CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181 NORTHERN DOMAIN

That night, Qin Chuan comforted the depressed blonde woman.

Like spring rain nurturing all things silently.

The blonde woman, too, cast aside her concerns about her identity and taught Qin Zi the Night Emperor’s family legacy cultivation technique—the Night Emperor’s Sky Battle Scripture.

As a result.

Qin Zi now possessed three illicit Emperor-level techniques, and just venturing into the Nine Heavens Main Continent is bound to stir trouble!

Moreover, with these three cultivation techniques, Qin Zi’s ability to cause trouble will rise to a new level, and earning "rely-on-dad points" would be much quicker.

Truly, one stone kills two birds!

In the following days, Qin Chuan took Qin Zi back to the Eastern Domain Divine Radiance Mountain, which could be considered his old base.

Qin Zi began to seclude himself, diligently training in the three Martial Emperor techniques, and occasionally looking northward.

Qin Chuan noticed this little action.

He knew, this youngster was lovesick.

With spring’s arrival, life renews, and it’s again the season for animals to reproduce, with hormones thick in the mountain air...

Children will always appear immature before their parents, but privately, they have their emotional needs.

Hence, when children hide in their rooms alone, only for parents to suddenly burst in, many embarrassments and social upheavals ensue.

"Hehe, in that case, let’s head north next, after all, women are a man’s motivation to show off."

Qin Chuan happily made a decision.

During this time, within the Eastern Domain, two mysterious figures rose to fame, causing many to grit their teeth!

One is a thief.

The other, a grave robber!

These two, one steals from the living, the other from the dead, and they have never failed.

Many talented individuals fell victim to that thief, who seemed adept at illusion technique and poisons, often knocking people out with a glance, and when they woke, found themselves stripped bare.

Whether they could keep their underwear depended on its quality—if it was valuable, they might end up streaking in broad daylight.

Moreover, this thief was skilled in arrays, often sneaking into sects and families, stealing their entire treasure troves.

And the grave robber was even more brutal, as recently, the ancestral graves of many major powers in the Eastern Domain were desecrated, suffering heavy losses.

Even an Emperor’s tomb was robbed, with not only the burial items stolen, but even the Emperor’s corpse wasn’t spared!

The victim of having their Emperor’s corpse stolen was the Dingsheng Royal Family’s Jiang Family, who are now zealously hunting the grave robber, while simultaneously wanting the thief caught too, as both their deeds are equally vile...

However, the warrant does little good.

As no one knows what these two scoundrels look like, let alone their names.

Besides this.

Recently, two great talents emerged in the Eastern Domain: Lin Yi from the Dongsheng Divine Sect, and Wu Dao from the East Emperor Hall.

These two are evenly matched, in both talent and background.

Lin Yi, a disciple of the Sword Emperor, and Wu Dao, a disciple of the East Emperor Hall’s East Emperor, both held unusually high statuses.

Chu Zhongtian and Xuan Tianji remained low-key.

And over at the Ten Thousand Swords Celestial River, it’s said there have been unusual movements, both the Ji family and Qi family are keeping a close watch, hoping to find the murderers of Ji Xuanyuan and Qi Huang. Of course, everyone knows revenge is just a pretext; what they really seek is control over the relic beneath the river!

Regarding these matters, Qin Chuan was well aware but didn’t bother to intervene or share with others.

He hopes to see a flourishing era, and naturally, should give these people the chance to grow in obscurity.

Be they gods or ghosts, even if demons dance wildly in a grand feast, in this life... ultimately, it is he who will reign supreme!

Time flew by, and two months passed.

Qin Zi mastered the three great Emperor Scriptures, progressing rapidly in his cultivation, becoming significantly more powerful in terms of body, energy, and primordial spirit!

The potential of the Divine Body was once again unleashed, and now, Qin Zi was at his peak, truly starting to have the majesty of a Divine Body.

Under a similar level of cultivation, even if he stood still for others to hit, few could shake his body.

This combat power made Qin Chuan a bit anxious, prompting him to covertly practice the three Emperor Scriptures himself.

He could be considered invincible within the same level.

But that’s just brute force invincibility, as true power isn’t just about raw strength; differences in cultivation techniques, divine techniques, and weapons also exist.

So, there’s still room for improvement.

He always believed there’s no such thing as perpetual invincibility; only through continuous learning and progress can one remain strong.

"Dad, let’s... go to the Northern Domain."

That day, after coming out of seclusion, Qin Zi said shyly, twisting and turning.

"Missing your little girlfriend?"

Qin Chuan said with a teasing smile.

"Ahem, what are you saying, I just heard the Northern Domain is filled with talents and wanted to experience it."

Qin Zi coughed twice, raising his voice to cover up as he explained, "You also said, I have to go out and compete with various talents to become a strong warrior; secluding oneself is of no use!"

"Hmm, makes sense... makes sense..."

Qin Chuan looked at him meaningfully, a teasing expression on his face.

Instantly, Qin Zi’s face turned red.

Indeed, his little secret couldn’t escape his dad.

...

Northern Domain, frozen lands.

Different from the vibrant Southern Domain, it was almost lifeless but grander overall.

Mountains rose majestically, touching the sky, exuding an ancient and everlasting majesty.

Compared to the Eastern Domain, this desolate land had harsh environments, but as a result, the people were more robust, with better physical qualities, making their overall strength superior to the Eastern Domain.

And in the frozen wastes, lust doesn’t easily cloud the mind, and it’s hard to find any place for "outdoor collaborations"... so even if urges arise suddenly, they often have to be suppressed.

This not only reduces physical and mental depletion but also increases training time.

Focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation, naturally, efficiency significantly increases, hence the abundance of strong warriors in the Northern Domain.

"Shoo!"

In the sky, a golden light roared from the distant south, initially far away, but instantly was overhead.

So whose perspective is this?

Naturally...

"Thump!"

A young swordsman riding through the snowy terrain suddenly toppled over, horse and all, truly a scene of man and horse overturned.

"What terrifying pressure!"

After falling to the ground, he rolled over, then looked up aghast, to find two figures suspended above him.

"You... you..."

The young swordsman turned pale, looked at the two in awe, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Don’t be afraid, I just want to ask a few questions."

The white-clad youth among them smiled and said.

"You... you may ask."

The young swordsman lay on the ground, his mind almost blank, clinging to the thought of guessing the cultivation levels of these two.

"Do you know Shui Qingrou?"

Qin Chuan asked with a smile.

"Shui Qingrou?"

The young swordsman thought for a moment, uncertainly replying, "As far as I know, the Divine Maiden of the Beiji Divine Hall seems to be called Shui Qingrou."

"It should be her! How is she doing now?"

Qin Zi hurriedly asked.

The young swordsman glanced at Qin Zi, then said with a wry smile, "How could she be? As a disciple of a Realm Emperor expert, she’s definitely better off than me! As for how exactly she is, that’s beyond my knowledge."

"Has any major event occurred at the Beiji Divine Hall? Or any outside enemies invading?"

Qin Chuan inquired.

Logically, with the prophesied one here, if nothing arises allowing the prophesied one to show off, that’d be unusual!

If nothing happens, why did you come?

If nothing happens, how can you save the day, make a grand entrance, or a classic reunion with the damsel, hero saving the day?

Yet, the young swordsman, after pondering, bitterly smiled and said, "That... should be... no, right?"

Faced with such questions, he didn’t know how to answer, and if it were someone else asking, he might have directly cursed back!

What could happen at the Beiji Divine Hall?

They themselves are giants enough; it’s enough if they don’t trouble others, who would dare trouble them?
