Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Qin Nian’s Decision

Hearing Qin Bancheng’s words, Qin Chuan and Tang Yue’er’s gazes simultaneously fell on Qin Nian.

Seeing Qin Chuan’s gaze, Qin Nian immediately felt like a startled deer, her face full of panic.

"Brother, I... I don’t know what happened to me, when I see other women admiring you, I just can’t help but get very angry."

As she spoke, tears streamed from her eyes. She also deeply detested her current self, especially what she had done just moments ago in trying to kill Tang Yue’er.

Upon hearing her words, Tang Yue’er looked stunned.

Qin Chuan’s eyes were filled with gravity as he watched Qin Nian cry. He felt as if his heart was being sliced open repeatedly by a knife.

"This is because after you received the inheritance, it magnified both the good and evil thoughts in your heart by several times. When you harbored evil thoughts, you wished to kill all those who obstructed your view, but when you held good thoughts, you fell into an extremely guilty state, almost wishing to die as an apology."

Qin Bancheng’s voice rose again, his expression complex as he looked at Qin Nian, saying: "This condition is the same as with the Inheritors of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body throughout the history of the Qin Royal Family."

"Outside, there are rumors saying the ancestor of the Qin Royal Family was an unforgivably evil person, even called an Evil Cultivator. In fact, the ancestor of the Qin Royal Family was a very kind person. It was only after obtaining the Blood Lotus from beyond the skies and creating the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body that he seemed to have changed."

"Every inheritor of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body after that also had their good and evil thoughts magnified several times after receiving the inheritance, which is the origin of the rumors about the Qin Royal Family ancestor’s soul snatching."

"But they don’t consider that even if the soul of the Qin Royal Family ancestor was indestructible through hundreds of lifetimes, could it really keep snatching bodies to stay alive? If it truly could do so, why wouldn’t the ancestor simply destroy the soul of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body inheritor?"

Qin Bancheng’s words were not without reason; even Qin Chuan felt he was right that the soul of the Qin Royal Family ancestor was not indestructible through hundreds of lifetimes.

If that were the case, then the reason Qin Nian suddenly developed a different persona was probably because after she received the inheritance, the good and evil thoughts both magnified by several times.

Like now, why was Qin Nian crying? Because she felt remorse, which was the amplified good thoughts at play.

Because when she had evil thoughts, she almost killed Tang Yue’er. Now that the evil thoughts had dissipated and good thoughts emerged, she fell into endless self-blame.

Qin Chuan asked, "How did the Inheritors of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body in the Qin Royal Family history overcome this difficulty?"

Qin Bancheng let out a cold laugh, "This is the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, one of the ten Divine Bodies recognized in the Ancient Martial World. How could it possibly be easy to overcome this difficulty?"

Qin Chuan frowned and asked coldly, "Are you saying that all the inheritors of the Qin Royal Family royalty just toughed it out through this? If that were the case, wouldn’t they have been driven insane?"

One could imagine that if a person were to oscillate between good thoughts daily, it might be bearable in the short term, but over a longer period, could they maintain a normal state?

Clearly, he didn’t believe that these inheritors had simply let things take their course.

Suddenly, Qin Bancheng asked, "Do you know what eventually became of all the inheritors of the Qin Royal Family?"

Qin Chuan didn’t speak but his gaze towards Qin Bancheng grew colder.

A hint of sorrow suddenly appeared on Qin Bancheng’s face, and he said desolately, "In the early years after they received their inheritance, their Martial Path Realm progressed by leaps and bounds. However, as their cultivation increased, their magnified good and evil thoughts grew stronger, and in the end, they either chose to end their own lives or went mad."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan could not help but take a sharp breath, his eyes flashing with intense anger.

Even with unparalleled medical skills, he could not cure his own sister. What use was possessing such unmatched skills?

Qin Nian also had a dazed look on her face, standing motionless in place.

Tang Yue’er asked anxiously, "Is there really no way at all?"

Qin Bancheng scoffed coldly, looking at Tang Yue’er and saying, "Even tens of generations of the Qin Royal Family have not been able to find a solution. Who else could possibly think of a better one?"

"You just said, as the Inheritor’s power grows, their good and evil thoughts also magnify exponentially. So, what if Nian Nian gives up cultivating or even finds a way to regress her cultivation? Wouldn’t that prevent her from turning out that way?"

"Also, since the root cause of all this is the inheritance of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, can Nian Nian give up the inheritance? That way, she wouldn’t be driven into a corner, right?"

Hearing this notion, Qin Bancheng was visibly surprised; however, this momentary change of expression was clearly noticed by Qin Chuan.

Qin Bancheng then hurriedly defended himself, "Inheritance is like a memory deeply engraved in the Inheritor’s mind. Once obtained, how can it possibly be given up?"

"Moreover, even if the lady gives up cultivating and keeps her cultivation level as it is, she will still ultimately be driven into a corner."

"You all have no idea how powerful the inheritance of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body is. It’s a heritage that can affect one’s mind. Though the weaker the cultivation, the smaller the amplification of good and evil thoughts, the weaker the ability to withstand. Even if she could maintain her cultivation level, due to weaker endurance, she would still be driven to a dead-end."

At this point, he looked at the painfully distressed Qin Nian and said, "Although the Qin Royal Family has not found a way to change the fate of the Inheritors, we have studied inheritors of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body for tens of generations. If the lady follows me back to the Qin Royal Family, she can naturally access relevant data, and perhaps the nightmare of Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body inheritors could end with her generation."

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in the desperate eyes of Qin Nian as she stared intently at Qin Bancheng and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Qin Bancheng replied with a smile, "What benefits would I gain from deceiving the lady? After all, only the Qin Royal Family possesses the inheritors of the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body. If there is any way in this world to resolve the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, it must lie with the Qin Royal Family."

"Brother, I..."

Qin Nian’s eyes suddenly turned red as she looked at Qin Chuan, but before she could finish her words, Qin Chuan interrupted her. "You better think it over. If one day you find out that the destruction of the Qin Family is linked to the Qin Royal Family, how will you choose?"

"I..."

Qin Nian had only uttered one word, and then she could not speak any further.

The grudge of the Qin Family’s destruction, like a bone-deep maggot, was deeply etched in her mind.

If she went to the Qin Royal Family now, she would inevitably receive the favor of the Qin Royal Family, even forging close ties with some of its members.

But if the destruction of the Qin Family was related to the Qin Royal Family, how could she confront the Qin Royal Family? How could she face those of the Qin Royal Family whom she had become close to?

"Also..."

Qin Chuan suddenly spoke, looking coldly at Qin Bancheng and said, "What he says is not necessarily all true."
