284: Chapter 284 World Tree Branches

Promise...

At this very moment.

Qin Xi, Qin Wang, and the members of the Qin Clan gazed at Qin Tian in unison, their eyes flashing with boundless anticipation.

Ever since that day when Qin Tian's voice shook the Ancient Realm of Longevity, they had fantasized more than once:

"If only Qin Tian were also of the Qin Clan, how wonderful that would be..."

And now, the fantasy had become reality.

Unknowingly, some shed tears.

When hope suddenly emerged in a life that seemed to have no future, no one could hold back.

Qin Tian curled his lips upward. "Let's go. Go inside and tell me about the curse."

Qin Xi raised her eyes gently, though this time there was much more hope in them...

Her legs, eroded by both Death Qi and the curse, had miraculously regained sensation the moment Qin Tian arrived.

Even though she could not yet stand, Qin Xi knew that day would not be far off.

...

Inside the house, fewer than ten people remained.

They were all the current decision-makers of the Qin Clan.

Everyone was very young, and a few even still had a look of naivety...

Qin Tian swept his gaze over them and sighed softly.

Qin Xi, with her quick wit, said slowly:

"Big Brother, we are the oldest ones in the clan..."

"We do not know why the Qin Clan is suffering from this curse, nor do we know who the enemies of the Qin Clan are. We only know the ancestral teachings passed down by our predecessors."

"Unless the Bloodline curse is broken, we can never leave this place."

Qin Tian was surprised. "Did the ancestors not leave behind any records?"

"They did... but some information was deliberately erased... If not for that, we would not have known that there was a branch of the Qin Clan in the Ancient Immortal era."

"Big Brother, is the Ancient Immortal Qin Clan doing well?"

Qin Tian nodded. "Very well. The Ancient Ancestor has attained the Dao of Longevity, and the clan is full of talent."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi and the others felt a weight lift from their hearts. "With that, we can rest easy... At least the Qin Clan's Bloodline will not be extinguished..."

"Don't you want to go and see?"

Qin Xi was stunned, her eyes dimming slightly.

"Big Brother, you do not know, but our Lifespan is already running low..."

"This Bloodline curse is terrifying; it constantly devours our vitality. Qin Clan disciples without cultivation basically do not live past twenty years old..."

"Even those like us who can achieve a Breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm do not live past thirty..."

"Although increasing one's cultivation can increase one's Lifespan, hundreds of years ago, the last remaining dao seed of the Qin Clan dissipated with the passing of our ancestors. We no longer have a chance to reach the Dao Entry Realm..."

Qin Xi's voice was very calm, devoid of fear.

The others were the same.

Death was something foreseeable for them, and they had long been prepared.

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

"In the past, you may have lacked Lifespan, but from today on, that will change."

"A dao seed, I have."

"The curse, I can break."

"Before long, everyone will be able to leave here."

Qin Xi was stunned, and Qin Wang was also somewhat dazed.

"Big Brother, you do not yet know the terror of the curse..."

"Reach out your hand."

"Huh?" Qin Xi paused for a moment, but still extended her palm.

A cool aura entered from her palm.

"System, take a look."

[Ding! Analyzing...]

[Ding! Analysis complete.]

[Ding! The Qin Clan is afflicted with a Bloodline curse originating from Chaos pollution. It is passed down through the Bloodline. To completely remove the curse, the following Materials are required: World Tree branch, Hongmeng Purple Qi, Life Morning Dew...]

"World Tree... Miraculous Spirit Wood..."

That goose-yellow figure appeared in Qin Tian's mind.

"I wonder how Second Junior Sister is doing. She said she was going into seclusion for nearly a hundred years, and now, not even half that time has passed..."

"Can it be exchanged?"

[Ding! A World Tree branch must be freshly picked from the World Tree. The Host can choose to exchange for a World Tree or World Tree seeds.]

[World Tree: Price 999... fate reversal points]

[World Tree seeds: Price 8,000,000 fate reversal points; it takes thirty eras to grow into a World Tree.]

Qin Tian: ...

"I suspect you are toying with me!"

[Ding! This is already a cheap price, Host...]

[Ding! If the owner of a World Tree sapling acts, the curse can also be removed.]

"You mean Second Junior Sister?"

[Ding! Yes!]

"But where did Second Junior Sister go?"

[Ding! The fate reversal wheel is automatically drawing...]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing "Su Ningying's location" X1]

Looking at the map in his mind, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.

This System really knows how to handle things!

"This is a forest? And it's surrounded by Holy Spirit phantoms. Could it be in the Holy Spirit Immortal Realm?"

[Ding! As expected of this System's Host, seeing through it at a glance—you are truly too smart!]

Qin Tian smiled.

"It seems I must make a trip there. I can also take the opportunity to search for the Source of the Holy Spirit to wash away the black aura on that finger bone."

"System, is there any way to temporarily suppress the Qin Clan's Bloodline curse?"

[Ding! The Bloodline curse originates from Chaos pollution. A large amount of Hongmeng Purple Qi can suppress it.]

The mechanical voice ceased.

Wisps of Purple Qi swirled around, constantly pouring into Qin Xi's body like a tide.

The members of the Qin Clan exclaimed.

Qin Xi was also shocked beyond measure.

She did not know what this Purple Qi was, but she had a very strange feeling inside her body that she could not describe.

She only knew that her body was better...

In every sense.

Dozens of breaths later, the Purple Qi disappeared.

Qin Tian curled his lips upward. "Try standing up?"

Qin Xi was taken aback and instinctively looked at her legs.

"Can... can I...?"

"You might feel a bit unaccustomed to it, hold onto something..."

Qin Xi followed his instructions, holding onto the table, and slowly stood up.

There was no pain as she had imagined, nor was there the slightest bit of difficulty...

She had stood up...!

Incredulous gazes filled the entire room.

At this moment, everyone did not know what to say.

This was simply a miracle!

"The curse within you has been suppressed. I also have dao seeds here. Choose one you like to Breakthrough to the Dao Entry Realm. I think increasing your Lifespan by a few hundred years won't be a problem. If you Cultivate diligently in the future, longevity may not be impossible to look forward to..."

"Lon... Longevity...?" Qin Xi's lips trembled, and her eyes turned red.

What an extravagant dream that was!

In the past, she didn't even have the qualification to fantasize about it, but now, everything was different...

"Thank you, Big Brother... Thank you... Thank you..."

Unable to hold back her tears, Qin Xi was about to bend her knees.

Qin Tian pulled her up. "From now on, you are my little sister. I will take you to meet Mother, Aunt, and everyone in the Qin Family."

"Of course, your Big Brother will not allow you to refuse."

"I will also suppress the curse for the others in the Qin Clan, once every hundred years, which will allow them to be no different from ordinary people."

A hundred years...!

The members of the Qin Clan nearby looked excited.

A hundred years of time—what an extravagance!

"Big Brother, will this cause you any harm?"

Qin Tian patted Qin Xi's head with some indulgence.

"Rest assured, there is no impact at all. I have so much Hongmeng Purple Qi that I can't even use it all..."

"As the little sister of me, Qin Tian, you don't need to be stingy about anything in the future!"

Qin Xi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a relaxation and smile she had never felt before. "Mm, then I will trouble you, Big Brother..."

Not long after.

Inside the Mustard Seed Cave Heaven, Purple Qi soared into the sky, and the Bloodline curse within the five hundred or so members of the Qin Clan was suppressed.

Once Su Ningying was found, the curse could be completely eradicated.

The members of the Qin Clan also began to pack up, preparing to leave with Qin Tian.

Now.

The miracle just displayed was enough to convince anyone; there would be no doubt.

As for Qin Tian himself, there was still one important matter.

The Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body was right here at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and he had to find it...!
