Jiang Xinyao was holding the jade pendant that had brought Qin Hao to her side, feeling sentimental, when suddenly, an electronic voice echoed from the pendant once again.
"Hmph! You didn't even tell me your real name! And you still expect a good rating? Wishful thinking!" Jiang Xinyao stomped her foot forcefully, her eyes full of anger. She swore she would definitely find Qin Hao again.
Standing there hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xinyao ultimately inputted her rating into the jade pendant.
......
At the same time, after a month of accumulation, Qin Hao's cultivation had long reached the critical point of breakthrough. The first thing he did upon returning to the Qin family was begin his breakthrough.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered from all directions at a visible speed, pressing heavily over Qin Hao's residence.
In the Qin family's forbidden grounds, Qin Wuya, sensing all this, flashed to Qin Hao's residence with a single thought.
"Little Hao lacks innate providence. His tribulation is far beyond a normal Soul Formation lightning tribulation. I have to keep an eye on him; I can't let him perish here."
Soon, the first bolt of heavenly lightning fell. The Purifying Extinction Divine Lightning crashed down with the dual auras of purification and destruction.
Facing this heavenly lightning that was enough to obliterate the soul of an ordinary Soul Formation cultivator, Qin Hao did not even bother to lift his eyelids.
"Innate Dao Body, Affinity with All Dharmas!"
With a thought, the origin Dao rhythm of the Innate Dao Body naturally radiated. When the mighty Purifying Extinction Divine Lightning came within ten feet of Qin Hao's body, it was like a soothed beast. Its violent aura rapidly weakened, and it instead separated out its incomparably pure "purification" power.
The first lightning tribulation was thus easily absorbed by Qin Hao like an appetizer before a meal.
The tribulation clouds seemed to pause for a moment, and then let out an even angrier roar.
The second and third bolts of heavenly lightning fell simultaneously.
"Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, All Thoughts Clear!"
Qin Hao activated the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, instantly seeing through the energy flow nodes of these two heavenly lightning bolts. Sitting cross-legged without moving an inch, he simply used his fingers as a sword and casually stabbed twice towards the sky.
The two terrifying lightning bolts collapsed on their own, turning into streams of nourishing energy that surged into Qin Hao's body.
Facing the fourth bolt, the Nirvana Burning Lightning, Qin Hao activated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body. Mobilizing its origin power, he forcefully guided, absorbed, and assimilated this Nirvana Burning Lightning.
As the fifth heavenly lightning fell, Qin Hao opened his eyes. The Dual Pupils activated; his left eye showed the rotation of the sun and moon, evolving the birth and death of yin and yang, while his right eye showed illusions of galaxies, seeing through the profound mysteries of the heavens.
The Five Elements Divine Lightning was forcefully analyzed, sorted, and evolved by Qin Hao.
The terrifying lightning tribulation was evolved back into relatively mild, pure heaven and earth energy and absorbed by Qin Hao.
The dark clouds in the sky were still brewing, but after brewing for a good while, no more tribulation lightning fell, and they eventually just dissipated.
"Burp~"
Qin Hao let out a burp and curled his lips, "What a rare cultivation resource. You should drop more lightning tribulations."
After breaking through to the Soul Formation realm, Qin Hao's aura underwent an earth-shaking change. The spiritual power in his body was as vast as the sea, surging endlessly. Moreover, when the spiritual power circulated, it carried an indescribable weight and majesty.
Qin Wuya's figure quietly appeared behind Qin Hao. Looking up and down at his son who "owed a debt of providence," his eyes were filled with gratification.
"Good boy! Well done. It seems I worried about you for nothing." Qin Wuya patted Qin Hao's shoulder, his admiring look seeming to say, truly worthy of being my son, having half of my demeanor from back in the day.
"To have such fortune, it wasn't in vain that I extracted your providence."
Qin Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and complained inwardly, "So, I should thank you then?"
Of course, Qin Hao only dared to say these words in his heart. He cupped his hands toward Qin Wuya. "Thank you for your nurturing, Father. By the way, Father, I want to know some information about Fairy Miejue. Does our Qin family have any ancient texts about her?"
Afterwards, Qin Hao had also tried to enter the Primordial Fortune Plundering Stele again to find Liu Ruyan. Unfortunately, except for the first time, all he saw later was an emotionless projection.
Hearing the words Fairy Miejue, Qin Wuya's expression visibly worsened:
"Why are you asking about her?"
Noticing that Qin Wuya's attitude was a bit off, Qin Hao quickly said, "I just want to know a bit about her."
Qin Wuya looked deeply at Qin Hao, then snorted coldly, "There's nothing to know. She's a dead person. Why do you want to know about her? She is an enemy of our Qin family!"
"Our Qin family's development has been much harder than any other Desolate Ancient Family. Why? The root cause is this Fairy Miejue. A dead person, yet she left fortuitous encounters everywhere, nurturing factions to suppress our Qin family."
Speaking up to here, Qin Wuya paused. "She isn't just targeting our Desolate Ancient Qin Family; anyone surnamed Qin is subjected to her suppression."
Hearing Qin Wuya's words, Qin Hao's mouth opened slightly, his eyes full of shock. Could it be because of me? Just because of me alone, she targets everyone surnamed Qin? How deep is this hatred and resentment?
"Is she really dead?" Qin Hao took out the jade hairpin from his robes, feeling an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
Seeing the hairpin in Qin Hao's hand, Qin Wuya's expression changed:
"Where did you get this hairpin?"
"I picked it up." After saying that, Qin Hao quickly put the hairpin away. Given his father's attitude toward Fairy Miejue, Qin Hao was afraid that Qin Wuya might shatter it with a single palm strike.
Qin Wuya looked at Qin Hao with a strange expression, then shook his head gently, thinking to himself:
"This lustful, reckless rascal, actually daring to randomly pick up things belonging to Miejue."
Qin Wuya glanced at Qin Hao, then took out dozens of Emperor-level divine abilities from his robes and tossed them in front of Qin Hao:
"Your combat methods are too monotonous, relying entirely on your physique. Cultivate these divine abilities well to improve your own foundation."
Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Father."
Seeing these divine abilities, Qin Hao immediately had an idea. Qingyue, Lingxi, and Xinyao all had an affection level for him of over ninety-five.
If they learned these divine abilities, he would also master them. Later, he would sort them out properly and send the suitable divine abilities to each of them. They just needed to cultivate diligently, and he could just lay back and reap the rewards.
"Alright, I won't waste your time anymore. Half a month from now is the birthday of our Qin family's First Ancestor. As the Emperor Son of the Qin family, you must perform well!"
At this point, the corners of Qin Wuya's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a playful look, "By the way, the Jiang family will also come. Son, you're not very honest."
"You already called off the engagement, yet you still went to provoke her. Provoking her is one thing, but you didn't even use your real name. In half a month, I'll see how you clean up this mess."
After speaking, Qin Wuya's figure vanished directly.
"Why does it sound like my cheap father is gloating a bit? How to clean up the mess? Meet soldiers with arms and water with earth. At worst, I'll just sacrifice a bit of my looks."
