In a blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Having grown up, Qian Linglong also recently made a breakthrough into the Saint Realm.
And not just mere Sage Realm; she had condensed more than a dozen Dharma manifestations.
Additionally, these manifestations of Dharma were all powerful manifestations.
Because of this, Qian Linglong's battle prowess was almost comparable to that of an ordinary Immortal Realm expert.
Everyone on the Lingxuan continent was in awe of her incredible cultivation speed and strength.
However, Long Feijian and the others inside the Heavenly Palace's Lingxiao Hall breathed a sigh of relief.
"Compared to the Heavenly Emperor, the foreign Empress is still inferior.”
"It's extremely unlikely that another abnormal talent will appear like the Heavenly Emperor."
The foreign Empress' identity was no longer a mystery to them at this point.
The face of Qian Linglong resembled that of a foreign empress, as she was a grown woman.
…
Qian Linglong sat on the Heavenly Emperor's throne, gazing at the screen above.
Her face gradually became solemn at this point.
As the events unfolded, she knew she would be separated from her Master.
It would also be her biggest calamity.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
Woo… woo…
Suddenly, a low trumpet reverberated throughout the foreign land.
As soon as Qian Linglong heard the trumpet sound, her complexion changed. Then she glanced at Lin Yan several times but didn't say anything.
Having been with Lin Yan for so long, Qian Linglong knew he was most concerned about her cultivation.
He wasn't too concerned about the others.
It wasn't as if Qian Linglong wouldn't care about others if her Master didn't care.
Even if her hometown didn't care for her, it was still hers.
Eventually, after two days of hesitation, Qian Linglong gave in.
When Lin Yan was outside, she walked out quietly.
"Master, please wait for me to return so we can train together." Muttering to herself, Qian Linglong tore open the space, leaving with a whirl.
Only after Qian Linglong had left did Lin Yan's figure emerge from the darkness on the side she had just left.
How could he not notice Qian Linglong's strange behavior in the past two days?
He did not stop Qian Linglong because he already knew what the sound of the horn meant.
In fact, Lin Yan would have been disappointed if Qian Linglong had ignored the horn's sound.
For a moment, Lin Yan stared in the direction Qian Linglong left before turning around and returning home.
He could borrow power from his original body, but his present body was too weak.
This body would collapse immediately if he used too much power.
Chaos would soon envelop the outside world.
He could stay on this land for a few more days if he wanted to.
…
Suddenly, everyone from the Lingxuan Continent looked at Qian Linglong.
The people initially wondered why Qian Linglong reacted strongly to that trumpet sound and left.
When they saw Qian Linglong's current situation, they finally understood.
At this moment, a terrifying demonic disaster has erupted in the foreign land.
A devilish calamity swept the entirely foreign country.
Many extraterrestrial devils possessed numerous green-skinned monsters and ruthlessly attacked all human races in the foreign land.
Humans were massacred in no time.
Human cultivators were huddled around a giant sculpture of the God Taichu on the foreign continent.
These devils could not attack humans with the power emanating from this sculpture.
Earlier, the trumpet resounded throughout the foreign land, which was meant to gather all human cultivators.
In this battle against the devils, all human cultivators must participate.
Without them, the human race in the foreign land would be wiped out.
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
"In the foreign land, the situation of the human race is too barbarous."
"The humans of the foreign land are worshiping the ancient God Taichu?"
“The human race would have long been extinct in the foreign land if they hadn't taken shelter from that the God Taichu’s sculpture."
"Hmm... Could Taichu, our ancient God, have visited foreign lands in ancient times? If not, how could the God Taichu sculpture exist there?"
Many people watched the screen above, worried about the human race in this foreign land.
The giant sculpture in the middle, however, attracted more attention.
A constant power source emanated from this sculpture, annihilating the surrounding devils.
The devils would immediately let out a miserable howl once they entered the sculpture's power field, and their power would rapidly decay.
It gave the human cultivators hope that they could defeat them.
If not, those devils would have killed the human race in the foreign land without the sculpture's blessing by now.
Some people were suspicious because such a strange Taichu sculpture did not exist on the Lingxuan continent.
Their records showed that the ancient era of the God Taichu was always imbued with the spirit of the Lingxuan continent.
Moreover, the fact that God Taichu had traveled to a foreign land had never been mentioned.
So, people from the Lingxuan Continent were therefore intrigued by the giant Taichu’s sculpture.
However, they were more concerned about Qian Linglong on the screen, who was in critical condition.
…
(Within The Screen In Sky)
Boom!
Boom!
Many devil experts surrounded Qian Linglong, completely blocking her path.
Qian Linglong could no longer escape back to the Taichu sculpture's surroundings, even if she wanted to.
"Qian Linglong, the new supreme genius of the human race. Tsk tsk, your flesh will be really fine and tender. You'll be delicious."
Several Immortal Realm Devils surrounded Qian Linglong.
Few days ago, when Qian Linglong returned, she demonstrated incredible strength, becoming one of the rising geniuses.
She had already begun to attract the attention of these devils, in particular.
It wasn't until today that they finally caught Qian Linglong.
Unfortunately, the green-skinned monsters possessed by devils blocked all the human cultivators who wanted to come to Qian Linglong's rescue.
Qian Linglong had no choice but to fight to the death.
Qian Linglong's face was ashen, and her gaze slowly swept over the monsters in front of her.
Nevertheless, she couldn't resist looking in another direction where her smelly brother Master was.
"Master, take care… In the next life, I will still be your disciple."
Qian Linglong's expression immediately changed to one of determination as she sighed lightly in her heart.
Boom!
Abruptly, she manifested more than a dozen dharma forms.
A fierce spiritual qi surrounded Qian Linglong as she swept toward the monsters before her.
There was no doubt that Qian Linglong's battle prowess had long reached the Immortal Realm.
She was, however, surrounded by monsters with higher cultivation than the Immortal Realm.
Qian Linglong couldn't stand a chance with so many monsters attacking simultaneously.
Even the dharma forms were blown away by Qian Linglong's explosion, but nothing changed.
Despair.
At this moment, Qian Linglong was left with nothing but despair.
…
Everyone on the Lingxuan continent tensed up when they saw the desperate Qian Linglong on the screen.
Compared to those cannibal monsters, they were more willing to take Qian Linglong's side.
Lin Yan's figure appeared on the screen when they were looking tense.
This time, however, it wasn't Lin Yan who possessed the young man. Instead, it was the real Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Palace's Lingxiao Hall.
A magnificent aura surrounded him as he sat on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Slowly, he opened his eyes with a grim look on his face. His gaze penetrated into the foreign land.
"You dare try to kill my disciple, have I agreed?"
Lin Yan snorted lightly and condensed the spear in his hand.
The spear seemed to burst with power as if it were full of thunder and laws.
Swoosh!
The spear flew out of Lingxuan Continent in a flash and entered the foreign land.
This spear effortlessly tore through layers and layers of space.
Clap!
Clap!
It was like a small boat that was riding the waves.
The spear's light shone brighter as it approached the foreign land.
Eventually, this spear violently entered the foreign land.
As its terrifying power erupted, the monsters surrounding Qian Linglong were terrified.
With the power of that spear, they have instantly torn apart.
As a result, nearly half of the monsters in the foreign land were destroyed in a flash.
The cultivators of all races in the foreign land were stunned.
At this moment, Qian Linglong's figure fell from the sky.
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
"Despite knowing how terrifyingly strong the Heavenly Emperor is, I still tremble whenever he strikes."
“When the Heavenly Emperor strikes a foreign land without him present, who wouldn't tremble? With a single blow through the air, His Highness almost extinguished all the devils in the foreign land."
"Considering the Heavenly Emperor's strength, why didn't His Highness not exterminate all the extraterrestrial devils in the foreign land? Wouldn't that save the human race?"
"Isn't it evident that these Devils on the foreign land are the extraterrestrial Devils here? There is no point in exterminating them; they will be reborn in the foreign land in no time."
Thousands of cultivators marveled when the Heavenly Emperor's original body reappeared on the screen.
In the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor sat quietly and steadily a few decades ago, which shocked them.
…
(In The Lingxiao Hall, Heavenly Palace)
As Qian Linglong sat on that cold Heavenly Emperor's throne, she was lost in thought.
Her Master and the Heavenly Emperor were most likely the same person, but she wasn’t certain.
There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
But now, her hope had been shattered until this moment.
‘So it was my Master who also saved me at that time.' Mumbling to herself, Qian Linglong's eyes were filled with laughter and tears simultaneously.
Everyone in the foreign land thought it was the Taichu God’s power that saved them.
Back then, no one knew that it was actually the Heavenly Emperor from the Lingxuan Continent who saved the foreign land.
"But shortly afterward, I gave the Linglong Treasure Mirror to Lin Feng and the others in order to become a Heavenly Emperor."
With her eyes glued to the screen, past events continued to bubble up in the bottom of her heart, causing Qian Linglong's eyes to blacken.
-To be continued!
