Ancient Ancestral Emperor

Under the huge suction, Qin Shaojie's soul was forcibly pulled out of his body, and was immediately absorbed by the hole in the jade.    

This kind of situation also shook Qin Shaojie's heart and body. It was a pity that the development of the matter had already surpassed Qin Shaojie's imagination, and when he wanted to resist, he discovered that he was already powerless against it.    

In this state, he could only sigh and let this suction pull his soul into a space that he did not know about.    

Where … where is this place?    

It did not take long for his soul to be pulled out of his body, and in just a few breaths of time, Qin Shaojie once again appeared in a space. This space did not seem to be very large, only a few hundred feet wide.    

The entire space was filled with astonishing profound energy and vitality. This kind of situation was not the least bit weaker than the rich state Qin Shaojie had come into contact with back then on the Bodhi tree. However, this space was not like the usual space. There were no vegetation on the land and the air was dry, causing one's soul to feel a little uncomfortable.    

The most important thing was that the floating clouds in the space had let out traces of a faint red color. This color was like thin blood, and Qin Shaojie seemed to be able to smell a trace of the bloody stench from within, causing him to be unable to help but frown.    

This place must be the so-called space within the Life Vein Spirit Plate, because Qin Shaojie was too sensitive to the smell of blood, it was simply his own blood flowing around him.    

He surveyed his surroundings, but other than that, he didn't discover anything else. However, this space, which was only several hundred zhang in size, was completely self-contained. There were all kinds of clouds in the sky and earth.    

As his soul drifted about in this space, Qin Shaojie actually wasn't in a hurry anymore, because even though it was rather monotonous here, it seemed to be without danger. Instead, it was his own soul that appeared here and received a certain amount of nourishment.    

Nurturing the divine soul was not an easy task for martial practitioners. Back then, if it wasn't for some fortuitous encounters, it would be almost impossible for Qin Shaojie to raise his spiritual sense to this level. Perhaps it would take tens or even hundreds of years before he could reach the height he had today.    

If he could make up for his soul fragments by using the power of the soul inside, it would be a good method.    

You finally came.    

However, just as Qin Shaojie was about to meditate and cultivate his soul force, a slight ripple suddenly appeared in this space, and a low and deep voice also slowly appeared. The voice's appearance made Qin Shaojie's entire body shiver, and then, he suddenly raised his head, and not far in front of him, a blurry figure was slowly walking towards him.    

The appearance of this voice caused Qin Shaojie's heart to involuntarily beat faster. He knew very clearly that this voice was definitely not an illusion and upon seeing it, his breathing immediately quickened as well.    

Who are you?    

He tried his best to keep his expression unchanged. Under his grave expression, Qin Shaojie let out a stern shout. He stared at the figure that was taking shape in front of him. When this figure gradually turned into the appearance of a middle-aged man, Qin Shaojie finally sensed the extremely powerful energy within this protective collar that was similar to his own.    

It was as if he had understood the entire world, as if he had broken free from the restraints of the great dao. Even though he was only lightly standing in front of Qin Shaojie, he gave off a feeling that he was as steady as a mountain. The most important thing was that although his soul clearly did not have the slightest movement, Qin Shaojie was able to sense that his own soul had clearly fluctuated.    

Right now, his soul force was already comparable to life and death realm, so even ordinary dead Profound Realm did not dare to underestimate him. But from Qin Shaojie's experience, the enemy's soul force should be at least a level higher than his, or even two levels!    

This soul power was of no threat to him. In fact, he even opened his mouth at the beginning as if he had been waiting for a long time. It was as if his words revealed a hint of gratification. But Qin Shaojie's eyes were still staring straight at the other party. The spirit body did not seem to be in a saturated state, because even though he could see the tall and sturdy body, his facial features were extremely blurry, and even the change in expression could not be detected.    

There are only two possibilities for you to enter this place. Either you are my original body, or you are the direct descendant of my bloodline.    

He did not directly answer Qin Shaojie's question, only that the sentence that seemed to come out at a turn caused Qin Shaojie's body to stagger, and made him forcefully take a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the wild fluctuations in his heart. Previously, Shi Zhen's words had caused a huge ripple in Qin Shaojie's heart, but now that he had heard the other party's words, Qin Shaojie's eyes flashed, could it be that this person was truly his father who was taken advantage of?    

This is the first time I've seen this Life Vein Spirit Plate. It's also the first time I've heard about you being my cheap father. But this person isn't unreasonable. Since you said you're my father, then you can answer a few of my questions.    

His eyes turned and Qin Shaojie's voice sounded a little dull. He was indeed a little complicated in his heart, but this complexity had been forcefully suppressed by him and his soul had merged with the memories and emotions of this body. But at the same time, he also possessed the domineering aura of his previous life and remained calm in the face of danger. He didn't mind having an extra father. After all, if it wasn't for the relationship between his parents, it would be impossible for him to be a son. However, Qin Shaojie was naturally unable to do anything about how the father and son duo would cry and act as though they had parted ways for a long time.    

The other spirit body was also stunned. It was obvious that it had never expected such a situation to occur. However, it soon smiled and nodded.    

I haven't seen you since I was born until I was eighteen. So I can tell you this, my name is Qin Shaojie, mother is from Tiangyou City's Qin family, Qin Fei. I'm just cultivating now, but I've suffered a lot in the past, of course, and these suffering isn't to get any benefits from you or to make you feel any guilt, it's just that I was in a very bad situation in the past, but I can rely on myself, so, if you're my cheap dad, then you wouldn't have done anything else besides giving birth to me, so don't expect me to repay you for something like that. That's roughly my situation. Now you can begin.    

Qin Shaojie stretched his arms and sat on the ground with a relaxed expression, as if he was just chatting with a stranger.    

Even though he could not see the other party's face clearly, Qin Shaojie could still feel a complicated feeling of helplessness and sadness coming from his five senses. But so what? What Qin Shaojie said was all true, and he didn't really wish for it to really have too much to do with this cheap old man. If not for the obsession that had been buried deep within his heart for nearly 20 years, it would even be rare for him to spout nonsense here.    

Where are you, mother, Qin Fei?    

After a long while, the figure also slowly approached Qin Shaojie and asked with a deep voice. It was just that after being questioned like this, Qin Shaojie shook his head. It was clear that he was not willing to talk more about the matter between him and the Tiangyou City's Qin family. From the moment he had mentioned his mother's name, he had felt a slight change in her mood. As a soul form that was much stronger than his own, he actually felt his soul tremble. He was afraid that this person was really his father.    

Furthermore, since the bloodline father and son duo had entered this place and seen each other's soul bodies, he was very clear that this person must be his own bloodline father. This feeling could not be faked. Therefore, he was more concerned about this so-called kinship but at the same time, he was also opposed to it. Furthermore, in Qin Shaojie's opinion, this so-called cheap father was merely a disorderly, abandoned person.    

Haha, eighteen years. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it would be eighteen years. My descendant Ding Nuo is already so old, and from the looks of it, he is very promising.    

Seeing that Qin Shaojie was unwilling to say more, the spirit body trembled a little, but then laughed out loud. When Qin Shaojie had appeared here, he had already felt that Qin Shaojie's soul force was extremely powerful. To be able to temper his soul force to such an extent at the age of eighteen, he would not even be able to hold back compared to his own strength back then. From Qin Shaojie's short conversation, he could tell that Qin Shaojie was still young and had led a rather complicated life. Qin Shaojie did not have much time left to talk, but he could clearly sense that Qin Shaojie had probably had a good life ahead of him.    

Just think about it. When a mother was unmarried and pregnant, and grew up without a father, she would naturally suffer all sorts of bullying. All of this was his fault.    

Ding Nuo?    

He did not expect this cheap dad to have the surname Ding. This surname was a very rare surname in the entire Tian Yuan Continent. However, Qin Shaojie still only had any change in his emotions, and even had his eyes closed slightly. No one could clearly see what he was thinking about at this moment.    

But what you said is correct. As a father, I was indeed incompetent. Back then, I made things difficult for your mother, and even more so for you. When he said till here, Ding Nuo's voice also became slightly deeper. Eighteen years, eighteen years had passed. I had initially said that I would return to the Tiangyou City, but unfortunately, I still broke my promise in the end.    

Back then, he was all alone, and while being heavily injured, he had met the Tiangyou City's Qin Clan's Qin Fei. Fortunately, Qin Fei took care of him, so he managed to survive. Then, being attracted by Qin Fei's kindness and purity, the two of them secretly had feelings for each other and ended up having a relationship on impulse. And this time, the relationship between them had Qin Shaojie.    

This was a joyous occasion, although the Qin family was initially a thousand times unwilling, but when their own injuries recovered and they released powerful auras and undulations, the Qin family had tacitly allowed the matter between the two of them. After all, Ding Nuo was not only in the Tiangyou City at that time, even within the so-called three great sect Nine Domains s, he was truly a monstrous genius!    

He thought that he would be able to live his life in seclusion in Tiangyou City, but unfortunately, things did not turn out as he wished. His traces were still discovered, and in order to not implicate the Qin family, and also to protect Qin Fei and the unborn child, Ding Nuo had no choice but to leave.    

And before he left, he even left this Life Vein Spirit Plate with Qin Fei, telling her that he would definitely return and find it.    

However, he hadn't expected that he would be gone for eighteen years!    

's words finally made a disdainful smile appear on his face. The matter was not complicated, but did he not know how difficult it was to allow a girl to bring a child with him? Since he had stayed in the Qin family for a period of time, could it be that he did not know the dangers of his birth mother? Since he said he had feelings for his mother, could it be that other than the Life Vein Spirit Plate, there was no other backup for protecting his mother and him at the critical moment?    

He didn't even have these?!    

Therefore, after not returning for eighteen years, do you still plan to return?    

Both of his hands cupped a fist, and Qin Shaojie's eyes suddenly opened as well. However, there was an additional trace of contempt in his eyes, and as he asked the question in a low voice, Ding Nuo's soul also trembled a little.    

That's right, was he still planning to go back?
