Chapter 54: Only Power is Eternal!

Jiangguo, Qingzhou, Zhoushan Mansion.

A young man, a youth, an old man, appeared out of thin air in a desolate and dilapidated courtyard overgrown with weeds.

"Is this my home? How did my home become like this!?"

The youth frowned as he looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him.

It was evident that no one had lived in this yard for a long time.

Qu Changge looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

He quickly circled around the yard and ran to the front gate, confirming that this was indeed his home.

"How could my parents move? Even if they moved, they wouldn't just abandon this house."

Qu Changge muttered to himself in a low voice, but a twisting pain surged in his heart, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. His dark red eyes also glowed with a crimson light, as if blood that had not yet dried was about to spill out.

He suppressed the pain and trembling in his heart, ran to the street, and asked the passersby about what happened to the Qu family.

But when the passersby saw his dark red eyes that resembled blood, they all looked like frightened rabbits, their faces changed drastically, and they ran away in fear.

Finally, a peddler, trembling with fear, said, "I don't know what the Qu family did, but a year ago, the whole family was killed. I heard that the case still hasn't been solved."

As soon as the words fell...

Boom!

Qu Changge felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his brain seemed to explode.

He stumbled and half-knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"No, no, no!!! This can't be possible!"

He muttered in disbelief, images of his parents' loving and kind faces, and his sister's innocent and adorable appearance flashed through his mind.

He couldn't believe that his parents, his sister, and Uncle Xu and Auntie were all dead.

But now the truth was right in front of him, and he couldn't find any explanation.

"Ah!!!"

Qu Changge let out a long howl to the sky, his eyes splitting open, leaving behind two lines of bloody tears, filled with immense grief.

His face contorted in pain, and a crimson lotus mark appeared on his forehead, as if it was about to drip blood. A faint aura of blood surged within him, and a blood-colored phantom of a three-headed, six-armed figure appeared behind him.

What was even more shocking was that his black hair turned white at a visible speed in this moment.

"It's worthy of being the Demon Spirit Root. Just being baptized by the blood of the Demon Lord, without even starting cultivation, it can stimulate the hidden demonic blood within his body."

Inside the courtyard, the young man looked at Qu Changge's condition and chuckled lightly.

"Master, will he think that we are responsible for this and bear a grudge against us?" the old man asked cautiously.

"So what if he bears a grudge? It's only with resentment that one can find motivation."

"With his potential, as long as he cultivates diligently, it will take at most a hundred years to condense the Demon Body. What I want is for him to condense the Demon Body as quickly as possible and cultivate it to perfection."

The young man said indifferently, a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, Qu Changge, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, gasping for breath, and took a deep breath. He clenched his fists, trembling all over, and walked into the courtyard.

With a ferocious expression and eyes as dark as blood, he shouted at the young man and the old man, "Was it you who did this!?"

"Insolence!"

Upon hearing Qu Changge's words, the old man immediately rebuked, emitting an imposing aura that made Qu Changge feel as if he was being crushed and unable to breathe.

The young man waved his hand and looked at Qu Changge, saying, "Today, I will teach you the first lesson. Don't act impulsively in anything you do. Think thrice before you act."

"What's the point of questioning and accusing me in such an impulsive manner?"

"Whether I did it or not, what difference does it make if I did or didn't?"

"Your behavior is extremely foolish. Besides futile rage, it will only bring trouble upon yourself and ultimately lead to your untimely death. You won't be able to accomplish anything."

"Remember, in this world, only your own strength is eternal!"

"You possess the Demon Spirit Root and have been baptized by the blood of the Demon Lord. You are an unparalleled genius in cultivating the demonic path."

"What you need to do now is to endure, focus on cultivation, and investigate the truth when you have the strength, seeking revenge for your parents and family."

"However, considering this is your first offense, I won't hold it against you."

The young man spoke calmly.

"Alright, you've finished reading. Now come with me."

The young man's words fell.

The three of them turned into a divine rainbow and disappeared from the courtyard.

Qingzhu Valley.

Inside a manor.

"Hurry, don't be idle; when faced with injustice, rely on your own strength."

"Don't provoke enemies, prioritize harmony; if enemies arise, strike first."

"Desires lead to calamity; prioritize peace, then cultivate oneself."

Lu Changsheng held a wooden board, teaching the Three-Character Classic to Lu Ping'an, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Wuyou, a few little ones.

"Husband, it's time for dinner."

"What are you teaching them?"

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun came over to call Lu Changsheng for dinner.

"They are already three or four years old. I made up something for them to read as enlightenment."

Lu Changsheng stood up and smiled, inviting the group of little ones into the house to eat.

Lu Miaoyun also knew that her husband, despite being from a humble farming background, was very studious and often read books.

So it was normal for him to come up with some spoken language for enlightenment.

It's just that the sentences for enlightenment sounded strange to her.

She didn't pay too much attention to it either, and her bright face showed a sweet smile as she said, "For enlightenment, there is a White Lu Manor in Qingzhu Mountain. There are secular scholars inside. Husband, you can send Ping'an and the others there for enlightenment."

"Husband is usually busy, so let me take care of these things."

Lu Miaoyun spoke up.

"Let's wait until they are a little older. Next year, we can send them all together."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

This White Lu Manor was located within Qingzhu Mountain, not far away, so it was convenient for the wives to pick up and drop off the children every day.

After all, he didn't have time to teach these children, and even if he did, he might not be able to teach them well.

And Lu Changsheng didn't have too many expectations for these children.

As long as they grow up safely and don't go astray, it's enough for him as their father.

He didn't have the same expectations as most parents, hoping for their children to become dragons and phoenixes.

There wasn't much to hope for, mainly because he had a system and knew that only Xiaoqi and Xiaoshiqi among these children had spiritual roots.

The other children didn't have spiritual roots and could only go to the secular world in the future.

With him as their father, these children would be superior to ninety percent of ordinary people when they entered the secular world. Even if they worked hard, it would only be to that extent.

Of course, it didn't mean that he had no expectations at all.

He also planned to let these children practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies when they grew up, achieving the Innate level in martial arts.

Then, they could establish a martial arts family in the secular world, branching out for the old Lu family.

To be honest, with him helping, these two things weren't difficult at all.

As for Xiaoqi and Xiaoshiqi, Lu Changsheng didn't have too many expectations either.

After all, the quality of their spiritual roots was there.

He was well aware of the difficulties of cultivating with such spiritual roots.

And Lu Changsheng didn't want his children to push themselves too hard and suffer too much. It would be enough if they were average.

After all, haste makes waste. The old Lu family didn't strive for immediate success, but focused on the long-term future.

Lu Changsheng didn't think too much about it and went to the dining hall with Lu Miaoyun and the children.
