Qin Chongyang took the majority of the force and welcomed the heroes from the Illusion Heavenly Lake trip beneath the foot of the mountain.
When the two great chiefs saw each other, they smiled at each other and were both happy from the bottom of their hearts. This time, the harvest was indeed big. It had definitely surpassed their greatest expectations before their departure.
Before leaving the Aspiring Throne Mountain and heading to the Illusion Heavenly Lake, the starting point of the Qin Clan was to see the show and broaden their horizons. They did not hold the intent to be competitive.
With the clan’s current situation and talent pool, indeed they were not qualified to pose much competition.
However, all these incredible results had come from Qin Wushuang, the clan’s rising star. For all this time, Qin Wushuang seemed to specialize in surprising everyone and surpassing their expectations.
For this Illusion Heavenly Lake trip, he had surpassed the clan’s dreams of what would happen.
“Second, let me tell you good news, vivid purple red clouds are overflowing from the Head Chief’s solitary training place. I think the Head Chief will soon be out!” Qin Chongyang truly felt happy due to the happy occasion.
Qin Yunran’s brows moved. “The Head Chief is coming out? Ha ha, excellent, great news!”
Behind Qin Chongyang, a few Honored Warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, including Honored Warrior Zhi Huai exhibited an abnormally open expression. Clearly, to them, the news of the Supreme Dao Fruit was too sensitive.
They were more concerned about the distribution of the Supreme Dao Fruit than anything else.
Qin Chongyang clearly sensed the intentions of these people as he said with a smile, “Second, Taichong, Wushuang, let’s pay a visit to the Head Chief’s solitary training place and see if we can receive some instruction. The rest of you, return to the Upright Morality Hall, we will be there soon.”
Upon hearing Qin Chongyang’s instruction, no one would dare defy it.
Qin Zhining, Qin Hao, and Qin Hongyan had instantly become the popular people. They were surrounded by people as they walked towards the Upright Morality Hall. Clearly, everyone wanted to learn first-hand the information given to them.
The place where the Head Chief was in solitary training was the most arduous and safest place. The mountains were high forming a single line and almost perpendicular to the ground. Above the tall skyscraper-like cliffs, they arrived before a cave dwelling.
Dense purple clouds were overflowing from the cave dwelling’s surroundings. Qin Chongyang and Qin Yunran took the two juniors with them and arrived before the entrance of the cave.
Qin Chongyang said with a low voice, “Head Chief, Yunran and Chongyang have brought these two juniors to pay you a special visit. Congratulations on your training.”
Qin Yunran also laughed. “Head Chief, you have indeed been in solitary training for a long time.”
Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong did not dare make a sound for they could feel the powerful Supreme Dao movements surrounding the cave.
Just this presence was enough to prove that this Head Chief of the Qin Clan was definitely not ordinary. His power had far surpassed Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang.
“Yunran, Chongyan, two hundred years have passed…” An aged voice slowly sounded from the interior, “Is everything well with the Qin clan?”
The voice of this Head Chief was incredibly aged, it could shake your soul upon hearing it.
When the Head Chief was in solitary training, certainly one would not know where Qin Wushuang was. Qin Taichong was also not born yet. Even people in their grandfather’s generation had most likely not been born.
Two hundred years had swayed amongst this mountain cliff.
“Although people had always sung about the decline of the Qin clan, they were still standing firmly. This time we have come to report good news before your cave, Head Chief.”
“Oh?” the aged voice said lightly. “Good news has not been reported for a long time, this time, what is the good news?”
Qin Chongyang continued with a smile, “This time, the Qin Clan was cared for by the heavens as they’ve blessed our worthy yet virtuous disciples with great martial powers at the Ten Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant of the Karakorum Immortal Clan. We have bravely seized the championship of the competition and the other disciple has achieved fourth place. In total, we have acquired three Supreme Dao Fruit as a reward!”
“Three Supreme Dao Fruit?” The aged voice of the Head Chief was clearly amazed to the extent that it sounded somewhat incited, “Chongyang, are you speaking the truth?”
“Head Chief, not a word of a lie! Three Supreme Dao Fruit are genuine goods. They are bestowed to us by the five totem powerhouses personally.”
The Head Chief was stunned and after a while, he laughed. “Great! Indeed, this is great news! My Qin Clan has enforced justice on behalf of heaven. It seems we are not abandoned by the heavens, but rather they still hold us in their eyes. Excellent, it seems in the past two hundred years we have had some promising youth. Excellent!”
“Head Chief, not just this, but Qin Wushuang also killed Xin Wuji, the son of Xin Tianwen, the Heavenly Emperor. He has thwarted the arrogance of the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan. Also, Qin Wushuang, this child has also seized two Supreme Dao Fruit from a divine beast. It means the Qin Clan has a total of five Supreme Dao Fruit!”
“Ah?” Even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as the Head Chief was stunned instantly. Five Supreme Dao Fruit? Why did this sound too surreal?
Being the greatest honorable person of a sect, he knew the preciousness of these items. In terms of this good, it’s possible for one to appear only once every few hundred years.
Not to mention five, to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, even the appearance of one would cause people to compete with their head broken and blood flowing. They would not spare to lose their lives.
Five, this was simply an astronomical figure!
The Head Chief, for a time was stunned by this news. After having enjoyed it in retrospect, he regained his senses and said with a bitter smile, “Yunran, Chongyang, you have indeed surprised me. With these five Supreme Dao Fruit, give me five more years and certainly the Qin Clan will seize the Heavenly Emperor Position!”
There was a trace of unquestionable confidence and affirmation from the tone of Head Chief. Five years, for five years, as long as he used all the Supreme Dao Fruit, it would bring them five Supreme Dao elite warriors. Even in the unlucky situation, where one warrior was lacking in talent and incapable of breaking through, it could at least promise four new Supreme Dao elite warriors!
The success rate after consuming the Supreme Dao Fruit was above ninety-five percent. Among one hundred people, there would not be more than five cases of failure.
Therefore, among five, having four break through to the Supreme Dao Stage was a reserved statement.
Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang also had a thorough understanding of the political outlook of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. At the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, if a sect were to have seven or eight Supreme Dao elite warriors, they could definitely claim the throne.
Even in the Qin Clan’s best years, they only had seven or eight Supreme Dao elite warriors.
If all five Supreme Dao Fruit were used well, the Qin Clan would have an extra five Supreme Dao Fruit elite warriors. If you added in the three Chiefs, it would be a total of eight elite warriors.
Instantly, they would be rivaling the Qin Clan’s strongest years in history!
Therefore, both Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang were well aware of the possibility for this thing to work. Because of this, they had dared to deliver this good news to the Head Chief.
It was because they also had a clear grasp of the political outlook.
“Yunra, what is the name of the young man who won the championship?” Finally, the Head Chief had calmed down and remembered the most important business.
“Head Chief, the name of this child is Qin Wushuang. The fourth place winner is Qin Taichong. Taichong, this child is the Senior Brother of the Ascending Dragon Slope. Wushuang is a new core disciple. He came from the human countries and is a descendant of Qin Yu.”
“Qin Yu? That Qin Yu that was at loggerheads with Zhihuai? He has an older brother called Qin Xiang, right?”
After all, the Head Chief was the ruler of the Qin Clan. Before the emergence of Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang, the Head Chief had also managed all the secular affairs of the Qin Clan. Therefore, he knew clearly these classic stories.
“Yes, it’s that Qin Yu,” Qin Chongyang replied. “Wushuang, Taichong, hurry and pay your respects to the Head Chief.”
Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong did not dare to disobey. Both of them saluted before this legendary cave dwelling of the Head Chief and said, “Wushuang, Taichong are meeting the Head Chief.”
“You may dispense from courtesy young men, nicely done. My Qin Clan is able to become world famous because of you, it’s worthy of celebration. Wushuang, Taichong, what is your current strength, have you reached the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage yet?” the Head Chief asked.
“Head Chief, I am currently at the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage, I have yet to enter the Common Mysterious Stage,” Qin Wushuang answered honestly.
Qin Taichong also said, “I am only at the Peak of the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage, I am still one step away from the Common Mysterious Stage.”
“Oh?” The Head Chief pondered upon this with full interest. “Two of you around the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage were capable of winning the championship and fourth place at the Illusion Heavenly Lake, remarkable! All sects should have had a few disciples at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage I imagine…”
“Including Xin Wuji, there were five or six at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. However, before the start of the ordeal, Qin Wushuang had killed Xin Wuji. He had not participated at all. The other two at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage were disqualified by Wushuang. Therefore, Taichong was able to make it to the top four,” Qin Yunran filled him in on the situation.
The Head Chief laughed. “Good, one at the Exquisite Mystery Boundary Stage was able to kill one at the Peak of the Common Mysterious. Once would be alright, yet you were able to disqualify them two or three times, remarkable! It’s truly remarkable! For my Qin Clan, such young people with overflowing talent have not appeared for a long time.”
When he said this, suddenly Head Chief changed the direction of his tone. “Yunran, Chongyang, how are you guys planning to distribute the Supreme Dao Fruit? Although this is a good thing, if not distributed well, it will influence our unity.”
“For these five Supreme Dao Fruit, Wushuang had won four. I think that we should at least reward one to him, as a personal reward. The two Supreme Dao Fruit Wushuang seized from next to the divine beast, for now we have not announced it to the public. Although the outside world is making assumptions, it has not been verified.”
The Head Chief nodded. “Per the rules, because he was responsible for getting four, half of them should be the reward.”
Qin Wushuang immediately said, “I am already satisfied with one.”
“Wushuang, it’s not a problem to award these to you,” the Head Chief said lightly. “However, I want to advise you, with your talent and age, it’s better if you could avoid consuming the Supreme Dao Fruit! With your own talent, you would have a great chance to make it for the Supreme Dao Stage on your own. Do not let the Supreme Dao Fruit rob the precious experience of making a dash for the Supreme Dao!”
Qin Wushuang said seriously, “Head Chief, I will never consume the Supreme Dao Fruit.”
“Taichong, what about you?” The Head Chief asked.
Qin Taichong said, “I also want to make a dash for it with my own strength.
The Head Chief laughed. “Excellent, young people should make a dash! The Supreme Dao Fruit is suitable for those a few hundred years old or even a few thousand years old at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage who are incapable of pounding against the Supreme Dao Stage themselves. Perhaps, they would not have any hope for their entire lives. The Supreme Dao Fruit is suitable for them! Young men, when you are not even forty years old, it would be foolish to rely on the Supreme Dao Fruit!”
Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong nodded and their hearts were filled with motivation.
