Upon hearing the words of Mu Rong Xu, the minds of the major leaders of the Stargaze Palace felt much more at ease. Since the ancient times, it was too ordinary for sects to fight against each other. The total annihilation of a sect often occurred.
Although the Stargaze Palace had suffered a heavy loss, their core personnel did not suffer serious injuries. Their vital energy was not yet injured. As long as they could receive a time of restoration, they could prepare for a come back.
The most crucial part was that the enemies had paid an even more disastrous price. This was what mattered most.
With Qin Wushuang’s return, the crisis of the Stargaze Palace had been relieved temporarily. Of course, being stranded at the Endless Eastern Sea was not part of the plan.
In fact, they were not meet with good fortune this time. They had encountered such great billows after only sailing for a few hundred miles.
Not to mention that they were only above the sea surface and had yet to enter the water when their ship was shattered by the waves. It sunk directly to the bottom of the ocean.
The true hinterland of the Endless Eastern Sea was not above the sea, but at the bottom of the sea.
These millions of miles of sea had even surpassed the total amount of territory of all the other Forbidden Spiritual Zones of the Tian Xuan Land.
Do not underestimate these few hundred miles of sea that they’d have to cross, as hundreds of stranded people didn’t have a boat. Fortunately, these were core disciples of the Stargaze Palace. In addition to the trusted aides bought from the Heavenly Royal Mansion, the others were all elite warriors of the Upper Sky Realm. Although they could not fly in the air, it was not a problem for them to travel across a few hundred miles above the sea.
As for the people of the Heavenly Royal Mansion, they would need Qin Wushuang to carry them for part of the journey. Now, Qin Wushuang did not hold back as he summoned the remaining five sealed spiritual beasts.
With the spiritual beasts of the Profound Void Martial Stage and the Perfect Void Martial Stage, naturally it was piece of a cake to transport these people. In less than a moment, everyone had landed safely.
The spiritual keys could be used from the inside or out, so he used them to open and pass the three barriers as if he was taking a walk in the park.
Once they left the Endless Eastern Sea, everyone felt that a weight was off their shoulders. Every day in the past year was indeed, arduous.
When they left the Endless Eastern Sea, of course they were to avoid ears and eyes. Qin Wushuang led the Heavenly Royal Mansion people to head in one direction while the core members of the Stargaze Palace were to depart as another group.
When the remaining disciples at the Stargaze Palace heard the return of the five Palace Masters, they were overjoyed at the turn of events. They could truly see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Stargaze Palace that was dwindling in spirit instantly irradiated an agitated life force.
The big news of the return of the five Palace Masters of the Stargaze Palace had caused an uproar in the human countries. The Great Luo Empire, that was thought to be on the brink of collapse, instantly stabilized!
The powerhouses that had begun to get restless quietly put down their vigorous ambitions. Although the Stargaze Palace had encountered a fatal strike, there was no harm to its core members.
In other words, the Stargaze Palace still possessed strong vital energy that even surpassed its previous level. It was because the Head Palace Master and the Second Palace Master had both broken through the barrier of the Spiritual Martial Force and entered the Void Martial Force successfully.
To the human countries, this was a grand occasion that hadn’t happened for a few hundred years!
If the Stargaze Palace had not encountered such strike from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, Qin Wushuang would not have gotten himself involved with the secular affairs of the Stargaze Palace too much. It was because the status of the Stargaze Palace at the human countries did not need him to be involved.
Due to the disaster caused by the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, Qin Wushuang was to be duty bound for the rebuild of the Stargaze Palace. Although he could not intervene in the conflicts inside the human countries, his support was significant to the Stargaze Palace.
Of course, the Dragon and Tiger Sect was the most surprised at the rise of the Stargaze Palace. Thinking of Qin Wushuang’s warning to Xia Tianming, the Dragon and Tiger Sect had finally realized how stupid their earlier ambitions had been. Without a doubt, the Stargaze Palace would become a long-term navigator to the human countries.
Not to mention the Dragon and Tiger Sect, even the Emperor Buddha of the Nine Raven Temple would not be able to compete with the Stargaze Palace, if they continued to develop at such pace.
In the end, since the Stargaze Palace had produced Qin Wushuang, the defying elite warrior, they had been following the general trend and breaking through the fixed set up of the human countries.
“Wushuang, initially when I took you to the Stargaze Palace from the human countries, I knew you would become the pride and joy of the Stargaze Palace. However, I never thought that you would advance at such speed. Ha ha, Head Palace Master, could you ever have predicted today?” Tan Zhongchi was extremely moved.
With such a disciple, what more could a teacher ask for?
Whatever the Stargaze Palace crisis, they could rest peacefully. With Qin Wushuang, they would be free of worry even if the Stargaze Palace were to be struck down again.
Qin Wushuang could restore them from any hardships or battle with even the slightest of gestures.
Zhuo Buqun sighed. “Initially, our expectation for Wushuang was to shine together with Wei Yi. Now, Wei Yi is also progressing according to his speed and development, but… Who would have thought that Wushuang would already be several stages ahead of Wei Yi? Even us old guys would find it hard to look at his back.”
For instance, Zhong Wuying, the Third Palace Master, Leng Qiuchi, the Fourth Palace Master and Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace Master had directly become speechless. It was because they could no longer find the appropriate language to describe Qin Wushuang as they could only sigh with emotion.
Tan Zhongchi laughed. “In fact, I did not want Wushuang to progress at such rapid speed. Look, now he has entered the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan and is someone with reputation at the Xuan Yuan Mound. Naturally, he cannot be involved with conflicts inside the human countries.”
The words of Tan Zhongchi sounded as if he was regretful, but in fact, he was exculpating for Qin Wushuang. He was reminding everyone of Qin Wushuang’s current identity and to not criticize him harshly.
These old guys had shared a mutual understanding. Upon hearing the words of Tan Zhongchi, they nodded and said, “That’s right. In the future, Wushuang can only work behind the scenes for the Stargaze Palace. Of course, I would not believe that there would still be matters the Stargaze Palace cannot take care of. Unless, someone from the Xuan Yuan Mound comes again.”
Qin Wushuang said, “Palace Masters, the Heavenly Emperor said himself that certainly no one would dare defy the willpower of the Heavenly Emperor with such courage. Additionally, if someone from the Forbidden Spiritual Zone is to step out again, I will not sit and do nothing.”
“Yes, Wushuang, you just go do your thing at the Xuan Yuan Mound. The human countries have us five Palace Masters and the personal guards you hired are enough to deal with any situations at the human countries.”
Qin Wushuang nodded and took out two communication jade plates and handed them to Zhuo Buqun and Tan Zhongchi. “Head Palace Master, teacher, I have asked a grandmaster of talisman to craft this communication jade plate. It’s extremely useful. With this thing, we can communicate through spiritual perception even if we are a hundred million miles away. If there are any movements within the Xuan Yuan Mound, I can inform you immediately. This way, you guys will have enough time to make the necessary preparations.”
To the human countries, this communication jade plate was definitely a luxury good. Zhuo Buqun and Tan Zhongchi took it and felt somewhat disbelief.
“Unfortunately due to the lack of materials, I could only make ten,” Qin Wushuang said with a smile.
“Yes, Wushuang, your kind feelings are extremely heavy, we will take it.” Tan Zhongchi did not hold back. In fact, he was enjoying the benefits his disciple had brought to him.
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “There are also some weapons and armor I will offer to the Stargaze Palace return.”
Qin Wushuang had a rapid upgrade of equipment. Naturally, he had eliminated a lot of useless weapons. For some of them he had acquired after eliminating his enemies.
He rather valued quality over quantity. For the extra ones, of course he would get rid of them. Perhaps, these pieces of equipment could be count as treasures in the Xuan Yuan Mound, but they would certainly be treasured in the human countries.
After swapping some pointers with his teachers, Tan Zhongchi laughed. “Wushuang, you don’t need to stay here with us old ones, go see your father and your family.”
Now, Mu Rong Xu was not accompanying Qin Wushuang. Instead, she was chatting with Qin Xiu. Since Qin Xiu had a gentle personality, of course she had gotten along well with Mu Rong Xu.
With a few exchanged words, Mu Rong Xu had fallen in love with this sister-in-law. She felt, that although Qin Xiu was born and raised in the human countries, the gestures she showed through her movements would not lose to any of the big princesses at the Xuan Yuan Mound.
Qin Xiu and Mu Rong Xu saw each other eye-to-eye and were extremely satisfied with each other.
When Qin Wushuang returned, Qin Xiu said through a big smile, “Wushuang, hurry and chat with your sister.”
Qin Wushuang had relied on and loved his sister from a young age. He walked over with a smile and said, “Sis, where is father and your husband?”
“They took Chengcheng and went out.”
“Sis, I have come back to bring Xu’Er to you, but I also want to talk to you about Chengcheng.”
“Chengcheng?”
“Yes, sis, I want to move to the Eastwood Qin clan at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. I just don’t know what father would think.”
“Father has always longed to return to his ancestors. This has always been something on his mind, certainly he will not oppose this idea.”
“If father is willing to go, would you go too?”
“If father goes, of course we will go. Wushuang, are you all settled at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain?”
Qin Wushuang said, “It’s all settled and we can go at anytime. We can always make arrangements on the site.”
“Are we also going to move our ancestor’s human remains?”
Qin Wushuang shook his head. “This time we cannot move it for now. I plan to bring you guys over to become familiar with it, then when the right time comes…”
Before Qin Wushuang had finished talking, Qin Lianshan walked in from the outside. Apparently, he had heard Qin Wushuang’s words and walked over. “Wushuang, could it be we cannot move the human remains of our ancestors?”
Qin Wushuang could only tell them the truth. Unless he made major contributions at the Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin Clan, or else, it was not because he could not move it back. Instead, they could only put it outside the Sacrificial Valley and would have to do it at another time. This would be disrespectful to their ancestors.
Qin Lianshan said after muttering to himself, “Wushuang, then this time we will not go to the Aspiring Throne Mountain with you. When the time matures there, we will go.”
Qin Wushuang was not in a hurry as he nodded and said, “Then let’s wait a bit longer. Sis, how about I will bring Chengcheng over first. With his foundation, it’s unfortunate if he were to stay at the human countries to mature.”
“However, Chengcheng’s last name is not Qin.” Qin Xiu was somewhat worried about personal gains and losses.
“Ha ha, sis, the Qin Clan also has disciples of foreign surnames. There are Elders and core disciples that are elite warriors of foreign surnames. Although Chengcheng is not part of the Qin Clan, he is a close relative to the clan.”
Qin Xiu was hesitating to some extent. After all, Chengcheng had never been separated from her as he had grow to be four or five years old. Upon hearing of sudden separation, her motherly nature was overflowing.
Now, Da Xi Ming also walked in and said, “Wushuang, then you will take Chengcheng.”
Compared to Qin Xiu’s motherly nature, Da Xi Ming had the mentality of longing for his son’s success. Regardless, to developing in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain would give him a much better future than staying in the human countries.
Since everyone holds different opinions, they could only look at Qin Lianshan and wait for him, the leader of the clan to make the final call.
