Chapter 167 - Secret Realm Part 9- Encountering A Great Emperor

'Well, you are right. But, it actually doesn't suit me. I mean if a person wants to work hard, why suggest settling down? I understand your point but there are people in this world with some passion and dreams. They won't settle for the easy life because they know that's not what they truly want.'

'Do you think I can achieve the same result by working less hard and dual cultivating than working hard? I don't think that's possible. I know my Dual Cultivation Body has a huge advantage over-cultivation but in the end, it is still something created by someone.'

'Xiao Lan is right. Only the Supreme Way of Sword is the best choice for me. Because that allows me to continuously evolve while dual cultivation and devil cultivation has some restriction. For now, I still stick with dual cultivation for my normal cultivation and work hard for everything else.'

'I don't want to fuck Tan Shui just for the sake of dark element.' Qin shook his head and answered.

Qiao Fu wanted to rebuke but she had no words. Because she realized he wasn't wrong. When it comes to passion and dreams, hard work or easy work doesn't matter at all.

"I think we should split into the teams. If I am not wrong, Tan's sisters are going to be together with Brother Qin. This makes it a little easy. I will go with Liu Bing like before. Basically, we will go in the team of two like before except this time Brother Qin will be accompanied by three more."

Lan Ming's words rang on his ears, pulling him out of the fantasy. Qin nodded his head and everyone else also agreed. Suddenly, Guan Xing raised his hand and spoke.

"Brother Lan, you have a minute?"

Lan Ming strangely looked at Guan Xing and asked "Private talk?"

"Yeah, I have something that I need to tell you." Guan Xing spoke while walking towards him and pulled him away. Others were curious, especially Qin but no one spoke. But, something strange happened. Guan Xing just took Lan Ming really far away.

This made them quite suspicious and confused.

"I just realized something. If he wanted to talk something privately, can't he use Spiritual Sense?" Chu Xieyi turned her eyes at Qin and asked.

Qin shrugged his shoulders and said "Maybe it's not just words. I have a feeling that Guan Xing wanted to show him something else."

"Maybe he sensed something unusual and needed Brother Lan's help?" Zhao Tan spoke.

"Hmm! That might be the case. Whatever, let's not talk about him. We should focus on our conditions and get ready for the future adventure." Qin shrugged his shoulders and slowly sat down on the ground. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes.

On another side,

"Hey, where are we going?" Lan Ming asked while following Guan Xing. Both of them were rushing somewhere far to the forest. Basically, the forest was at the middle. One side was the hill where they started and another was the mountains.

They were going sideways.

"I sensed something. I think it's that thing." Guan Xing's expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Wait, are you out of your mind? Why do you think we should go towards our death?" Lan Ming suddenly froze and shouted. But, he didn't stop running. Because Guan Xing didn't stop.

"Didn't you say it sucks qi from one side and send it to another side? Since it is sucking qi from Saitou Region and throwing it here, the power of that suction won't affect us. And, I need your help with this one. We need to put an end to this." Guan Xing's expression turned serious as he spoke without moving his eyes from the front.

"Damn! And, you just had to pull me into this mess." Lan Ming gritted his teeth but soon, a smirk appeared on his lips as he continued "You should be thankful that I have this technique with me. Let's see how bad the condition is."

Only then did Guan Xing turn his head back and smiled while nodding his head. After that, they ran for nearly twenty minutes until they reached in front of a hill. This hill was quite different than normal hill.

There was a massive egg that was constantly releasing blue energy out of it. It was hanged by a huge pillars on both sides.

"Damn! Such a high density of qi!" Lan Ming couldn't help but open his mouth in awe. Suddenly, Guan Xing appeared behind him and covered his mouth.

"Don't speak!" Guan Xing's voice was incredibly low when he whispered. Lan Ming instantly turned serious and slowly pushed his hand away. Both of them dashed near the rock and hide behind it.

'That thing! A Transcendence Rank Monster. Damn, I couldn't even sense it. It seems to be sleeping.' Lan Ming stared at the massive rock with shock and disbelieve on his face. The massive rock was filled with spikes and it wasn't a rock.

It was the armor of the tortoise. It had a rocky texture and that's the reason why Lan Ming didn't detect it before.

'I think this tortoise is the master of this place. I don't see any monsters here.' Guan Xing used his spiritual sense and spoke in Lan Ming's mind.

'Shhhhhh! Did you hear that?' Lan Ming suddenly puts the finger in front of his mouth and asked.

'Hear what?' Guan Xing stared at Lan Ming with confusion but as silent, he gets, loud a noise gets.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

'Shit! Shit! Shit! Don't tell me we are standing on a monster beast heart?' Guan Xing opened his mouth wide and shouted while turning his head at Lan Ming.

'Damn! Emperor or maybe a Great Emperor? Doesn't this mean your plan will not succeed now?' Lan Ming asked as he speculate the realm of the monster. Because they were over the body of a monster, they didn't even know what it is.

'We can't do anything. Let's return back and continue with the original plan!' Guan Xing's face was filled with a little bit of unwillingness as he spoke. He slowly moved ahead but suddenly Lan Ming stopped him and said.

'Don't you think it is quite ridiculous that a Great Emperor will stay in this small world for thousands of years? If it goes out, it could even reach the Ancestor Realm. And, no matter how dense this place might be, it can't be compared to the Central Continent and every Great Emperor goes to the Central Continent if they still have enough talent.'

'I think there is something else going on here. Maybe it's injured? But, monsters normally heal quickly. It has been tens of thousands of years. Its injuries should've been healed. So, what's stopping him? Maybe a seal? Or, maybe an oath to protect this place?'

Hearing his words, Guan Xing rolled his eyes and spoke 'Aren't those just speculations? And, how do you even hope to confirm this? I don't want to waste my life on speculation.'

'Hehe! You are wrong. Didn't I say? It is a Great Emperor. Do you think a Great Emperor can't even hear our conversation?' Lan Ming giggled as he made his spiritual sense wider.

"Hahaha! Little one, it seems you are not a normal person. You are right. I can indeed hear your spiritual communication. So, you want to know whether I am sealed or I have taken an oath, right? Well, if you want to know this, first you must defeat that tortoise."

Suddenly, laughter burst inside their head alongside the haughty tone.

'Senior, if we defeat that tortoise, will we get any inheritance?' Lan Ming couldn't help but ask the tortoise with the expectation in his head.

"Greedy Junior, you are correct. If you defeat this monster, you will get my inheritance. I have sworn an oath to protect this place for eternity. So, I can't leave but I can still pass down my legacy to you. But, I don't think two of you can defeat this tortoise."

The voice rings on their heads once again but this time, a smile appears on their faces.

'Senior, we can fight against in a group, right. So, can we go and call our friends?' Lan Ming asked.

"Hmm! Yes, you can go and find your friends. But, do keep in mind, you might have to share the inheritance with others. And, it might be something that you probably wouldn't want to share."

When these words rang on their heads, Lan Ming and Guan Xing stared at each other and tried to hold back their laughter. They even covered their mouth and tilts their head.

'Senior, we'll be back soon.' Lan Ming slipped those words and both of them ran away. After running a few miles, both of them stopped and looked at each other.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Oh my god! I never thought I would have heard those words in my life."

"Me too! This is so funny. Hahaha! Does he think the inheritance of a Great Emperor is enough to make a battle between us?"

After a few minutes, both of them stopped laughing and looked at each other. They pointed their index fingers at each other and said.

"We do need the resources though."
