I Have a Soul-Swallowing Stone

Qin Xin, a young man from the Qin Clan, had his martial bones stolen by his own clansmen. However, he accidentally acquired a Soul-Swallowing Stone and obtained the Supreme Divine Soul Art, embarki...

Chapter 1: Martial Bone Stripped Away, Unexpectedly Obtaining Ancient Inheritance

Tianyuan City.

Qin Family Manor, Council Hall.

“Father, in the past three years, the clan has wasted countless resources to save that good-for-nothing Qin Xin. It’s time to stop.”

"Alas! If it weren't for Qin Xin's father back then, there would be no Tianyuan Qin Clan today. If that person were still alive, Qin Haotian wouldn't dare to act recklessly in my Tianyuan Qin Clan."

"Now that Qin Haotian has reached the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, he will surely become the leading figure of the Qin Clan in the future. It would be detrimental to our Tianyuan Qin Clan to offend such a person for the sake of Qin Xin."

The gray-robed old man sitting in the main hall had a furrowed brow and a somewhat gloomy expression. Behind him, a black tiger seemed to be stepping on lightning, radiating waves of heat and giving people a sense of oppression.

"Shut up, all of you!"

"We'll discuss everything once Qin Xin wakes up!"

Seeing the old man in gray robes get angry, none of the clansmen dared to say anything more.

The Qin clan of Tianyuan City was merely a collateral branch. Back then, Qin Xin's martial bone was taken away by Qin Haotian. Qin Lin wanted to stop it, but as a member of the Qin clan, he had powerful guards protecting him, so he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Later, Qin Lin went to the clan to seek justice, but the collateral branches had too little say. In the end, the clan only provided some cultivation resources as compensation, and the matter was dropped. Qin Lin has always felt guilty about this.

"Father, if Qin Xin remains unable to wake up, are we just going to keep dragging this on like this?"

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?! All of you, get out! I'm tired!"

"Qianfan, you stay."

Seeing the anger on Qin Lin's face, Qin Qianfan dared not say anything and stood respectfully to the side to wait.

"Qian Fan, Qin Haotian's sudden visit back then shouldn't have had anything to do with you, right?"

"No, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Upon hearing his father's question, Qin Qianfan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head in denial.

"Hmph! I hope not!"

Qin Lin knew his son very well; he wouldn't betray the family, but he always felt that something was being hidden.

~~~~~~

Qin Clan Mountain Villa, northwest corner.

In a secluded courtyard, covered in dust, it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

In the dimly lit room, the boy lay flat on the bed, his pale face devoid of color. In the dim light, his resolute features were faintly visible, and his deep eyes were tightly closed. If it weren't for the faint breath he exhaled from his nose, he could easily be mistaken for being dead.

"No one will help you!"

"If you obediently offer your blood to help me refine this martial bone, perhaps I'll consider sparing your life!"

A cold, indifferent face appeared before my eyes, and I couldn't erase it.

"Qin Haotian!"

As if in a final burst of energy, the boy suddenly opened his eyes and let out a roar from his cracked lips.

This roar seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His eyes became very heavy and gradually lost their light. He felt so sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

"Am I going to die again?" the boy murmured weakly.

This young man is named Qin Xin. He does not belong to this world; he can be described as a transmigrator with memories of his past life.

In his previous life, he was just a recent college graduate who suddenly encountered a misfortune. In a daze, he seemed to be encased in a stone. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this new world.

Qin Xin, a newcomer, was filled with curiosity about this new world.

Because this new world is a world of martial artists.

The martial artists here all possess a special talent: martial spirit.

To become a martial artist, one must awaken a martial spirit.

Martial spirits are infinitely varied; anything existing in nature can become a martial spirit. If a martial spirit takes the form of a beast, it is called a beast martial spirit; if it takes the form of an object, it is called an object martial spirit; there are also plant martial spirits, star martial spirits…

Of course, there are also mutated martial spirits and the legendary holy martial spirits and divine martial spirits, which are all more powerful than ordinary martial spirits.

Based on the strength of the spiritual power when a Martial Spirit awakens, the Martial Spirit's rank is divided into one star to nine stars, from low to high.

The higher the level of a martial spirit, the easier it is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. One cycle of cultivation is equivalent to several cycles for a low-level martial spirit.

Therefore, the higher the spiritual power of a martial spirit when a martial artist awakens, the stronger the martial artist's cultivation talent.

Unlike other transmigrators who, upon arriving in a new world, either encounter extraordinary adventures or have an old man suddenly appear in their rings, Qin Xin experienced none of these.

Qin Xin might be considered an unlucky guy. Not only does he lack any invincible martial spirit, but he has also spent more than ten years in a daze without any extraordinary encounters.

Although he had some fame within the clan, this was also what frustrated him the most.

Because his martial spirit was a short black stick with almost no spiritual power, Qin Xin was labeled a "waste".

He had originally thought of fighting against fate, but he failed in many attempts.

Just as he began to give up resistance, choosing to lie down and accept this ordinary life.

Who would have thought?

At the age of fifteen, while he was cultivating, his bloodline power suddenly surged, and he condensed a martial bone. Only a few people in the clan knew about this.

Legend has it that he was born with martial prowess, and all spirits submitted to him.

Originally, the high-ranking members of the Tianyuan Qin Clan were overjoyed when they sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy within the clan. As a collateral branch of the Qin Clan, they finally had hope of rising to power. However, when they discovered that the strange phenomenon originated from the residence of Qin Xin, who possessed a useless martial spirit, they all expressed their regret.

While the condensation of martial bones is a once-in-a-millennium event, Qin Xin's martial spirit power was simply too low, and even martial bones could not compensate for it.

But it was different for Qin Xin.

The unexpected condensation of his martial bone made him feel overjoyed, as this might be an opportunity for his rise to power. Moreover, after the condensation of his martial bone, he even felt that his martial spirit had undergone some changes.

However, it was precisely because he had condensed this martial bone that Qin Xin brought trouble upon himself, and the clan's once-in-a-millennium genius took notice of him.

This person is Qin Haotian.

Just as Qin Xin was still basking in the joy of having just condensed his martial bone, Qin Haotian suddenly arrived in Tianyuan City with several people and used a secret technique to forcibly separate the martial bone that had not yet merged with him.

His martial bones were stripped away, and his martial spirit was shattered.

Although Qin Haotian spared his life, it was all for the purpose of continuously extracting his blood to refine his martial bones, making them more compatible with his own.

This state of wanting to die but not being able to, wanting to live but being unable to escape, truly tormented him.

The elders and clan leader dared not offend these people, and could only watch helplessly as Qin Xin's martial bones were stripped away and devoured.

"This is so frustrating!"

Qin Xin took a sip, then closed his eyes somewhat unwillingly, feeling his heartbeat slow down and his blood flow decrease.

Just as he awaited death, his vision suddenly blurred, and a blurry, greenish-blue stone shadow abruptly floated before his eyes.

It's that stone!

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised. He remembered that he had come to this world with this stone. It had appeared when he awakened his martial spirit, as if it was absorbing some kind of energy, but then it suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes, without deliberately searching, the stone will suddenly appear in your dream; but if you try to find it intentionally, it will disappear without a trace.

This time, the stone actually appeared on its own!

For him now, the appearance of this stone has brought him some comfort.

"Since we came together, you should be taking me with you when you leave, right?"

Qin Xin focused all his attention on the green stone.

The green stone shimmered with light, and several mysterious energies suddenly surged forth.

"pain!"

At this moment, Qin Xin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. Several mysterious energies kept crashing around, as if they were going to shred his brain.

Qin Xin, who never expected to suffer again before his death, gritted his teeth and persevered, but at this moment his heart was already racing with a thousand horses.

"Come on! I'll still be a hero eighteen years from now!"

A silent roar resounded in his heart.

"Thump!!!"

Suddenly, Qin Xin felt a loud bang in his mind. In that instant, he felt more comfortable than ever before, and even his soul felt lighter. It was as if something in his head had been broken through.

At that moment, a very strange change occurred before his eyes.

In a gray, hazy space, a green stone floats.

In the next instant, a golden light flashed, and terrifying information flooded into his mind!

Before Qin Xin's eyes, it seemed as if an ancient scroll was slowly unfolding, like a legacy from ancient times that could not be described in words.

The Supreme Divine Derivation Formula

"In the beginning of chaos, a tree was born, which absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, and seized the creation of heaven and earth..."

"Wood turns to stone, severing the connection between heaven and earth..."

"Once the Niwan Palace is opened, one can engage in spiritual cultivation. A spiritual cultivator can control wind and rain, and govern all laws of nature with a single thought, becoming immortal and indestructible..."
