Qing Centipede Breaks Through, Bringing Double Joy!
Qin Lu took the baby--
An old man and a young boy locked eyes; one was kind and approachable, the other a curious child. Their gazes were piercing, as if they could see a lifetime in a single glance...
Before anyone knew it, Qin Lu had a grandson.
The deep bond of blood ties overwhelmed Qin Lu with emotion, yet he didn't know how to express it...
Subsequently--
Spiritual Power flows along the meridians to assess a child's aptitude.
Seeing this, everyone tensed up. If this boy lacked the aptitude for cultivation, then according to the family rules set by Qin Lu...
This child cannot be given a generational name or included in the family genealogy!
From now on, he can only use the name Qin Han. Although he cannot cultivate, he is still the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family, and being a wealthy old man is enough for him...
certainly--
To be born into the Immortal Clan but be unable to cultivate is a kind of suffering in itself, and this suffering will become more and more bitter with the passing years!
At least, the Pseudo-Immortal Seedlings can still cultivate; its path forward is not yet closed...
But if it's an ordinary person...
In Immortal Cultivation Lineage, this is undoubtedly a death sentence, even worse than being killed!
Qin Xiao broke out in a cold sweat because of this...
Although a baby's aptitude can be tested after birth...
But he dared not; he feared that his child would be as mediocre as he was, or even just an ordinary person, and that was what he dreaded.
Even his mother, Zhang Clan, who was a little further away, clenched her fists tightly...
A moment later--
Qin Lu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes...
"May Heaven bless my Qin Clan's Qilin son!"
"A spiritual light 1.5 inches in diameter, excellent aptitude, a bright future in Qi Condensation!"
After saying that--
Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and Qin Xiao was especially excited, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions, displaying a maturity and composure, and began to plan...
"Father, Minghan has such natural talent."
"Should we suppress the news to prevent any malicious intent from...?"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu smiled calmly, shook his head, and handed the baby back to the Zhang Clan, revealing a hint of domineering arrogance:
"There's absolutely no need for that!"
"Our clan's territory is now vast, with countless subordinate forces. Without a successor of exceptional talent, we fear future chaos may ensue..."
"Now that Minghan has been born, his future in Qi Condensation is very promising!"
"This will not only enhance the reputation of the Qin Clan, but also let those below know that the Qin Clan has successors, thus consolidating its Qin Clan!"
"In addition..."
"This child, I will personally train him!"
Seeing this, everyone was excited, feeling a sense of triumph!
Among the second generation of Qin, not a single one possessed even a sliver of intelligence. Though no one pointed it out, they too often wept in the quiet of the night...
finally--
The third generation of the Qin Clan has produced a true prodigy!
Soon after--
The news that a prodigy had emerged from the third generation of the Qin Clan spread like wildfire!
They even boasted that they would host a banquet of ten thousand tables!
A grand banquet was held for all the subordinate forces under its rule, a celebration for the whole nation...
Even the Xuan River Zhang Clan and the Huanglian Huang Clan, though they did not send Qi Condensation cultivators, still sent people to offer their congratulations and present a small gift!
And the affiliated forces went to great lengths to scheme.
The congratulatory gifts were incredibly diverse, ranging from spiritual objects to unusual trinkets from the mundane world...
Even worse--
They sent two beautiful women, intending to give Xiao Minghan two more stepmothers!
The gift was delivered to Qin Xiao's backyard, causing his wife Zhang Clan, to sulk for several days and even refuse to let Qin Xiao sleep with her for a few days...
Later, Qin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore—
He then bestowed the two women upon his fifth brother, Qin Zhao...
There was nothing he could do; Qin Zhao was born to the same mother as him, and as the elder brother, he should also care about his fifth brother's marriage!
The eldest brother is like a father, and he, as the elder brother, has worried himself sick...
It's a good thing to let them experience it first.
Lest he be subdued by his wife in one fell swoop and become a henpecked husband...
Several months later--
In the newly opened Spirit Beast Peak, the Qing Centipede perched atop a giant rock at the summit, beneath which lay countless corpses and remnants of flesh and blood...
The Qing Centipede was feeding voraciously...
This was the third Giant Deer Demon he had consumed, along with three more Qi Condensation used to cultivate new types of toxins...
In addition, it consumed hundreds of low-level herbs, and countless other toxic medicinal materials!
Even before--
The three Crimson Millipede they obtained were fed to the Qing Centipede as food...
When the Blood Qi and qi in his body have accumulated to their peak!
"Aww!"
The Qing Centipede suddenly roared to the sky, its extremely strange insect chirping echoing throughout the desolate mountains and fields, and even reaching the entire Ba City...
Countless ordinary people knelt down on the spot!
The Warrior in the city looked at the Spirit Beast Peak with even greater awe, knowing that it was the spirit beast of Ancestor Qin, which was about to break through to the Second-Tier!
That's Second-Tier great demon!
Equivalent to a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator in the Human Race, his divine might is vast and extraordinary!
The formidable reputation of the Beichuan Qin Family was thus brought to life!
Just hearing that one chirping insect was enough to frighten countless low-level Warrior into losing their composure...
Looking from afar--
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered in the air!
Countless insects came from all directions!
Centipedes were the most numerous, as if welcoming the birth of their clan's king. A vast swarm of insects gathered, a terrifying sight...
At this moment—atop a giant rock atop Spirit Beast Peak.
The Qing Centipede remained coiled up, motionless, and its aura mysteriously dissipated...
I don't know how much time passed--
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The heavy pounding of my heart rose and fell continuously!
This is a transformation unique to insect-type Demon Beast. Insect demons are weak, and during the process of transforming from mortal to spiritual, they will condense a: Insect Heart!
How weak is the heart of an insect!
Only by first strengthening the mind, and using the mind as the foundation, can one then transform the mortal body...
In contrast, animals often focus on developing intelligence when they break through limitations!
Its physical body is inherently strong, so it emphasizes mental strength. Higher intelligence makes cultivation easier, and the higher the level, the easier it is to cultivate to the Fourth-Tier of Demon Beast...
Legend has it that Fourth-Tier Demon Beast can condense Demon Core, thereby transforming into human form.
Therefore, they are called: Demon Cultivator!
He can also be called Demon King, who leads a region of demons and establishes a demon realm!
For example, in the northern part of the Daliang State, the Frost Spirit Demon Domain was established by the Frost Demon King, and its target was the various major Human Race...
Getting back to the main topic --
At this moment, the Qing Centipede's Insect Heart successfully condensed!
With countless resources accumulated, the most difficult task—uniting the Insect Heart —became a natural outcome...
Immediately afterwards, its shell began to crack, revealing an even more dazzling new shell inside!
"Aww!"
A sharper, more terrifying insect chirp echoed through the sky!
The Qing Centipede broke free of its old shell, its hundreds of pairs of secondary legs pulsating up and down as it soared straight into the sky, roaming freely in the heavens!
Its body swelled again, reaching over ten feet in length, resembling a thousand-legged dragon...
(For the rest of you who have already been named, don't be discouraged. There will be many more members of the Qin Family later, and you can basically use all the names you wanted.)
