Chapter 8 – Disregarding Elders' Words, Enjoying Years of Happiness

One day, Qin Feng was cultivating in his small courtyard, sitting cross-legged.

Ever since he broke through to the first level of the Kaiyuan Realm, his cultivation speed had slowed down once more. The reason was that his Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art was lagging behind again.

It was like having a new, more powerful car, but with an old, underpowered engine. He urgently needed to comprehend the second level of the art.

"Thankfully, my foolish little brother has been born. Now I can finally let loose!"

Qin Feng opened the system, which showed he had 32,400 Villain Points and one chance at the lottery.

According to the system, he could only get a chance at the lottery by ruining the opportunities of a Chosen One. The prizes were incredible, ranging from God-level physiques and special divine abilities to divine arts and skills...

"What will I get!?" Qin Feng thought, full of anticipation, and prompted the system to start.

With a whir, a large lottery wheel appeared before Qin Feng, spinning rapidly. It was densely packed with prizes: the Supreme Body, Firmament Tyrant Body, Battle Saint Body, Chaos Saint Body, Heavenly Eyes, Supreme Bone, True Dragon Art, Art of Self-Transformation...

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!"

BOOM!

A clap of thunder resounded in Qin Feng's mind. It was as if his soul had left his body and entered another world.

A person in black appeared. Without a single wasted word, he nodded and drew his sword!

The crisp, metallic ring of a sword being drawn echoed through the world. A stunning flash of sword light, seemingly detached from the world, burst forth. A bone-chilling cold swept across the land. The sword light, as graceful as a startled swan and as swift as a soaring dragon, looked as if it would cleave the very heavens in two.

The terrifying sword strike was seared into Qin Feng's mind like a brand, so captivating that he was lost in it, unable to pull himself away.

"How terrifying!"

By the time Qin Feng's consciousness returned, he was already drenched in cold sweat.

True swordsmanship required no flashy moves. The moment the sword was drawn, it could sunder heaven and earth, and the battle would be decided.

However, as powerful as the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique was, with Qin Feng's current cultivation and age, he couldn't execute the strike even though he now understood how. He needed to strengthen his cultivation and improve his physical condition first.

"I need to cultivate, and fast!"

Qin Feng called out to the system in his mind to redeem a one-month Comprehension Aura.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have spent 30,000 Villain Points to successfully redeem a one-month Comprehension Aura!"

For the first time in three years, Qin Feng felt that familiar, trance-like state, as if his soul were leaving his body. All the aspects of cultivation he hadn't understood before now became clear to him with ease.

Just then—

An old man appeared in Qin Feng's courtyard. A closer look revealed him to be the Tenth Ancestor of the Qin Family. In terms of seniority, he was Qin Feng's great-grandfather, his father's paternal grandfather.

As for his own grandfather, he was supposedly out gaining experience. No news had been heard from him in several hundred years, and no one knew if he was dead or alive, leading the family to endlessly debate whether or not to hold the funeral banquet.

"My good great-grandson, Great-grandpa has come to see you!" the Tenth Ancestor said, picking Qin Feng up with a face full of affection. He was incredibly fond of this obedient, sensible, and hardworking great-grandson.

Ever since Qin Feng's breakthrough to the Kaiyuan Realm, the Qin Family's ancestors had been both shocked and overjoyed.

They were overjoyed, of course, that the family had produced another incredible Heaven's Pride. They were shocked that Qin Feng had managed to break through without any guidance—an extremely dangerous act that could have easily resulted in the destruction of his cultivation, or even his death.

Thus, after some discussion, the Qin Family ancestors decided to send the Tenth Ancestor to guide Qin Feng in his cultivation.

"Guidance?"

Qin Feng thought it was entirely unnecessary.

He possessed the complete version of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art, with all the precautions clearly noted. As long as he followed the instructions, there would be no mishaps.

As for guidance on martial skills and movement techniques, he'd be better off "borrowing" his younger brother's backside for a couple of days. No matter how difficult the skill, he was confident he could master it in two days with that method.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"A cultivator must never become arrogant!"

The Tenth Ancestor sensed a hint of pride in Qin Feng and decided to knock him down a peg, to make him understand that there are always mountains beyond mountains, and high-class brothels beyond buildings. On the path of cultivation, if you don't advance, you regress.

The Tenth Ancestor sank his qi to his dantian and stomped his foot. A few leaves on the ground shot into the air. He then brought two fingers together and pointed at a rockery more than ten meters high in the distance.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The leaves instantly became terrifying weapons, slicing the large rockery into rubble.

The Tenth Ancestor began his lecture in earnest. "Did you see that? That was the first Heaven-Tier Martial Skill I ever learned, Falling Leaves. By patiently training at home for more than ten years, I finally reached Great Perfection. The moment I emerged, my name shook the world..."

Before he could finish recounting his glorious deeds, he saw Qin Feng mimicking him.

Qin Feng first sank his qi to his dantian and stomped his foot, sending a few leaves fluttering into the air. He then brought two fingers together and pointed at a nearby stone table.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The leaves shot out like steel plates and embedded themselves deep into the stone table.

If his cultivation weren't only at the first level of the Kaiyuan Realm, he definitely could have turned the leaves into a slicing machine just like the Tenth Ancestor.

"This thing takes more than ten years to master?"

Qin Feng felt no difficulty whatsoever. He figured he could reach Great Perfection in a month, tops.

He wasn't sure if it was because his hundred-fold Comprehension Aura was active, or if Falling Leaves was just a bit too 'wuxia' and not impressive enough for this 'xuanhuan' world.

Whatever the reason, he really couldn't bring himself to be impressed by a Heaven-Tier skill. The prospect of beating his younger brother's butt to exchange for a God-level martial skill was far more appealing.

Meanwhile—

The Tenth Ancestor stood by in silence, clearly wounded.

Especially Qin Feng's mutter—"This thing takes decades to master?"—had dealt him an unprecedented amount of critical damage.

"I need to be alone!!"

The Tenth Ancestor silently chanted to himself. *Don't get angry, don't get angry. He's family, he's family.*

"Ding! Host has been detected showing disrespect to an elder. You have been awarded 100 Villain Points!"

"How was I being disrespectful!?"

Qin Feng was completely baffled, wondering if the system had made a mistake.

The system quickly provided an answer: Disregarding the words of an elder is a form of disrespect.

Qin Feng was speechless. What century was this? Who still treated the words of the elderly like an imperial edict? Were old people always right!?

Whatever.

The system is always right!

If it says I was being disrespectful, then I was being disrespectful. Besides, as they say: disregard your elders, and you'll be happy for years!

Just then—

The other ancestors of the Qin Family walked past Qin Feng with solemn expressions, heading straight for his parents' neighboring courtyard without a backward glance.

"What's going on?"

Curious, Qin Feng followed them.

Upon entering, he saw the ancestors crowded around his younger brother, holding several ancient books and comparing them to the baby.

A few minutes later, the ancestors could no longer contain themselves and burst into joyous laughter, looking to the heavens.

"The Supreme Bone! It's unmistakable! That mysterious aura is the legendary Supreme Bone, a one-in-a-million treasure! This child is a natural-born supreme being! The heavens are truly blessing the Qin Family!"

"Talk about a protagonist halo..."

Qin Feng's mood soured instantly. A Chosen One truly defied all logic.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have triggered the Epic-level Mandated Villain quest: Dig out your brother's Supreme Bone. Reward: Invincible Double Pupils..."
