Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

"Boom!"

At this moment, inside Qin Chuan's body, it was like a heaven-shattering, earth-cracking event. It was as if heaven and earth had completely awakened, gaining life.

His small world had fully formed.

It transformed into a real small world, no longer like a mere painting, but truly with mountains and waters, where grass and trees grew.

All things could survive within it.

The small world was endowed with a soul.

This is the hallmark of a quasi-emperor, and the quasi-emperor is divided into nine heavenly layers, which is the constant expansion process of the internal small world.

The small world is the source of power for a quasi-emperor. The bigger the small world, the stronger the quasi-emperor's power. When the small world expands to its limit, "Martial Fortune" will be born. When the quasi-emperor integrates Martial Fortune, they can become a Martial Emperor!

By then.

Every move will trigger the great momentum of the world and even mobilize many Great Daos of the world, possessing immense power.

In the blink of an eye!

As the pressure was about to crush Qin Zi, Qin Chuan intervened. It was also a pressure, crushing hard against it.

"Bang——"

The pressure of that quasi-emperor immediately dissipated, like golden mist blown away by a strong wind. Moreover, the black clouds in the sky were torn apart!

"Who is it?!"

The quasi-emperor raged furiously.

"Scram."

Qin Chuan didn't show himself, merely spat out a word softly, his voice hoarse like an elder.

The quasi-emperor was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting someone to be so domineering, directly telling him to scram.

Then, he coldly asked:

"I wonder which strong presence is here, is it from the Human Race or the Demon Race?"

"I told you to scram; where's all this nonsense coming from?"

Qin Chuan said softly.

"A coward hiding your head, how dare you be so arrogant, do you dare to come out and fight me!"

The quasi-emperor scolded.

"You're right in front of me, and you can't even see me, yet have the nerve to say you'll fight me?"

Qin Chuan chuckled coldly, saying softly: "Do you... deserve it?"

Boom!

At this, the Demon Race quasi-emperor was utterly furious, releasing a massive divine thought, scanning the surrounding thousands of miles, even the underground seemed scourged thoroughly.

However... nothing was found.

Instantly, the quasi-emperor's face turned dark and he began to feel a sense of unease.

He seemed to have hit iron now!

"Humph, I don't care who you are, I'll remember this account today!"

The quasi-emperor, weighing his options, spouted some tough talk as a form of face-saving, then prepared to retreat.

However, Qin Chuan said softly: "Did I say you could leave?"

The quasi-emperor roared: "Do not push people too far, if I fight to the death, you too will be critically injured if not dead!"

"That may not be the case."

Qin Chuan said leisurely.

Instantly, the quasi-emperor's face turned from red to white.

He knew, he surely couldn't win against this person—without even being able to find them, how could he win!

Moreover, from the previous opposing pressure, he could feel that the other's power was definitely above his, it wasn't just a bluff.

He hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he swallowed the humiliation, stiffly asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"I want... you to die!"

In the next moment, a huge black vortex appeared in the sky, and then, a large golden hand reached out from the vortex.

This hand, like an eagle catching a chick, reached for the Demon Race quasi-emperor.

"Whoosh!"

A large mass of black clouds surged towards the hand, it seemed to turn into a black hole, capable of swallowing everything.

"Killing me won't be that easy!"

The quasi-emperor roared, exploding with a blood-red glow, increasing his speed tenfold as he flew into the distance.

"Heh, do you think you can escape?"

Qin Chuan sneered coldly.

In the next moment, a vast golden sun slowly rose from the horizon, occupying half of it from left to right!

And the quasi-emperor, as if seeking his own death, directly rushed into that golden sun.

"Ah——"

A horrific scream came from inside, it seemed like a figure struggling in the golden sun, waves rippled, just like someone flailing in lava.

Soon, the screams disappeared, and the sun slowly dissipated.

"Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture?!"

Qin Zi's eyes widened, his blood boiled, and he shouted with surprise: "Dad!!!"

It must be Dad!

Because his father alone possessed the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture, and besides him, it seemed unlikely any other powerful existence would intervene to save him in such a situation.

Yet, there was no response in the sky.

"Dad, stop pretending, I know it's you!"

Qin Zi chuckled.

"Impudent! Are you insulting this old man?!"

At this moment, an elderly voice rang out, seeming to issue a wrathful rebuke after a brief moment of shock.

Qin Zi's smile froze.

The old voice continued rebuking:

"This old man has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, my descendants have spanned hundreds of generations, how could I have such a young son as you, are you saying I do not respect the old?"

Qin Zi was dumbfounded by these words.

This elderly tone carried more shame and anger than it seemed capable of feigning, it was akin to an old scholar, who valued his reputation, being falsely accused of "inappropriate relations" and wanting to fight back.

Qin Zi took a deep breath, carefully asked: "Then, may I ask the senior's identity, and why you chose to save me?"

The old voice fell silent for a moment.

Then sighed: "Forget it, forget it, now that things have come to this, there's no harm in telling you."

"Actually, this old man is from the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, an elder of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, currently assessing you."

"What?!"

Qin Zi's eyes widened, suddenly becoming tense.

Because his master had said that practicing the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture, if found by someone from the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, would most likely bring trouble.

He might even be hunted down!!

But upon considering that the other had saved him, and mentioned the word "assessment", he relaxed slightly.

"May I ask, senior, what kind of assessment is this, and when did you start assessing me?"

He respectfully asked.

"You used the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture at Purple Cloud Academy, someone secretly informed us. As for who it was, you needn't inquire, the old man won't tell you either."

The elderly voice said.

"Could it be the Lu Family?!"

Qin Zi immediately thought of the Lu Family, as only they were enemies with him, and powerful enough to have contact with a force like the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace.

"The identity is not important."

The elderly voice said softly, but did not deny it, indirectly placing the blame on the Lu Family.

The voice continued:

"Upon receiving the message, the Imperial Palace sent me to assess you, because anyone outside of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace practicing the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture would face two options."

"One is direct elimination, the other is assessment. If the assessment is passed, one could be recruited into the Imperial Palace as a Divine Son candidate."

Qin Zi asked: "And if the assessment isn't passed?"

The elderly voice said harshly: "Naturally... they would be eliminated!"

Hearing this, Qin Zi felt chills all over.

He shook his head, came to his senses, and asked urgently: "May I ask if I've currently passed the assessment, senior?"

The elderly voice responded softly:

"This assessment requires a long time, and evaluates many aspects such as cultivation speed, comprehension, combat power, intelligence in the face of danger, calmness, character, etc..."

"So far, your performance has been quite good, and there is hope for you to pass the assessment and join the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zi let out a sigh of relief.

At least his life was temporarily safe, and it seemed... he now had a powerful mysterious guardian!

Thinking of this, he eagerly asked:

"Senior, I am currently in the Broken Star Demon Realm, facing the constant threat of death, could you take me back to the Purple Cloud Domain?"

The elderly voice sneered:

"Heh, this is also part of the assessment. Unless a quasi-emperor acts against you, I won't save you from other dangers."

"If you can't even make it through this trial... then you don't deserve to be a candidate divine son of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, it's only fitting if you die!"
