Chapter 391: Saintess Yao Yao's Insecurity

"Kunpeng?!"

Qin Xuan raised his eyes, gazing at the ancient Divine Beast whose massive form seemed to connect heaven and earth. He could not help but be surprised.

The first time he entered the Land of Fallen Emperors, he had luckily been swallowed by the Kunpeng, obtaining the complete Legacy of the Phoenix Treasure Technique and absorbing the energy left behind by the powerful figures of the Phoenix clan.

Now, he was revisiting this place.

Why had this ancient Divine Beast appeared again?

One must know that although the Land of Fallen Emperors was filled with dangers, the Prodigy Disciples of the Ziyang Empire had come and gone more than dozens of times.

The number of times people had entered was countless.

Almost no one had ever seen the Kunpeng.

How was it that every time he came, he ran into it?

Especially this time, the Kunpeng had appeared on purpose.

This made Qin Xuan find it even more incredible.

"You all return to the Yaochi Sacred Land first; I will be back soon."

Qin Xuan raised his hand, sending Luo Xianxian and the others out of the Land of Fallen Emperors, then transformed into a streak of rainbow light, shooting towards where the Kunpeng was.

It looked close at hand, but in reality, the distance was tens of thousands of miles.

Even with Qin Xuan traveling at full speed, it would take more than a quarter of an hour.

Hum—

An ethereal humming sound rang out once again.

Qin Xuan vanished from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Kunpeng.

He stood beneath the Kunpeng's eyelid, gazing at that giant eye, which was comparable to a small star.

Noticing the Kunpeng's gaze slowly shifting downward, even Qin Xuan felt a sense of awe at the sheer scale of the massive creature.

"Are you guiding me here?" Qin Xuan asked tentatively.

The Kunpeng did not speak, yet an ancient voice appeared beside Qin Xuan's ear, "Your cultivation is at the Emperor Realm, but your strength far exceeds what the Emperor Realm can bear. Apart from the Phoenix Treasure Technique and the ancient prison-suppressing tower, you have other immense Opportunities."

Qin Xuan knitted his brows.

This look from the Kunpeng seemed to peer through the ages.

It was as if all his trump cards had already been seen through by this ancient Divine Beast before him.

If this Kunpeng were to attack him, Qin Xuan weighed whether he could escape unscathed by erupting with his full strength and activating the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation and the Exquisite Heart-Burning Art.

As for wanting to kill the Kunpeng, that was nothing but a pipe dream.

He discovered that the Kunpeng this time was even more massive than the one he had seen before.

Perhaps it wasn't that the Kunpeng's true form was this large, but rather that the limit of his eyesight could only perceive it as this big!

The Kunpeng's ancient voice sounded again, as if comforting Qin Xuan, "In this place, those who want to kill you are not your opponents, and those who can kill you cannot kill you."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior, for your protection."

Clearly, the Kunpeng before him was one of the existences capable of suppressing and killing him.

However, judging by its tone, the Kunpeng was not only showing him goodwill but even had the intention to protect him.

Qin Xuan was curious about the whereabouts of Senior Sister Ziyuan and Little Koi, so he quickly pressed, "I wonder if Senior knows the whereabouts of Senior Sister Ziyuan and Little Koi? The former is the woman who was swallowed into your belly with me, and the other possesses the Cursed Poison Body."

He did not know how powerful the Kunpeng was, but when it came to mastery over this Land of Fallen Emperors, no one could surpass this ancient Divine Beast.

"They have left."

The Kunpeng's voice grew increasingly ancient and weathered.

Qin Xuan frowned in confusion, "Did they return to the world I am from?"

The Kunpeng said softly, "They went to the Hongmeng Continent together and have already arrived."

Qin Xuan's eyes showed disbelief, "Isn't it said that there are endless mists outside the Endless Sea of this place, which even the powerhouses of the Hongmeng Continent cannot cross? If the two of them haven't broken through to the God Realm yet, how could they possibly cross that region of infinite mist?"

He didn't care at all about the fate of the people from the Qin Princes Mansion who entered the Secret Realm.

But Little Koi and Senior Sister Ziyuan were different.

They were both Daughters of Luck, and they were the core hidden within his broken heart.

If they were lost in the mist, or if something went wrong, he could not accept it in his heart!

The Kunpeng's gaze converged on Qin Xuan once again, and it said slowly, "You possess the ancient prison-suppressing tower; by heading into the God Ruins, you will be able to receive guidance to enter the Hongmeng Continent."

"This is the method left behind by that one."

"And the other one who fought against them naturally had their own means. That Little Koi inherited the great Luck of heaven and earth, with boundless fortune, and obtained the backup plan left by that one, so she went to the Hongmeng Continent with that Cursed Poison Body, and they have already arrived safely."

"Put that way, it makes perfect sense."

Qin Xuan wore a wry smile. He didn't know why, but as long as it involved Little Koi, no matter how outrageous things were, he felt they were no longer so unacceptable.

After all, she was a koi who would trip over an Immortal Stone while walking, and could obtain the Legacy of an Exquisite Heavenly God just by looking for a place for the Heaven-Swallowing Carp to settle down.

If her Luck was even better, what was there to be surprised about?

"I wonder what Senior has to tell me by appearing this time?"

It was obvious that the Kunpeng had appeared specifically to see him this time.

In the Kunpeng's weathered voice, there was an indescribable, special nuance, "Just to meet. After meeting, you can head to the Hongmeng Continent. That is the place for you to stretch your hands and feet. Breaking through to the God Realm in this fragment will only cause that world to explode."

Woo—

Accompanied by the ethereal sound ringing out again, Qin Xuan was uncontrollably expelled from the Forbidden Land by the Land of Fallen Emperors.

As Qin Xuan's figure disappeared, the Kunpeng murmured as if talking to itself, "The Luck lost between heaven and earth has begun to return once more. The vanished prestige of the Human Emperor has already begun to manifest. This transition between the new and the old will stir up another storm of blood. Forget it, this time, I shall remain silent once more..."

Inside the Yaochi Sacred Land, Saintess Yao Yao, hearing that Qin Xuan had left, was filled with astonishment in her beautiful eyes, "What? Qin Xuan has left?!"

"He went to the Hongmeng Continent; when will he ever return!?"

Learning the news of Qin Xuan's departure from Su Youyu, and having checked and confirmed that Qin Xuan's aura was indeed not in the Yaochi Sacred Land, the sense of urgency that had originally been in Saintess Yao Yao's heart suddenly turned into an indescribable melancholy.

"Perhaps, this is destiny."

There was an indescribable loneliness and sorrow in Saintess Yao Yao's eyes.

With her Natural Charm Physique, if it hadn't been for her Master taking her in all those years ago, she might have already become a femme fatale, ruining nations and cities.

Her Master, having divined the secrets of heaven, had once cast a fortune for her.

One day, when the Yaochi Sacred Land fell, the one who turned the tide would be her fated destination.

This divination clearly manifested in Qin Xuan.

But now, she had finally let go of the cold pride and guardedness in her heart, taking the initiative to reveal her Natural Charm Physique to Qin Xuan.

For these past few days, she had stayed on the main peak, but she had never waited for Qin Xuan to come.

Until Qin Xuan went to the Hongmeng Continent, she had already missed her last chance to defy heaven and change her fate.

"Could it be that the Natural Charm Physique is destined to be a femme fatale?"

"Even if I could prevent the fall of the Yaochi Sacred Land."

"I still cannot block the control of fate over the Natural Charm Physique?"

Saintess Yao Yao felt insecure with a dazed look in her eyes, "Or perhaps, it is that I was too unable to let go of the restrictions of my status and position, causing me to miss Qin Xuan."

"Missed my own destiny?"

"If I could have taken the initiative to go to Thunder Prison Peak earlier, would all of this have been rewritten?"
