Chapter 398 - 398: Supreme Immortal Emperor
Over the years, he had obtained many opportunities. Among them were some great killing weapons that even Saint Realm experts would likely change color upon seeing.
When it came down to a life-or-death battle, it was hard to say whether he or Qin Yuan would prevail.
At the same time, in the Shadowless Hall, on a divine peak, the spiritual energy permeated the area, and the mist swirled, creating a scene reminiscent of a celestial paradise. Looking around, everywhere was filled with divine radiance, creating a dazzling spectacle.
On the mountain peak, a white-robed young man sat at a stone table. Opposite him was a gray-robed man. His hair was loose and floated in the air. Dao runes circulated with his every movement.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, have you considered my proposal?” The man in gray smiled and spoke casually, “If you cooperate with me, ten days later, when you attack and kill Qin Hao, I will handle Su Chen for you! I believe no one in the entire East Barrens could be this sincere.”
Even having just arrived in the East Barrens, the man in gray had heard of Su Chen’s reputation. This was a testament to Su Chen’s influence.
Even with the Qin family’s deep foundation, they did not want to oppose Su Chen now. There were two reasons for this.
Firstly, there were internal issues in the Qin family.
Secondly, Su Chen’s background was far too complicated, and provoking him alone could implicate countless forces. If that happened, even the Qin family would likely find themselves in trouble.
With these complicated relationships, in the eyes of many, although the odds were high for Qin Yuan to win a battle against Qin Hao, the likelihood of him daring to kill Qin Hao was extremely low. After all, one had to consider the bigger picture beyond just an individual.
If Qin Yuan killed Qin Hao, Su Chen’s retaliation would surely follow. Qin Yuan would have to think carefully about that.
With Su Chen’s strength, killing Qin Yuan was probably no harder than crushing an ant. However, if Qin Yuan did not kill Qin Hao, his own goals would be stymied.
Therefore, over the past few days, Qin Yuan had spent much effort trying to come up with a method to deal with Qin Hao, which led to today’s meeting.
“Why do you want to cooperate with me?” Qin Yuan asked.
It was not hard for him to see the other party had a powerful background. It was highly likely that he was not someone from the present era!
After all, many had taken note of the recent changes in the Southern Region. Especially with Long Wu appearing by Su Chen’s side, some ancient secrets had been revealed to the world. Innumerable ancient forces of the Southern Region had re-emerged in the mortal realm.
Of course, it was also possible such forces had appeared in the East Barrens, only they had not appeared publicly. If all these people fully emerged, it might make people feel they were back in ancient times!
If the man before him really came from ancient times, then he must have some purpose for cooperating now. Qin Yuan did not believe anyone would help him without reason. Especially against someone like Su Chen!
Not to mention the distant past, just looking at the present, Su Chen had already reached the Saint Realm. Who would dare to offend another potential Saint Realm powerhouse just to help a young prodigy in the Nirvana Realm?
Qin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, displaying a composed demeanor. His gaze, like a galaxy, sparkled, and his pupils flickered as if the sun and moon were rising and setting. Within them, a sense of chaos permeated, as if attempting to see through the person in front of him.
But unfortunately…the result was disappointing.
The man before him did not appear very old, but his actual cultivation was unfathomable. At the very least he was not in the Nirvana Realm, possibly in the Quasi-Saint Realm or the Saint Realm, definitely not something Qin Yuan could see through.
“My goal is quite simple. I am looking for a Longevity Immortal Body in this world!” The gray-robed man continued with a nostalgic look on his face, “In ancient times, a mighty being, with unparalleled cultivation, reversed the universe and glimpsed a corner of the river of time. He once predicted that the present era would be a turning point. Simultaneously, it would also be a rare golden age, with the birth of supreme immortal emperors, among them, a Longevity Immortal! Since my appearance, I have been following the orders of my master, spanning many ancient domains. However, only one Longevity Immortal body has been found, and that person is you!
After arriving in the East Barrens, he had already grasped Qin Yuan’s information very clearly. Although his Longevity Immortal Body was a transplantation, it was still a Longevity Immortal Body.
As for Qin Hao, in the eyes of the man in gray, he no longer held any value. Without the Longevity Immortal Body, Qin Hao was basically useless. This had already been proven in his era.
From ancient times until now, he had never heard of someone recovering after losing their Longevity Immortal Bodies. Therefore, he had almost firmly believed the Longevity Immortal Body mentioned by that powerful figure definitely referred to Qin Yuan!
One had to understand that was an immortal emperor! Immortal emperors and great emperors were already beings of different dimensions. In the Immortal Realm, there might not even be any living immortal emperors! As for the mortal realms, they might not have even heard of the term immortal emperor. Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in the depths of the gray-robed man’s eyes.
In his view, after so many years, the current world had simply deteriorated tremendously. In their time, there had still been true immortals, yet now, they could not even see a great emperor.
If not for his master’s orders, and Qin Yuan having some talent, he would be too lazy to walk this world.
“Master?” Qin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He wasn’t interested in what the man in the gray robe referred to as the supreme immortal emperor because such matters seemed too distant. However, he was slightly surprised by the mention of the man’s master. He had initially thought the man might be a prominent figure from some major power. Never did he expect that he was just a servant!
“That’s right!” The gray-robed man nodded proudly and said, “My master was also a top figure in ancient times. With your current strength, you are not yet worthy to meet my master.”
“Haha…” Qin Yuan chuckled, completely unconcerned.
In comparison to the man’s master, the only advantage was that he lived in ancient times. If they were to compete in the same era, Qin Yuan was confident that he wouldn’t be inferior to anyone! After all, it was widely recognized that spiritual energy was more abundant in ancient times!
“Are you really confident you can stop Su Chen?” Qin Yuan casually asked.
“Naturally,” the gray-robed man replied arrogantly. “He is just a saint. In the East Barrens, he may be considered a top figure, but to us, he could be easily suppressed!”
“Is that so?” Qin Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and sank into thought.
Even the current Qin family wouldn’t dare to make a hasty conclusion.. However, the gray-robed man in front of him seemed very confident! Either the man was not thinking clearly, or he had some level of assurance!
