Chapter 827 - 681: Arrangements, Heading to the Sea of Hope
What is the next step?
Upon hearing these words, Qin An immediately felt a sense of doubt in his heart.
Where is the Sea of Hope? He needs to find Emperor Xuanwu to ask clearly.
But Qin An knew that even if he found Emperor Xuanwu, it was unlikely that Emperor Xuanwu would know what to do after finding the Sea of Hope.
However, the elder in front of him mentioned follow-up matters, and Qin An patiently waited to listen to the elder’s next words.
After a brief pause, the elder said, "The Sea of Hope gathers the power of many worlds. These forces come from worlds destroyed by the Heavenly Demons, among which remain people like old me, who retained the power of the Heavenly Demons when they were destroyed."
"If you can communicate with the remnant forces of those various worlds in the Sea of Hope and build a wall, you can block the descent of the Heavenly Demons. You will also gain a lot of time to develop yourself to fight against those powerful Heavenly Demons."
After hearing this, astonishment was evident in Qin An’s eyes.
Even he did not expect that the so-called Sea of Hope was composed of numerous destroyed worlds.
But he also caught some meaning, the so-called Sea of Hope, with the word ’hope’ attached.
Perhaps it carries the wishes of those destroyed worlds, to find hope in despair, to completely destroy those Heavenly Demons so that other worlds will no longer endure terrifying destruction.
Qin An nodded and cupped his fists, saying, "In that case, I shall take my leave first. I will find masters of the Celestial Human Realm as soon as possible to ask clearly where this so-called Sea of Hope is."
Upon hearing this, the elder nodded, then coughed violently, his wound tearing open again, soaking his clothes with blood.
Seeing this, Qin An frowned and asked, "Senior, are you alright?"
This appearance looked really too miserable, even an ordinary person could tell that the elder was in bad condition at the moment.
The elder shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "It’s nothing too serious, I know my own condition, nothing more than enduring the erosion of the power of the Heavenly Demons here, getting closer to the end."
"But I can persevere. As long as I can continue to persevere, I can see the arrival of victory. I want to see with my own eyes those Heavenly Demons meet their doom."
After saying this, a strong sense of hatred emanated from the elder’s body, sweeping through this place like a tornado.
Qin An could very well understand the hatred in the elder, after all, his homeland was destroyed for no reason, those closest and dearest to him, and everyone he knew turned into endless ashes, only a few were left struggling to survive.
Anyone would find it unacceptable, this is even more despairing than the extermination of an entire family.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that the elder would have such earth-shattering hatred.
The elder coughed a few more times, then waved the cane in his hand, saying, "Sir, since you already know, then I will send you back. You have just broken through to the Manifest Saint Realm, and you should have been noticed by the Heavenly Demons, your aura locked on."
"I secretly brought you in and can’t sustain it for too long, otherwise the Heavenly Demons will follow the aura here and destroy your soul."
Qin An said nothing more, implying that he agreed with the elder’s method.
The elder stopped dilly-dallying, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his cane, sweeping Qin An away.
Immediately afterward, Qin An felt the scenery around him begin to change gradually, from clear to blurred.
When all the scenery returned to normal, Qin An opened his eyes.
He found himself back in the room, the surroundings familiar, no longer in that mysterious space.
However, the feeling of being locked on by someone still existed, and if carefully sensed, this gaze carried a terrifying pressure.
"Indeed, it is constantly locking onto me, but what can you do?"
Qin An sneered in his heart, stopped thinking about it, left the room, and walked toward Emperor Xuanwu’s location.
...
Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xuanwu leaned wearily on the chair, looking older.
He was hurrying to handle affairs.
Recently, he expended a great deal of heart power every day to handle various matters and was constantly observing whether the strength of the Great Qin Country had undergone a qualitative leap.
Therefore, for him, this period was more exhausting than before, but it was rewarding.
With fewer demon pseudo-gods and forbidden area issues, the cultivators of the Daqian Kingdom could wholeheartedly train, bringing significant results, and the national strength was steadily rising at a visible speed.
Emperor Xuanwu speculated that in a while, it could reach a higher level than before.
"If you could give me a little more time," Emperor Xuanwu thought, clenching his fist, "I could develop the Daqian Kingdom into an unrivaled flourishing world, and even if the Heavenly Demons descend, I have the confidence to fight them."
While thinking this, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Shortly afterward, the elderly eunuch opened the door slightly, bowed slightly, and reported.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is here to visit, saying he has important news to communicate with Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuanwu was slightly taken aback, came to his senses, and said, "Let him in."
He knew that recently, Qin An had been in seclusion, lingering daily in the palace’s Library.
