Qin Xuantian!?

These three words, in today's Martial Dao world—no, across the entire world—could be said to be as resounding as thunder!

The young Grandmaster! Transcendence Realm at the age of eighteen! His world-shaking battle with Hong Tianshu displayed the power to overturn rivers and seas! Invincible under the heavens, overwhelmingly dominating this era! An unparalleled genius! A powerhouse for the ages!

Qin Xuantian! To think that he actually appeared in Dongyue Palace!? My heavens!

The two young men who followed Sun Mingyuan also hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to offend Qin Heng in the slightest.

The old Taoist nun was instantly stupefied. Looking at Qin Heng with disbelief, she was so frightened that she began to shake and collapsed to the ground.

The rest of the Taoist nuns were rooted to the spot like statues! All of them couldn't help but shudder, feeling as if they had plunged into an ice cave, their limbs ice cold. What had their Palace Master just done!? To actually send these people! To kill Qin Xuantian! This is Qin Xuantian! The very man who killed the nearly Innate Hong Tianshu with a single palm strike, who almost turned the Huangpu River upside down—Qin Xuantian!! This is courting death! Utterly courting death!!

Under the terror in their hearts, this old Taoist nun and all the Taoist nuns of Dongyue Palace knelt down in a state of immense panic, respectfully bowing before Qin Heng, their former arrogance gone.

Qin Heng paid no attention to these people. After he and Qin Yun shattered the opposing crystal in their game, he finally put his phone down and turned to Sun Mingyuan, speaking indifferently, "I remember you; you were one of the Grandmasters who watched the battle that night on the Huangpu Riverbank."

"For Immortal Qin to remember me is truly a great fortune in my three lives!" Sun Mingyuan knelt on the ground, extremely reverent, without any of the airs or dignity of a Grandmaster of Transcendence. He dared not show any! Daring to posture in front of Qin Xuantian was simply a wish for death!

"What brings you to Dongyue Palace?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression a half-smile as he said, "Don't tell me you and this old Taoist nun of Dongyue Palace are acquainted?"

"No, no, absolutely not, absolutely not," Sun Mingyuan trembled in fear and quickly explained, "I met Zheng Yuanjun once thirty years ago, but we have no relationship. I came to Dongyue Palace this time because of a piece of information I saw in ancient scriptures and wanted to verify it."

"Oh?" Qin Heng raised his eyebrows, speaking calmly, "Let's hear it then?"

He was quite interested in the content of some of the ancient scriptures on this Earth. Already on Mount Tai, he had discovered that this world's Earth seemed different from the Earth in his previous life. It was even more special, possibly even providing a boon to the comprehension of the highest realms! As for how special it truly was, he was still unable to discern with his current level of cultivation. After all, compared to the entirety of Earth, the Qi Refinement Realm was still too weak. If one could obtain some clues from ancient texts, it might help in the quest to explore the highest realms.

"The ancient texts record that atop Mount She, there may be a hidden true Dongyue Villa," Sun Mingyuan said. "Immortal Qin, do not misunderstand, I am not referring to this Dongyue Palace. Rather, the myth in the ancient texts tells of an incredibly ancient era when men and gods dwelled together on Earth. The Great Emperor Dongyue, upon passing by Mount She, casually constructed a villa here. After the Great Emperor Dongyue departed, the villa on Mount She also vanished into the void, reappearing at intervals. It is said that inside there are countless treasures of heaven and earth, and even magic items and divine weapons left by the Great Emperor!" The more Sun Mingyuan spoke, the more excited he became, his face lighting up and his gestures growing animated.

"That's impossible!" the elderly Taoist nun objected, saying, "Our lineage of Dongyue Palace has been passed down on Mount She for five hundred years, and we have never seen any Dongyue Villa!"

"That is because since the Tang Dynasty, it has been the End of Dharma Age, and spiritual energy has become desolate!" Sun Mingyuan retorted subconsciously, then his face changed drastically as if he realized he had said too much.

"Continue," Qin Heng said indifferently. "After the Tang Dynasty, it has been the End of Dharma Age, and spiritual energy has become desolate. What then?"

"Then..." Sun Mingyuan wished he could slap himself, but it was too late for regrets. He had no choice but to say, "Immortal Qin, I am actually not sure if this news is correct. I heard it from a Grandmaster of Transcendence from an esoteric sect. It is said that in the not too distant future, the End of Dharma Age will come to an end. The spiritual energy that has been desolate for a thousand years will gradually revive. The various wonders that had disappeared from the Earth will return, and cultivation will once again dominate this world!"

"Esoteric sects, that would be like Shadow Gate and Golden Buddha Temple, those kinds of sects, right?" Qin Heng said indifferently. "They don't tread in the mortal world, hiding in deep mountains and dense forests, completely unknown to ordinary people?"

"Exactly," Sun Mingyuan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Sects like our Xing Yi Sect, as well as Baji Sect and Tai Chi Sect, are in fact all mundane sects. Their strength is far from comparable to those esoteric sects. They have a millennium of heritage; their foundations are too profound."

"That's also good," Qin Heng nodded slightly, a hint of a smile on his face.

Sun Mingyuan did not understand but dared not ask more. Seeing that Qin Heng did not continue speaking, he could only remain kneeling on the ground, motionless.

Then, Qin Heng suddenly walked over to the young Taoist girl who had earlier reported Sun Mingyuan's arrival. Smiling, he asked, "What's your name?"

The young Taoist girl was terrified, her voice trembling as she replied, "I... my name is Qinghe."

"Qinghe, hmm, a good name," Qin Heng nodded. He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the group of female Taoists, and said in a deep voice, "From now on, Qinghe is the Palace Master of Dongyue Palace. Does anyone have any objections?"

Immediately, dead silence fell!

Everyone from Dongyue Palace looked incredulously towards Qinghe. Before this, she was just a common novice tasked with odd jobs! Not even Open Force! And now she was to become the Palace Master? By what right!?

"Absolutely not!" The elderly Taoist nun stood up, addressing Qin Heng, "This is absolutely not acceptable! It is an internal affair of our Dongyue Palace. Even if you are Qin Xuantian, you cannot..."

BANG!

Qin Heng flicked his finger, sending a gust of wind from his fingertips that directly penetrated the old Taoist nun's head. Blood splattered.

Without finishing her sentence, the old Taoist nun's eyes widened as she collapsed to the ground, a hole through her forehead, dead on the spot.

"Does anyone else object?" Qin Heng asked indifferently, without so much as a glance at the elderly nun's body.

Just now, this old nun had still wanted to kill Qin Heng. Qin Heng originally couldn't be bothered with her, but she insisted on stepping forward, simply courting death.

All the Taoist nuns lowered their heads. Too scared to speak. Speaking would mean death!

"Good, then it's settled." Qin Heng stood with his hands behind his back and harrumphed coldly, "From now on, Qinghe is the Palace Master of Dongyue Palace, and she will obey the commands of me and my sister, Qin Yun! Anyone who opposes shall be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

All the Taoist nuns knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully before Qin Heng and Qinghe. In unison, they said, "We greet the Palace Master! We greet Immortal Qin!!"

Qinghe, the young Taoist girl, was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her face flushed with excitement, and she clung tightly to Qin Heng's arm, murmuring, "Thank you, thank you, Immortal Qin, thank you, Immortal Qin!"

The affairs of Dongyue Palace were thus settled.

Qin Heng patted Sun Mingyuan on the shoulder and said indifferently, "Come, follow me. Let's talk more about the ancient texts."
