You've been watching too much 'Battle Through the Heavens', haven't you? Do you want me to teach you how to transform fighting spirit into a warhorse or something?

Qin Heng, listening to the resolute voice echoing in Gu Xing's mind, couldn't help but feel speechless. Isn't this a bit too adolescent? Does this guy really think he has become the chosen one, destined to rise against the heavens and beat everyone down?

Gu Xing was still fiercely brooding in his heart, fantasizing about how he would beat Qin Heng in the future.

But he had no idea that all his thoughts, including his communication with the Spiritual Body, were under Qin Heng's watchful gaze, with nowhere to hide.

Under the detection of Qin Heng's Divine Sense, the Spiritual Body resembled a Western European; its soul body was condensed but incomplete.

It must have been forcibly deprived of its body by someone, but its divine soul was quite powerful, which is why it was clinging to life.

"Holy Spirit?" Qin Heng could clearly feel that there was an aura within this Spiritual Body, one that transcended the mundane, an aura of having stepped into sainthood!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, this level is called Foundation Establishment. It is the beginning of establishing the Dao Foundation, the start of stepping from the transcendent into sainthood.

On Earth, this is called the Dao of Saints.

In China, they are called Saints, while in the West, they are known as Holy Spirits.

This Spiritual Body, when intact, must have been a Western powerhouse of Holy Spirit level, comparable to Foundation Establishment.

Previously, this Spiritual Body had always been nurturing itself within a black bead in Gu Xing's backpack. It had only come out and possessed Gu Xing after sensing his intense resentment.

However, just these facts alone were not enough to draw Qin Heng's focused attention.

After all, even a complete Holy Spirit was still as weak as an ant to the current him, utterly insignificant, let alone just a remnant divine soul of a Holy Spirit whose body had been destroyed.

Indeed, Qin Heng wasn't even interested in finding out the identity of this Holy Spirit.

What truly caught his attention was the essence of this Holy Spirit's power; the depths of its divine soul hid an elusive trace of—Nine Nether Evil Qi!

Perhaps the Holy Spirit itself was not aware of the terrifying power hidden at the deepest part of its divine soul, but under the exploration of Qin Heng's Emperor Level Divine Sense, everything was incredibly clear.

This was the second time that Qin Heng had discovered Nine Nether Evil Qi on Earth.

The last time was with Lu Jianjia's father, Lu Guangyuan. After treating Lu Guangyuan, Qin Heng had asked him if he had been in contact with any strange people.

The response he got was that Lu Guangyuan had come into contact with a peculiar Westerner.

Now, this Holy Spirit, harboring Nine Nether Evil Qi at the depth of its divine soul, was also a Westerner—this suggested that in that land of Western Barbarians, there were likely many forces associated with Nine Nether Evil Qi.

Following the principle of casting a long line to catch a bigger fish, Qin Heng did not want to deal with Gu Xing and this Holy Spirit right away. Instead, he planned to let them grow stronger, thus increasing the strength of that strand of Nine Nether Evil Qi, making it easier for Qin Heng to absorb.

If they could lead to more things or people related to Nine Nether Evil Qi, all the better.

To any world, Nine Nether Evil Qi is like a toxin, which might bring about apocalyptic calamity, but in Qin Heng's eyes, it's premium nourishment.

Every strand of Nine Nether Evil Qi represented countless amounts of extremely pure Spiritual Energy, even immortal qi!

It could even be used to affect the laws of Earth, enhancing Qin Heng's comprehension of the supreme laws—truly excellent stuff.

Of course, Qin Heng wouldn't let Gu Xing develop unrestrained.

He placed a strand of his divine thought in Gu Xing's mental world. This way, he could monitor Gu Xing's words and actions, as well as the movements of that Spiritual Body, at any time and place.

Nothing could escape Qin Heng's notice.

Basically, Qin Heng was treating Gu Xing and that Spiritual Body like pigs to be fattened up for slaughter later on.

And he didn't even have to feed them himself.

"The funny thing is, this pig still thinks it's the protagonist who can defy the heavens," Qin Heng said softly, shaking his head with a slight sense of pity. "I guess this pig won't get too fat. Gu Xing's personality is too arrogant. He'll probably court death before long."

Qin Heng's guess was accurate. The strand of Divine Sense he left in Gu Xing's spiritual world also relayed this scenario to him.

The high-speed train arrived at the next station, and Gu Xing left with his parents.

After getting off, Gu Xing shot a fierce, venomous glare at the carriage Qin Heng was in, muttering to himself, "Qin Xuantian! Letting me go this time is your biggest mistake! I've got the golden finger now; I've got an old grandpa at my side now; I'm definitely the protagonist of this era! Just you wait, I'll get stronger soon! I'll trample you underfoot! Beat you until you call me daddy!!"

Qin Heng, listening to Gu Xing's declaration brimming with adolescent fervor, slightly twitched the corners of his mouth and mocked internally, It even freaking rhymes…

Bo Ling had been watching Qin Heng closely. Noticing his expressions change, she immediately left her seat and approached him. She leaned close to Qin Heng, her breath fragrant as orchids, and accused, "You're pretending to be asleep, aren't you!!"

She was angry that Qin Heng had blocked her and didn't pay much attention as she came over, bending over with her brows slightly furrowed, exuding a unique charm.

Qin Heng slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I was just resting my eyes. Is there something you need?"

Resting my eyes, my ass.

"Why did you block me just now?" Bo Ling demanded. It was the first time a beauty like her had been blocked.

She had not expected this.

As soon as her words came out, the entire carriage was shocked!

They were blown away!

The atmosphere boiled over!

Everyone stood up, staring at Qin Heng in utter amazement, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Damn! Blocked! That's badass! To block such a beauty! Man, you're too strong!!"

"A beauty of this caliber, I can't even get her contact information, and you actually blocked her! Damn, what a legend!!"

"How come someone like you could even add a beauty on WeChat!!"

A chorus of laments rose from all around.

Qin Heng took out his phone, scrolled to Bo Ling's friend request, pressed 'accept' right in front of her, then smiled at her, "No, I didn't block you. See? We're still connected. You must have been mistaken."

Bo Ling was completely baffled, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Qin Heng.

Damn it!? This is just shameless! So infuriating!! Really so infuriating!!

Cui Danwei and Shangguan Wen, who were nearby, also witnessed this and were dumbfounded as they stared at Qin Heng, completely shocked by his actions!!

There's such a maneuver!? He truly doesn't take beautiful women seriously at all! No wonder. He's a man with 8.6 billion in current deposits; he's truly too strong, too impressive!!

Bo Ling returned to her seat helplessly.

Filled with a mix of anger and indignation, she really wanted to send Qin Heng a few sticker messages to vent.

But she was afraid Qin Heng would block her again.

So she simply put her phone away and sat there, sulking.

The high-speed train was fast. It wasn't long before it arrived at Beijing South Station. At this moment, the high-speed train's broadcast suddenly sounded, and a sweet voice came through.

"Dear passengers, due to an emergency on the station platform, disembarkation has been delayed. To compensate for your time, we have prepared 1,000 yuan in compensation for each of you. Please remain in your seats and wait patiently."

"Dear passengers, due to an emergency on the station platform, disembarkation has been delayed. To compensate for your time, we have prepared 1,000 yuan in compensation for each of you. Please remain in your seats and wait patiently."

...

When this announcement was made, everyone on the high-speed train was shocked, their faces etched with disbelief.

An emergency, delayed disembarkation, and even a 1,000-yuan compensation!? What's going on?

No one had ever encountered such a thing, not even heard of it.

Of course, everyone was happy to receive money.

Almost no one objected, and they all waited patiently in their seats.

Bo Ling, Cui Danwei, Shangguan Wen, and the others were also very curious, unsure of what had happened. Compensating 1,000 yuan per person was truly a grand gesture! That would cost tens of millions in an instant!!

CHIME! CHIME! CHIME! PSSSH!!

The sound of the train doors opening suddenly arose.

It dumbfounded the passengers in the carriage. Didn't they say that disembarkation was delayed? Why did the doors suddenly open?

"Look quickly! There are so many people outside! Why are there so many of them?"

"That person in the lead looks so familiar! I think I've seen him on TV!"

"Holy shit! Isn't that He Hua, the chairman of Tianhe Steel Group? What's he doing here? And... and he's kneeling!!"

"Why are they all kneeling? What's going on??"

A chorus of exclamations echoed through the carriage.

The people in the carriage, witnessing the scene on the platform, were all dumbstruck, shocked to their core!!

They simply couldn't understand.

At this moment, outside this business class carriage, stood over a hundred people, all dressed in suits and ties, respectfully—kneeling down!

It was like ancient court officials welcoming the arrival of the Emperor!!

Bo Ling was utterly stunned, her gaze fixed on the outside, murmuring incredulously, My God! This... this... this! These are all from the legitimate line of the He Family, a six-hundred-year-old Beijing family, all top figures in China! What are they doing? Kneeling here... who are they welcoming!?

She even wondered if she was dreaming. How could something like this happen in reality? It was too unbelievable!!

The people in the carriage also heard Bo Ling's words.

Those who understood the He Family's status had their expressions change drastically, staring in utter shock at the over one hundred people kneeling outside.

Any single one of these people was a renowned figure! Not merely an industry leader, but someone possessing achievements and lofty positions ordinary people could never hope to attain in their lifetime!

Now, they were all kneeling here!

Who could they possibly be welcoming? This is too terrifying!

Just as everyone was incredibly shocked, the hundred-plus people outside spoke in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

"We welcome Mr. Qin's arrival in Beijing!"
