The instant Qin Jiuge pushed open the door, he froze where he stood.

As the Second Sequence among the Qin Family's younger generation, Qin Jiuge held a high position in the family and received excellent treatment.

The residence he lived in was considered one of the more luxurious ones in the Qin Family. Not only that, it came with a spacious courtyard, remarkably like a villa from his previous life.

Qin Jiuge estimated that the courtyard alone covered two or three hundred square meters.

Yet now, this vast courtyard was packed solid with a sea of people.

Drawing on the original owner's memories, Qin Jiuge identified them one by one.

Standing at the very front were his father, Qin Ming, his grandfather, Qin Zhong, and several Elders of the clan.

Behind them stood some of the Qin Family's middle- and lower-ranking members, all staring eagerly toward the room's door.

When Qin Jiuge emerged, Qin Ming was visibly exhilarated. His broad Square Face was filled with disbelief. "Is that really my son?"

"The genius who awakened the Chaos Body—is that really my son?"

Qin Ming's voice brimmed with excitement. Qin Jiuge had no doubt that if the courtyard had not been so crowded, Qin Ming would have been grinning from ear to ear.

Qin Ming was incomparably excited.

Earlier, he and several clan Elders had followed the phenomenon to Qin Jiuge's courtyard. Even then, he had found it hard to believe that Qin Jiuge was the one who had awakened the Chaos Body.

After all, no one knew a son better than his father. Qin Ming knew exactly what Qin Jiuge's talent was like, so he had never connected the Chaos Body with Qin Jiuge.

At the time, he had even wondered whether Qin Jiuge had brought back a genius possessing the Chaos Body from outside during this trip.

Such a genius, no matter where they were on the continent, would be someone everyone would frantically try to win over and recruit.

Qin Ming had thought that if Qin Jiuge could gain the support of a Chaos Body genius, then even if he lost the Young Master Contest, his treatment in the future would not be too poor.

After all, not even the Qin Family dared to underestimate the might of the Chaos Body.

But he had never expected that the one who had awakened the Chaos Body was not someone Qin Jiuge had brought back, but Qin Jiuge himself!

Qin Ming was practically overjoyed... How could an outsider awakening the Chaos Body compare to his own son?

"Congratulations, Family Head! Young Master Jiuge is extraordinarily gifted and brilliantly talented. In the future, he will certainly lead the Qin Family to glory!"

"Exactly! Only two Chaos Bodies have ever appeared across the Sky Profound Continent, and each one attained the Great Emperor Dao. Young Master Jiuge is not even twenty yet—his future is boundless. The Qin Family has hope!"

"In my capacity as a Main Line Elder of the Qin Family, I decree that from today onward, all cultivation resources of the Qin Family's main line shall be directed toward Jiuge! Even if we have to pile resources on him, we will raise Jiuge up!"

Great Elder Qin Lang's graying beard trembled as he announced this loudly.

Even so, no one raised any objections.

This was the Chaos Body! A Chaos Body that had appeared only twice in the entire history of the Sky Profound Continent!

It could be said that the Chaos Body was a guarantee of attaining the Great Emperor Dao!

"Jiuge, did you break through? What is your cultivation now?"

Just as everyone was imagining what surprises the future Qin Jiuge would bring to the Qin Family once he had grown, Qin Ming's puzzled voice sounded beside him.

"Reporting to Father, your son has just broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Qin Jiuge clasped his hands toward Qin Ming and answered respectfully.

"Hahaha! As expected of the Chaos Body! Not only is its combat power terrifying, its cultivation speed is also extraordinary!"

"Of course! I had been worried that the position of Qin Family Young Master might fall into someone else's hands, but now it seems that the Qin Family Young Master must come from our line!"

The several Elders looked at Qin Jiuge with blazing eyes, leaving him somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright, Jiuge, we will not disturb you any longer... Remember, if you need anything at all, you can come to any one of us."

As Great Elder spoke, he turned and headed out of the courtyard.

"Qin Jiuge sees off the Elders!"

Qin Jiuge clasped his hands toward the Elders' departing backs, then discovered in surprise that several people had yet to leave.

His grandfather, Qin Zhong, and Qin Ling, the Vein Lord of his branch of the Qin Family.

"Jiuge, did you encounter some fortuitous opportunity during this trip to the Profound Heaven Sect? How did you suddenly awaken the Chaos Body?"

Qin Ming looked at Qin Jiuge in astonishment and asked.

Qin Jiuge's talent had never been poor; otherwise, he could not have squeezed into the Five Great Sequences among the Qin Family's younger generation, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abounded. But even so, compared to the Chaos Body, it was not worth a penny!

Hearing Qin Ming's question, Qin Jiuge thought for a moment and put on an innocent expression. "I did not do much. I just stood up for my fiancée, so that those people from the Profound Heaven Sect would not bully her while she had lost her talent..."

"After returning, I felt my dantian swelling, as though something were about to come out..."

Hearing this, Qin Ming could not help but be dumbfounded...

He had done nothing, merely stood up for his fiancée?

What kind of nonsense was that?

First of all, Chaos Bodies were not cabbages growing by the roadside, available in unlimited supply. How could one possibly obtain one so easily?

More importantly, had he not sent Qin Jiuge to the Profound Heaven Sect to break off the engagement? How had it turned into standing up for his fiancée?

"Qin Ming... I think Jiuge's situation is rather special. He may possess a latent Chaos Body constitution, which is why it only awakened recently..."

Qin Ling stroked his white beard, wearing a contemplative expression.

Qin Zhong heard Qin Ling's words clearly.

A hidden Chaos Body... As long as Qin Jiuge did not die young or fall midway, the Qin Family would belong to their branch in the future.

"Hahahahaha! My son Jiuge has the potential of a Great Emperor!"

Hearing Qin Ming praise him like that, the corner of Qin Jiuge's mouth twitched slightly.

Why was this path of development becoming more and more like that of a villain?

"Father, stop talking for now..."

Qin Jiuge stopped Qin Ming, who was about to continue.

"Jiuge... The First Sequence is merely at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, with the Nine Dragon Divine Body as support. Yet you have awakened the Chaos Body, so wondrous and extraordinary that even though you have only just broken through, you can easily defeat him."

"Cultivate properly during this time, lest you capsize in a gutter."

"To protect your safety, a squad of Dark Guards from our branch will be placed under your command."

Hearing Qin Ling say this, Qin Jiuge was secretly startled.

The Dark Guards were an extremely powerful force within their branch.

Every squad had one Life and Death expert, ten Nirvana experts, and a hundred Dharma Aspect experts!

There were even rumors that the Left and Right Protectors of the Dark Guards possessed Supreme Realm cultivation. They obeyed only the Family Head's commands; no one else could move them.

The moment Qin Ling finished speaking, Qin Ming impatiently opened his mouth.

"Considering that you awakened the Chaos Body, I will not hold it against you for refusing to break off the engagement without permission."

Qin Jiuge hurriedly nodded. He had originally feared that Qin Ming would bring up this matter. Now that Qin Ming had tacitly approved of it, was that not even better?

Afterward, Qin Ming and Qin Ling left Qin Jiuge's courtyard one after the other...
