Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

The next second, Chu Qin's soul returned to his body.

Before him, the Tian Qiang Elder spat out a mouthful of black blood and completely lost his life force.

"Chu Qin, what happened?" Azure Dragon immediately asked Chu Qin. She could feel that in the memories of the Tian Qiang Elder, there had been a strong psychic impact.

Chu Qin looked at the Tian Qiang Elder, whose breath had ceased, covered his head with his palm, and then sighed and shook his head, "It's a pity, his memories have been completely destroyed. Otherwise, reviving him might have been useful."

"Chu Qin, what exactly happened just now?" Azure Dragon asked.

"In the memories of Tian Qiang Elder, a powerhouse from the Infinite Heavens left behind a remnant thought. I battled with him and collected his remnant thought. Unfortunately, in his final moments, Tian Qiang Elder's memories were completely destroyed by him."

"Who was it?" Azure Dragon also asked, slightly shocked.

"I don't know!" Chu Qin shook his head, "But it's definitely not from our universe. It seems my thoughts were correct just now!"

"The Tian Qiang Elder was merely a pathfinder. Those who truly want to invade the Inner Universe might be related to the mysterious powerhouse I fought against. After all, the seal on Tian Qiang Elder was left by him," Chu Qin added, "I have already captured that mysterious person inside the Five Elements Purple Immortal Calabash. Once his remnant thought weakens a little, we can take action and interrogate him."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Azure Dragon nodded.

"Xiao Yi is back." At this moment, both Azure Dragon and Chu Qin spoke simultaneously.

Sheng Yi and Jiu Yin had been sent by Chu Qin to the Primordial Universe to search, and might have found some clues.

Now that Tian Qiang Elder was dead, their greatest hope was probably Jiu Yin.

Chu Qin and Azure Dragon exited the secret chamber, and indeed, Sheng Yi and Jiu Yin had already reached the Azure Dragon Hall.

"Xiao Yi, did you and Jiu Yin find anything?" Chu Qin asked.

"Yes!" said Sheng Yi, nodding excitedly.

"Then speak quickly," Chu Qin said with a joyful expression.

"Jiu Yin, you tell them," Sheng Yi turned to Jiu Yin.

"Hmm," Jiu Yin nodded, "Chu Qin, Azure Dragon, Sheng Yi and I returned to the palace where I was imprisoned and discovered this."

As Jiu Yin spoke, a purple light shone forth, revealing a purple compass within it.

"What is this?" Chu Qin took the purple compass, while Azure Dragon asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Life Pointer!" Jiu Yin replied, "I remember now, before I was sealed by the Outer Heavenly Lord, I foresaw my own end, so I used the World Tree of the demon realm as a guide to create this purple compass. If we follow this compass, we can find the channel between this realm and the Infinite Heavens!"

"So what do we do?" Chu Qin asked excitedly.

"Well... may I have a moment to think? It seems we need to recite some sort of incantation," Jiu Yin said a bit embarrassingly, "After all, it's been so long, and since Tai Yin split from me, my memories aren't complete."

"No problem, take your time! I'll give you a month!" Chu Qin said, joyfully undeterred, "Anyway, we can't possibly leave here immediately. If we go, Tianmen's top combat power will be practically gone. I must ensure that Tianmen is absolutely safe before I can rest easy leaving Ning Rongrong's father and the others here."

"Furthermore, Zhu Qing and the others haven't fully absorbed the Taiyin True Dragon Crystal Stones. One month is enough," Chu Qin continued.

As he spoke, Chu Qin looked toward Azure Dragon, who knowing what he meant, smiled Yanran and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't use Divine Power, I can absolutely last a month."

"Good, I'll concentrate solely on this matter for the time being!" Jiu Yin nodded.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded gently.

Before they knew it, a month had hurried by.

On this day, Chu Qin was in the courtyard. He ate his rolled pancakes while teaching Han Zier, his only disciple.

Speaking of Chu Qin's disciple, she was truly exceptional, not only was her culinary skill extraordinary but likely because she possessed the Yinglong Divine Soul, her cultivation speed was also incredibly terrifying.

Plus, with the trials of the Tower of Undying and various yellow-grade and profound-level crystal stones provided by Chu Qin, she had completely entered the Supreme Divine Realm.

Initially, entering the Supreme Divine Realm hadn't been so easy for Chu Qin.

But who could blame her when Han Zier had such a heaven-defying mentor!

The most crucial point was that Han Zier's figure was indeed exquisitely graceful; clad in a purple training suit, her perfect figure was fully revealed!

"Master, I've almost mastered the Thunder Emperor Holy Body," Han Zier smiled, "Master, why don't you teach me some other secret techniques?"

"Do you want to learn the Immortal Demon Body?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.

"No!" Han Zier shook her head.

"Why?" Chu Qin asked with a light smile.

"It's too ugly," Han Zier said, biting her red lips.

"I didn't expect you to be so picky, but no matter, who told you that you are my, Chu Qin's, disciple." Chu Qin smiled lightly, "Zier, here's what we'll do: you go find Xi E, she has already advanced to the Ancestral Realm ahead of time. You learn the Hualsheng Emperor Technique from her first."

"Master, this..." Han Zier seemed a bit troubled.

"Don't worry, I said it's fine," Chu Qin said with a casual smile, "Once you've learned the Hualsheng Emperor Technique, I'll teach you others."

"Okay!" Han Zier nodded and stepped out of Chu Qin's courtyard.

Just then, Han Zier came face to face with a figure of stunning grace and extreme beauty.

This person was wearing a Phoenix Crown, dressed in a golden-red gown, her feet adorned with golden-red crystal high heels. She was so distinct in both attire and demeanor.

"Greetings, Emperor Fenghuang!" Han Zier immediately performed a salute to the newcomer.

"Is your master here?" Emperor Fenghuang asked with an elegant smile.

"Yes, my master is here!" Han Zier promptly replied, "Emperor Fenghuang, I am going to find Lady Xi E, so I will take my leave now."

"Hmm." Emperor Fenghuang nodded slightly.

Following that, Emperor Fenghuang walked into the courtyard, approached Chu Qin, and greeted him respectfully, "Phoenix, I pay my respects to Lord Chu Qin!"

"Phoenix, there is no need for formalities," Chu Qin responded. "Phoenix, are you looking for Jing'er? She's not here."

The Phoenix shook her head, "Jing'er is with me. I'm not looking for her, but for you."

"For me!" Chu Qin smiled, revealing a hint of surprise. This Emperor Fenghuang hardly ever sets foot outside.

"Yes." The Phoenix nodded. "Phoenix has a favor to ask of Lord Chu Qin."

"What is it?" asked Chu Qin.

"Lord Chu Qin," the Phoenix inquired, "I heard from Lord Azure Dragon that you will be leaving Tianmen?"

"Yes, Qing'er must have already told you, right? Her realm is too high, this world cannot hold her any longer," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Hmm." The Phoenix nodded. "Lord Chu Qin, do you and Lord Azure Dragon intend to go to the Infinite Heavens?"

"That's for certain," Chu Qin nodded. "Qing'er must go there, how could I let her go alone? So I will go as well, and Xiaowu and the others probably won't leave me either."

"Lord Chu Qin, would you take me with you?" the Phoenix asked.

"You want to go too?" Chu Qin said, a touch of surprise in his voice.

"I won't hide it from Lord Chu Qin; I'm naturally averse to restraints. I chose to guard Tianmen only because of Lord Azure Dragon's orders. Now that Tianmen's affairs have concluded, I also want to venture out. When Lord Azure Dragon told me she was leaving Tianmen to me, I declined, saying I wanted to go with her," the Phoenix explained clearly.

"So you mean to say that Qing'er sent you to find me?" Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Yes." The Phoenix nodded. "I implore Lord Chu Qin to fulfill this request."

"Alright, I agree," Chu Qin nodded.

"Really, Lord Chu Qin?" The Phoenix raised her brows in question.

"Yes, I'm already taking Xiaowu and the others, one more won't make a difference. Besides, you are Jing'er's master. As soon as we get news from the Jiu Yin side, I will inform you," Chu Qin said with a smile.

The Phoenix was a Divine Master-level being and a genius fortuitously gifted by the heavens. Having such a person by his side, Chu Qin believed, would not only be of no hindrance but also greatly beneficial.

The key point was, for Chu Qin, the more peerless beauties around him, the better. And wasn't the Phoenix also a peerless beauty?

"Thank you, Lord Chu Qin!" The Phoenix immediately bowed to Chu Qin.

"Phoenix, since you'll be following me," Chu Qin said with a smile, "you need not call me 'Lord Chu Qin' anymore, nor be so reserved."

"Yes, Phoenix will heed Lord Chu Qin..."

"There you go again!" Before the Phoenix could finish, Chu Qin cut her off directly.

The Phoenix returned a polite yet slightly awkward smile, "Understood, Chu Qin!"

"Are you hungry?" Chu Qin asked the Phoenix with a slight smile.

"Ah?" The Phoenix was a bit taken aback.

"Have some pancake." Chu Qin said casually with a smile, passing a silver plate to the Phoenix, which held several pieces of golden-brown rolled pancakes, a creation of Han Zier.

"Thank you, Chu Qin..." The Phoenix couldn't control her own words, then promptly took a pancake with a smile and elegantly chewed a bite.

The Phoenix was stunned again, the taste was simply amazing.

"How is it? Tasty, right?" Chu Qin looked at the slightly dazed expression on the Phoenix and asked with a light smile.

"Mmm, delicious," the Phoenix nodded earnestly.

Chu Qin revealed a faint smile and also picked up a pancake, starting to eat alongside the Phoenix.

"Phoenix, I remember you are the Progenitor of the Soul Beast Clan!" Chu Qin asked.

"Hmm." The Phoenix nodded lightly.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Chu Qin inquired, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just casually asking."

The Phoenix shook her head, "No. Since my birth, I've been roaming through the heavens, and then, after establishing the Soul Beast Clan, I've stayed in the Phoenix Realm cultivating, without a male companion."

"Huh, didn't you just say you're naturally averse to restraints, so how come you established the Soul Beast Clan?" Chu Qin asked, slightly surprised.

"It was the command of the Mother of the Universe," the Phoenix replied.

"You've met this so-called Mother of the Universe?" Chu Qin asked. The first time he heard about the Mother of the Inner Universe was from a Heavenly Demon.

Previously, Chu Qin assumed the Mother of the Universe referred to the Inner Universe itself, but he gradually discovered that the Mother of the Universe was a specific being.

"Yes, just once," the Phoenix replied.

"Who is she?" Chu Qin asked curiously.

Chu Qin was keen to know about this Mother of the Inner Universe, who was even more mysterious than the Azure Dragon.

More importantly, he was idle and chatting with the Phoenix was quite enjoyable.

"I don't know," the Phoenix shook her head. "The Mother of the Universe established all Ancestral Level Beings, and since that encounter, she has never been seen again."

"Alright, then I won't ask any further," Chu Qin said with a smile. "Want another piece?"
