850: Chapter 851 Qin Family

Emperor Realm Cultivators from different Lower Realms, different races, and different Cultivation Techniques have been passing through the Ascension channel one after another, descending onto this newly formed Immortal Realm land.

Some are white-haired and aged, with a vast and ancient Aura, clearly old-school Emperors who have lived for a long time.

Some are in their prime, sharp and imposing, with an Aura like a drawn sword.

Some wear strange clothing, clearly from distant alien civilizations, with Cultivation Techniques completely different from the Xuanhuang World.

The arrival of each one causes a small commotion in the Xuanhuang World.

The various Holy Lands, Imperial Dynasties, and Families of the Xuanhuang World have quickly turned their attention to these ascenders.

The reason is simple: those who could Cultivate to the Emperor Realm in the Mortal Realm are all people of exceptional talent and profound Luck; once they adapt to the cultivation environment of the Immortal Realm, their future is limitless.

They have deep Foundations, and in these years, many Old Ancestors and Prodigies have promoted to the Emperor Realm, True Immortal Realm, or even the Earth Immortal Realm.

They are confident that even if these ascended Emperors are a bit arrogant, they can easily be controlled.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion has dispatched Elders skilled in deduction to secretly observe the fate and Luck of each ascender.

It is said that within three days, they locked onto an ascender with a special destiny, secretly contacted him, and offered the position of Guest Elder.

As for what was discussed, outsiders have no way of knowing.

The Supreme Mystery Holy Land acts most directly; the Holy Land Master personally stepped forward, using Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, and Immortal Stones to pave the way, recruiting two ascenders.

Other Holy Lands and ancient Families have also made their moves, either sending people to contact them or extending olive branches, engaging in competition both openly and secretly.

However, many ascenders have rejected all recruitment.

Either they were overlords in the Lower Realm and are used to being alone, unwilling to live under others, or they are proud and arrogant, believing these so-called major powers are nothing special and not worth their allegiance.

Consequently, some have found a place with beautiful mountains and waters, opened up an Immortal Cave, established their own mountain gate, and recruited disciples.

Some hide in cities and mountains, cultivating wholeheartedly and ignoring worldly affairs.

Still others travel everywhere, challenging local Prodigies or other ascended Emperor powerhouses, cultivating through battle.

These people were all invincible among their peers in the Lower Realm, suppressing an era; now there are more Emperor powerhouses to spar with freely.

Two ascenders fought for three days and three nights in the wilderness, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to flow backward.

Eventually, it alarmed the powerhouses of a nearby Holy Land to step in and mediate before they stopped.

There have also been conflicts between ascenders and local Cultivators.

One ascender, relying on his profound cultivation, got into an argument with a disciple of a local ancient Family in a city and severely injured the other party on the spot.

As a result, the Old Ancestor of that ancient Family personally took action, suppressing the ascender in three moves and throwing him into the Family dungeon.

In the Eastern Region, Central Province, a place rich in Immortal Qi.

Qin Wuji sat cross-legged, Immortal light flowing around his body, wisps of Immortal Qi pouring into his body, blending and transforming with his original Spirit Qi.

Since he ascended half a month ago and felt the Immortal Qi of the Xuanhuang World, he found a place rich in Immortal Qi, wanting to convert his Spirit Qi into Immortal Qi as quickly as possible.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Too slow."

He has the cultivation of the Peak Emperor Realm but lacks the corresponding Immortal Realm Cultivation Technique, making the efficiency of converting Immortal power too low.

"Without a Cultivation Technique, relying solely on self-exploration, I fear it will take several years."

Qin Wuji muttered to himself, looked towards the towering city faintly visible in the distance, and stood up.

It seems he must enter the city first.

He moved, turning into a stream of light, and sped towards the direction of that city.

...

In the heart of Central Province, the Qin Family residence.

Thousand-foot spiritual Peaks rose from the ground, with halls and pavilions scattered among the Peaks, spiritual springs and waterfalls flowing endlessly, and misty Immortal Qi shrouding the entire mountain range.

Above the hundred-foot black jade mountain gate, the characters "Qin Mansion" were written with vigorous strokes, faintly carrying Dao Rhyme.

The entire residence was wrapped in layers of protective clan formations, creating a world of its own within a hundred miles.

If Wang Xiaopang were here, he would certainly recognize this as the same Qin Family from which he left barefoot decades ago.

In terms of scale, the Qin Family is far from the top Holy Lands of the Xuanhuang World, but in the Central Province, it is an old-school Family clan with a solid Foundation and not-weak reputation.

The atmosphere in the council hall was solemn.

Qin Yuan sat in the main seat, his brocade robes conveying a calm demeanor, his face seemingly peaceful, but hidden in the depths of his eyes was the ambition of an overlord accumulated over many years.

On both sides, several white-haired clan Elders were lined up, their expressions stern.

Standing below in the hall was a handsome young man, the eldest legitimate son of Qin Yuan, the Young Master of the Qin Family.

His cultivation had reached the Great Saint Realm, his talent was outstanding, and he had always been cultivated as the next successor of the Qin Family, acting steadily and bearing some of his father's style.

The group had just been discussing the recent influx of ascenders and the turbulence in the Central Province situation when a servant hurried in to report from outside the door.

"Family Head, that newly arrived ascender, Emperor Qin, has arrived outside the mansion."

A flash of light appeared in Qin Yuan's eyes; he stood up immediately and led his eldest son and the clansmen to greet them outside the hall.

Not long ago, he had gone out on business and happened to witness this person entering the city, being challenged by an ascended Emperor in public, and defeating a powerhouse of the same rank in a few moves, his combat power was incredibly strong.

Now that the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm has just been established, various forces are crazily recruiting Prodigies and powerhouses; although the Qin Family is in the Central Province, it lacks top-tier combat power.

To go further and get rid of the current mediocre situation, they urgently need such an Emperor as a backer.

So he invited him into the mansion for a chat with generous gifts.

After inviting Qin Wuji to sit in the council hall, Qin Yuan smiled affably, but his words were full of schemes:

"Emperor Qin descending to our Central Province is a blessing for this place. I have been observing the world situation recently; the Immortal Realm is wide open, and the strong are gathered; conflicts will inevitably intensify in the future.

My Qin Family has stood in the Central Province for tens of thousands of years, our Foundation is decent; not only do we have Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques, but we have also accumulated a massive amount of Spirit Stones, Immortal Stones, medicinal materials, and resources."

He changed the subject, his gaze sincere: "The Emperor has just arrived here, you are unfamiliar with the place, and it is inevitable that you will have many constraints if you struggle alone.

If you are willing to lower yourself and join our Qin Family, I will treat you with the courtesy of a Chief Guest Elder, and the entire clan's resources will be prioritized toward you; Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques and cultivation treasures will all be open to you.

When my Qin Family takes a step further in the future, I am willing to share the rule of the Qin Family's territory with you, Emperor."

These words promised great benefits and threw out the bait of sharing territory, his ambition clearly revealed.

The Young Lord of the Qin Family stood by his father's side and bowed in agreement at the right time:

"Senior Qin, your strength is peerless among your peers; with you sitting in the Qin Mansion, our Qin Family will definitely be able to take a step further in this new era. We are united, and we will definitely not let Senior suffer any grievances."

Several clan Elders also nodded in agreement, their eyes full of expectation.

Qin Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze scanning the audience lightly, his Divine Thought quietly spreading out.

Qin Yuan's cultivation is at the Early Stage of the Quasi-Emperor, his Foundation is solid; the Qin Family Young Lord is in the Great Saint Realm, which counts as a good hand among his peers.

The rest of the Elders are mostly at the Great Saint or Quasi-Emperor level.

Oh, in the Family's Forbidden Ground, there is also an old man who has just broken through to the Emperor Realm not long ago...

Qin Wuji evaluated the strength of the Qin Family in his heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

This lineup would be considered an overlord in the Lower Realm, but in the current Xuanhuang World, it really doesn't count for much.

However...

He had a second thought; he had just arrived and was completely ignorant of this world.

If someone could handle trivial matters for him, provide Immortal Realm Cultivation Techniques and resources, it would save a lot of trouble.

As for the future, a faint sharp light flashed in the depths of Qin Wuji's eyes, and then it quickly converged without a trace.

A perfect, humble smile appeared on his face, and he bowed to Qin Yuan:

"Family Head Qin, thank you for your kind invitation; Qin is deeply grateful. Having just arrived in the Immortal land, I was worrying about having nowhere to stay; since you do not despise me, I am willing to join the Qin Family and temporarily hold the position of Guest Elder."

Qin Yuan was overjoyed to hear this, his days of planning finally coming to fruition, and he said loudly: "Good! With the help of Emperor Qin, our Qin Family's takeoff is in sight!"

The eldest son of the Qin Family and the group of Elders also showed joy, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became warm.

Everyone took turns exchanging pleasantries and discussing the subsequent allocation of resources and arrangement of residences.

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was warm, and both the host and the guest were happy.

No one noticed that when Qin Wuji lowered his head to drink tea, there was a fleeting, meaningful curve at the corners of his mouth.

The Qin Family? It's just a stepping stone.

When he uses the Qin Family's resources to break through to the True Immortal and Earth Immortal Realms, at that time, won't this Qin Family and even the entire Central Province be under his control?
