Zhou Qiongtian trusted no one else. Even those with extremely high cultivation would only be delivering themselves to the slaughter, dying in all manner of bizarre ways and becoming experience fodder. The Child of Destiny's strength would rise with a bang, bang, bang, until they fought their way to his doorstep. Then Zhou Qiongtian would truly have nowhere to cry.
Just as Zhou Qiongtian was preparing to send someone to investigate the Northern Region, a fragrant breeze swept over him.
"My dear little brother, I missed you to death! Hurry and let your sister hug you!"
Before Zhou Qiongtian could react, Zhou Xinchi had already pounced on him.
Zhou Qiongtian only felt surging waves engulf him; two soft, warm mounds pressed against his face, and his whole body sank into a tender paradise.
Ah~ So white, so big, so soft...
Zhou Zimo looked at Zhou Xinchi, then lowered her head to look at her own—flat as a plain.
Zhou Zimo snorted coldly. Those things only hindered combat. Being that big definitely made them a burden.
She could only comfort herself like this, though inwardly she had already cried herself unconscious in the restroom.
"Ah~ This is exactly the scent! I'm thoroughly satisfied. Little brother, your energy replenishment is complete!"
"Little brother, do you want to come to your sister's empire? Your sister has everything there. You won't need to do anything; your sister will support you."
Zhou Xinchi spoke with extravagant boldness. The Heart Pond Empire's commerce spread across the Azure World, and it possessed countless resources. It was a genuine superpower!
Zhou Qiongtian had never wanted to work hard in the first place. He had once thought how wonderful it would be if some rich woman would keep him. Now things were perfect—the rich woman was even his own sister.
But this sort of thing would have to wait. I need to raise my strength as quickly as possible!
Only after quite a while did Zhou Qiongtian finally emerge from Zhou Xinchi's broad embrace, looking somewhat helpless.
Zhou Zimo gave a light snort. "Sister Xinchi, Qiongtian needs to cultivate properly right now. Your place is far too comfortable."
Zhou Qiongtian hurriedly nodded, silently giving Zhou Zimo a thumbs-up.
Zhou Xinchi also nodded, seemingly finding Zhou Zimo's words very reasonable. Then she took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhou Qiongtian.
"Little brother, these are just some little trinkets from your sister. Don't disdain them. But if you don't find them good enough, you can pick anything you like from my place."
Zhou Qiongtian accepted it with a smile and thanked her.
Zhou Xinchi waved her hand. "Why thank me? We're family."
Zhou Qiongtian sent his divine sense into the storage ring, and shock immediately appeared on his face.
The Azure World's treasures, cultivation methods, pills, and the like were divided into eight grades: Mortal, Spirit, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, Venerable, and Emperor.
This storage ring contained all kinds of treasures, pills, and cultivation methods, ranging from Mortal-grade to Venerable-grade! And there was quite a large quantity of them!
The Venerable-grade items in particular were exceedingly rare even among superpowers. They were the most precious possessions of an entire faction.
Venerable-grade cultivation methods were one thing. Zhou Kuang had given Zhou Qiongtian the Emperor-grade Cultivation Method he cultivated, the Savage Tyrant Art, so Zhou Qiongtian did not lack cultivation methods.
However, if they were used to nurture his own faction, these cultivation methods would be tremendously useful.
There were three Venerable-grade treasures in total: a sword, a small azure shield, and a painting.
The Mystic Heaven Sword, the Azure Shield, and the Heaven and Earth Scroll!
Though there were only three Venerable-grade treasures, some superpowers did not even possess a single one. This was enough to show just how profound the Heart Pond Empire's foundations were.
"Do you like them, little brother?" Zhou Xinchi asked with a smile, walking around behind Zhou Qiongtian and gently embracing him.
"I do."
Feeling the soft warmth behind him, Zhou Qiongtian coughed. Zhou Xinchi released him with a giggle.
"I heard Father plans to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the successful replacement of your bones and eyes, inviting many superpowers," Zhou Xinchi said. Sitting in a chair to the side with her legs crossed, she exuded boundless charm, with an added hint of seductive grace.
Zhou Zimo nodded. "That is indeed the case. On one hand, Father wants to build momentum for Qiongtian. On the other, he probably wants to knock those superpowers into line. Recently, some of them have been getting rather restless."
Northern Region, Qingyang Town.
"Lin Tian, what did you do to me last night? I'm your father's woman!"
Lin Tian opened his eyes. Before him stood a seductive woman with peach blossom eyes and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. Her figure was alluring, yet her clothes were in complete disarray.
She stared at him with a resentful, dreamy gaze.
She appeared flustered and shocked, but a chill lay hidden in the depths of her eyes.
Lin Tian did not panic. Instead, he remained extremely calm.
"I've been reborn?"
Lin Tian was a Great Emperor expert of the Azure World, known as the Limitless Demon Emperor!
By chance, he had obtained the Demon God Core. Legend said that this Demon God Core could allow a Great Emperor to break through into an even higher realm.
Lin Tian had been besieged by the Savage Great Emperor, the Azure Sky Emperor, and others. At the cost of his Great Emperor cultivation, he activated the Demon God Core and actually crossed the River of Time, returning to five hundred years ago.
In this life, he would make those people pay in blood!
Sealed memories surfaced. This scene before him had once played out before Lin Tian as well. The woman before him was named Jin Lian, his father's concubine.
Last night, he had been drugged by the Great Elder and fallen unconscious. Jin Lian had secretly colluded with the Great Elder to eliminate Lin Tian, allowing the Great Elder to smoothly become the Lin Family's patriarch.
Lin Tian examined himself internally. His dantian had been crippled and his meridians shattered. What a mess.
Without even sparing Jin Lian a glance, Lin Tian sat cross-legged and directly used a healing cultivation method. In his previous life, Lin Tian had been a Martial Emperor. For something as trivial as shattered meridians and a crippled dantian, he naturally possessed countless solutions.
What he was now using was precisely the Emperor-grade Cultivation Method from his previous life, the Life Creation Art!
Countless strands of heaven and earth Spiritual Power gathered toward him, even forming a spiritual energy vortex above Lin Tian.
Jin Lian widened her eyes at the side. What was going on? Wasn't Lin Tian a useless cripple incapable of cultivation? What was with this spiritual energy?
In merely a few breaths, Lin Tian's meridians had been reforged and his dantian restored, even becoming thirty percent stronger than before.
Just then, Lin Tian's door was kicked open. "Jin Lian, what happened to you?"
A figure appeared. He was a middle-aged man with a square face, broad nostrils, and narrow-set eyes—features unforgettable at a single glance. He was none other than the Lin Family's Great Elder.
Lin Tian looked over, revealing a mocking smile.
The Great Elder looked at Lin Tian. That mocking smile gave him an inexplicable chill.
"Lin Tian, I never thought you would be such a beastly, inhuman thing!" The Great Elder immediately flew into a rage and moved to seize Lin Tian.
Lin Tian sneered and dodged aside. Spiritual Power surged within him as he struck his palm at the Great Elder's dantian from a tricky angle.
The next instant, the Great Elder let out a painful howl. His dantian had actually been crippled!
Crippled by a useless wretch!
The Body Tempering Realm was divided into five minor stages: Skin Refining, Muscle Refining, Bone Refining, Organ Refining, and Marrow Refining.
The Great Elder was merely at the Bone Refining Realm. Though Lin Tian had once been crippled, his foundation remained. He had once been Qingyang Town's number one genius, an Organ Refining Realm expert at only eighteen years old.
Now that his dantian had recovered, coupled with five hundred years of combat experience, this outcome was only natural.
Lin Tian was no longer the Lin Tian of before.
