Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 585 - Under the Moonlight With Someone

After the banquet was over, the invited guests one by one began to come to Qin Shan and bid him farewell. They will also give gifts as a form of gratitude. Although the gifts they gave were not very outstanding to him, but Qin Shan still respected the gifts from the people and accepted them while thanking him.

Some time had passed and now the Palace grounds had become quiet and silent. There was only Qin Shan and a few of his friends who were currently still there. Moreover, the group of the Heaven's Path Academy was also still at that place.

“What makes you have to hold us back from leaving, God Emperor?” jian Mengtian as the Head of the Cross Heaven Academy asked Qin Shan. He feels confused.

In fact, the fact that the Cross Heaven Academy was personally invited by Qin Shan was already a miracle. Jian Mengtian thought that there must be something important that the God Emperor wanted to convey to them.

“The mysterious river of time has brought us to the inevitable change of times. The more geniuses with extraordinary talents were born, the more Heavenly God level experts rose. Knowing that this significant change is happening, I will of course not waste the slightest bit of time.” Qin Shan said as he waved his hand.

In just a split second, a black-robed old man emerged from the space crack beside Qin Shan. This man cupped his hands respectfully then said, “Salam, God Emperor Qinshan. The task you gave me earlier is completely finished.”

This old man was Zhu Yuguang, the trusted servant of the previous God Emperor who was still alive today.

Zhu Yuguang had accompanied Qin Shan for over 400 years since he had received the Crown of Fate. Zhu Yuguang had become a confidant of Qin Shan thanks to her continuing to complete the tasks that Qin Shan had perfectly given her. In addition Zhu Yuguang had also explained many things about the Crown of Fate and what Qin Shan should do as a God Emperor.

“Hm, good. Activate the formation.” Qin Shan said without making small talk.

Zhu Yuguang nodded, then he began to form countless hand seals. The courtyard of the Palace let out a loud thumping and crackling sound, moments after which a dazzling prismatic light shot up into the sky.

An illusionary world was formed, and within here was a vast land with a gigantic stone altar in the center. Everyone who was in the courtyard of the Palace earlier had been moved to this place.

“What is this place?” Jian Mengtian felt astonished and he stared around in astonishment. Inside was a burst of spiritual energy that could not be explained with words. This must be a holy land of cultivation.

Not only Jian Mengtian, over twenty thousand Cross Heaven Academy Students were also shocked at this moment. Just taking a single breath they could feel their bodies being filled with turbulent energy.

“Let me explain. This place was the 'heart' of the Heavenpearl Palace, this place was a holy land of cultivation for anyone who entered. I plan to channel the abundant energy in this place into the outside world once our business is done. So that the city of Heavenpearl will become a real Holy City of cultivation.” Qin Shan explained with a satisfied smile.

This place actually stored as many as hundreds of top-tier spiritual energy vessels, so it was no wonder there would be so much super energy here. In fact, with this amount of spiritual energy vessels alone, Qin Shan could increase the quality of Spiritual Energy throughout the Five Elements Treasure Realm to double. However, he did not do so and would only focus the increase in spiritual energy in Heavenpearl city. After all, this city was the center of the world and would even become the Three Realm Capital in the future.

“But before I channel the spiritual energy inside here to the outside world, I want to give you all a special gift first.” Qin Shan waved his hand and a hundred meter tall stone monument immediately appeared above the Stone Altar.

This stone monument had gold-colored sentence carvings on its surface and the entirety of this stone exuded an aura of incomparable spirituality from the laws of Heaven and Earth.

“This stone monument is the conclusion of the dao insights I accumulated during my lifetime. If you are a true genius, then you will find a great secret hidden in every sentence engraved on this stone monument.” Qin Shan explained with pride to everyone.

Upon hearing the explanation from Qin Shan, everyone in that place immediately sat in the lotus position and tried to understand the dao insights that were on the stone monument. There was no exception for Jian Mengtian, San Jinsheng, and the other friends of Qin Shan. According to them this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the dao insights that the God Emperor possessed.

Qin Shan was doing all of this not without reason, he was actually helping these people to take the path of true cultivation. He added the Nine Paths of Opportunity cultivation technique inside the stone monument hiddenly. He hoped that there would be a genius who could break it and start cultivating it.

“I actually want to teach everyone true cultivation techniques. But if I tell them the harsh reality, I'll bet that the Three Realm will sink into chaos for the last time.” Inner Qin Shan and he hopes a genius he hopes will come one day.

A change that is too sudden is not good for a person, it takes time to accept the change so that there will be no negative impact on it.

Time kept going, it did not feel like half a year had passed since they all entered that illusionary world to cultivate.

Most of them had gained enlightenment and broken through to a higher level of cultivation thanks to the stone monuments. On the other hand, the Heavenly God and Spiritual God had also gained a bit of enlightenment and were able to advance to a higher level. This kindness of Qin Shan they would not forget for their entire lives.

After that cultivation session ended, Zhu Yuguang instantly closed the formation and everyone returned to the Spacious Palace grounds. Qin Shan also let go of his invited guests quickly after realizing a portion of them would level up and summon a tribulation lightning. In just a few hours, the vast Palace grounds now had only two people left, Qin Shan and Zhu Yuguang.

“Your Honor, will the process begin now?” zhu Yuguang asked as he cupped his hands.

“Ya, go. I will take care of it myself this time.” Qin Shan replied and he ordered Zhu Yuguang to leave him alone. Zhu Yuguang greeted him one last time before he disappeared into the space crack.

After being silent for a while Qin Shan started sending his Spiritual Will into the ground. In just a short moment, his Spiritual Will had touched a seal that sealed a top grade Spiritual Energy Vessel. He then released the seal until the Spiritual Energy Vessels within the ground began to spurt out a frightening amount of energy into the air.

Qin Shan continued to do the same to release over a hundred seals that sealed the Spiritual Energy Vessels under the ground of Heavenpearl city.

…

In just the time it took to burn a single stick of incense, the entire city of Heavenpearl had fallen into a tremendous uproar. Especially the Clans and Sects that inhabited the Great Hills, their Patriarchs had already guessed that this event might be caused by a God Emperor.

Then in a giant river that extends from end to end of the other world, Qin Shan is floating above him and staring down with seriousness.

This river does not deserve to be called a river and is more appropriate to be referred to as a sea or ocean.it is because of the width of this river that reaches hundreds of thousands of kilometers. However, because this river runs along half the world, this place is still referred to as a river.

“This place I will make the Forbidden Territory.” Qin Shan muttered and he began to unleash his dao insight and completely reconstruct the region. Chaos energy was added, death aura was spread, The laws supporting the Forbidden Territory had also been applied. This river had surprisingly turned into a first artificial Forbidden Territory in the Five Elements Treasure Realm.

Besides that Qin Shan had also started to set up a supreme grade formation to separate the Forbidden Territory from the outside world. He also created a separate domain in the river for people to enter and explore. Of course the domain had countless traps, arrays, and ferocious monsters.

“Next is to lay out gifts for people who successfully explore this Forbidden Territory.” Qin Shan sent a wide variety of spiritual treasures into it, ranging from low-level to high-level. One of the precious treasures Qin Shan had made a gift from was some Chaos-level equipment.

No matter how valuable the Treasure Qin Shan gave in the Forbidden Territory was, it was nothing but an opening gift. The main prize of the Forbidden Territory was the Stone Monument that contained the highest Dao insights in the Three Realm, as well as a complete copy of the Nine Paths of Opportunity technique!

After adjusting for several months, Qin Shan had finally completed his Forbidden Territory perfectly. He later named this Forbidden Territory as, 'Endless Deadriver'.

After he returned to Heavenpearl Palace, he then asked Zhu Yuguang for help to spread the rumors regarding the appearance of the Forbidden Territory called Endless Deadriver to everyone in the Five Elements Treasure Realm.

That was why it only took less than two years until the Endless Deadriver was filled with cultivators eyeing the precious treasures within.

…

Right now, Qin Shan was at a mountain peak in one of the Heavenpearl regions. A quiet night with the moon hanging above the sky makes the atmosphere more calm and peaceful. Qin Shan was now sinking into the contemplation along with a bottle of Immortal Wine in his hand.

Qin Shan looked up at the sky to look at the moon with his crystal clear eyes. In his heart he thought, “Since when has the world felt so quiet like this?”

Qin Shan vividly remembered that the past was an age of war filled with endless tension and terror, very much different from the present day filled with peace and tranquility. Gradually, this peaceful age may weaken future generations directly or indirectly.

“Now I think the words someone said to me a long time ago are the truth. Without any trials and obstacles, one would find it difficult to go any further.” Qin Shan muttered while chugging his Immortal Wine to the very end.

From behind the darkness, appeared a black-robed woman who was heading towards Qin Shan. The way it walked was very graceful and beautiful, its figure under the moonlight was like a figure of Goddess Chang'e who descended to Earth.

“Qinshan, what are you doing alone in this place?” ask the woman in a soft voice.

Qin Shan turned his head towards the woman and slightly smiled as he said, “Yaoren, isn't it not good to stalk someone to this extent?”

The black-robed lady was of course Yu Yaoren who had accompanied Qin Shan for a long period of time. Compared to her 500 years ago, Yu Yaoren has now become a woman whose beauty can make a person fall in love in just one glance. Her beautiful parasites could not be expressed in words, compared to Ling Yue perhaps Yu Yaoren was slightly superior thanks to her two lush-growing mountains.

Yu Yaoren chuckled as he approached Qin Shan and hugged him from behind. He pressed Qin Shan's back with his breast so as to make Qin Shan feel uneasy.

'Why do I feel guilty about something.' Qin Shan could faintly smell the fragrant scent of Yu Yaoren's extremely alluring body. He could barely contain himself and was about to betray Ling Yue, fortunately that was not the case.

“How many times have I said this to you, you have always not taken it seriously. Is it because of your wife?” asked Yu Yaoren who was leaning on Qin Shan's back.

“Say what?” Qin Shan asked back and he felt bad about this.

“I love you, please take me, Qinshan.” Yu Yaoren said while hiding her face behind her long and beautiful hair.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shan felt that he was going crazy. He had often heard these words from Yu Yaoren many years ago. However, this time he added the words "please take me" in his sentence. What the hell does that mean?

Realizing that Qin Shan did not want to answer him, Yu Yaoren became a little annoyed. How much effort had he put into obtaining Qin Shan's heart, yet this man did not even notice him at all.

Since Qin Shan kept silent and said nothing, Yu Yaoren became even more annoyed and he said, “If you don't want to have me, then just make me your concubine!”

This time Qin Shan's ears moved and he immediately looked back when he heard this. “What?”

….
