March 10th.

It has been over a month since the great battle with the Empress, Lin Shuwang. After my cultivation was crippled, my body has been deteriorating day by day.

I am very glad that my Ye family has been promoted to an Immortal Aristocrat Clan and now controls ninety-nine of the world's Spiritual Veins.

Using my single life in exchange for the prosperity of the entire Ye family... it was worth it.

.......

May 18th.

Three months have passed. My path of cultivation is completely severed. The Dao Wound within my body cannot be healed.

Father no longer smiles at me. My sisters no longer cling to me. Instead, they all gather around Ye Xuan.

......

August 15th.

Tonight's moon is very round, but I was not allowed to attend the Ye family's Mid-Autumn banquet.

My cultivation resources have been stripped away. The monthly allowance belonging to a Holy Son has been docked again and again.

Father has begun to find me useless. My sisters do not want to talk to me. They do not even have the time to say a single word to me.

They all seem very busy. Very busy.

I do not know what I did wrong.

.......

September 21st.

Today is a good day. I discovered that although my Chaos God Physique is shattered, the Chaos Qi has dissolved into my flesh and bones.

Using my own blood as a guide, I refined a Chaos Blood Pill that can help others cultivate and improve their aptitude. I refined a batch and gave one to Eldest Sister.

Eldest Sister was in Secluded Cultivation. She looked very impatient when she saw me. Before I could even finish speaking, she struck me with a palm and sent me flying off the cliff.

If not for an old pine tree halfway down the mountain catching my body, I think...

I would have fallen to my death, right?

But why didn't the fall kill me?

Dying would have been a release.

.......

Patter!

Patter!!

Ye Lingyue flipped through the yellowed rice paper, unable to control her sobbing. Tears as large as beans streamed down her cheeks, drop after drop falling onto the diary Chu Chen had left behind.

\"Chu Chen, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!\"

\"Eldest Sister almost killed you! It's Eldest Sister who wronged you!\"

Ye Lingyue finally remembered the whole incident.

This trivial matter, insignificant in her eyes, had been fatal for Chu Chen back then!

That day, Ye Lingyue's cultivation had reached a Bottleneck, and she was about to enter Secluded Cultivation.

Distracted and irritable, she saw Chu Chen run up to her dressed in dirty clothes. Ye Lingyue naturally had no time for him. Without waiting for Chu Chen to speak, she casually waved her hand, and a gust of wind blew Chu Chen off the cliff.

Heavens bear witness, although Lingyue Peak was very high...

But at that time, Ye Lingyue had forgotten that Chu Chen had lost his cultivation and was just a mortal. She thought...

She thought that the Chu Chen she pushed off the cliff could use Sword Riding, control a Dharma Treasure, and soar through the clouds and mist...

The diary was very, very thick, but Ye Lingyue no longer had the courage to read on.

She suddenly felt like a sinner, utterly unqualified to lecture Ye Ling'er and her other younger sisters.

\"Chu Chen, come back quickly! Come back to the Ye family!\"

\"Eldest Sister... Eldest Sister will definitely make it up to you!!\"

......

Wenxuan Peak.

Among the younger generation of the Ye family, this was the most magnificent and towering peak.

Within it grew countless Spirit Grasses and spiritual plants, herds of Spirit Beasts roamed, and a waterfall cascaded down from the summit.

Truly, it was a place of concentrated spiritual essence and outstanding talent.

A Spiritual Vein ran straight through Wenxuan Peak, its Spiritual Qi so dense it was nearly liquefied.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if a pig were placed on Wenxuan Peak with such rich Spiritual Qi for ten years, that pig would awaken its spiritual wisdom, embark on the path of cultivation, and become a powerful pig demon.

This was Ye Xuan's Dao Field. Of course...

It was once Chu Chen's Dao Field as well.

\"I am going into Secluded Cultivation. No one is to disturb me!\"

After rushing back to Wenxuan Peak, Ye Xuan spoke to the servants greeting him without even looking back.

\"Yes... yes, Master.\"

A servant girl with a graceful figure and a face full of allure had just stepped forward to welcome him. Hearing that Ye Xuan wanted to enter Secluded Cultivation the moment he returned, her face filled with disappointment.

In the past, every time Ye Xuan returned to Wenxuan Peak, he would...

He would pull her into Secluded Cultivation with him~

Only she knew that Ye Xuan, who was only twelve or thirteen and looked honest and simple, actually...

Played quite wildly~

......

In the secret chamber, Ye Xuan first activated several Formations to conceal his aura, then took off the black ring on his ring finger. Only then did he stand respectfully to the side and bow.

Whoosh!!

After doing all this, an extremely powerful soul force suddenly surged from the pitch-black ring, filling the entire secret chamber and blocking all external detection.

Following that, Old Dan's illusory soul body slowly rose from within the ring.

\"Old Dan, Chu Chen... he... he...\"

As soon as Old Dan appeared, Ye Xuan excitedly began to speak. But before he could finish his sentence, his body flew backward and slammed heavily into the stone wall of the secret chamber.

Bang!!

A vicious slap whistled through the air.

When he climbed back up, Ye Xuan's right cheek was swelling at a visible rate.

\"Hmph, you little thing. You should be glad that Chu Chen is still alive, otherwise...\"

Old Dan, now only a soul body, stared at Ye Xuan with a face full of Killing Intent. His eyes were filled with contempt and mockery, looking at Ye Xuan as if he were a mere ant that could be discarded at any time.

\"Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a slap. I would use a sharp blade to pierce your heart, then draw out your soul, making you suffer the torment of raging fire day and night, unable to live, unable to die!!\"

Old Dan was furious. The Ye family had finally produced a Child of Providence like Chu Chen.

As long as Chu Chen was there, the Ye family-including his own deceased soul body-would be blessed with great Providence. Restoring his cultivation and reforming his physical body would have been just around the corner.

But this useless Ye Xuan, in order to snatch Chu Chen's position as Holy Son, had secretly fanned the flames and schemed to frame Chu Chen.

Now look what happened. He directly forced Chu Chen away.

From then on, the Ye family's Providence scattered, and Calamity Qi arose. It wasn't just the Ye family members who were affected; Old Dan was also dragged down with them.

\"Old... Teacher, calm down. Teacher, calm down.\"

Ye Xuan knelt on the ground. After being struck, he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. He was as humble as a dog.

Cowering and begging for mercy.

Ye Xuan never imagined that Old Dan, who used to be kind, benevolent, and treated him like a blood grandson, would change his attitude so drastically after Chu Chen betrayed the Ye family.

Not only did he hit and scold him at every turn, but the look in his eyes was also filled with genuine Killing Intent and anger.

That sharp Killing Intent couldn't be faked.

Ye Xuan had no doubt that if Chu Chen were really dead, he would probably...

Not live to see tomorrow!

Damn old thing, so he was just using me all along.

......

\"It was Xuan'er who was too impulsive. It was Xuan'er's fault.\"

\"But Teacher, rest assured, Chu Chen isn't dead yet, right? Besides, Fath... Besides, the Ye family head, Ye Ding, has personally written a letter ordering Chu Chen to return to the Ye family.\"

The hatred in Ye Xuan's eyes flashed and disappeared, hidden perfectly. This White Lotus was of a high caliber.

Before his transmigration on Blue Star, he spent all day either licking the boots of his boss or fawning over his girlfriend. Flattery came naturally to him.

\"Xuan'er believes it won't be long before that wast... before Chu Chen obediently rolls back to the Ye family. After all, Chu Chen has always put the Ye family and family ties first. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his own blood as a guide to refine the Chaos Blood Pill for the Ye family.\"

Hearing this, Old Dan's anger subsided by half.

As long as Chu Chen returned to the Ye family, the scattered Providence of the Ye family would gather again, and Old Dan's speed of restoring his cultivation would surely increase significantly. By then...

Earlier, in the Ye family's main hall, because Ye Shanhe, the Ye family ancestor, was present, Old Dan didn't dare to show himself.

But although he was hiding in the ring, he could perceive everything happening outside through his soul power.

Especially after hearing that Chu Chen was not only alive but had also restarted his cultivation path, breaking through to the ninth level of the Essence Condensation Realm in less than a month, Old Dan was overjoyed. An even more sinister plan appeared in Old Dan's mind.

Once Chu Chen returned to the Ye family, Old Dan could choose a new Host.

This Ye Xuan not only had poor aptitude, but he also transmigrated from some Blue Star, his mind full of women. He had a small vision and a narrow mind, making it difficult for him to achieve anything.

But Chu Chen was a Child of Providence, possessing supreme Providence. Proving his Dao and becoming an Emperor was only a matter of time.

\"Forget it. My strictness towards you is also for your own good.\"

Old Dan took a deep breath. Looking at Ye Xuan kneeling before him like a dog, he hid his true intentions and began to soothe him.

\"I know that because of your poor aptitude, you wanted to take Chu Chen's position as Holy Son and monopolize the Ye family's cultivation resources to break through your Bottleneck.\"

\"In two days, the Flame Divine Mountain secret realm will open. Before Chu Chen returns to the Ye family, you can go and explore this secret realm first. If you can refine the Strange Fire within it for your own use, it can make up for your lack of aptitude.\"

Whoosh-

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Xuan, who had been kneeling on the ground like a dead dog, instantly became excited. His face flushed red and his neck thickened, burning with desire.

Strange Fire!

That was a strange flame born between heaven and earth at the dawn of creation. It was often born in underground magma and volcanic clusters. Each type possessed an extremely terrifying high temperature, capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and refining the universe.

This was a Fated Chance belonging to him, Ye Xuan. He had to obtain it!!
