Chapter 314: The Great Emperor's Reincarnation

Chapter 314: The Great Emperor's Reincarnation

January 8th, 2025

"So, this is the head of the Gu family, I presume. I am Qin Zhentian!"

Within the Imperial City of the Qin Dynasty, as the phenomenon of the Great Emperor's reincarnation vanished, Gu Qingfeng and Qin Ruofeng entered the city, only to see an elderly man in black robes leading a group of people approaching them.

Gu Qingfeng politely cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings to the head of the Qin family!"

The Qin Zhentian before them appeared aged, but his vital energy was robust, far surpassing the other Demi-Saints that Gu Qingfeng had encountered.

It was evident that his strength was extraordinary.

However, Gu Qingfeng quickly understood the situation.

The descendant of the Great Emperor!

The head of the Ancient Qin Clan!

These two factors alone were enough to grant Qin Zhentian an astonishing foundation.

This was something that others could not even dream of achieving.

"With the Gu family head's arrival, I believe dealing with the evil presence in Ancient Moon Province will be as easy as turning your hand!"

Qin Zhentian's face was filled with a smile, as if he and Gu Qingfeng were longtime friends. This warm attitude left the other members of the Qin family in awe.

After all, Qin Zhentian, as the head of the Ancient Qin Clan, had always been stern and domineering. It was rare to see him in such a friendly mood.

But upon further thought, they understood.

If it were an ordinary person, Qin Zhentian would not have shown such warmth.

But the man before them was renowned as the strongest in the Late-stage Era, with strength comparable to the ancient Great Sage and even the Sage King.

Even with the status of the Ancient Qin Clan, facing such an existence warranted extra courtesy.

After all—

For someone to reach this level in the Late-stage Era was impressive. If the Great Strife Era were to arrive, further advancement would be even more effortless.

At this moment, the two exchanged greetings.

Qin Zhentian personally led Gu Qingfeng to temporarily stay in the Imperial City of the Qin Dynasty.

The entire Imperial City belonged to the Ancient Qin Clan.

Unless invited by the Ancient Qin Clan, outsiders had no right to enter the Imperial City.

To put it bluntly, this Imperial City was the heart of the Ancient Qin Clan.

...

Inside the temporary mansion.

Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, reflecting on what he had seen and heard about the Ancient Qin Clan, gaining a deeper understanding of their profound foundation.

"The Ancient Noble Families have extraordinary foundations and countless powerful cultivators!"

"The scene before me is just a glimpse of the many Ancient Noble Families. It's evident that these ancient forces, developed over countless years, possess astonishing foundations!"

Ever since entering the Imperial City of the Qin Dynasty.

The top-tier Dao Palace Realm cultivators from the outside world, while not as numerous as grains of rice, were still abundant.

Even Demi-Saint Realm cultivators were present.

Within Gu Qingfeng's perception, there were no fewer than a hundred of them.

Not to mention.

The hidden powerhouses in the shadows, who had never revealed their true strength.

In the current Late-stage Era, Demi-Saint Realm cultivators were the pinnacle.

Even in powerful factions like the Celestial Void Holy Land and the Guiyuan Imperial Dynasty, the number of Demi-Saints could be counted on one hand.

Even so.

These two factions still held a significant position.

However, when compared to the Ancient Qin Clan, the difference was clear as day and night.

"Over ten thousand Dao Palace Realm cultivators!"

"Over a hundred Demi-Saints!"

"This is the foundation of the Ancient Noble Families!"

"For the Divine Martial Imperial Dynasty to grow and compare with such forces, the road ahead is long and arduous!"

Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head, and this trip had indeed broadened his horizons.

However.

Such power.

Did not make Gu Qingfeng feel threatened.

After all, even with numerous Demi-Saints, they were no different from ants in front of him.

The only thing that gave Gu Qingfeng pause was the ancient and slumbering powerhouses of the Ancient Qin Clan.

Gu Qingfeng believed.

The Ancient Qin Clan must have slumbering Great Sages and Sage Kings.

Even the existence of Near-Emperor Realm cultivators was not out of the question.

Such a profound foundation could not be measured by common sense.

As this thought settled.

Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and meditated, silently comprehending the Nine Heavens Scripture.

Even though the current heavenly restrictions hindered the advancement of Saints and above, it did not hinder Gu Qingfeng's comprehension of the Nine Heavens Scripture.

When the Great Strife Era arrives, his accumulated strength will naturally manifest.

Cultivation!

Is a gradual process of accumulation!

Although most of Gu Qingfeng's cultivation was due to Enhancement Points, it did not hinder his self-cultivation.

Ancient Qin Clan.

Inside the grand hall.

The high-ranking members of the Qin family gathered.

Qin Zhentian's face was now devoid of smiles, and his expression returned to its usual solemnity.

"Ruofeng, what do you think of that person?"

Upon hearing this.

Qin Ruofeng, who was below, pondered for a while before giving a word-by-word response.

"Unfathomable!"

This.

This is Qin Ruofeng's response.

Ever since meeting Gu Qingfeng, Qin Ruofeng had felt this way.

After speaking, Qin Ruofeng added, "The moment that person arrived in Qin Imperial City, an Emperor Phantom appeared. I suspect that this unusual phenomenon in the city is very likely related to him!"

This speculation was not without basis for Qin Ruofeng.

Upon hearing this, the other high-ranking members of the Qin family showed slight changes in their expressions, but there wasn't much surprise.

It was clear that they had also guessed something.

Qin Zhentian spoke in a deep voice, "Only future emperors can attract an Emperor Phantom. As for Gu Qingfeng, rumors say he is merely a hundred years old. Not only has he reached the peak of the Demi-Sage Realm, but his strength is also comparable to a Sage King."

Such a demon prodigy had never existed throughout history.

Even the Qin Emperor, at this age, had much to learn from him!"

"If this person is indeed a future emperor, it is undoubtedly true!"

Thinking about how the Ancient Qin Family had investigated Gu Qingfeng, Qin Zhentian was deeply shocked.

If it weren't for the certainty that the Ancient Qin Family's intelligence was accurate, Qin Zhentian would have almost doubted that someone was feeding him false information.

At this moment, an elder of the Qin family couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he is only a hundred years old?"

"Indeed!" Qin Zhentian nodded.

"I had some doubts myself, but after meeting him today, his bone age is easily discernible. He is at most a hundred years old!"

Upon hearing this, the numerous high-ranking members of the Qin family in the grand hall were momentarily speechless.

A hundred years old!

Demi-Sage!

If it were just this, they could barely accept it.

After all, some true divine body demon prodigies or those with special bloodlines, given the right opportunities, could hope to achieve such a level.

Take Qin Ruofeng, for example.

He was only in his sixties, yet his cultivation had already reached the Sixth Level Dao Palace Realm.

If the Ancient Qin Family invested more resources, it wouldn't be impossible for him to enter the Demi-Sage Realm before the age of a hundred.

For others, breaking through to the Demi-Sage Realm required exceptional talent and opportunities.

However, for the ancient aristocratic families, producing a Demi-Sage was not a difficult task.

After all, the ancient families had deep foundations, and even a small amount of their resources could nurture a Demi-Sage.

But such Demi-Sages had limited combat power.

They were essentially the weakest in their respective realms.

Forget about comparing with Sage Kings.

Even in front of Sages, they were no different from ants.

Therefore, what truly shocked the Ancient Qin Family was not that Gu Qingfeng was a hundred-year-old Demi-Sage, but that he possessed combat power on par with the Sage King Realm while in the Demi-Sage Realm.

Qin Zhentian spoke in a deep voice, "The ancient aristocratic families have records of some ancient emperors who possessed the means of reincarnation and rebirth, attempting to make up for the deficiencies of their previous lives and then ascending to immortality in their second lives!"

"These reincarnated emperors are innately invincible in combat, and it's effortless for them to fight across realms."

"Given his extraordinary abilities, I suspect he is a reincarnated emperor!"

A reincarnated emperor!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "Could it be true that there are reincarnated emperors?"

"Of course!" Qin Zhentian nodded.

"Among the emperors of the ancient times, there were those who were reincarnated emperors, successfully living a second life and reaching the pinnacle.

During the ancient times in Zhongzhou, there was a Xuan Emperor who was said to be a reincarnated emperor. In his second life, he not only reached the emperor realm but also achieved an unprecedented peak that few could match.

Later, when the immortal sect opened, Xuan Emperor entered and became the only immortal in the ancient times of Zhongzhou."

"Could there truly be immortals in this world?"

Everyone's faces showed disbelief.

Immortals!

It was all too ethereal.

Even though the history of the Ancient Qin Family recorded legends of immortals, their existence still puzzled everyone.

Qin Zhentian shook his head, "Whether there are truly immortals, no one knows for sure. But it's undeniable that in the ancient records, Xuan Emperor did enter the immortal sect and ascend to the higher realm.

As for whether this record is true or false, and whether the so-called higher realm is the rumored immortal realm, no one can tell."

At this point, Qin Zhentian also sighed softly.

The existence of immortals!

It was too distant for him.

Even for the emperors of the past, not all of them could ascend to the higher realm.

At least, in the records of the Ancient Qin Family, the number of emperors who truly ascended could be counted on one hand.

However, any ascended emperor was an invincible existence in their time.

Even among the generations of Great Emperors, he was considered one of the best.

"If Gu Qingfeng is truly the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, who knows, he might become the second Xuan Emperor in the future."

"If our Qin family can establish a good relationship with him, the benefits will far outweigh the drawbacks!"

A sharp light flashed in Qin Zhantian's eyes.

The reason for his enthusiasm towards Gu Qingfeng was that he suspected the latter to be the reincarnation of a Great Emperor.

To put it another way, even if Gu Qingfeng wasn't the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, with his talents, achieving the path of becoming an Emperor in the future wouldn't be an issue.

For the Qin family, befriending a future Great Emperor would bring countless benefits without any harm.

Despite the Ancient Qin Family's profound heritage, no Great Emperor had emerged since the ancient times.

Even with a profound heritage, it would eventually be exhausted one day.

The reason why many ancient families, including those from the primordial times, had endured was not only because of their deep heritage but also because they understood the importance of keeping up with the times and investing in Celestial Prodigies.

If these prodigies succeeded, they would undoubtedly bring benefits in return.

Conversely, if the investment failed, it wouldn't be a significant loss.

After all, as the saying goes, ancient families have profound heritages, and losing some resources is understandable.

At this moment, the Great Elder of the Qin family spoke, "I've heard that the head of the Gu family has only one official wife. For such a powerful cultivator, having three wives and four concubines is quite normal. Why don't we find a talented young lady from our family and offer her to the head of the Gu family as a wife?"

"If this succeeds, our Ancient Qin Family will be connected to the Gu family through marriage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others' faces lit up with joy.

"The Great Elder's words are wise!"

"I have a great-granddaughter who is only twenty-eight this year. Not only is she beautiful beyond compare, but she also has excellent talent. She would be a suitable match!"

"Don't be ridiculous! If the head of the Gu family thinks we're insulting him, it'll be a big problem!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you think I mean?"

"I think you're itching for a fight. Why don't you go out and practice?"

"Who's afraid of whom?"

The hall suddenly became noisy, with several people arguing, their faces red and necks thick, as if they were about to come to blows at any moment.

Qin Ruofeng kept his head down, considering himself invisible. He had no intention of getting involved.

He was just a junior in the Qin family, and everyone present was like a grand ancestor to him.

Even though their cultivation realms were similar, Qin Ruofeng dared not overstep his bounds.

"Enough!" Qin Zhantian's angry shout immediately quieted the noisy hall.

After glancing at everyone, Qin Zhantian spoke, "I have my own plans for this matter. You don't need to argue anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone muttered discontentedly, "It seems the family head wants to keep all the benefits for himself!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhantian's eyes turned cold, and a smile appeared on his face.

But this smile looked rather chilly.

"So, the Sixth Elder wants to spar with me?"

"I was just joking..."

The Sixth Elder of the Qin family trembled, his face turning awkward.

As a Half Saint, he was well aware of Qin Zhantian's formidable strength.

Otherwise, Qin Zhantian wouldn't have been qualified to sit in the position of the Qin family head.

In the entire Qin Imperial City, every Half Saint within the Qin family's upper echelon, without exception, was no match for Qin Zhantian.

The strength of the Qin family head was such that even facing a Sage might not be much of a challenge.

While the Qin family was arguing, Gu Qingfeng was unaware of their discussion.

However, the next day, Qin Zhantian visited and brought a woman with him.

According to Qin Zhantian, the woman was a direct descendant of the Qin family named Qin Qingran.

She was barely in her twenties, and her cultivation had already entered the Divine Transformation Realm, indicating exceptional talent.

"Since the head of the Gu family has just arrived, it might be inconvenient for him to be alone. Qin Qingran is a direct descendant of our Qin family with excellent talent. She can stay by the head of the Gu family's side and serve him."

"The Qin family head is too kind. Gu has been used to living alone, and I'm not familiar with the concept of being served."

Gu Qingfeng glanced at Qin Qingran and shook his head.

Undoubtedly, Qin Qingran was indeed very beautiful.

Not only did she have a delicate and stunning appearance, but her figure was also captivating. Moreover, her demeanor always carried a cold and frosty aura, as if warning others to keep their distance. This gave her a unique charm.

Compared to the former Xu Yulan, Qin Qingran was undoubtedly on a different level.

However—

Gu Qingfeng's heart remained unmoved by this.

At his level, he viewed beauties like white bones, and it was impossible for him to be swayed by mere physical allure.
