BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308: Sign-In, Void Gourd!
Long Life Temple.
Everyone present was stunned and almost thought that they had heard wrong.
In the Ministers’ opinion, the smell of revenge was already in the air. To think that they had actually come for the opposite reason and plead guilty!
Though it was surprising that the Ministers thought so. Although they knew that Su Qin had fought with seven Half-Step Earth Immortals not long ago, how could they know what the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals meant?
The Sects’ foundations had been greatly damaged. Though, the Major Sects, like the Witch Sect and the Thunder God Sect, still have their artifacts.
“Apologize to Third Brother?”
Emperor Li Sheng had a bewildered look on his face, and it took him a moment to react.
However, since he was an Emperor, his psyche was better than ordinary people.
“Let them come.”
Emperor Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said.
Now that these Sects had taken the initiative to plead guilty and lowering themselves like that, Emperor Li Sheng wouldn’t be dumb enough to push them away.
“Your Majesty.”
“They said that they would not dare to enter the palace without the permission of the Third Uncle…” The Imperial Guard Commander replied.
Overseas, every expert had their own settlement. Since Su Qin stayed in the palace, the Sect Masters naturally thought that the palace was Su Qin’s domain.
If there was no consent from the owner of the domain, any Martial Artist, who dared to enter without authorization, would arouse the dissatisfaction of the owner.
“They don’t dare to come in?”
Emperor Li Sheng went silent.
At this moment, he became more and more aware of how terrifying Su Qin’s deterrence was.
The Ministers looked at each other and were likewise speechless.
“Is Third Brother in the East Palace?”
Emperor Li Sheng hesitated for a while, then asked the Imperial Guard Commander.
“Replying to Your Majesty, the Third Uncle is currently not in the East Palace.” The Imperial Guard Commander said in a low voice.
“Then Third Brother must be in seclusion.” Emperor Li Sheng whispered to himself.
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to disturb Third Brother. Let’s go and see these Sect Masters.” Emperor Li Sheng decided after some thought.
No matter what happened, unless it was really a last resort, they would definitely not disturb Su Qin’s cultivation.
“As you wish, Your Majesty.” The Imperial Guard Commander respectfully retired.

At this time, the outside of the palace had long been surrounded by overseas Martial Artists.
Most of these people had rushed over after hearing Su Qin’s prowess. Some of them were even disciples of Major Sects.
When the Sect Masters came to Chang’an City in person and stopped outside the palace, they immediately attracted the attention of almost all of the overseas Martial Artists.
Further, in order to show their sincerity, the Sect Masters didn’t even secretly use any secret techniques or employed any tricks. They simply waited outside the palace, patiently waiting.
“The Snow God Palace Sect Master?”
“The Thunder God Sect Sect Master?”
“The Witch Sect Sect Master?”

“Why are they here?”
The overseas Martial Artists, who had rushed to the scene, were boiling with discussions.
“Didn’t seven Half-Step Earth Immortals die in battle against the Tang Empire’s Legend? These Sects probably realized that they had no hope of resisting, and came to ask for forgiveness for their sins…”
A Legend sneered.
“Apologize?”
“The Tang Empire’s Legend killed their Half-Step Earth Immortals, but not only are they not seeking revenge, they are asking for forgiveness?”
A young Martial Artist couldn’t help asking, wearing a puzzled expression.
“The Tang Empire’s Legend?”
“I’m afraid you have said it wrong.”
“It should be the Tang Empire’s Celestial.” An older Martial Artist said, with a flash of light passing through his eyes.
The area soon fell into dead silence.
Celestial, what is a Celestial?
Earth Immortals were united with the Heavens and Earth. They could pull vitality with just their gestures. Hence, they were also called Celestials.
Since the old Martial Artist called Su Qin a Celestial, it meant that he believed that Su Qin had already become an Earth Immortal.
Although it was just speculation before, now that the Sect Masters have come to apologize, it basically confirmed it.
Otherwise, why would the Major Sects bow?
“There is finally another Earth Immortal in the world! Indeed, why else would these Major Sects take the initiative to ask for forgiveness?”
“This is the first Earth Immortal in the past thousand years. I originally thought that it would be Lei Xuanzi, from the Thunder God Sect, that would be able to get to this point.”
“Indeed, Lei Xuanzi was very hopeful in becoming an Earth Immortal. But it was only hope. How can he compare to the Tang Empire’s Celestial?”
Many of the Martial Artists were in awe. Their chatter even became quieter, for fear of disturbing Su Qin.
This was the power of an Earth Immortal. They can overwhelm the world without even moving an inch.
Although there was hope for the Major Sects’ artifacts to block an Earth Immortal, if Su Qin really wanted to do something with the Witch Sect and the Thunder God Sect, he didn’t need to do anything special. He’ll just release his aura and stay outside their Sects.
A few years later, these Major Sects would have their resources exhausted and disappear.
At this time, Emperor Li Sheng and the Ministers arrived to the front of the palace.
“Greetings Tang Emperor.”
The Sect Masters glanced at Tang Emperor and slightly bowed. With their identities, they don’t need to act this formally with an Emperor of a mere empire. But behind the Tang Emperor was Su Qin, a Celestial.
“How are you going to ask for forgiveness?” Emperor Li Sheng didn’t talk nonsense, and asked bluntly.
The Sect Masters looked at each other. Finally, the Dark Source Sect Sect Master stood up. He raised his right hand and ten items composed of axes, knives or swords, etc. floated up.
“The Dark Source Sect is willing to offer 10 inheritance artifacts to appease the Celestial.”
The Dark Source Sect Sect Master then respectfully bowed towards the depths of the palace.
With such an offer, the crowd watching immediately became restless.
“Ten inheritance artifacts? The Dark Source Sect has only gathered about a dozen artifacts during their long history, but they offered 10 at the same time?”
“Has the Dark Source Sect gone crazy? Inheritance artifacts are not ordinary artifacts. They can protect the Sect and be passed down for thousands of generations. Not to mention that there’s 10 of them, they’re really paying a big price…”
The crowd were stunned.
The Dark Source Sect didn’t have any Earth Immortals, so they could only get their artifacts through exchanging with other Sects or plunder from others. Hence, their artifacts were limited.
At this time, the Divine Medicine Sect Master stood up and said respectfully, “The Divine Medicine Sect is willing to offer 10 Spirit Medicines to appease the Celestial.”
“Spirit Medicines?”
These words made the crowd tremble inside.
Even in the last prosperous era, Spirit Medicines were extremely precious. Even more so now, since the vitality was in a downtime. An ordinary Peak Legend hasn’t even seen a single Spirit Medicine in their entire life, not to mention 10…
“The Thunder God Sect is willing to offer a catty of Thunder Source Stones to appease the Celestial…”
“The Witch Sect is willing to offer…”
“The Snow God Palace is willing to offer…”
The Sect Masters began to apologize one after the other, as they presented the treasures respectfully.

While the Sect Masters were anxiously waiting, a black-robed Su Qin quietly appeared above the Star Gazing Tower.
“You all came here to apologize?”
Su Qin looked out of the palace and didn’t care much about what’s happening.
“Hmm, I haven’t Signed In at the palace for a long time.”
Su Qin glanced at the Star Gazing Tower, and said in his heart, “System, Sign In!”
A cold, mechanical voice then sounded in Su Qin’s ear.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully Signing In. Obtained the ‘Void Gourd’. ]
