31: Huang Lin'er's past originated in the ancient world!

"You're dreaming!"

Even after being suppressed, Huang Liner remained defiant: "Even if you suppress me, Huang Liner, and grind me to death with this yin-yang millstone, I will absolutely never agree to become your mount!"

"Oh?"

Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then chuckled softly: "Are you sure?

You claim to be the Imperial Daughter of the Kirin Clan, yet you wander outside, barely surviving and quietly developing in this Cave World. There must be a reason for that, right?"

"W-what reason could there be? Can't I just want to come out and play?"

"Is that so?"

Gu Qingchen spoke eloquently, his tone laced with a hint of Gu: "Why did I hear you call the Current Ancient Qilin Emperor a 'False Emperor'?

Let me guess... You were once the Imperial Daughter of the Kirin Clan, but a catastrophe led to the death of your Imperial Father, that False Emperor ascended the throne, and you had no choice but to hide in this Cave World to save your life, correct?"

Hearing Gu Qingchen's analysis, Huang Liner's eyes widened.

How could this Human Race member be so smart? This guess was exactly the same as the truth.

Over eleven hundred years ago, the Origin Ancient Realm appeared in the world, and many Powerful Experts went there to explore and seek Opportunity.

Huang Liner's Imperial Father, the previous Ancient Qilin Emperor, also didn't want to miss this chance, so he led some of his Clansmen into the Origin Ancient Realm.

Opportunities were everywhere within the Origin Ancient Realm. The Ancient Qilin Emperor gained a lot, obtaining not only the myriad dao treasure tree but also the great yin-yang fruit!

But he was also severely wounded as a result.

After enduring countless hardships to return to the Ancient Qilin Realm, he was ambushed by the Current Ancient Qilin Emperor, who seized the Opportunity.

On his deathbed, the Ancient Qilin Emperor tore open space and fled far away, escaping to this Cave World with the treasure and his beloved daughter.

He integrated the great yin-yang fruit into Huang Liner's body and set up a Grand Formation to Seal it. This served two purposes: avoiding the Kirin Clan's search and pursuit, and simultaneously using the power of the Grand Formation to help Huang Liner refine the great yin-yang fruit into her Origin.

After completing all this, the Ancient Qilin Emperor could no longer hold on, and thus Dissolved into the Dao and Perished.

And the place where he perished is now known as the Abyss of Fallen Gods.

"Are you willing to just die like this?"

Seeing Huang Liner stunned, Gu Qingchen knew his guess was at least eighty or ninety percent accurate.

So he continued tempting her: "Are you going to let your Father die for nothing?

Are you not going to avenge the unforgivable Murder of Father Vengeance?

Do you not want to reclaim the Position of Ancient Emperor of the Kirin Clan?"

"I want revenge, I want to reclaim it..."

Huang Liner replied weakly.

"Tell me louder!"

Seeing Huang Liner's attitude, Gu Qingchen knew he had a chance.

"I want to!"

Huang Liner recalled her happy childhood times in the Kirin Clan and the reluctant gaze of her Imperial Father on his deathbed. A surge of hatred and fury, long hidden in her heart, erupted.

She said angrily: "I must avenge my Imperial Father! I must reclaim the Position of Ancient Qilin Emperor!"

"That's more like it!"

Gu Qingchen smiled contentedly: "Do you think you have a great chance of achieving all this relying only on your own strength?

Even if the chance isn't small, how long will it take you to accomplish it?"

"Well..."

Huang Liner became somewhat timid again, clearly lacking confidence.

It's been over a thousand years, and she has only absorbed about one percent of the great yin-yang fruit's power. If calculated this way, wouldn't it take a hundred thousand years to absorb it completely?

Although her strength will increase, and her Origin will deepen later on, speeding up the absorption of the great yin-yang fruit, it would still require tens of thousands of years.

This was still far too long for Huang Liner, who was only a little over eleven hundred years old.

"You've seen my Talent. At only twenty years old, I possess my current strength. Sooner or later, I will become the Strongest in this Era."

Gu Qingchen spoke with high spirits: "By then, helping you take revenge and assisting you in ascending to the Position of Ancient Emperor will be as easy as turning over one's hand, like reaching into a bag to retrieve an object.

And you will be an existence second only to me, above billions upon billions of Kirin!"

Hearing this, Huang Liner mumbled softly: "Our Kirin Clan doesn't have billions upon billions of Clansmen..."

"Pfft!"

Hearing Huang Liner's mumble, Gu Qingchen almost lost his composure.

His mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "Is that the point?"

"Alright, alright."

Huang Liner nodded: "What you said makes sense. I agree to become your mount, but you must keep your promise."

"Don't worry, we can add this point to the Spiritual Pet Contract we sign."

Gu Qingchen did not hesitate.

Once the contract was signed and she became his Spiritual Pet Mount, Huang Liner would be one of his own.

Gu Qingchen always kept his word when dealing with his own people.

"Done."

After signing the contract, Gu Qingchen immediately released Huang Liner from beneath the Great Yin-Yang Fish Millstone.

"Now, tell me about the great dao origin power."

After becoming Gu Qingchen's Spiritual Pet Mount, Huang Liner looked at her Master and felt increasingly satisfied.

Strong in power, fierce in Talent, and Comprehension Ability as high as a monster!

Plus, he was so good-looking. Everything was perfect.

Therefore, she was happy to answer Gu Qingchen's question: "The Yin and Yang Great Dao Origin Power in my body is because I ate a great yin-yang fruit."

"great yin-yang fruit?"

Gu Qingchen's eyes shifted, and he thought of the myriad dao treasure tree: "Is it similar to the fruit produced by the myriad dao treasure tree when it matures?"

"A bit similar, but the great yin-yang fruit is far, far more precious than the fruit of the myriad dao treasure tree!"

Huang Liner's tone was exaggerated.

"The great yin-yang fruit is a fruit that can only be produced by the great dao source tree. Furthermore, it only bears fruit once per Era, and only one to nine fruits are produced each time."

"That precious?!"

After hearing Huang Liner's introduction, Gu Qingchen was astonished.

He didn't know what rank of existence the great dao source tree was, but he knew that one Era lasted for a full three million eight hundred and eighty thousand years!

How could something that only bears fruit once every nearly four million years not be precious... Inside the Secret Realm Small World.

Old Man Han was originally worried that the Kirin Clan would come knocking after Gu Qingchen took Huang Liner as his mount.

But after hearing about the great dao source tree, he was also shaken: "It's actually the great dao source tree. No wonder the essence of that trace of Yin and Yang Power displayed by this little Qilin is so profound."

The great dao source tree is a truly Supreme Treasure, the most top-tier Spiritual Root even within the Origin Ancient Realm.

The fruits it produces are of great help even to existences in the Three Emperor Realm.

And Huang Liner, who strengthened her Origin and forged her Dao Foundation with the great yin-yang fruit, has boundless potential.

It can be said that as long as Huang Liner fully absorbs the great yin-yang fruit's Origin power and Cultivates normally, she has a 98% chance of achieving a Breakthrough to the Three Emperor Realm in the future.

"In other words, this kid Gu actually took a future Great Emperor as his mount?"

Now, he had no complaints whatsoever about Gu Qingchen taking Huang Liner, despite the risk of being hunted by the Kirin Clan.

That was a future Great Emperor, a truly Invincible Powerhouse!

An Emperor is enough to sweep across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, countless stars, and suppress both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, and billions of Races!

Truly Revered by All Realms, with Ten Thousand Spirits Bowing Down!

Even he, a Supreme, is like an Ant before a true Great Emperor.

In Old Man Han's view, even if Gu Qingchen is performing so Heaven-Defyingly now, he only has a chance of becoming a Great Emperor in the future.

"Profit! Huge profit!"

Even with Old Man Han's State of Mind, he couldn't help but beam with joy at this moment.

What if they offended the Kirin Clan for the sake of a future Great Emperor?

Xuantian Holy Land is not much weaker than them.

Moreover, Xuantian Holy Land is a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

The Ten Strongest Holy Lands jointly established an Alliance. If an Alien Race launches a full-scale invasion, the other nine Holy Lands must provide mutual aid.

No matter how strong the Kirin Clan is, can they be stronger than the Heavenly Dao Alliance led by the Ten Holy Lands?

While Old Man Han was fantasizing about a bright future, Gu Qingchen was inquiring about how to obtain the great dao source tree's fruit.

However, Huang Liner shook her head: "If you want to obtain the great dao source tree's fruit, you can only go to the Origin Ancient Realm."

"Then how can I go to the Origin Ancient Realm?"
