Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1234: Emperor Qinling

The Divine Capital, within the Imperial Palace.

Empress Yunyao looked at the armillary sphere that was shaking ceaselessly in front of her, and then suddenly lifted her head to gaze towards the west.

”The source is actually Qinling, could it really be related to Emperor Qinling?”

Empress Yunyao’s heart trembled. Since the Human Emperor unified the Nine Provinces, countless imperial courts have emerged on this land, naturally accompanied by countless emperors. However, those who could be remembered by future generations are only a few.

Emperor Qinling is undoubtedly one of them.

”Those old-timers will likely be unable to sit still this time...”

Empress Yunyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled, she originally thought about how to make Ling Chen pay, but now that idea was completely replaced by this earthquake event. If it truly involves Emperor Qinling, compared to that, Ling Chen’s matters could no longer be considered.

Countless saints would lock their sights on Qinling, and among them, surely include some reclusive old monsters who hadn’t appeared for years.

But once someone successfully acquires Emperor Qinling’s legacy, they would achieve a tremendous breakthrough.

In one day, the world was in turmoil.

Qinling shook, ordinary people considered it just a normal earthquake. However, true experts knew that this was no ordinary earthquake.

Some said a treasure appeared, others claimed a comet from beyond the sky struck the Nine Provinces Land, while others said an ancient giant dragon awoke and returned to earth. For a time, speculation was rampant and everyone guessed the cause of the earthquake.

At this moment, Ling Chen and Ling Yin had just left the Divine Capital and stopped in a small town in the Central Region.

The tremor of the earth veins came from the direction of Qinling, besides Yongzhou, the Central Region was the closest, so Ling Chen also sensed the intense earthquake. Thus, he slowed his pace and temporarily halted his advancement eastward.

In an inn.

In the spacious backyard, Ling Chen’s right hand formed a sword gesture and summoned the Red Sky Sword, transforming into a red light unsheathed, unmatched in sword qi. The Void trembled slightly, it was grasped by his right hand, and the next moment, Ling Chen drew the Thunder Sound Sword with his left hand, both swords moving together like swimming dragons.

It was the Dual Sword Stream.

Though Ling Chen’s Dual Sword Stream was still somewhat clumsy, he had succeeded, showing obvious form, and with a little cultivation in the future, he would certainly make further progress.

The twin swords danced wildly in the Void, each sword equivalent to an expert in swordsmanship controlling them, it was impossible to tell one person was doing it, quite astonishing.

”Return!”

The twin swords united and were inserted into the sword scabbard at Ling Chen’s waist.

Ling Chen shook his head. Although the current Dual Sword Stream had become skilled, Ling Chen knew compared to the true essence of Dual Sword Stream, what he was practicing now probably lacked much in the core essence.

”Must I really go to Yingzhou to learn the true essence of the Dual Sword Stream?”

Ling Chen shook his head, the power of Dual Sword Stream, if fully mastered, wouldn’t be inferior to the Sword Controlling Technique, and Dual Sword Stream and Sword Controlling Technique followed completely different developmental paths, with no conflict between them.

”It is said that the swordsmanship in East Sea Yingzhou is highly advanced. If given the chance, I must go and witness it.”

Ling Chen sheathed the twin swords and turned to walk out of the yard.

In a private room of the inn.

Ling Chen and Ling Yin sat facing each other, though the soundproofing of the private room was very good, Ling Chen, relying on his strong sense of hearing, could still hear the discussions outside.

The warriors outside were almost all discussing the earthquakes of recent days.

”Brother Ling Chen, this earthquake across the Nine Provinces is probably unusual. Recently, it seems many warriors are rushing west, likely heading towards the source of the earthquake.”

Ling Yin took a sip from the cup on the table. Along this journey, many warriors hurriedly rushed west; these people, nine out of ten, went towards the source of the earthquake.

”Yes, this indeed is not a normal earthquake, but likely a sign, a sign of major events to come.”

Though Ling Chen couldn’t sense the mysteries of the earthquake, he had an intuition that this earthquake isn’t ordinary but a significant event shaking the Nine Provinces.

Because earlier, the White Robed Swordsman said on Spirit Mountain, six kings were born, anomalies in heaven and earth, within seven days, a sensational event would occur, causing upheaval in the Nine Provinces structure.

Though the time is a bit late, but now it hasn’t been long since the Nine-stream Assembly ended, it aligns with the words of the White Robed Swordsman.

Ling Yin’s delicate face was grave, ”From what people say, this earthquake seems related to an unmatched expert, Emperor Qinling.”

”Emperor Qinling?”

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow. This name, he certainly had heard of. Emperor Qinling, once a ruler, was extremely famous, even comparable to the Human Emperor.

After the Human Emperor left the Nine Provinces, the world plunged into hundreds of years of division again. It took five hundred years for Emperor Qinling to emerge and unify the Nine Provinces, ordering the standardization of scripts and vehicles, establishing a timeless legacy.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qinling was too hasty. Unable to achieve the breakthrough to a Supreme Expert and seeking immortality, he faced backlash. Hundreds of years of cultivation vanished, and he disappeared into history.

Later, Ba Wang rose, destroyed Emperor Qinling’s descendants, claimed part of Emperor Qinling’s legacy, accomplishing the position of Supreme Expert.

Emperor Qinling was just one step away from achieving the position of Supreme Expert, leaving an eternal regret. But no one doubted his strength; after all, even when Ba Wang was alive, he dared not challenge Emperor Qinling. If Emperor Qinling had remained alive, the future inclusion of Ba Wang and Martial Emperor was uncertain.

Emperor Qinling’s disappearance left his tomb undiscovered. Now, with earth veins shaking beneath Qinling, and Dragon Qi emerging, it is very likely the Emperor’s Tomb has surfaced.

”If it truly is Emperor Qinling’s tomb, then we might have to postpone going to the Liu Family.”

Ling Chen was moved, eyes flashing with brilliance. Emperor Qinling’s Tomb would surely attract attention across the Nine Provinces, as it remained intact and undiscovered, surely housing countless precious treasures.

”The entire Nine Provinces might stir up a storm of blood and chaos once again.”

Ling Yin affirmed nodding. The attraction of the Emperor’s Tomb wasn’t just targeting the young generation; even the elders and high-level Saints would find great interest in the Emperor’s Tomb. Once some sensational treasure appears, it would inevitably lead to fierce competition among all sides.

Moreover, this contest would likely not be a comparison of individual prowess but rather the strength of entire sects and forces; no party could dream of monopolizing such heavenly benefits.

”Let’s go.”

After resting for a while, Ling Chen and Ling Yin proceeded to leave the inn. At this moment, his sect elders likely received the news and are heading toward this place.
