Chapter 34

"Speak!"

"Yes!"

"The first matter is that a Heavenly Quality Dragon Soul has appeared in Tianfeng City. This boy is named Qin Pang. I have already brought him here for the Great Elder to review. The second matter is about the Qin family disciple beside me. During the soul initiation process, a Divine Quality Dragon Soul phenomenon once appeared, but for some unknown reason, the soul quality suddenly dropped, and the bloodline soul ultimately became a black, dead snake soul of no quality or rank. I am unclear about this matter, so I have come to seek the Great Elder's guidance."

"As for the third matter, it is related to the second. The energy in the bloodline pool is severely insufficient, so I hope the Great Elder can grant a drop of the Ancestor Dragon's blood for the disciples of Yunqi Kingdom who have yet to undergo soul initiation."

Qin Dingtian spoke succinctly and clearly, quickly finishing his report.

"Divine Quality Dragon Soul?"

In the darkness, an incredibly aged and surprised voice sounded. This time, it turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Little one, what is your name?"

"Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng raised his head. Although he could not see anyone, he still answered with his head held high.

"Qin... Feng..."

The Great Elder in the darkness seemed to be silently repeating Qin Feng's name, as if reminiscing about something. After a long time, a sigh was heard, "Forget it, release your bloodline soul for me to see."

Qin Feng did not refuse. He activated his bloodline power, and immediately the black snake soul became visible.

It was still the same old story. As soon as this soul appeared, it lay dead on the ground, its white belly facing up, making Qin Feng feel a surge of anger.

The three people who came with him still had the same old expressions: sighs, regrets, and disdain! Only the child's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it quickly returned to a wooden expression.

This time, they waited for a long time, but there was no response from inside the cave.

Only the sound of the flames burning inside the cave made everyone feel restless, but no one dared to breathe loudly.

To act rashly here would be to court death.

Fortunately, just as everyone was starting to find the strange atmosphere unbearable, the aged voice from the depths of the cave spoke again.

This time, the words stunned everyone present!

"Little one, thirteen years ago, you came here once, didn't you?"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback but still nodded.

"Alas, it is the will of the times and fate!"

Another sigh, and the aged voice became even lower. "Little one, do you know that thirteen years ago, I spent fifty years of cultivation to divine a fortune for you? Your path... is not in the ancient clan, but in your own heart." He paused, seemingly giving Qin Feng time to digest his words.

This time, Qin Feng was truly moved.

Before this, Qin Feng had always felt that the ancient clan was cold and heartless towards him and his father, but the Great Elder's words today stirred up a thousand waves in his heart. Qin Feng's feelings were very complex at this moment.

"My path is in my heart? What does that mean?"

Qin Feng was confused and asked.

"Little one, some things you must understand on your own. As for the problem with your body, the ancient clan is indeed powerless."

"Junior does not understand, please enlighten me..." From the Great Elder's words, Qin Feng seemed to have some understanding, but his doubts deepened. Just as he was about to ask more, the Great Elder's aged voice had already dismissed them.

"Little child, go fetch a drop of the Ancestor Dragon's blood for Dingtian. As for the other two little ones, let them stay behind."

"Senior...!"

Qin Feng was unwilling, but the other party had already fallen silent and did not respond to his call.

Qin Dingtian, after fetching the Ancestor Dragon's blood with the child, saw that Qin Feng was still standing in place, looking forward, waiting for a response. He sighed and shook his head, then patted Qin Feng's shoulder, signaling that it was time to leave.

Qin Feng gave the darkness a reluctant glance, confirming that there was no response, and could only follow Qin Dingtian out.

After the four of them left the cave, the originally wooden child suddenly became spirited, almost like a different person. He shouted towards the darkness, "Master, why did you lie to him? During that time, I accompanied you day and night, and I never saw you divine for anyone. Most importantly, I know that you don't even know how to divine. Moreover, his bloodline soul, though dead, is filled with a vibrant aura of the netherworld. Nether energy is also the origin of life. Why didn't you tell him this, instead of saying a bunch of mysterious, half-understood things?"

"Little child, how many years have you been with me?"

In the darkness, the aged voice sounded again, but this time, it was filled with affection.

The child tilted his head and thought, "Master, for 612 years!"

"More than 600 years. Your cultivation is satisfactory, but your mind is still not enlightened. The nether aura... you are right, but our Qin family's Divine Quality Dragon Soul is of such a high caliber. How could it easily fall? It is a rebirth from death! Divine Quality... how extraordinary you are!" After a long sigh, the Great Elder suddenly changed the subject, "However, some things, even if not told to him, he will gradually understand and discover on his own. And the effect of that seems better than me telling him directly..."

"Hmm? Is Master... setting up a chess game again?"

The child was taken aback, as if he had thought of something, and asked.

"Chess game? This boy is already in a grand chess game, and setting up another game within it has little meaning. Besides, I am not a match for that mysterious and unfathomable entity..."

"Then what does Master mean...?"

"Little child, I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

After a long silence, there was no sound from inside the cave. Finally, the aged voice sighed, "This boy, born as a demon, is unfortunate... but fortunately, he was born in the Qin family and has a good father who has guided him onto the right path! Even if he becomes a demon in the future and becomes the enemy of the world, with his father, he will eventually return to the right path."

The child's face showed a hint of realization!

"Master, thirteen years ago, did you intentionally do this? Did you already see through the mystery?"

"Alas, my cultivation is still shallow. I can only do so much. The rest is up to this boy's own destiny."

"But, Master, why not keep him in the ancient clan and focus on his cultivation? Instead, you gave him hints to leave the Qin family?"

"Keep him? The ancient clan's strength is not enough to retain this boy. His sky is in the vast Qingxuan world, and he may even fly higher."

"Higher... where is that?"

The child was confused again.

"But... Master, are we just giving up on him? If he really becomes the enemy of the world one day, how should our clan decide?"

If... that day really comes, there is no choice! Little child, remember, our clan will always be the strongest support for every Qin family disciple!

Always!
