Within the Ye Clan territory, immortal mist drifted ethereally.
A tiny figure sat cross-legged at the center of a lake, swallowing spiritual energy from hundreds of miles around like a whale sucking in water.
Boundless divine light erupted from his body, drawing down countless laws that manifested as immortals descending from the heavens, a bright moon rising over the sea, or dragons and phoenixes presenting auspicious signs. Innumerable phenomena appeared one after another.
"Hundred thousand Reverse Fate Points in talent… Truly terrifying!"
The child-like figure sitting at the center of the lake opened his eyes. His gaze was bright yet profound, interwoven with incomprehensible runes that constantly flickered between life and death.
Ten years had already passed since Su Chen reincarnated into the Ye Clan.
In this life, he possessed an illustrious background as the heir of an Emperor clan. His talent was unmatched. On the day of his birth, the imprint of a Great Emperor had descended to bestow blessings, and Emperor Dao energy had poured down upon him. Moreover, he was born with the legendary taboo physique—the Flying Immortal Dao Body—which granted him an indescribable forbidden power. It was said to be a constitution destined for the Dao, granting invincibility from the moment of birth.
However, Su Chen's gifts did not end there. His pupils had inherited the renowned Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes, allowing him to see through any Dao technique with ease.
The combination of Emperor Dao energy, the Flying Immortal Dao Body, and the Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes had created a monster. And that monster was Su Chen in this life.
From birth, he had been comparable to the young true dragon of legend, already possessing Void Refining realm cultivation. He stood at the endpoint that countless cultivators could only dream of reaching in their entire lives. The Ye Clan had declared him their sole Emperor Son and poured the entire clan's resources into nurturing him. He began cultivating at the age of three, and in merely seven years, he had broken through to the Nirvana realm.
In the current era, Great Emperors still walk the world. However, more than forty thousand years had passed since the Invincible Great Emperor had lived out his second life. Another golden great era was about to begin, and Su Chen had been born right at its dawn.
As time flowed on, Su Chen could not help but sigh inwardly. Indeed, only a great era could produce such talents and bear the emergence of one supreme figure after another, with so many heroes vying for dominance.
In just a few breaths, Su Chen consolidated his Nirvana realm cultivation and gradually withdrew his aura.
Today was his tenth birthday. The Ye Clan had prepared a grand celebration and invited many major forces to build momentum for him.
In other words, they were recruiting investors.
Su Chen waved his sleeve and slowly rose to his feet. Suddenly, his expression changed. He turned to flee, but a golden talisman seal flew over and stuck precisely to his forehead. Golden runes cascaded down, turning into countless streams of light that immobilized him completely.
Su Chen cursed inwardly. He, the mighty Life-Slaughter Demon Lord who had nearly become the Life-Slaughter Demon Emperor, had actually…

Two slender, jade-white hands reached out from the void. Taking advantage of his immobility, they pinched his small face. His fair, rosy cheeks, which looked like fine porcelain, were mercilessly kneaded into a glutinous rice ball.
"Little Chen, where are you trying to run off to?"
A crisp voice rang out from the void as a figure slowly emerged, enveloped in moonlight. She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman whose cold temperament blended with a touch of innocence and liveliness. Her ice-blue eyes smiled as they looked at Su Chen.
Knowing escape was impossible, Su Chen gave up struggling and let the woman knead his face with a look of utter despair. His speech came out muffled as he said, "Young Ancestor… why is it you?"
The woman raised an eyebrow, her hands never stopping their mischief. She smiled with feigned menace and asked, "Little Chen, what did you just call me?"
Su Chen stiffened all over and hastily corrected himself. "Sister Liuli… where are the other ancestors?"
The woman was named Ye Liuli, an extremely ancient existence of the Ye Clan whose strength was unfathomable. She was at least a Great Saint realm expert. Even the other ancestors of the Ye Clan treated her with great respect. No one had ever revealed her origins, but Su Chen suspected that Ye Liuli might be an Emperor Daughter—an offspring of a Great Emperor—who had only emerged in this era.
An Emperor Daughter… a direct descendant of a Great Emperor!
The foundation of the Ye Clan was truly profound.
Ye Liuli waved her hand dismissively and said, "Today is your tenth birthday. Many important figures have come from all over. Some are old friends of the elders, so they went to catch up. Only I had time to spare, so I came to fetch you.
"What? Little fellow, are you really so unwilling to see me?"
Ye Liuli viciously pinched and rubbed Su Chen's small face again.
Su Chen felt helpless inside. When it came to old monsters, he suspected that no one in the entire Ye Clan was older than the woman before him. Even he himself fell short. Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in her eyes, he quickly explained, "No, I really wanted to see Sister Liuli. Even while cultivating, I was constantly thinking about you. I was just surprised that someone of your status would come personally."
Su Chen unleashed a powerful survival instinct. His words made Ye Liuli purse her lips and chuckle softly. "Little fellow, you're so young yet already so smooth-tongued and good at pleasing others. When you grow up, I'm afraid you'll bring disaster to quite a few heavenly maidens."
Su Chen: "..."
Ye Liuli reached out and tore off the golden talisman stuck to Su Chen's forehead. Freed at last, Su Chen did not even look back as he fled the immortal island at top speed. His sudden burst left Ye Liuli momentarily stunned.
"This is the Flying Immortal Dao Body," she murmured. "It is said to possess the profound ability to reverse time and space."
Ye Liuli suddenly whispered to herself, "This little guy… he only knows how to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate all day, like a wooden block. I must guide him onto the right path. Life cannot consist of nothing but dry, tasteless cultivation!
"Unfortunately, those old fellows in the clan refuse to let Little Chen take me as his master no matter what…"
...
After Su Chen left the Ye Clan's immortal island and confirmed that Ye Liuli was not chasing after him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Toward this Young Ancestor of the Ye Clan, he only wanted to keep a respectful distance. He only wanted to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate more. He had no desire to become a woman's plaything.
Su Chen headed toward the main hall of the Ye Clan.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and sucked in a sharp breath.
A wisp of white smoke appeared out of thin air before him. However, the figure within the smoke did not resemble Ye Liuli, so Su Chen quickly swallowed his alarm.
As the white smoke dispersed, an old man sitting cross-legged on a five-colored immortal crane appeared before Su Chen. He held a horsetail whisk and looked every bit the transcendent expert.
Su Chen studied the old man, and the old man studied him in return, his eyes filled with delight.
"It's actually someone from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!"
Su Chen narrowed his large eyes into slits as he watched the old man take out an ancient compass and begin performing divinations.
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was also a powerful orthodox lineage. It was said to trace its roots back to the legendary mythical era. They could calculate the secrets of heaven and had assisted one Great Emperor after another. Their foundation was even more terrifying than that of some lineages that had produced multiple Emperors. The old man before Su Chen was at least a Great Saint… and quite possibly a Quasi-Emperor!
"What audacity! Someone actually dares to divine the fate of our Ye Clan's Emperor Son!"
