In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 431 [In fact, I have long been a member of the ancient clan]

With the invitation of several ancient royal families, not many people in the world dare to go to the Taichu Ancient Mine. After entering the ancient mine, there are only a handful of creatures who can be received by the ancient emperor.

There are several major life forbidden zones, where not only the ancient emperors are dormant, but also their divine generals, mounts, and valued subordinates. If one wants to see the Supreme, one must pass the level of the Ancestral King, or even the Quasi-Emperor of the forbidden zone.

Lin Xian’s first stop was to Huolin Cave. This clan was extremely special. The Ancient Qilin Emperor was preparing for the first immortal road in Beidou, which would be opened in more than a hundred years. Now he was probably in a half-asleep state, and was the person on duty at the Taichu Ancient Mine.

"Lin Sheng, please come in."

The ancestor king of the Qilin clan was very sincere, without any airs of an ancient royal family. He led Lin Xian forward and into the heart of the Huo Lin Cave. Inside was a fairyland with burning fairy fires, lingering clouds and mist, and the fragrance of ancient medicine that had been there for thousands of years.

Two ancient princes' descendants had been waiting for a long time. Huo Lin'er stood up to greet them. Her blue hair was as soft as silk and fell to her waist. A emerald green jade hairpin was inserted on her azure hair, which was crystal clear. There was a slender string of beads on the head of the hairpin, with a small purple unicorn hanging on it, which was lifelike, just like a unicorn magic medicine, making her jade-like cheeks look even whiter. Her smile was brilliant, and she looked like a fairy.

In addition, there is a man with the same blue hair, his name is Huo Qizi.

"Master Lin, who founded the Heavenly Palace Sect, has astonishing spiritual accomplishments and a graceful demeanor, far surpassing our peers, and achieved sainthood one step ahead of others."

The Fire Kirin girl smiled and said, "The one who is accomplished comes first. Brother Dao can be said to be the best of the contemporary generation."

Huo Qizi also nodded. Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that even an ancient prince could not ignore the barrier of the Holy Path.

"Qilin son, Qilin daughter, you two are too modest." Lin Xian sighed and said meaningfully: "Among the seven royal families, Huolin Cave may not be the first in terms of strength, but it has unlimited potential and a promising future."

The bloodline of the ancient emperor is not just talk. The bloodline that can be sealed by the ancient emperor and preserved in this life is recognized by the ancient emperor and has the hope of surpassing himself and becoming an emperor and immortal.

Like the Huangxu Dao of the Blood Phoenix Mountain, just like the Holy Prince of the Fighting Clan, even if they cannot become emperors, they can still achieve enlightenment in another way and step into the threshold of the Supreme.

There is basically only one such prince in a family, and he carries the hope of the ancient emperor. However, Huolin Cave has a pair of brothers and sisters. What a concept! In another thousand or two thousand years, they will be the real second supreme being in the family!

"Potential is only potential after all. In today's world, strength is the most important thing." The Fire Kirin girl sighed softly: "The most glorious days of the royal family have long passed. Now is not the era of my Qilin clan. I still need to rely on my brother's help."

"Have times changed? I don't think so."

Lin Xian said calmly, "You two have been wandering in the Taichu Ancient Mine for many years. It is not a secret among the ancient myriad races. What kind of people live in the Life Forbidden Zone is concealed from others, but for people like us, it is still unclear."

The two ancient princes were stunned. They didn't expect Lin Xian to be so direct and speak frankly.

In this case, they did not hide it. Huo Qizi raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Based on your qualifications, I wonder which emperor or prince you are from?"

The ancient myriad races have spies among the human race to collect intelligence, so they naturally would not miss out on Lin Xian, a prominent figure.

After carefully observing Lin Xian's resume, even the ancient royal family was puzzled. It was not that Lin Xian had no background, but that his background was too big. He could be related to the Ji family, the Jiang family, the Yao Chi, the demon clan, and even the Zhongzhou Dynasty, the Beiyuan Chaos, the Nanling Emperor, the Ximo Buddhism, and even the ancient royal family.

Previously, Huo Lin Cave thought that Lin Xian was a son of a human emperor. However, after Wanlongchao became the leader of the ancient clan and revealed that Lin Xian had the blood of a true dragon and they wanted to form an alliance, Huo Lin Cave became confused again.

"In fact, I am both the son of the Wind Clan and the True Dragon Prince."

"The Great Emperor Fuxi was a true dragon from the Immortal Realm who descended to the mortal world. After the Saint Emperor of Fighting and War passed away, he attained enlightenment and became an emperor. He then combined with the human Queen Nuwa and multiplied, thus giving rise to our Feng Clan."

Lin Xian was talking nonsense in a serious manner. Relying on the gap in ancient history, Huolin Cave sealed itself off at the end of the ancient times. He didn't know anything about the ancient history, so he started to talk nonsense: "Actually, I am also a member of the ancient clan."

As he spoke, Lin Xian transformed into a Dharma image, meeting him in the form of a human head and a dragon body.

The two descendants of the ancient emperor looked at each other, their eyes full of horror. This was not as simple as two emperors in one family, but two emperors in one family, and it also involved the fairyland. It was simply mysterious.

It can be called a replica of the early ancient times. One is that the Phoenix from the Fairyland opened up the ancient era, and the other is that the True Dragon from the Fairyland created the ancient era.

No wonder the high and mighty Wanlong Nest was willing to lower its posture and try to win over a human race.

He is not a human at all, but a real dragon!
"Brother Dao is actually of the Immortal Realm bloodline, no wonder you were able to attain sainthood at such a young age." The Fire Lin Girl looked solemn and asked tentatively, "I wonder what your opinion is on the path to becoming an immortal."

Lin Xian smiled calmly and held up three fingers: "Two or three people become immortals in one lifetime."

Rumble! Before he even finished speaking, although it did not cause any earth-shattering vision, it was like a huge rock falling into a lake, causing enormous waves in the heart of the ancient emperor's descendants.

The royal families had expected that there would be places on the road to becoming immortals, but the places were so scarce that it was beyond everyone's imagination.

Everyone has always believed that the road to becoming an immortal is hindered by time. As long as one rushes in the moment the road opens, no matter how many people there are, as long as one seizes that moment, one can become an immortal.

But the cruelty of reality is beyond everyone's imagination.

"My two fellow Taoists, the Ancient Qilin Emperor is indeed in the Life Forbidden Zone, and intends to fight for the immortal path in this life."

"And I happen to know some secrets of the immortal path."

Lin Xian smiled and whispered like a devil: "You don't want to see the Qilin Ancient Emperor fail in his fight for the Immortal Path, right? As the ancient princes, you should know the consequences of rushing out of the Divine Source and cutting yourself with a knife."

At that moment, Huo Qizi had an impulse to use the Qilin Staff, the supreme imperial weapon, to capture Lin Xian and force him to tell him the secret of the road to immortality.

"Brother..." The Fire Girl gave Huo Qilin a look that calmed Huo Qilin down. Not to mention the terrifying power of the Heavenly Court and the possible subsequent retaliation, just looking at the current situation, it was Lin Xian who took them down, not them who took down Lin Xian.

In order to show their sincerity, all the ancestral kings of Huolin Cave stayed outside and did not come in, but Lin Xian was a real saint.

Moreover, they had a vague premonition that Lin Xian definitely had something that could compete with the Qilin Staff.

"Who would go to a meeting these days without bringing an imperial soldier?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly, and loosened his palm. One of the stone tablets with flowing fairy light became faintly visible, emitting imperial power, causing the fairyland to shake continuously. All the ancestral kings were horrified. Chaotic aura flowed, and majestic divine light burst out from the thirteen ancient caves!
One Saint King after another stepped out of the cave, including some Heavenly Kings, who were only one step away from becoming a Great Saint. There were thirteen of them in total. This was the weight of a royal family.

"Stop it all!"

Huo Qilin shouted loudly, scolding the Saint King of the Qilin Clan, and then they retreated and said solemnly: "I had a very pleasant conversation with Saint Lin. We were just discussing the Great Dao. Don't disturb the distinguished guest."

The Qilin clan's Saint Kings looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make any move, fearing that Lin Xian would kidnap the two ancient emperors' heirs, and then they would be the eternal sinners of the Qilin clan. Just as they were hesitating, a majestic voice sounded.

"Everyone, please withdraw and follow the prince's orders."

The Great Saint Yan Qi of Huolin Cave came forward in person. He had a very high prestige and was a person of a very special identity. He was not a cultivator from the end of the ancient times, but was much older. He was a giant during the revival of Huolin Cave. He was conferred the source of gods and awakened in this life.

Different from great saints like Qianlun and Hunduo, Great Saint Yanqi is a person of profound background and the protector of the ancient prince. His perspective on thinking is completely different from that of people of today.

"Saint of the human race, what do you want to do?"

The Great Sage Yanqi had an indifferent expression and deep blue eyes. He held the blue-gold staff in his hand, ready to strike. However, he did not step forward, but stood at a distance to maintain a balanced situation.

"Give me the ancient emperor's order of the Qilin clan." Lin Xian said calmly: "Invite the ancient prince to enter the heaven to show your sincerity."

Every ancient emperor has a completely different attitude towards family affection. For example, Changsheng Tianzun gave up everything in order to become an immortal. Even if his own children tried to stop him from becoming an immortal, he would probably kill them without mercy.

There is also an ancient Qilin Emperor who values ​​family affection. He not only wants to become an immortal himself, but also wants to carve out a path to immortality for his children.

It was the difference in concepts that gave Lin Xian an opportunity.

He can use the Ancient Qilin Emperor to threaten the Qilin Twins, and he can also use the Qilin Twins to threaten the Ancient Qilin Emperor.

"You are making the prince a proton!"

The Great Sage Yanqi did not expect that Lin Xian would dare to make such a condition, and he was immediately furious. At this moment, the Qilin Staff made of eternal blue gold burst into immortal light, dazzling and brilliant. At the end of the staff was a Qilin head, lifelike, and emitting overwhelming imperial power, as if the former supreme being had been resurrected.

"The Heavenly Court will also send an emperor's son to live in Huolin Cave to show its sincerity."

Lin Xian smiled slightly. Instead of sending protons, they exchanged protons. This was a completely different plan.

The Qilin Emperor's might solidified in an instant, and then faded away like the tide. The eyes of the Great Sage Yan Qi were deep, and he sensed the sincerity of the Heavenly Court. However, he did not dare to make the decision on his own about sending away the ancient princes. He could only look at the Qilin twins and said thoughtfully: "If your two highnesses are unwilling, I will refuse immediately. Since the ancestor emperor, my Qilin lineage has never had the rule of selling people."

"I'll go." Huo Qizi made the decision without even thinking about it. As a brother, how could he let his sister be a hostage?

"Wait, I want to ask Saint Lin, who is the emperor's son sent by the Heavenly Court?" The Fire Scale Girl was very careful, narrowed her eyes, looked at Lin Xian, and asked suspiciously: "It can't be Saint Lin himself."

"Of course not." Lin Xian laughed, bowed towards Tianxuan Holy Land and said, "It's my Majesty, the current Lord of Heaven, Emperor Ye!"

"What! Lord of Heaven?!"

In an instant, both the ancient prince and the great sage of the Qilin clan were stunned. Throughout history, they had only heard of hostages, but never heard of emperors being held hostage.

The Lord of Heaven came personally to exchange, which was really sincere.

"I never thought there would be such a great man in this world." Great Sage Yan Qi exclaimed: "Ye Fan is a man of great courage and is worthy of the title of Emperor."

"Yes, our Emperor Ye is like this." Lin Xian nodded seriously, and then proposed a small condition. Our Emperor Ye attaches great importance to family affection. She has a younger sister who is still young and cannot leave her brother, so she needs to come and accompany him.

"Sister?" Great Sage Yan Qi instantly became alert and asked, "What cultivation level?"

"She's just a three-year-old girl." Lin Xian laughed, saying that her little girl was harmless, a well-behaved and cute little girl, and had no lethality.

"Three years old." Everyone in Huolin Cave breathed a sigh of relief. What can a three-year-old child do? Maybe he hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation yet.

The Great Sage Yanqi agreed with a smile. It was not until many years later, when he faced the defeated Supreme Qitian, that he recalled that bright and sunny afternoon and his suicidal act of inviting a human emperor back to the Qilin clan's lair. He wished he could slap himself twice more.

The Lord of Heaven and his weak and pitiful sister were taken as hostages, which showed the sincerity of Heaven. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Qizi was about to take action but was stopped by his sister.

"No, I'm going to heaven."

After thinking for a moment, the Fire Girl said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Brother, your aptitude is better than mine, and you have a better chance of achieving enlightenment. I will go in your place."

"No, this is absolutely not okay."

Huo Qizi refused outright. No one with a sister complex would make such a choice.

The azure eyes of the Fire Scale Girl sparkled with wisdom. She stood up suddenly, looked down at her brother, and said in a deep voice, "This is not the time to be calculating. Considering the overall situation of the race, it is more in the interest of the Fire Scale Cave to decide who goes to Heaven as a proton."

"I don't agree!" Huo Qizi roared, with flames almost spitting out of his eyes.

"Opposition is useless." The Fire Kirin girl said calmly, with a demeanor that commanded the world. She looked at the Great Sage Yan Qi and said, "If my brother makes any unusual moves, please suppress him, Great Sage."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Great Sage Yanqi nodded, put aside his emotions, and looked at it from the most fair point of view. Naturally, it would be more cost-effective to send away the Fire Kirin girl and keep the Fire Kirin boy who had more potential.

He is the great sage of the Qilin clan and must look at issues from the perspective of the entire race.

Moreover, Heaven has sent its Lord to exchange hostages, which shows its sincerity. There will most likely be no problem with this operation.

"Don't worry. I heard that there are seeds of the Qilin magic medicine in the Heavenly Palace. That is a lost divine object of our clan in the past. The Qilin Cave has formed an alliance with the Heavenly Palace. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to observe it."

Huo Lin'er was smiling widely, very optimistic, and his smile was bright.

"Of course." Lin Xian nodded. The Heavenly Court wanted to form an alliance with the Ancient Qilin Emperor, not to make enemies. There was no need to quibble over trivial matters. He also painted a big picture and said, "One day, the Heavenly Court and the Qilin Clan will embark on the immortal path together and share the elixir of immortality. The Qilin elixir matures once every four to five thousand years. With your lifespans, you can wait until then."

When these words were spoken, everyone in Qilin Cave smiled freely. They did not expect to receive empty promises. Who could predict what would happen four or five thousand years later?

If five thousand years later, the Heavenly Court is in decline and the Qilin clan has two supreme masters, then no one will be able to snatch the Qilin magic medicine away from them.
