Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 154 Key
Yang Qing's face gradually darkened, and his once handsome face now revealed barely suppressed anger.

He originally thought that his father just wanted Lin Feng to return to the family and had called him here to ask for his opinion.

But I never expected it to be for this reason!
A father pleads with his son?
Throughout his entire life, from childhood to adulthood, Yang Qing has never asked anyone for a favor!
Even Yang Qingtian is no exception!
Now, you want to beg a child you abandoned to return to the family?
How ridiculous!

"Now, even if he wanted to come back, he couldn't."

Yang Qing said calmly, but his tone was cold and resolute.

Looking at his thirteen sons, Yang Qingtian felt somewhat helpless.

He had already changed the word "求" to "说", but he didn't expect the reaction to be so strong!
If he were to actually utter the word "beg," Yang Qing would likely be even more enraged.

For a large family, having many descendants and a thriving population is the foundation for its prosperity.

As the Martial King and also the clan leader, Yang Qingtian had eighteen children, which was neither too many nor too few.

Yang Qing was the thirteenth child, but he was the most talented and the most proud.

I've been proud since I was a child.

When children are little, they often whine and beg for things. If they are not given anything, they will cry or even roll on the ground.

But Yang Qing was the only exception.

Even if he really wanted something to eat, he would never ask an adult for it, without exception!

He will only accept it if you give it to him.

Because of this personality, Yang Qing wasn't actually very popular with her elders when she was a child.

However, it is precisely this abnormal pride that makes him unable to tolerate any peers being more outstanding or stronger than him!

This made him more self-disciplined, and he spent almost all his time practicing.

His exceptional talent for cultivation, coupled with his extremely strict self-discipline, is the key to his becoming a leading figure in the Yang clan at such a young age.

Yang Qingtian admired this kind of pride!

However, at this moment, he would rather Yang Qing not be so arrogant.

"You know what this child means to any family!"

Yang Qingtian said in a serious tone:

"Since the spatial rift appeared in 2056 and the other worlds merged, 52 spatial gates have appeared in Beijing. On average, one appears every six years. However, in the last five years, two new spatial gates have appeared in succession, and thus two new 'keys' have appeared."

"Two keys, one was taken by the alien race, and the other by the Chen family. Although the Chen family is not weak, it is far inferior to our ten great families. Why was the Chen family able to take this 'key'? It's because they produced a Chen Xintai, a monstrous talent who is invincible in the sixth rank!"

"You know the importance of the key without me having to tell you; it's a guarantee of a family's strength and influence!"

“Even our Yang family only had two keys a week ago. It was because of these two keys that the family was able to grow and successfully enter the top ten families in the capital.”

"This time you obtained a key in 'Kaiyuan' and made an unparalleled contribution. I didn't want to put you in a difficult position, but I hope you won't forget your surname."

"You are exceptionally talented, but your current achievements are the result of the hard work and resources acquired by tens of thousands of members of your family, which have supported your strength and status today."

"Everything is for the family, even me. This is the guarantee that the Yang family has been able to develop to this day!"

Yang Qingtian said a lot.

Yang Qing remained indifferent and silent.

He naturally knew what a prodigy meant to the family.

That means there could be one key, or even multiple keys!
As for the importance of the key, he understood it even better, because he had one inside his body.

Each door to a different space has a key.

That is the key to becoming an emperor.

Having it increases the success rate of breaking through to the Emperor level.

Some people also call it the 'heart of space'.

Because possessing it allows one to control the central heart of that extradimensional space.

Although it cannot directly control this extradimensional space, it can forcibly close the door to that space.

Of course, no one would do this so easily unless it were an invasion by a foreign race.

Because possessing this key allows one to gather the energy of that other-dimensional space, an energy also known as 'life essence'.

Life essence is extremely precious to cultivators, as it can not only temper the body but also heal injuries.

Once the key is refined, it will be imbued with the aura of its owner, making it impossible to steal and therefore impossible to sell.

Otherwise, a single key could be worth at least hundreds of billions, allowing a small family to rapidly grow and become a large family.

Back then, the Yang family rose to prominence rapidly precisely because of two keys.

The key appears in only two situations.

The first possibility is the emergence of a new extradimensional space. At that time, strange phenomena will appear within the portal to that space, which everyone can perceive. Therefore, every struggle will result in a bloody battle.

The key has a spirit; if it is not taken by someone, it will disappear.

As for when it will appear next, it is not fixed. It could be a month, a year, several years, or even a hundred years.

However, the interdimensional space is very unstable. The lower the level of the portal, the less stable the space is and the more sensitive it is to energy.

Most interdimensional portals have strict restrictions on the strength of those who enter.

High-level martial artists generally do not enter low-level spatial portals.

Because once inside, one's strength will be suppressed.

The stronger the opponent, the more severe the suppression.

Even Yang Qing, whose strength was suppressed, dared not claim to be invincible among his peers.

If you're not careful, you can easily die in a low-level space.

At this point, the value of someone whose strength does not exceed the space's limitations but whose combat power is unmatched among those of the same level becomes apparent.

Yang Qing had participated in the competition for the key three times before.

Humans, demons, and other races—all sorts of geniuses gathered and fought each other.

Even though he was superior to his peers in his youth, Yang Qing was not invincible among his peers; there were some people stronger than him.

He cannot be invincible among those of the same level, let alone among alien races and demons.

Therefore, Yang Qing never succeeded.

He worked hard for eight years to obtain this nine-star key.

For the past eight years, he has suppressed his cultivation speed and has been unable to break through to the Martial King level.

Because once you break through, your strength will be suppressed, and you won't even be able to unleash the power of the Lingyun Realm.

Over the past eight years, his hands have been stained with blood, and he has faced countless dangers before finally obtaining this hard-won key.

Lin Feng, a martial arts prodigy, cultivated at an unbelievable speed. At only 18 years old, he had already mastered two third-grade martial arts techniques!

More importantly, Lin Feng is also a rare combat genius.

Even before he has refined the demon spirit, he already possesses the potential to be invincible among those of the same level!
Once he refines the Earth Ranking Demon Spirit, he will undoubtedly be an invincible being among those of the same rank!
Such a genius is extremely important to any family!
Even the Yang family was no exception.

"Previously, although he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he had not yet refined the demon spirit, so only the Glory Professional League paid attention to him."

“Yesterday, he ascended the first throne. His performance has already caught the attention of some powerful families, and even high-ranking officials and the military.”

"Now that he has broken through to the second rank, he has shown an invincible attitude among those of the same level. I know that someone has already begun to take action!"

Yang Qingtian said with a hint of worry in his voice.

This is also why he couldn't wait to bring Lin Feng back.

"You were the one who called me back!"

Yang Qing was silent for a moment before speaking.

"That woman, you ordered me to marry her too!"

It was because of his father's orders that he returned to the family, married the woman who could help him and the family, and abandoned his former home!
They abandoned that child!
Now, the father is making him beg that child to return to the family.

How could I possibly bring myself to say that?
"I regret it!" Yang Qingtian said.

He truly regretted it. If he had known earlier that Lin Feng was so exceptionally talented, he would never have made that decision 13 years ago.

Lin Feng is more valuable than Yang Qing marrying that woman.

I regret!

Yang Qing's expression changed slightly at her father's words, and the dissatisfaction on her face gradually disappeared.

He was very proud.

But the father was equally proud.

This was the first time Yang Qing had heard her father say he regretted it.

“If you’re unwilling, then I’ll go and talk to them!” Yang Qingtian said.

Standing there in silence for a long time, under his father's gaze, Yang Qing finally spoke:

"He's going to enter the Demon Spirit Realm in two days. If he can refine a ninth-tier demon spirit, I will personally go to Guanglin!"

After speaking, Yang Qing bowed slightly and turned to leave.

This was also the last bit of pride he maintained.
