The Youngest
"A Buddhist?" Xu Qing guessed.
"Pretty much, but there are slight differences," Thor nodded.
Xu Qing nodded. "Understood."
"Second brother, I called you here today because I have something important to tell you," Hong said without any unnecessary words, directly telling him Luo Feng's purpose.
After hearing this, Thor looked astonished. "This must be what they call a stroke of luck and good fortune. Amazing."
He had to admire Luo Feng's luck. He and Hong had risen to prominence during the Great Nirvana Period, but neither of them had such good fortune. It just goes to show that many things are predetermined.
"Then would you be willing to join our Yunmo Star Lineage?" Luo Feng asked with a smile.
Thor smiled and nodded. "Of course! Why wouldn't I want such a great benefit? Besides, even my Elder Brother has joined, how can I not join? I have to join."
In fact, he and Hong were like brothers.
"Alright, since you are all willing to join the Yunmo Star Lineage, there are some things I need to explain to you in advance," Luo Feng said seriously.
The main purpose is to prevent them from passing on the legacy of Black Ink Star to others without authorization; this is an ironclad rule even in the universe.
"No problem, we understand that," Hong and Thor said without hesitation.
Later, Luo Feng passed on the Warrior legacy of Black Ink Star to the two of them.
"This is truly worthy of being the legacy of an unparalleled expert; it's astonishing," Hong and Thor Supreme Treasure, as if they had found a treasure.
"With this inheritance, I feel I'll be able to break through again soon," Thor exclaimed with delight. He was currently at the eighth level of the Planetary Level, and the next breakthrough would Planetary Level Nine.
Once you reach the Planetary Level Nine, you're only one step away from the Star Level.
"I'm pretty much the same," Hong said. A precious legacy can save them from taking many detours.
"Of course, when Xu Qing received the inheritance, he had a sudden enlightenment for ten days and ten nights, and directly broke through to the next level, and even his domain was upgraded," Babata said matter-of-factly.
"Domain?" Hong and Thor looked at Xu Qing with surprise. "You've comprehended the domain?"
"Yeah, it's not that difficult," Xu Qing said casually.
Hong and Thor's lips twitched. Was the domain really that simple?
Leaving aside Hong, even Thor only recently grasped his own Lightning Domain, which took a lot of effort.
"Hehe, don't compare yourself to Xu Qing, that freak. His domain is already at a very high level, and he has even comprehended the Origin Law," Babata chuckled.
"The Origin Law!" Hong and Thor were shocked; the Warrior inheritance they had obtained contained a corresponding description.
Generally speaking, once one's domain reaches around the seventh level, it's about time to begin comprehending the Origin Law.
So, Xu Qing's domain has already reached the seventh level?!
"Babata, please call me Lord Sea King," Xu Qing corrected it, saying that calling it a pervert every day was too offensive.
"No way, I'll call you a pervert, because you are a big pervert to begin with," Babata said with a sly grin.
Xu Qing glared at him, "Come out here, and see if I don't hit you?"
"Little brat, you couldn't beat me even if you had ten thousand years," Babata said smugly. She didn't have a physical body now; she only existed in the virtual network.
Xu Qing thought about it and realized it was true. "You wait, I'm going to find an intelligent life form and have it beat you up every day."
"You wish! Intelligent life isn't that easy to find. Even Immortal Level beings might not exist," Babata scoffed.
"Anyway, I'll definitely have one. Just you wait," Xu Qing said, refusing to believe he wouldn't be able to find one.
Babata shivered inexplicably. This guy seemed serious. "Luo Feng, this guy wants to beat me up, are you going to do anything about it?"
"Xiao Qing, why are you arguing with Babata?" Luo Feng advised.
"It's her fault for calling me a pervert," Xu Qing said, pursing her lips.
Luo Feng looked at Babata, "Don't call Xiao Qing a pervert anymore. Just know it, don't say it out loud."
"Haha, okay," Babata laughed.
"Hey, brother-in-law, which side are you from?" Now it was Xu Qing's turn to be annoyed.
"I'm not on either side, I'm very objective," Luo Feng said with a smile.
Xu Qing rolled her eyes. "You're my brother-in-law, being too objective is not objective."
Seeing the interaction between the three, Hong and Thor exchanged a smile, realizing they were all quite interesting people.
"From now on, we will be the four strongest people on Earth. My relationship with Thor goes without saying. How about we all call each other brothers from now on?" Hong looked at Luo Feng and Xu Qing.
Now, he is definitely not suitable to continue being Luo Feng and Xu Qing's superior.
"Elder Brother's suggestion is good. The four of us now belong to the same sect and are the four strongest people on Earth, so naturally we should unite," Thor nodded in agreement.
Moreover, he and Hong had been waiting for people like Luo Feng and Xu Qing to appear; Earth needed more strong individuals.
"Xiao Qing, what do you think?" Luo Feng asked Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's eyes darted around, and he nodded with a smile, "Okay, no problem. Let's rank them by level. I'm Star Level, so I'm the biggest, the boss, the Elder Brother. Do you have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, all three were stunned. Could it really be done like this?
"Ahem, Xiao Qing, stop fooling around. This isn't appropriate. We should rank them by age," Luo Feng coughed lightly, directly rejecting the idea.
Just kidding, if it were based on rank, he'd have to call Xu Qing"Elder Brother," what kind of nonsense is this?
"That's right, we're all on the same side, so let's skip the formalities and go by age," Hong and Thor chimed in.
They couldn't bring themselves to call Xu Qing"Elder Brother," since Luo Feng and Xu Qing were even younger than their grandsons.
Seeing the three of them jointly object, Xu Qing knew he couldn't gain this advantage, so he said, "Fine."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, my Elder Brother and I will remain the same, Luo Feng will be the third, Xu Qing will be the Fourth Brother and youngest," Thor laughed.
"Please call me Gray Mountain Youngest," Xu Qing said, adjusting his tone and putting on an act.
This made everyone present laugh; you're such a character.
After a pause, Xu Qing continued, "Should we imitate the Oath of the Peach Garden, swearing a blood oath? Like this, we'll take a knife and swipe... drip the blood into a bowl, and then each of us will take a sip."
As he spoke, Xu Qing also demonstrated.
The three of them looked constipated. Why imitate the ancients? Drinking blood? That's so unhygienic! Don't they find it disgusting?
They found it disgusting; all that blood oath was utterly useless.
"If you don't speak, that means you agree. I'll go get the knife and bowl." Xu Qing saw that they were all silent and assumed that they had agreed, so he went to get the tools with great interest.
"Hey, no, no, no, we're modern people, we don't follow these old-fashioned ways," the others quickly pulled him back.
"Alright then," Xu Qing could tell they seemed rather disapproving. "Well, we still have to say what needs to be said, like, 'We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we do ask to be born on the same day, month, and year...'"
The three of them were speechless. "How come we never noticed you were so superstitious before? And you insist on doing it on the same day? Is that it?"
"We don't do these empty things, they're all superstition. In short, we're there for each other through thick and thin," Hong said.
"Yes, Elder Brother is right," Thor agreed. He had also realized that if Xu Qing continued down this path, nothing good would come of it.
Xu Qing nodded, "Alright, then I'll listen to the eldest. It just feels like it's lacking in ceremony. What do you think, third brother?"
"You can still call me brother-in-law," Luo Feng said, his lips twitching.
"Oh, okay, I actually think calling him 'Third Brother' is more affectionate," Xu Qing thought for a moment.
"Just call me brother-in-law," Luo Feng emphasized again. This way of calling him "third brother" wasn't exactly affectionate, but he certainly got the better deal.
And so, Xu Qing and the other three strongest individuals on Earth reached a consensus.
"Big brother, second brother, we're leaving. Remember to cultivate diligently!" Xu Qing waved goodbye as they left.
After Xu Qing and Luo Feng left, Hong and Thor seemed to have thought of something. "Wait a minute, why do they have to call them 'eldest brother' and 'second brother'? Why can't they just call them 'Elder Brother' and 'second brother'? Wouldn't that sound better?"
The two looked at each other, realizing the problem.
"Alright, given Fourth Brother's personality, forget about it. Luo Feng is a different story," Thor shrugged. This was the first time he hadn't let Xu Qing correct his form of address; he wouldn't do it again.
Hong shook his head helplessly, having been led around by Xu Qing the entire time.
"Now that we have obtained the complete Warrior inheritance and enough Wood Bud Crystal, let's seize the time to cultivate and strive to break through to the Star Level as soon as possible," Hong said in a deep voice, his eyes sharp.
Thor nodded. "Yeah, that Fourth Brother kid has already broken through to the Star Level at such a young age. We can't fall too far behind."
"Moreover, his domain is already at such a high level, and he has even comprehended the Universe Origin Law. He's simply freakish."
"I haven't felt this much pressure in a long time, it's really exhilarating!" Hong's fighting spirit had been ignited.
Thor, needless to say, was equally determined.
Jiangnan Base City.
"Brother-in-law, I'm leaving. Focus on your cultivation; it's too lonely being a master," Xu Qing waved his hand, putting on as much airs as he wanted.
"Tsk tsk, this guy's really putting on an act, but he's not wrong," Babata scoffed. "This freak's level is really high; he's already at the forefront of the younger generation in the universe."
At first, Babata never expected Xu Qing to be so outstanding.
"Yes, so the three of us have to do our best to catch up," Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
His current Earthling Clone has undergone intensive training and has reached the fifth level of the Planetary Level in just over half a year, still some distance from the Star Level.
But this is the level of Warrior; his Spiritual Force level has already reached the eighth rank of the Planetary Level, which is very close to the Star Level.
Comparatively speaking, his Mo Yun Vine is even faster, already at the Planetary Level Nine.
As for the Golden Horned Behemoth, it still needs to devour a large amount of metal to quickly level up.
"Babata, let's prepare to go to other planets in the Milky Way to mine metals. Hopefully, those planets will have the metals I need," Luo Feng said.
"No problem, I've already prepared that Spaceship, it's ready to use anytime. There are many planets in the Milky Way besides Earth, we're sure to find metal, maybe even a lot of the metal that the Golden Horned Behemoth needs," Babata laughed.
Before reaching the World Lord level, the Golden Horned Behemoth had no bottlenecks. It could grow rapidly by devouring metal, but it consumed a lot of different types and quantities of metal.
However, the current task is simply to achieve the leap from Star Level to Universe Level, which is already the least difficult part.
In a starry sky far away from the Milky Way, space distorted, and a saucer-shaped Spaceship appeared—creatures from outer space had arrived!
"What? Sister Xin, you're pregnant? How many?" Xu Qing was very surprised to hear that Xu Xin was pregnant.
"How many do you think there are?" Xu Xin.
Xu Qing thought for a moment, "Twins or triplets are fine. If we're going to have children, we should have several at once to avoid having to do it in several batches, which is too difficult."
"Pfft... you mean... okay, that makes some sense," Xu Xin chuckled.
However, Xu Qing was right; she was pregnant with twins this time.
"Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy, Sister Xin," Xu Qing instructed.
"I know, don't worry," Xu Xin nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing thought for a moment, then said, "Hehe, does that mean I'm going to be an uncle?"
"There's nothing I can do. Linlin and Ruoruo haven't thought about it yet, so I guess I'll just have to play with my little nephew," Xu Qing thought to himself.
In terms of timing, Xu Xin birth, which means it will be next year.
"That will take quite a while. My nephew will have to be at least three years old before he can play with it. We'll have to wait patiently," Xu Qing muttered.
That evening, Xu Qing told Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo about Xu Xin's pregnancy.
"So fast, it hasn't even been half a year yet," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo exclaimed in surprise.
"It's been three months already," Xu Qing said.
"Her company is just starting out, will it be affected?" Zhao Ruo asked.
Xu Xin is now the chairman of the company, and many things are managed by her, but she is pregnant and needs to take care of her pregnancy.
"It should be fine. Don't forget about the Xu Family," Qin Lin said with a smile.
"That's true, it would be helpful for the Xu Family to lend a hand in a time like this," Zhao Ruo nodded.
Suddenly, Xu Qing rolled onto them like a little fox, "How about we have a baby too? We can have one with Sister Xin, just one for each of us, okay?"
Seeing Xu Qing act coquettishly, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo laughed. He really did look a bit like a male Daji (a legendary femme fatale).
"I told you it's not the right time yet, Xiao Qing, you really won't give up," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo already had their own plans, so they definitely wouldn't listen to him.
"If it's not going to work, it's not going to work," Xu Qing immediately stopped acting, jumped down with little interest, and went back to her room.
Seeing Xu Qing's rapid change of expression, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo were both amused and exasperated. Did he really like children that much? Perhaps he just wanted to join in the fun.
"Should we tell him our plans first?" Zhao Ruo asked.
Qin Lin thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Let's not talk about it for now. If we do, Xiao Qing might make a scene."
"Okay," Zhao Ruo nodded.
Their temporary plan is to wait until they have exhausted their own potential and can no longer make any progress in their cultivation before considering having children.
They were well aware of Xu Qing's talent for cultivation, but no one knew where his limits lay, or even if there were any limits at all.
But they are different. Compared to Xu Qing, their cultivation talent is quite poor, and the gap between them and Xu Qing will only widen in the future.
Therefore, they still want to focus on cultivation while their potential is still untapped, so that they can let go once their potential is exhausted.
When that time comes, they can stay home and take care of their children with peace of mind.
Not too many, just like Xu Qing said, one for each person is enough.
