Yulong Divine Emperor was somewhat surprised; did Qin Hanchu really dare to challenge them?
Putting away the jade slip, Yulong Divine Emperor said with a cold sneer, "After the grand event, you'll probably be so scared you'll flee overnight, won't you?"
"You'll know then," Qin Hanchu chuckled lightly, then walked out of the inn with Axiang's hand in his.
After Qin Hanchu and Axiang had walked away, Chilong said, "Isn't this guy just putting on a brave front?"
"I think so too," the third one scoffed.
Yulong Divine Emperor pondered and said, "Not necessarily. Don't forget that there are other people from Gu Dao Academy who are coming."
"You mean he's waiting for reinforcements?" Chilong asked.
Yulong Divine Emperor nodded, "Keep an eye on how many people from Gu Dao Academy have arrived."
...
Walking through the city, Axiang looked curiously at the passers-by.
Although everyone had restrained their aura, one could still tell from their demeanor that there were quite a few Divine Emperors among them.
"There are so many Divine Emperors, but very few can truly cultivate to the Ancestor realm."
Qin Hanchu said, "With the assistance of our supreme treasures, we have a much greater chance than others."
Chatting as they walked, the two strolled through the city.
As the main city of the Luotian Dojo, the cultivation resources here were extremely abundant.
As long as one had enough Divine Crystals, even top-tier Divine Artifacts could be purchased.
Before they knew it, the two arrived at the free trade area of Luotian City.
Like other free trade areas, there were many martial artists setting up stalls here.
Qin Hanchu sent a telepathic message to the Kai Tian Divine Axe, "Sense it, see if there's anything good here?"
"Are good things really that easy to find?" the Kai Tian Divine Axe replied.
Qin Hanchu chuckled awkwardly, "Never mind, let's just wander around."
"Oh, there really is something good."
Just as Qin Hanchu was about to wander aimlessly, the Kai Tian Divine Axe suddenly transmitted a message.
"What?" Qin Hanchu asked in surprise.
"Walk forward, there's a woman in green."
Qin Hanchu took Axiang's hand and said, "Come with me."
"Is there a treasure?" Axiang asked, seeing the smile on Qin Hanchu's lips.
Qin Hanchu replied, "Perhaps, let's go take a look first."
Weaving through the crowd, the two soon arrived not far from the woman in green.
Qin Hanchu glanced at the woman's stall but found that it was filled with ordinary Divine Realm resources.
"Where is the good stuff? Her stall doesn't even have a single Divine Emperor-level resource," Qin Hanchu transmitted to the Kai Tian Divine Axe.
"If my senses are correct, this woman should be a reincarnated Ancestor."
Qin Hanchu was startled by the Kai Tian Divine Axe's words, "What did you say? She's a reincarnated Ancestor?"
The Kai Tian Divine Axe nodded, "She should be. I sensed a faint trace of Origin Power on her."
"Meaning she has a high chance of becoming an Ancestor?"
The Kai Tian Divine Axe said, "Her chances are indeed much greater than ordinary people."
"Has Pangu the Ancestor also reincarnated?"
Since other Ancestors had the chance to reincarnate, it stood to reason that powerful beings like Pangu the Ancestor, who possessed an Origin Supreme Treasure, would have an even greater chance of reincarnation.
"Pangu the Ancestor has achieved the Dao!"
"Achieved the Dao?" Qin Hanchu heard this term for the first time, "What does that mean?"
"Achieving the Dao is not death, but it has completely separated us."
"As for the specifics, only those who have achieved the Dao know."
Qin Hanchu always felt that everything in this world was strange, as if it had no end.
Even though he had reached the Divine Emperor realm now, he still couldn't see through the essence of this world.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Qin Hanchu approached the woman in green.
This woman was stunningly beautiful, with a clear and ethereal temperament that seemed to transcend the mundane.
Her current cultivation realm was only the mid-stage of the Divine King realm.
"Greetings to you both, seniors."
Although Qin Hanchu and Axiang had concealed their auras, the woman in green could still sense the powerful aura emanating from them.
"What is your name?" Qin Hanchu asked.
Hearing Qin Hanchu inquire about her name, the woman in green was somewhat surprised, "This junior is Qiu Jinshu!"
"What sect do you belong to?" Qin Hanchu continued to ask.
"My previous sect was destroyed, and now I am a lone cultivator." Qiu Jinshu asked, puzzled, "May I ask why you are asking these questions, senior?"
"I want to take you as my disciple, what do you think?"
This was the reincarnation of an Ancestor-level powerhouse, who had a high chance of becoming an Ancestor in the future.
By forming a master-disciple relationship with her now, he might gain an Ancestor-level disciple in the future.
"Ah?"
Qiu Jinshu was a little stunned; she hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to want to take her as a disciple.
"My husband and I are both at the Divine Emperor realm. Should that be enough qualification to be your master?"
Qiu Jinshu had initially thought Qin Hanchu was only at the Divine Sovereign realm, but she hadn't expected Qin Hanchu and Axiang to both be Divine Emperors.
Divine Emperors were already considered powerful beings in the Divine Realm, so becoming her master was more than sufficient.
However, she was very curious as to why Qin Hanchu would actively take her as a disciple.
"May I ask why you would take me as a disciple, senior?" Qiu Jinshu directly asked the question in her heart.
Qin Hanchu replied, "Because your talent is extraordinary, and you will surely become a Divine Emperor in the future."
"This..." Qiu Jinshu hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to give such a reason.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Don't you believe me?"
"I wouldn't dare," Qiu Jinshu quickly said.
Qin Hanchu chuckled and handed her his telepathic communication jade slip, "Don't be so nervous. You can consider it. If you're willing, contact me."
"Thank you for your favor, senior." Qiu Jinshu took the telepathic communication jade slip.
Qin Hanchu didn't say anything else and walked forward with Axiang.
"Why do you suddenly want to take a disciple? Are you smitten?" Axiang teased Qin Hanchu, as he hadn't told her about Qiu Jinshu yet.
Qin Hanchu gave Axiang a look, and then he told her about Qiu Jinshu's background.
Upon learning that Qiu Jinshu was a reincarnated Ancestor, Axiang exclaimed in surprise, "Does that mean she must have many Ancestor-level Divine Skills in her memory?"
"We don't lack Ancestor-level Divine Skills either."
Since reaching the Divine Emperor realm, he had obtained the complete Pangu inheritance.
Even Axiang had obtained several Ancestor-level Divine Skills from the Seven Kill Prison Pagoda.
"That's true," Axiang nodded and smiled.
After wandering around the city for a day, the two returned to their inn to cultivate.
Time passed quickly during cultivation, and one day their door was knocked upon.
"Seniors, the grand event of the Luotian Dojo will be held in three days. You should set off for the Luotian Dojo."
The speaker was the inn's waiter, who was responsible for reminding the powerful individuals who came to participate in the grand event.
Upon receiving the waiter's reminder, Qin Hanchu and Axiang finally came out.
As they were paying their room fees, they encountered Tianmu Divine Emperor and Hua Qiuyu.
"Brother Baili, shall we travel together this time?"
Hua Qiuyu and Tianmu were of the same faction, so they naturally gravitated towards each other.
Now that they had arrived at Luotian City, Qin Hanchu felt no need to fear any ulterior motives they might have, which was why he asked.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Of course. After all, we are fellow disciples."
"Let's go and inquire about the news of the grand event," Tianmu Divine Emperor said.
