What if I plan on using Yan Jingfei as a pawn but due to an unexpected turn of events, she still takes away the inheritance anyways?
At this thought, Jiang Ruyin couldn’t help but become even more angry and restless.

She knew that once Yan Jingfei found out that the original Jiang Ruyin was the cause of her death in the previous timeline, she would certainly come to kill her this time.
That was unless she had already become far stronger than Yan Jingfei by the time the truth was revealed to the latter.
All the powerful friends of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm I have made have left for the Prodigy Convention of the Eastern Continent, so I can’t contact anyone either.
Damn it!
Gritting her teeth, Jiang Ruyin suddenly stood up and asked in an exasperated tone of voice, "When will the eldest brother come out of seclusion?"
Hearing her words, Jiang Ruyin’s maid was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashing across her otherwise emotionless face before she hid it.
Jiang Ruyin’s eldest brother, the crown prince of the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty, and the former greatest prodigy of the current generation who’s name was enough to make countless enemies of the Great Jiang tremble in fear!
The God of War, Jiang Chengxuan!
He was the only one in the current generation who had already entered seclusion to breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm and would most probably be the first Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator of the current generation.
"His highness the crown prince has yet to come out of seclusion, your highness. I don’t think he will come out anytime soon as well. Breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Realm is not an easy task."
The maid replied, looking downwards again.
Jiang Ruyin let out a sigh before she looked towards a certain direction out of the window.
"Have the Lin Family’s fifth miss and the Shen Family’s second young master also gone to the Eastern Continent’s Prodigy Convention?"
She asked again, her eyes showing a hint of determination.
"Yes, your highness. They are not in the Central Continent right now as well."
Jiang Ruyin almost burst into anger before her maid continued speaking.
"However, the ninth young master of the Tian Family hasn’t left as he was in seclusion for breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm. He possesses the Holy Whirlwind Constitution and is a genius with potential on par with the Divinity Transcendence Venerable, making his words extremely powerful in the Great Tian Immortal Family."
As soon as she heard this, Jiang Ruyin froze in place.
Tian Zhenxuan.
He was a minor antagonist in the original novel, the youngest son of the Tian Family’s current head, a lecherous, sinister person who wanted to make Yan Jingfei his Dao Companion, and he even teamed up with the original Jiang Ruyin for this purpose.
If I remember correctly, even though his potential was on par with Wang Daoyun, he was too lazy and never cultivated properly. Even the Holy Whirlwind Constitution of his was actually stolen using some means from a nameless character who was from a branch family of the Tian Family which was destroyed.
Despite having great resources, and the stolen Holy Whirlwind Constitution which put his talent on par with the greatest prodigies in the world, he only managed to reach the Void Refinement Realm just now while he could’ve been easily at the peak of Void Refinement Realm if he cultivated seriously.
Do I really have to ask him for help?
As she thought of all that, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
"No. I’ll find a way somehow, but I won’t take help from that person."
She said before slumping back onto the couch besides the window, gazing outside as she waved her wind dismissively.
Her maid just nodded her head and spoke in a low voice before disappearing into thin air, "As you wish, your highness."
Yes, I’m thinking too much.
There are still hundreds of years till Yan Jingfei arrives here in the Central Continent. By then, I’ll have figured out a way.
What could go wrong, anyways?
...
"In less than a hundred years, I’ll enter the Void Refinement Realm and go to the Central Continent to retrieve the inheritance from my past life."
Yan Jingfei muttered to herself as she gazed outside of her daoist temple, taking in the dark clouds and rainy weather.
Even now, everything feels so surreal.
From me regressing back in time to meeting master and then master changing the course of the entire timeline and fate.
I didn’t do anything, it was all master who did it.
A being unrestricted by fate and obeyed by the heavenly rules...I wonder if I can become like that too..
As she was thinking of this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the door of the daoist temple.
The door opened automatically and a kid, seemingly 10 or 11 years old, ran inside and immediately sat down in front of Yan Jingfei.
He had a childlike, cute appearance, a fair complexion, golden eyes, and two golden colored horns on his head.
Indeed, he was none other than Ao Longchen.
He had learned how to transform into his human form some time ago, but it seemed that his current dragon age was around that of a 10 year old human child.
His appearance caused quite a commotion in the Eternal Peak back then, but it was quickly cleared out by Su Yanlan.
Until now, no one knew the actual origins of Ao Longchen except for the fact that he was related to the Master of Eternal Peak.
Of course, many people had guesses about the two golden horns on his head and some even begun associating Tian Yongheng with the Dragon Race, but they recieved now answers and the rumors quickly died down before they could reach the outside world.
Seeing him, an adoring expression appeared on Yan Jingfei’s face, but her eyes showed slight shock as she asked, "You have broken through to the Third Stage of Golden Core Realm?"
How many years has it been since he began to cultivate?
A True Dragon’s potential is indeed otherworldly.
She couldn’t help but let out a small sigh.
"Yes, senior sister, I wanted to surprise you, that was why I first showed up here after breaking through!"
Ao Longchen spoke excitedly, causing Yan Jingfei to pat his head while praising him.
Soon, he explained about his cultivation experience and asked his doubts, most of which Yan Jingfei patiently answered, but some of them even she couldn’t find an answer to.
A True Dragon’s comprehension is terrifying as well...
She couldn’t help but think, showing a helpless expression.
"Senior sister, is immortality the end of cultivation?"
Ao Longchen asked again, his eyes glimming with curiosity.
"Of course not. Immortal Cultivation is an endless path. There are definitely realms beyond immortality too."
Yan Jingfei replied, her interest also piqued by this question.
"Then what are those realms? What is beyond immortality?"
"Beyond immortality-"
Before she could say anything, Yan Jingfei realized that she herself did not know what lay beyond immortality, as she herself wasn’t even an Immortal.
"I don’t know. Ask master when he comes out of seclusion."
In the end, she could only resort to her final move, which she always used whenever Ao Longchen asked something beyond her expectations.
"But it’s been so long...when will master exit seclusion?"
Ao Longchen’s expression dropped as he asked in a low voice.
"Well, master’s seclusion period has always been unpredictable. But he’s been in seclusion for quite some time, so I think he should be coming out soon."
Yan Jingfei said, turning her gaze towards the direction of the main peak as her Divine Sense poked out of the daoist temple.
"You can go and ask Supreme Yanlan or Supreme Yunchen as well. Supreme Yanlan is almost at the peak of Golden Core Realm whole Supreme Yunchen is at the Void Refinement Realm."
Seeing Ao Longchen sad expression, Yan Jingfei spoke kindly and patted his head one last time before he went out to find Su Yanlan.
As his human form was still a kid, he was treated as such by all the core members of the Eternal Peak.
Thus, he could get away with many things, including annoying them.
After Ao Longchen went away, Yan Jingfei looked towards the main peak once more.
It really has been quite a while since master came out of seclusion. Is he breaking through to an even higher realm?
Despite being already so powerful, he can still advance his cultivation base so rapidly.
Both of us have our past life memories, then why is the difference so vast?
Is it because I traveled back in time and he was reincarnated directly?
Or is it the gap in knowledge and master simply possesses more as his cultivation base was probably much higher than mine in his past life?
Or is it...the gap in talent?
The last one seems to be most likely the case.
She slowly took a deep breath, clearing out her mind as she closed her eyes.
If so, then I’ll have to work even harder to keep up with those around me.
Even if they’re all people with great Providence, so am I!
