Chapter 716: Master and Disciple

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
That day, Qin Yun came to Fire Cloud Palace again.
“Qin Yun.” Suirenshi, Fuxishi, and Shennongshi came out to welcome him. Suirenshi was the first to ask, “Might I know why you came looking for us when your tribulation is in three days?”
“Do you wish for Fire Cloud Palace to protect your family?” Shennongshi said with a laugh. “Don’t worry. Fire Cloud Palace’s mission is to protect humanity. We will definitely protect your family.”
The humans in Fire Cloud Palace were united to begin with.
It was normal for them to protect the families of human mighty figures.
Qin Yun cupped his hands and said, “It’s true that I came here today to request that Fire Cloud Palace protect my Qin family. However, that is only one of the reasons. The second reason has to do with treasures.”
“Treasures?” The three were perplexed.
“Does Fire Cloud Palace have a large empty space?” inquired Qin Yun.
“Follow me.” Suirenshi led the way and soon, they arrived in a fiery space. The space was vast, spanning five hundred kilometers, but it was hidden within Fire Cloud Palace.
Suirenshi smiled. “Qin Yun, how’s this space? Is it big enough?”
“This is our Fire Cloud Palace’s biggest space. If it’s not enough, we don’t have anything bigger,” said Shennongshi with a laugh.
“It’s enough. Definitely.” Qin Yun laughed as he waved his hand, making a massive corpse the size of a mountain appear in the fiery space. The moment it appeared, it shocked Suirenshi and company.
The massive corpse emanated an aura the began influencing the fiery space.
Suirenshi and company even felt their auras being suppressed.
“What a powerful body.” Shennongshi stared at it in shock. “The potency of this body is incredulous. Perhaps only the Ancestral Dragon can compare with this.”
“The aura it emanates… If mortals or Essence Soul realm cultivators were to be around this corpse, they will be influenced by it and experience a change in their bloodlines, turning into a clan with powerful bodies,” said Suirenshi. “Only those at the Skyimmortal realm who have fused Essence Soul and body as one can withstand this influence.”
Qin Yun nodded.
Bodies that had reached the half-step Heavenly Dao realm possessed strong influential power.
For instance, the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon were all impressive. The children of the nine sons were all Skydragons. The Skydragons’ descendants with other dragons would typically result in the True Dragon realm. The True Dragons’ descendants with other races would typically result in ordinary dragons. Finally, the descendants of ordinary dragons with other races would result in wyrms or other creatures.
Why was the dragons’ bloodline that potent? It was because of its source—the Ancestral Dragon.
Even across multiple generations, the influence his bloodline had was extremely terrifying.
As for the Ancestral Dragon himself?
Just by staying in an area for an extended period of time, if he did not converge his aura, it would cause the surrounding races to mutate towards the state of a dragon.
And the corpse Qin Yun had produced was on the same level as the Ancestral Dragon.
“This is an expert from the spatial tide,” said Qin Yun. “Back then, Hou Yi and I spent quite a bit of effort to kill him. Today, I’ll be giving it to Fire Cloud Palace.”
“You are giving it to us?” Shennongshi could not help but say, “This corpse is extremely precious. Even the most wasteful method can refine it into a Guardian General which will have the strength of a perfected Great Dao.”
The creation of a Guardian General would typically reduce its original strength.
For instance, if the corpses of perfected Great Dao experts were to be made into puppets, without knowledge of the Great Dao, just their bodies would typically be capable of producing perfected Great Dao strength.
And a half-step Heavenly Dao realm of the perfected Great Dao had too potent a body. Yet, after becoming a puppet, they would still possess the strength of an ordinary perfected Great Dao, just slightly weaker than when they were alive.
“This is the most wasteful method. If more effort is placed in, just fusing his blood with various herbs, we can refine pills that aid in physical cultivation! I believe it wouldn’t even be difficult to refine pills that match Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals,” said Shennongshi. Besides, even if this corpse were to lose some blood, it would slowly recover by naturally absorbing the external world’s Heaven and Earth powers.”
“It’s completely undying and indestructible. It’s like a treasure trove.” Shennongshi looked at Qin Yun. “Its value is above that of a Connate Cardinal treasure. Are you really giving it to Fire Cloud Palace?”
Suirenshi and Fuxishi looked at Qin Yun as well.
The gift was just too valuable.
“Even the most simple usage of turning it into a puppet will not happen easily,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “I think it’s best left to the three of you to decide on it.”
“Qin Yun, if you transcend the tribulation successfully, you will naturally be able to make use of it over time,” said Suirenshi.
“If I transcend the tribulation successfully, these treasures would no longer be important to me,” said Qin Yun. “If I have a need for them, I can just get them from the spatial tide.”
His strength was increasing.
Hou Yi would also consume the Spirit Enlightening Fruit in the future, and his strength would improve as well.
If he transcended the tribulation, he could pay the spatial tide a visit together with Hou Yi! When that happened, even if Hou Yi had reached the Heavenly Dao realm, Qin Yun would ask for him to keep his Essence Soul Dharmic powers at the Golden Immortal realm and not rush to break through. With their combined forces… they would be more powerful than the last time. Even if they encountered someone as strong as Bohan Island Lord, they would be able to easily crush them.
However, that was all speculative!
That would be after Hou Yi consumed the Spirit Enlightening Fruit and after Qin Yun successfully transcended the tribulation…
“I wish that day will come,” thought Qin Yun.
“Three Sovereigns, I will soon face my tribulations, so I won’t impose myself any further,” Qin Yun said with a laugh. “I bid you farewell.”
Fuxishi and company exchanged looks. However, they did not reject the gift and took it before seeing Qin Yun out.
At the door of Fire Cloud Palace.
Watching Qin Yun leave, the Three Sovereigns exchanged looks.
“This gift that Qin Yun gave us sure is valuable,” Suirenshi mused.
“Even if he wishes for us to protect the Qin family, there’s no need for him to gift us something this valuable,” said Fuxishi.
Shennongshi said, “We owe him one, so all we can do is slowly repay him in the future.”
…
Even if Qin Yun failed to transcend the tribulation, and the Dao Ancestors and company were forced to leave the Three Realms, anyone who dared to attack Qin Yun’s family, be it for revenge or treasures, perhaps Ancestral Dragon, Hou Yi, and the Three Sovereigns would be the first to respond! As things were, the combined forces of these three were probably greater than that of the fiends.
“There’s Master as well.”
Qin Yun went to Green Touring Palace and headed for the main palace. This was the final person he wanted to meet before his tribulation. On his cultivation path, his master had been protecting him all the time.
“My disciple, come on in.” His master’s voice sounded from the main palace.
Qin Yun walked in and saw Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor sitting on a bed of clouds.
He was feeling mixed emotions as he went forward and knelt down. “Greetings, Master.”
“Silly child. Quick, get up,” Numinous Treasure urged. After becoming a mighty figure, his disciples typically had no need to kneel. By doing so, Qin Yun was clearly paying his last respects to his master before the tribulation.
If he failed to transcend the tribulation, it would also be his last time kowtowing to his master.
Only then did Qin Yun stand up with reddened eyes. He said gloomily, “After I return, I’ll be focusing on my preparation to transcend the tribulation. I will not be able to visit you again, so I ask for your forgiveness.”
“With your strength, you will definitely transcend the tribulation successfully,” said Numinous Treasure.
“Alright.”
Qin Yun nodded. He flipped his hand and a flying boat appeared in his palm. “This flying boat was a cardinal treasure I chanced upon in the spatial tide. Its extremely fast and since you will need to leave the Three Realms in the future, this flying boat might be of use to you.”
With that said, the flying boat flew towards Numinous Treasure.
When he received it and looked it through, he said with some shock, “This flying boat is indeed extraordinary.”
It was indeed extraordinary.
This flying boat was refined by Bohan Island Lord who had also reached the Heavenly Dao realm together with his comprehension of the cultivation systems of many other-universes. And this flying boat he used personally was refined using all sorts of rare items without any consideration for cost. In terms of strength, Numinous Treasure was stronger than Bohan Island Lord due to the transformation of his Essence Soul Dharmic powers. But in terms of knowledge, he was truly inferior to Bohan Island Lord.
To revive his wife, Bohan Island Lord had fervently sought out other cultivation systems and even captured a large number of other-universe cultivators to force them to reveal their various Dharmic formulations. As such, he cultivated in many other systems.
“Our Three Realms doesn’t have such a fast flying boat.” Numinous Treasure looked at his disciple and felt moved. He said, “Disciple, this gift will indeed be of great help to me.”
“As long as it can help you, Master.” Qin Yun smiled. “Then, I shall take my leave.”
“Hold on.”
Numinous Treasure flipped his hand as he spoke, producing a black circular disc in his palm. From it, flying swords flew out, thousands that floated in midair.
“This is the Myriad Sword Array I refined,” said Numinous Treasure. “After you return, set this up in Mt. Lightning Roar. It can be the cornerstone array formation to protect your Mt. Lightning Roar.”
“Thank you, Master.” Qin Yun was moved. Without any need for explanation, just from the mystical runes on each of the thousands of swords, it was clear that refining them was very complicated. Clearly, his master had long begun refining them.
“Disciple.”
Numinous Treasure looked at Qin Yun and said solemnly, “If you were to gain eternal life after transcending the tribulation, you will be Green Touring Palace’s new sect master! If you fail to transcend the tribulation, I’ll definitely protect your family. This is my promise as your master! Go on!”
“Yes.” Qin Yun’s eyes reddened as he bowed reverently before taking his leave.
Numinous Treasure watched his disciple step out the palace before he muttered, “You are the disciple I’m most proud and satisfied with. You must succeed in transcending the tribulation.”
Following that, he closed his eyes and waited silently for the day of Qin Yun’s tribulation to arrive.
