Fusion of the Twin Pupils! Phenomenon Veiling the Heavens!

Hearing Qin Jiuge's words, the old man rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Old Huang?

What kind of name was that?

As he recalled, wasn't that what ordinary households called their pet dogs?

And he had only just acknowledged Qin Jiuge as his master, yet Qin Jiuge was already painting him a big pie in the sky?

Sure, paint big pies—but go fool some dim-witted Artifact Spirit!

He was the dignified Artifact Spirit of an Emperor Weapon, having lived for no less than a million years. What hadn't he seen?

From the old man's understanding, on the Sky Profound Continent, Emperor Weapons were supreme weapons wielded by those at the pinnacle of the human realm.

In other words, the strongest people in this world were Great Emperors.

And the Emperor Weapons in the hands of Great Emperors were the most powerful weapons in this world!

A step further than that would be Immortal Weapons!

Let alone Qin Jiuge, who was merely in the Dharma Aspect Realm—even if those Great Emperors from back then were reborn, they could not possibly transform him, an Emperor Weapon, into an Immortal Weapon!

For a moment, the old man somewhat regretted it. Had he been too hasty...

But on second thought, even if Qin Jiuge had fooled him about taking that further step, providing him with some resources to restore a portion of his origin power and enhance his might was probably not a lie...

Artifact Spirits possessed intelligence too. Who would willingly have their soul scattered and annihilated if they could live?

Besides, although Lin Fan carried decent fortune, following him might eventually allow him to recover some of his origin and might—but how could that compare to following Qin Jiuge?

Having thought it through, the Artifact Spirit no longer resisted and said softly, "Young Master, if you wish to control the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record, you must first recognize it as your master with blood."

Recognize it as master with blood?

Hearing those words, Qin Jiuge suddenly understood.

In both his past and present lives, every top-tier treasure he had heard of or seen required blood to recognize its master.

Without hesitation, he extended his right hand. His sharp nail sliced across his fingertip, and a drop of crimson blood flowed out, falling directly onto the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record.

The next second, unfamiliar information flooded into Qin Jiuge's mind.

"The Yellow Springs Illustrated Record has an unparalleled divine ability on every level?"

"Like that Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger Lin Fan used before?"

"Not bad indeed. As expected of a divine ability carried by an Emperor Weapon."

Qin Jiuge recalled the finger technique Lin Fan had used in the Su Family's Banquet Hall. It had indeed been incomparably fierce and unyielding. If Qin Jiuge had not been powerful enough, with Old Man Lin and Uncle Li protecting him, it truly would have been difficult to handle.

It was just a pity that the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record was severely damaged and could not be used directly in battle at all.

Otherwise, while the other younger generation were still in the Spirit Sea and Dharma Aspect realms, fighting with low-grade Dharma artifacts, he would be in the Dharma Aspect Realm wielding an Emperor Weapon. Wouldn't that be a complete crushing match?

Still, being able to subdue an Emperor Weapon and obtain the Ancient Twin Pupils already left him extremely satisfied.

He should fuse the Ancient Twin Pupils first...

Having made up his mind, Qin Jiuge looked at Old Man Lin and Uncle Li. "You two, I may need to enter seclusion for a while. Please stand guard for me."

As he spoke, Qin Jiuge stood up and walked into his room aboard the Flying Boat.

The Qin Family's Flying Boat was enormous, and everyone had their own private room.

As the Second Sequence among the Qin Family's younger generation, Qin Jiuge was naturally no exception.

After entering the room and securing the door, Qin Jiuge sat on the bed. With a thought, he said, "System, fuse the Twin Pupils."

As Qin Jiuge issued the command, a surging aura erupted from throughout his body the next moment, rushing toward his eyes.

At the same time, outside the Flying Boat.

Black clouds gathered across the sky above the Flying Boat. Countless bolts of lightning as thick as a child's arm roamed ceaselessly through the clouds, unleashing waves of ear-splitting thunder.

Within the clouds, a pair of eyes hundreds of zhang high suddenly appeared.

Most shocking of all, those eyes had four pupils!

Inside the room, divine light flashed in Qin Jiuge's eyes, piercing directly through the Flying Boat's thick walls and shooting into the heavens.

At the same time, the aura around him continued to rise.

Dharma Aspect First Layer... peak Dharma Aspect First Layer... Dharma Aspect Second Layer... peak Dharma Aspect Second Layer...

It continued rising until it reached the peak of the Dharma Aspect Third Layer. Only then did the aura slowly weaken, until it vanished.

While Qin Jiuge fused the Twin Pupils and his strength surged rapidly, Old Man Lin and Uncle Li stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Old Lin, did you see those eyes just now? That was... the Ancient Twin Pupils phenomenon?"

"Who awakened such terrifying Twin Pupils?"

Uncle Li swallowed, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Old Man Lin beside him.

"Who else could it be..."

Old Man Lin looked helplessly toward Qin Jiuge's room, his eyes filled with reverence.

"You mean... this phenomenon was triggered by the Young Master in that room?"

"The Young Master awakened the Ancient Twin Pupils?"

Uncle Li looked incredulously toward the room, then turned to Old Man Lin.

"Old Lin, you aren't fooling me, are you?"

"You have to understand, Ancient Twin Pupils can only be awakened innately. Though there have been precedents of postnatal awakening, the conditions are simply too harsh..."

"Not only must the awakener possess extraordinary talent, one in ten thousand, they must also have a latent Twin Pupils bloodline from birth..."

"Either one of these conditions is as hard as ascending to the heavens... The Young Master really..."

As Qin Jiuge's Guardian, Uncle Li's loyalty was beyond doubt.

Moreover, as Qin Jiuge's Guardian, their fates could be said to rise and fall together.

The stronger Qin Jiuge became, the more benefits he, as a Guardian, would receive in the future!

Yet even so, he still could not believe that Qin Jiuge had actually awakened the Ancient Twin Pupils!

After all, not long ago, Qin Jiuge had only just awakened the Chaos Body, ranked first among the Ten Great Divine Bodies of the Sky Profound Continent!

How many days had it been? And he had awakened the Ancient Twin Pupils again?

What kind of monstrous combination was this?

"This aura..."

Old Man Lin turned toward Qin Jiuge's room, disbelief filling his eyes.

"Has he reached the third layer of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

He knew that Qin Jiuge had only broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm not long ago!

It was precisely because Qin Jiuge had awakened the Chaos Body and broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm that the Qin Family decided to hand ordinary Dark Guards over to Qin Jiuge's command.

How long had it been?

Yet he had forcibly broken through two more realms?

Old Man Lin could not help recalling how he had cultivated painstakingly in his youth, only breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm after reaching an advanced age.

Truly... comparing people could drive one to death from anger...

However, this feeling soon turned into relief.

Relief that Qin Jiuge was not someone else, but the Young Master of their Qin Family!

Judging by this trend, in the Divine Son Competition two months from now, the Divine Son Position would belong to none other than Qin Jiuge!

With such monstrous talent, just what heights would Qin Jiuge reach in the future?

Old Man Lin and Uncle Li exchanged a glance. It was as though they could already see the Qin Family soaring into the sky in a single leap!
