Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 680 680: We Must Fight a Battle!

"Lu Ziyi?" Qin Heng raised his eyes to glance at her, his gaze penetrating, instantly seeing through Lu Ziyi's depths.

She was at the Innate peak, but the Innate True Qi within her was extremely pure and of very high quality, even stronger than the Mana of some reincarnated celestials Qin Heng had encountered in his previous life.

The quality of a Martial Artist's True Qi was heavily influenced by their Cultivation Technique. The True Qi of ordinary Innate Martial Artists wasn't even comparable to the Mana of regular Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators. However, those who practiced top-tier martial arts, or even ancient Divine Skills, possessed True Qi stronger than the Mana of most Cultivators.

And this Lu Ziyi, with the purity and high quality of her True Qi, was comparable to a reincarnated Golden Immortal!

Her aura bears some similarity to that of the West Queen Mother. It seems she might be the Saintess of the Ancient Divine Sect, the Jade Pool Divine Sect. Could it be that the master of the Jade Pool in this world is still that West Queen Mother?

Qin Heng pondered this in his heart, not paying attention to what Professor Wang was saying on the podium.

Moments later, a faint fragrance wafted over. Qin Heng's Divine Sense stirred slightly, and when he turned his head, he discovered Lu Ziyi had already taken a seat beside him, her stunning beauty within arm's reach.

"Damn! Qin Heng is so lucky with the ladies!"

"Usually, it's Nie Rongrong sitting next to him. Today Nie Rongrong is absent, and this new classmate, whose beauty is not inferior to Nie Rongrong's, has actually taken a seat beside him too!"

"AHHHH! I'm so envious! Why do Goddesses always sit next to him!"

"Could it be that being handsome gives you the right to do whatever you want?"

The surrounding students buzzed with conversation, their eyes fixed on Qin Heng, full of jealousy—not just the boys, but the girls too.

After all, Qin Heng was very handsome and also quite tall, standing at over 1.9 meters, approaching 2 meters—the absolute ideal height for many girls.

Usually, with Nie Rongrong sitting by Qin Heng's side, the other girls knew they couldn't compare to Nie Rongrong's looks and naturally felt too embarrassed to strike up a conversation with him.

But today, with Nie Rongrong absent, many girls thought their chance had come!

Yet, they hadn't expected it! This new transfer student, whose appearance wasn't inferior to Nie Rongrong's and who even possessed a seemingly superior air, had also taken a seat beside Qin Heng!

AHHHH!

I'm so jealous!

Many girls secretly clenched their fists, feeling quite dissatisfied.

But there was nothing they could do. Lu Ziyi was just too beautiful, and her demeanor was also exceptionally outstanding, like a fairy descended from the Heavenly Realm.

Professor Wang began the lecture.

Meanwhile, Qin Heng started his exchange with Lu Ziyi, indifferent to the reactions of those around him.

"Saintess of the Jade Pool, what brings you to the mortal world?" Qin Heng asked, looking at Lu Ziyi.

His impression of Lu Ziyi was fairly good. He recalled how, amidst widespread speculation on Martial Dao forums following his battle in Japan that wiped out the Self-Defense Forces, Lu Ziyi had even spoken up for him.

"The Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal is opening, and I am somewhat interested," Lu Ziyi said with a slight smile, her gaze sweeping their surroundings. "An Illusion Technique? Very clever. It's said that you're the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure. This Illusion Technique of yours is indeed extraordinary."

This was possible because Qin Heng had cast an Illusion Technique around them, isolating them from the perception of others and making everyone believe he and Lu Ziyi were still listening to the lecture.

"You can't hide it from me," Qin Heng said indifferently. "You came for me."

"Haha, so confident, Qin Xuantian?" Lu Ziyi smiled radiantly, then her expression turned serene as she said, "Yes, indeed I came for you. Would you care to have a duel with me?"

"The Jade Pool Saintess, a battle maniac?" Qin Heng chuckled lightly.

"The Jade Pool Divine Sect is the true inheritance of the West Queen Mother. Do you know another of the West Queen Mother's titles?" Lu Ziyi asked.

"The West Queen Mother was originally a Deity of innate divinity in Western Kunlun. She commands the supremely wonderful qi of the West and the golden-white qi of slaughter. She is also known as the Gold Emperor," Qin Heng said indifferently. "To call her the first female immortal in the myriad heavens wouldn't be an exaggeration."

"You seem well-informed. Could you really be the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure?" Lu Ziyi looked at Qin Heng, a hint of surprise in her curious eyes.

"I once debated with the Gold Emperor for three days; I am well aware of everything about her," Qin Heng said with a smile. "The Gold Emperor wields the power of slaughter, so it's normal for you, as the Jade Pool Saintess, to cultivate the way of combat and slaughter."

"...What did you just say?" Lu Ziyi was somewhat flabbergasted, staring at Qin Heng with astonishment. "Did you just say you debated with the Gold Emperor for three days?"

What a joke! The Gold Emperor, the West Queen Mother, the first female immortal of the heavens—these are legendary beings. And he debated with her?

"The Gold Emperor lingered in the Daluo Realm for a long time and invited me to a debate in an attempt to comprehend the fruits of Primordial Chaos Dao," Qin Heng nodded slightly, speaking calmly. "In those three days, she must have benefited quite a bit."

At that time, Qin Heng was a Daluo Golden Immortal. As the fastest to achieve this Realm in history, he was naturally observed by countless mighty figures, the Gold Emperor being one of them. She sought to explore her own path to Primordial Chaos by debating with him. Before Qin Heng's rebirth, she was still in seclusion, presumably reaping significant rewards.

"I... you... this..." Lu Ziyi was completely dumbfounded, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief, at a loss for words. She struggled to process the sheer volume of information in his words. "Do you really know what kind of being the Gold Emperor is?"

My god! What on earth was Qin Xuantian talking about? If she didn't know that the person before her was the recently renowned Qin Xuantian, who had made a name for himself as the "Greatest of All Time," Lu Ziyi felt she might have dismissed him as a madman. It was too exaggerated! Debating with the Gold Emperor for three days and claiming she benefited greatly!? How could that be possible? He was only at the peak of the Innate Realm, after all!

"That's in the past," Qin Heng smiled and said. "I will not agree to a battle with you."

"Why not?" Lu Ziyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she sized up Qin Heng and chuckled. "Could it be that you're afraid of me? Qin Xuantian, the 'Greatest of All Time,' shouldn't be so timid."

"Because you're not yet qualified," Qin Heng stated. "Wait until you reach the peak of the Saint Realm; then you might pique my interest."

Indeed, Lu Ziyi cultivated the incomparable Divine Skill passed down by the Jade Pool Divine Sect. The nature of her True Qi was exceedingly high, its quality rivaling that of a reincarnated Golden Immortal. Her power was formidable, capable of overwhelming some third-rate Saints despite only being at the Innate Realm!

But compared to Qin Heng, the gap was still too vast; there was simply no comparison.

Qin Heng was the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor from the Eternal Realm. Although he cultivated without a specific Cultivation Technique, his own Realm and insight guaranteed that whatever method he employed was inherently the strongest and most brilliant.

The nature of Qin Heng's Mana was indescribably high. Even if the great Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to be reborn and cultivate, at the same Realm, his Mana quality would not surpass Qin Heng's.

Currently, Lu Ziyi was at the peak of the Innate Realm. No matter how powerful she was, Qin Heng could suppress her with a flick of his finger, effortlessly.

He was telling the absolute truth.

Yet Lu Ziyi didn't believe him, convinced that Qin Heng was merely boasting. She declared, "I must battle you, and it will be tonight!"
