Jianyun Peak was a mountain range ten thousand feet high. Its foothills were pleasant year-round, but its summit was perpetually snow-covered.
This mountain was home to numerous immortal herbs, with even divine herbs hidden among them.
Due to the abundance of medicinal resources, immortal realms and true gods often came here to search for them.
On this day, Qin Hanchu arrived.
The appearance of the Divine Flame Fire Bull sent the immortal beasts in the mountains into a frenzy of fear.
On Jianyun Peak, those at the Divine King realm were considered overlords.
Qin Hanchu built a thatched hut on the mountainside and then sent the Overlord Sea Sect Leader to the summit.
After all, the Overlord Sea Sect Leader was an expert at the Divine Venerable realm, and his divine sense range was far more expansive than Qin Hanchu's.
For the following period, Qin Hanchu remained on Jianyun Peak to cultivate.
Time flew by, and half a year had passed.
On this very day, Qin Hanchu received a telepathic message from the Overlord Sea Sect Leader: "Master, a Divine Venerable is approaching."
Qin Hanchu walked out of the thatched hut and, with a wave of his hand, set up a tea table: "Please, have a cup of tea."
The Overlord Sea Sect Leader responded and then went to meet the Divine Venerable.
In less than half an hour, the Overlord Sea Sect Leader arrived in front of the Divine Venerable.
This Divine Venerable appeared to be only in her early twenties. Not only was her figure graceful, but her appearance was also breathtakingly beautiful.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the matter?" The beautiful Divine Venerable spoke coldly upon seeing the Overlord Sea Sect Leader.
The Overlord Sea Sect Leader first cupped his hands in a salute and then said, "My master invites you."
"Master? Who might that be?"
The beautiful Divine Venerable could sense that the Overlord Sea Sect Leader was a powerful expert at the Divine Venerable realm.
Someone who could command a Divine Venerable to be their subordinate must be a Divine Emperor-level powerhouse, right?
Even though this was the territory of the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect, there were still some powerful rogue Divine Emperors.
The beautiful Divine Venerable pondered for a moment and nodded, "Lead the way."
"Please," the Overlord Sea Sect Leader said, and then flew towards Qin Hanchu.
A moment later, the beautiful Divine Venerable arrived at Jianyun Peak, led by the Overlord Sea Sect Leader.
Seeing the beautiful Divine Venerable approach, Qin Hanchu poured her a cup of tea: "Please sit."
The beautiful Divine Venerable probed Qin Hanchu's realm with her divine sense, but she could not detect his true cultivation level.
"Greetings, Senior."
To have a Divine Venerable serving as a subordinate, and to be unable to detect one's true realm, these two points combined led the beautiful Divine Venerable to believe that Qin Hanchu was undoubtedly a Divine Emperor-level expert.
Since his realm was higher than hers, she had to show him a certain degree of respect.
"There's no need for formalities, please sit," Qin Hanchu smiled.
The beautiful Divine Venerable looked at Qin Hanchu suspiciously before coming before him and sitting down: "May I know why Senior has summoned me?"
Qin Hanchu took a sip of tea and then asked, "Are you from the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect?"
The beautiful Divine Venerable nodded: "Indeed."
"Are you going to Cloud River City to witness the City Lord's contest?" Qin Hanchu continued to ask.
The beautiful Divine Venerable's gaze became even more suspicious. She did not understand Qin Hanchu's intention: "Indeed."
"What is your status in the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect?"
"Junior holds no official position in the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect, but the Sect Master of the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect is my grandfather."
The beautiful Divine Venerable had a bad feeling, which was why she brought up her grandfather to warn Qin Hanchu not to harm her.
Qin Hanchu had not expected this beautiful woman to have such an identity.
However, he was not afraid. Even if he killed this beautiful Divine Venerable, the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect would be powerless against him.
At this moment, a barrier suddenly rose around them.
This barrier was not a formation but a sealed divine artifact.
The divine artifact belonged to Qin Hanchu's subordinates; he was merely borrowing it.
Just as before, his intention was only to use this divine artifact to prevent the beautiful Divine Venerable from calling for help.
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?" The beautiful Divine Venerable quickly stood up and angrily addressed Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu took another sip of tea and then said, "The City Lord's contest in Cloud River City is very important to me. I hope you will become one of my people."
"Senior wants me to surrender?" The beautiful Divine Venerable said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing? Do you want to make an enemy of the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect?"
"Since I have already spoken these words, I naturally do not fear making an enemy of the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect."
"Think carefully about how you will choose."
"If you refuse, I can only kill you."
"But if you are willing to surrender, you will surely receive an immeasurable opportunity."
"I can even let you cultivate an ancestral-level supreme divine ability."
"You can rest assured, I will not let you oppose the Hundred Refinements Divine Sect."
Qin Hanchu's tone was very calm, as if he were discussing an insignificant matter.
The beautiful Divine Venerable sneered, "Senior, do you take me for a three-year-old? You possess ancestral-level supreme divine abilities?"
"Believe it or not."
"The choice is yours: death or a gamble for opportunity."
As Qin Hanchu spoke, a portal appeared.
Then, Divine Venerable Han Yun and others emerged, surrounding the beautiful Divine Venerable.
The beautiful Divine Venerable looked at Qin Hanchu in astonishment. She had not expected Qin Hanchu to have so many Divine Venerables with him.
"You..."
Qin Hanchu stood up and said, "Enter my main realm with them, and I will make you believe that I possess ancestral-level supreme divine abilities."
"If I go in, will I still have a chance to live?" The beautiful Divine Venerable said angrily.
"Do you still have a chance to live now? Even if you possess a Divine Emperor-level life-saving divine ability, you will have no chance to leave alive."
As he spoke, Qin Hanchu put away the tea table in front of him.
The beautiful Divine Venerable knew that Qin Hanchu was not bluffing. At this moment, she truly had no other recourse.
"Fine, I will go with you to see," the beautiful Divine Venerable said and walked towards the portal.
Under the "escort" of Divine Venerable Han Yun and the others, the beautiful Divine Venerable entered the Divine Continent Main Realm.
As the portal closed, the beautiful Divine Venerable appeared in the Divine Continent Pavilion.
"You've arrived." Inside the Divine Continent Pavilion, Qin Hanchu's second avatar opened its eyes.
"You..."
The beautiful Divine Venerable looked at the Pangu avatar in shock. She could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from this body.
"This is my avatar. The one you saw earlier was my true body," Qin Hanchu said with a smile. "By the way, my true body is only at the True God realm."
"What?"
The beautiful Divine Venerable exclaimed in shock, regretting her actions bitterly.
She realized she had been tricked by Qin Hanchu!
If she had known that Qin Hanchu's true body was only at the True God realm, she would have crushed her life-saving jade slip without hesitation.
A Divine Emperor-level life-saving jade slip could instantly tear through the divine artifact's seal, allowing her to call for help from her sect.
Even if she were still killed by Qin Hanchu, at least her sect would know who killed her.
"Since you are already here, I will show you my trump card."
"Whether you choose to gamble for an opportunity depends on your own decision."
After speaking, Qin Hanchu opened his hand.
Under the beautiful Divine Venerable's astonished gaze, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe appeared before him.
"This avatar is the physical body of the primordial ancestor Pangu, and this is the Origin Supreme Treasure, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe!"
Since the beautiful Divine Venerable could no longer escape, Qin Hanchu decided to reveal his trump card to her.
