Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 156: Key


Yang Qing's face gradually darkened, his originally handsome face now showed an anger that could not be suppressed.

He originally thought that his father just wanted Lin Feng to return to the family, and called him here to consult his opinion.

Yet he didn't expect it would be for this reason!

Father begging his son?

Yang Qing, in his entire life, has never begged anyone!

Even Yang Qingtian is no exception!

Now, to let him beg a child he abandoned to return to the family?

How ridiculous!

"This time, even if he wants to come back, he can't."

Yang Qing said indifferently, yet his tone was cold and resolute.

Looking at his thirteenth son, Yang Qingtian felt somewhat helpless.

He had purposely changed the word 'beg' to 'say', yet the reaction was still so intense!

If he had truly said the word 'beg', the anger might have been even greater.

For a large family, spreading branches and flourishing population is one of the guarantees for a family's prosperity.

As the Martial King and Clan Leader, Yang Qingtian has eighteen children, not too few, not too many.

Yang Qing ranks thirteenth, but his talent is the most outstanding and the most proud.

He has been very proud since childhood.

When children were little, they would act spoiled and demand things. If not given, they might even cry and roll on the ground.

But Yang Qing was an exception.

No matter how much he wanted to eat, or how much he wanted something, he never asked adults for it, with no exceptions!

Only if you give it to him, he would accept it.

Because of this personality, Yang Qing was actually not very favored by elders when he was young.

But it was precisely this abnormal pride that made him not allow anyone of his age to be more excellent and powerful than him!

This made him more self-disciplined, spending almost all of his time on cultivation.

Superb cultivation talent, coupled with extreme self-discipline, was the key to him becoming the banner of the Yang Race at this age.

Yang Qingtian appreciated this kind of pride!

However, at this time, he wished Yang Qing wasn't so proud.

"You know what this child means to any family!"

Yang Qingtian said seriously: "Ever since the space-time rift occurred in 2056, Otherworld fused, Shangjing has appeared with 52 other-dimensional spaces, on average one every six years, but recently within a short span of five years, two new other-dimensional spaces have appeared one after another, and thus two new keys emerged."

"Two keys, one was taken by the Alien Race, one was taken by the Chen Family. Although the Chen Family's strength is not weak, it is far from our Ten Great Clans, why was the Chen Family able to capture this key? Isn't it because of Chen Xintai, a demon fiend invincible in the Fifth Grade Realm!"

"The importance of the key, I don't need to tell you, it guarantees a family's strength and voice!"

"Even our Yang Family, until a week ago, only possessed two keys, it was precisely because of these two keys that the family could thrive and successfully enter the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing."

"This time you've stationed in 'Kai Yuan' for three years, seized a key, and accomplished a wondrous achievement. I originally didn't want you to be in a dilemma, but I hope you remember your surname."

"You have outstanding talent, but also don't forget, it is the resources earned by tens of thousands of family members, supporting you to achieve today's strength and status."

"Everything revolves around family, even for me, this is also the guarantee for the development of the Yang Race until today!"

Yang Qingtian spoke a lot.

Yang Qing's expression was cold and he said nothing.

He naturally knows what a demon fiend means for the family.

That signifies possibly one or even multiple keys!

As for the importance of keys, he knows even better, because he indeed has one inside his body.

Each other-dimensional space has a key.

That is the key to achieving Martial Emperor.

Having it increases the success rate of breaking through to Martial Emperor.

Some also call it 'Heart of Space'.

Because possessing it allows control of the central heart of that other-dimensional space.

Although it cannot directly control the other-dimensional space, it can forcibly destroy and close it.

However, unless there is an alien invasion, no one would easily choose to destroy it.

Because possessing this key allows the condensation of energy from the other-dimensional space, which is also known as 'Essence of Life'.

Essence of Life is extremely precious to cultivators.

A key that has been refined will be infected with its owner's aura, cannot be snatched, and cannot be sold, otherwise one key is worth at least billions, which could quickly develop and expand a small family, advancing into the lineage of great families.

Back then, the Yang Race rose rapidly precisely because of these two keys.

And keys will only appear in two situations:

The first is when an other-dimensional space first appears on Earth, at that time, extraordinary phenomena will happen that humans will feel, and alien and demon races will sense too.

Therefore, every time there is a contention, it becomes a bloody battle.

The key has spirituality. If it is not taken by someone, it will disappear, only reappearing when this other-dimensional space gate fully merges with Earth.

The other-dimensional space is very unstable. The lower the level of the space gate, the less stable it is, and the more sensitive it is to energy.

This is why most other-dimensional space gates have strict limitations on the strength of those who enter.

Even without such restrictions, advanced martial artists generally do not enter low-level space gates.

Upon entering, not only is their power suppressed.

But also, inadvertently revealing energy too intensely, exceeding what the space can bear, might cause a small-scale collapse, directly swallowing the person into space.

Even if new low-level and mid-level other-dimensional space gates appear, or previous space gates fully merge with Earth, presenting new keys, a strong person like Yang Qing still cannot enter.

The stronger you are, the more your power is suppressed.

With suppressed strength, facing opponents of the same tier, even Yang Qing does not dare claim to be invincible.

Carelessness might lead to dying in a low-level space.

At this moment, someone whose strength does not exceed the space's limit, yet whose combat power is invincible at the same tier, becomes exceedingly valuable.

Yang Qing participated in this kind of key contention three times in the past.

Human race, demon race, alien race, various prodigies gathered, battling among themselves.

Even for him, although he was above his peers in his youth, he was not invincible at the same tier, and there were those stronger than him.

Not being invincible among his peers, let alone among alien and demon races.

Therefore, he never succeeded.

He fought for three years for the key to the "Kai Yuan" other-dimensional space.

During those three years, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation speed, refusing to break through to Martial King.

Because breaking through would cause his strength to be suppressed, making it impossible to even exert Ninth Grade power.

During those three years, his hands were stained with blood, & he narrowly escaped death multiple times before finally acquiring this hard-won key.

As for Lin Feng, a martial arts demon fiend, his unbelievable speed in cultivation saw him mastering two Third Grade martial skills at just 19!

More importantly, Lin Feng is also a rare combat genius.

Though he has yet to refine a demon spirit, he already shows potential to be invincible at the same tier!

Once he refines an Earth Chart demon spirit, he will undoubtedly be invincible at the same tier!

Such a genius is invaluable to any family!

Even the Yang Family is no exception.

"Previously, although he became a top scorer in the exams, since he had yet to refine a demon spirit, only the Glory Professional Alliance paid attention."

"Yesterday, he ascended the First Throne at Red Cloud University, and his performance has caught the eye of several great clans, even reaching the high echelons and military's radar."

"Now he has broken through to Second Grade, demonstrating an invincible stance at the same tier. I know people have already started to act!"

Yang Qingtian expressed a tinge of worry.

This is also why he is eager to bring Lin Feng back.

"Back then, you were the one who called me back!"

After a moment of silence, Yang Qing said.

"That woman was also your order for me to marry!"

It was due to his father's order that he returned to the family, married the woman beneficial to him and the family, and abandoned his formerly own family!

He abandoned that child!

Now, his father wants him to beg for that child's return to the family.

How could he possibly have the face to do that?

"I regret it!" Yang Qingtian said.

He truly regretted it, if he had known about Lin Feng's monstrous talent 13 years ago, he would have never made that decision.

Compared to making Yang Qing marry that woman, Lin Feng's value is tenfold, a hundredfold!

I regret it!

His father's words caused Yang Qing's expression to slightly change, his displeasure slowly disappearing from his face.

He was very proud.

But his father was equally proud.

This was the first time Yang Qing has heard his father express remorse, showing such an expression.

"If you are unwilling, then I will speak with him!"

After standing in silence for a long while under his father's gaze, Yang Qing finally said: "Within three days, isn't he going to refine the demon spirit? If he refines a Ninth Grade demon spirit, I will personally go to Guanglin to ask him!"

Having said that, Yang Qing slightly bowed and turned to leave.

This was his last remnant of pride.

Because with such a genius, even he could not maintain his pride!

He too wanted very much to see with his own eyes this child gaining nationwide acclaim.
