CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 263: MISSING MY SENIOR SISTERS_2

Although this cultivation skill is now commonplace, only those from the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land are able to cultivate it. The name of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land carries such weight that almost no one dares to violate this rule. This is essentially a forbidden technique. Of course, the cultivation skill from the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land is useless to most people if they lack the necessary talent. They basically can’t cultivate it.

"Xiao Hao, your brother didn’t mean it that way." Seeing the two were about to argue again, Qin Yang felt a headache coming on and stepped forward to soothe them.

Wen Zhixing, however, suddenly spoke with a smile. "Big Brother, Mr. Yang said that in a few days, he’ll take you to the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. There, you can freely cultivate any of its cultivation skills."

Qin Hao was slightly surprised to hear that Qin Yang would also take him to the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. He then looked towards Qin Yang with excitement. "Mr. Yang, really?"

"Cough... Yes, I’ve already arranged everything for you. I just haven’t had the chance to tell you." Qin Yang nodded with a smile, his eyes brimming with affection.

In reality, he had made no such preparations. This spot would require a tremendous sacrifice. But under these circumstances, he could only say yes.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Qin Hao bowed in thanks, his face full of joy.

With this settled, he no longer needed to worry. As long as he obtained the cultivation token, even if it was later taken back, it wouldn’t matter. Having held that identity, he could freely cultivate all the skills within the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. This point was the most critical. In the future, even if he didn’t join the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, he could use its resources and cultivation skills with a clear conscience.

"Big Brother, just focus on cultivating this skill. After all, it’s just a matter of time," Wen Zhixing smiled slightly.

"Hmph! When the time comes, I’ll cultivate it myself. I don’t need your so-called kindness." Upon hearing this, Qin Hao’s smile faded, and he remained guarded. He wouldn’t believe that Qin Tian had changed for no reason at all.

It’s too fake. What if this bastard goes back and reports me...

"Big Brother, you’re really misunderstanding me." Hearing this, Wen Zhixing’s face showed a sorrowful expression. "Big Brother, I’ve never seen you as a rival, truly. If you don’t believe me, Big Brother, then this person, Wen Zhixing (referring to myself by my true name), I am willing to yield to you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang and Qin Tian (Wen Zhixing himself, maintaining his act) both wore expressions of surprise.

Is he for real? Has ’Qin Tian’ truly lost it?

Qin Hao wondered, and perhaps Qin Yang too.

Seeing their reactions, Wen Zhixing shook his head, then forced a smile. "Big Brother, rest assured. When we return to the sect, we can sign a contract."

"Xiao Tian, are you serious?" Although Qin Hao still found it somewhat incredible, his tone softened a bit.

Could it be that Qin Tian has truly come to his senses?

"Xiao Tian, you can’t possibly..." However, upon hearing this, Qin Yang seemed somewhat dissatisfied. In his view, Qin Tian’s potential was much greater than Qin Hao’s. How could he let go of the most powerful Genius Spirit? What a waste!

"Mr. Yang, you’re mistaken. Big Brother’s talents are not inferior to mine. If he had the most powerful Genius Spirit, how strong would he become?" Before Qin Hao could speak, Wen Zhixing spoke again, his tone earnest and even reverent towards Qin Hao.

"Xiao Tian, you..." Qin Yang frowned. What on earth is going on with Qin Tian? He had watched these brothers grow up; how could he not know they were at odds with each other? He only hoped for Qin Hao and Qin Tian to maintain a semblance of harmony on the surface. He truly didn’t believe what Qin Tian was saying.

Ignoring Qin Yang, Wen Zhixing stepped forward, his attitude extremely sincere. "Big Brother, I was wrong before. I’ve recently come to understand that brotherly affection is more important than anything. As for this Wen Zhixing (myself), I will find a way to place everything I am into your hands."

"Xiao Tian..." Qin Hao looked at his younger brother in front of him, feeling that something was off. But "Qin Tian" had gone to such lengths, even agreeing to sign a contract when they returned. It seems I have to believe him, whether I want to or not, Qin Hao thought.

Wen Zhixing knew they didn’t believe him. He laughed again and explained, "Mr. Yang, Big Brother, don’t worry. I no longer need anyone else’s Genius Spirit." He then released a strand of aura from the Heart of Eternity from within his body.

"This is... Genius Spirit!"

Feeling this aura, both men were flabbergasted.

"Xiao Tian, you’ve broken through?" Shock filled Qin Yang’s eyes.

How is this possible? I didn’t notice anything just a moment ago! Qin Tian has actually broken through to the Genius Spirit Realm!

Qin Hao was also stunned. How did he break through so suddenly? And the aura of this Genius Spirit... it’s terrifyingly strong!

"Such a powerful Genius Spirit!" Qin Hao couldn’t help but exclaim, his face showing surprise and delight. This aura of the Genius Spirit was even stronger than the one he had condensed back then. And upon sensing this aura, his primordial fetus slowly opened its eyes. This showed just how extraordinary the Genius Spirit was.

"Big Brother, Mr. Yang, this is my good fortune. I originally didn’t want to reveal it, but you are the closest people to me, so I’m showing it only to you." Wen Zhixing spoke solemnly, enunciating each word with strength and conviction.

Of course, that was just what he said, Wen Zhixing thought. In reality, the power he had just displayed was merely one part in several thousands of the Heart of Eternity’s true potential. The potential of the Heart of Eternity was truly enormous.

"So that’s how it is. No wonder you were willing to hand Wen Zhixing over to me..." Qin Hao also had a moment of realization. It turned out that Qin Tian had other resources at his disposal. Or rather, resources that Qin Hao prized highly seemed utterly dispensable in Qin Tian’s eyes.

With this revelation, a tremendous sense of defeat surged in Qin Hao’s heart.

I’ve lost... At this moment, I’m utterly defeated, he thought.

"Big Brother, don’t worry. If we brothers unite, what great cause can’t we achieve?" Wen Zhixing reached out and proactively grasped Qin Hao’s hand.

Qin Hao looked up. Seeing Wen Zhixing’s sincere gaze, his heart felt somewhat dazed. He, too, grasped Wen Zhixing’s hand and nodded. "Alright, Xiao Tian, let’s unite as brothers!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Yang, who was beside them, also revealed a look of joy in his eyes.

That’s right! This is how brothers should be, Qin Yang thought with joy. This is the true meaning of brotherhood—mutual support.

For a moment, the atmosphere among the three was more harmonious than ever before.

HUMMM!!!

Just then, Qin Yang’s Message Jade Talisman suddenly began to flash vigorously. His expression changed slightly in the next moment. It seemed something important had come through the Message Jade Talisman.

"Mr. Yang, what’s wrong?" Wen Zhixing and Qin Hao both turned to look when they noticed.

Wen Zhixing furrowed his brows slightly. Could the Lu Family have employed some tactic? he wondered.

Qin Yang shook his head. He put down the Message Jade Talisman and explained, "The sect is selecting the Godson. The selection is finalized. Let’s hurry back."

"Selecting the Godson?"

Wen Zhixing visibly relaxed. Good, the Lu Family hasn’t come, he thought. However, this was still a significant matter. The Godson of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect was extremely important. It represented the future of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

"Liu Qingdai, Bai Luqiu, Yun Xinyue, and Wen Miner... It seems they are all candidates for the Divine Sect’s Godson." Wen Zhixing suddenly remembered these four individuals.

I wonder how they’re faring, he mused. Since coming to Zhongzhou, he had yet to see any of them. The only news he had received was what Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli had told him. So much time had passed, it felt as if they had completely lost contact.

Alright, after I deal with Qin Hao, I’ll take them all away, Wen Zhixing decided. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them. I quite miss them. Especially Bai Luqiu and Liu Qingdai. As for Yun Xinyue... just kill her. I have no need for disobedient people.

Soon, a flying boat turned into a stream of light and hurried away.

Originally, the Godson’s Position had been reserved for Qin Hao and Qin Tian. But this time, there were quite a few strong contenders. They still had to hurry back; otherwise, any unexpected developments would be problematic.

「Meanwhile, within the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.」

To the surprise of many, the Lu Family hadn’t come knocking to demand an explanation. Everything was as usual. It was as if all the commotion in the outside world was just a rumor. However, disturbances rippled through the interior of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

「The Lower Three Veins – Purple Bamboo Peak.」

BOOM!

A ferocious aura emanated.

A woman in white stood amidst the void, gazing down at the mountains below.

At that moment, the peaks that were originally peaceful and tranquil suddenly erupted with an incredibly strong wave of spiritual power. The surge of spiritual energy spread through the entire Purple Bamboo Peak in almost an instant.
