Background
The Qin Clan is an ancient Imperial Clan seated in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, the supreme realm above the Upper Thousand Provinces. Its heritage is said to have endured for millions of years; it possesses nearly one hundred Great Emperors and is protected by Qin Taiyi, a Heavenly Emperor. Qin Taiyi is one of only three Heavenly Emperors among the Ten Great Imperial Clans, alongside the Ji and Li Heavenly Emperors. 1 4
Before Qin Wangchuan's birth, the clan carried out the Heaven-Robbing Plan. It gathered 108 Immortal Bones and 1,080 Supreme Bones to nurture a fetus for a century, seeking to produce a Qilin Child with an Immortal Body. The process instead gave birth to Qin Wangchuan's Longevity Immortal Body, a physique with immense lifespan and longevity power but normally slow cultivation. 1
Qin Taiyi declared Wangchuan the generation's Supreme Prodigy at birth. After Wangchuan exposed traitors through his foresight, the ancestor elevated him above every ordinary resource rank, effectively staking the clan's future on him. 1 6
