"Xiao Qian, why are you looking so serious?" In the room of the small courtyard, Lin Qian and Ye Xin sat across from each other at the table.
At this moment, Lin Qian's expression was solemn, as if he were about to make an important decision.
"Aren't you curious about what's been happening to me?" After a moment, Lin Qian asked with a hint of curiosity.
Ye Xin propped her chin on her hands, looking at Lin Qian with a gentle smile. "Of course, I'm curious."
"Then why haven't you asked me?"
"Because I trust that when you're ready to tell me, you'll explain everything clearly."
Seeing Ye Xin's gentle smile, Lin Qian lowered his head and smiled. "Xin'er, you're still the same as always, never changing."
Ye Xin just smiled quietly, watching Lin Qian. She knew that he was about to share something important with her.
"A lot of things are too complicated to explain, but what I can tell you is that I'm now the emperor of a vast empire, and I can maintain a connection with this empire. In fact, I can return to that empire at any time."
"And of course, you are the empress of this empire. However, for certain reasons, I can't bring you there with me just yet."
Lin Qian regretted this fact. After testing, he realized he still couldn't bring living beings into the Huaxia Empire. Otherwise, he would have taken Ye Xin there to see it for herself.
"An emperor of an empire? No wonder those people you summoned call you 'Your Majesty' and refer to me as the 'Empress.'" Ye Xin suddenly understood, her eyes filled with curiosity. "It seems Xiao Qian has encountered something truly extraordinary."
Lin Qian nodded silently. Seeing that Ye Xin wasn't reacting negatively, he felt a sense of relief.
In his view, things like reincarnation, transmigration, and resurrecting a game empire were far too shocking. Such secrets were best kept hidden.
As it stood now, letting others believe that his miraculous abilities came from some mysterious inheritance was the safest explanation.
Then, Lin Qian waved his hand, and three crystal bottles appeared on the table, each containing a different-colored liquid.
Beside the three crystal bottles was a book titled Starlight Art. This cultivation method had been specially designed for Ye Xin by the Heavenly Works Department, tailored to her unique situation.
"What are these?" Ye Xin blinked in curiosity at the items on the table.
"These three potions will make you immune to all poisons, while also refining your body, meridians, and dantian."
"As for this cultivation method, it was created by the chancellor of my Huaxia Empire, who led the Heavenly Works Department to tailor it specifically for you. Make sure not to let anyone else know about it."
After Lin Qian finished speaking, Ye Xin stared in amazement at the items on the table. She hadn't expected them to be so miraculous.
Then, Ye Xin picked up the Starlight Art and began to read through it carefully, growing more and more astonished as she went.
She had once believed that her current cultivation method, the Starlight Sword Art, was the most suitable for her. However, after reading the Starlight Art that Lin Qian had given her, she realized how laughable her previous thoughts had been.
Ye Xin was confident that once she began cultivating the Starlight Art, her strength would increase severalfold, and her cultivation speed would reach an entirely new level.
"Xiao Qian, this cultivation method is truly..." Ye Xin looked up at Lin Qian with excitement after finishing the book.
"My empress can't be too weak," Lin Qian said with a smile, seeing Ye Xin's excitement. "With the rich spiritual energy here, take your time to cultivate well. And don't forget to take the potions."
Ye Xin nodded firmly, her eyes filled with anticipation as she gazed at the cultivation method and the potions.
Soon after, Ye Xin took the potions Lin Qian had given her and entered seclusion to comprehend the Starlight Art.
Switching to a new cultivation method and transforming her energy would take some time, and Ye Xin also planned to use this opportunity to consolidate her cultivation.
After seeing Ye Xin enter her cultivation, Lin Qian, with nothing else to do, decided to pay a visit to Zhang Juncheng.
"You want to spar with me?" Zhang Juncheng looked surprised when he heard Lin Qian's request.
He had been recovering by taking pills when Lin Qian suddenly approached him, asking for a favor. Zhang Juncheng hadn't expected this to be the favor.
"Yes. Senior Zhang, as a powerful figure from ancient times and a sect leader, your combat experience must be extraordinary. If I could spar with you and receive your guidance, I'm sure my combat abilities would improve rapidly," Lin Qian explained, sincerely requesting Zhang Juncheng's help.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Juncheng smiled and nodded, "Young friend, I don't mind helping you with this."
Though sparring with Lin Qian would delay his recovery, Zhang Juncheng couldn't refuse after everything Lin Qian had done for him. After all, Lin Qian had given him the essence of a powerful alien like Nan Xin, something of immense value that he could have kept for himself.
Not to mention, Lin Qian had saved his life and avenged the Dang Yuan Sect.
"Then, Senior, I apologize in advance!" Lin Qian's eyes sharpened as he unleashed his red-gold lightning soul power, charging toward Zhang Juncheng.
The sound of thunder echoed through the second-layer underground space as Lin Qian surged forward, stirring up fierce winds that swept in all directions, even causing Zhang Juncheng's long hair to flutter.
Bang!
Before Lin Qian could even react, a heavy blow struck his chest, sending him flying backward. He crashed to the ground, bounced a few times, and finally rolled to a stop.
Cough, cough! Lin Qian clutched his chest, coughing violently as he stood up, looking at Zhang Juncheng with shock.
Zhang Juncheng, observing Lin Qian get back on his feet, looked slightly surprised. "Young friend, your physical resilience is quite impressive. However, your attack just now left too many openings."
"No matter what, always stay vigilant during movement, ensuring that if you are attacked, you can immediately defend or counterattack."
Zhang Juncheng's advice made Lin Qian smile wryly. He nodded silently, feeling deeply shaken. "As expected of a powerful figure from ancient times, far stronger than my master."
"Young friend, why not go all out? That way, I can better help you improve," Zhang Juncheng suggested with a smile. "Even though I haven't fully recovered, it's unlikely that you'll be able to injure me."
Lin Qian massaged his chest and took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious as he looked at Zhang Juncheng. "I understand, Senior Zhang!"
All out?
Lin Qian felt a hint of excitement. Ever since the Huaxia Empire had reappeared and his martial soul had awakened, he hadn't had the chance to go all out.
Emperor, Thunder, and Frost—three types of soul power!
A fivefold enhancement of both physical and soul power!
Double artifact armament!
What kind of power would it unleash if he gave it his all?
