[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the “Resurrection Technique” as a check-in reward!]

Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

The Resurrection Technique was known as the undying celestial technique. Even if there was only a drop of blood left, one could be resurrected.

Qin Chen immediately began to cultivate. With his cultivation of the half-step Bahuang Realm, he quickly succeeded and activated the Resurrection Technique.

His muscles glowed with endless multicolored light, and strands of hair and broken bones were being expelled from his body.

In his realm, his muscles were flawless and he was already perfect, but the Resurrection Technique could raise his body to a higher and more perfect level.

Qin Chen felt that his body had become stronger and more complete. The blood energy in his body was endless, like a giant dragon lying dormant. It was amazing. He could take the crucial step at any time to become a true Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.

Of course, he didn’t. He just walked around the great Emperor’s palace.

The palace was grand and chaos energy filled the air. There were also wisps of shocking Emperor might that were still circulating, making him exclaim in admiration.

He wondered which ancient great Emperor had left this palace behind. In the past, even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left behind corresponding footprints here.

Anything left behind by an ancient great Emperor could become a supreme treasure and would cause countless experts in the world to go crazy over it.

Qin Chen also wanted to obtain a supreme treasure in the great Emperor’s palace.

It would be great if he could get an emperor-grade weapon or extreme celestial material.

Soon, he had finished walking around and realized that there were not many divine treasures left in the great Emperor’s palace. Most of the halls had been cleared out and only a few could be found in the halls at the core of the palace. However, they were within Emperor arrays.

After countless years, even the Emperor arrays had been worn down by time, becoming damaged.

However, let alone the current Qin Chen, even if he was ten times stronger, he would not dare to venture into those arrays.

If an Emperor array was triggered, it would be enough to turn him into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

In the place, he also found the place where the Sage-level Demon King of the ten thousand ancient races was sealed. It was in the core of a hall that was covered with dense Sage inscriptions. It had been set up by the Taiyi Holy Land’s Sage ancestor, the ancient Sage Tai Yun.

A crystal the size of an adult man floated in there. A terrifying ancient race creature with giant horns and a fiendish expression was sealed within. It faintly exuded a terrifying aura, much more terrifying than Yang Tiancheng.

A Sage-level Demon King was extremely terrifying.

However, the Demon King had not completely awakened and was trapped in the Sage-level array.

There was a gap in the Sage-level array patterns, and there were traces of blood. It was the same as Yang Tiancheng’s, so it was naturally left behind by him.

Qin Chen looked at the sealed ancient race Sage-level Demon King. He wanted to kill the other party here and now, but he didn’t do so in the end.

Firstly, the palace had incomplete Emperor arrays and Sage-level array patterns. Even if he wanted to enter, it would be difficult and he might even be trapped inside. The loss would be greater than his gains.

Secondly, he was still not a true Venerable. Even if he had the quasi-emperor grade weapon “Taihuang”, it was still very risky for him to face a true ancient Sage.

Qin Chen had always been very steady, and the Sage-level Demon King was still in slumber anyway. The other party could only awaken once or twice, and it was estimated that it would take another twenty to thirty years for him to completely awaken.

In twenty-three years, Qin Chen was confident that he could become a Jiutian Realm Sage. Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the Sage-level Demon King then?

After leaving the great Emperor’s palace, Qin Chen sealed the palace and buried it deep underground.

He cast a regretful glance at the palace. It was a pity that with his current cultivation base, he was unable to take it for himself. Now that this palace that was built by an ancient great Emperor had appeared, even a brick from it could smash someone to death.

The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others approached Qin Chen, wanting to see his true identity. Unfortunately, he was covered by various path laws, so even a King couldn’t see clearly, let alone the Taiyi Holy Lord, who hadn’t reached that level yet. He couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask who senior is?”

The other Holy Land elders looked over, and Ling Ran was naturally one of them.

She had a faint feeling in her heart that the person before them was the mysterious expert who had given her the divine medicine and the “Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra”.

Qin Chen’s figure was blurry and could not be seen clearly. He stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “I’m just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Land, so there’s no need to mention it.”

Even now, Qin Chen was still unwilling to reveal his true identity. He called himself an “ordinary disciple” to hide his true identity.

The voice that came from the path law was neither old nor young, and it was difficult to tell if the person was male or female. The other party seemed mysterious, but this answer made people feel astonished.

An ordinary disciple of the Holy Land?

Since when did the Taiyi Holy Land have such a disciple with such unfathomable cultivation? All the major Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and dynasties in the world would wish to have such a disciple.

The Holy Lord and the other elders all thought that Qin Chen just didn’t want to say his true identity. They knew that some seniors were used to being indifferent to fame and fortune, refusing to fight for worldly fame and fortune.

The person before them was probably one of those seniors.

Subconsciously, the Holy Lord and the others still regarded Qin Chen as an old senior.

The Holy Lord immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, “Senior’s indifference to fame and fortune has earned the respect of us juniors. Thanks to your appearance today, the Taiyi Holy Land was spared from disaster. I have a request. Senior, please stay in the Holy Land and take on the position of the Holy Lord!”

Many people were shocked when they heard this. They didn’t expect the Taiyi Holy Lord to give up the position of the Holy Lord to this mysterious senior.

It had to be said that this was really a bold move.

The position of the Holy Lord was the highest in the Taiyi Holy Land. Even though the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, it was still an immortal Holy Land. It had unfathomable reserves, which made countless people fight for the position.

Now, to think the Taiyi Holy Lord was willing to give it up. Only a bold and magnanimous person could do that.

However, those who understood the Holy Land’s situation all knew that the Taiyi Holy Lord’s decision was very wise.

The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. If a Venerable became the Holy Lord, they might be able to break the current situation and lead the Taiyi Holy Land to its revival.

Even if they couldn’t, if news of a Venerable being the Holy Lord got out, the other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties would have to think twice before targeting the Taiyi Holy Land, even if there was an Emperor relic in it.

After all, not everyone was willing to offend a Venerable.

Qin Chen was also slightly taken aback. He didn’t expect that The Taiyi Holy Lord would give up his position. However, he wasn’t tempted by the position of the Holy Lord, which was enough to make countless people in the Holy Land fight to the death, to the point even Zhao Yi was demonized.

He shook his head and said, “No, I’m used to being free. You’ve been the Holy Lord for so many years and have been responsible for the Holy Land, so you’re quite suitable for the position. Or, you can choose another capable person.”

Although they knew that it was unlikely for Qin Chen to become the Holy Lord, the elders were still disappointed to hear his refusal.

“Since senior doesn’t want to be the Holy Lord, then please be the Elder King,” The Holy Lord said, “The Elder King has power no less than the Holy Lord’s, and can even impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders at important times. On the other hand, you wouldn’t have to deal with major and complicated affairs while still receiving many offerings from the Holy Land. ”
