A meeting of elders.
After having a good drink with Master Qingye, Qin Xiao returned to his place of cultivation.
As soon as he entered, the Sword Master, God Luo Di, and the others bowed respectfully. Clearly, they had been waiting there for a long time.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" They congratulated him in unison.
Qin Xiao smiled. "Even you know I'm going to be promoted to elder?"
Sword Master nodded and said, "That's right, Your Highness. This matter has long been spread. It's no secret. We just have to wait for it to be officially announced to the world."
It seemed that Master Qingye was right. This matter had been put on the agenda for a long time. Since it was spread, it must have been confirmed.
Only the elders would know about such a big matter.
"That means I'm going to be busy again. You should all prepare yourselves," said Qin Xiao.
Sword Link said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We've already prepared everything. We're just waiting for the other lords to come and congratulate you."
Qin Xiao nodded. He was quite confident in his servants' ability to handle matters.
"Brother Qin Xiao, why didn't you tell us when you came back? You're not a good brother!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out from outside. It was Lord Danchen's voice.
Qin Xiao was summoned by Master Qingye as soon as he entered the hall. He didn't have time to inform Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen.
Qin Xiao smiled and came out to greet him. He said apologetically, "Brothers, please don't take offense. I've just returned home. Please come in."
"No, no, no. Elder Qin, you're an elder now. Don't be so polite. It's killing us." Lord Danchen hurriedly waved his hand.
Ye Junhe also cupped his fists. "Greetings, Elder Qin!"
"You …" Qin Xiao was furious. He went up to them and scolded with a smile, "You're so jealous. If you keep acting like this, we won't be brothers anymore. No matter who I am, we'll always be brothers in life and death. Don't be so polite between brothers. It's too distant. "
"Haha, it's just a joke!" Lord Danchen and Ye Junhe both laughed.
After joking around for a while, the three of them entered the main hall. Goddess Luo Di had already prepared a sumptuous banquet.
However, more powerful experts arrived before they could sit down. This time, there were more than ten of them. Qin Xiao was familiar with Villa Head Yao, Dao Qi, and the others.
"Junior brother Qin Xiao, congratulations in advance. You'll be called Elder Qin soon."
"Tsk, tsk. Zhen can still call him Junior Brother Qin Xiao now. Let's hurry up and call him Junior Brother Qin Xiao a few more times.
"Haha, I already knew that Junior Brother Qin Xiao could become an elder at the fourth step of the Heavenly God Realm, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Congratulations, this is a grand occasion for our Godly Palace of Manchuria."
Qin Xiao didn't put on any airs. He warmly welcomed everyone and called them senior brothers.
Qin Xiao's approachability had always been something that people took delight in talking about. It was precisely because of this that everyone was willing to befriend Qin Xiao.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to rush over to congratulate him in advance before the official announcement was made.
The banquet lasted for three months, and it was a rare occasion to have a gathering like this.
The senior brothers left one after another. Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen were the last to leave.
Before leaving, Ye Junhe said to Qin Xiao with a serious expression, "Qin Xiao, I'm preparing to merge with the Dao."
"Merge with the Dao?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Ye Junhe to be preparing to merge with the Dao so soon. Ye Junhe wasn't that old. He wasn't even two million years old. How could he be preparing to merge with the Dao?
Ye Junhe wasn't the only one. Lord Danchen also said, "I'm also preparing to merge with the Dao. This is a decision I made after discussing it with Ye Junhe."
Lord Danchen was only a little over a million years old.
Both of them were preparing to merge with the Dao?
After a moment of surprise, Qin Xiao understood why they had made such a decision.
Ye Junhe sighed silently. "There's no other way. I also want to build a stronger foundation. I even want to follow Master Qingye's path and merge with the Dao to become a ruler. I want to skip the Almighty Realm."
"However, it's clear that we don't have that much time. The calamity is about to erupt. I need to increase my strength as much as possible so that I can better survive. Only then can I better protect my hometown and our God Realm."
"Therefore, my only choice now is to merge with the Dao ahead of time. If I don't have enough strength, I'll definitely die in this calamity. There's no way out then. "
"The most important thing is to make sure that we can survive now."
"That's right. There's really no other way. No matter how ambitious you are, you'll be worn down eventually. "Lord Danchen also shook his head helplessly.
Qin Xiao could hear the extreme helplessness in their words.
Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen were both geniuses with lofty ambitions. Becoming a Almighty wasn't their ultimate goal.
Even if they wanted to merge with the Dao and become a Almighty, their goal would at least be to rank on the Heaven Roll.
However, if they tried to merge with the Dao now, their chances of success wouldn't be high. After all, their foundations weren't too solid and they hadn't accumulated enough experience. Merging with the Dao now definitely wasn't a good choice.
If their foundations weren't solid enough, their future path of cultivation would be even more difficult even if they succeeded in merging with the Dao. This was equivalent to cutting off their path of retreat.
Heavenly Gods had a lifespan of 1.84 billion years. Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen hadn't even lived to a fraction of their lifespan. If they tried to merge with the Dao now, they would be at a huge disadvantage.
However, there was nothing they could do. Time waited for no man. They didn't have much time left.
This kind of helplessness was indeed too painful.
Qin Xiao could understand their grief. He patted their shoulders and comforted them. "Let's think about it after we merge with the Dao. The road ahead is still long. It's not like we won't have a chance to take that step. There are so many Rulers in the Divine Realm, and they've all basically walked step by step. Situations like Master Qingye's are still extremely rare.
"If we can survive this calamity, I believe our future path will be very smooth. If we can't, then we'll all die together. "
Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen nodded. That was indeed the case.
"Alright, let's go prepare for the Dao Integration first," Ye Junhe said.
Qin Xiao said, "Oh right, I still have a few bottles of Dragon Saliva Brew here. Do we need it?"
Dragon Saliva Brew was a holy item that assisted in the Dao Integration. It had an extremely high success rate.
Qin Xiao had obtained it at the Heavenly Court Banquet. Even now, he couldn't bear to give it to anyone else.
Ye Junhe waved his hand. "There's no need. We've also prepared some Dao Integration items. However, the Dao Integration shouldn't be too difficult for us. "
Qin Xiao nodded. With Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen's potential, the Dao Integration shouldn't be too big of a problem.
At most, their foundation wouldn't be strong enough, and their potential would decrease after the Dao Integration.
However, extraordinary times called for extraordinary treatment. There were some trade-offs.
After sending off Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen, Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly. He did feel a little sorry for Ye Junhe and Lord Danchen.
However, this was something that couldn't be helped. No one could change it.
Qin Xiao called Heavenly Goddess Luo Di and the others over. "All this time, I've never given you anything. I've seen how conscientious you've been following me."
"You should know the current situation. Once the war breaks out, you won't be able to escape. You'll have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and protect the Divine Realm."
Heavenly Goddess Luo Di said resolutely, "Your Highness, we've already prepared for this. We won't hesitate to sacrifice our lives."
"That's right, Your Highness. We're not afraid of anything," Heavenly Goddess Luo Di said.
Qin Xiao said, "While there's still time, you should improve your strength as quickly as possible. This time, I'll give you some things. Ultimate techniques, treasures, and even Dao Integration items. I can give you some of them. If you can Dao Integration, then go ahead. Once you become a mighty figure, your survivability will be higher. "
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Heavenly Goddess Luo Di and the others were excited. Their greatest goal was to become a mighty figure at the Dao Integration Stage.
They had always followed Qin Xiao because they wanted to be nurtured and become mighty figures one day.
And this day had finally arrived.
After bestowing Heavenly Goddess Luo Di and the others, Qin Xiao told them to go into seclusion to cultivate.
At this time, Qin Xiao received a call from Master Qingye, asking him to attend the Elders' Conference.
Qin Xiao soon met with Master Qingye. Master Qingye laughed and said, "Let's go, Elder Qin. This is your first time attending the Elders' Conference. From now on, you're qualified to know all the secrets of the Desolate Land's Divine Palace."
Qin Xiao smiled. He was also slightly excited. The Elders' Conference was the highest meeting of the Desolate Land's Divine Palace. Only the Elders and Palace Masters were qualified to attend.
Elders had an extremely high position of authority.
Being an elder represented a noble status.
Elders had the right to know all the secrets of the Desolate Land's Divine Palace.
Qin Xiao was also looking forward to seeing the full strength of the Desolate Land's Divine Palace.
He followed Master Qingye to the deepest part of the Desolate Land's Divine Palace and entered a hidden palace.
Here, the primordial mist lingered. The Desolate Land's Divine Palace had reappeared. The ancient scenery shone brightly.
Thrones floated in the palace. The most eye-catching one was the throne at the highest point. It shone with boundless holy light. Obviously, it was the throne of the Desolate Land's Palace Master.
There were a total of 19 thrones below. At this time, all the thrones were occupied.
The 19 thrones were arranged in two rows from the top to the bottom.
Qin Xiao's gaze fell upon the crowd. Most of them were unfamiliar faces. Seeing them, Qin Xiao's heart was filled with shock.
Although he had always known that the Divine Palace of the Desolate Land had hidden much of its strength, he did not expect there to be so many Elders in the Desolate Land's Divine Palace. Including himself, there were as many as 19 Elders.
That was equivalent to having the combat strength of 19 Sovereigns.
On the surface, Qin Xiao only knew six Elders. There were still 13 Elders that Qin Xiao did not know.
This was indeed beyond Qin Xiao's imagination.
