Chapter 1488 - 1421: Elder Qin's Shock!

Shen Island.

Despite the time that has passed, there has not been a single change here.

When Qin Feiyang, Elder Qin, and Luk Jiajin arrived on Shen Island, they headed straight for the lake below.

At the bottom of the lake.

The stone carved with Mermaid inscriptions is still there.

However.

No matter what the three of them did, they could not bring about the murderous intent of the Mermaid Queen.

Helplessly, they could only leave and enter the Inner Sea.

However.

Shortly after entering the Inner Sea, Qin Feiyang's Image Crystal Stone suddenly rang.

He stopped in mid-air over the sea and took out the Image Crystal Stone.

The silhouette of Yan Wei quickly appeared.

Seeing the three of them, Yan Wei immediately asked, "Where are you now?"

"Inner Sea, why?"

Qin Feiyang looked at him suspiciously.

"Inner Sea?"

Yan Wei was taken aback, surprised, "The Inner Sea is in the Central Divine Nation, and I'm in the Imperial Capital. I can actually send a message to you?"

Hearing Yan Wei say this, Qin Feiyang was also taken aback.

Elder Qin pondered, "It should be related to the Time-space Gate!"

"Time-space Gate?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

That seems to be the only explanation.

The Time-space Gate connects the Imperial Capital and the Central Divine Nation, linking the two continents together. Now that people on both sides can communicate, it seems logical.

Qin Feiyang came to his senses, looking at Yan Wei, "Why were you looking for me? From your look, it seems you're in a hurry?"

Yan Wei said solemnly, "It's not just a hurry, it's urgent. The little prince at the Imperial Palace secretly took a Potential Elixir."

"What?"

Qin Feiyang's expression changed drastically.

Elder Qin and Luk Jiajin also trembled in mind and body.

"How is he doing now?"

Elder Qin asked.

"Not good at all."

"Earlier, his body cracked, and he has already fainted. The State Preceptor and Emperor Hong are trying every means to save him."

"But whether they can save him is still unknown."

Yan Wei finished speaking, looked at Qin Feiyang, and asked, "Will you come back to see?"

"Of course!"

Before Qin Feiyang could speak, Elder Qin interjected, "We'll return immediately."

"Wait."

Qin Feiyang held back Elder Qin.

Elder Qin turned his head, looking at him puzzled.

"Calm down."

Qin Feiyang reassured him, then looked at Yan Wei, "Are there many people who know about this?"

"Not many."

"Just me, Emperor Hong, and the State Preceptor."

Yan Wei replied.

Qin Feiyang nodded and looked at Elder Qin, "Then we can't go back now."

"Why?"

Elder Qin frowned.

"Because only the three of them know."

"If we rush back now, the State Preceptor will surely suspect Yan Wei immediately."

"It was hard for Yan Wei to earn the State Preceptor's trust, and I don't want his identity exposed because of this."

Qin Feiyang said solemnly.

Elder Qin was startled, then smiled bitterly, "Worry does cause confusion, but does this mean we should just ignore it?"

"The State Preceptor and Emperor Hong are existences at the peak of the Pseudo God realm, they are sure to have some way, so you don't need to worry too much."

Qin Feiyang reassured.

"Cousin, that's not necessarily."

But before Qin Feiyang finished speaking, Luk Jiajin suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang was suspicious.

Luk Jiajin didn't answer but asked instead, "Have you ever experienced the pain of failing to open the Door of Potential?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

Not only had he not, but neither did the people and fierce beasts around him.

He had used Small Creation Pills to open the Door of Potential, but Small Creation Pills and Potential Elixirs, Potential Pills, are completely different concepts.

Using Small Creation Pills to open the Door of Potential, even if it fails, doesn't affect one negatively.

Luk Jiajin said, "You haven't experienced it, but someone from our village has."

"What happened to them in the end?"

Qin Feiyang asked, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

"You should know that using Potential Elixirs and Potential Pills to open the Door of Potential, if failed, at least one's cultivation is ruined, severely injuring their vitality. At worst, their bodies explode, and blood splatters on the spot."

Luk Jiajin said.

"I know."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Though that's how it is said, the chances of dying after failure are extremely high."

"From ancient times in our village, there have been two or three hundred people who failed, but less than ten survived in the end."

"And those who died, before they died, our second grandfather tried everything to save them, but it was of no avail."

"You must know, they were all people with cultivation, they met the conditions to open the Door of Potential, even they died, let alone the little prince."

"The little prince now, is probably just beginning to touch cultivation, which means he is still an ordinary child."

"And he is so young."

"With his fragile body, he simply cannot withstand the enormous energy of the Potential Elixir."

"So I believe, afraid that even with the State Preceptor and Emperor Hong there, the little prince's life is in jeopardy this time."

Luk Jiajin said.

Hearing this, Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.

I didn't expect the survival odds after failure to be so low.

"Feiyang, the little prince is your younger brother, you cannot ignore him!"

"Moreover, you are not interested in the throne, afterwards, someone has to manage the Great Qin Empire?"

"And right now, there are only you and the little prince as descendants for His Majesty. If the little prince dies, what will happen to Great Qin in the future?"

Elder Qin anxiously said.

"Don't worry, Elder."

Qin Feiyang comforted him and looked at Yan Wei, "You need to go back and keep an eye on things. If the situation becomes more dire, find a way to spread the word. Only when everyone knows about it can I help him."

"That's simple."

Yan Wei smiled confidently, and his figure quickly vanished.

Luk Jiajin asked, "Cousin, if the young prince's condition reaches an irreversible point, how do you plan to help him?"

"I don't know either."

"I really can't understand why he would act so rashly. Isn't it foolish to risk his life like this?"

Qin Feiyang was very angry.

Elder Qin sighed, "He's still so young, how could he understand any of this? I guess his mind must be clouded by hatred."

"I think so too."

Luk Jiajin nodded, looking at Qin Feiyang with a smile, "He hates you and wants to avenge his mother."

"And back then, Emperor Hong even announced publicly that you were the one who killed the Emperor. His hatred for you must be growing stronger."

"But your cultivation is too high, he doesn't stand a chance to avenge."

"So, he's desperate to become stronger quickly, and secretly consumed the Potential Elixir."

"And he's so young, probably no one told him about the consequences of misusing the Potential Elixir."

Luk Jiajin said.

"Is this still my fault?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

"It's not your fault because anyone would do the same."

"The mistake was with that woman. As the Empress of Great Qin, she didn't abide by her proper role."

"The fault lies with Emperor Hong."

"If he hadn't falsely accused you of killing the Emperor, the young prince's hatred for you wouldn't be so intense."

Elder Qin said darkly.

Emperor Hong and that woman are the true culprits of all this.

But after speaking, suddenly Elder Qin seemed to remember something, his body trembled slightly. He looked at Qin Feiyang and Luk Jiajin, saying, "I thought of a way, it can definitely save the young prince."

"What way?"

The two looked at him in surprise and suspicion.

"The Flame of Life!"

Elder Qin said word by word.

"Yes, how could I have forgotten about it?"

Qin Feiyang's spirit lifted, but then immediately fell as he said, "I used to have the Flame of Life, but it was fused by myself and my mother, and Fatty. Where can I find it on such short notice?"

Qin Feiyang did not notice that upon hearing the words Flame of Life, Luk Jiajin's eyes flickered.

Elder Qin, upon hearing Qin Feiyang's words, also looked dejected.

Yes!

The Flame of Life is such a precious thing, either still undiscovered in some perilous place or already in the hands of a powerful figure.

This kind of thing relies entirely on opportunity and luck; you cannot force it.

Luk Jiajin examined the two, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Our Luk family does have two clusters of the Flame of Life."

"What?"

The two immediately looked at Luk Jiajin.

Luk Jiajin said, "It's in the hands of Granduncle."

"I beg you, please save the young prince."

Elder Qin was overjoyed, even forgetting his own status, directly kneeling in mid-air and pleading with Luk Jiajin.

Luk Jiajin quickly went forward to support Elder Qin, saying, "Senior, don't do this, I can't bear it."

Elder Qin stood up, firmly grasping Luk Jiajin's hand, unwilling to let go, his eyes full of entreaty.

Luk Jiajin gave a helpless smile, turned to Qin Feiyang, and said, "Think carefully first, are you sure you want to save the young prince? If you are certain, I'll immediately go back to discuss it with Granduncle."

"I'm certain."

Qin Feiyang nodded, without hesitation.

Luk Jiajin gave Qin Feiyang a deep look, nodded, and said, "Alright then, let's go back."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, opening a teleportation portal, and the three of them appeared over a deserted forest outside the Imperial City.

Then.

Qin Feiyang brought the two into an ancient castle and then controlled it to speed like lightning towards the Door of Time.

Elder Qin was very excited along the way.

But suddenly.

He froze for a moment, turning to look at Luk Jiajin, realizing it just now, he still didn't know this person's identity?

Because Luk Jiajin was always wearing a mask, never revealing his true face.

Of course.

Even without the mask, Elder Qin might not recognize him, as Luk Jiajin had never appeared outside before.

Elder Qin looked at Luk Jiajin and cupped his hands, "Right, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"

"You should be able to guess, Elder."

Luk Jiajin smiled.

"Guess?"

Elder Qin was slightly taken aback and lowered his head in thought.

Calling Qin Feiyang cousin, a member of the Luk family, and a Pseudo God...

Suddenly!

Elder Qin's eyes twitched, he looked up at Luk Jiajin and asked in shock, "Could you be Luk Jiajin?"

"Indeed, it's me, junior."

Luk Jiajin nodded with a smile.

"How can that be?"

"If I remember right, you and Zhuge Mingyang are of the same age, yet you already broke through to Pseudo God?"

Elder Qin looked at him wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

"Just lucky."

Luk Jiajin smiled slightly.

"Luck?"

Elder Qin, upon hearing this, shook his head with a wry smile. To step into the Pseudo God realm in just a few hundred years, can that be called luck?

That is called unmatched genius!

"I have long heard of your name, but I never expected your talent to be so astonishing."

"The world only knows Zhuge Mingyang as the number one prodigy of the Imperial Capital, but little do they know, the true number one prodigy has been quietly cultivating."

"However, your mindset, I greatly admire."

Elder Qin said with a smile.

"Senior praises me too much, I dare not accept."

Luk Jiajin waved his hand, very humble.

Elder Qin shook his head and smiled, no longer saying anything, but sighing in his heart. Qin Feiyang was already a monster, and now there's another Luk Jiajin. With these two brothers joining forces, who in the younger generation can compete with them in the future?

Even people of their own older generation might have to avoid their edge.
