Yan Qingcheng deeply respected her father and didn't want discord. She added, "I've begun studying the Heavenly Emperor Fist, but its reincarnation intent eludes . Real combat might help grasp it, greatly aiding my upcoming Mahayana cultivation."
Hearing this, the golden-robed elder had no objections. Anything benefiting his daughter's cultivation, he supported. As a veteran, he knew the value of biding ti, but his young daughter needed to experience truths firsthand. Suppressing her wasn't ideal. With the immortal path yet to open and many unique beings still dormant, major forces wouldn't act recklessly. Letting her dominate lesser foes to build an invincible will was fine.
Her earlier words also stirred him. Ye Chen was ant as a shield, but his monstrous talent risked enmity with his daughter, countering his intent. Only slightly inferior to her, if she aided him now, he'd be grateful. Not allegiance, but a bond.
When she revealed herself later, given Ye Chen's character, he'd likely fall at her feet. ntioning her prior aid then would ensure his devotion, serving her immortal path.
Ye Chen's strength made him an ideal vanguard for her. This era was wild—rumors confird a True Immortal's child, born flawed, was sealed in a divine source with vast treasures and arrays to perfect and enhance them, nearing ergence.
In past eras, a Heavy Pupil could easily ascend; now, even a Chaos Body might struggle alone. Ye Chen's support would bolster her. The elder said no more, fearing to annoy her. He'd personally guard her to prevent mishaps.
…
In Central Continent's Lan Family, a top ancient clan, an old woman with silver hair, exuding decay, her vitality like a flickering candle, gazed kindly at her gathered descendants. They looked worried—her lifespan had re months left.
"I'll beg the clan elders for a longevity pill again!" one descendant said, rising angrily.
She smiled, shaking her head. "Sit down. The clan has three longevity pills, reserved for the immortal path, only for those above Immortal Platform Fifth Heaven. A Unity cultivator like using one is wasteful—the clan won't allow it. I've lived long enough. A few more centuries an little."
Stolen story; please report.
She was at peace, but her descendants couldn't bear it. This grandmother had devoted her life to them. They ntioned the Endless Sea's human-shaped longevity dicine, but it was a prodigy battlefield—most lacked confidence.
A cold voice rang out, "No need to worry. I'll act."
All turned to see a graceful woman in a light cyan dress, with an elegant oval face, approaching. The Lan Family's younger generation revered her—Lan Nuo, their generation's face, born with Heavy Pupils, fad across the Central Continent, a strong immortal path contender.
Seeing Lan Nuo, the old woman smiled but shook her head, chiding, "Too many people there—so might sche against you. Stay and keep your great-grandma company instead."
Lan Nuo shook her head. "No matter. If anyone's fated to claim the longevity dicine, it's . I'll return swiftly."
Her cyan dress fluttered, Heavy Pupils swirling with chaos, forming a passage. Her graceful figure stepped in, vanishing with the portal.
Great-grandma frowned, puzzled. "Nuonuo used to be talkative, always smiling with those cute tiger teeth… Why's she so cold now?"
No one dared answer.
After a pause, Lan Nuo's parents hesitantly transmitted, "During Deity Transformation, she got hooked on storybooks, always saying true prodigies shine before others…"
The old woman sank into confusion.
…
Great Yan Continent, Ascension Peak, Holy Son's Cave Abode.
As his aura stabilized, Ye Chen exhaled a dragon-like white breath, surrounded by Dao charms, like an exiled immortal. Feeling his cultivation shift, he smirked. He'd reached mid-Unity realm in just over six months since acquiring the Immortal Guiding Scripture.
Such speed was absurd—even Refining Qi breakthroughs weren't this fast. Even Ye Chen hadn't expected the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo plus the scripture to be this potent.
"Mid-Unity took half a year. Late-Unity might take a year. With so buildup to peak, the entire Unity realm won't even need two and a half years."
He grinned—faster was better. In two and a half years, Heavenly Desire Goddess Fan Qinghe would still be stuck in early Unity, letting him gift her more Dao charms for greater feedback, straight to the top.
Rising to leave, he sensed soone waiting outside. Stepping out, he saw Ascension Peak disciple Mo Yuzhu holding a jade slip, eyes lighting up as she bowed. "Holy Son, a ssage from Green Cloud Sect."
Green Cloud Sect? Ye Chen frowned. Had the old Sect Master died? Taking the slip, he checked its contents and sighed in relief. The old Sect Master was still alive…
