Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 683 The Arrival of the Qin Emperor
"If you would choose to have Qin Yu repair an array or for me to advance to the Half-Saint Realm, what would you choose?"

Bai Huan sneered, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

The moment the Third Elder opened his mouth, he felt a cold gaze fall upon him. He immediately realized what was happening, shrugged, and shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the other elders hesitated to speak.

They're no fools to have risen to the position of clan elder.

This is practically a death trap!
However, for cultivators who follow the path of divine cultivation, wouldn't it be against their conscience to ask them to answer against their will?
This is... a bit too much to ask.

"Bai Lan, you speak."

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Bai Huan shuddered and finally looked at the Bai family patriarch.

"what?"

Bai Lan raised her head blankly and saw a group of elders looking at her with sympathy.

Seriously, I got shot even while sitting down!
How did this pot inexplicably fall on my head?

"Elder Huan is joking. You have already advanced to the Half-Saint Realm, so what choice do you have?"

Facing the Supreme Elder's menacing gaze, Bai Lan took a deep breath, gave a dry laugh, and said.

"He! He!"

Bai Huan's voice was dry and hoarse: "So, if you had a choice, you would rather I hadn't broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, right?"

Bai Lan looked completely innocent.

I didn't say that; you said it yourself.

The other elders silently shifted their gazes. Compared to a clan-protecting formation that could withstand attacks from Venerables, a half-Venerable Realm expert who was dispensable and even somewhat useless was a better choice. Even a fool would know which to choose.

If a powerful enemy were to arrive, would we really expect the Supreme Elder to go out and meet them?
A newly promoted half-saint is nothing compared to the sense of security provided by the clan-protecting formation!
"Bai Lan, I think you've neglected your cultivation during your years as clan leader."

Bai Huan took a deep breath. The joy he had felt from breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm had vanished. At this moment, his face was ashen, and with a flick of his sleeve, he left.

"I am in a good mood today. Come with me and I will guide you on your path of cultivation."

"Elder Huan, you must not! You have just broken through to the next level. You should focus on consolidating your realm."

Bai Lan's expression changed, and she immediately declined.

joke!

I am the current clan leader, don't I have any dignity?

And don't forget, my son-in-law is a respected figure in the Bai family!
However, Bai Lan clearly underestimated the gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Half-Saint Realm. Under the suppression of the terrifying power of origin, he had no choice at all.

That night, the gloom brought about by the falling out with the Kong family was swept away by the screams coming from the mountain peak.

The Bai family elders, who had been completely uninvolved, suddenly became busy, rushing off overnight with buckets, ostensibly to supervise the clan members' cultivation within the clan's territory.

Of course, everyone knew perfectly well that they were simply worried about becoming the replacement for the clan leader.

The wrath of a half-saint is truly terrifying!
As the head of the Bai family, he could bear some hardships alone.

Even if we take a step back and say that he found such an excellent son-in-law, what's wrong with him taking on more responsibility?
unwilling?
Then let my two granddaughters marry Qin Gongfeng. I'll bear this hardship for you!

Three days later.

Bai Lan dragged his battered body back to his residence and buried himself in deep meditation.

Bai Huan stood atop the peak, gazing at the empty main peak, feeling an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

Do you even understand what the Half-Saint Realm means?
If it weren't for the revival of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and his abundant family wealth, he would never have been able to reach this point in his lifetime!

How hateful!

For the first time, Bai Huan felt resentment towards the Bai family. Why did they have to cultivate godhood for no reason?!

They don't even respect a half-tier player, what a bunch of CS players!
"Bai Lan".

Another day passed, and Bai Huan's gaze fell upon the clan chief's courtyard, which was second only to his own cave.

"Elder Huan, I'm going into seclusion to break through to the next level. If you have nothing to do, why don't you ask my son-in-law to come and repair the formation?"

Bai Lan's frightened voice rang out, and then a colorful array rose up, enveloping the entire courtyard, as if it were about to go into seclusion.

"Go find Qin Yu?"

Bai Huan was initially furious, but after hearing these words, he suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

A half-saint realm cultivator, in the major immortal kingdoms, is a figure equivalent to an emperor-level existence!

Unlike these fools who only know how to blindly cultivate their divine powers, the cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom deeply admire the strong!
……

The three-month period passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky was still dark and dawn had not yet broken; the capital of the Great Yan Empire seemed to be still asleep.

Suddenly, the ancient divine bell that protected the capital rippled slightly. Although it did not make a sound, the water curtain flowing from it seemed to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, ancient divine runes that had been dormant for thousands of years awakened in the sky above the capital, like lamps lit by an invisible hand, spreading dazzling light along the city walls.

"what happened?!"

The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Crack!"

Before anyone could react, the dark sky seemed to be torn apart, and purple energy surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

From the depths of the purple aura, a figure stepped through the air.

The first thing to appear was a pair of black dragon-patterned boots. Every step they took in the void caused the array above the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty to tremble slightly. Then, an imperial robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons appeared, each of the golden dragons moving as if it were alive.

As this figure appeared, the purple aura suddenly transformed into nine colossal dragons, each a thousand feet long, circling above the capital.

"A half-deity has descended?!"

Countless cultivators in the capital were awakened, and their expressions changed drastically when they saw the majestic figure in the sky.

"Emperor Yan."

A detached voice suddenly rang out. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a mysterious power in its eyes, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the capital. Countless buildings were covered in dust.

The protective barrier above the palace trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

"The three-month period has arrived, and I have come."

The imposing figure pressed down, and the giant dragon formed from the purple aura suddenly solidified into a dragon throne, with nine smaller purple dragons swirling around it, five of which shimmered with a mysterious luster.

The manifestation of primordial power means that this being is only one step away from the Venerable Realm!
"That's... Qin, the Qin Emperor?!"

In the capital, the powerful figures from various forces stared at the sky in horror. Lei Wang's eyes trembled. When he was young, he had visited the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty and seen the statue of the Qin Emperor.

When he first saw the statue of the Qin Emperor, he was awestruck by its majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

However, upon seeing the majestic figure in the sky with his own eyes, Lei Wang realized that the majesty of the Qin Emperor was far beyond what a statue could depict.

That heart-stirring feeling was like an innate awe of beings of a higher bloodline.

Countless powerful figures throughout the Great Yan Imperial Capital were filled with fear and unease. They were unclear about what had happened, why a half-saint had suddenly descended, and, judging from his appearance, his intentions were not good.
