Chapter 961: Secrets Settled, Back to Seven Stars Tower

Hearing Qin Xiao’s question, Qin Jiang knew he had the wrong idea entirely.

“Kid, this isn’t some gossip. That Xu Lie also possesses a special physique, known as the Innate Emperor Body. For others, breaking through to the Emperor Realm is immensely difficult, but for someone with the Innate Emperor Body, once they reach Pseudo-Emperor Realm Ninth Rank, their breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm comes almost naturally.”

Qin Jiang knew Qin Xiao was unaware of these secrets, so she explained it to him.

“That powerful? Is he living out the story of a Child of Destiny?”

Qin Xiao was astonished. So someone with that physique only had to grow steadily and would inevitably become an Emperor?

“It’s incredible, sure, but so what? What does that have to do with him having an illegitimate child? Could this physique be inherited? Is he afraid people will get jealous? That they’ll cut off his lineage? Is that why he kept it hidden?”

Although Xu Lie’s physique was impressive, Qin Xiao still didn’t see the need to raise an illegitimate child in secret. After all, Xu Lie was both a Great Emperor Realm expert and the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Array Sect. Protecting his own child should be a simple matter, right? Others wouldn’t risk offending him just out of jealousy.

“Why wouldn’t he fear having his lineage cut off? Do you know that after Xu Lie’s physique was exposed, all three of his children at the time died? Someone spread the word that when breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm, if one were to refine Xu Lie’s children into a pill, they could inherit part of the effect, helping them break through to the Great Emperor Realm.”

Seeing that Qin Xiao still didn’t grasp the crux of the issue, Qin Jiang explained further.

“Damn, that actually works? That truly is dangerous. He really did need to get himself a secret illegitimate child.”

Understanding the reason, Qin Xiao finally got it. It seemed this Xu Lie was quite a tragic Great Emperor.

“In that case, hurry up and tell me—is Yang Yushan Xu Lie’s illegitimate child?”

Qin Xiao’s curiosity was immediately piqued, and he turned to ask Gong Wenlin.
