Regardless how he looked, he did not display any hostility, so Qin Wushuang felt calm and collected. With confidence, he asked, “Senior Divine Beast, since that Senior Golden Cicada is the totem clan elite warrior, how could he be defeated in foreign lands?”

The divine beast gave a long sigh. “There’s no need to speak of these secret stories of these totem powerhouses. They are nothing more than the differences between totem elite warriors. Since you have inherited the Graceful Spiritual Bow, it means you are a person with great fortune: a lucky star indeed… Ha ha ha!”

Qin Wushuang was moved and could not help but ask, “Great fortune? Great lucky star? Senior divine beast, why do you say this?”

The divine beast laughed. “It’s simple. When I was trapped by Golden Cicada here, he once said that the day he came to this island again, would be the day to free me. Unexpectedly, he has not returned…”

“Fortunately, he also added a twist to this story. If he did not return, the one with the Graceful Spiritual Bow would be his heir. When I see this person, I can be free!”

“This…” Qin Wushuang felt somewhat astonished.

“Ha ha, do you feel this is somewhat hard to understand?” The divine beast chuckled. “Have you realized that the Graceful Spiritual Bow has been equipped with original arrows? If you had shot me with the original Shooting Sun Arrows, although I might not be too afraid, it would still not be easy to deal with. Ha ha.”

Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. “I heard that the original Shooting Sun Arrows were already lost.”

“Lost?” That divine beast laughed again. “I only remember that Golden Cicada had taken away nine Shooting Sun Arrows. However, there are a total of eighteen Shooting Sun Arrows.”

“Oh?” Qin Wushuang’s eyes shone.

“Do you want to know where the other nine Shooting Sun Arrows are?”

“Would you know, senior divine beast?” Qin Wushuang was moved.

“Of course I know!” The divine beast appeared to be incredibly proud as he said with a grinning face, “Follow me!”

Now, great terrifying waves were rocking inside Qin Wushuang’s heart. Could it be that he had an explosion of luck and would get the original arrows for the Graceful Spiritual Bow?

He followed behind the divine beast and entered the underground cave of the divine beast. This cave was full of serene and smooth paths. As he walked along the way, the paths were all meticulous and moist.

After he had walked for a while, they came into a clearing.

An ancient palace-like structure entered his view. On the wall of the structure, there lay nine arrows with blazing red bodies. One could tell by looking at the arrows that they had been through a lot.

When Qin Wushuang saw these nine arrows, his breathing instantly become urgent. A form of unprecedented resonance had seemed to occur across his entire spiritual perception.

“Shooting Sun Arrows…” Qin Wushuang realized that all of a sudden, a powerful resonating sound had exploded from the Graceful Spiritual Bow in his hand. The bow string emitted a grieving buzz as if expressing its sorrow for being separated for such a long time. This was a long reunion and a fated re-encounter.

Qin Wushuang walked closer to the wall emotionally. Just when he was about to touch it, the divine beast instantly swept an antenna over and stopped his movements.

“Do not touch!”

Qin Wushuang looked at the divine beast with a surprise and showed some doubt through his eyes.

The divine beast shook his head. “For these Shooting Sun Arrows, now you cannot move them.”

“I cannot move them? Why?” Qin Wushuang could not understand.

“It’s simple, you are not powerful enough to move them!” he explained. The divine beast gave a long sigh. “If you were to activate this defense mechanism by force, most likely you would get swallowed up in it.”

“Not enough?” Qin Wushuang was stupefied as he stuttered to ask, “Could it be I can only take out these Shooting Sun Arrows by entering the Supreme Dao Stage?”

The divine beast laughed. “That’s not necessary. Now you are at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, when you enter the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, you can take out these arrows.”

“Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage?” Qin Wushuang’s eyes shone. If it has to be the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, then he would have the confidence. While staying inside these islands of the Illusion Heavenly Lake for more than half a year, Qin Wushuang had also comprehended a lot in terms of training. Especially on the path towards the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, he already swept clean all the obstacles in relation to perception. As long as he had an appropriate environment, he could break through it completely.

“Ha ha, it’s only one step away,” he said with a grin. The divine beast revealed a faint smile. “What? Do you have the confidence?”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “For the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, as long as I get half a month, I will have enough time to reach it. I am just worried that they will be suspicious since I have not surfaced?”

“Suspicious of what? Although they are watching this island, they cannot monitor my underground cave. Therefore, you don’t need to worry. At most, they would be suspicious if you went to investigate the Supreme Dao Fruit.”

“Then a moment ago, when you guided me here to the cave, could they not see this?” Qin Wushuang felt worried.

“Monitor me?” The divine beast said proudly, “They can monitor the entire island, but in my territory, I would never allow them to do what they want.”

“Alright, little one from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, I still haven’t asked you, what is your name?” the divine beast asked with a smile.

“I am Qin Wushuang.”

“Qin Wushuang? Good name,” the divine beast praised from the bottom of his heart. “Alright, I will give you half a month, the training environment inside this cave is numerous times superior than the outside world. It should be alright?”

Qin Wushuang replied with confidence, “Not a problem.”

The divine beast laughed and disappeared within the cave with his body moving like the wind. His voice echoed in Qin Wushuang’s head, “I will be in charge of defending you. Ha ha, for freedom, I will just manage to defend you.”

Qin Wushuang was choked with emotion. The appearance of the divine beast had given him too much shock. Qin Wushuang could hardly believe that meeting the divine beast had lead to such a gigantic fortuitous opportunity.

He took a moment to control and put away those emotions. He sat down cross-legged and decided to make a dash for the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage properly.

…

Ling Tianzhi and Jiang Kui had been disqualified one after the other and were sent out of the island by the transportation formation. They had returned to the shore of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. The curtain of the ordeal competition had fallen.

However to everyone’s confusion, as this Ling Tianzhi and Jiang Kui had gone out, why would the little one of the Qin Clan not come out after having won?

In the initial day or two, everyone thought it would be nothing. Yet after five or six days, as Qin Wushuang’s figure had still not appeared, some people could not refrain from gossiping.

“You say what is that Qin Wushuang doing? Why is he not coming out? Could it be he has become addicted by staying in there?”

“Ha ha, he could have been swallowed by the divine beast?” someone thought with vile intentions.

“Eh, this is hard to say. Divine beast, that is the divine beast. Swallowing a martial artist not at the Supreme Dao Stage should be as easy as pie, right?”

It was apparent that there were many people who hoped something happened to Qin Wushuang. This was people’s deep-rooted bad habits for they would not want to see one prosper. Letting Qin Wushuang win would always make them feel unfair on the inside. Therefore, they had rather hoped something were to happen and satisfy their despicable mentality.

This was especially true of the Xin Clan, the Heavenly Punishing Villa, and the Sound of Thunder Sect. When they initially saw Ling Tianzhi and Jiang Kui eliminated and that Qin Wushuang had won the championship, it caused them to feel deep despair and they planned to leave ahead of time. They would definitely not be going to watch some awards ceremony. Unexpectedly, after a few days had passed, Qin Wushuang still had not come out.

This made them become very active. Vividly, they expected that Qin Wushuang must have died in there. Although it was inappropriate of them to ask these words, they longed for this to be the truth.

Initially they had planned to leave, yet they stayed to wait for the results. Per the rules, since the time limit had not been reached, the competition could not be announced as having ended.

Even the host organization could not enter the island to investigate. Everyone would only have one choice and that would be to wait and wait for the time limit to arrive.

For the Qin party, besides Qin Yunran who was rather calm, Qin Hao and Qin Hongyan could not hold themselves back from gossiping. Everyday they were whispering, “How come he’s not back yet?”

“Second Chief, how about let’s request that the host organization go take a look. Junior Brother Wushuang has already won.”

“Yes, Second Chief, in the case that Wushuang is trapped by the divine beast, it would be best to go investigate.”

Qin Yunran shook his head and was incredibly calm. He said with an indifferent tone, “Wait!”

…

After ten days, for the Qin party, even Qin Taichong could not sit still. The other people of the other powerhouses were mostly sure that something must have happened to Qin Wushuang. Or else, there was no reason for him not to come out.

Of course, some people also felt that Qin Wushuang would surely come out in the last minute.

“Perhaps Qin Wushuang was in some corner and didn’t know that Ling Tianzhi and Jiang Kui were already disqualified? Right? In this situation, of course he must stay until the time limit. Or else, how could he know that he would win?”

“That’s right, yet is he not worried that Jiang Kui and Ling Tianzhi have got the Supreme Dao Fruit ahead of time?”

“It’s not that easy to seize the Supreme Dao Fruit before the divine beast. Who would dare steal it from under its nose?”

Inside the island, communication jade plates were forbidden. Therefore, people of the Qin Clan could also not use the communication jade plate to contact Qin Wushuang. Naturally, they did not know the exact situation on the island.

After half a month had passed, all five totem elite warriors felt this matter was somewhat strange. How come no movements had come from that Qin Wushuang?

On this day, the leader of the Heavenly Mountain Sect of the Extreme North Snow Zone, Ling Sheng, brought Ling Tianzhi before the five totem elite warriors.

This Ling Sheng was Ling Tianzhi’s father. He was also the ruler of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

However before the totem powerhouse, he still did not dare to act too recklessly. After having paid his respect, Ling Sheng asked, “Five totem elite warriors, my son Tianzhi and Jiang Kui were sent out at the same time. This is something I just don’t understand.”

Snow Cicada Chief said lightly, “Isn’t this ordeal still ongoing? The ranking will be announced by then.”

Ling Sheng smiled embarrassingly. “Snow Cicada, I… I have some words that I don’t know if I can say.”

“Speak.”

Ling Sheng became bold and said, “I do want to know, in the case where Qin Wushuang is dead, how would we determine the championship? Is it going to remain empty, or will it be decided between my son Ling Tianzhi and Jiang Kui?”

“Ling Sheng, tell us exactly your concern,” Leng Xiao, the elite warrior of the Dark Mysterious Clan from the Extreme North Snow Zone said lightly.

Ling Sheng only carried respect to other elite warriors of the other totem powerhouses. However before his boss, the Dark Mysterious Clan, he would not dare to play tricks as he said, “Before my son Ling Tianzhi was sent out, he saw that when Qin Wushuang was fighting with that divine beast, his transportation jade plate was destroyed by the beast.”

“What?” Five elite warriors of the totem clan were dumbstruck at the same time.

The transportation jade plate was destroyed? Then would he not be able to get out?
