Hmm?
Lu Chen froze when he saw the words gradually appearing on the semi-transparent panel that had suddenly appeared before him.
There's a Main Quest too?
The current Main Quest.
Recruit or destroy the Four Great Families!
This quest didn't seem too difficult.
After all, the assassin organization Diyu he had obtained possessed someone at the Celestial Realm.
With such terrifying power, recruiting the Four Great Families would be a piece of cake.
But the reward for this quest...
An Immortal-grade Cultivation Method...
Lu Chen had thought that the highest-grade cultivation method was the Heaven-grade Top-tier Cultivation Method.
He hadn't expected there to be Immortal Grade Cultivation Methods as well.
Was Immortal Grade a level above Heaven Grade?
He shook his head and decided not to think about it for now.
However, although recruiting or destroying the Four Great Families looked easy enough,
completing it wouldn't be simple.
After all, the Azure Emperor should also be at the Celestial Realm. Why hadn't he simply wiped out the Four Great Families?
Why had he instead allowed them to leap around before his eyes and disgust him?
Was he unwilling to?
No. It was because the Four Great Families had deep roots and far-reaching connections in the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.
After drawing a long breath, Lu Chen decided it would be better to start by recalling everything from the beginning.
However, just then, more words began appearing on the semi-transparent panel before Lu Chen.
Although you have now shocked your father, the Azure Emperor, and fulfilled one of his wishes, the Azure Emperor and his many sons are still confined within the imperial palace by the current emperor, Lu Xuan, and have no freedom!
Reversal Mission issued: You need to find a way to help your father, the Azure Emperor, leave the imperial palace. Your father, the Azure Emperor, is a man of immense fortune. Once freed from his confinement in the imperial palace, he may encounter a heaven-shaking opportunity and restore his former glory!
Quest reward: Double Pupils!
"Hmm?"
Another quest?
That made sense. The previous one had been the Main Quest.
The quest before him should be a side quest.
But take Imperial Father out of the imperial palace, encounter a heaven-shaking opportunity, and restore his former glory?
Lu Chen scratched his head, feeling a headache coming on.
This prematurely appearing Reversal System had one major flaw.
The timeline was off, and the quests it issued were all over the place.
Sometimes, extremely difficult quests could be completed with ease. But other times, things were different.
However, if all he had to do was take the Azure Emperor out of the imperial palace...
Hadn't Imperial Father still owed him a request?
As his son, he could ask Imperial Father to take the two of them out of the imperial palace to stroll around the imperial capital, clear their minds, and have some fun. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
After all, the reward for this quest was incredible!
Double Pupils!
Double Pupils were the path of invincibility; why would one need to borrow another's bones?
Of course, having Double Pupils on top of the Supreme Bone would make him even more extraordinary.
With that thought, Lu Chen happily hummed a little tune as he arrived at Tianchen Hall.
"This servant pays respects to—"
When Lu Chen reached the entrance of Tianchen Hall, he saw six palace maids and six eunuchs standing there in neat rows.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, the palace maids and eunuchs all bowed respectfully.
Lu Chen nodded and walked straight into Tianchen Hall.
Although it was called a hall, it was actually a small compound with three courtyards.
The moment Lu Chen entered Tianchen Hall, he froze.
It was huge!
Tianchen Hall was far larger than Consort Yuan's Hall.
There were a total of five or six small lofts.
They were arranged with considerable order among the rockeries and flowing water within Tianchen Hall.
Lu Chen took a rough look around. There was a loft where he could sleep and live.
There was a main hall for receiving guests.
There were quarters for the servants.
What delighted Lu Chen most was that there was even a secluded cultivation room where he could train.
Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and patted the Little Fox's head.
"This will be our home from now on. Do you like it?"
Ying, ying, ying.
The Little Fox chirped softly. It looked left and right, then leaped straight down from Lu Chen's shoulder and began patrolling its territory with its head held high.
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled.
After arranging a few things, Lu Chen headed toward the Royal Treasury.
Besides all kinds of pills, Dragon Crystals, and spirit crystals, the rewards the Azure Emperor had given him earlier had also included the Heaven-grade mid-tier defensive treasure, Golden Scale Ice Crystal Armor.
He could also go to the Royal Treasury himself and choose any one divine ability and any one treasure.
Lu Chen had already put on the Golden Scale Ice Crystal Armor.
This thing was genuinely excellent. Not only did it possess astonishing defensive power,
it could also calm the mind and stabilize one's Dao heart,
preventing cultivation deviation while training.
It was clear that the Azure Emperor had thought of everything for him.
Lu Chen hurried toward the depths of the imperial palace, where the Royal Treasury was located.
Seeing the resplendent Royal Treasury ahead, radiating a treasure-like glow, Lu Chen sighed with emotion.
The imperial family's foundation was truly profound.
The Royal Treasury was divided into several sections, including the Scripture Repository and the Sword Hiding Hall.
The Scripture Repository stored the cultivation methods and divine abilities the imperial family had collected from all over the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.
The Sword Hiding Hall, meanwhile, contained all kinds of treasures gathered from across the world.
At the entrance of the Royal Treasury sat an old man who was dozing off.
When Lu Chen saw the old man, his heart trembled.
Judging from the pressure emanating from the old man, Lu Chen could clearly sense that his strength was absolutely no weaker than his own.
Therefore, it was possible that this old man was at the Land Immortal Realm.
"Old sir, Imperial Father has bestowed a reward upon me, so I've come to take a cultivation method and a treasure."
Lu Chen walked over to the old man and spoke as he took out the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant.
Seeing the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, the old man abruptly raised his brows.
His rather murky eyes turned toward Lu Chen.
Yet deep within his gaze, sharp glints flashed.
In merely an instant, a smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Good child, go on in."
"Thank you, old sir."
Lu Chen thanked him, entered the Royal Treasury, and immediately headed toward the Scripture Repository.
Apart from the old man at the entrance, no one else guarded the entire Royal Treasury.
It was understandable, too. Having one old man at the Land Immortal Realm was more than enough. After all, this was the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.
How hopeless did one have to be to come here and steal?
This also indirectly showed just how absurd it was that, in the future, Spirit Consort had accused his mother of coming to the Royal Treasury to steal cultivation methods—and, most importantly, had actually succeeded.
What, was his mother stronger than the old man at the entrance?
At this thought, Lu Chen subconsciously clenched his fists.
The Main Quest was to recruit or destroy the Four Great Families.
Then he would start with the Ling Family, Spirit Consort's maternal family.
He could find a way to recruit the other three families.
But for the Ling Family, destruction was the only path left.
Scripture Repository!
The moment he entered the Scripture Repository, he saw row upon row of cabinets.
Every cabinet was densely packed with jade pendants.
The cabinets were also arranged in order.
They contained everything from the lowest-grade Yellow-grade Cultivation Methods and divine abilities to Heaven-grade Cultivation Methods and divine abilities.
Lu Chen gave them a rough glance. Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight for the section containing Heaven-grade Cultivation Methods and divine abilities.
Then Lu Chen began examining them one by one.
This time, among the cultivation methods and divine abilities, Lu Chen was more interested in finding a suitable divine ability.
After all, he wasn't lacking a cultivation method. The Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Scripture was enough for him for now.
Once he completed the Main Quest after some time, he would also receive the Immortal Grade Cultivation Method, Primordial Scripture of the Great Void, as a reward.
Immortal Grade Cultivation Methods were the real prize.
Therefore, Lu Chen searched continuously through the Heaven-grade divine abilities.
Blood Demon Devouring Palm, Vajra Arhat Fist, Righteous Qi Sword Qi Art, Eighteen Styles of the Six Desires Dragon-Phoenix Reversal...
Wait, something rather extraordinary seemed to have been mixed in here.
