Soaring of Galaxia

Now, upon becoming an Elder, he was called as Guanfeng. However, his older brothers were no longer part of the world. Therefore, when he saw Qin Wushuang, the descendent of Qin Yu where he also shared a few similiarities in expression with Qin Yu, he was incredibly joyful and stepped out to speak.

Soon, Qin Xiang’s gravestone was found. Qin Wushuang stood before Qin Xiang’s gravestone respectfully. After he had finished saluting to it, he took out ancestor Qin Yu’s identity jade plate and put it before the gravestone. Then, he said with a profound tone: "Ancestor Qin Yu, I am incompetent for I am unable of returning your remains to the Sacrificial Valley. Now, I wll put this jade plate here. Together with your brother, you can rest here eternally and keep watch the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan! In one day, I will make enough contributions for the Qin Clan and welcome back your remains to bury here!"

After he had finished, Qin Wushuang put down the jade plate and stood up. He left with determination and returned back to his original place.

Although Qin Wushuang’s words did not show off magnificent aspiration of a vow, but it had displayed a resolution from the bottom of his heart that made grips one’s heart, allow one to be emotionally moved.

Qin Chongyang said with a long sigh: "Wonderful Qin Wushuang, this is the quintessence of the inheritance of the bloodline for the Qin Clan! Wushuang, in the future if you can make great contribution for the Qin Clan, it’s not a far reach goal to return your ancestor Qin Yu’s remain to the sect!"

Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was overwhelmed with emotion as his eyes shone with extreme determination.

"Third Chief, I will for sure, to do it at all costs, regardless of life or death!"

Elder Guanfeng walked before Qin Xiang’s gravestone and said: "Old friend, did you hear that? Finally, your brother Qin Yu has an outstanding junior. In the end, your line will not be forgotten. Hopefully, in one day, Qin Yu will rest eternally with you at the Sacrificial Valley."

When they left the Sacrificia Valley, Elder Guanqi had already arranged a place for Qin Wushuang. The place had located on top of a slope that faced the sun on the south of the Aspiring Throne Mountain. This place was an essential place of the Aspiring Throne Mountain and called as Ascending Dragon Courtyard. The implied meaning of this name was equivalent to the Sea of Bamboo Courtyard of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.

Only, regardless of looking from any aspects, this Ascending Dragon Courtyard was a few levels higher than the Sea of Bamboo Courtyard. Elder Guanqi let him to settle down and said with a light smile: "Wushuang, although you are not given the title of the core disciple for now, with your contribution and reputation, this will not be a problem. You should wait patiently for a few days. When the higher-ups makes the resolution, nothing will be a problem."

In the past when Qin Wushuang at the Stargaze Palace and when he just stepped onto the martial arts path at a young age, he strived for reputation greatly. That was a form of motivation for him to work harder.

Now at his current level, he was far from fervent as he was initially in terms of the fame. He cared more about the upgrade of his own strength.

The environment of this Ascending Dragon Courtyard was extremely quiet. When standing looking down from the slope, the place underneath was a serene valley. Appearing evergreen in all four seasons, the emerald-green color made one’s heart untroubled, spirit pleased.

Each residence of the core disciple prepared by the Ascending Dragon Courtyard were independent from each other and had its own yard. Although it didn’t showcase any form of extravagance, everything were created with utmost care that retained sufficient personal space.

Qin Wushuang felt incredibly satisfied as he said with a smile: "Elder Guanqi, I am not in a rush."

"Ha ha, Wushuang, even if you are not in a rush, the Third Chief is. He truly valued you, you should have sensed it, right? Even at this Aspiring Throne Mountain, among all the core disciples, he had not cared for too many."

When Elder Guanqi said up to here, he laughed and said with an encouraging tone: "Alright, since you are able to turn the sky and earth upside down, certainly it’s unnecessary to remind you of these things. Just do it, everyone now wants to see when you are at the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, when you grow and compete with the fellow Qin disciples, would you display an even more dazzling performance."

Qin Wushuang trembled with fear. He realized that at the Aspiring Throne Mountain, he had truly entered a somewhat higher-level of the Tian Xuan Land. The competition he would encounter would be completely different than the ones in the past.

However Qin Wushuang was fearless. Upon having gone through a lot, he had learned when to move forward, and when to stay indifferent.

He always believed that it’s unnecessary to make invidious comparisons with anyone else. He would only need to march forward at the correct path!

"Young man, work hard!" Elder Guanqi patted Qin Wushuang friendly and instructed, "If you need anything, you can contact me at anytime."

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Guanqi." QIn Wushuang sends Guanqi out modestly.

After Elder Guanqi had left, Qin Wushuang returned to his residence and took a tour. He really enjoyed this feeling.

The biggest reason for this courtyard to be named as "Ascending Dragon Courtyard" was because it sits on top of the Ascending Dragon Slope.

For this Ascending Dragon Slope, there was a legend of how a divine dragon had flew upwards swiftly into the sky from this slope. Therefore, it was called as the Ascending Dragon Slope. The implied message was deep when the Qin Clan had given it this name. The clan hoped that the core disciples of the Qin Clan would rise as the rising dragon and lead the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan upwards swiftly.

Qin Wushuang took a few tours at his own residence and became familiar with the surrounding environment. Then, he started to wander around the slope.

At this Ascending Dragon Slope, there would be a residence every few miles. In the big Ascending Dragon Slope, about two to three hundred Core disciples had lived here.

However, now, not many core disciples at this Ascending Dragon Slope were here. They had either gone out to train or went on their mission. In fact, not many had stayed at the Ascending Dragon Slope like Qin Wushuang.

Since Bao Bao and Lone had entered the Aspiring Throne Mountain, they were much more well-behaved. Before the holy Heavenly Emperor Mountain, they would not dare to act outrageously.

Now, upon following Qin Wushuang of walking a few rounds, Bao Bao could not but help to ask: "Boss, are we going to stay at this Heavenly Emperor Mountain?’

Qin Wushuang said with a smile: "Of course not. Look at this Ascending Dragon Slope, how many core disciples tend to stay here permanently."

"That’s good. It’s rather interesting to live at this place for a few days. If we live here permanently, I will be bored to death." Bao Bao chuckled.

"Boss, it’s apparent that those higher-ups of the Qin Clan are really good to you. I feel that if you stay here to establish yourself, it will be nice. Honestly, it will not be appropriate for you to return to the Human counctires, and that place will no longer fit you..."

Although Lone’s words sounded brutal, they were honest words. With Qin Wushuang’s current stage, it would be meaningless for him to return to the Human countries. Only the Forbidden Spiritual Zones would be an appropriate stage for him.

Just when Qin Wushuang was about to speak, suddenly he saw a figure arrived from the sky. That figure dropped on top of the Ascending Dragon Slope and walked towards Qin Wushuang in large strides.

"It’s Elder Guanfeng." As Qin Wushuang spoke, he went over to him.

This Elder Guanfeng had an honest and guileless appearance. He had rather looked like a well-behaved peasant.

"Ha ha, Wushuang, I came without invitation. If there are any presumptuous places, please excuse me." Although Guanfeng was a few hundred years old, he had almost spent all his time training in the mountain. Most likely, he would be as thoughtful as Qin Wushuang in terms of the worldly wisdom.

Qin Wushuang said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Please come in."

Guanfeng nodded and walked towards the inside without been modest.

After he sat down, Guanfeng shoot a few glances at Qin Wushuang and gave a long sigh: "Wushuang, since the first time when I heard you are a descendent to Qin Yu, I was extremely emotional. Your ancestor, your ancestor’s older brother Qin Xiang, plus me, the three of us were best friends in the past. The talent of those two siblings were all better than me. They had cared about me a lot. Unfortunately, those two siblings had left the world early in the times. On the contrary, me being the least competent is alive until today."

Guanfeng’s tone had clearly, sounded a little sentimental.

Qin Wushuang said: "This is the fate of each person."

Guanfeng said with a bitter smile: "I heard people say that, heaven is jealous of heroic genius. Perhaps, your ancestor is the distinct example of this fact. I never thought that after he got injuried, his power was greatly reduced and had gone to the Human Countries. His older brother Qin Xiang had died in a bitter battle during an ambush of the Sound of Thunder Sect, when he went out to look for him.

Qin Wushuang’s heart shuddered as if something had firmly poked his heartstrings. For some unknown cause, he suddenly remembered of his sister, Qin Xiu.

When he had resurrected to this world and opened his eyes, the first person he saw was his sister Qin Xiu’s caring look and expression. That scene would be unforgettable for Qin Wushuang’s eternal life. That form of affection between one’s flesh and blood had allowed Qin Wushuang to blend into his new identity.

Just due to these words, Qin Wushuang’s good impression to Guanfeng had increased a lot. Regardless, after a few hundred years, it was sufficient to see his friendship when he was deeply concerned to a descendent of his deceased friend.

"Elder Guanfeng, I see that the disciples of the Qin Clan cared each other, they should not make things difficult for me, right?"

Guanfeng gave a long sigh: "The mainstream of the Qin Clan is well. However, each place would always have some narrow-minded people. Don’t forget how initially, how did your ancestor Qin Yu got forced out of the Aspiring Throne Mountain by people’s sarcastic comments. If it weren’t for those people’s slanderous gossip, how could he have left?"

When Guanfeng mentioned about the old days, he still takes troubles to heart as he said angrily: "They never thought, how much contribution your ancestor Qin Yu had made. Even if his powere were reduced, his prior contribution should not get erased completely."

Qin Wushuang also knew that in any sect, especially in major sects, there would always be some unaligned disagreent between the competition of the young people. As long as these were within the positive range, it would not have mattered.

Additionally, per Qin Wushuang’s understanding to ancestor Qin Yu, in terms of speaking of how he was forced to leave, one could say that he had left on his own. It was because Qin Yu had a clear goal for he wanted to investigate that legendary formation in the human countries. That would also be the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation possessed by Qin Wushuang!

Therefore, Qin Wushuang did not wish to nag about those old quarrels from a century ago. Instead, he asked: "Elder Guanfeng, just don’t know which place my ancestor Qin Yu had lived, is that place existed?"

Guanfeng said with an amazed expression: "In the past, wasn’t Qin Yu lived at this Ascending Dragon Courtyard? Up to the point when he left, he was still a core disciple. Are you talking about the place he lived before he was famous?"

Qin Wushuang nodded with a smile.
