26: Qin Tian, ​​you have successfully caught my attention.

"Tian'er, what's wrong?" Xue Wener asked with concern, sensing Qin Tian's restless state of mind.

"It's nothing." Qin Tian suppressed the anger in his heart and adjusted his emotions as he spoke slowly.

[Detected Xue Wener's meticulous care and affection for the Host, absorbing...]

Qin Tian was stunned; the power of love within the seven emotions seed was constantly growing.

So it turns out...

The love of the seven emotions doesn't just refer to romantic love...?

His handsome face couldn't help but flush red.

How shallow of me, truly shallow!

"These are treasures I brought from the Secret Realm, they are just right for you to use, and these..."

Xue Wener said as she brought out basket after basket of treasures.

The System's voice rang continuously in Qin Tian's mind.

[Detected Xue Wener's meticulous care and affection for the Host, absorbing...]

[Detected Xue Wener's meticulous care and affection for the Host, absorbing...]

...Until the emotional power within the seven emotions seed stopped growing, a majestic aura exploded in Qin Tian's mind.

In a daze, he seemed to see a long river formed by time, swimming in it alone; in just a brief moment, he experienced the vast changes of the world and crossed through the passage of years... Xue Wener's eyes lit up with joy.

"Is this an enlightenment of the Dao!?"

Unlike previous times, no scriptures surged from the seven emotions seed.

In their place were voices spanning across the ages... there were sighs, shouts, laughter, and sorrowful cries... voice after voice echoed continuously.

Those were completely different languages from various eras.

Yet, Qin Tian felt as if he had experienced them personally and could completely understand their meaning.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden realization struck his heart, and he snapped his eyes open!

Wisps of the light of time drifted in his eyes...!

The low murmurs of time echoed in his ears...!

This is—

「Time's Whisper · Moment」!

At this moment, the world in Qin Tian's eyes became incredibly slow, nearly frozen.

However, it only lasted for an instant before the spiritual power in his body was rapidly drained.

The surrounding scenes accelerated continuously until they returned to normal... "Tian'er, what's wrong?" Xue Wener's Divine Thought quickly swept over him.

"I just had some more insights."

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up as a drop of Myriad Things Birth · Morning Dew condensed, and within three breaths, he returned to his Peak.

Surprise appeared in Xue Wener's eyes.

Qin Tian's dao seed was truly unfathomable.

"Tian'er, in the future, try not to manifest your dao seed in front of powerful experts; it might bring you trouble."

"Also, since you have already entered the Dao, you will surely go out for experience. Remember not to reveal your mother's identity while outside."

"You are Qin Tian of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, you are the Disciple Qin Tian of Divine Firmament Peak's Yun Xi, and you can even be Qin Tian of the Qin Family, but you must never be Qin Tian, the son of the Xue Clan Saintess, Xue Wener, understand?"

"In their eyes, Xue Wener's child is already long dead..."

Xue Wener's brow furrowed, her expression becoming serious as worry showed in her eyes.

"Tian'er understands."

Qin Tian nodded heavily. He knew what Xue Wener was worried about, so he spoke in a deep voice:

"Is there still no clue about father's death?"

"Not yet, but there will be one day." Xue Wener shook her head.

"If I find them, I will swat them away with a single palm to avenge father."

Xue Wener was taken aback.

Pfft~

"You brat, when did you learn how to brag?"

"They are far more powerful than you can imagine."

Qin Tian didn't explain.

Once he farmed enough fate reversal points and stocked up on dozens of Ceiling Experience Coupons...

Those guys who aren't the son of destiny, swatting them to death would be as easy as swatting mosquitoes!

"By the way, mother, there's one thing you must keep in mind."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Stay far, far, far away from a guy named Xiao Chen."

"Xiao Chen?" Xue Wener recalled carefully and confirmed she didn't know anyone by that name.

"Alright, Mother knows. If someone called Xiao Chen appears, I'll stay far away!"

Qin Tian smiled with relief.

Afterward, Qin Tian and Xue Wener talked about their respective experiences, enjoying a rare moment of warmth... Not far outside the Immortal Cave.

The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up slightly as her Divine Thought spread out, turning the area into a restricted zone and preventing any living creature from approaching... Great Qian Imperial Palace.

An elegant and stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a golden dragon robe sat atop the Dragon Throne.

However, even the wide dragon robe could hardly conceal her stately Peaks... She held a white Jade Slip, her fingertips rubbing it.

The Restriction on the Jade Slip was not complicated; she could break it with ease.

But at this moment, her eyes were full of doubt.

"You say this was given to you by someone from the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect?"

Not far ahead, Mu Changfeng and Lin Sanyue nodded in agreement.

"The Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, huh..."

You Ruoli murmured, erased the Restriction, and sent her Divine Thought into the Jade Slip.

「Her Majesty the Empress, seeing these words is like meeting in person:

I am Qin Tian, someone who, like Your Majesty, wants Xiao Chen to die.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I hope Your Majesty can listen to the words of this friend you've never met...」

You Ruoli sat still, her body unmoving, only her eyes occasionally revealing surprise and occasionally showing anger... Mu Changfeng and Lin Sanyue glanced at each other, a faint sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

"Hmph!"

Bang!

You Ruoli slammed her hand heavily on the Dragon Desk, and a terrifying pressure radiated outward.

"Hah—!"

Mu Changfeng and Lin Sanyue's faces turned pale as they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

They didn't know what was written in the Jade Slip; they only knew that Her Majesty the Empress seemed very Life Qi, and the consequences would be severe!

If they weren't careful, their lives would be forfeit... Fortunately, You Ruoli only swept a cold gaze over everyone.

"All of you, withdraw."

The two of them immediately let out a sigh of relief and left without looking back, repeatedly excusing themselves.

After a while, the palace was silent, leaving only You Ruoli alone.

"Hmph!"

"What a Qin Tian you are!"

"How dare you say that Xiao Chen has Luck on his side, tell me not to recklessly give away my life, and that I should discuss with him before taking action?"

"And you even want me to follow your arrangements?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Daring to teach me how to do things, I'd like to see just what skills you actually have."

Crack.

The Jade Slip in You Ruoli's hand was directly vibrated into powder.

However, she soon lowered her head again, the anger in her eyes replaced by doubt.

"Qin Tian..."

"Exactly who is he?"

"Why is he so familiar with me?"

"He even knows crystal clear that I am trapped at a Bottleneck and unable to Breakthrough?"

"Just when did he start investigating me?"

"I actually didn't know at all..."

"There is great li dragon qi in the Fallen Dragon Grotto..."

"No one has ever found a trace of Dragon Qi in all the years the Fallen Dragon Grotto has been open; how did he know such a secret?"

You Ruoli couldn't figure it out.

She developed a strong curiosity about this man named Qin Tian whom she had never met... "Qin Tian, with just a single Jade Slip, you have successfully caught my attention..."

"I wonder, what kind of person is the real you?"

"I am actually looking forward to the day I meet you..."

You Ruoli stood up and walked outside, looking up at the silent starry sky, remaining motionless for a long time as if deep in thought... On the other side, inside the Divine Firmament Peak Immortal Cave.

Xue Wener had already left.

Only Qin Tian remained, constantly flipping through the Dao Peak classics.

Several hours later.

Through unremitting efforts, he finally found it!

"void refining dao transformation water can extinguish a fire-attribute dao seed, causing its power of heaven and earth to leak out and wither away..."

Below was the recipe for the void refining dao transformation water.

Qin Tian memorized it by heart, "Tomorrow, I'll go find Ming Tian once and ask where I can get these refining Materials."

"As for the remaining time, I must properly study the scriptures in the seven emotions seed and make full preparations."

"As for Xiao Chen, I heard that because he smelled too bad, he was forced into seclusion. That's a bit of a pity, no chance to farm fate reversal points..."

He muttered to himself while calculating the next things he needed to do.

Unbeknownst to him, Yun Xi had been watching from outside the Immortal Cave.

The corners of her eyes held a smile, looking exceptionally beautiful and moving against the backdrop of the moonlight.

"Tian'er's serious appearance is also very charming..."

"As for that Xiao Chen, Tian'er seems to care a lot. In that case, after the Fallen Dragon Grotto opens, I'll find an opportunity to kill him..."

...
