Chapter 256 Let’s Just Call You Xiao Jin
In the palace, Emperor Xia was intently observing Qin Bei, who was sitting cross-legged.
At first, he merely sighed in awe of Qin Bei’s incredible luck in cultivation.
His cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm, yet his soul power was astonishingly strong.
He was definitely a child of fortune.
But when he sensed that Qin Bei seemed to have another subtle breakthrough, he was utterly perplexed.
Emperor Xia took a moment to carefully experience this feeling of soul breakthrough.
This wasn’t just an increase in soul power; rather, it was a qualitative enhancement of his soul.
The emergence of such a phenomenon left Emperor Xia utterly stunned.
Because a qualitative change in soul power is entirely different from a qualitative change in spiritual energy.
When it comes to spiritual energy, once there is a special cultivation body or after practicing a profound technique to a certain point, the strength of the spiritual energy can undergo a qualitative transformation.
But soul power is a whole different ball game.
It not only cannot be acquired through traditional cultivation, but it’s also impossible for it to undergo a qualitative change through mere cultivation.
The only time such a situation could arise is when one has reached the celestial realm.
Only after entering the immortal realm can the soul truly begin to break free from its mortal constraints and move toward the divine.
Yet here was Qin Bei, already starting something that generally only occurs when someone enters that realm, all while still in the Golden Core Realm.
This was a phenomenon he had never witnessed personally before, let alone heard of!
Emperor Xia now realized that, regardless of the realm, his rebellious son always seemed to provide him with unexpected surprises.
Of course, these surprises were often accompanied by their fair share of shocks.
“Eh~ What’s going on?”
Just as the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect and others were attentively watching, they suddenly noticed the image in front of them had vanished.
To be precise, the image regarding Qin Bei had disappeared.
But when they turned to look at Emperor Xia, everything became clear.
He didn’t want them to witness what came next.
For a moment, the Grand Elder and others began to speculate about what monumental event had transpired, leading Emperor Xia to banish them from watching.
…….
Inside the royal mausoleum.
Qin Zhengji looked at Qin Bei, his eyes sparkling with intrigue.
“There are quite a few secrets about him!”
Qin Zhengji muttered softly.
Not only could he be of help to me, but now there’s such an opportunity.
But in reality, Qin Bei’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm.
If he were to claim that Qin Bei had no major secrets, he simply wouldn’t buy it.
However, knowing it was a secret, Qin Zhengji chose not to pry further.
Just looking at Qin Bei, he had a feeling that the Great Xia royal family was on the verge of giving birth to a prodigy.
‘But just by looking at this kid’s personality, he obviously doesn’t take orders well. I wonder how he gets along with Wuhen.’
Qin Zhengji pondered.
From the moment he first met Qin Bei, he had often heard Qin Bei speak ill of Emperor Xia.
Their relationship was quite evident.
…….
“How did it go?”
As Qin Zhengji stepped out of the room, Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue asked in unison.
Qin Zhengji glanced at them and simply smiled: “Don’t worry, it’s a good thing.”
And so, another day passed.
Qin Bei had already been in this inner circle for six days.
On the sixth night, he finally woke from his cultivation.
As he opened his eyes, golden flames instantly erupted from his pupils.
However, they were quickly withdrawn by Qin Bei.
That brief flare was simply him losing control for an instant.
“Hehe~ Hehe~”
Just as Qin Bei stood up, a sudden peal of laughter echoed beside him.
Qin Bei flattened his right hand, and in the next moment, a golden little figure appeared in his palm.
This was the little person formed by his soul power.
Unlike the previous little figure, this one was golden.
Moreover, when looking at Qin Bei, its eyes were no longer empty; they sparkled with life.
It could even express its current mood with a simple smile.
“Eh~~”
Qin Bei gazed at the little figure in his palm. Although he knew it was a manifestation of his soul power,
he felt an odd sensation that this was a child he had somehow nurtured.
Considering that he was a grown man, the notion of having ‘conceived’ a child felt… bizarre.
“Forget it, I’ll just treat you as my child for now. From now on, your name shall be Xiao Jin!”
Qin Bei said while gently patting Xiao Jin’s chubby little cheeks.
“Hey~ The texture feels pretty nice, smooth and tender!”
As Qin Bei enjoyed the sensation, he found it even more pleasant than holding his wife’s hand.
This made him unable to resist petting Xiao Jin even more.
“Giggle~”
The ‘teased’ Xiao Jin responded with hearty giggles.
It was evident that, despite being teased, it was quite happy, chuckling nonstop.
