Qin Wushuang’s confidence gave Qin Yunran and the others enormous confidence. Even for someone as meticulous as Qin Chongyang, he also felt extra optimism privately.
He felt that with the Head Chief being this exceptional at such young age, it would not be exaggerated to say that he was a lengthwise prodigy. Since he was a prodigy, it would not be too much of a stretch for him to do something unexpected. The Qin Clan has faced many difficulties. Now that Qin Wushuang emerged along through fate, it would not be impossible if he were to create a great scene for the clan!
“Head Chief, if we step into the Heavenly Emperor position, the decision to select the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates is a profound opportunity. Although the Floating Snow House is a new-talent, in terms of private relationship or their own power, they are qualified to have a seat. In addition to the many other first-rate powerhouses, in these dozen years, indeed many have met the qualifications to challenge the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. At that time, certainly demand will exceed supply. If we are to distribute the spots, we must also tap into them. If we are to let troublemakers sit on the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, they will stir things up.”
They must be concerned about this matter.
“Second Chief, you have traveled extensively and hold a reputation among numerous sects of the Xuan Yuan Mound. You can take a trip to these powerhouses that are qualified to compete, probe their intentions, and seek information. It’s best if these spots can be used for my Qin Clan. I do not want to deal with troublesome matters after the Qin Clan sits on the throne.”
“Yes.”
Per Qin Wushuang’s order, Qin Yunran started to prepare as he would head out on this quest.
...
At one of the mysterious areas of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border, Saber Beard transformed into a bearded martial artist. With a bursting flash, he fell nearby the cave where Xin Tianwen was in solitary training.
“Daoist Tianwen, three years have passed with the snap of a finger, how do you feel?” Saber Beard asked with a faint smile.
Xin Tianwen slowly opened his eyes. As the divine lights flickered in his eyes, it showed that his divine soul achieved great progress.
“Saber Beard friend, looking at you, glowing with health and vigor, you achieved rapid progress. Congratulations.” Xin Tianwen started to fawn upon him.
Saber Beard said with a gentle smile, “Tianwen friend, let’s not speak these courteous words between us. In these two years, you also improved a lot. I see that it will not be a problem to pass the Third Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. As long as you attain a higher level by entering the Fourth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, besides Xuan Yuan Yang, the paramount elite warrior of the totem clan, who else across the Xuan Yuan Mound is your enemy?”
Strange feelings emerged inside Xin Tianwen’s heart. Initially before Xuan Yuan Wei, he was careful and in fear and trepidation.
Currently, even though he will still be somewhat inferior when meeting Xuan Yuan Wei, he will not be in such disparity to not dare to breath.
“Daoist friend Saber Beard, not to mention others, I owe you this one.” Xin Tianwen was in a great mood. Since flattering did not need any capital, naturally he would not be stingy with it.
It was also because Xin Tianwen had good fortune when he and Saber Beard came to venture at the Heavenly Fire Southern Border. As they encountered countless dangerous situations in the barren land, they actually found the immemorial ancient temple.
This Immemorial Ancient Temple was clearly built by a powerful divine beast clan of that period. Besides a large quantity of the divine beast divine soul seals, there were some techniques too. The divine skill of the beast clans were only shown by some special totem languages.
Xin Tianwen did not understand the totem words of the beast clans, yet Saber Beard understood them. With the help of Saber Beard, Xin Tianwen realized that the divine skills of the immemorial beast clans were very powerful.
Of course, in the end Xin Tianwen was a grandmaster and not an immature young man. He did not pick everything, as beggars can’t be choosers. Instead he chose two to train with.
One of them was the beast controlling technique. This would allow him to control the sealed divine soul of a divine beast. This skill was extraordinary. In fact, the seal of the divine soul of a divine beast was sealing their divine core. He could summon the divine beast soul to attack. It harbored tremendous power and was extraordinary.
In this Immemorial Ancient Temple, there were six scrolls of such beast soul seals. Saber Beard was rather generous. He shared them with Xin Tianwen equally. Each had three.
To Xin Tianwen, it would definitely be adding wings onto the tiger. He was worried about the lack of personnel in the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Once he summoned the divine beast soul from this seal, they could congeal into the actual beasts and transform into human shapes. When controlling them, they would be a group of strong figures and accomplices.
Naturally, this beast controlling technique was relating to the divine soul. As Xin Tianwen possessed an extraordinary divine soul stage, he had high hopes for this divine soul controlling method.
The second method was a Hundred Beast Transformation Skill. This skill would allow Xin Tianwen to merge with the bloodline of the divine beast. When successfully training this divine skill, he could transform into the shape of the beasts and perform their skills, giving him tremendous power.
Most importantly, this skill was unpredictable. With an innumerable succession of skills, it would catch people off guard. The effect would be incredibly reliable when a transformed divine beast went to attack.
Xin Tianwen practiced these two divine skills primarily. Xin Tianwen knew profoundly the principle of not biting off more than he could chew. Therefore, he targeted this aspect when choosing his divine skill.
For the first one, he needed to solve the problem of the lack of personnel at the Xin Clan.
As for the focus, he would target the elite warriors of the Qin Clan and Yun Clan. It would give him tremendous power when training such divine skill with incredible variations.
In the situation where elite warriors fought in battle, it could be used as a surprise tactic.
In the years that Xin Tianwen stayed in solitary training, his stage also rose with the tide. These two skills showed signs to be successful. Therefore, he invited Saber Beard to discuss returning to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
Saber Beard did not object as he said with an irresolute voice, “Currently, it’s only a few months until that Heavenly Emperor election. It’s time for us to prepare, to prevent that Qin Clan from being overly arrogant.”
“Humph, Qin Clan...” When Xin Tianwen said these two words, he gnashed his teeth and was incredibly annoyed. Exactly as the Qin Wushuang said, his resentment to the Qin Clan had accumulated each day and night.
“Daoist Tianwen, let me say something extra. In order for your Xin Clan to continue keeping the seat of Heavenly Emperor, the challenge will not just come from the Qin Clan. If you just stop to look at the Qin Clan and ignore that Yun Clan, it will definitely be a grave mistake, you must not do it.”
“The Yun Clan agrees publicly, but opposes us in secret.” Clearly, Xin Tianwen did not share any good feelings for the Yun Clan either. Especially before sending a punitive expedition to the Qin Clan, the Yun Clan was determined not to collaborate. It caused some hard feelings to the Heavenly Emperor Gate Xin Clan as they were not able to step down. If the Yun Clan had not used all sorts of excuses, how could the Qin Clan still exist now?
“Yes, this is not to be delayed. Let’s hurry and return to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain to make some preparations. We shall also seek the movements of the Qin Clan and Yun Clan. Those sects at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain also need your reassurance.”
“You are right.” Inwardly, Xin Tianwen was feeling somewhat strange. In the past, this Saber Beard dealt him with the tone to pay him back as a debt. He was not very interested in seizing the Heavenly Emperor seat. Now being this enthusiastic, could it be he was worried of that Qin Wushuang of the Qin Clan seeking vengeance?
Xin Tianwen did not think more of it. With a great help like Saber Beard, regardless of how he looked at it, he would be advantageous. With the aid of Saber Beard, he would have more assurance when fighting in the Heavenly Emperor conflict.
Currently, Xin Tianwen had clearly restored his confidence to the level it was before the fight. He was enormously proud of his success and was full of confidence.
When he escaped from a narrow death while exploring the Immemorial Ancient Temple of the Heavenly Fire Southern Border with Saber Beard, Xin Tianwen felt that he was not responsible for the failing expedition of the Qin Clan. It was because his subordinates were not capable.
There was a saying that one should not fear the wolf-like enemy, but pig-like teammates.
There were many subordinates, and they also created big momentum. In the end, they could not act independently. At crucial moments, they were incapable of sharing his pressure.
Therefore, this time Xin Tianwen was full of confidence. It was because as his own power had increased a lot, with the help from Saber Beard and those sealed spiritual beasts, it would be as easy as turning the palm to control the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
“Daoist Tianwen, this time we are lucky to have acquired the ruin of the Immemorial Ancient Temple. I see you have a seventy percent chance to guard the Heavenly Emperor seat. I do need to ask you one thing. If you sit as the Heavenly Emperor, how do you plan to distribute the spots of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates?”
“Humph, if the Xin Clan keeps sitting on the Heavenly Emperor seat, I will surely kick out that Qin Clan! I can also not keep those three traitors. As for the Yun Clan, I shall leave that for future discussion.”
Saber Beard laughed and carried a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xin Tianwen could see and knew that this one did not take it as an exception. He said with a smile, “If you have some other insight, please don’t hesitate to give some advice.”
“It cannot count as insight, however, the Qin Clan contains profound history. Even if the Yun Clan gets the Heavenly Emperor seat, you must also have the strength to kick the Qin Clan out. After all, the spot for the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate depends on martial arts, not by speaking. Perhaps, the Qin Clan will not defeat you, but it’s enough for them to defeat other sects. In fact, when you sent a punitive expedition against the Qin Clan, if you hadn’t had the advantage in numbers, I am afraid your Xin Clan would be covered in dirt if you were to challenge them alone.”
These were big truths. Xin Tianwen also knew that the Yun Clan held a profound foundation and domineering strength. Even if they were to challenge the Xin Clan individually, the chance of victory and losing would also reach forty to sixty percent.
When poked at the painful point, Xin Tianwen could not flare up before Saber Beard. Instead, he said, “If I don’t kick the Qin Clan out of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, the ruling of the Xin Clan will never be stabilized. The Xin and Qin Clan cannot share the same sky. In the past we could barely live, but now we are sworn enemies.”
“Yes, therefore, to kick out the Qin Clan, you must go for a strategy. In the fight to seize the Heavenly Emperor seat, you must strike heavily to cause grave injuries on the Qin Clan. Only this way will cause them to get kicked out when they are competing in the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate spots. When they are kicked out of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, you can make the move at them at any moment. It will be much easier to do it than when they are at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.”
At the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, being part of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, without a righteous reason, most likely there would be heavy pressure if he wanted to move the army.
It would be difficult to explain this before the totem clan. They will also lose their support before the tens and thousands of powerhouses in the Xuan Yuan Mound.
After all, no one wants to have a narrow-minded, brutal, and resentful Heavenly Emperor Gate!
It triggered a clamor when Xin Tianwen returned to Heavenly Emperor Mountain. The Xin Clan themselves were the happiest, alongside were the tottering Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect.
With Xin Tianwen back, they had their backbone!
