Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Coexistence of Good and Evil

It’s not that Qin Bancheng was cowardly, but rather because Sovereign Realm powerhouses were invincible. The aura he felt emanating from Qin Chuan was that of a Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

Knowing he was outmatched and still choosing to fight head-on would have been idiotic.

Qin Chuan said coldly, "I’ll give you one more chance. Has the annihilation of the Qin Family in the Secular World anything to do with the Qin Royal Family in the Ancient Martial World?"

Qin Bancheng hurriedly denied, "Even if you ask me a hundred times, my answer remains the same. The Qin Family’s annihilation has nothing to do with the Qin Royal Family."

He had already prepared to flee, but dared not make any rash moves before Qin Chuan made a move to attack.

The arrogance that once graced his chiseled face had long been replaced by fear.

Qin Nian’s gaze was fixed intently on Qin Bancheng; as the only surviving direct descendant of the Qin Family, she wanted to know the truth behind the family’s destruction more than anyone else.

Qin Chuan’s brows furrowed. He knew that Qin Bancheng wasn’t telling the truth. Even if the Qin Royal Family hadn’t directly destroyed the Qin Family, they must have been involved somehow.

Just as Qin Chuan was contemplating whether to kill Qin Bancheng right then and there, Tang Yue’er suddenly whispered to him, "Big Brother Qin, don’t forget the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body."

Qin Chuan then realized, right, he hadn’t yet figured out the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, something Qin Bancheng surely knew about.

His killing intent subsided markedly as he looked at Qin Bancheng and asked, "Tell me about the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body."

Feeling the killing intent directed at him lessen dramatically, Qin Bancheng was slightly surprised. However, when Qin Chuan questioned him again about the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, his expression froze.

Qin Bancheng said, "The Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body is one of the ten special physiques in the Ancient Martial World. Inheritors of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body cultivate much faster than ordinary martial artists."

Qin Chuan asked, "What else?"

Qin Bancheng shook his head, "Besides that, there’s nothing particularly special."

"You’re lying!"

Tang Yue’er mustered her courage and angrily retorted, "You’ve already admitted you are the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family, and you came specifically to take Nian Nian away. How could you possibly know so little about the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body?"

Qin Bancheng’s pupils shrank sharply as he glared at Tang Yue’er and said, "Perhaps there are other special aspects to the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, but they are incredibly rare. Not many truly understand it, not even I know more than a little."

Tang Yue’er clearly didn’t believe his words and looked towards Qin Chuan, saying, "Back at the villa, Nian Nian suddenly seemed like a different person. It’s as if there were two distinct souls within her. One soul tried to use Nian Nian’s body to kill me."

"I’ve been chased here by this soul possessing Nian Nian. Big Brother Qin, earlier the Murong Family Head also mentioned some details about the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, and I think Nian Nian’s condition closely resembles the second rumor he described. Nian Nian’s body not only contains her own soul but another soul as well, one that can control the body."

Qin Chuan was taken aback; he had noticed something off about Qin Nian but had not considered the possibility of two souls residing within her. This was almost unimaginable.

Seeing Qin Chuan looking at her, tears welling up in her eyes, Qin Nian spoke with a choked voice, "Big Brother Qin, I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m sorry, I almost killed Sister Yueer just now."

Tang Yue’er quickly shook her head, "How can we blame Nian Nian for this? The blame can only fall on the other soul within you. It’s her control over your body that would make you kill me."

What Qin Chuan feared most was this very situation. After hearing Tang Yue’er, his face became increasingly grave like never before.

If this was indeed the case, what should he do to eliminate the second soul inside Qin Nian?

"Tell me, what exactly is the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body?"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Bancheng as he asked.

Just as Qin Bancheng was about to deny it, before he could even speak, he heard Qin Chuan speak again, "If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, I promise you will beg for life in vain and pine for death without relief!"

Qin Chuan’s face was full of murderous intent, causing Qin Bancheng’s body to tremble violently, with just one sentence he felt a fear as if there were no escape from catastrophe.

He knew that Qin Chuan was very serious when talking to him.

After a slight silence, Qin Bancheng suddenly asked, "If I tell you, can you let me leave?"

Qin Chuan frowned slightly but ultimately chose to nod, "As long as you’re not spouting nonsense, I’ll let you go."

Only then did Qin Bancheng breathe a sigh of relief and slowly began to speak, "Actually, there is no second soul inside the inheritor of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body."

"What?"

Tang Yue’er looked surprised and then said, "But, Nian Nian clearly has two souls inside her fighting for control of her body."

Qin Chuan also looked at Qin Bancheng with confusion.

He knew Tang Yue’er was not lying. If there was not another soul inside Qin Nian, how could Qin Nian have gone to hunt down Tang Yue’er?

Furthermore, after awakening the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, Qin Nian had transformed from an ordinary person into a powerful being at the mid-stage of King Realm cultivation in just two days.

Such a rapid increase in cultivation was not normal at all.

Moreover, after awakening her Divine Body, Qin Nian’s personality also underwent a great change.

It all looked as if there was indeed another soul inside her.

Qin Bancheng looked at Qin Nian with a complex expression and then said, "In the Ancient Martial World, there are two rumors about the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body. The first rumor is that after the inheritor of the Divine Body receives the inheritance, they also obtain the memory of the ancestors of the Qin Royal Family. You can think of it as a person suddenly possessing all the memories of another person. Because the two sets of memories coexist, it causes the inheritor themselves to be unclear about whether they are the ancestor of the Qin Royal Family or themselves. Over time, this leads the inheritor to develop two personalities."

"There’s also a second rumor that every inheritor of the Divine Body is possessed by an ancestor of the Qin Royal Family the moment they receive the inheritance. However, since the inheritor has their own memories and cannot be fully possessed by the ancestor, the soul of the ancestor and the original soul coexist in the same body."

Qin Chuan didn’t speak; what Qin Bancheng said was basically the same as what Murong Fu had told him.

Tang Yue’er asked, "You just said that there is no second soul inside the body of the inheritor of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, which means that Nian Nian not only received the inheritance but also gained the memory of the ancestors of the Qin Royal Family, right?"

Qin Bancheng glanced at Tang Yue’er and then shook his head, "I have never heard that receiving the inheritance necessarily requires gaining the memory as well."

Tang Yue’er asked again, "Is there perhaps a third rumor?"

Qin Bancheng shook his head, "It’s not a third rumor, but a conclusion that the Qin Royal Family came to after researching several generations of Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body inheritors."

"The inheritor of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body is the person themselves and does not gain the memory of the ancestors of the Qin Royal Family nor are they possessed by the ancestors. Instead, every person has two kinds of human nature: good and evil."

Qin Bancheng continued, "The reason why every generation of Divine Body inheritors experiences dramatic changes in temperament after receiving the inheritance is that the inheritance amplifies their benevolent and malevolent thoughts several times over."

"When their mind contains only benevolent thoughts, they become extremely kind, but when their malevolent thoughts arise, they become extremely evil."

After he finished speaking, he looked towards Qin Nian and asked, "Miss, am I not correct? After you obtained the inheritance, you only received a small part of the ancestral memories related to the Martial Path and no other memories, right?"
