Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

"Why is it related to the Reincarnation God Ruins?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled and confused.

Li Qingyi, who was beside him, also didn’t know much, and now, hearing Su Chan’s words, she looked towards her curiously as well.

Even Qing Huo, who was nearby, showed a hint of confusion.

The Reincarnation God Ruins were an extremely important place among the Four Great Spirit Realms.

Were they about to open?

The Reincarnation God Ruins were incredibly ancient, existing even before Ancient Times and the Primordial Ancient.

The sole purpose of the existence of the Reincarnation God Ruins was to provide the opportunity to ascend to godhood.

Back in Ancient Times, when the Divine Realm and the Spirit Realm had not been completely separated, many people had obtained the chance to become gods in the Reincarnation God Ruins.

Although the Divine Realm had since become utterly isolated from other realms, many people still wished to give it a try.

Even if one didn’t ascend to godhood, becoming an incomparable Immortal Emperor posed no problem at all.

Thus, many powers would send their geniuses into the Reincarnation God Ruins to seize the chance that belonged to them.

But what did this have to do with the inheritance of the capital city of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty?

Xu Ping’an was also filled with confusion.

Seeing that all three of them were looking at her, Su Chan no longer held back and began to explain, "This time, the imperial inheritance isn’t an actual object or any resources but a segment of an ancient recording from Ancient Times."

"A recording from Ancient Times?" Xu Ping’an asked, somewhat astonished.

"That’s right, it’s said to be related to the secrets of the Reincarnation God Ruins, so this festival’s inheritance is extremely important. Ping’an, you should have passed the trials of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and it won’t be long before you enter the Spirit Realm and the Reincarnation God Ruins, so this ancient recording is extremely significant," Su Chan said.

An ancient recording with massive secrets?

This time, Xu Ping’an indeed became interested.

He hadn’t been very interested in the inheritance before.

Not to mention the Immortal Emperor’s, even the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance didn’t spark much interest in him.

For him at this stage, cultivation techniques and combat techniques were something he didn’t lack; the only thing he lacked was resources.

An inheritance of this sort didn’t mean much to him.

But an ancient recording containing vast secrets, this was indeed an excellent inheritance.

One must know that this kind of inheritance was usually known only to those who viewed it. Afterwards, due to the prohibitive seals, the viewer wouldn’t be able to speak of its contents.

So, only the viewer would know the content of the recording.

The value of such a significant record could not be measured against ordinary treasures and inherited cultivation techniques.

"As for what kind of recording it is, I’m not too clear either, but it’s said to be very important," continued Su Chan.

"In that case, I really should take a look." Xu Ping’an nodded.

After returning from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty this time, he was to head for the Spirit Realm and would definitely enter the Reincarnation God Ruins.

Therefore, information about this recording was very important to him.

"Which powers will attend the festival this time?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Many powers will participate in the festival this time; not to mention the powers within the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty, envoys from the other three Immortal Dynasties will come. Among them, the five major powers, the Imperial Academy, Earth Divine Sect, and Tianlong Hall will be present. Additionally, there will be some from Heaven Beyond Heavens," Su Chan replied.

Xu Ping’an furrowed his brows and sighed, "There really are quite a few forces coming."

Most of these forces had enmity with him, and if they were to learn of his identity, he would likely encounter no small trouble.

"What about the Four Great Spirit Realms?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"The Four Great Spirit Realms will basically also send envoys," Su Chan said.

Xu Ping’an was slightly surprised.

"So many powers have gathered, beyond attending the event, there must be other objectives, right?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Correct, it’s said to be because of an item, which will be auctioned at the festival. As for what it is, I’m not sure either," Su Chan said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but be astonished.

It seemed that he was right in his thinking; there must be something important about this festival.

Otherwise, these forces would not have sent so many powerful figures here.

"Ping’an, you must be more careful in the future. Don’t let anyone discover your identity," Su Chan said with some worry.

"Don’t worry; I will stay in the Lieyang Royal Mansion for the next two days. You two should not come to look for me during these two days either, so as not to arouse suspicion," Xu Ping’an stated.

"Alright," Su Chan and Li Qingyi nodded in unison.

Although they both very much wanted to stay with Xu Ping’an, they also knew that, for his safety, they could not appear so easily.

"You go ahead. I have some things to discuss with Elder Qing Huo," Xu Ping’an told Li Qingyi and Su Chan.

Both were somewhat surprised but agreed nonetheless.

Next, the two flew in the direction of the Fire Divine Palace.

Qing Huo raised her eyebrows, looking at Xu Ping’an in surprise.

She clearly had not expected Xu Ping’an to ask her to stay behind alone.

"Keeping me alone here, aren’t you afraid your two little girlfriends will be jealous, or have you decided that you want to engage in dual cultivation with me?" Qing Huo said teasingly.

Xu Ping’an was in no mood for jokes with Qing Huo. He looked at her and said, "I know what you’re after. Your goal is to restore the Phoenix Clan, even to restore the entire Primordial Ancient Demon Court, am I right?"

Hearing Xu Ping’an’s words, Qing Huo was somewhat astonished.

"I don’t have such big ambitions. Restoring the Primordial Ancient Demon Court, do you think that’s possible?" Qing Huo laughed lightly, not admitting to it.

"Whether you admit it or not, I just want to say, I can help you, help you rebuild the Primordial Ancient Demon Court," Xu Ping’an offered.

"You help me rebuild the Primordial Ancient Demon Court? You, a member of the Human Race? Why should I believe you?" Qing Huo smiled as she spoke.

Xu Ping’an wasted no words and directly took out an item.

"Do you recognize this zither?" Xu Ping’an produced the Feng Xueqin.

Upon seeing the Feng Xueqin, Qing Huo’s face instantly changed.

"How do you have this?" Qing Huo asked in surprise.

"Not only do I have this, but I have also entered the Bronze Demon Palace, seen the Demon Empress’s Soul Mark, and she has asked me to do some things for her," Xu Ping’an said.

"Seen the ancestor’s Soul Mark?" Qing Huo immediately became shocked.

She knew that what Xu Ping’an was saying was true.

Others might not know, but she was clear that the Feng Xueqin was the control center of the ancestors’ Bronze Demon Palace.

So, Xu Ping’an possessing the Feng Xueqin likely meant he had indeed seen the ancestor.

Could it be that he was the one chosen by the ancestor?

"What do you want me to do?" Qing Huo asked.

She knew Xu Ping’an had a purpose in telling her all this.

"Help me. I’m afraid someone will make a move against me during this scripture revelation. I need you to stand by my side, and you must also ensure Qingyi’s safety," Xu Ping’an said.

"Qingyi’s safety doesn’t need your concern; I will naturally protect her. However, taking action for you during the scripture revelation might be difficult. The number of people you’ve offended is not small, and you’re aware of that," Qing Huo stated.

"I know that. At that time, you just need to block one or two enemies for me—of course, I may not necessarily be exposed," Xu Ping’an said.

Hearing this, Qing Huo hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.

"Fine, I agree. But you’ll have to lend me this Feng Xueqin," Qing Huo stated.

"It’s yours to keep, as it originally belongs to your Phoenix Clan," Xu Ping’an said.

Upon hearing this, Qing Huo was somewhat surprised.

Xu Ping’an had given her the Feng Xueqin outright?

Could it be that he did not know this item could control the entire Bronze Immortal Hall?

"I’ve said all that needed to be said; with that, I’ll take my leave," Xu Ping’an said.

After speaking, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

Qing Huo, however, looked in the direction where Xu Ping’an had disappeared, seemingly contemplating something. Finally, she packed up the Feng Xueqin and flew away into the sky.
