Chapter 534: Chapter 535 How did you do that?

A terrifying and heart-stirring oppressiveness moved Yuan Supreme, as he could clearly see that Lin Qian was only at the First Level of the Awakening Realm.

Yet, such a realm could unleash such a profound aura. Indeed, as the elder had said, Lin Qian was a rare genius, truly one of a kind!

However, in just a moment, the aura on Lin Qian dissipated, forcibly retracted into his body.

“I’ve made Elder Yuan laugh. The situation with my parents caused me to lose composure,” Lin Qian apologized to Yuan Supreme after regaining his composure.

Yuan Supreme waved his hand, expressing his apologies to Lin Qian. “The ancestral teachings prevent our Yuan family from assisting the young master. The Yun family is involved too.”

“But I am also curious. Since Elder Yuan ordered your Yuan family to recognize me as the young master and follow my commands, yet you cannot intervene on my behalf, isn’t that very contradictory?” Lin Qian was completely baffled by the situation.

Yuan Supreme sighed lightly and explained to Lin Qian, “Young Master, being new to the Central Domain, you probably don’t fully understand our Yuan family yet.”

“Our Yuan family is not only the leading force of the Human Clan but is also known as the Guardian Clan because we are descendants of Lord Xuan; it is our duty to protect the entire Human Clan,” Yuan Supreme earnestly explained, looking at Lin Qian.

“Now compared to the past, the Human Clan certainly doesn’t shine as brightly and faces many challenges. Our Yuan family holds a natural position of power, ranking at the top in the Human Clan, occupying as many as eight hundred states in the Central Domain.”

“However, we have an ancestral teaching that absolutely prohibits us from participating in the conflicts of the Human Clan; we only develop ourselves in secret.”

“In fact, there are often disputes at the borders of the Human Clan territories with other races. The main Human Clan warriors stationed at the borders of these territories are all from our Yuan family.”

“Any strong members of the Yuan family, aside from preserving our familial legacy, almost exclusively go to the borders of the territories to resist those covetous foreign races.”

“Younger generations of the Yuan family also go to the borders of the Human Clan to temper themselves and protect the remaining territories of the Human Clan. Almost every day, members of the Yuan family die in battle at the borders.”

“As for myself, being the strongest member of the Yuan family, my responsibility is to guard this gateway. Should any foreign race emerge from it, I will be the first to confront them. Even if it means sacrificing this old life, I will have no regrets.”

“The importance of this gateway is something you, young master, must also be well aware of, so there’s no need for me to elaborate further.”

“Thus, the strongest in the Yuan family will all become Gatekeepers, and the entire Yuan family serves as the guardians of the entire Human Clan.”

“This is our clan’s mission, which is why we have such an ancestral teaching. Our Yuan family cannot intervene in the conflicts of the Human Clan’s forces unless there is an atrocious act that truly demands our intervention.”

“The elder once said that if the young master confronts a foreign race in the future, then our Yuan family might be called upon. For confrontations with ordinary Human Clan forces, there’s no need for our assistance.”

At this point, Yuan Supreme’s face showed a hint of confusion, not quite understanding the elder’s past instructions.

Could it be that the Empire known as Huaxia, possessed by the young master, might not be able to compete with the powers of the Central Domain?

With this thought, Yuan Supreme shook his head and chuckled at his own fanciful thinking.

Lin Qian was indeed talented and gifted, a fact that also acknowledged him as the emperor of a force in the Southern Domain.

The title of Emperor truly implied confidence.

In Yuan Supreme’s view, Lin Qian’s Huaxia Empire managing to occupy seven or eight states in the Southern Domain was probably already reaching its limit.

Curiously, Yuan Supreme raised his cup of Spiritual Tea and asked Lin Qian, “Speaking of which, I’m quite curious, how many states does your Huaxia Empire have in the Southern Domain?”

After asking, Yuan Supreme sipped some Spiritual Tea and quietly waited for Lin Qian’s response.

“Hmm?” Upon hearing Yuan Supreme’s words, Lin Qian came back to his senses.

After hearing Yuan Supreme’s earlier descriptions, he had developed sincere respect for the Yuan family, descendants of Lord Xuan and continual protectors of the Human Clan.

Such noble character truly inspired admiration in Lin Qian, and he greatly praised their selfless spirit.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but consider his own position, reckoning that he probably wouldn’t act the same as a guardian clan.

Instead, he would directly deploy the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army to annihilate those foreign races that frequently harassed the Human Clan, seizing their territories and subduing those decent races to integrate them into the Huaxia Empire.

As for the more barbaric races, like those of the Giant Ghost Clan and the Dwarf Ghost Clan from the Origin State, they would simply be exterminated.

Lin Qian had even simulated in his mind what it would be like to actually go to war with a foreign race.

It wasn’t until Yuan Supreme’s inquiry that he snapped out of his reverie.

Regaining his focus, Lin Qian responded to Yuan Supreme, “Including a Small World, the Four Directions World, and a part of the underground world, my Huaxia Empire encompasses a total of one thousand nine hundred seventy-five states.”

“Pfft!”

Upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, Yuan Supreme involuntarily spat out his tea.

Fortunately, Lin Qian had gathered Soul Power over his face, preventing the tea from splashing onto him.

“One… one thousand nine hundred seventy-five states? The entire Southern Domain only has one thousand nine hundred seventy-two states; does that mean, young master, you…” Yuan Supreme ignored the tea on his graying beard, staring at Lin Qian in disbelief.

“Yes, a few years ago some people challenged me, suggesting that if I dared, I should go to war with the Southern Domain,” Lin Qian picked up his tea cup, blew on the steam, and sipped it slowly, smiling at Yuan Supreme, “After all, I am a young man and quick to anger. In a fit of rage, I conquered the entire Southern Domain. Hence, the one thousand nine hundred seventy-two states of the Southern Domain are now all under the territory of my Huaxia Empire.”

Yuan Supreme, looking at the young man before him, felt a chill instinctively rise up his spine.

Conquering the entire Southern Domain wouldn’t be difficult for the top forces of the Central Domain, even the upper echelon forces could do it.

It’s just that the Spiritual Energy in the Four Domains was nowhere as rich as in the Central Domain, not worth their effort to wage war.

However, what truly terrified Yuan Supreme was that Lin Qian mentioned starting the conquest of the entire Southern Domain two years ago.

To have taken down one thousand nine hundred seventy-two states in two years, how did he accomplish that?
