3390: C3390 Who the Hell Are You?

C3390 Who the Hell Are You?

Elder Peng instantly appeared outside the pavilion. He looked at the space in front of him and in the next moment, a white clothed figure appeared. A faint smile hung on his handsome face.

"Elder Peng." Looking at the old man in front of him, Qin Xuan greeted him with a smile. He didn't seem surprised that Elder Peng had appeared here in advance.

At this moment, Elder Peng's eyes were fixed on Qin Xuan's figure. Given his strength... With just a single glance, he could tell that Qin Xuan's cultivation base had already reached the peak of upper grade Heavenly Sovereign realm. Even though he had experienced countless of major events, his heart was still in turmoil.

In just four years, he had broken through from the peak of middle-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm to the peak of high-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm. This cultivation speed was simply astounding. In his memories, no one in the entire God Realm had ever done it. Even the most monstrous figures of those ancient powers in the Nine Clarities Sky... It was impossible.

The difference between a middle-grade Heavenly Sovereign and a high-grade Heavenly Sovereign might seem like a single word, but the actual difference between them was like heaven and earth. Even peerless evildoer would need at least a hundred years to break through. It was unbelievable that Qin Xuan could break through to the next realm within four years.

However, Elder Peng was a peerless expert after all. He calmed down very quickly. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Qin Xuan to reach his current realm so quickly, unless... he received external help.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at Qin Xuan with an especially serious expression. He asked slowly, "How many inheritances did you obtain?"

Seeing the seriousness on Elder Peng's face, the smile on Qin Xuan's face gradually disappeared. He replied truthfully, "Four."

Hearing Qin Xuan's answer, Elder Peng's cloudy eyes immediately released a dazzling light. His usually calm face was filled with excitement, revealing his current mood.

After Qin Xuan entered the ancient palace, he had indeed considered whether Qin Xuan could obtain the fourth inheritance. In the end, he denied this possibility. It wasn't that he had underestimated Qin Xuan's talent. It was because he knew better than anyone what the fourth inheritance meant.

The fourth inheritance was prepared by the Demon Lord for his successor. No matter how strong the other geniuses were, they wouldn't have the chance to obtain it.

Although Qin Xuan had obtained the recognition of the Demon Lord in the previous test, he had a close relationship with the Demon God Palace. Given the Demon Lord's style of conduct, he shouldn't be nurtured as his successor.

But now, it seemed like his guess was wrong.

The Demon Lord had chosen Qin Xuan.

Although his guess was wrong, he was very happy in his heart. Firstly, the Demon Lord had finally chosen his successor, and secondly, this successor was the number one monstrous genius of the Divine World. It was foreseeable that a peerless expert would be born in the Undying divine mountain in the future. At that time, his status would definitely be higher than it was now.

Qin Xuan naturally didn't know what Elder Peng was thinking. However, he could keenly sense that Elder Peng's gaze had changed several times. First, it was filled with shock, then joy, and now, it was filled with anticipation. This made him somewhat confused.

Just as Qin Xuan was about to break the silence, Elder Peng spoke first. "Can you tell me what the fourth inheritance of the Demon Lord is?"

"Haha, after all, I was only a step away from it. I have always been curious about the fourth inheritance."

Qin Xuan's facial expression changed. He sighed in his heart. If Elder Peng knew what the fourth inheritance was, he would surely feel very sad.

However, he didn't intend to hide it from Elder Peng. Elder Peng was the current ruler of the Undying divine mountain. He had the right to know the inside story.

"The fourth inheritance is the heart of the Demon Lord."

Elder Peng was startled when he heard Qin Xuan's voice. Then, his facial expression froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stared at Qin Xuan with a blank expression, as if he had lost his ability to think.

"Say it again." A moment later, Elder Peng spat out a hoarse voice. His facial expression looked incomparably serious.

Qin Xuan looked directly into Elder Peng's eyes. Without any hesitation, he spoke again, "It's the heart of the Demon Lord."

"Boom!"

As soon as Qin Xuan's voice faded, an incomparably terrifying pressure erupted from Elder Peng's body. The spatial zone instantly turned into nothingness. Qin Xuan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. His body bent down a lot, but his eyes were still fixed on Elder Peng. There was no resentment in his eyes.

He took away the most important thing to the Demon Lord. Elder Peng would do anything to him.

The pressure released from Elder Peng's body was getting stronger and stronger, causing Qin Xuan's body to bend continuously. He was like a bow fully loaded with strings, but he was still suffering tremendous pain. He didn't make any sound, nor did he resist. He only tried his best to resist the pressure.

Elder Peng didn't say anything. He just stood there and looked at Qin Xuan with a complicated expression.

After a period of time, the pressure suddenly dissipated. Qin Xuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his body. After that, he stood up straight and cupped his hands toward Elder Peng with a grateful expression. "Thank you for showing mercy, senior."

"This is the decision of the Demon Lord. I will support you with all my strength." Elder Peng's tone was much calmer than before. It seemed like he had already made up his mind.2

No one could force the Demon Lord to do anything. The Demon Lord had given his most precious thing to Qin Xuan. It could be seen that Qin Xuan held a great weight in her heart. There was nothing to be angry about.

"The Demon Lord placed his heart into my body unconsciously. It was only when I woke up that I understood everything." Qin Xuan said with a bitter smile. If he knew that the Demon Lord intended to give his heart to him, he would never accept it.

Elder Peng's eyes flickered. He sighed and said, "The Demon Lord knew that you wouldn't accept it, so he attacked directly. This is the Demon Lord's usual way of doing things."

"No one can stop the Demon Lord from doing what he has decided to do."

"Indeed." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. Although the Divine Sense of the Demon Lord of the Land of Heritage was very gentle, its way of doing things was the same as the Demon Lord in the secret realm. It was simple and direct, swift and decisive, and wouldn't give too many explanations.

At this moment, Elder Peng waved his palm, and a powerful force sealed the space. Qin Xuan's expression changed, as he didn't understand what Elder Peng was trying to do.

Elder Peng looked at Qin Xuan and was silent for a moment. Finally, he said, "Ever since you came to the Undying divine mountain, I have felt that you have a secret. It isn't just Void Empyrean Sovereign's descendant. My guess should be correct."

Hearing Elder Peng's words, Qin Xuan's facial expression changed slightly, and he quickly regained his calm.

His identity could be hidden from most people, but Elder Peng had lived for countless years. He was a shrewd man. Now that the Demon Lord had given him his heart, it was normal for Elder Peng to suspect his identity.

After all, Void Empyrean Sovereign's strength was inferior to the Demon Lord's. How could the Demon Lord give his most precious treasure to Void Empyrean Sovereign's successor?

"Senior's guess is correct. I do have some secrets with me." Qin Xuan admitted frankly.

"Who exactly are you?" Elder Peng stared at Qin Xuan. He had previously guessed that Qin Xuan might be the reincarnation of some great figure, but now, he felt that it wasn't the case.

If it was the reincarnation of a great figure, after awakening his memories, he would be able to recover his peak strength sooner or later. It was understandable that the Demon Lord would take care of him, but he would never hand over his heart.

Every great figure had their own path of cultivation. They were unable to fuse with other people's path of cultivation. Forcibly merging them would only destroy their own foundation. Moreover, all great figures were extremely proud and would not accept this kind of 'charity'.

He really could not think of any other possibility other than the reincarnation of a great figure. What other possibility could make the Demon Lord do such a thing for him?
