Chapter 57: The Qin Royal Family’s Coup
“Now, listen to my command. Everyone, provide a drop of blood essence and open the Qin royal family’s altar!” Qin Keyun ordered.
Qin Pingxia immediately squeezed out a drop of blood essence, which floated towards Qin Keyun.
The other people who were kneeling on the ground hesitated for a brief moment before squeezing out their blood essence, which also floated toward the altar.
Qin Keyun raised her hand and waved it. All the blood essence gathered in her palm and formed a symbol that sank into the center of the altar.
Buzz!
Light blossomed from the altar.
A majestic phantom appeared from the altar.
Even though it was just a phantom, it gave off a powerful pressure. Everyone present felt somewhat suffocated.
Qin Keyun prostrated herself on the ground.
Qin Pingxia also prostrated herself on the ground.
All of the members of the Qin royal family were shocked when they saw the majestic phantom on the altar.
The altar was something that the Qin royal family had guarded for generations. It was rumored that the ancestor of the Qin royal family had left it behind.
However, no one knew what the altar was used for until now.
Up until now, all they knew was that cultivating around and on the altar would make it easier for one to break through bottlenecks. Their cultivation speed would be faster and their foundations would be more solid.
This was also the fundamental reason why the Qin royal family had always been stronger than the other three families.
“Keyun greets ancestor!”
Qin Keyun knelt on the ground as the phantom of a White Fox appeared behind her. She also knelt on the ground.
The majestic phantom suddenly lowered its head and looked at Keyun.
Its eyes suddenly bloomed with light.
Its spiritual will was transmitted.
“Keyun, you are finally here.”
Everyone in the Qin royal family was shocked and their hearts were burning. Could it be that the Qin royal family’s ancestor was still alive?
It was rumored that the ancestor of the Qin royal family was extremely powerful.
“Ancestor, the Qin royal family has already declined and the Qin Kingdom has long fallen. Keyun is lacking but wants to restore the power of the Qin Kingdom!” Qin Keyun said in a low voice.
The majestic phantom raised its hand and caressed Qin Keyun’s head. It seemed to be caressing the phantom of the White Fox.
Pew!
Two rays of light shot out from the majestic phantom’s eyes and entered Qin Keyun’s forehead. The majestic phantom gradually began to dissipate.
“The descendants of the Qin royal family will obey Keyun and await my return!”
The majestic phantom disappeared and a whirlpool-like hole appeared at the center of the altar.
Qin Keyun stood up and her aura fluctuated. She had actually advanced to the peak of the ninth level of the truth realm.
However, she did not break through to the Emperor realm.
She looked at the altar and said, “All of you, stand up.”
Only then did the members of the Qin royal family stand up and look at the woman on the altar. All of them had complicated expressions on their faces.
It was not hard to guess that she had some sort of relationship with the ancestor of the Qin royal family.
“The inheritance of the Qin royal family was previously lost. Just now, the ancestor passed down the inheritance to continue the glory of the Qin royal family. All of you should work hard and cultivate.”
Qin Keyun took out a blank booklet and engraved the cultivation technique on it before handing it over to Qin Pingxia.
“Recall all the experts of the Qin royal family from the Great Qian Dynasty. The Zhao, He, and Chu families are the subjects of the Qin royal family. From today onward, the Qin country will no longer be governed by the four families!”
“I will be in seclusion for a few more days. Leave the matters of the Qin royal family to my mother and a few elders. All of you may leave.”
Everyone from the Qin royal family left one after another. Qin Pingxia hesitated for a moment before saying, “Keyun, I’m afraid that the Great Qian Dynasty will not allow the experts of the Qin royal family to return.”
“It’s fine. When I come out of seclusion, the Great Qian Dynasty will have no choice but to agree.”
“You are going to break through to the Emperor realm?”
Qin Pingxia was shocked. The Southern Region did not have any Emperor-level cultivators. If Qin Keyun broke through, she would be the strongest expert in the Southern Region.
It would not be impossible for the Qin royal family to unify the Southern Region then.
“It will take some time,” Qin Keyun shook her head and said.
After Qin Pingxia left, Qin Keyun entered the passageway in the middle of the altar and arrived at a small space.
She sat down cross-legged and began to consolidate her cultivation.
The White Fox phantom appeared and the power of her soul began to spread out.
She had been reincarnated from an emperor-level demon, so it was much easier for her to recover her cultivation and break through to the Emperor realm compared to the others.
However, due to the incomplete laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region, she was unable to break through to the Emperor realm.
In this special space, she had a chance to break through to the Emperor realm. However, her accumulation was currently insufficient and she was unable to break through within such a short period of time.
There was only one way to increase her strength in a short time.
She could use the soul of the Fox Demon to create the domain power of an Emperor realm expert.
Even if it was just a fake domain, it would be enough to make her the strongest among the half-emperor cultivators in the Southern Region.
Only then would she have the right to compete with the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Qin royal family had been in decline for far too long and would not be able to match the Great Qian Empire within a short period of time. However, as long as her own strength was sufficient, she could stabilize the situation, or maybe even tip the balance. From that point on, the Qin royal family’s foundation would be activated and their strength would increase rapidly.
The Zhao, He, and Chu families had all been subordinate families of the Qin royal family’s ancestors, so they should also be in possession of their ancestor’s foundation. However, they did not know how to activate it.
Qin Keyun had already decided that the Qin Kingdom had to be unified, ending the situation where the four families ruled together and allowing the Qin royal family to activate the foundations of the other three families. The overall strength of the Qin Kingdom would then increase by leaps and bounds within a short period of time.
If the other three families did not comply and continued to insist on being independent aristocratic families, then they could not blame her for being ruthless.
No one knew what had happened to the Qin royal family.
Even the Black Moon Tower only knew that there had been a change in the Qin royal family. They could not find out the specific details.
Chu Xuan did not care about the changes happening in the Qin royal family. No matter how much it changed, it would not affect him.
Currently, he was still the strongest cultivator in the Southern Region.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was looking at a piece of information regarding the Qin royal family from the Black Moon Tower.
The Qin family had sent people to the Great Qian Dynasty to summon the experts of the Qin royal family back.
The Great Qian Dynasty was the ruler of the southern kingdoms.
It was also the strongest force that stood against the evil imperial court.
They would not relax their control over the subordinate kingdoms.
The unity realm experts from the subordinate kingdoms had to go to the Great Qian Dynasty to await orders. They were not allowed to leave the Great Qian Dynasty without permission.
This was also the reason why the Chu family had existed for so long without a unity realm expert.
Anyone who broke through to the unity realm had to report to the Great Qian Dynasty. Otherwise, they would be suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty if they were discovered to have been hiding a unity realm expert.
The Qin family was the royal family, so they allowed a unity realm expert to stay behind.
The evil imperial court also restricted heretic cultivators in a similar manner, so it was very difficult to find unity realm heretic cultivators outside the evil imperial court. The two sides were actually concentrating their forces and fighting against each other.
It would probably be difficult for the Qin royal family to summon their experts back from the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if they had some valid excuses, the Great Qian Dynasty would at most allow one to return.
In truth, everyone knew that unity realm experts sent to the Great Qian Dynasty would easily be used as cannon fodder in battles against the evil imperial court.
However, the Great Qian Dynasty was so powerful that no one dared to go against it.
“There’s going to be a good show to watch.”
Chu Xuan was curious where the Qin royal family had found the confidence to challenge the Great Qian Dynasty.
The situation of the Qin Kingdom being ruled by the four families was probably about to come to an end.
“Sir, I’m about to break through.”
Su Xian’er’s aura surged. She was about to break through to the unity realm.
“Go ahead.”
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
After Su Xian’er obtained the Grand Moon Immortal Spell, she had spent quite a bit of time consolidating her foundation. Otherwise, she would have broken through to the unity realm long ago.
One day later, Su Xian’er successfully broke through to the unity realm.
Chu Xuan was reading the report from the Black Moon Tower when the system’s notification appeared.
“Your maid, Su Xian’er, has broken through under your superb training and guidance. You have been rewarded with ten years’ worth of cultivation!”
Su Xian’er had broken through, and the system had rewarded him for her cultivation increase?
Chu Xuan was overjoyed and immediately received the reward.
After that, his strength improved yet again, but not to the point where he reached the Supreme realm.
Chu Xuan was not surprised. Ten years of cultivation was in no way sufficient to break through the bottleneck.
However, he had now found a new way to quickly increase his strength.
