The Expedition Returns, Seven Worlds!

"Ancestor, this Golden Crow possesses immense fortune, perhaps even surpassing yours. Born with a royal destiny, its identity is likely extraordinary!"

"This Yuhua- transformed brat, we don't know where he picked up this Golden Crow from. If he really is the reincarnation of some powerful being, we'll be in trouble..."

"After all, our clan has plans against the Golden Crow Race. If this Golden Crow escapes or sends out any messages, it could bring disaster upon us."

High above the clouds, Qin Xuanzi and Qin Lu concealed themselves in the sky, silently observing the Golden Crow spirit pet that Qin Yuhua had tamed.

"Let's continue to observe. So far, he doesn't seem hostile. After nurturing him to the Spirit Transformation Realm, cut off all his resources."

"Keep him at the Spirit Transformation stage. It's best to limit resources on this kind of hidden threat. We absolutely mustn't let him break through to True Immortal, as that would only introduce more variables..."

"Let's see what moves the Golden Crow will make next. If we can make some use of it, we might even be able to set up a trap."

Qin Lu wasn't sure either, so he planned to keep it under house arrest. That way, he could stop any unusual behavior immediately and eliminate it completely!

Given the opportunity, they might even be able to use this chance to set a trap, and who knows, perhaps even kill off a group of True Immortal...

In any case, we should just wait and see.

In fact, the moment the Golden Crow entered the Great Qin Nebula...

Qin Xuanzi sensed the melody of destiny and was slightly disturbed, and even Qin Lu felt a trace of unusual Yang Dao energy.

Therefore--

The two had been observing silently for months, though neither could be 100% certain...

But both Qin Lu and Qin Xuanzi have already tacitly acknowledged that this Golden Crow is definitely the reincarnation of some powerful being.

However, it's still uncertain what level of cultivator he/she is reincarnated from. The only certainty is that he/she is at least a reincarnation of a True Immortal...

It's just unknown whether he's an ordinary Mystic Immortal, or Golden Immortal, Taiyi, or even the reincarnation of Dao Ancestor...

After all, if it is a reincarnation of the Golden Crow, it will inevitably still be Golden Crow.

After the first Ancestor Yang perished, he disappeared without a trace, and the second Great Yang Dao Ancestor immediately succeeded him in the position of Great Yang Dao Ancestor.

Later, at the invitation of the Three Gods, he formed the prototype of the Divine Court of the Three Gods and Fifteen Ancestors, and from then on, he dominated the region and remained invincible for several eras to this day...

The Divine Court of that era did not hold absolute power over any single region...

They even invited the first Ancestor Yang, but he refused. At that time, the first Ancestor Yang Ancestor Yang wanted to kill the Grand Yin Dao Ancestor in order to seize the Yin-Yang Fruit position.

This elevated the Golden Crow Race to a divine status, making them a supreme power that ruled over the heavens, and then various subsequent events occurred...

In the continuous embellishment of later generations, the records of the first Ancestor Yang were almost completely erased. Apart from some ancient beings, many creatures even believed that the Ancestor Yang had never changed from ancient times to the present.

These High Antiquity secrets were mostly recorded by the Human Race. Qin Lu learned about them from the higher-ups of the Human Race after he became Golden Immortal...

Furthermore, through various hidden puppets, they constantly spy on many secrets of the heavens!

Some factions had already been thoroughly infiltrated by Qin Lu, and the puppets he controlled were completely unaware that they were being manipulated...

Even those who are being controlled are unaware that they are being controlled, so the many forces in the heavens are even more beyond question.

With Qin Lu's current spiritual strength, coupled with the enhancement of the Soul Dao, let alone True Immortal and Golden Immortal, even Taiyi might not be able to see anything wrong.

At this point--

This matter concerning the unknown Golden Crow will now be left unresolved, pending future developments...

On the other hand, over the past few hundred years, the expeditionary force has successively conquered two worlds and killed one Ice Dao True Immortal and one Silver Dao True Immortal!

Since the start of the expedition, they have annihilated nine True Immortal, successfully seized seven unclaimed worlds, and a portion of the world's origin.

This trip was incredibly fruitful!

The expeditionary force set sail in 4539 of the Great Qin Dynasty calendar, and it has now been 5485 years since Great Qin. The entire Immortal Hunting Expedition has spanned a full 946 years...

They hunted down nine immortals, obtained seven worlds, and secretly met with the Grand Yin Dao Ancestor of Taiyin to reach an agreement. The Grand Yin Dao Ancestor chose to retreat.

He then gifted two top-grade immortal artifacts as an investment in the Human Race and the Qin Humans.

now--

The expeditionary force returned in triumph, and the Vast Spirit Star Domain once again entered a period of rapid development, having conquered seven unclaimed worlds this time...

The Qin Humans Race then asked for a Jade Dao World, a Lightning Dao World, and that portion of the world's origin, as well as the authority over the Great Dao.

The authority over the Jade Dao was given to Jade Elephant Immortal, the Lightning Dao was absorbed by Qin Zhenyu, and the authority over the Water Dao was given to Qin Zheng, bringing his authority to 1.3%!

The remaining six powers—ice, river, silver, earth, wood, and magnetism—were all stored away because there was no suitable person to absorb them, totaling about 3% of the total power.

This portion of authority was useless to the immortals, but the Qin Humans Race still needed it to repay their debts, so they ceded most of the immortal artifacts captured during the expedition in exchange for this 3% of the comprehensive Great Dao authority.

certainly--

Qin Lu is not going to repay the debt to the Human Race now, but rather to temporarily preserve it. If someone in the clan eventually achieves a certain path, it can be used to supplement their own True Immortal strength.

After all, this immortal artifact that stores authority is unique to the Human Race, and it is a Human Race Secret Method created by the Dao Ancestor of Refining...

Even if other races wanted to learn it, they couldn't!

Within the entire Vast Spirit Alliance, only the Qin Humans Race had the means to stockpile such items, so they naturally accepted the Qin Humans's offer of immortal artifacts to compensate them.

Especially the authority over the Ice Dao, Human Race is currently plundering extensively, all to accumulate resources for the Ice Dao Daluo: Cold Venerable...

And so the Great Expedition ended.

The various races of the Vast Spirit Alliance then began cultivating seeds of immortality. Except for the Qin Humans Race, which obtained two worlds and a portion of the world's origin, the other five races each received only one world.

The distribution of the Qin Humans Race was quite simple and clear.

That portion of the world's origin was directly given to Tang Yan. She already possessed a share of the world's origin, and now she received another share to enhance her...

It is estimated that in about two thousand years, they will be able to officially ascend to immortality.

The remaining Jade Dao World and Lightning Dao World, including the resources and core Dao of the Lightning Dao World, were directly taken away by Qin Zhenyu...

All these materials and origins of the Great Lightning Dao were replenished by Qin Zhenyu the Wild Thunder World, causing the mountains and rivers of the Wild Thunder World to tremble and Spiritual Qi to erupt continuously in various places!

Countless bolts of lightning converge, generating countless divine lightning of different colors, and countless cultivators use this to cultivate and comprehend, thereby preparing for the Lightning Tribulation and undergoing transformation and advancement.

Countless Demon Beast took advantage of this world change to soar to the heavens!

In addition to the three branches of the Qin Dragon Race, a new branch, the Lightning Dragon Clan, has been added, with three Nascent Spirit Transformation Lightning Dragon presiding over it...

From then on, the Qin Dragon Race changed from three branches to four branches.
