Seven Martial Sects.
As one of the six major sects of the Nine Suns Dynasty, it has been open for over three thousand years, with deep foundations and powerful individuals abundant.
And on this day, the mountains where the Seven Martial Sect is located are adorned with lanterns and festoons, drums are sounding, filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Hahaha, the sect has gained another elder, our Seven Martial Sect's foundations have increased again!"
"Yes, I heard that this Elder Qin Chuan achieved the Nirvana Golden Body before turning forty, breaking through to the Heaven-reaching realm is just around the corner."
"But, what does that have to do with us?"
"Hmm, thinking about it, indeed, whether the sect gains or loses an elder won't affect the sect's situation, our treatment won't change, and this Elder Qin won't be distributing red envelopes to us."
"Then... what are we happy about?"
"Why are there so many questions? If they tell you to be happy, just be happy! Over there, come, smile, and you too, hit those drums..."
Scenes like this are everywhere.
"Boom!"
"Nanhua Sword Sect comes to congratulate!"
At this moment, a sharp voice from a middle-aged man echoed, as a sword-shaped light broke through the air from the northwest.
"Beixue Sword Sect comes to congratulate!"
From another direction, a sword light flew over.
Like a chain reaction, figures appeared from all directions in the sky, coming together.
"Queri Blade Sect comes to congratulate!"
"Wind and Thunder Valley comes to congratulate!"
"Prince Dong's Mansion comes to congratulate!"
"Prince's Mansion comes to congratulate!"
"Imperial Capital Chu Family comes to congratulate!"
...
The ceremony lasted a whole day.
The top forces within the Nine Suns Dynasty all came, not only the experts from the other five major sects, but numerous top noble families, and even the royal family sent an inner chamber steward.
Chen Diao Temple!
The elderly eunuch in a bright red python robe, with graying hair and a smooth chin, commanded everyone's respect.
Not only because he was the most trusted subordinate of the emperor, but also because of his formidable power!
This elderly eunuch, many years ago, had already reached the fifth level of the Heaven-reaching realm, now his profundity is immeasurable.
What surprised Qin Chuan was.
No accidents happened during this celebration, nor did anyone jump out to make trouble or give him any setbacks.
Everyone from the sect leader to the elder managers of the Seven Martial Sect were very courteous to him, and those guests were polite too.
The host was generous and decent.
The guests were courteous and polite.
This...
The way to open it is wrong!
Qin Chuan felt a bit regretful, for he couldn't seize an opportunity to show off, because normally, such things could at least be stretched over several chapters.
"Could it be, because I'm not the chosen one? So, I can't receive such special treatment?"
For a long time, Qin Chuan sat on a boulder by the cliff, watching the sunset, with a self-mocking smile on his face.
At this time, Qin Zi's excited voice came from behind.
"Dad, this Seven Martial Sect is really generous, actually giving us such a large mountain, and there are palaces and servants as well!"
Qin Chuan turned his head to look.
He saw Qin Zi walking towards him, and behind Qin Zi was a majestic and imposing palace.
Under the glow of the sunset, this palace seemed golden, turning into the most noble backdrop for Qin Zi.
"Heh, just a mountain and a palace and you're this excited, shows your lack of ambition."
Qin Chuan chuckled disdainfully.
In fact.
He was a bit excited too.
But, he had to maintain his image!
Being an invincible powerhouse, what grand scenes hasn't he seen? Such small occasion, what does it matter?
Don't ask what expression to use, nostrils to the sky is right! At any time, indifference is the attitude of an invincible powerhouse!
Qin Zi came over and then sat next to Qin Chuan, he looked at the vermilion sunset on the horizon.
"Dad, can you tell me about your story with mom?"
His voice was very low, seemingly asking, yet also dreaming, his emotions somewhat low.
Qin Chuan's face stiffened slightly, then quickly exposed a self-deprecating expression: "Hehehe, what's there to tell about such things."
"I bet it must be thrilling."
Qin Zi looked up at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan pursed his lips.
Then, he looked again at the distant sunset, on the cheeks illuminated by the golden sunset, again appeared a deep self-mockery.
"Heh, a man, unable to protect his own woman, indeed thrilling...so thrilling!!"
His voice trembling slightly, finally, even containing a kind of hysterical anger, he abruptly stood up.
"Bang!!"
He stomped his foot, immediately causing the boulder below to crack open, shattering into pieces!
Then, he waved his large sleeves, turned and walked towards the palace, his silhouette was solitary and desolate.
"Dad…"
Qin Zi stared blankly at his father's figure, unexpected that his always calm father would be so agitated.
Moreover, he noticed, the shoulders of the man turning his back to him seemed to be trembling slightly.
He… was he sobbing?
For a moment, Qin Zi didn't know what to say, and didn't even dare to chase after to console him.
Because he instinctively felt, he touched on this man's pain.
This towering, impenetrable man, actually has a scar that must not be touched...
"He must really love your mother…"
At this moment, a low sigh sounded.
Qin Zi turned his head to look.
He saw a beautiful blonde woman standing behind him, the afterglow of the sunset outlined her ethereal shape, making her beauty somewhat unreal.
"Master!"
Qin Zi couldn't help but dive into the blonde woman's arms, tears uncontrollably streaming out.
"I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose, I didn't know mentioning Mom would cause Dad so much pain…"
The blonde woman gently tapped Qin Zi's head, softly comforting: "Actually, you did nothing wrong, as a son you have the right to know things about your mother, just that…"
She paused, her face showing a complex expression: "Your dad loves your mom so deeply…"
"The more advanced one's cultivation, the harder it is to fall in love, but once it happens, it becomes profound, even heavier than life itself!"
"These years, in your father's heart, there must be constant torment, though outwardly he seems no different from others, yet his heart… is more bitter than anyone else."
As she spoke, she bit her lips tightly.
For some reason, her nose felt sore too, as if tears were about to be secreted in her eyes.
It was just like long ago, when she was a little girl, hearing about the fall of an admired figure, she couldn't help but shed tears, eventually running back to her room, hiding under the covers and crying bitterly.
"Ah!!"
Qin Zi punched the stone next to him, his fist sinking into it, and asked through gritted teeth: "What can I do to make my father not suffer?"
The blonde woman pursed her lips, sighed: "Only by rescuing your mother, letting your dad and mom reunite."
"But… the thing your dad is powerless against, for you to achieve it, it's too difficult, harder than ascending to heaven."
"I am not afraid! I have a Divine Body, limitless potential, as long as I'm willing to give it my all, I can definitely do it!"
Qin Zi clenched his fist, as if fire was burning in his eyes.
The blonde woman remained silent for a while, then unconsciously avoided Qin Zi's gaze, saying: "Well, as your master… I believe in you!"
She sighed internally.
This child still doesn't know what kind of enemy he's facing, the things even that person couldn't do, how can the Divine Body achieve?
Can it really become a god?
However, no matter what, she will use all her might to teach him, allow him to become as strong as possible!
"Seems like it's time to use that method, but… that method is painful to cultivate, not sure if Xiao Zi can endure it."
