Qin Hao looked at Myōri and shrugged helplessly.
He didn't see his face, just his purple robe. Searching for clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Myōri said calmly, "It doesn't matter. If we meet again, I can recognize him."
Flawless the Great Emperor's aura was particularly special, and there should be very few people in the outside world who had such profound cultivation.
"If senior sister can recognize him, I will thank him."
Qin Hao said. Without this purple-robed Flawless the Great Emperor, Myōri's life would be in danger, and his senior sister would be able to return safely. How could this help be repaid with just a big reward?
"He may not appreciate it."
Myōri said bluntly. Qin Hao froze in place, speechless.
"Senior sister, is there something on your mind?"
Xiao Han put a cloak on Myōri's shoulder and saw that she seemed to have doubts.
Myōri took Xiao Han's hand and let her sit beside her. She took a deep breath and said, "I suspect that Shenghua is not the original body of the evil soul. It may be a doppelganger."
When the Divine Palace was destroyed and the seven peak masters died, her primordial spirit left her body and merged with the Great Path. Although she didn't witness the tragic battle, the cultivation that Shenghua displayed ten days ago was not enough to pose a threat to Megrez. Shenghua couldn't even shake any of the Seven Peaks of the Divine Palace.
But the fact was that the Seven Peaks were all destroyed, and the disciples of the Divine Palace were all wiped out.
"It can't be?"
Zhou Wudao's hair stood on end, and a cold feeling soaked his whole body.
Not only Zhou Wudao, but on the broad snake back of the Nine-headed Fierce Beast, all the disciples' faces were full of panic and shock.
If Myōri's guess was true, it was too terrible. Shenghua alone had made everyone fall into despair. Was it really just a doppelganger?
Qin Hao's heart trembled slightly, and his expression was extremely solemn. Senior sister's guess was not groundless. If Shenghua only had the ability of the Flawless Realm, how could he kill the seven peak masters of Megrez, as well as the chief disciples and elders of the Divine Palace?
"Perhaps my guess wasn't accurate. The Evil Soul Refinement Myriad Spirit Dao Insight might have a flaw in his cultivation that caused his cultivation to degenerate."
Myōri said again. Even a true god would not be able to fully comprehend the Will of Dao that had devoured billions of lives.
Shenghua's extreme cultivation path of annihilation had never appeared before, so no one was sure if his method of using the Evil Spirit Force was correct or not.
"Perhaps."
Qin Hao said.
Unable to completely fuse the Daos of billions of living beings?
Impossible.
The Evil Wind was one of the Nine Elements of the Desolate Era. It was extremely mysterious. The Evil Soul used the Evil Wind to crush all living beings and then fused them together at the root. His method of devouring could not be wrong.
In comparison, Qin Hao believed that it was more likely to be a clone.
It was just that this result … was a little hard to accept.
"In short, when you return to the Mortal World this time, it's best not to mention what happened in the Divine Palace to anyone. Unless it's a matter of life and death, try not to use the Divine Palace Emperor's techniques."
Myōri's dignified gaze swept over the disciples.
The disciples shuddered at the same time and respectfully replied, "We will follow Senior Sister's orders."
This was not a restriction, but Myōri was sincerely doing it for their own good. If Shenghua had another Evil Soul, once their identities were exposed, they would definitely die without a burial place, and many people who escaped would be implicated.
Myōri could not care about other people's lives, but she had to be careful about Qin Hao's safety. He was her only Junior Brother of the Dao Peak. In order to fulfill Eastern Sky's last wish and protect Qin Hao's growth, she would not allow anyone to threaten Qin Hao's safety.
The disciples also had no objections. It was a matter of life and death. Who would not cherish their own life?
As for how to explain it to their families, they could just casually find a reason. They had only been in the Divine Palace for three years. If they came out after three years of cultivation, even if they told their elders, the upper echelons of their families would not believe them.
They could just say that they had lost their way during the voyage … "Senior Sister, what are your plans next?"
Qin Hao asked.
"I will watch over you first. When you step into the Great Emperor Realm, I will return to the family to meet the descendants. I will also make a trip to Qilin Taoist Mountain and do what I can for Eastern Sky."
Myōri replied. Her master was no longer here, and as the eldest sister, she was like a mother. Of course, she had the responsibility to watch over her.
"This …" Qin Hao was speechless.
"Do you have any objections?"
Myōri said in a low voice.
"No … You are indeed my Senior Sister."
Qin Hao shrunk his neck. Even his tone was the same as his two Senior Brothers'. They were indeed close.
"Senior Sister, your hair."
Xiao Han's hand stroked Myōri's hair on her shoulder. He looked at the hair that was gradually turning white in his palm. Moreover, at some point … there were traces of wind and frost on her face. There were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was aging step by step.
"It's just the end of the lifespan. This will happen. Don't be nervous."
Myōri smiled casually.
Qin Hao lowered his head and didn't say anything else.
His Senior Sister entered the Divine Palace before the age of thirty. Even though she kept her Primordial Spirit in an out-of-body state, her actual lifespan was already 1,700 years old. She had indeed reached the limit of the Unblemished Great Emperor Realm. If she couldn't step into the Nirvana Realm soon, she would pass away soon. This was something that even pills couldn't save her.
"Senior Sister, I will listen to you in the future."
Qin Hao lowered his head and said.
Myōri smiled slightly. She slowly raised her gaze and looked at the endless void.
God Realm, God Realm, could transcend reincarnation.
The Divine Palace was the holy land of the mortal world that gave birth to Gods. However, after the Martial Monarch Realm ancestor, there was no more God Realm ascension.
The Peak Venerables of each generation had the supreme belief of becoming a God. It was probably because of this that a monster like Shenghua was born from the fusion of countless Peak Venerables' evil souls.
Another five days passed.
Everyone finally stepped onto the land of the Southern Region and entered the territory of the Proud Northern Divine Nation. The Nine-Headed Snakelet's speed wasn't slow.
And at this moment!
At a port in the northernmost part of Proud Northern God Nation, there were countless soldiers of Li family gathered. Their bearing was solemn, just like statues standing on both sides of the port, silently watching the huge crowd that had just stepped onto the port.
This group of people, the average age was not old, but each of them had an extraordinary temperament. Each of them was extremely outstanding and belonged to the type that was hard to forget after a glance.
This group of people was the disciples of the Divine Palace led by Qin Hao.
"Everyone, since you have come to my Li Family's territory, why don't you let Yaqi do his duty as a host and follow me to the Imperial Capital?
My father will be very happy to see everyone. "
The Seventh Prince of the Proud Northern Divine Nation, Li Yaqi, faced the disciples of the Divine Palace and invited them warmly.
He once had an unforgettable grudge with Qin Hao, but that was all in the past. After experiencing the catastrophe of the Divine Palace, it was not worth mentioning in comparison.
And this group of disciples of the Divine Palace in front of him, any one of them was a proud genius from all over the continent. Not only were they talented, but most of them were direct disciples of princes and emperors. It might not be so obvious when they were in the Divine Palace, but once they returned to the outside world, this network was very strong. Li Yaqi certainly hoped to firmly stabilize this relationship.
"Junior Brother Li … cough cough …" One of them opened his mouth and noticed Myōri's sharp eyes looking at him. His tone suddenly changed and he corrected himself, "Your Highness Yaqi doesn't need to be so polite. After three years of wandering, we are very homesick. There will be plenty of time to visit in the future."
"This … alright."
Li Yaqi could understand. After which, he glanced at Qin Hao as a look of struggle flickered in his eyes. But very quickly, he felt relieved in his heart. "Thanks to Brother Qin for saving my life, all grudges of the past shall be written off. If there's anything you need, just say the word. My Li Clan will definitely be there."
Li Yaqi was very clear about the bad relationship between Qin Hao and the Xuanyuan Clan of the Proud Southern Divine Nation. This time, he came back alive. With Myōri, the Flawless Great Emperor, by his side, the Xuanyuan Clan would suffer.
Their Li Family of the Proud Northern Divine Nation had always been at odds with the Proud Southern Divine Nation. They had always wanted to annex them. It was better to take this opportunity to join forces and remove the Xuanyuan Clan from the Southern Divine Nation.
Qin Hao could hear the hidden meaning in Li Yaqi's words. In the past, the Li Family would never easily join forces with him, but now that his Senior Sister was here, the fate of the Xuanyuan Clan was set. Li Yaqi wanted a share of the pie.
However, it didn't matter. One more friend meant one more path.
"Your Highness is too kind. I won't be polite."
Qin Hao said with a smile.
