Chapter 268 The Son of the Mysterious God Chooses His Master
After a while, Qin Ziyu's injuries healed considerably thanks to the nourishment from the elixir and his own vital energy.

He looked sullen, as if he had been greatly affected.

"Um..." Duan Shulin wanted to ask something, but he swallowed the words back down, feeling that it was not appropriate to ask.

“When I was born, my family suffered a great tragedy. My pregnant mother was chased and killed, and was buried in the wilderness.” Qin Ziyu knew what Duan Shulin wanted to ask, and slowly said, “Two days later, my father found my mother’s body. He originally thought that we had died together, mother and child, but I survived while I was still in the womb, so they all called me Coffin Child.”

Chen Guan and Duan Shulin both fell silent; this was truly a tragic background.

Qin Ziyu's account was simple, but one can imagine how tragic the situation must have been.

"Actually, I don't have a deep understanding of these things because I didn't know anything at the time. I only heard about them from my father," Qin Ziyu said with a sigh.

"Is the Qin family disliked you because of this?" Duan Shulin said angrily.

“That’s not entirely true. The main reason the Qin family didn’t like me was because they didn’t approve of my father and mother being together. My father was willing to leave the Qin family, but in the end, he was with my mother.” After Qin Ziyu finished speaking, he looked down the mountain in the direction Qin Qiu had left and said, “The main family didn’t expel my father and me. I can still go back and challenge the Qin King’s Formation. That’s the true coming-of-age ceremony for the Qin family’s children. I used to think it was unnecessary to go again, but now I want to challenge the Qin King’s Formation. Not for any other reason than that I can’t let my mother die and still be looked down upon.”

“We should go,” Chen Guan nodded, then asked, “What is that Qin King’s Formation?”

"The Qin King Formation is a test set up by King Qin, only for Qin family members who have reached the third level of enlightenment. Others enter the secret realm at the age of eighteen to be considered adults, but the Qin family members need to pass through the Qin King Formation to be considered truly adults, truly become a member of the family, and have the qualifications to be listed as a separate household..." Qin Ziyu explained.

The Qin King Formation is formed by three thousand three-awakened spirits. After training, these spirits become even more terrifying than battle formations composed of humans. Only when the Qin family members break through the Qin King Spirit Battle Formation with their own abilities can they be considered qualified to establish their own sect.

Therefore, none of the direct descendants of the Qin family who were able to break through the Qin King's Formation, like Qin Qiu, were easy to deal with; at the very least, they were all monsters who had broken through the Qin King's Formation.

Qin Qiu said that Qin Ziyu was not worthy of fighting him because Qin Ziyu had not even broken through the Qin King's Formation, so he was even less qualified to fight him.

"The third awakening takes time," Chen Guan sighed.

He also wanted to reach the third awakening as soon as possible, but the leveling up was too slow. At this rate, it would take three to five years before he could reach level 20.

This is still a relatively optimistic estimate. In reality, it is definitely more difficult than this. In the later stages, the amount of vital energy required for the first secret technique can be described as enormous.

But absorbing so much vital energy, who knows when that will be?

Qin Ziyu's Purple and Green Two Qi Profound Technique is not easy to practice either. It levels up quickly at the beginning, but it becomes increasingly difficult later on. However, compared to the First Secret Technique, it is much easier.

The three of them didn't say anything more. Once Qin Ziyu had recovered enough, they rode their mounts down the mountain.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we met many people who had completed the third challenge and were coming down the mountain.

Duan Shulin went to inquire about it, and when he returned, his face was full of strange expressions.

"What's wrong?" Chen Guan asked.

“I heard them say that the chosen one by the Son of the Mysterious God is Wang Lian,” Duan Shulin said.

"Wang Lian?" Chen Guan was somewhat taken aback. When he saw Wang Lian earlier, he noticed that she hadn't shown off in front of him, so he assumed that Wang Lian hadn't gained the approval of the Son of the Mysterious God. He never expected it to be her.

Moreover, Wang Lian is a member of the Wang family, so the Heavenly King shouldn't have allowed his secret god to choose Wang Lian.

"No wonder Wang Lian and Qin Qiu took a detour; they were afraid of being ambushed." Chen Guan thought to himself, but then felt something was off.

In fact, the Qin family and the Wang family have a deep-seated feud. King Qin claims to be of imperial lineage, while the Wang family are descendants of a royal family whose kingdom was destroyed by the imperial ancestor.

This is a long-standing feud, so it's strange that Wang Lian is wary of others but not of Qin Qiu.

"What exactly is Wang Lian up to?" After meeting Qin Qiu, Chen Guan knew that Qin Qiu was not an easy person to get along with. His relationship with Wang Lian was definitely not just about lust.

Wang Lian was in an extremely good mood. She hadn't expected that she would gain the approval of the Son of the Mysterious God so easily.

Among so many outstanding talents, the Son of the Mysterious God actually chose her, and Wang Lian couldn't help but marvel at the power of the secret technique left behind by the Emperor Ancestor.

Wang Lian suddenly realized that she suddenly seemed to have everything.

She completed the "Afang Sutra" herself, so she no longer needed to ask Chen Guan for the remaining part.

Now that she even has the Child of the Mysterious God, as long as the issue of the Child of the Mysterious God's special status is resolved, she will surely be highly valued by the family in the future because of the Child of the Mysterious God.

However, resolving the special condition of the Child of the Mysterious God is not so simple. Her own talent and abilities can only temporarily prevent the Child of the Mysterious God's condition from worsening.

Therefore, when Qin Qiu offered to help her solve the problem of the Son of the Mysterious God, Wang Lian did not immediately refuse.

She was well aware that Qin Qiu definitely wanted to take the Child of the Mysterious God, but she had other plans. It wouldn't be so easy for Qin Qiu to snatch the Child of the Mysterious God from her.

Everyone else only knew that the Son of the Mysterious God was trapped in a special state and was on the verge of death, so it was of no use to him.

Little did they know that although the Son of the Mysterious God was nearing the end of his life, he possessed an extremely powerful ability, enough for Wang Lian to protect himself and escape.

As long as it's not the Qin family's exclusive secret realm, no matter what ulterior motives Qin Qiu may have, Wang Lian is confident that she can make Qin Qiu lose both his money and his life.

Purple Robe and Lonely Mountain stood in front of the mountain gate, looking at the deserted square, their expressions different.

“She’s too willful. I still think she should choose Chen Guan. Only Chen Guan’s good fortune can truly help her change her special fate of being a beautiful woman with a tragic destiny,” Gu Shan said.

“She does want to choose, but she needs the opportunity. Chen Guan just turned around and left without a word, how is she supposed to choose?” the purple-robed man said.

"Didn't she say herself that the other person wasn't suitable?" Gu Shan asked with a strange expression.

“How can you take a woman’s words seriously…and the words of a female spirit are the same…he should be more patient…how can a man be so petty…” the purple-robed man said, pursing his lips.

Gu Shan was speechless. He wisely shut his mouth. Thousands of years of experience had taught him never to reason with a woman.

"It's all good now. She chose Wang Lian, and Wang Lian's luck is also excellent." The purple-robed man said thoughtfully, "Moreover, the cultivation method that Wang Lian practices is very special, and the alien energy it forms has a very good auxiliary effect on her body, which has already alleviated her physical symptoms. This choice is no worse than Chen Guan's. There will be times when Chen Guan regrets it later."

Gu Shan disagreed. The idea that beautiful women are destined for tragedy is not something that can be solved by just anyone with strong luck. As for Wang Lian's unique energy being able to alleviate the physical problems of the Child of the Secret God, Gu Shan felt that alleviating the problem was not the solution.

Painkillers can relieve pain, but they cannot truly cure illness. Gu Shan felt that the future of Wang Lian and the son of the Mysterious God was not optimistic.

The purple-robed man, however, seemed unconcerned, optimistically saying, "Don't worry, after all, she is the master of ten thousand soldiers. If Wang Lian cannot protect her, it won't be difficult for her to sever ties and find a new host."

Gu Shan thought to himself, "To be able to talk about betraying one's master and selling out one's master in such a grand and respectable way, this woman is definitely not a good person."
