851: Chapter 852 Turmoil in the Immortal Realm
As the atmosphere in the hall was lively, the Qin Family Young Lord, Qin Yuechuan, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Consultant Qin Wuji:
"Senior possesses peak combat power; no one in the same realm can surpass you. This Junior admires you from the bottom of my heart.
This Junior has a presumptuous request: I wonder if I might take you as my Revered Master and Cultivate under your guidance?"
His words were sincere, and his expression was respectful, appearing exactly like a Junior who admired strength and sought the Dao.
However, deep down, he had other calculations. If he could take a Great Emperor as his Revered Master, not only could he completely bind Consultant Qin Wuji to the Qin Family,
but it would also allow him to hold an absolute advantage in the undercurrents of competing for the Family Head position against his peers.
Those uncles and brothers of his were all eyeing the position of Young Lord, watching like tigers eyeing their prey.
Consultant Qin Wuji raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze lingering on Qin Yuechuan's face for a moment, a faint smile on his lips: "Oh? Why do you want to take me as your Revered Master?"
Qin Yuechuan's expression remained unchanged, his tone sincere: "Senior suppressed a Great Emperor of the same realm with just a few moves earlier; the strength of your combat power is something this Junior has never heard of.
Although this Junior is unworthy as the Qin Family Young Lord, I am keenly aware that my own cultivation is still shallow, and I yearn to follow a powerhouse to refine my martial path.
If I could receive your guidance, Senior, it would be this Junior's immense Opportunity."
Consultant Qin Wuji did not answer immediately, tapping his fingertips lightly against the armrest, appearing to be deep in thought.
Seeing this, Family Head Qin Yuan spoke at the opportune moment, his tone carrying a touch of emotion:
"Great Emperor Qin, although my son's Aptitude is not top-tier, he excels in diligence and progress. If the Great Emperor is willing to take him as a Disciple, it would be his great fortune."
Consultant Qin Wuji's gaze flickered slightly. Taking this Young Lord as a Disciple would add another layer of convenience for controlling the Qin Family in the future.
On the surface, however, he remained calm, turning to look at Qin Yuechuan and nodding slowly: "Since the Young Lord has such sincerity, I, Qin, will accept you as my Disciple."
Qin Yuechuan was overjoyed and immediately knelt to perform the Disciple initiation ceremony: "Disciple Qin Yuechuan pays respects to Revered Master!"
The apprenticeship concluded, and Consultant Qin Wuji did not stand on ceremony, speaking directly: "I have just arrived in the Immortal Realm and still need to enter seclusion to stabilize my cultivation. After I emerge, I will guide your cultivation!"
As he spoke, Consultant Qin Wuji looked at Family Head Qin Yuan again: "Trouble the Family Head Qin to prepare a high-quality cultivation chamber for me, as well as Immortal Realm Cultivation Techniques and various cultivation resources."
Family Head Qin Yuan agreed immediately and personally arranged for people to prepare them.
Before long, everything was properly arranged.
Consultant Qin Wuji took the storage ring, scanned it with his Divine Thought, and seeing the Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and Immortal Stones were all present, he nodded with satisfaction.
"In that case, I will go into seclusion first. If there are no important matters, do not disturb me."
Family Head Qin Yuan and his son Qin Yuechuan personally escorted him outside the hall door, watching that figure walk further and further away.
As soon as the hall door closed, a white-haired clan elder could not help but speak, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation:
"Family Head, this old one dares to say a word. Now that our Qin Family's Old Ancestor has achieved a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm and we have Great Emperor Qin presiding here, our strength has greatly increased.
The Second Young Master, Qin Yuechen, has been wandering outside for many years; shouldn't we send people to look for him? After all, he is also of the Qin Family's Bloodline..."
Before he could finish, Family Head Qin Yuan's face darkened, and he interrupted coldly: "Look for what? That rebellious son, back then, refused to be disciplined and severed all ties with the Family; let him fend for himself! Do not mention this matter again."
His tone was resolute, with no room for maneuver.
The clan elder opened his mouth, but in the end, did not continue, only sighing secretly.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, Consultant Qin Wuji, who had not walked far, did not stop his steps, as if he had heard nothing, and continued walking forward.
But the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Qin Yuechen, a cast-off son of the Qin Family, interesting.
In the following days, the Xuanhuang World successively welcomed more newcomers through Ascension.
The successive arrivals of those ascending were like a giant rock thrown into a lake, stirring up layers of ripples in the Xuanhuang World.
The local Cultivators witnessed those Great Emperor Realm powerhouses from the heavens and myriad worlds descending, and in their hearts, they felt a sense of shared pride.
They also developed an unprecedented sense of urgency; the Immortal Realm had opened, and the myriad worlds were coming to pay homage. If they did not work hard enough, they would sooner or later be submerged by this wave.
Therefore, the major Holy Lands and families opened their Secret Realms, distributed resources, and encouraged their Disciples to Cultivate harder.
For a time, the Xuanhuang World set off a frenzy of Breakthroughs.
Many Cultivators who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for years broke through one after another under the impetus of this atmosphere; the visions of Breakthroughs between heaven and earth rose one after another, which was quite spectacular.
And at the same time, outside the Xuanhuang World.
The remnant Immortal Domain!
Since the Ancient Immortal Domain shattered, the remaining land fragments have been floating in the Chaos, scattered and unsystematic.
At this time, as the major Immortal Emperor-level forces returned from the front lines of the Chaos, this already crowded land became even more turbulent and uneasy.
The returning forces needed territory to settle their Disciples and rebuild their sects, but the land of the Immortal Realm was limited.
If you occupy one more inch, I will have one less inch.
At first, it was just verbal negotiation, but gradually, it evolved into small-scale conflicts.
Where there are people, there are struggles; this saying is never wrong no matter where it is placed.
The Taichu Heavenly Emperor tried his best to mediate, frequently coming forward to reconcile conflicts between all parties.
However, although he was highly respected, he could not completely suppress everyone's ambition.
Some small and medium-sized forces were annexed in the conflicts, while others were forced to take sides; the landscape of the Immortal Realm was being reshuffled in an irreversible way.
The Qingyun Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect could not completely stay out of it either.
At first, several newly returned Immortal Emperor-level forces, relying on their strong strength, wanted to test the depth of these two sects.
They sent personnel to create friction at the edges of the Qingyun Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect's territory, attempting to seize some resource-rich areas.
However, when they saw Jiemie personally come forward, they were shocked to realize it was the force of that existence; thus, all testing and covetousness disappeared overnight.
No one dared to touch the Qingyun Sect and the Myriad Immortals Sect again.
Not only that, but the Myriad Immortals Sect also publicly released a statement: "From this day forward, no force or person may extract the world origin of the Lower Realm. Violators will be considered enemies of the Myriad Immortals Sect."
Once this statement was made, the various forces in the Immortal Realm reacted differently.
Some were unimpressed, some were secretly vigilant, and others silently retracted the tentacles they had already extended toward the Lower Realm.
But regardless, no one dared to openly oppose it.
Because everyone knew that the person standing behind these words was someone they could not afford to provoke.
And at the other end of the Immortal Realm, at the former site of the Taiyin Immortal Palace, Yue Liuli returned with the remnants of the Taiyin Immortal Palace.
At the same time, the banner of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace was once again flying over the territory of the Yao Race.
The Qilin King made a strong return, once again governing all departments of the Yao Race with an unrivaled posture.
Those Yao Race forces that had been scattered at the front lines of the Chaos reassembled under his call.
Existing Yao Race forces, such as the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix, and other top tribes, could only submit to the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace due to the Immortal Emperor-level combat power.
There were also a few tribes that refused to submit and were suppressed on the spot by the Qilin King; those who were watching, upon seeing the Qilin King's strength, all submitted one after another.
In just a few days, the Yao Race ended the chaotic state of having no leader and re-consolidated into an iron-clad whole.
On the side of the Demon Race, after experiencing a short and intense civil war, things also gradually calmed down.
Several Devil Emperors reached a new agreement, re-divided their territories, and order in the Demon Realm began to recover.
The turmoil in the Immortal Realm was still continuing, but the most chaotic period had already passed.
