Hidden Bloodline

Seeing that Xu Qing had manipulated them all single-handedly, Beibei said she had learned something.

"If you are the Rainbow King, then Luo Feng must be the King Daohe," Wuka and the others understood.

It's truly unexpected that Luo Feng and Xu Qing would become famous so quickly after going to the Outer-Region Battlefield, and that they would remain famous for over six thousand years.

At first, none of them dared to think it was Luo Feng and Xu Qing. It was only later, when the Rainbow King's behavior became more and more exaggerated and outrageous, that they began to associate it with Xu Qing.

"That's right, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, I am the Rainbow King," Xu Qing said, crossing his legs.

"Pervert," the group exchanged glances and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hey, hey, hey, how dare you speak like that in front of Lord Rainbow King? You want a beating, don't you?" Xu Qing warned them with his eyes.

No one was afraid of him at all. "Then why are you still staying in the Tai Chu Secret Realm if you've already broken through to the Immortal Level? Shouldn't you have moved to Chaos City? With your level, you could already be a permanent resident of Chaos City, right?"

"What do you single dogs know? I can go wherever I want," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

"This guy is so annoying," everyone was getting a little angry. So what if he's single? Single people have dignity too, you know.

Xu Qing glanced at them. "Don't tell anyone that I'm the Rainbow King. I'm still just a minor World Lord in the Tai Chu Secret Realm."

Hearing his words, everyone was speechless. Did he have no shame? A King Level Immortal insisted on crowding with a bunch of World Lord.

It's obvious that Xu Qing doesn't want to be assigned to work by the Virtual Universe Company, because after breaking through to Immortal, one is usually assigned to work under Universe Venerable.

Immortal like Xu Qing, who have reached the level of Invincible King Level Immortal, don't need to work under the Universe Venerable; they just need to follow the arrangements of the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company.

Xu Qing simply didn't want to do anything, so he dragged his feet and didn't let the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company know that he had already made a breakthrough.

After all, his cultivation time was still short, and the higher-ups wouldn't have expected him to break through so quickly.

Normally, Xu Qing should have stayed at the World Lord level for dozens or even hundreds of epochs before choosing to break through to the Immortal Level.

This is a choice that all geniuses at the World Lord level would make.

Those who, like Luo Feng and Xu Qing, break through to Immortal in less than an epoch are extremely rare.

"If you want us to shut up, it's simple: treat us to the best of everything," Wuka and his group threatened.

"Great, all you can have as much juice as you want," Xu Qing said, shaking his leg.

"Juice? That won't do. We want good wine, nothing less than one Hunyuan Unit," Wuka and the others knew they couldn't be too harsh, or it would backfire.

If Xu Qing really puts his mind to it, even all of them combined couldn't outmaneuver him.

"Tch, who do you think you are? Watch me," Xu Qing said with an air of nouveau riche, directly ordering thirty bottles of fine wine, each priced at twenty Hunyuan Unit.

"Yes, that's right, send it to Xu Qing's manor in the Tai Chu Secret Realm," Xu Qing communicated with the staff in the Virtual Universe.

After all that, Wuka and his team were dumbfounded. "The sun has risen in the west!"

Xu Qing actually ordered such expensive wine, and thirty bottles at that, even though he doesn't drink.

"Who told Uncle Little Azure Dragon to be so rich now? I'll treat you to some good drinks and let you know how much money Uncle Little Azure Dragon has. Even a little bit out of my pocket can fill you up," Xu Qing chuckled.

"Get lost, are you showing off? We won't leave you a single drop later," Rong Jun and the others were practically green with envy.

Before long, the thirty bottles of fine wine were delivered.

"Wow, this is Golden Moon. When poured into a cup, it looks like a golden full moon, hence the name Golden Moon," Wuka, a connoisseur, recognized it immediately.

Although it wasn't as famous as the Thunder Rain he had drunk, it was still a very good wine. King Level Immortal wouldn't dare to drink it casually, as it was too expensive.

"What's all this talk about 'Golden Moon ' and 'silver moon'? It's just wine." Xu Qing didn't even bother to look at it. He didn't drink anyway, so he had no interest in it. He just picked it randomly when he bought it.

"The boss is generous, brothers, drink up! There are thirty bottles here!" Wuka and Rong Jun couldn't wait to open the bottles.

Soon, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, refreshing and delightful.

"Beibei, if you want to try it, go ahead. Dad doesn't like drinking," Xu Qing said, then took out a bottle of juice and poured himself a glass.

"I'll give it a try," Beibei said, picking up a bottle of wine and beckoning to Ace and Aven. The three little ones then took a sip.

Ai Chen also chose not to drink alcohol, but instead drank juice like Xu Qing.

"Tsk tsk, so this is what it means to be a harmonious couple, right? Ai Chen, you weren't like this before," Qianshui teased as she drank.

"I'm a mother now, I can't be drunk in front of my children," Ai Chen smiled.

Qianshui didn't say anything, but simply gave her a thumbs up.

After a drinking session, Wuka and his group were all quite drunk.

"A bunch of drunkards. Other people can drink a lot without getting drunk, but these guys are as drunk as greenhorns," Xu Qing said speechlessly.

"They just like the feeling of being drunk. Look, even Bolan is like that," Ai Chen pointed.

Xu Qing glanced at Bolan, "Little Bolan is just a proud and aloof person, and a bit socially awkward too."

"Social anxiety? What is social anxiety?" Qianshui asked. She hadn't drunk too much, so she wasn't drunk.

"He just can't say a word all day long. When others talk to him, he just echoes them. If you ask him to initiate a conversation, he can stand there staring at you until dawn," Xu Qing explained.

Qianshui thought it made perfect sense; the explanation was simply perfect. Bolan was just a bit like that, wasn't he?

"Dad, Ace and Aven are drunk," Beibei said.

Xu Qing and Ai Chen looked over and, sure enough, saw that Ace and Aven were drunk, their faces flushed, and they were slumped over the table.

On the contrary, although Beibei's face was a little red, she was not drunk, which means that Beibei's alcohol tolerance is much better than Ace's and Aven's.

"Haha, two older brothers, and their alcohol tolerance is so low," Xu Qing laughed.

With that, he stood up and led his two sons into their room.

"Ai Chen, you've raised these three children very well. Your two sons look like you, and your daughter looks like Xu Qing," Qianshui praised.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Ai Chen said, both amused and exasperated.

Then, Qianshui whispered in her ear, "I think Beibei not only looks like Xu Qing, but I also feel that she might become the second Xu Qing."

"This..." Ai Chen didn't know how to answer, because Qianshui was right, Beibei was indeed very much like Xu Qing in many ways.

Furthermore, Beibei inherited Xu Qing's unique talent: Mind's Eye.

Ai Chen was shocked for a long time when he learned that Xu Qing had this ability.

Even Ai Chen himself felt that Beibei had a high chance of becoming the second Xu Qing; even if she couldn't be completely like him, being half of him would be no problem.

"Also, Wuka and the others didn't notice, but I did. Beibei and the other two are all at the World Lord level. Ai Chen, I know you're from the Mengluo Wing Race, but even the Mengluo Wing Race's bloodline isn't this strong."

"Although Xu Qing comes from that special Earth, as far as I know, the bloodline of Earthling is very low. They are outstanding only in terms of their soul and state of mind."

"So, the key is still Xu Qing, right? Does he have some hidden powerful bloodline? Otherwise, how could your child be World Lord level at such a young age, almost on par with Starry Sky Behemoth?" Qianshui asked curiously.

Ai Chen shrugged. "I don't know either, but the reason should definitely be with him. I haven't asked him."

"You're so carefree, you didn't even ask," Qianshui rolled her eyes at her, her curiosity was too weak.

"What's wrong with me? What are you talking about?" Xu Qing came out and plopped down.

Qianshui said directly, "I suspect you might have some hidden, powerful bloodline. Otherwise, how could Beibei and the others reach the World Lord level as soon as they came of age? No Human Race has ever achieved that before."

If this gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation among Human Race.

This is because it signifies the birth of a powerful race with bloodlines comparable to the Starry Sky Behemoth, and it belongs to the Human Race, which is of great significance.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious," Xu Qing said casually.

"Do you even understand what this means?" Qianshui glared at him.

Ai Chen also comes from a powerful clan and can understand Qianshui's thoughts.

"What significance could it possibly have? It's just a special case, nothing to do with the general situation," Xu Qing said casually.

Qianshui looked at Ai Chen helplessly, "You didn't even tell me how important this matter is."

Ai Chen coughed lightly, "Um, Xiao Qing, do Earthling have some hidden bloodline that will awaken later?"

"Hahaha... Chenchen, you're overthinking it. Earthling don't have any bloodlines. As for me, it's just because I've evolved more thoroughly and have a higher Life Gene Level," Xu Qing laughed.

"A relatively high Life Gene Level?" Ai Chen and Qianshui exchanged a glance. "But Xiao Qing, aren't you still at the Immortal Level? You haven't reached the stage of breaking through to the Life Gene Level yet."

Generally speaking, ordinary life forms in the universe only achieve a tenfold increase in their life genes when they break through from the Immortal realm to the Universe Venerable.

Then, when one breaks through from Universe Venerable to Universe Master, their life genes will increase a hundredfold.

Before becoming Universe Venerable, it is difficult to make any significant breakthroughs in the evolution of life's genes.

"No, no, no, I'm naturally inclined to study the essence of things, so I let my life genes evolve wildly," Xu Qing said, shaking his finger.

"This... the evolution of life's genes is a universal law. How can you defy the universal law? That's impossible," Qianshui, disbelieving.

Ai Chen was also a little skeptical, but Xu Qing had always been someone who didn't play by the rules, so maybe he really did it.

"See? You don't believe me, so what can I do? The reason why Beibei and the others were able to reach the World Lord level as adults is because my genes are too good. And why are my genes so good? It must be because I evolved well," Xu Qing shrugged.

Qianshui flowed, speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the reason why the Starry Sky Behemoth Starry Sky Behemoth at the World Lord level upon reaching adulthood is because its life genes are naturally ten times stronger.

The advantages of life genes are there, so the Starry Sky Behemoth are born at the Planetary Level and can reach the World Lord level when they grow up. This is a natural process.

"Of course, Chenchen's genes are also very good, which is also very important," Xu Qing added.

Upon hearing this, Ai Chen immediately smiled.

Qianshui was caught off guard and was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, which felt a bit dry.

"But before the Universe Venerable, no one could actively induce their own genetic evolution," Qianshui still didn't quite believe it.

"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. The essence of the cultivation path is the path of genetic evolution. Although it is limited by the laws of the universe, it doesn't mean there are no ways. With more study, there will always be a way."

"I Uncle Little Azure Dragon, am the best example. Through a series of genetic studies, I successfully promoted the evolution of my own genes," Xu Qing said with an air of arrogance, his face radiating pride.

"So how did you conduct your research?" Qianshui couldn't help but ask.

"It's not anything particularly secretive. As for me, it's about studying the Clone of Special Lifeform, comparing my own genes with those of the Clone Special Lifeform, and then finding the hidden, feasible evolutionary paths. That's how I completed it."

"However, the process is quite difficult, requiring constant observation and calculation, as well as trial and error and selection. Furthermore, everyone's genes are unique, and their evolutionary paths are different, requiring separate calculations."

"In other words, this method is not universally applicable; it depends on the individual," Xu Qing said while sipping his juice.

Qianshui was dumbfounded. Don't be fooled by how easily Xu Qing spoke; a little thought reveals just how difficult it must have been.

"How long did it take you?" Qianshui swallowed hard.

"It would only take a few hundred years, oh right, I forgot to mention one crucial condition. Without that condition, even I couldn't do it, unless the Supreme Universe Being specializes in studying genetic evolution helped me," Xu Qing added.

As for that hard requirement, it is of course the ten Origin Law.

Qianshui felt his head was buzzing. How did he get involved with the Supreme Universe Being?

"Xiao Qing, do you also have the Supreme Universe Being helping you?" Ai Chen asked curiously.

"Chenchen, you underestimate your husband too much. I don't need the Supreme Universe Being to help me. Of course, I'll rely on myself," Xu Qing said confidently.

"Yes, yes, you're the best," Ai Chen laughed.

"Dad, can I do it too?" Beibei asked excitedly.

Xu Qing looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be fine. After all, you inherited your father's talent. If you're interested, your father can provide some gene samples for you to study."

"You're Dad's daughter, so you must have some genetic similarities with him. That should make the research a little easier."

"Thank you, Dad," Beibei said with a smile.

"However, researching gene evolution is not your current task. Your current task is to comprehend the Origin Law. Gene evolution is something for later. You have plenty of time, so take your time," Xu Qing reminded him.

Beibei nodded; she knew this was a hint her father had given her.

Ai Chen seemed to have picked up on something as well. Xu Qing emphasized that Beibei inherited his talent, which meant it was related to talent.

Beside them, Qianshui looked at Xu Qing and Beibei, father and daughter, as if they were monsters.

She didn't want to continue the conversation; she couldn't keep up at all.
