“Why can’t I know?” Wei Wushuang smiled and patted Lin Qian’s shoulder. “Rascal, you may be powerful, but the ancient ruins are not so easy as they seem. Before that, you need to break through.”
After he finished speaking, Wei Wushuang stood up and walked towards his own house with his hands on his back.
After receiving the potion gifted by Lin Qian, Wei Wushuang acted as if he had won the lottery. Every day, he would engage in cultivation, maximising the aid of the potion.
After Wu Weishuang’s departure, Lin Qian remained sitting in the yard, thinking silently, “I wonder, how is Xin’er now? Did she get more beautiful?”
After some time, Lin Qian also stood up and walked into his house.
Wei Wushuang was right, he really needed to be well prepared to challenge the ancient ruins.
The ancient Ruins, it was the most significant relic discovered in Linhai Province. Now, they were also the place where the disciples from various Sects were placed in testing.
Despite the long years, the ruins were still protected by overwhelmingly powerful Spiritual Arrays. Only Practitioners under the age of 26 could enter the ruins. One they were inside, a series of tests and obstacles awaited them.
According to the years of research by the major Sects, the laws governing the ancient ruins had been thoroughly studied.
Every three years, the test in the ancient ruins would reopen. Once a practitioner successfully cleared it, he would be rewarded.
For every three years, a maximum of forty-eight candidates could attend the trials. Correspondingly, there were precisely six places for each Sect.
Not only were the Ancient Ruins a great place to train their disciples, but it was also a once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain priceless treasure as rewards. For this reason, the quota was highly sought after. Within each Sect, only the top six disciples within the Inner Sect were offered this chance.
The opportunity Lei Qian had was bought over from the No. 6 disciple. Lei Heng had bombed an extravagant sum to purchase it. While Hei Heng may be a grand elder, he was prohibited from using his authority to rob the disciple of his fair chance.
When Lin Qian heard of the Ancient Ruins, he had long set his eyes on setting foot within it. Now, his dreams had come true. He was fortunate enough to gain the chance from Lei Qian.
Indeed, Lin Qian had experience in exploring the ruins near Mt Bai City that his Father had cleared. While it was not a small dungeon, it was still negligible in comparison with the Ancient Ruins. From the observations, the previous dungeon seemed to have been a storage area. There, he found countless treasures, Pills, a Vitality Equipment Core and some Soul Weapons. All of these treasures had long been sent to the Huaxia Empire for Zhuge Ming’s research use.
The Vitality Equipment Core and Pieces which Lin Qian used in the Death Battle were the result of research by the Tiangong Ministry.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, an electronic beep sounded in Lin Qian’s mind.
A message box appeared in front of Lin Qian. Sweeping across the contents, Lin Qian’s heart skipped a beat.
“Return!” As Lin Qian’s words sounded, a white glow engulfed his body. Moments later, he had vanished from the spot, and a puppet quickly replaced him as he returned to the Huaxia Empire.
At the same time, the Universal Phenomenon Sect was in a gigantic purple mansion built on Thunder King Peak. This mansion was home to Lei Heng and his family.
The mansion was huge, sprawling over a vast area of the mountain. Within the back courtyard, the sound of maniac smashes and cracks resounded unceasingly.
In the room, a young man with a crew cut wrapped in bandages had gone berserk. Continually, he smashed everything that landed in his sight.
On his side, the two maids lowered their heads as they trembled, fearing to meet with the crazed youngster’s sight.
“Why?! How did everything end so simply! I have been injured to the point of permanent disability! How can Grandpa just let this slide?” Lei Kun roared furiously, his face sullen as his teeth gritted menacingly. “What a useless swine is Lei Gan! He can’t even defeat a Materialised Vitality scum.he should just go and die!”
“ARGH! I’m so pissed!!!”
The next day.
“What? Your brother is missing? Did he really run away?” A surprised voice echoed. In the courtyard atop of Mt Maoqing, Lin Qian’s eyes widened as he looked at Lei Qian.
This time, Lei Qian was clad in a purple robe. While his face was still the same as before, with a tint of arrogance, but compared with the past, he had toned down by miles.
“Yes, when Grandfather returned yesterday, he informed Lei Kun about your conditions, and reprimanded him severely.” Lei Qian said, shaking his head gently, “Who would have thought that Lei Kun would disappear the next day. When I asked the Security Disciples, they said he left the Sect.”
Lin Qian couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “Your brother is fascinating! I can’t believe he ran away from home.”
“My brother was disabled by you! Now, he ran out of Universal Phenomenon Sect, injured and disabled. His life and death are unknown, and you are still laughing?!” Lei Qian glared at Lin Qian, some anger fuming in his pupils, “You are such a stone-hearted man.”
“Hmph, your brother got what he deserves. So what if he is handicapped? With his vile personality, he might cause even bigger troubles in the future.” Lin Qian snorted coldly. “I would rather become a commoner, living safely and peacefully for the rest of his life.”
Lei Qian sighed when he heard what Lin Qian said. Deep down, he knew, Lin Qian was right. His brother, Lei Kun, did have it coming to him.
“To be honest, you may be as arrogant and obstinate as that old man Lei Heng. But, you do not cause harm or cause unforgivable crimes, just pompous and likes to show off. How did you brother, Lei Kun, become such a jerk? I have checked him out. The crimes and outrageous things he had done are more than my fingers can count. ”
“He’s not my father’s biological son.” Lei Qian paused and said.
“What? No way. Then who is he? The son of that old man Wang from next door?” Lin Qian laughed. Raising his teacup in front of him, and he cooled it down as he blew gently.
Lei Qian’s face froze. Looking at Lin Qian, his face was flushed with shock, “How did you know that my brother’s biological father is of the surname Wang?”
“PFFT!”
The tea that Lin Qian had yet to swallow burst out like a fountain at Lei Qian.
Fortunately, Lei Qian responded quickly, and sidestepped out of the trajectory, avoiding the miserable fate of having his face sprayed.
“Sorry, I was mourning for your father.” Looking, Lin Qian found a befuddled expression on Lei Qian. Wiping the tea from his mouth and he coughed twice awkwardly.
Of course, Lei Qiang didn’t know who this old man Wang from next door was. Even then, his face was ridden in sorrow as he spoke, “At that time, the conflict between Victorious Heaven Sect and Universal Phenomenon Sect was at its peak. Within the battles,, Father and Mother were sacrificed. To protect my Grandfather, Uncle Wang too gave his life.”
“As Uncle Wang gave his life in exchange, Grandfather felt indebted and pampered Lei Kun so much. Alas, who knew that it would result in this.”
After listening to Lei Qian, Lin Qian had filled his teacup again. He stood up and walked to the other side: “I see. With your grandfather’s cultivation, even if Lei Kun left Universal Phenomenon Sect today, I believe it’s child’s play for him to locate Lei Kun.”
“That’s the weird thing. Grandfather cannot locate Lei Kun. He has searched hundreds of miles around the Sect but to no avail. With Lei Kun’s condition, he can’t walk any further than this range.”
Deep ridges formed on Lin Qian’s forehead. If what Lei Qian said was true, then this matter was indeed peculiar.
After a while, something odd struck Lin Qian, “I almost killed you yesterday, and yet today, you came to talk to me about your familial issues. Aren’t you slightly too gracious?.”
“No, I’m here today for another reason.”
“Oh? What else? Still want to fight with me?” Lin Qian laughed, taking a sip of tea.
Lei Qian cupped his fist to Lin Qian and said earnestly: “I recognise you, the Young Emperor as the boss. I wish to follow you and cultivate by your side.”
PFFT!
Tea rocketed out of Lin Qian’s mouth, spraying Lei Qian in his face as soon as he finished talking.
“I’m really starting to doubt if you put your brains between the door and the door frame every time you left home. Do you crush it every day? There must be something wrong with your head. You do realise that I almost killed you yesterday, but now, you come and declare me as your boss just a day after?”
