Qin Ziyu took a while, and under the nourishment of elixir and his own Primordial Energy, his injuries healed quite a bit.

He looked gloomy, seemingly very affected.

"That..." Duan Shulin wanted to ask something, but the words stuck in his throat, feeling it was inappropriate.

"When I was born, my family faced a huge upheaval. My mother, who was pregnant with me, was killed while being pursued and was carelessly buried in the wild." Qin Ziyu knew what Duan Shulin wanted to ask and slowly said, "Two days later, my father found my mother's body. He thought we were both dead, but unexpectedly, I survived in the womb, so they called me 'Coffin Child.'"

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

Qin Ziyu spoke simply, but one could imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

"Actually, I don't feel much about it because I didn't know anything back then; this is all my father told me." Qin Ziyu sighed.

"So, the Qin Family doesn't accept you because of this?" Duan Shulin said with some anger.

"Not really, the main reason why the Qin Family doesn't accept me is that the family opposed my father and mother being together at that time. My father would rather leave the Qin Family to be with my mother." After saying that, Qin Ziyu looked toward the direction where Qin Qiu left from the mountain and said, "The family hasn't removed us from the genealogy; I can still go to challenge the Qin King Array. It is the real coming-of-age ceremony for the Qin Family's juniors. I used to think there was no need to go, but now I want to challenge the Qin King Array, if for no other reason than to ensure my mother is not looked down upon even in death."

"You should go." Chen Guan nodded and then asked, "What is the Qin King Array?"

"The Qin King Array is a test set by the King of Qin, only for the Qin Family members with the Third Awakening. While others are considered adults at eighteen when entering the Secret Realm, the Qin Family children need to pass the Qin King Array to be considered truly adult and truly part of the family, with the qualification to establish a separate household…" Qin Ziyu explained.

The Qin King Array is composed of three thousand Third Awakening Secret Spirits, and through training, those Secret Spirits are more terrifying than battle arrays formed by humans. The Qin Family juniors need to break through the Qin King Secret Spirit Battle Array on their own to be qualified to establish a separate household.

So, like Qin Qiu, the direct descendants of the Qin Family who can pass the Qin King Array are not to be trifled with; at the very least, they are monsters who have broken through the Qin King Array.

The reason Qin Qiu said Qin Ziyu is unworthy to fight him is precisely because Qin Ziyu hasn't even passed the Qin King Array, making him even less qualified to fight him.

"Third Awakening, it takes time." Chen Guan sighed.

He also wanted to reach the Third Awakening quickly, but the level progression was too slow; at this rate, it would take at least three to five years to reach level 20.

This is still an optimistic estimate; in reality, it would be even more difficult. In the later stages, the Primordial Energy required for the Secret Technique of One is truly immense.

Just absorbing that much Primordial Energy, who knows how long it would take.

Qin Ziyu's Purple and Cyan Qi Profound Skill is also hard to train, it advances quickly at first, but later it becomes increasingly difficult. However, compared to the Secret Technique of One, the difficulty is much lower.

The three didn't say much more, and once Qin Ziyu was more or less recovered, they rode their mounts down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, they encountered many people who had completed the third challenge and were leaving.

Duan Shulin went to inquire and returned with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Guan asked.

"I heard them say, the person chosen by the Secret God's Child is Wang Lian." Duan Shulin said.

"Wang Lian?" Chen Guan was a bit stunned. When he saw Wang Lian earlier, she didn't show off in front of him, so he thought she hadn't been recognized by the Secret God's Child, but unexpectedly, it was her.

Moreover, Wang Lian is from the Wang Family. Logically, the King of Du should not allow his Secret God to choose Wang Lian.

"No wonder Wang Lian and Qin Qiu took a detour; they're afraid of being blocked." Chen Guan thought and found it a bit strange.

Calculating it, the Qin Family and Wang Family are sworn enemies.

The King of Qin claims to be of the Emperor Ancestor's lineage, while the Wang Family are descendants of the royalty overthrown by the Emperor Ancestor.

Calculating it, they are indeed arch-enemies, yet Wang Lian guards against others and not Qin Qiu, which is peculiar.

"What on earth is Wang Lian planning?" Chen Guan thought after meeting Qin Qiu and knew Qin Qiu was not someone easy to deal with; his being with Wang Lian was definitely not just because of her beauty.

At this moment, Wang Lian's mood was exceptionally good. Even she hadn't imagined that she would be so easily recognized by the Secret God's Child.

Among so many prominent talents, the Secret God's Child chose her, forcing Wang Lian to marvel at the power of the Secret Technique left by the Emperor Ancestor.

Suddenly, Wang Lian found that it seemed she had everything.

The "Afang Sutra" was completed by her, no need to seek the remaining part from Chen Guan.

Now she even has the Secret God's Child, and as long as she solves the special state issue of the Secret God's Child, with it, her family will definitely make great use of her in the future.

But dealing with the special state of the Secret God's Child is not simple; her own talent and ability can only temporarily maintain the condition from deteriorating.

So when Qin Qiu offered to help her solve the Secret God's Child issue, Wang Lian didn't immediately refuse.

She naturally knew that Qin Qiu surely intended to seize the Secret God's Child, but she had other plans; it won't be easy for Qin Qiu to take the Secret God's Child from her.

Everyone only knows the Secret God's Child is trapped in a Special State and is on the brink of death, seemingly useless.

Yet they don't know that although the Secret God's Child has little time left, it possesses an extremely powerful ability, sufficient for Wang Lian to protect herself and escape.

As long as it's not the exclusive Secret Realm of the Qin Family's main house, no matter what ulterior motives Qin Qiu has, Wang Lian is confident she can leave him with nothing.

Purple Robe and Gu Shan stood in front of the mountain gate, looking at the now deserted square, each with a different expression.

"She is too willful, I still think she should have chosen Chen Guan. Only Chen Guan's strong luck can truly help her change her beautiful but doomed fate." Gu Shan said.

"She wanted to choose him, but she needed a chance. That Chen Guan left without saying a word, how could she choose?" Purple Robe said.

"Didn't she herself say they were unsuitable?" Gu Shan had a strange look.

"How can you take a woman's words seriously... a female Secret Spirit's words are equally unreliable… he should have been more patient… how can a man be so petty…" Purple Robe pursed her lips.

Gu Shan was speechless, wisely choosing to remain silent. His thousands of years of experience told him never to reason with a woman.

"Now it's good too, she chose Wang Lian, and Wang Lian's fortune is quite excellent too." Purple Robe mused, "Moreover, the Cultivation Technique Wang Lian practices is extraordinarily special, providing great auxiliary effects on her body with the Alien Elemental Energy it forms, which has already alleviated her physical condition, this choice is no worse than Chen Guan. There will be times Chen Guan regrets not being chosen."

Gu Shan didn't quite agree; a beautiful but doomed fate is not something that can be resolved by just having someone with strong fortune. As for Wang Lian's Alien Elemental Energy being able to alleviate the Secret God's Child's physical problem, Gu Shan felt alleviation didn't mean solving the problem.

Painkillers can relieve pain, but they don't truly cure the disease, Gu Shan thought Wang Lian and the Secret God's Child's future didn't look optimistic.

Purple Robe, however, seemed unworried, saying optimistically, "No need to worry, after all, she is the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons. If Wang Lian cannot protect her, it's no hard thing to sever ties and seek a new host."

Gu Shan thought to himself: "Being able to describe betrayal and treachery in such a grandiose way, this woman is indeed not a good person."
