“This is the legendary ancient imperial clan, the battle sage ape! They’ve also been revived in this era?” The big scorpion cried out in alarm. Although it had been staying in the Demon Emperor Tomb, it still knew some of the ten thousand ancient races and was quite terrified of some of them.
Qin Chen ignored the big scorpion and cupped his hands at Prince Zhan. He laughed loudly, “Thank you for your help back then, Prince Zhan.”
“Haha, there’s no need to be so polite!” Prince Zhan laughed, “Besides, even if I didn’t do anything, I’m afraid you would be fine. Did you find the legendary Demon Emperor Tomb after entering the forbidden ground?”
Qin Chen nodded and replied softly, “Something has happened in the Demon Emperor Tomb and it is now closed off. If it doesn’t reappear on its own accord, I’m afraid no one will be able to find it.”
“It’s closed off? I had wanted to go and explore, but it seems that I’m a step too late. However, there are still eight of the nine great forbidden grounds left. How about we go together in the future?” Prince Zhan extended an invitation to go to the forbidden grounds with Qin Chen.
Qin Chen nodded. The forbidden grounds were all precious places with remnant divinity, so he would naturally head to those places to check in one by one. Thus, he agreed, “I’m sure we’ll have a chance to go together in the future, but now, I need to return to the Taiyi Holy Land.”
“Very well. Something major happened not long ago there. You should go back and take a look,” Prince Zhan nodded and left on his cloud, not stalling Qin Chen any longer.
Qin Chen frowned and looked puzzled. He was curious as to what had happened, so he used the void divine altar to tear the void and rush back to the Taiyi Holy Land with the big scorpion.
At the Taiyi Holy Land, the void was torn apart and the disciples all looked over. When they saw the familiar figure whose face was covered by layers of chaotic light, they were all excited.
“It’s the Elder King! The Elder King has returned!”
“The Elder King is back! Quickly ring the bell to inform the whole sect. ”
“Hahaha! I knew that the Elder King would definitely be fine.”
“Elder King! The Elder King!”
The disciples went crazy. Ever since the news that the Elder King was forced into the forbidden ground by Supreme Sage Peng Kong spread, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been furious. Many of them even declared that they would fight the roc imperial clan to the death.
However, due to fear of the roc imperial clan’s strength, Ling Ran gave the order to close the gates, which made countless disciples feel very aggrieved.
Although many were spreading rumors that the Elder King was dead, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land didn’t believe it. They believed that Elder King would return and lead them to destroy the roc imperial clan.
Now that Elder King had truly returned, how could they not be excited?
The news spread.
Lord Dragon, Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and the other higher-ups of the Holy Land rushed over very quickly. When they saw Qin Chen’s figure, their faces were filled with joy. All of them bowed and shouted in unison, “Greetings, Elder King!”
Qin Chen nodded and took a step forward. In an instant, he had brought everyone back to the main hall.
This move shocked everyone. It seemed that the Elder King’s strength had improved again.
“Did anything major happen after I entered the forbidden ground?” Qin Chen spoke.
Ling Ran nodded and walked up to Qin Chen. She told him about how the old lunatic killed a God and how he fought with Sage Emperor Tai Yang of the primordial sage race.
When Qin Chen heard that the old madman had killed a God, he was shocked.
He had never thought that the old madman would be so terrifyingly strong that he could even kill an ancient God of the primordial sage race. From this, it could be seen that the old madman was not only a Shifang God but probably no ordinary ancient God either.
When Qin Chen learned that Sage Emperor Tai Yang, the primordial emperor, had awakened and attacked the old lunatic across time and space, even though he did not witness the scene, he was secretly worried for the old lunatic.
Although the ancient Gods were strong, which ancient great emperor didn’t walk to the extreme from the God realm and prove their path to become an Emperor?
However, when he finally learned that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had also made a move from eons away, he was even more shocked. He was very curious as to where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was.
What kind of scene had ensued when a heavenly emperor and Sage Emperor Tai Yang fought through space and time?
“The primordial sage race is a traitor? Who did they betray? What faction did they defect to?” Qin Chen frowned. The old madman was clearly not an ordinary ancient God. The other party had probably lived countless years and knew countless ancient secrets.
From the jumbled words of the old lunatic, one could tell that the primordial era was not simple. The departure of the great ancient emperors most likely hid secrets that no one knew.
Whether it was the 33 steles in the great emperor’s palace or the words of the crazy old man, all of them seemed to be hinting that the ancient great emperors’ departure was related to an emperor-level battle.
Qin Chen had once seen Qin Shihuang’s expedition back in the Great Qin Dynasty. As the Emperor of the Ages, who could make him personally lead an expedition?
There were too many questions that he did not have the answers to. Perhaps only when his strength reached the great emperor level could he answer the doubts in his heart.
“Elder King, now that you’ve returned safely, do we still have to settle the score with the roc imperial clan?” Lu Xuan looked at the Elder King with some concern because he knew that the Elder King had always been used to being domineering. Since the roc imperial clan had bullied him, he most likely would seek revenge.
Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed and he said coldly, “I’ve told the world before that when I return, I’ll exterminate the entire roc race. Tell everyone in the sect to make preparations. Tomorrow morning, we’ll attack the roc imperial clan!”
“Elder King, the roc imperial clan is an ancient imperial clan. The Taiyi Holy Land is still far from them! Since you are fine anyway, please reconsider your decision!” A supreme elder said worriedly. Although the Taiyi Holy Land was no longer the same as before, he still didn’t agree to start a war with the roc imperial clan. After all, the strength of both sides was still far from being equal.
“Don’t worry,” Qin Chen said indifferently, “I won’t be blindly arrogant when attacking the roc imperial clan. I naturally have the corresponding means to deal with them.”
When everyone heard this, they did not dare to object and agreed one after another.
After he finished speaking, everyone busied themselves with their preparations. After all, attacking an ancient imperial clan was no small matter. Naturally, they had to be well-prepared.
After everyone had left, Ling Ran, who was standing outside the hall, looked at Qin Chen deeply. She suddenly whispered, “It’s good that you’re back!”
Qin Chen’s figure paused slightly, and a soft sigh resounded…
Then, he went to the great emperor’s palace and routinely checked in.
At this time, the big black pot that he had put in a separate spatial artifact suddenly cried out, “This… this is a great emperor’s palace, right? I didn’t expect this! Brat, to think you’re so lucky to have found such a precious place.”
As soon as it finished saying this, the big black pot exclaimed again, “What a prodigal! To think the floor is made from divine ores. Even a great emperor shouldn’t be so wasteful!”
Qin Chen ignored it and went straight to the thirty-three steles to check-in. Along the way, he could hear the big black pot’s incessant exclamations.
“Oh my God! These thousand-foot steles are actually made of divine materials,” The big black pot cried out in surprise and jumped out of the spatial artifact. Then, it grabbed the steles and actually wanted to devour them!
With that, the stele exuded a monstrous emperor’s might. It was obvious that it had been offended by the big black pot. The explosion of the emperor’s might sent the big black pot flying.
Qin Chen cursed, thinking that the big black pot would be destroyed. However, to his surprise, the big black pot survived the emperor’s might.
