There are many Great Emperors in this world, but even if the Ten Great Imperial Clans were to combine their strength, they could only muster three Heavenly Emperors.

They are the Qin Clan's Qin Heavenly Emperor, the Ji Clan's Ji Heavenly Emperor, and the Li Clan's Li Heavenly Emperor.

The three of them divide the world among themselves, which is why they are also known as the Ten Heads, Three Heavens.

Ten clans, three Heavenly Emperors.

Under such circumstances, if a family were to gain another Heavenly Emperor, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of the balance being broken.

It would mean the entire Cultivation World would have to change its surname to Qin!

"One can never have too much combat power."

"To become a Heavenly Emperor in a mere fifty thousand years without the support of a clan—if she were given sufficient resources, it is terrifying to even imagine how heaven-defying she could become."

Qin Wangchuan narrowed his eyes, a strange illusion arising that she was the true protagonist.

[Please select from the following inheritance rewards:] 1: 1,000 years of lifespan. 2: Emperor-Grade Cultivation Technique Nine Heavens Zither Emperor Sutra, along with its insights. 3: Origin +810. (Rewards are linked to performance during the simulation.)

Lifespan is the most useless, so that is ruled out first.

Although an Emperor-Grade Cultivation Technique is tempting, to be honest, the Qin Clan is not lacking in such things.

Moreover, as long as he finds Ye Jianwei, the Nine Heavens Zither Emperor Sutra will eventually be his anyway.

Though it would only be a remnant scroll.

"I choose 3." Qin Wangchuan did not hesitate in the slightest.

That familiar sensation washed over him once again, and it was far more than just a simple feeling of being filled with power.

Qin Wangchuan felt his Immortal Bones trembling in unison, every inch of his flesh and blood cheering and leaping with joy.

Chaos Immortal Light erupted from the depths of his bone marrow, surging through his meridians like a celestial river flowing backward—this was far beyond the subtle improvements brought by the previous 5 points of Origin; this was a leap in life essence triggered by a qualitative change in his Origin!

"Crack!"

A mere wisp of the leaking Longevity Origin caused the Immortal Peach on the table to suddenly split open, the pit breaking through the flesh to sprout.

The spiritual energy throughout the entire Wangchuan Pavilion spontaneously formed a vortex, rushing madly into his young body.

[Current Origin: 10.65x]

"10.6x means that both my cultivation speed and my speed of enlightenment are ten times that of others! It perfectly compensates for the Longevity Immortal Body's drawback of slow cultivation." Qin Wangchuan clenched his fists, and suddenly, a faint cracking sound echoed from within his body.

He had broken through!

The Fourth Realm, the Spirit Path Realm.

This was a realm that Ye Jianwei only reached at eighteen in the simulation, yet Qin Wangchuan had reached it at five!

This was enough to show just how heaven-defying the Origin was.

At this moment.

Footsteps approached from outside the hall; it was Qin Wenhe returning.

The surge in aura brought about by the breakthrough had naturally caught the attention of this powerhouse.

Qin Wangchuan suddenly raised his head. Before Qin Wenhe could speak, he took the initiative to step forward and said:

"Teacher, I need to find a town, meet a person, and kill two old dogs!"

Being named Qin Xuan meant he was a member of the Qin Clan's main branch or a collateral branch. Calling such a traitor an "old dog" was already giving him too much credit.

Of course, such matters were not the priority; leaving them to Qin Wenhe would suffice.

He was a teacher, and also half a guardian.

The focus was still on Ye Jianwei.

Qin Wenhe paused in his tracks upon hearing this. He looked seriously at the young boy who was barely taller than his knees, a trace of astonishment flashing between his brows.

He had broken through after just a short while of not seeing him???

At the same time, he knew well that although this Young Master was only five years old, his intellect far exceeded his peers due to the Longevity Immortal Body.

For him to suddenly make such a request now, there must be a profound reason.

"Which town does the Young Master wish to find? Who is the person to meet? And which two... old dogs are to be killed?" Qin Wenhe weighed his words, clearly not wanting to be a bad influence on the Young Master.

Qin Wangchuan replied, "A small town called Qixia Town. There is a blind girl there named Ye Jianwei; she will be the future Heavenly Emperor."

"As for those two old dogs—"

A look of defiance, ill-fitting for his age, surfaced on the child's tender face. "Qin Xuan and Cao Xiangwen, who will collude with other clans and betray the Qin Clan five years from now."

"Although that is a matter for five years later, I suspect they are already in league. Using Soul Search should reveal some clues."

The person before him was a core member of the Qin Clan; there was no need to hide anything.

Just tell him everything.

"Defection?!" Qin Wenhe's pupils constricted.

The Qin Clan had existed since the beginning of the primordial era, and for various reasons, there had been no shortage of defectors.

But what surprised him was not that, but rather that the Young Master could actually foresee the future.

And he had even found a Heavenly Emperor?

Never mind a Heavenly Emperor; even beings like Great Emperors were accompanied by immense karma at birth. Not even the Heavenly Secret Pavilion could fully predict their movements.

"How did the Young Master come to know all of this?" Qin Wenhe crouched down, stroked his beard, and asked.

As for an excuse, he had already thought of one.

"I dreamt it."

"A dream?"

"Mm!" Qin Wangchuan blinked his eyes, looking completely innocent. "I saw it all in a dream. That's all I saw."

He was acting simple-minded again.

Qin Wenhe took all of this in. Although he had his doubts, he was more inclined to believe him.

That's right, he believed him.

Since Qin Wangchuan was born, he had spent three-quarters of his time sleeping, and every time he woke up, he had made a breakthrough.

Most importantly, he was the first person in history to possess both an Immortal Body and a full set of Immortal Bones.

While seeing the future in a dream was absurd, it seemed reasonable when applied to him.

"Hmm..." Qin Wenhe leaned forward slightly, gazing at the young master before him with a gentle expression, his tone measured. "Then what would you like me to do, Young Master?"

"Order someone to find Qixia Town. Once it's found, I will go there myself. Leave those two old dogs to you." After saying this, Qin Wangchuan gave a thumbs up, looking as if he had great faith in him—it was extremely playful.

At times as simple as a child, at others as complex as a monster.

"That is not difficult, but there is one thing I wish to ask you, Young Master."

"Hm?"

He stroked his beard lightly and lowered his voice. "Under what authority should I go after those... two old dogs?"

Seeing Qin Wangchuan tilt his head in confusion, Qin Wenhe met his gaze and patiently explained:

"If this is just the ramblings of a five-year-old child, I must discuss it with your grandfather before I can make a decision."

"But if it is the Young Master's order, I can execute first and report later. It is just that, in the event that the wrong person is killed..."

Qin Wangchuan was a smart man; the point was clear enough by now.

The nine Young Masters of the Qin Clan were the top priority. As for the rest, to put it bluntly, if they were killed, they were killed.

One or two lives were nothing; there might be some negative repercussions, but not many.

The problem lay in what name to use for the killing.

If it were done in the name of his grandfather, Qin Fuhai, then no matter who was killed, whether it was right or wrong, he would shoulder the consequences alone.

But if it were done in the name of Qin Wangchuan, killing the right person would certainly be a boon.

However, if he killed the wrong person, it would undoubtedly deal a blow to his reputation within the clan.

Qin Wenhe stared intently at Qin Wangchuan's young, delicate face, his gaze filled with both scrutiny and expectation.

This was a test.

The Qin Clan had expended countless heavenly treasures, even utilizing 1,080 Supreme Bones and 108 Immortal Bones, just to forge this Qilin Child with the Longevity Immortal Body.

The rarity of the Supreme Bones and Immortal Bones meant that a second person could never be replicated.

He was not only the future of the Qin Clan but the hope of the entire Imperial Clan.

And now, at only five years old, what would Qin Wangchuan do when faced with doubt after clarifying his goal?

Would he shrink back and let his grandfather take action?

Or would he display the mettle of a Young Master and shoulder the burden himself, regardless of the outcome?

The hall was silent, save for the rustling sound of the wind brushing against the tender buds of the Immortal Peach trees outside the window.

Qin Wangchuan blinked, then suddenly smiled.

However, the smile did not reach his eyes before it abruptly froze—those eyes, which should have been clear, were instantly covered in frost, and the relaxed aura around him vanished in an instant.

"Teacher."

As the word fell, the sandalwood scent in the hall suddenly dissipated.

Qin Wenhe's breath hitched; it felt as if the person before him was no longer a child.

But an arrogant, peerless genius.

"In the name of the Young Master—"

"Kill."

As the word fell, a sudden wind whipped through the hall, and the Cloud Sea surged.

That was absolute confidence in himself.

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Wenhe's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly.

This was the spirit a Qilin Child of the Qin Clan should possess!

He was very satisfied.

"This old man... obeys the decree."

With the Qin Clan's resources, they quickly traced the location to Qixia Town, situated on the edge of their territory. Qin Wangchuan immediately led men to head there.

Meanwhile, Qin Wenhe ordered his men to scout the whereabouts of Qin Xuan and Cao Xiangwen.

They were a master and servant pair.

The former was a disciple of the Qin Clan's main branch, while the latter hailed from an affiliated family.

At this moment, Qin Xuan was on a floating island belonging to the Qin Clan, sparring with someone.

This place was a Martial Arts Arena specifically designated for clan disciples to spar and exchange pointers.

The circular floating island, several miles in diameter, was crafted entirely from Xuanming Black Stone. It was surrounded by seven smaller Martial Arts Platforms, connected to one another by Rainbow Bridges.

Mist swirled around the edges of the floating island, where over a hundred young Qin Clan disciples could be seen sparring and practicing their techniques on the various Martial Arts Platforms.

Qin Wenhe stepped into the Martial Arts Arena alongside a Deacon Elder, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and the next moment, his voice, imbued with thick spiritual power, shook the entire arena:

"Qin Xuan, Cao Xiangwen, where are you? Come see me at once!"
