Chapter 334: Surpassing the Great Ancestor
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that time, the Qin family’s quasi-emperor was in his prime. After seeing the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor, he had personally declared that the Ninth Ancestor had the potential to surpass him in the future!
One had to know, at that time, the Qin family’s quasi-emperor was already standing at the pinnacle of the world! The only existence above him was the great emperor!
In other words, the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor originally had the potential to become a great emperor!
Thousands of years ago, he had become a great saint! And twenty years ago, he had even broken through to become a saint king!
If it wasn’t for Qin Hao’s birth attracting the phenomenon of the Longevity Body, perhaps the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor would still be in seclusion at the Qin family’s back mountain.
It was also because of Qin Hao’s birth that the Ninth Ancestor was overjoyed and had personally gone overseas to find spiritual herbs to consolidate his foundation.
He had been gone for over ten years now! Counting the time, he should be returning soon!
If a saint king knew that someone had extracted the Longevity Immortal Marrow from his descendant, he would probably go insane on the spot.
At that time, apart from that quasi-emperor, there was probably no one else in the entire Qin family who could deal with the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor!
But the problem was…the Qin family’s quasi-emperor didn’t have much lifespan left. If he perished while fighting the Ninth Ancestor, it would be a huge blow to the entire Qin family.
What was even more worrying was.Jf the Ninth Ancestor wanted to deal with Qin Yuan, it would be even more troublesome! Unless Qin Yuan stayed in the Shadowless Hall permanently.
However, the chances of that were very low. If Qin Yuan was so afraid of the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor that he didn’t dare step out of the Shadowless Hall, then all the experts in the Shadowless Hall’s evaluation of Qin Yuan would greatly diminish.
After all, they wanted to nurture an invincible, peerless prodigy, not a flower grown in a greenhouse!
After careful deliberation, Qin Yuan felt that sending the Ninth Ancestor on his way to the underworld was the best choice!
In the entire East Barrens, apart from the Qin family’s own experts, there was no one else who could reliably send the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor to his death.
This was mainly because it was easiest to deal with one’s own kin. No matter how strong the Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor was, how could he have anticipated there would be someone from the Qin family itself who wanted to deal with him?
“Ninth Ancestor…” Qin Ziteng hesitated upon hearing this.
No matter what, he was still the Qin family’s head. To make a move against the Qin family’s elders was somewhat unreasonable, both emotionally and rationally.
Just Qin Hao alone, along with his father, had already caused great turmoil in the Qin family. Add the Ninth Ancestor to the mix, and if they failed, the future Qin family would probably never know peace!
“If Father finds it difficult, then think of a way to suppress him for a thousand years. After a thousand years, I will surpass the Ninth Ancestor! I may even surpass our Qin family’s Great Ancestor!” Qin Yuan said nonchalantly.
His words contained tremendous confidence. Even Qin Ziteng could not help but solemnly glance at his son.
A thousand years – neither long nor short in the grand scheme. For an ordinary mortal, it would be at least ten cycles of reincarnation. But for a saint, it was nothing.
Barely a tenth of their lifespan. The Qin family’s Ninth Ancestor was already a saint king. As for the Great Ancestor, he was the Qin family’s sole quasi-emperor. Yet Qin Yuan was confident he could eclipse them both within a millennium.
To the outside world, this might sound rather shocking. But for Qin Yuan, it seemed perfectly normal. Such was the terror of Qin Yuan’s talents! Almost everyone could only gaze up at his back!
“I will remember this!” Qin Ziteng nodded slightly to assent, then continued, “You have been cultivating in the Shadowless Hall for a long time. This time, when you come to the Spirit Race and see your grandfather, do not mention anything about your uncle!”
Qin Yuan’s uncle was the previous Spirit Race Patriarch. It was a pity that not long ago, the Spirit Race Patriarch had fallen at the Demon Slaying Altar. This news had already begun spreading, dealing a huge blow to the Spirit Race. Discussion of it was now forbidden within the Spirit Race.
As for Qin Yuan’s grandfather, having lost his son in old age just as he was about to break through to become a saint, he had tragically failed at the final moment. If he suffered even a bit more emotional turmoil, who knew if Qin Yuan’s grandfather, already low on lifespan, would perish on the spot?
“I already know about uncle’s matters. For a mere Su Chen, I still acted a bit rashly! In another ten years, I will definitely slay him!” Qin Yuan said indifferently.
In recent years, Su Chen’s name had climbed to the apex in the East Barrens. Although only at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, he already had gained a reputation as the number one expert below the Saint Realm. Even some of the older semi-saints felt inferior before him.
Coupled with Su Chen’s age and connections, he commanded great respect from many. Even Qin Yuan, who possessed two peerless talents, could not compare to Su Chen. This made Qin Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
In his eyes, Su Chen had unknowingly become a stumbling block on his path forward. By his reckoning, sooner or later there would be a battle between the two of them. And the final victor would definitely be him!
“It’s just that… 1 wonder how the Spirit Race is faring right now?” Qin Yuan spoke again.
Earlier, there had still been some news coming from the Spirit Race. But now, there was nothing. This cast a pall of gloom over both their hearts.
Usually when this happened, there were only two possibilities.
Either the Spirit Race was already finished! Naturally, then there would be no more news. Or the second possibility – the Spirit Race had already wiped out the invading enemies, and were currently cleaning up the battlefield, hence no time to relay messages.
“I reckon all is fine. The Spirit Race’s protection formation was set up by a saint king in the past. It can withstand attacks from several peers.”
“Moreover, the Spirit Race still has a few saints guarding it. How many factions in the current age can annihilate the Spirit Race in an instant?” Qin Ziteng spoke confidently.
In his opinion, there were definitely factions capable of destroying the Spirit Race, and quite a number too. However, some of those terrifying powers harbored no past grudges or recent enmity with the Spirit Race, so they would not make a move.
As for some holy lands or clans, even if they had the ability, they could not break the Spirit Race’s protective formation in a short period of time.
“My son, isn’t that the Spirit Race island ahead? Hmm?”
Qin Ziteng spoke, but before he could finish, his expression abruptly shifted. He shot to his feet within the flying Dao weapon, crying out in astonishment, “Where is the Spirit Race?”
In his memory, the originally flourishing island had vanished without a trace. In its place was a group of ravaged, devastated isles riddled with holes. If he had not been certain this was where the Spirit Race island lay, he might have thought he had come to the wrong location entirely.
“Just what in the world happened here?”
Qin Ziteng was shocked pale. The massive Spirit Race had been wiped out in the span of a few short minutes.. What kind of terrifying power could accomplish such a feat? At the minimum, a saint king must have acted!
