Qian Gu Dongfeng: I Discovered a Huge Secret

Seeing Zang Xin being so protective of his child...

At that moment, he was secretly glad that he had not held anything back and had laid out the truth in full.

Otherwise, if anything happened to the boy...

Wouldn't the Spirit Pagoda be torn apart by those two?

The image of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin arriving together suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Just thinking about that scene made his scalp tingle.

At that moment, inside the Ascension Platform.

The wristband on Cao Xin's wrist suddenly lit up with blue light, followed by Zang Xin's voice.

"Little Xin, this Evil Eye Tyrant is a direct descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, the Ferocious Beast that once ranked second on the continent."

"Therefore, its Soul Bone contains a trace of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's spiritual power."

"It cannot be fused without spiritual power at the Spirit Domain Realm."

"Let's give up."

Cao Xin's steps paused slightly.

A direct descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, with a trace of a seven-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast's spiritual power contained in its Soul Bone...

The information left him stunned for a moment.

But soon, delight appeared in his eyes.

A direct descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord?

Didn't that mean...

This External Soul Bone had tremendous potential?

If he could absorb it, what he would gain would not merely be a three-thousand-year External Soul Bone.

It would be a growing supreme treasure carrying a trace of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's bloodline foundation.

As for the requirement that one had to be at the Spirit Domain Realm to fuse with it.

Heh, minor problem.

He possessed three conceptual abilities.

He only needed to use [Set Facts Aside] once.

Set aside the objective fact that "it cannot be fused without the Spirit Domain Realm." Then he could absorb it with spiritual power at the Spirit Connection Realm.

Thus, he spoke in a relaxed yet resolute tone.

"Second Dad, don't worry."

"I can do it."

At that moment, outside.

Zang Xin fell silent for a moment upon hearing Cao Xin say, "I can do it."

"Alright. Be careful."

In the end, he chose to believe him.

Ever since his awakening, Little Xin had displayed many abilities that defied common sense.

Since he dared say he could do it...

Then he must have had his reasons.

Zang Xin quietly prepared for the worst.

If anything really happened to Cao Xin, he would absolutely make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and obtain a hundred-thousand-year immortal herb to save Little Xin's life.

Qian Gu Dongfeng beside him was equally baffled.

Watching their brief exchange, he fell into an indescribable state of bewilderment.

So everything he had just said was for nothing, was it?

He had clearly explained the danger posed by the remnant spiritual power of the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord.

Yet look at this father and son.

One said he could do it.

The other simply believed him.

As though all of his explanations had gone in one ear and out the other.

Moreover, even if the Tang Sect truly had some secret method or means of allowing someone to absorb this External Soul Bone.

Had they not considered...

How a two-ring Soul Grandmaster was supposed to kill a three-thousand-year spiritual-attribute Soul Beast?

The Evil Eye Tyrant Race had always excelled in spiritual power, and their attacks were impossible to guard against.

Even ordinary four-ring Soul Masters might not come out unscathed, much less a child who had only just gained two rings.

In the end, Qian Gu Dongfeng could only give up.

After all, only a portion of a Soul Master's spiritual power entered the Ascension Platform.

Even if he died...

It would not affect his physical body in reality.

So, since Zang Xin himself was not worried...

There was no need for him to waste any more breath.

But suddenly, Qian Gu Dongfeng's gaze inadvertently swept across Cao Xin's figure on the screen.

The boy raised both hands at once.

The Sentimental Sword in his left hand, the Ruthless Sword in his right.

He suddenly realized something.

Wait a second.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes widened abruptly.

This kid actually had Twin Martial Souls?

And they were the Ruthless Sword and the Sentimental Sword?

In an instant.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes filled with disbelief.

Wasn't the Sentimental Sword Zang Xin's Martial Soul?

Why did this kid have it too?

What was his relationship with Zang Xin?

At that moment, countless thoughts raced through Qian Gu Dongfeng's mind.

When he had heard Cao Xin call Zang Xin "Second Dad" earlier, he had not thought much of it, assuming he had been taken in as an adopted son or something similar.

But looking at it now...

This went beyond the scope of taking on a disciple or adopting a son.

Only a direct bloodline could inherit a Martial Soul so precisely.

Then Qian Gu Dongfeng thought of the fact that this kid called Zang Xin Second Dad.

So who was First Dad?

The answer was practically on the tip of his tongue.

His gaze swept back and forth several times between the boy's face on the screen and Zang Xin's profile beside him. The more he looked, the more he felt there was some subtle, wondrous connection between their features.

Thus, he became even more confused.

He seemed to have discovered...

Something truly extraordinary.

He looked at Zang Xin, his gaze brimming with unspoken words.

Meanwhile, inside the Ascension Platform.

Cao Xin charged toward the Evil Eye Tyrant.

The Evil Eye Tyrant flew into a rage.

An invisible spiritual shockwave suddenly erupted.

The Sentimental Sword glowed faintly.

Second Soul Skill, Traceback.

In an instant, Cao Xin entered the Traceback state.

Light flashed.

He ignored the Evil Eye Tyrant's spiritual shockwave...

And instantly appeared before the Evil Eye Tyrant.

At the same time, his First Soul Skill lit up.

Once.

Cao Xin's gaze turned gentle.

In that instant...

His eyes seemed filled with some utterly pure emotion, clear and moving like spring snow beginning to melt.

Invisible spiritual ripples...

Gently brushed across the Evil Eye Tyrant's enormous pupil.

The Evil Eye Tyrant, just about to unleash another instantaneous spiritual shockwave, froze as well.

The purple light gathering within its pupil suddenly scattered for a moment.

A wave of confusion flickered over the surface of its eyeball, as though it had fallen into some distant emotional memory.

Then, its own time reversed by one second.

The spiritual shockwave that had already gathered more than halfway dissolved back into a mass of scattered energy and vanished into the air.

Seizing the opening, Cao Xin thrust out the Ruthless Sword.

Late Autumn Sword Intent.

The surrounding air seemed stained with a layer of withered yellow, while phantom fallen leaves whirled around the sword tip.

Fallen leaves were merciless, and the autumn wind bleak!

The longsword pierced in, and the Evil Eye Tyrant cried out in pain.

Roar!

The Evil Eye Tyrant was completely enraged.

That enormous eyeball trembled violently.

The golden crack in its pupil suddenly expanded into a pitch-black vertical line.

The entire surface of its eyeball rapidly changed from dark purple into a thick, blood-red shade that resembled coagulated blood.

Wave after wave of spiritual shockwaves erupted in rings.

They bombarded him with the density and fury of a torrential downpour.

Cao Xin could only retreat and barely defend himself.

One had to know...

The Evil Eye Tyrant Race was exceptionally skilled at spiritual attacks.

They were born as darlings of spiritual power.

From the moment every Evil Eye Tyrant was born, it possessed spiritual control far surpassing that of Soul Beasts at the same level.

And because spiritual power was invisible and impossible to guard against.

When ordinary Soul Masters fought Evil Eye Tyrants, they were often struck before they could even see the trajectory of the attacks. At best, they would be dazed and disoriented; at worst, their minds would collapse.

Even some ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts might not have been as powerful as this Evil Eye Tyrant.
