Back Mountain.
All the Qin Family ancestors had practically climbed out of their coffins and gathered around Qin Jiang, poking here and squeezing there.
“It really is dual divine bodies.”
“This shouldn’t be possible. We already gave Jiang’er a full examination before. Back then, he only had the Immaculate Divine Body. How did another one appear?”
“Heh, no matter what, this is a good thing.”
“Dual divine bodies. This is the first time since the creation of heaven and earth.”
Everyone’s eyes were shining.
Even Qin Jiang started to feel his scalp go numb.
“Jiang’er, what ability does your newly awakened divine body have?” Great-grandfather asked curiously.
The other ancestors also looked at Qin Jiang. Once they understood its effects and observed him for a while longer, they would be able to confirm exactly what divine body it was and then formulate the best cultivation plan for him.
Qin Jiang smiled faintly and said, “The divine body I awakened is a perfect match with the Immaculate Divine Body!”
“Oh? You already know what kind it is?” everyone asked.
Qin Jiang nodded. He didn’t hide anything and spoke directly, “Gluttonous Divine Body. It specializes in devouring. It can swallow heaven and earth!”
“Gluttonous Divine Body…”
The ancestors murmured to themselves, and the effects of the Gluttonous Divine Body immediately surfaced in their minds.
They exchanged looks and all saw uncontrollable joy in each other’s eyes.
“Devouring paired with Immaculate. Hahahaha, truly a perfect match!”
“So it’s the Gluttonous Divine Body.”
“The Gluttonous Divine Body and Immaculate Divine Body complement each other. Together, they cover each other’s flaws.”
“Hahaha, our Jiang’er has the bearing of an Emperor!”
The ancestors were overjoyed.
But that last sentence made Qin Jiang wipe cold sweat. That kind of talk was taboo.
After the excitement faded, the ancestors’ expressions turned serious.
“Jiang’er, the matter of your Gluttonous Divine Body must absolutely not be exposed!” one ancestor said.
As he spoke, he looked toward Qin Jiang’s ring, his gaze turning sharp.
Some Ancient Clans already knew about Qin Jiang’s Immaculate Divine Body. And since the appearance of a single divine body could enhance the Qin Family’s influence, they hadn’t deliberately concealed it.
But if it became known that one person possessed two divine bodies, and ones that perfectly complemented each other, the other Ancient Clans would definitely not sit still.
As soon as his words fell, that ancestor pointed with his finger. Qin Jiang’s ring shattered instantly, and the Fire Clan woman fell out.
Seeing her, none of the ancestors looked surprised. Their gazes were extremely cold.
Clearly, they had long sensed her presence.
The Fire Clan woman’s expression was ugly. She had thought Qin Jiang’s newly awakened divine body was the one he mentioned inside the secret chamber. She never expected he actually possessed another one.
Dual divine bodies.
This secret was far too terrifying.
If it spread, the entire Profound Sky Continent would be shaken.
She glanced around with a bitter expression. Facing these ancestors, even if she were at full strength, she would still only be waiting for death.
“Someone from the Fire Clan?” the ancestors narrowed their eyes.
They looked at Qin Jiang, asking about her origins.
Qin Jiang shrugged. “I grabbed her. Before entering seclusion, I went out once and brought two people back. One is her. The other is the Ye Family’s little princess.”
Ancestors: “…”
“You already knew she was hiding there?” an ancestor asked.
They had thought Qin Jiang didn’t know someone was concealed inside the ring.
Hearing this, Qin Jiang nodded. “Yeah. I was even planning to have her give me children, help our Qin Family continue the bloodline, hehe…”
At that, the ancestors’ mouths twitched. Children? Continuing the bloodline?
For a moment, they didn’t know whether they should make a move.
Originally, their intention was to eliminate all unstable factors.
But if she could help pass on the bloodline…
That could be negotiated.
Qin Jiang’s dual divine body bloodline was too precious to waste. Ideally, he should have a whole bunch of children. Even if they didn’t inherit divine bodies, their talent wouldn’t be bad.
“Jiang’er, are you capable?” Great-grandfather suddenly asked.
Qin Jiang: “???”
He stared wide-eyed at Great-grandfather. Old man, what do you mean by that?
“Ahem. What I mean is, this woman’s strength is decent. Once her body is restored, she should be at Saint Realm. Can you handle her?” Great-grandfather coughed dryly, realizing the ambiguity.
Hearing this, Qin Jiang curled his lips, glanced at the Fire Clan woman, and nodded. “From the surface, I should be able to handle her. As for the rest, that’ll require deeper understanding.”
Great-grandfather: “???” New chapters come out on g.com first.
Why did that sound strange?
The ancestors pondered briefly, then said, “Forget it. A Saint is nothing. She can’t stir up any major trouble.”
As he spoke, one ancestor took out a piece of white jade. Power surged in his palm, and soon the jade transformed into a ring.
He tossed the ring to Qin Jiang, then looked at the woman. “This is a Soul-Nourishing Stone. You’ll stay inside this from now on. It’s better than your previous ring.”
The woman hesitated slightly, then nodded. “Thank you.”
After speaking, she entered the ring.
With that small episode resolved, the ancestors’ attention returned to Qin Jiang.
“Jiang’er’s guards should be replaced.”
“Whether the guards change doesn’t matter. One of us should personally protect Jiang’er.”
The one who spoke was the Qin Family’s highest-ranking ancestor, First Ancestor Qin.
In the entire Qin Family, only three others remained of the same generation.
Only when Qin Jiang was born had they been disturbed before. Qin Jiang hadn’t expected them to appear again this time.
“Big brother, I’ll go,” said a thin, withered old man beside him, Qin Second Ancestor.
First Ancestor glanced at him and shook his head. “Not safe enough. Let Fourth go.”
Second Ancestor: “…”
Qin Jiang looked toward Fourth Ancestor. Compared to the other three, Fourth Ancestor appeared middle-aged, always holding a folding fan, smiling gently.
He looked like an ordinary scholar.
Hearing First Ancestor’s words, Fourth Ancestor smiled and nodded. “Alright. This little fellow suits my taste.”
Qin Jiang blinked. He didn’t really mind. He had no choice anyway.
Besides, all four ancestors were peak-level existences. Across the entire Profound Sky Continent, there were only a handful qualified to stand against them.
“Little fellow, come with this ancestor,” Fourth Ancestor beckoned, then directly took Qin Jiang away from Back Mountain.
As for the other ancestors, they remained behind to discuss matters. Aside from ensuring Qin Jiang’s safety, they also needed to plan how to nurture him.
In their hearts, Qin Jiang already had absolute qualifications to challenge the Emperor Realm.
And now, the entire Profound Sky Continent had no Emperor-level expert. If Qin Jiang succeeded, the Qin Family would become the undisputed number one Ancient Clan!
Every ancestor’s eyes were filled with excitement.
At this moment, Qin Jiang became the most important existence in the Qin Family.
