Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

After a long time.

The Sword Emperor told Qin Chuan everything he knew, including the many turning points in Lin Yi's life and the various extraordinary encounters he experienced.

"Alright! I'll take this thing!"

Qin Chuan nodded, tossed the Jade Pendant up, then casually caught it with his arm. With a mysterious smile, he said in a low voice, "This thing is indeed a hot potato for you. If you're not careful, the entire Dongsheng Divine Sect could face utter destruction. But I... I'm truly not afraid!"

The Sword Emperor's expression slightly changed, and he tentatively asked, "Could it be that you, um, know the true origin of this Jade Pendant?"

"Heh heh..."

Qin Chuan smiled enigmatically, not speaking, leaving the Sword Emperor to endless speculation.

Invisibly, Qin Chuan's image in the Sword Emperor's mind grew ever more grand—such an ancient powerhouse, truly unfathomable, with connections and knowledge that are unimaginable!

"Later on, I might test Lin Yi a bit. I hope the Dongsheng Divine Sect doesn't interfere," Qin Chuan said.

"I understand."

The Sword Emperor nodded with a wry smile. By now, he already understood Qin Chuan's fearsome power—how could he dare to intervene?

How could anyone afford to offend an ancient giant?

"Then let's head up."

After speaking, Qin Chuan returned to the sky where they had fought before, and the Sword Emperor followed him up.

"Dad, how did it go?"

Qin Zi came up and asked.

"We've talked it through, let's go." Qin Chuan replied with a smile, then put his arm around Qin Zi's shoulder and flew out.

"Qin... Senior, regarding the mistake Xiao Yu made this time, should we clarify it to the world?"

The Sword Emperor asked somewhat nervously.

"Senior?!"

The high-ranking members of the Dongsheng Divine Sect, including Emperor Yu, all widened their eyes in shock.

What's going on?

Even the Sword Emperor calls Qin Chuan 'Senior'! Who on earth is this Qin Chuan?

It's essential to know that someone at the Sword Emperor's level wouldn't joke lightly; if the Sword Emperor calls him 'Senior,' it must be true.

But... how is that possible?

In their hearts, it was like a thunderbolts on a clear day—a sudden fear and awe spreading in their minds.

"Clarify? Clarify what?"

Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It would be best if news of my visit to the Dongsheng Divine Sect does not get out."

"However, you can announce to the world... that Qin Zi made a grave mistake, unforgivable, and has been expelled from the sect by Emperor Yu."

"Senior, this is!"

Sweat trickled down the Sword Emperor's forehead.

He thought Qin Chuan was scaring him, like an emperor saying to a general, 'I don't want to sit on the throne; you come and sit for a bit.'

Enough to scare a general out of his wits!

"I'm not joking."

Qin Chuan said seriously, "In fact, I don't want the world to know how strong I am, nor do I want Qin Zi to have too powerful a supporter on the surface, because that would make him a flower in a greenhouse."

"A strong person fights their way up. My expectation for him is to cut through thorns and sweep everything across, until he reaches the peak!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered.

What great courage is this?

Others hope their descendants are not bullied, but he wishes for his son to be enemies with the world!

And this is precisely a show of great spirit.

It's the mark of one who is highly skilled and naturally brave.

"Xiao Zi, can you understand why Dad is doing this?" Qin Chuan asked, looking down at his affordable son by his side.

"Mm!!"

Qin Zi nodded heavily, his heart boiling with passion, even clenching his fists unconsciously.

Of course he can understand.

Dad is doing this painstakingly for him!

This kind of nurturing, though seemingly harsh, is also a great expectation and trust, isn't it?

Dad hopes he will sweep away all obstacles and believes he can do it. This... is the deepest tacit understanding between father and son!

"Mm, let's go."

Qin Chuan nodded with satisfaction, then put his arm around his affordable son's shoulder. The large and small figures left on the clouds.

While Emperor Yu slowly came to the Sword Emperor's side, following his master's gaze towards the ever-distant silhouettes.

"Master, who is he really?"

Emperor Yu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"A big man, an absolutely untouchable big man..." The Sword Emperor's aged face showed a trace of awe.

...

Qin Chuan and his son returned to Divine Radiance Mountain.

A few days later, news spread from Dongsheng Divine Sect: Qin Zi, in order to seize the True Dragon Bloodline to cultivate, stole and killed more than a dozen Dragon Fish. Enraged, Emperor Yu expelled Qin Zi from the sect, severing all ties of master and disciple from then on!

Moreover.

It also spread from Dongsheng Divine Sect that the Imperial Artifact remained with Qin Zi and Emperor Yu did not reclaim it. In this way, not only did it clear up the suspicion of an "open conspiracy," but it also fulfilled Qin Chuan's requirement.

What was Qin Chuan's requirement?

For Qin Zi to be an enemy to the world!

Thus, upon hearing this news, the powers of the Eastern Domain became excited, sharpening their blades against Xiaozhu.

"Hahaha, Qin Zi has been expelled by Emperor Yu, truly heaven-sent help for me!"

"Gagaga, I thought there was no chance before, but now, it seems the opportunity has returned."

"Amitabha, this humble monk misunderstood Emperor Yu before, how shameful... this Imperial Artifact is indeed destined with our Buddha."

"Hehe, I, the Green-Robed Ancestor, just emerged from seclusion and received such good news. Truly, my luck is excellent!"

These powerful old monsters hid in dark corners, smiling silently and expectantly.

And at the same time.

Within Divine Radiance Mountain, Qin Chuan slaughtered those dozen Dragon Fish, extracting the True Dragon Bloodline to refine Qin Zi's body.

Which deeply moved Qin Xiaozhu.

So many Dragon Fish, of immeasurable value, for his father to let him enjoy them alone, what selfless fatherly love this is!

He naturally didn't know.

He is his father's greatest asset.

Raising a pig, isn't it to raise it as fat as possible to make it valuable? How pitiful this little pig, eating feed so happily.

At night, with the moon bright and stars sparse.

Qin Zi was soaking in the Dragon Fish blood pool, while Qin Chuan entered the basement and set up a Barrier to block perception and sound.

Buzz!

With a thought, that mysterious Jade Pendant flew out, hovering in front of him, level with his chest.

"System, can you help me appraise this item?" Qin Chuan asked in his heart.

"Ding! Consuming 1 Lu Chong's paternity value, it can be appraised," the system replied.

"So expensive?!"

Qin Chuan was slightly startled. Such a high cost left him a bit uncomfortable.

"Ding! This item has a tremendous origin, making appraisal more difficult, hence the higher fee," the system said.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan felt a twinge of anticipation. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Consume 1 Lu Chong, appraise it!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

In the next moment, the Jade Pendant began to glow, the golden light pulsating like a beating heart, expanding, contracting, expanding...

"Screech—"

The golden Phoenix inside also let out an ethereal call, then spread its wings.

Whoosh!

Instantly, a Phoenix light figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a two-meter-long golden Phoenix, spiraling once in the secret chamber before returning to the Jade Pendant.

The light of the Jade Pendant disappeared.

The system's voice sounded:

"Ding! This item is not a product of this realm but comes from the legendary higher realm. Appraisal complete! For more detailed information, please consume 10 of Lu Chong's paternity value!"

"Indeed!!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan stood up abruptly, his eyes radiating brilliant light, his blood nearly boiling.

Higher realm!

It truly is the higher realm!

With this, the identity of the child's mother can be confirmed, right?!

He had previously told Qin Zi that his mother was a Holy Daughter of some Ancient Race in the higher realm, which was actually a lie he used to deceive the boy.

In reality, the boy's mother died during childbirth, something he remembers very clearly.

Back then, to craft his own identity as a strong person, and to give the boy a bit of hope for the future, he concocted this lie.

But a lie is ultimately a lie, unable to withstand the test of time, so he had been searching for a way to cover it up.

And today, he found it!!

"Just like a tree graft can be transferred, so can an identity. As long as I operate it correctly, Lin Yi's mother… isn't she Qin Zi's mother?"

At this moment, Qin Chuan's eyes sparkled with the light of wisdom.
