Chapter 551 -504: Virtuous Son-in-Law, I’m Your Father-in-Law

“And another thing.”

The Great Yan Empress paused, still seeming somewhat uneasy.

“If Emperor Yan has anything else to say, speak freely.”

Emperor Chu frowned.

I’ve already sworn upon the Heavenly Dao, yet Emperor Yan is still uneasy?

What more is needed?

As Emperor, he had already humbled himself enough.

“After today, you are not to harbor any thoughts toward my royal court’s Tributor. If I do not grant permission, you are not to try and seize them.”

The Empress’s tone was imposing, as if she were protecting her own treasure.

“Naturally!”

Emperor Chu agreed without hesitation, even letting out a sigh of relief.

What is this situation?

An Array Master, indeed, tempted him; yet, the master belongs to Emperor Yan, and he couldn’t lower himself to approach or shamelessly entice them.

As an emperor, this was the decorum he ought to maintain.

“Are you going to make me swear as well?”

Seeing that the Great Yan Empress did not press further and only watched him, Emperor Chu was somewhat incredulous.

Am I not the lord of an Immortal Country? Can’t I at least retain some dignity in front of my beloved daughter?!

In the end, Emperor Chu issued a powerful vow, which finally put the Empress at ease.

“Go.”

The Empress calmly indicated.

“Yes!”

Qin Yu responded respectfully; in front of outsiders, he dared not show any hint of disobedience to the Empress.

No.

To be precise, except when the Empress is crossing tribulation and needs care, at any other moment, he holds profound reverence, never daring a single transgressive act.

“Master Qin, regarding ancient arrays, I have gained some insights…”

Seeing Qin Yu alight beside the ancient array, Chu Muyin rushed over at once.

“Whoosh!”

But before she could finish, somehow Qin Yu acted, and the already dilapidated array was directly torn open.

“You…”

Chu Muyin’s eyes flashed, staring in disbelief at the scene.

Even though the array had been battered, with Spiritual Power poured in, it could have been sustained for ten days or so, barely.

Moreover, later, the Array Masters of the Great Chu Immortal Country could be convened to jointly study the restoration of the ancient array, using this as reference.

He just—plainly and bluntly—shredded the array?

Did he truly know what he was doing?

Emperor Chu’s eyelids twitched, suspecting this fellow might be a rat from the Black Soul Hall, embedded as a spy beside the Great Yan Empress.

If not for the Empress’s calm, Emperor Chu might have ignored the master’s status and hauled him up for questioning.

Even with the Bright Moon Pearl radiating moonlight, preventing malice from dispersing, once that Moonlight Power inside depletes, the site would surely become a Land of Calamity!

“Buzz…”

Just as Emperor Chu’s brows furrowed tightly, Qin Yu suddenly raised his arm, a touch of concentrated Spiritual Power swirling at his fingertip.

“Microscopic control!”

Emperor Chu’s expression hardened; a master indeed, but this could not excuse such a blunder!

“Princess, what were you about to say?”

Qin Yu, seemingly oblivious to the grave error, even had the leisure to ask.

“Too late, far too late.”

Chu Muyin shook her head, looking at the tall figure with a gaze that now carried a tinge of reproach.

On her master’s deathbed, he had passed on his insights regarding the Star Prison Array.

Originally, she could have exchanged these insights with Master Qin, perhaps assisting him in comprehending a few more inscriptions.

However, the array’s foundation was nearly consumed; now it was destroyed, and restoration was impossible!

“What do you mean, ‘too late’?”

Qin Yu wanted to show concern for this astonishing princess, but with the Empress nearby, he could only inquire while deftly tracing patterns.

“Hm?”

Chu Muyin had been watching Qin Yu’s every move; as she saw him swiftly trace out a pattern she recognized, her expression froze.

That is…

The pattern of the Star Prison Array?

He actually comprehended some of the ancient array’s patterns?

Even her late master, who had thoroughly understood it, could only draw fewer than ten patterns, and his technique was nowhere near as skilled as Qin Yu’s!

Could it be that his comprehension of the Star Prison Array surpasses her master’s?

But with the array broken, what use was it to draw a few patterns?

As Qin Yu’s hand moved, Chu Muyin’s expression grew increasingly astonished; within just a few breaths, he had already sketched out forty or fifty array patterns!

“Master Qin truly deserves his reputation, to have such insight into the Star Prison Array.”

Even Emperor Chu’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Across the continent, it seemed unheard of for any Array Master to comprehend forty or fifty patterns; perhaps only an Array Grandmaster once at the summit of the continent could barely reach such heights?

The mysteries of the Star Prison Array far surpass those left by the Carefree Pavilion’s remnants.

Attempting to understand its profundities is not something time alone can remedy!

The skills Qin Yu displayed truly shocked Emperor Chu.

Yet—it was confined to this!

Even if he reached unprecedented depths, so what?

Could he actually deploy the complete Star Prison Array?

At least, in the hundreds of thousands of years, no such individual had ever emerged; otherwise, the Great Immortal Countries would not hold the Star Prison Array in such reverence.

Qin Yu paid no mind to the odd glances from Emperor Chu and the stunning young lady, focusing his mind, a thread of True Essence subtly rising as he etched the patterns.

“Buzz…”

With the last pattern inscribed, an arcane ripple spread out suddenly.

“Star Prison Array?!”

When she saw the complete array before Qin Yu, Chu Muyin’s mouth dropped open, her beautiful eyes wide with incredulity.

“???”

Emperor Chu was utterly confused, even rubbing his eyes before confirming he wasn’t seeing things.

He…

Could actually, singlehandedly, inscribe the entire Star Prison Array?!

Were it not witnessed firsthand, Emperor Chu would never believe the scene was real.

At this moment, Emperor Chu suddenly understood.

Why did Qin Yu carelessly shred the nearly depleted ancient array? Because he could draw out an entire Star Prison Array himself!

“This Master Qin is simply too…”

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner shock.

But, before his words finished, Qin Yu’s wrist flicked, and he hurled the array directly into the deep pit below.

“That’s far too reckless!”

Emperor Chu was astounded.

What are you doing!

This is a treasure of the Human Race, an ancient array—the Star Prison Array!

If you don’t use it to seal and suppress, why toss it down?

“Sss! Sss!”

Next moment, a burning sound arose, Emperor Chu could only vaguely see white smoke rising from the pit.

The Empress, long used to such antics, didn’t even bother explaining to Emperor Chu; since he’d already sworn the Dao, let him see what he wished.

If other Immortal Countries’ ancient arrays stir in the future, should she personally bring Qin Yu over?

Then, if the other Emperors swear powerful vows, wouldn’t she never need to worry about them competing for him?

Imagining the emperors making powerful vows, silent when meeting, their eyes complicated, the Empress suddenly felt like laughing.

No, surely the tribulation hasn’t passed cleanly!

Otherwise, how could her state of mind fluctuate so?

As she thought this, her emotions gradually settled.

“Whoosh!”

As Emperor Chu reeled in shock, Qin Yu conjured another Star Prison Array, and without hesitation, tossed it to where malice was thickest.

[Purifying Malice +100]

[…]

Watching the numbers float by, Qin Yu felt exhilarated in his heart.

Finally, a chance to harvest Flame Points again!

[Cultivation: Early-stage Nascent Soul (25%)]

[Root Bone: Upper Grade Dao Bone (Flame Point 738637/800000)]

[Spiritual Power: Microscopic Initial Stage (Flame Point 738637/200000) (can break through)]

Qin Yu glanced over—though he had already cast down two arrays, the vast malice below showed no sign of diminishing.

It seems, once the hidden danger here is eliminated, his long-stagnant Root Bone might break through again!

“Fa…Father Emperor.”

As Qin Yu cast down a fourth Star Prison Array, Chu Muyin finally snapped out of her daze, covering her mouth in astonishment, turning incredulously to Emperor Chu.

But, she found him equally shocked in expression.

“Is he using arrays…to purify malice?”

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, trying to look composed.

He clearly sensed the Empress’s gaze sweep over him several times, as if admiring the sight of the dignified Emperor Chu in astonishment.

“Indeed.”

The Empress nodded calmly.

Isn’t it obvious?

“Heh heh…”

Emperor Chu wanted to speak, but found his throat dry, unable to make a sound.

Emperor Yan, are you sure you’re not joking?

Malice—cannot be purified by any force!

Even the Empress Dowager of Great Yan, with the auspicious Bright Moon Pearl, could only suppress malice temporarily through Moonlight Power.

As a half-step Venerable, even an Emperor can at best temporarily disperse malice or forcibly suppress it with Origin.

Purify malice?

Unheard of!

If this were possible, why would the Nine Immortal Countries still keep so many Star Prison Arrays for suppressing malice so long?

Wait!

Emperor Chu suddenly realized a grave issue.

The Star Prison Array indeed can suppress malice, but purifying malice? That’s never been heard of!

For a moment, Emperor Chu was utterly baffled.

What is actually going on?

Emperor Chu’s gaze sharpened, locking onto Qin Yu’s actions.

As he traced pattern after pattern, subtly, aside from Spiritual Power, there seemed another mysterious energy.

That energy resembled Spiritual Qi, yet its profundity was akin to the Power of Dao Rhyme; Emperor Chu sensed clearly that it was neither Spiritual Qi nor Dao Rhyme.

What energy could it be?

Is the ability to purify malice due to this energy?

Or, has this Master Qin improved the Star Prison Array?

Shock, confusion, incomprehension!

This lord of Great Chu, for the first time in front of a youth, felt an unfathomable sensation.

“Emperor Chu, do not forget your powerful vow.”

The Empress’s gaze was profound, as if seeing through Emperor Chu’s thoughts.

“I have not been tempted; I will not compete with you for him.”

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, his face resolute.

Internally, he could have cursed himself wildly.

In fact, he was quietly pondering whether breaking his vow—to secure such a rare talent and solve Great Chu’s hidden dangers—would be worth it!

This is the territory of Great Chu Immortal Country; if I played all my cards, how much chance would I have to snatch him from Emperor Yan?

Wait.

I swore not to compete with Emperor Yan for Master Qin.

But what about Chu Muyin?

She didn’t swear!

Emperor Chu’s lips curved; he turned his gaze to Qin Yu, like a father-in-law eyeing a virtuous son-in-law.
