The next day.
The news of Qin Feng breaking through to the Kaiyuan Realm spread like a clap of thunder, shaking the entire Qin Family.
A three-year-old in the Kaiyuan Realm was absolutely unprecedented!
"Good, good, good! My son, Qin Feng, truly has the potential of an Emperor!"
Qin Tian's excited laughter echoed throughout the Qin Family estate. He wished he could grab everyone he saw and declare, "My son, Qin Feng, has the potential of an Emperor!"
Seeing this, Qin Feng felt a wave of panic.
He remembered a villain's father from his past life who was just like this, constantly boasting that his son had an Emperor's potential, and successfully attracting the protagonist's attention in the end.
"Feng'er, you're amazing!"
Yun Xiyue walked over, her large belly preceding her, and lovingly stroked Qin Feng's head. She couldn't be fonder of her sensible and hardworking eldest son.
Ever since Qin Feng was born, he had never given her a moment's worry.
Other children would cry and fuss until their parents were at their wits' end, but her son never cried or made a fuss. When he was hungry or needed changing, he would even proactively let them know. As he grew, he trained diligently. He was the very definition of "other people's perfect child."
Qin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes as he screamed internally.
A cute three-year-old toils day and night for three years to break through to the first level of the Kaiyuan Realm, shattering a record unprecedented in the Archaic Era. Is it for a dream? Or for responsibility?!
It's neither!!
It's because he has an unreasonable younger brother, and he doesn't want to be dragged down to an early grave!
Just as the family of three was enjoying a moment of harmonious bliss, a picture of fatherly love and filial piety...
Yun Xiyue's face suddenly contorted in pain. She felt a churning, agonizing pain in her belly.
At the same time, a fierce wind began to howl outside, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. Dark clouds gathered, and the cries of dragons and phoenixes echoed through the void. The illusory phantoms of a dragon and phoenix that had been circling began to solidify.
"The mistress is going into labor!"
Having been through this before, the people of the Qin Family immediately knew what was happening.
Well-trained maids bustled about, and the elite disciples of the Qin Family went on high alert, guarding against anyone who might threaten the future hope of their family.
"My foolish otouto, you're finally about to be born!"
Qin Feng was so excited his breathing grew ragged. He couldn't wait to meet his younger brother.
His father, Qin Tian, was also incredibly excited. He had mixed feelings of anger and joy toward this second son.
He was angry that the boy didn't understand his father's plight and insisted on delaying his birth for three years; he was happy, of course, that he was getting another fine son, though he wondered if this one also had an Emperor's potential.
RUMBLE!!
Lightning and thunder continuously crackled in the sky, while Yun Xiyue's miserable screams echoed from the room. The second child, however, showed no signs of coming out. The dragon and phoenix phantoms paced anxiously in the air, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"It's the second child, why is the birth still so difficult?!"
Qin Feng quickly realized the gravity of the situation. He suspected his younger brother's 'kin-jinxing' aura had been activated.
Once the aura is on, friends and family are gone!
RUMBLE!!
Another clap of thunder boomed, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that descended upon them. Everyone felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them, which also increased the difficulty of the birth.
"Who goes there?!"
Qin Tian erupted in anger on the spot. A furious energy burst forth from his body. The Qin Family disciples' rage meters instantly maxed out, and they pooled their energy to resist the pressure.
But the pressure was simply too terrifying. Even with their combined strength, the people of the Qin Family were no match for it. Just as they were about to collapse, seven or eight other terrifying pressures erupted from within the Qin Family estate.
The Second Ancestor's icy voice followed, "Old Loach, are you trying to start a war with me?!"
"Haha... I was merely testing the cultivation of these worthy nephews!"
A white-haired old man in dragon robes appeared in the sky. If not for having witnessed his earlier actions, it would be hard to associate his kind and benevolent appearance with any ulterior motives.
"Dragon robes? The Emperor of Great Xia!!"
Qin Feng was no longer a clueless novice. In the past three years, besides training, he had also gained some understanding of the Archaic Era.
The Archaic Era was a chaotic mix of various powers: aristocratic families, sects, tribes, gangs, and the Hundred Schools of Thought were innumerable. To strengthen themselves and vie for more cultivation resources, these factions would also band together to form nations.
For example, the Daxia Dynasty, the largest nation in the Archaic Era, was formed from countless aristocratic families. The Qin Family was the most powerful among them, which was why they were known as the number one aristocratic family of the Archaic Era.
It was somewhat like the powerful clans of the Sui and Tang dynasties, a thorn in the side of the ruler.
Once he knew who the man was, it wasn't hard to understand his earlier actions. With the Qin Family producing two Heaven's Prides in a row, how could the Great Xia Royal Family not feel threatened?
"This must be the Qin Family's eldest young master, yes?"
The Emperor of Great Xia acted as if nothing had happened. He descended from the sky with a smile, and upon seeing Qin Feng, he couldn't resist reaching out to pat him.
Whoosh!!
Qin Feng immediately used Phantom Leisure, rapidly retreating to a safe distance.
Given that the man had just shown killing intent toward his younger brother, there was no way he dared to get close. What if he was affected by his brother's 'kin-jinxing' aura? Wouldn't he be a goner?
"That's... a movement technique!!"
The Emperor of Great Xia's expression changed abruptly, his heart reeling in shock.
To an expert of his caliber, Qin Feng's movement technique was nothing special; he could slap him dead with a single palm, no matter how he dodged.
But the boy was only three years old!!
Breaking through to the Kaiyuan Realm at three was already unprecedented, yet he had also mastered a movement technique with such silky smoothness.
This child has the potential of an Emperor!!
At the same time, he recalled the blood moon from three years ago, which signified the birth of a prodigy. It was rumored that the appearance of this prodigy foretold the decline of the nation, the exhaustion of its destiny, and a fall into hell—a potential threat to their Daxia Dynasty.
Could it be that this prodigy... is the Qin Family's eldest young master!?
"When did he..."
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He never thought his precious son had learned a movement technique.
Although this technique wasn't from their Qin Family, he could tell with a single glance how profound it was. It was definitely a technique above the Heaven-rank, comprehended directly from the laws of Heaven and Earth.
"Pardon us, the child is shy around strangers!"
The few Qin Family ancestors also appeared and offered a perfunctory excuse, protectively shielding Qin Feng behind them like a cow guarding its calf.
"No matter, no matter!"
The Emperor of Great Xia gave Qin Feng a deep look, his thoughts unreadable.
At this moment—
Seeing he had backup, Qin Feng immediately showed his true colors.
"You are His Majesty? I've long heard that His Majesty is wise and mighty, of noble character and high integrity, selfless, persevering, hardworking, unyielding, as broad-minded as the ocean, filled with righteous spirit, fearless in the face of danger, and peerless in all the world... Seeing you today, I see the rumors are true!"
Qin Feng put on an exaggerated expression like he was meeting his idol and let loose a torrent of flattery. Then, his tone suddenly shifted, "Your Majesty, as someone so wise and mighty, you wouldn't come to someone's home as a guest empty-handed, would you?"
After speaking, Qin Feng blinked his big, innocent eyes, with a look that said, *I'm just a child, what bad intentions could I possibly have...?*
