Chapter 380 Son of the Great Emperor
```
Qinchuan was destined to become famous throughout Tianqing City and Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom today.
Several months ago, although he had outshone everyone at the Dao Lecture Conference, overshadowing the White Immortal Lady and winning over numerous Saint Heirs from various Sect Holy Lands, at that time, very few people attended the Dao Lecture Conference, and Qinchuan's fame was only circulated among a few cultivators in Tianqing City.
But today.
Countless cultivators in Tianqing City were waiting for the results of the competition between Tianyuan and Taiyuan, and they witnessed Qinchuan's heroic deed with their own eyes.
He first leaped up to the Divine Pillar that, for countless years, no one dared to ascend nor had the ability to; using the two dragon heads of the Divine Pillar, he performed alchemy.
His alchemy technique was exotic and profound, and everyone thought it impossible to achieve Pill Concoction, yet he actually managed to produce an elixir, and this elixir even attracted a Heavenly Tribulation.
What was even more unexpected, his Divine Cauldron actually scared away the Heavenly Tribulation, resolving a tribulation and preserving that mysterious elixir.
Each of these events exceeded the comprehension of many cultivators, shattering everyone's bottom line.
Even Li Gong, the current King of Xiping, found himself unable to stay calm at this time, staring at Qinchuan in shock.
Turning to Li Zhi beside him, he asked, "Zhi'er, this cultivator you brought here, who exactly is he?"
With Li Gong asking such a question, Third Prince Li Shu, as well as Fu Lin from Taiyuan Ancient Country and Dongfang Zhen, all pricked up their ears, eager to know the truth.
Li Zhi thought of the mysterious killing intent that suddenly burst out from Qinchuan that day in the Exquisite Pavilion, instinctively feeling chills.
Taking a deep breath and glancing around, he bowed and respectfully replied, "Reporting to my uncle, Young Master Qin's identity is a mystery. He appeared out of nowhere in Tianqing City half a year ago, wearing a Congyun Sect identification plaque at his waist, and by his side, followed Ye Xuanji, the sage who had rejected our Imperial Family's lineage."
After that one encounter, I dispatched people to Congyun Sect to inquire about news, even meeting Cloud Sect's Sect Leader Wu Tian, but Wu Tian of the Cloud Sect seemed quite wary of Qin and did not reveal a thing," Li Zhi continued.
At this point, Li Gong's expression was composed, his eyes showing a few indescribable sparkles, as he pondered over something.
He murmured softly, "Appearing out of the blue? Congyun Sect? Ye Xuanji?"
"Neither the Congyun Sect nor Ye Xuanji could possibly cultivate such a heaven-defying being."
Li Zhi quietly nodded, then suddenly lowered his volume and continued, "Uncle is wise, indeed Young Master Qin isn't simply the Saint Heir of Congyun Sect as he appears.
Although I failed to find out Young Master Qin's identity from the Cloud Sect, I inadvertently came across a piece of information."
"What information?" Li Gong and the others sparked with eagerness in their eyes.
Lowering his voice a bit more, Li Zhi whispered, "Young Master Qin is the son of a Great Emperor."
"The offspring of a Great Emperor?"
Li Gong paused, clearly not catching on, he asked back.
"Not the offspring, but the son of a Great Emperor!"
Li Zhi corrected Li Gong's mistake.
Though Li Zhi's voice was very soft, everyone present was a cultivator, so despite the low volume, they all heard him clearly.
Upon hearing his words, everyone drew a sharp breath, making a thunderous noise.
"He's actually the son of a Great Emperor!"
The offspring of a Great Emperor and the son of a Great Emperor were only one word apart, but the information they contained was worlds apart.
To be called the offspring of a Great Emperor means one's ancestors once had a Great Emperor; people like Dongfang Zhen and Gongshan Wu of today can be considered the offspring of a Great Emperor.
```
And the son of a Great Emperor is none other than the Great Emperor's own offspring.
The difference between them is like that between the heavens and the earth. The son of a Great Emperor has access to cultivation resources and magical treasures and divine skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators and the descendants of Great Emperors.
In an instant, all of Qinchuan's heaven-defying deeds of the day seemed to be explained.
At that moment, Li Zhi continued, "The divine beast on Young Master Qin's shoulder is said to have been the war pet of that Great Emperor back in the day. And those divine cauldrons, as well as the numerous alchemy techniques, all originated from the Great Emperor himself."
Li Zhi dared not and could not reveal Qinchuan's true identity, so he told everyone the original thoughts he had had with Chen Baidao, deliberately confusing the crowd.
However, people like Li Gong and Fu Lin appeared to suddenly understand and believed it without doubt.
They had already learned from Fanyao, Li Shu, and others about the terrifying nature of the little bird on Qinchuan's shoulder.
Previously, everyone had wondered why a divine-level fierce beast would obediently follow Qinchuan. Now their doubts were resolved.
After securing the divine cauldron, Qinchuan leaped down from the divine pillar.
Once he returned to the ground, he looked at the massive divine pillar in front of him, and suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, bringing forth an idea.
Next.
He extended his right hand and pressed his palm against the colossal pillar, dozens of feet in diameter.
"What is he doing?"
From a distance, everyone watched Qinchuan's strange action, curious.
As Qinchuan's palm rested on the divine pillar, under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, the once-towering divine pillar suddenly began to shrink in height and girth.
Shortly after, the pillar had reduced to half its original size, its width now only a few meters.
The divine pillar continued to dwindle without any sign of stopping its transformation.
Witnessing this, the cultivators from afar finally realized what Qinchuan intended to do.
They exclaimed in unison, "He wants to take the divine pillar away!"
In no time, the divine pillar was down to seven feet in length and as thick as a wrist.
The divine pillar, once too large for even dozens of cultivators to move, now rested easily in Qinchuan's hand.
Then, with a motion of his palm, the divine pillar was absorbed into the Dao Lotus and disappeared from sight.
This divine pillar had been placed by Qinchuan on the outskirts of the Heavenly Demon Forest years ago, with the purpose of preventing the beings inside from breaking the rules he had set and leaving on their own. It was a prohibition left to warn and deter the divine-level demons.
Now,
the demons in the heart of the Heavenly Demon Forest had either gone to the Divine Territory or perished in battle, leaving the divine pillar without purpose.
He might as well take it with him; in the future, once he found suitable materials, it would be perfect for crafting into a long spear.
The long spear he currently used was still the Mortal Instrument he had brought from Qin's possession. Although it was still serviceable at this stage, it would inevitably become obsolete in the future.
The divine pillar, forged from a blend of millennium cold iron and stellar meteorite, was among the top materials in the Divine Wilderness Continent. Having stood as a sentinel between the Heavenly Demon Forest and Tianqing City for hundreds of thousands of years, it had been purified and naturalized by the demonic qi and spiritual energy, making the Dao Magic and spiritual power within it even more pure.
There could not be a more suitable material for the shaft of a long spear.

Although the people were angry at Qinchuan's appropriation of the divine pillar, remembering that he was the son of a Great Emperor and protected by a divine-level fierce beast, no one dared to challenge him. They could only watch helplessly as Qinchuan took the divine pillar they revered.
