by Chu Xuan's methods. Such a powerful formation was unheard of even in the Central Region.

To think that it actually formed a universe and separate space.

Although there was now a hidden space in the small courtyard, Chu Xuan still stayed in the courtyard. His range of activities was still limited to the courtyard.

Su Xian'er liked to cultivate in the universe space.

On the other hand, the Heaven-sealing Forbidden Technique was a powerful divine ability that could seal the laws of Heaven and Earth!

It was stronger than the domain power of the Emperor Realm, and its sealing power was even stronger.

After all, the domain power of the Emperor Realm could not seal Heaven and Earth, nor could it seal its laws.

With Chu Xuan's current strength, he could not display the true power of the Heaven-sealing Forbidden Technique.

However, with this divine ability, he could easily seal the domain power of cultivators of the same realm, rendering them immobile.

He could seal the domain power of other Emperor realm cultivators with a wave of his hand!

In the blink of an eye, he had been cooped up for almost three years. Chu Xuan was very depressed. After setting up two lucky mystic realms, so much time had passed, yet not one person with great luck had arrived.

Currently, his cultivation base had already risen to the ninth level of the Emperor realm.

During this period of time, Ren Changhe, his in-name disciple, had comprehended the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal thanks to his guidance. The system rewarded Chu Xuan with 100 years' worth of cultivation for successfully refining the aura of death into life force.

He was not far from the Supreme realm now.

Ren Changhe still had not escaped from the Fallen God Cave, but it would not be long before he did.

Chu Xuan speculated that, when Ren Changhe escaped, the system would reward him once more.

Su Xian'er's cultivation had risen to the ninth level of the void realm, and she was about to break through to the unity realm.

Thanks to the combination of her Grand Moon mystic body and the Grand Moon Immortal Spell technique she cultivated, she was perfectly capable of crossing realms and killing a first-level unity realm cultivator.

After another day of seclusion, the system rewarded him with a bag of heavenly and earthly treasure seeds.

Chu Xuan took them out and threw them to Su Xian'er.

"Plant the seeds in the universe space."

Su Xian'er took the seeds and entered the universe space.

She had already become used to doing such odd jobs.

She was very depressed and even doubted her own beauty for a while.

Why was Chu Xuan not moved by her beauty at all?

She actually would not mind if Chu Xuan touched her but, in the end, Chu Xuan's only request for her was to do odd jobs!

Chu Xuan stared at the two lucky mystic realms for a while. Why had no fated ones appeared yet?

The plan regarding the parent-child communication talisman had been delayed again and again because of this.

'Forget it, let's continue to wait.'

The next person who appeared might be even more talented than Su Xian'er.

In the past two years, Chu Yun had returned a few times. She had given Chu Xuan medicinal pills and, at the same time, she had browsed through the cultivation information that Chu Xuan had prepared for her.

Chu Yun could already refine spirit pills, and she had already refined the void unity pill a few times. However, the success rate for this was relatively low, and there was still a gap in terms of quality.

In two years, Chu Yun's cultivation had already risen to the ninth level of the profound realm. Chu Xuan estimated that she should have broken through to the spirit realm by now.

Her talent could be ranked second among the Chu family's younger generation.

The first place still went to Chu Yuan.

However, Chu Yun's alchemy talent was beyond imagination. Even the genius of the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, a big alchemy sect in the Southern Region, was far inferior to Chu Yun.

The person who was secretly protecting Chu Yun had been replaced with a first-level truth realm expert from the Black Moon Tower.

Zhang Kui was an evil cultivator after all, so some situations would not be convenient for him to handle.

Moreover, Chu Yun had always believed that a senior expert was secretly training her and testing her alchemy talent.

Half a month ago, Chu Yun had sent someone to send a letter back. She had already left Chu County and left the Qin Kingdom to train.

Chu Xuan was not worried about her safety.

Even if the truth realm expert from the Black Moon Tower failed to protect her, the emperor-level power in Chu Yun's body would ensure her safety.

The major forces in the Southern Region still did not have an Emperor realm expert. The laws of Heaven and Earth had not been restored either, so no one could break through.

In addition, there were no Emperor realm experts from outside the Southern Region.

The only Emperor realm expert that could possibly do her harm was the one from the Black Moon Tower.

However, given the situation in the Southern Region, that person's strength was probably only at the first level of the Emperor realm.

"Sir, there seems to have been some changes in the Qin royal family."

Su Xian'er handed him a piece of information.

"Changes in the Qin royal family?"

Qin Keyun's figure immediately surfaced in Chu Xuan's mind.

If there were changes in the Qin royal family, it would likely have something to do with her.

After examining the information, he discovered that the current Qin Kingdom emperor, who was the current head of the Qin royal family, had abdicated!

It seemed that he was forced to abdicate.

Currently, the Qin Kingdom was in a state where the old emperor abdicated, and a new emperor had yet to ascend to the throne. The Qin royal family was also currently without a head.

The Black Moon Tower did not have specific details on what had happened.

The Zhao, He, and Chu families were actually unaware about the changes going on in the Qin royal family as well.

Chu Xuan realized that the situation in the Qin Kingdom was about to change.

Perhaps it would even be to the extent that the entire situation in the Southern Region would change.

Small countries like the Great Zhou and Purple Moon Kingdoms might even probably be destroyed and unified.

The reincarnation of the demon; the soul of the Fox Demon!

Chu Xuan muttered to himself, "I wonder if you are a human or a demon in this life?"

…

In the Qin royal family's ancestral land, all of the direct descendants of the Qin royal family and the family elders were gathered.

A woman stood on an altar.

She had a peerless appearance, and there was a hint of viciousness hidden behind her obedient expression. Her bright eyes flickered with a demonic light.

Qin Keyun!

She looked as obedient as ever.

However, the viciousness on her face and the bewitching look in her eyes indicated that she was somehow different.

In the entire ancestral land, only two people were standing, while the rest were prostrating themselves on the ground.

One of the two standing was Qin Keyun, who was standing on the altar, and the other was Qin Pingxia, who was standing under the altar.

"From today onward, I am the Empress of the Qin Kingdom and the head of the Qin family! Who opposes me? Who supports me?"

Qin Keyun looked down at the people of the Qin royal family.

The ancestral land was completely silent. Among the people of the Qin royal family, there was not a single person who opposed or supported her.

"The Asura Ancient Land will soon open. This is an opportunity for the Qin royal family to rise. Those who don't agree with me can step forward. As long as they survive one of my moves, the position of the head of the Qin royal family will belong to them!"

There was still no one who spoke up.

"Since you all support me, then from today onward, I will be in charge of both the Qin royal family and the Qin Kingdom!"

The aura on Qin Keyun's body surged forth, revealing her cultivation as a ninth-level truth realm cultivator.

Chapter 57: The Qin Royal Family's Coup

"Now, listen to my command. Everyone, provide a drop of blood essence and open the Qin royal family's altar!" Qin Keyun ordered.

Qin Pingxia immediately squeezed out a drop of blood essence, which floated towards Qin Keyun.

The other people who were kneeling on the ground hesitated for a brief moment before squeezing out their blood essence, which also floated toward the altar.

Qin Keyun raised her hand and waved it. All the blood essence gathered in her palm and formed a symbol that sank into the center of the altar.

Buzz!

Light blossomed from the altar.

A majestic phantom appeared from the altar.

Even though it was just a phantom, it gave off a powerful pressure. Everyone present felt somewhat suffocated.

Qin Keyun prostrated herself on the ground.

Qin Pingxia also prostrated herself on the ground.

All of the members of the Qin royal family were shocked when they saw the majestic phantom on the altar.

The altar was something that the Qin royal family had guarded for generations. It was rumored that the ancestor of the Qin royal family had left it behind.

However, no one knew what the altar was used for until now.

Up until now, all they knew was that cultivating around and on the altar would make it easier for one to break through bottlenecks. Their cultivation speed would be faster and their foundations would be more solid.

This was also the fundamental reason why the Qin royal family had always been stronger than the other three families.

"Keyun greets ancestor!"

Qin Keyun knelt on the ground as the phantom of a White Fox appeared behind her. She also knelt on the ground.

The majestic phantom suddenly lowered its head and looked at Keyun.

Its eyes suddenly bloomed with light.

Its spiritual will was transmitted.

"Keyun, you are finally here."

Everyone in the Qin royal family was shocked and their hearts were burning. Could it be that the Qin royal family's ancestor was still alive?

It was rumored that the ancestor of the Qin royal family was extremely powerful.

"Ancestor, the Qin royal family has already declined and the Qin Kingdom has long fallen. Keyun is lacking but wants to restore the power of the Qin Kingdom!" Qin Keyun said in a low voice.

The majestic phantom raised its hand and caressed Qin Keyun's head. It seemed to be caressing the phantom of the White Fox.

Pew!

Two rays of light shot out from the majestic phantom's eyes and entered Qin Keyun's forehead. The majestic phantom gradually began to dissipate.

"The descendants of the Qin royal family will obey Keyun and await my return!"

The majestic phantom disappeared and a whirlpool-like hole appeared at the center of the altar.

Qin Keyun stood up and her aura fluctuated. She had actually advanced to the peak of the ninth level of the truth realm.

However, she did not break through to the Emperor realm.

She looked at the altar and said, "All of you, stand up."

Only then did the members of the Qin royal family stand up and look at the woman on the altar. All of them had complicated expressions on their faces.

It was not hard to guess that she had some sort of relationship with the ancestor of the Qin royal family.

"The inheritance of the Qin royal family was previously lost. Just now, the ancestor passed down the inheritance to continue the glory of the Qin royal family. All of you should work hard and cultivate."

Qin Keyun took out a blank booklet and engraved the cultivation technique on it before handing it over to Qin Pingxia.

"Recall all the experts of the Qin royal family from the Great Qian Dynasty. The Zhao, He, and Chu families are the subjects of the Qin royal family. From today onward, the Qin country will no longer be governed by the four families!"

"I will be in seclusion for a few more days. Leave the matters of the Qin royal family to my mother and a few elders. All of you may leave."

Everyone from the Qin royal family left one after another. Qin Pingxia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Keyun, I'm afraid that the Great Qian Dynasty will not allow the experts of the Qin royal family to return."

"It's fine. When I come out of seclusion, the Great Qian Dynasty will have no choice but to agree."

"You are going to break through to the Emperor realm?"

Qin Pingxia was shocked. The Southern Region did not have any Emperor-level cultivators. If Qin Keyun broke through, she would be the strongest expert in the Southern Region.

It would not be impossible for the Qin royal family to unify the Southern Region then.

"It will take some time," Qin Keyun shook her head and said.

After Qin Pingxia left, Qin Keyun entered the passageway in the middle of the altar and arrived at a small space.

She sat down cross-legged and began to consolidate her cultivation.

The White Fox phantom appeared and the power of her soul began to spread out.

She had been reincarnated from an emperor-level demon, so it was much easier for her to recover her cultivation and break through to the Emperor realm compared to the others.

However, due to the incomplete laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region, she was unable to break through to the Emperor realm.

In this special space, she had a chance to break through to the Emperor realm. However, her accumulation was currently insufficient and she was unable to break through within such a short period of time.

There was only one way to increase her strength in a short time.

She could use the soul of the Fox Demon to create the domain power of an Emperor realm expert.

Even if it was just a fake domain, it would be enough to make her the strongest among the half-emperor cultivators in the Southern Region.

Only then would she have the right to compete with the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Qin royal family had been in decline for far too long and would not be able to match the Great Qian Empire within a short period of time. However, as long as her own strength was sufficient, she could stabilize the situation, or maybe even tip the balance. From that point on, the Qin royal family's foundation would be activated and their strength would increase rapidly.

The Zhao, He, and Chu families had all been subordinate families of the Qin royal family's ancestors, so they should also be in possession of their ancestor's foundation. However, they did not know how to activate it.

Qin Keyun had already decided that the Qin Kingdom had to be unified, ending the situation where the four families ruled together and allowing the Qin royal family to activate the foundations of the other three families. The overall strength of the Qin Kingdom would then increase by leaps and bounds within a short period of time.

If the other three families did not comply and continued to insist on being independent aristocratic families, then they could not blame her for being ruthless.

No one knew what had happened to the Qin royal family.

Even the Black Moon Tower only knew that there had been a change in the Qin royal family. They could not find out the specific details.

Chu Xuan did not care about the changes happening in the Qin royal family. No matter how much it changed, it would not affect him.

Currently, he was still the strongest cultivator in the Southern Region.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was looking at a piece of information regarding the Qin royal family from the Black Moon Tower.

The Qin family had sent people to the Great Qian Dynasty to summon the experts of the Qin royal family back.

The Great Qian Dynasty was the ruler of the southern kingdoms.

It was also the strongest force that stood against the evil imperial court.

They would not relax their control over the subordinate kingdoms.

The unity realm experts from the subordinate kingdoms had to go to the Great Qian Dynasty to await orders. They were not allowed to leave the Great Qian Dynasty without permission.

This was also the reason why the Chu family had existed for so long without a unity realm expert.

Anyone who broke through to the unity realm had to report to the Great Qian Dynasty. Otherwise, they would be suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty if they were discovered to have been hiding a unity realm expert.

The Qin family was the royal family, so they allowed a unity realm expert to stay behind.

The evil imperial court also restricted heretic cultivators in a similar manner, so it was very difficult to find unity realm heretic cultivators outside the evil imperial court. The two sides were actually concentrating their forces and fighting against each other.

It would probably be difficult for the Qin royal family to summon their experts back from the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if they had some valid excuses, the Great Qian Dynasty would at most allow one to return.

In truth, everyone knew that unity realm experts sent to the Great Qian Dynasty would easily be used as cannon fodder in battles against the evil imperial court.

However, the Great Qian Dynasty was so powerful that no one dared to go against it.

"There's going to be a good show to watch."

Chu Xuan was curious where the Qin royal family had found the confidence to challenge the Great Qian Dynasty.

The situation of the Qin Kingdom being ruled by the four families was probably about to come to an end.

"Sir, I'm about to break through."

Su Xian'er's aura surged. She was about to break through to the unity realm.

"Go ahead."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

After Su Xian'er obtained the Grand Moon Immortal Spell, she had spent quite a bit of time consolidating her foundation. Otherwise, she would have broken through to the unity realm long ago.

One day later, Su Xian'er successfully broke through to the unity realm.

Chu Xuan was reading the report from the Black Moon Tower when the system's notification appeared.

"Your maid, Su Xian'er, has broken through under your superb training and guidance. You have been rewarded with ten years' worth of cultivation!"

Su Xian'er had broken through, and the system had rewarded him for her cultivation increase?

Chu Xuan was overjoyed and immediately received the reward.

After that, his strength improved yet again, but not to the point where he reached the Supreme realm.

Chu Xuan was not surprised. Ten years of cultivation was in no way sufficient to break through the bottleneck.

However, he had now found a new way to quickly increase his strength.

Chapter 58: Great Qin's Great Empress? Kneel!

Taking in disciples!

Ren Changhe, this in-name disciple, had comprehended the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal technique of refining the aura of death as life force under his tutelage. The system had then rewarded him with a cultivation boost.

Su Xian'er, his maid, had cultivated the cultivation technique he had imparted to her and received pointers from him. After she broke through to the next realm, he had also been rewarded with a cultivation boost.

As such, taking in disciples and training them would allow him to reap cultivation boost rewards from the system.

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. He had finally found a way to increase his strength quickly.

However, the requirements for taking in a disciple should not be lowered because of that.

If the disciple's talent and luck was average, even if Chu Xuan guided the disciple to a breakthrough, the system would probably not reward him with a cultivation boost.

The disciple had to be a person with great luck.

Although Ren Changhe was not a person with great luck, he was a peak-stage Heaven realm expert. As such, Chu Xuan could be considered to have crossed realms to take him in as a disciple.

Wait, no, Ren Changhe was able to meet him, so that in itself proved that the other party had great luck.

It was clear that his luck was great. Otherwise, he would not have been trapped in the Fallen God Cave. How could he have learned the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal from him and escape otherwise?

Chu Xuan looked at the two lucky mystic realms and felt somewhat depressed. They still had not attracted any people with great luck.

Should he activate the lucky secret realms and set them up somewhere else?

Chu Xuan hesitated.

"Let's wait a little longer. If no fated ones appear after the three-year mark arrives, I'll activate them."

Chu Xuan decided to activate the lucky mystic realms if no fated ones appeared after the three-year system reward.

He now had a lot of treasures, countless cultivation techniques and secret arts.

There were at least ten Emperor-level scriptures, Heaven-level scriptures, Divine arts, and secret arts. He would choose a powerful cultivation technique, along with some heavenly and earthly treasures, medicinal pills, emperor weapons and the like, and place them in the lucky mystic realms.

If someone with great luck entered, it would not be a problem for them to rely on the harvest from the lucky mystic realm to break through to the Emperor Realm, or even the Supreme realm.

Three days later, a piece of news shook the Qin Kingdom!

It also shook the entire Southern Region in an extremely short amount of time.

Qin Keyun ascended the throne and became known as the Great Qin Empress!

The Qin Kingdom also changed its name to the Great Qin Dynasty and was no longer a vassal state of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In the Southern Region, the title of Dynasty was not something that was taken lightly.

An emperor of the Great Qian Empire had been the last emperor of the Southern Region!

They had a deep foundation and a long history.

How could the Qin Dynasty compare to them?

On the day that Qin Keyun became the empress, she personally went to the Great Qian Dynasty and requested them to release the Great Qin Dynasty's experts!

On that same day, everyone found out how powerful the Great Qin Empress was.

She single-handedly suppressed ten of the Great Qian Dynasty's experts and defeated the Great Qian Dynasty's current emperor, shocking the entire Southern Region!

She even brought the Qin, Zhao, He, and Chu families to the Great Qian Dynasty and fought with the Evil King of the evil imperial court.

They used their powerful strength to heavily injure the evil king.

The Southern Region was shaken.

The Great Qin Empress became known as the one closest to the Emperor realm in the Southern Region!

In addition, she was only 25 years old!

On this day, Chu Tianming's roar echoed from within the Chu family's ancestral residence.

"Chu Yuan, you b*stard! B*stard, unfilial grandson!"

Chu Xuan curled his lips. He had expected this scene to happen.

Luckily, Chu Yuan was no longer in the Chu family's territory, or else he might have been beaten to death.

He could not help but sigh. The Fox Demon's soul had recovered, and it was so close to the Emperor realm.

The situation of the four families ruling the Qin Kingdom was about to come to an end.

The Zhao, He, and Chu families unity realm experts who returned with Qin Keyun all stayed in the Qin Kingdom and did not return to their families.

Their attitude was self-evident.

Three days later, the Great Qin Empress' decree arrived. The head of the Chu family, Chu Tianming, was instructed to enter the capital!

Chu County was to be renamed as Great Qin's Southern County, with the Chu family's territory as the center. The surrounding 300 kilometers would be the Chu family's fiefdom. Everything else would be taken back by the Great Qin Dynasty.

It was the same for the Zhao and He families.

The higher-ups of the three families met.

No one was willing to give up the territory that had been under their control for thousands of years to the Qin royal family.

However, resistance was useless.

Qin Heyun straightforwardly admitted that there was no room for negotiation. They would either become subordinates of the Great Qin Dynasty or be expelled from the Qin Kingdom.

Moreover, this was because of the good relationship between their families over the generations. Otherwise, the end result would not be as simple as expulsion.

"Great Qin's Empress is so domineering and awe-inspiring."

Su Xian'er looked at the report with admiration.

Chu Xuan glanced at her and said, "Why? Do you also want to be a Great Empress?"

"No, I just want to stay by Sir's side." Su Xian'er smiled charmingly.

"You have to remember that any Great Empress or whatnot is just an empty title. Strength is the most important thing. As long as you are strong enough, what use is a Great Empress? Won't you just suppress her with a single hand?"

"Sir is right!" Su Xian'er agreed.

Her greatest wish was to become strong enough to return to the Central Region and suppress the Su family with one hand!

She would ruthlessly slap the faces of those people and kill all those who had once coveted her beauty!

"I have to say, this girl, or rather this old witch, is still very domineering."

Chu Xuan looked at the information regarding Qin Keyun and clicked his tongue as he sighed.

Chu Xuan did not care about the choice of the Chu family.

He did not care much about whether Chu County would be lost or not.

In fact, he did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Chu family.

He only cared about Chu Yun.

As for Chu Yuan, he was not too bad. Although that guy nagged a little, he had been doing it for Chu Xuan's own good.

Suddenly, Chu Xuan's expression became strange.

Soon, a figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

A golden robe, a phoenix crown, and a beautiful face.

Qin Keyun!

"Great Qin's Great Empress, Qin Keyun, what are you doing here?" Chu Xuan looked surprised.

Su Xian'er widened her eyes. The Great Qin's Great Empress had sneaked over here?

Qin Heyun glanced at Su Xian'er and frowned. She looked at Chu Xuan, who was lazily lying on the deck chair, and narrowed her eyes. "I am the Great Qin's Great Empress, and I want to marry you!"

Su Xian'er looked shocked.

Marry Chu Xuan?

What was she thinking?

Chu Xuan was stunned. "Marry me?"

"Yes."

Qin Keyun nodded and said, "I am the Empress. How can there be no one in my harem?"

"You want three palaces and six courtyards?"

Chu Xuan had a strange look on his face. As expected of the reincarnation of the Fox Demon. She was too daring.

"No."

Qin Keyun shook her head and said, "There are too few good-looking men around. I don't know where your third brother went, so you are the only one available at the moment. It's a good deal for you."

Chu Xuan saw the obedient look on her face and the muscles on his face twitched.

He touched his face and sighed, "I won't deny it. I'm good-looking, but I don't want to get married. Why should I marry you?"

"You can't refuse."

Qin Keyun narrowed her eyes and said, "If you agree, I can make an exception and give the Chu family a bigger fiefdom. If you don't agree, I will still take you back now."

"Heh."

Chu Xuan chuckled as a seven-colored divine light bloomed from his body.

A majestic voice resounded.

"Great Qin's Great Empress? Who gave you the courage to act so impudently in front of me?!"

Qin Keyun's expression changed drastically as a look of shock appeared on her face. Her aura erupted as she revealed her strength that was infinitely close to the Emperor realm.

At the same time, she activated her false domain and a White Fox phantom appeared behind her, attempting to suppress Chu Xuan.

"Kneel!"

Chu Xuan spat out softly.

The truth mantra!

Plop!

Qin Keyun knelt down.

The false domain disappeared together with the White Fox phantom.

She had an inexplicable look of shock on her face. He had suppressed her with a single word. What kind of strength was that?

Qin Keyun knelt on the ground, her beautiful face pale. Her delicate and pitiful appearance no longer had a trace of her previous might as an Empress.

Chu Xuan sat on the chair and looked down at her.

Light swirled in his eyes.

Heavenly Secrets Origin Probing Technique!

Back then, his strength was insufficient, so he was unable to fully derive Qin Keyun's origin.

However, he was already at the ninth level of the Emperor realm.

"Qin Keyun, the reincarnation of an Emperor Demon, the soul of a Fox Demon, was once the Great Qin Emperor's White Fox demon pet. Her cultivation was at the ninth level of the Emperor realm. When she died, her soul escaped, and she was reborn into the Qin royal family's lineage through Qin Pingxia…"

At this moment, Chu Xuan understood Qin Keyun's origins clearly.

He did not expect that Qin Keyun had actually been the Great Qin Emperor's demon pet!

In her previous life, her cultivation was at the ninth level of the Emperor realm.

The emperor had been a Supreme realm expert.

An emperor amongst emperors!

From Qin Keyun's previous life, her master, the Great Qin Emperor, who was also the ancestor of the Qin family, was a famous expert in ancient times.

However, Chu Xuan had never heard of such an ancient expert.

He had read countless historical records about the Southern Region and all sorts of miscellaneous records, but there was no record of the Great Qin Emperor.

He continued to use the Heavenly Secrets Origin Probing Technique, after which he was able to find out the origins of Qin Keyun's death.

What surprised Chu Xuan was that Qin Keyun had unexpectedly died at the start of the battle of the Asura Ancient Land. Her soul had escaped, and she had hidden in the Qin family's ancestral land to sleep before being reborn in Qin Pingxia's stomach.

From this, it could be seen that the Great Qin Emperor had probably died before the start of the battle of the Asura Ancient Land as well.

Before that battle, the Southern Region was probably home to an incredibly powerful Great Qin Dynasty.

Perhaps the Great Qin Emperor's strength had even exceeded the Supreme realm.

Qin Keyun trembled. She did not know why, but she felt as if Chu Xuan had seen through her from the inside out.

It was as if every strand of hair had been captured by Chu Xuan's eyes.

Qin Keyun regretted coming here to capture Chu Xuan. Why did she not restrain herself?

However, he was simply too good-looking.

Who knew that he was actually an old monster!

That's right!

Qin Keyun now believed that Chu Xuan was an old monster that had been reincarnated, and she suspected that it was the ancestor of the Chu family that had been resurrected.

"In this life, are you a human or a demon?"

Chu Xuan's dignified voice sounded.

Qin Keyun's body trembled, and she began to believe her own speculations.

He actually knew about her previous life?

"I'm a human!"

Qin Keyun said in a low voice, "I'm not a demon in this life. I'm just a human!"

Chu Xuan retracted his aura and said calmly, "Since you're a human, then get up."

"I don't dare. Qin Keyun pays her respects to Sir Chu Zun!"

Qin Keyun continued to kneel on the ground.

"Chu Zun?"

Chu Xuan laughed lightly and said, "I'm not an old monster, and I'm not the ancestor of the Chu family."

Qin Keyun was stunned. Not an old monster?

Not the ancestor of the Chu family?

How was that possible?

Was he really just a young man?

Why was he so strong?

"Get up, You're the Great Qin's Empress after all."

Qin Keyun stood up and lowered her head, looking very obedient.

It was just like the first time Chu Xuan had seen her.

She no longer had the majesty of the Great Qin's Empress.

"Great Qin's Empress, what do you want to do now?"

Chu Xuan pointed at the teapot, and Su Xian'er immediately prepared some tea.

"Sit."

A chair suddenly appeared in front of the tea table.

Qin Keyun hesitated. This chair was formed from his spiritual power.

Would there be a problem if she sat on it?

Thinking about it, with his strength and methods, why would he need to do such a thing?

She gently sat down on the chair.

Su Xian'er curled her lips. "You're lucky. Let me pour you some tea."

After making the tea, she poured three cups.

She knew that the tea Chu Xuan drank was not simple. It could make one's spirit clear and nourish one's spirit.

If one condensed one's spirit, this tea would nourish one's spirit.

It was a rare treasure, even in the Central Region.

Chu Xuan drank the tea and said, "Drink it. This is good tea. It's good for you."

Qin Keyun's Fox Demon soul had been in a state of deep slumber until now. It was actually already very weak. Many of her memories from her previous life had become blurry due to the long period of slumber.

This tea could cleanse her soul and help it recover.

Qin Keyun took a small sip. She only felt a sweet fragrance lingering around before a comfortable sensation enveloped her soul.

Some vague and hazy memories suddenly became clearer.

Her eyes lit up as she realized that this tea was not simple.

She finished the tea in one gulp and slightly furrowed her eyebrows as she savored it.

After Qin Keyun finished savoring it, Chu Xuan asked, "What happened to the Asura Ancient Land?"

The Southern Region became barren, the leylines collapsed, and the laws of Heaven and Earth were damaged. This was all caused by the war with the demons back then.

Chu Xuan had very limited knowledge about this war.

He could not find any more records about this war from the Black Moon Tower.

Now that Qin Keyun was here, he naturally had to take this opportunity to find out more about this war with the demons.

The Asura Ancient Land was the battlefield in which this war had taken place.

The reason he gave Qin Keyun such a precious cup of tea was to help her recall the memories of her past life, especially the details about the war.

Qin Keyun remained silent for a while before recalling the memories of her past life and saying, "Actually, I'm not too sure either."

Afraid that Chu Xuan would misunderstand her and believe that she was hiding information from him, she hurriedly added, "I'm just a demon pet, so I don't really know that much."

"Tell me what you know."

Chu Xuan leaned back in his chair and resumed his lazy demeanor.

"I vaguely remember that before the war with the demons, Qin Zun was very angry and said, 'Rebellion, human rebellion. Must be killed.' Later on, Qin Zun left with an expert to do something…"

In Qin Keyun's previous life, she had been a little white fox, a demon pet that the Great Qin Emperor had loved very much, and she had often followed him around by his side.

However, that time, Qin Keyun had been left in the Qin family's ancestral land, and he had prepared some backup plans for Qin Keyun, as well as the method to open the altar in the Qin family's ancestral land.

As the demons invaded, the human experts resisted, but the Great Qin Emperor did not appear.

Before the war with the demons, the Great Qin Emperor and the other experts had already fallen.

The life tablets that had been left in the Great Qin Dynasty had already been shattered.

Before the demons invaded, the Great Qin Empire had already been thrown into turmoil, and the new Great Qin Emperor was unable to stabilize the situation. As the demons invaded, the Great Qin Empire was soon destroyed.

The descendants of the Great Qin Emperor were almost all killed, but Qin Keyun protected some of the Qin family's descendants and hid them in the ancestral land. She also died fighting against a demon expert.

Luckily, the Great Qin Emperor prepared a backup plan for her, allowing her to escape and hide in the Qin family's ancestral land to sleep.

"Back then, the demon invasion had happened too suddenly, which caught the humans off guard. It seems that some humans rebelled and lured the demons here."

Qin Keyun continued, "The Great Qin Emperor probably died trying to stop the humans from rebelling and luring the demons here."

"What was the strength of the Qin Kingdom back then?"

Chu Xuan felt that it was not strange for history to have been lost after the war between the demons.

"There was only one country in the Southern Region, which was the Great Qin Dynasty!" Qin Keyun said proudly.

Chu Xuan was quite surprised. The ancient Great Qin Dynasty had unified the Southern Region?

Such a powerful empire had completely disappeared from the historical records. It was likely that it had been erased by someone.

The person who had erased this part of the Great Qin Dynasty's history was definitely one of the top factions in the Southern Region. The first suspect that Chu Xuan thought of was the Great Qian Dynasty, which had existed for a long time.

"So, you want to restore the Great Qin Dynasty's past glory?"

This was the first time Chu Xuan felt that Qin Keyun's ambition was quite great.

She actually had the intention of unifying the Southern Region.

However, with her strength, how could she accomplish it?

Even if she recovered her past life's strength, she probably would not be able to do it.

Some people probably did not want to see the Great Qin Dynasty rise up once again and unify the Southern Region.

"No, no. I'm weak, so how can I unify the Southern Region?" Qin Keyun said guiltily.

"What was Qin Zun's level of strength?"

Chu Xuan felt that if the other party managed to unify the Southern Region, he probably would not have been able to accomplish such a feat if he had not reached the Heaven realm, right?

"I'm not sure," Qin Keyun shook her head and said.

She was afraid that Chu Xuan would not believe her, so she hurriedly added, "I'm just a pet, so how would I know Master's strength?"

He had asked all the questions that she should have. Qin Keyun was a human being and not a demon, so there was no need to kill her.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "You can go now. Do what you need to do. Just don't disturb me."

"Also, don't tell anyone about me!"

"Yes, yes!"

Qin Keyun stood up in a hurry. She twisted her skirt with both hands and asked in a low voice, "Can I still come here to take a look?"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched as he recalled Qin Keyun's preference for good-looking men.

Was she f*cking coming here to see him?

"Go away."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

Qin Keyun narrowed her eyes. Since Chu Xuan did not reply, she took his silence as a tacit agreement.

"Yes, I'll take my leave now!"

Qin Keyun respectfully bowed before leaving the courtyard.

Chu Xuan drank a cup of tea and narrowed his eyes. Since the Great Qin Emperor had a backup plan, perhaps he was not completely dead and was simply waiting for an opportunity to return.

Chu Xuan did not believe that an expert who could unify the Southern Region and establish a dynasty would die so easily.

Unless of course the enemy he faced was far beyond his imagination.

Qin Keyun had reincarnated into the Qin family, so she was probably one of those backup plans.

Chu Xuan picked up his communication talisman and contacted Bao Hongyan.

"Search for information on the ancient Great Qin Emperor of the Southern Region."

"Yes, my Lord," Bao Hongyan said respectfully.

Out of the three gold-level Tower Lords, Chu Xuan had decided to focus on nurturing Bao Hongyan and helping her become a one-star Tower Lord.

The other two Tower Lords were less talented than Bao Hongyan.

More importantly, those two were rough men, and were nowhere close to being as good-looking as Bao Hongyan.

Three days later…

Bao Hongyan sent him some information about the Great Qin Emperor.

Even with her status as a gold-level Tower Lord, she could not gather much information.

There was no introduction about the Great Qin Emperor's strength.

There were only a few simple lines describing the Great Qin Emperor.

He was the only emperor in all of the Southern Region's history to unify the Southern Region and suppress all of the sects and factions.

Even though it was only a few lines, one could tell how powerful the Great Qin Emperor was from that description.

In the entire history of the Southern Region, there had only been one person who unified the Southern Region, suppressed all of the sects and factions, and established the Great Qin Dynasty. There was no need to doubt his strength.

Chu Xuan suspected that the ancient battle with the demons was probably a conspiracy; a conspiracy to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Keyun had said that the humans had rebelled and lured the demons into invading, which caught the human experts unprepared. This was most likely the case.

As for whether the human experts were truly unprepared, that was still a matter that was up for debate.

At the very least, some people had planned this, which meant that those people were not truly unprepared. Only those who had not betrayed the human race were truly unprepared.

Even though the Great Qin Emperor was called an emperor, his strength far surpassed that of an emperor.

Without the strength of a Heaven realm cultivator, how could he unify the Southern Region?

Regardless of whether the Great Qin Emperor was dead or not, as long as the latter did not disturb him, Chu Xuan did not care about his plans.

Even if the man wanted to unify the Southern Region again, he did not care.

With the opening of the Asura Ancient Land, the plans of various factions would gradually surface.

From the looks of it, the waters in the Southern Region indeed ran a little deep.

Chu Xuan did not panic. The Asura Ancient Land had not opened yet and, by the time it did, his strength would be at least at the Heaven realm.

Originally, the Zhao, He, and Chu families were to become subordinates of the Qin Kingdom and hand over their territories to accept the Qin royal family's dominion.

Unexpectedly, Qin Keyun suddenly changed her mind.

The Zhao and He families handed over their territories and accepted their new fiefs.

However, the Great Qin Dynasty did not take back Chu County, and did not call the Chu family their subjects. They even let the unity realm experts that they had brought back from the Great Qian Dynasty return to Chu County.

Qin Keyun's sudden change stunned the Chu family.

The Zhao and He families were stunned.

Why did she treat the Chu family so well?

No, it didn't seem like she was treating the Chu family well. Instead, she was excluding the Chu family from the core of the state of Qin.

To outsiders, Qin Keyun's actions seemed to imply that she was dissatisfied with the Chu family. She had excluded the Chu family from the core of the Qin Kingdom, and she did not even acknowledge that the Chu family belonged to the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, for the sake of their families' generations of friendship, she left Chu County to the Chu family.

Whether this was good or bad for the Chu family, that remained to be seen.

It was probably a good thing that they did not have to hand over the territory that they had governed for thousands of years and did not have to bow down to the Qin royal family.

However, everyone could see Qin Keyun's ambition, so the fact that the Chu family had been unable to integrate into the core of the Qin Kingdom and had been pushed aside by the Qin family meant that they could only hide in Chu County and would not be able to develop further.

In fact, the four great families that were originally very close to each other would gradually keep their distance from the Chu family and gradually become estranged.

Was it due to the matter of Chu Yuan canceling the marriage contract, which caused Qin Keyun to become dissatisfied?

In the ancestral residence, Chu Tianming's roar could be heard again.

The Chu family was now in a very awkward situation.

Although Qin Keyun did not show intention of ostracizing the Chu family, the Chu family was unable to participate in the affairs of the Great Qin Dynasty so, over time, they would naturally be ostracized.

The heart of an emperor was difficult to fathom!

This was even truer for an empress. It was not easy to figure out a woman's thoughts.

"Find and bring that bastard Chu Yuan back to me!" Chu Tianming roared.

He had to bring Chu Yuan back and ask him to apologize to Qin Keyun.

The Chu family was currently in an extremely awkward situation. They had lost their alliance with the other three families. Once they encountered a strong enemy, they had nowhere to seek help from.

In the past, when they encountered a strong enemy, they could still ask the Great Qian Empire for help.

Now, the Great Qin Dynasty had fallen out with the Great Qian Dynasty. The Chu family had once been one of the three great aristocratic families of the Qin Kingdom. They had been on the same side as the Qin royal family.

In their current predicament, they could not seek help from the Qin royal family. The Great Qian Dynasty would not come to their aid either. It could be said that the Chu family was currently isolated by the rest of the Southern Region.

There were only five unity realm warriors who had returned from the Great Qian Dynasty. The strongest one was only at the sixth level of the unity realm.

There were not even any truth realm experts.

The seniors who had broken through to the unity realm and went to the Great Qian Dynasty had all died and had been treated as cannon fodder.

It was already a good result that five of them had returned alive.

Even if they included the family elders who had secretly broken through a while ago, the Chu family was still very weak.

Apart from the unity realm elders who were in charge of the ancestral residence, the unity realm elders who had just broken through had all gone to various other places in Chu County.

Without the help of the unity realm elders, Chu County's situation felt very precarious.

Chu Tianming's expression was very ugly. He had to break through to the unity realm as soon as possible.

The Chu family commissioned the Black Moon Tower to capture Chu Yuan!
