Upper Thousand Provinces, Outer Star Sea, atop the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Twelve Bronze Ancient Mirrors suspended in mid-air, reflecting the anomalies of the Qin Clan Ancestral Grounds.
"One hundred and eight immortal bones, one thousand and eighty supreme bones." Old Man Tianji's withered fingers swept across the Star Chart, his murky eyes reflecting the shattered heavenly phenomenon. "The Qin Clan truly intends to forge a Supreme Immortal Body..."
Inside the hall, the Twelve Ancient Beings fell silent simultaneously.
With the Heavenly Emperor absent, even knowing about it, no one could stop the Qin Clan from touching a taboo.
--Rumor has it that people at the dawn of the creation of heaven and earth were born undying, could pluck the stars with a wave of their hands, and could shatter great realms between breaths.
Later generations called them the Primordial God Race.
After the Primordial Era passed, another kind of people was born, born as saints, immortal and indestructible.
Later generations called them Celestial Beings.
However, through bloodline evolution down to the present day, anyone in the world had long lost even a tiny bit of Primordial and Celestial Being bloodline.
Yet such a method had been passed down.
Rumor has it that forging one hundred and eight immortal bones and one thousand and eighty supreme bones into a furnace using secret methods.
Taking a hundred years, one could reverse ancestors through the Calamity Source and give birth to the Primordial God Race who ruled over all daos.
--This was a Forbidden Method.
The Primordial Qin Clan did not harbor extravagant hopes; what they believed in was another legend.
Nourishing a fetus with supreme bones and immortal bones for a hundred years would definitely produce an immortal body.
What they wanted was a Qilin Child with a Supreme Immortal Body!
Upper Thousand Provinces, Ten Directions Immortal Court.
Emperor Domain, Central Province.
The longevity imperial clan, the Qin Clan.
This world had the Lower Thousand Provinces, Middle Thousand Provinces, and Upper Thousand Provinces, collectively called the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
And at the peak of the Upper Thousand Provinces, there was still a supreme heaven and earth that surpassed myriads of realms.
Lower realm cultivators revered it as "Heaven Above Heaven", yet those who truly resided within it only called it by its true name--
"Ten Directions Immortal Court"
This name originated from the Ten Great Imperial Clans residing here together, each occupying a side of the heavenly gate, like ten blazing suns ruling over myriads of realms.
As one of the Ten Great Imperial Clans, the Qin Clan's foundation was so profound that it was enough to make the Heavens and Myriad Realms tremble.
--Not only were there nearly a hundred Great Emperors in the clan, but there was also a supreme Heavenly Emperor who could suppress Myriad Ages with the lift of a finger!
At this moment, outside the Jietian Tower deep within the Qin Clan's forbidden grounds.
More than a dozen terrifying auras shrouded all directions.
These figures were all the most powerful contemporary elders of the Qin Clan, and every single one of them was a peerless Great Emperor who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
And because Great Emperors could not be looked upon directly nor their names chanted, those who descended here were all Great Emperor Dharma Bodies.
Yet even as Dharma Bodies, stamping their feet on ordinary days could make the Three Thousand Dao Provinces tremble.
At this moment, however, all of their expressions were solemn.
Their gazes were locked tightly onto that closed bronze giant door of the Jietian Tower, their eyes faintly revealing a trace of... anxiety!
Above the Jietian Tower, 1080 supreme bones rotated like 1080 stars around the outer circle of the Jietian Tower.
A steady stream of golden energy was drawn out from them and converged toward the center.
While in the inner circle, 108 immortal bones were arranged into the profound Jietian Array.
The energy delivered by the supreme bones was purified layer by layer, and ultimately transformed into wisps of Chaos Origin infused into the unborn fetus within the Jietian Tower.
"It has been three days..." First Elder Qin Xuantian's voice was hoarse, his horsetail whisk unconsciously rubbing between his hands.
The Qin Clan had prepared for this for a long time; if there were any accidents during the birth of this immortal body, all their previous efforts would flow away in vain.
Beside him, the Second Elder held his hands behind his back.
He appeared calm, but his slightly trembling sleeves exposed his unsettled heart.
Although the younger generation of the Qin Clan also had decent constitutions, if another immortal body appeared.
Then the struggle of the great era hereafter would hold even greater certainty.
"It begins." A voice seemed to come from the distant sky, falling into everyone's ear.
This was the Qin Clan Ancestor, a Heavenly Emperor.
Although he had not been born into the world, he was likewise paying attention to this scene.
As his voice fell.
The moment the very last thread of energy was extracted, the 1080 supreme bones on the outermost layer of the Jietian Tower suddenly broke through the air, transforming into stars all over the sky that dotted the firmament.
The 108 immortal bones erupted with dazzling divine light, resembling 108 great suns traversing the void!
Then, like homing birds, they plunged entirely into the body of the fetus within the tower amidst brilliant divine light.
The entire forbidden ground shook violently, the void shattering inch by inch as if unable to bear this terrifying power.
Qin Fuhai stood atop Jietian Tower with his hands behind his back, his dark robe snapping fiercely in the gale wind.
His deep gaze pierced through heavy layers of cloud sea, looking toward the array runes in the distance that covered the sky and sun, which were rippling at this moment because the stars transformed from the Supreme Bone were passing through—
That was the Thirty-Three Heavens Profound Dome Array, painstakingly and specially deployed by the Qin Clan over a millennium.
A top-tier array integrating both offense and defense, without equal!
One could easily see how much importance the Qin Clan attached to this birth.
The madam has given birth!
A delivery midwife shouted, her voice carrying undisguised excitement.
Qin Fuhai's figure trembled slightly, his knuckles involuntarily tightening around the railing.
Behind him, Yun Qiuying's cries of pain pierced through the palace, every sound tugging at the heartstrings of this Great Emperor expert.
The ones inside were none other than his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Boom—
Suddenly, the entire building trembled violently, and countless runes lit up from the immortal bone.
Qin Fuhai's pupils constricted as he watched a heaven-piercing light pillar shoot up into the sky from the delivery room, instantly piercing through the thirty-three major arrays.
Waa—
Following a clear cry, that brilliant immortal light erupted completely, illuminating the entire Emperor Domain.
When Qin Fuhai trembled as he took the infant in swaddling clothes, this peerless expert who terrified the Three Thousand Dao Provinces froze on the spot.
He saw that the infant in his hands was actually wreathed in a layer of hazy chaos immortal light all over his body!
That immortal light was like mist and vapor, seeming present yet absent, yet it contained an ancient aura that made even heaven and earth tremble with fear.
As the immortal light circulated, the infant's skin was as crystal-clear as jade, his immortal bones within were as transparent as glazed glass, and three thousand golden Dao patterns could be faintly seen swimming through his blood vessels.
Every single one seemed to bear the power of the ages.
Even more terrifyingly—
Every single breath he took caused heaven and earth spiritual energy to form a vortex!
With every inhalation and exhalation, the void trembled, and spiritual energy surged into his body like a tide, yet it was refined into pure longevity substance in an instant, feeding back into his entire body.
The newborn baby had actually started cultivating!
A single inhalation and exhalation was a minor realm.
In the blink of an eye, he broke through the Five Extremes Realm, ascended a major realm, and reached the Dao Embryo Realm!
The Dao embryo was the foundation for cultivators to channel qi into their bodies, which ordinarily required nourishment from heavenly materials and earthly treasures to lay a solid foundation.
Even prodigies with defied-heaven constitutions would take several years.
Yet this child reached it just by breathing?
Moreover, his realm was as steady as if he were born with it, completely unlike those flashy trinkets piled up using external forces and heavenly materials.
This... A Great Emperor elder's pupils constricted, his voice trembling slightly. Great Dao Manifestation, spiritual energy surges naturally, Innate Immortal Bone, and the longevity power in his bloodline... Could this be—
The Longevity Immortal Body! Qin Clan Ancestor—Qin Taiyi slowly manifested and spoke, his aged voice carrying a trace of unperceivable excitement.
Welcome, Old Ancestor!
Although everyone knew the old ancestor was watching, they had not expected him to manifest.
The Longevity Immortal Body is already defiance of heaven itself. Although it requires time to accumulate, what our Qin Clan lacks least is time.
Not to mention he also possesses complete immortal bones. The old ancestor looked at this child with increasing satisfaction, reaching out to take him. Come, let me take a closer look.
The Longevity Immortal Body, as the name implied, was a constitution that carried longevity with it and was bound to become an immortal.
The drawback was that the speed of cultivation was extremely slow!
However, the advantage was that his lifespan was infinite, his realm would slowly increase as time passed, and there were no bottlenecks whatsoever.
As long as time was sufficient, and as long as he did not die, he would definitely become an immortal!
What was an immortal?
Above the Quasi-Emperor was the Great Emperor, above the Great Emperor was the Heavenly Emperor, and only above the Heavenly Emperor was an immortal!
That was a boundary no one had ever touched, where everything was unknown and conjecture.
Yet one point could be affirmed—
It was absolutely powerful, far surpassing the Heavenly Emperor!
For an ordinary lineage, the Longevity Immortal Body instead became a burden—growing up with such a constitution took at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
By the time he rose to prominence, the lineage would likely have already perished.
However, the Qin Clan did not have this worry.
The Qin Clan had existed since antiquity, enduring for far more than a million years, let alone a mere tens of thousands.
"This child is the greatest gift to our Qin Clan!" Old Ancestor hoisted the infant high, his gaze never leaving that tender face as he asked without turning his head:
"His name?"
Qin Fuhai stepped forward and respectfully replied, "His father discussed it with me before he passed away. Let's call him--Qin Wangchuan."
"Good! Qin Wangchuan, the youngest ninth son of the direct lineage, shall be the supreme prodigy of our Qin Clan in this era!"
At the same time, countless ancient existences snapped awake from their slumbers, staring in shock toward the direction of the Qin Clan.
"A longevity body!"
"The Qin Clan has actually produced a longevity immortal body in this era!"
"If this child grows up, our Qin Clan will produce a supreme immortal emperor!"
Meanwhile, Qin Wangchuan, being held in arms, was staring wide-eyed at the few old men around him, feeling that everything was simply too abrupt.
That's right, he was a transmigrator.
He had also been a young master in his previous life, wanting to experience something thrilling, only to get thrilled to death.
After his consciousness awakened, he only remembered that he had dazedly seemed to stay in a dark place for a long time, having just opened his eyes a moment ago, yet he had not missed a single word of what was said around him.
"In other words, I've transmigrated to a fantasy world, and not only is my physique superb, but I'm also a top-tier second generation immortal?" Qin Wangchuan thought, blinking his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed across the depths of his eyes--
Since the heavens had given him such a flawless beginning, how could this soul that was naturally hungry for thrills be content with mediocrity?
Right then, he established a lofty and grand goal in his heart:
Travel Through Heavens and Myriad Realms!
"But before that..." Qin Wangchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, his expression turning peculiar.
"Little System, if my eyes and ears aren't malfunctioning... then the one who's crazy must be you, right?"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening the Humble Origins Counterattack System. This system will assist the host, who is from the humblest origins and the least favored, to reshape a glorious life and embark on a counterattack path.] [System loading... 0.002%]
Looking at these characters, who wouldn't be confused?
Humble origins?
Upon entering the hall, immortal aura surrounded it, and the silhouettes around made space tremble merely by breathing. Does your idea of humble origins look like this?
Anyway, either he or the system had to be crazy.
