[That year, you often studied under your master Liu Rusi alongside her granddaughter Jiang Wen. Because you were close in age and had no shortage of good looks, Jiang Wen formed a favorable impression of you.]
[The third year, your cultivation broke through to the early Organ Refining Realm. You could now paint Mortal Grade High-Rank works, your Mysterious Grade martial skill Thousand Mountain Snow reached Initial Mastery, and you comprehended Minor Mountain Shaking Fist Intent, elevating your Mountain Shaking Fist to Perfected Mastery.]
[That same year, after two years of spending time with Jiang Wen, what started as barely speaking—only following Liu Rusi in training—gradually changed. Jiang Wen would often seek you out to play when she wasn't cultivating. Because you were well aware of what you needed to accomplish this time, you treated her kindly. Because of you, Jiang Wen looked down on the other boys her age in the sect, finding them lacking in maturity and bearing compared to you—mainly because you were better looking. Jiang Wen was three years older than you, now fourteen, just at the age when a girl's heart begins to stir.]
[The fourth year, you comprehended Minor Mayfly Blade Intent, and your martial skill Mayfly Step Slash rose to Perfected Mastery Realm. Your Mysterious Grade martial skill Thousand Mountain Snow reached Initial Proficiency.]
[That same year, the Snow Mountain Sect held its disciple competition. None of your peers in the sect could withstand a single blow from you, and you became the current Senior Disciple Brother of the Snow Mountain Sect. At the same time, Jiang Wen's gaze toward you grew increasingly unusual. The two of you could be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together, spending the most time together in the sect. Liu Rusi discovered Jiang Wen's feelings for you, and after discussing it with Jiang Wen's parents, they decided to betroth the two of you.]
[You did not refuse Master Liu Rusi's decision. In the end, your wedding date with Jiang Wen was set for the day you came of age.]
[The seventh year, your cultivation rose to the late Organ Refining Realm. You comprehended Minor Thousand Mountain Blade Intent, your martial skill Thousand Mountain Snow reached Perfected Mastery Realm, and you could now paint your first Yellow Grade Low-Rank work.]
[That same year, your good friend Ye Mingyue married Lin Miao and invited you to attend. You brought Jiang Wen along. Since you were already a married man, Ye Mingyue could no longer have his future child acknowledge you as Godfather. The two of you had rarely met in recent years, and this reunion saw you drink heartily. This time, you got drunk, and in the end, Jiang Wen brought you back to the Snow Mountain Sect.]
[The tenth year, your cultivation broke through to the early Essence Gathering Realm. Your martial skills Mountain Shaking Fist and Mayfly Step Slash reached Perfected Mastery Perfection Realm, and your Thousand Mountain Snow reached Perfected Mastery Peak Realm.]
[That same year, you and Jiang Wen consummated your marriage. Jiang Wen, who had endured for years, finally had you that night. At the same time, during the wedding banquet, the Snow Mountain Sect's Grand Elder, Jiang Changtian, gave you and Jiang Wen each one Earth Grade Low-Rank Three-Inscription Treasure Pill. This pill was refined by someone Jiang Changtian had commissioned in his early years, yielding five pills from a single furnace. It was called the 'Minor Nirvana Treasure Pill' and could enhance one's Bone Structure. Its value was extremely precious, and even in Yicheng City, it was something that had a price but no market.]
[After taking the Minor Nirvana Treasure Pill, your Bone Structure rose to Mysterious Grade Middle Rank, while your wife Jiang Wen's Bone Structure rose to Mysterious Grade High Rank.]
[The fourteenth year, your wife Jiang Wen gave birth to a son and a daughter. Both children possessed extraordinary talent, with Bone Structures at Mysterious Grade High Rank. Jiang Changtian was overjoyed when he heard the news. He hoped that one of the children could take the surname Jiang, and you had no objection to this.]
[The seventeenth year, your cultivation rose to the mid Essence Gathering Realm, and you painted your first Yellow Grade Mid-Rank work.]
[That same year, you felt that your funds for purchasing Pills were insufficient. Because your cultivation had advanced too quickly this time, the paintings you sold barely covered the cost of the Pills you needed for training. You began to consider going out on expeditions to gather resources. With memories spanning over five hundred years, you knew exactly where the treasured lands and secret realms were located. It was time to go and claim those resources. However, your two children were still too young, and you couldn't bear to leave them. You decided to wait until they were older before considering it.]
[The twenty-fifth year, your cultivation rose to the late Essence Gathering Realm, and your martial skill Thousand Mountain Snow had reached Perfected Mastery Perfection.]
[That same year, because your funds were growing increasingly insufficient, you had already taken the resources from several small nearby secret realms ahead of time, alleviating your immediate crisis.]
[The thirtieth year, although your children were only sixteen, they had already displayed talent far surpassing their peers. Deeply favored by the Snow Mountain Sect's Grand Elder, the two children had become the little Devil Kings of the Snow Mountain Sect.]
[That same year, you comprehended Great Mayfly Blade Intent, and your Yellow Grade Mid-Rank martial skill Mayfly Step Slash rose to the Peak Attainment Realm. At the moment of your breakthrough, you noticed Jiang Changtian standing by your side, guarding you. From his expression, you could tell he was extremely astonished. After you completed your breakthrough, Jiang Changtian pulled you into a night-long conversation. The topic was that he wanted to take you to a certain place. If you could come out of that place alive, you would have the opportunity to break through to a realm beyond the Void God Realm—that was the Spirit Condensation Realm, or even higher.]
[But the inheritance site was extremely dangerous. For ordinary people, going there was practically a death sentence. That was why he hadn't told you before. He didn't want his granddaughter to become a widow early on, and besides, he had watched you grow up, already regarding you as half his own child.]
[Jiang Changtian said frankly that with your current strength, you had a fifty percent chance of surviving that inheritance secret realm. He didn't force you to go, only asked. Faced with Jiang Changtian's words, you knew he wouldn't harm you, and you asked if you could wait for some time.]
[In the end, you received definite news: the Inheritance Secret Realm would close in fifteen years, and it would take a thousand years before it opened again. This secret realm not only had cultivation restrictions but also an age limit—only those under fifty who had not yet broken through to the Earth Origin Realm could attempt the trial.]
[When he learned that you were confident in comprehending another Great Accomplishment Realm within three years, Jiang Changtian was speechless. Soon, he retrieved an Earth Grade Low-Rank treasured blade from the vault and handed it to you. This blade had a total of three inscriptions carved into it. He hoped this blade would help you during your trial. Then he left, saying he would return once you had mastered the Great Accomplishment Mountain Shaking Fist Intent.]
[The thirty-second year, you comprehended Great Accomplishment Mountain Shaking Fist Intent, and your Yellow Grade High-Rank martial skill Mountain Shaking Fist rose to the Peak Attainment Realm.]
