Breakthrough to the Heavenly Origin Realm

"I'm very sorry, but I can't go to the Holy Land with you. I already have a family in Yicheng City, family members who need my care. But perhaps my five-year-old child meets your requirements. He is more suitable than I am. Could you give me some time to discuss it with my wife?"

Hearing your words, the old man became even happier. To him, recruiting a child with a special physique would earn him more contribution points. He immediately said, "My apologies, Mr. Ye Feng. I had not considered this carefully and did not know you were already married. If your child is willing to go to the Holy Land, come find me at Yicheng City's City Lord's Mansion. I will remain there for three days, awaiting your visit." At the same time, the old man handed you a token granting entry to the City Lord's Mansion.

You accepted the token from the old man and warmly saw him off from the Snow Mountain Sect with Jiang Changtian. After the old man left, Jiang Changtian asked in confusion about your personal refusal to go to the Holy Land. "The Blazing Sun Holy Land has its Cave Heaven. If Feng'er possesses a special physique, going to the Holy Land would allow you to go farther on the path of martial arts. Why did you refuse his invitation?"

Hearing Jiang Changtian's words, you let out a long sigh. "How could I not understand the benefits of cultivating in the Blazing Sun Holy Land? But if I went now, would the Blazing Sun Holy Land truly spare no effort in nurturing me? First of all, with my talent, could I truly rank among the best in the Blazing Sun Holy Land? Without outstanding talent, it would be truly difficult to qualify to enter the Cave Heaven. Furthermore, even if my talent were good enough to meet the threshold for entering the Cave Heaven, compared with those who had entered the Holy Land from childhood, would they let me in, or would they let the children they had raised since childhood enter the Cave Heaven? The answer is obvious. Entering the Blazing Sun Holy Land at my age, I would only be an outsider in their eyes."

Although Jiang Changtian wanted to refute you, once he truly calmed down, he realized it was a fact. Previously, he had only thought of the benefits of the Blazing Sun Cave Heaven and had not considered anything else. Still, Jiang Changtian was very happy that you could remain in the Snow Mountain Sect. He could see that, with your talent, there was a high chance you would enter the Spirit Condensation Realm in the future. At that time, the Snow Mountain Sect would be able to rise another step. Moreover, he had watched you grow up, and you had long since become inseparable from the Jiang Family.

After speaking with Jiang Changtian, you went to find Ye Chen. When you found him, the boy was still causing trouble in the Ye Family with his nephew, who was a year younger than him. You stepped forward and seized his ear. The moment Ye Chen saw you, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat, so frightened that he did not dare move. Over the past five years, ever since he had learned to walk, he had constantly endured your heavy fatherly love. You practically forced him every day to consume those especially bitter spirit medicines and read those books that made him want to sleep at a glance. Aside from sleeping, his days were packed full by your arrangements. Only when you gave him a few days off and let him come play at the Ye Family was he truly able to relax. Now that you had caught him running around with little Ye Chen's underpants, how could he not know he was about to receive an education in love?

Nearby, your four-year-old grandson Ye Chen stood bare-bottomed, watching you lecture his little uncle Ye Chen. He did not dare leave either, standing ramrod straight with both hands covering his crotch. Seeing a child so young already know embarrassment made you laugh a little.

"Why haven't you returned the underpants to your nephew?" At your words, Ye Chen jolted, his body trembling slightly, and immediately put the underpants back on little Ye Chen. After handing little Ye Chen over to his father, Ye Ping'an, you brought Ye Chen back to the Snow Mountain Sect.

"Father, isn't today a rest day? You promised there would be no cultivation. How can you go back on your word? If you keep this up, I'll tell Mother." Ye Chen protested timidly.

You did not explain too much to a child. Only after bringing him to Jiang Wen did you recount everything that had happened after the old man came to the Snow Mountain Sect today. Jiang Wen shared your opinion and respected your decision. Standing nearby and listening to you, Ye Chen thought only that you were abandoning him. He burst into tears, shouting that he would not go to the Blazing Sun Holy Land. But since his parents had made their decision, his protests were naturally useless. In the end, only after you coaxed and persuaded him did he follow the old man to the Blazing Sun Holy Land.

This time, you accompanied the child to the Blazing Sun Holy Land. In the end, the child indeed tested positive for a special physique, green in color, just as you had expected. He became an Inner Disciple of the Blazing Sun Holy Land. When you left, you gave the child a Message Talisman, so that he could contact his family through it if anything happened.

In the fortieth year, the other three great families of Fengyuan City learned that a member of the Ye Family had joined the Blazing Sun Holy Land, and the matter was confirmed. The two families besides the Lin Family relocated their entire clans out of Fengyuan City. The Lin Family became a vassal of the Ye Family, while the Ye Family became the foremost power in Fengyuan City and took over the industries and resources of the other two great families.

In the forty-fifth year, your cultivation rose to the Earth Origin Realm Late Stage.

That same year, Liu Rusi came to you, hoping that you could help the Liu Family enter a special secret realm and assist them in obtaining rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. You accepted the terms offered by the Liu Family. This time, you were permitted to seek out Earth Grade Treasure Materials among the gains. Before entering the secret realm, the Liu Family gave you a map of its interior. With crushing strength, you slew the powerful demon beasts guarding the Earth Grade Treasure Materials and obtained an enticing harvest. There were more than three hundred Yellow Grade Treasure Materials, over eighty Mysterious Grade Treasure Materials, and all ten-odd Earth Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that existed within the secret realm. Because the harvest was so abundant, you took four Earth Grade Treasure Medicines from it. The Liu Family had no complaints about this.

That same year, after exploring the secret realm, you returned to the Snow Mountain Sect. You quickly adjusted your physical condition, and after confirming it was safe, swallowed the Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill obtained from the Inheritance Secret Realm. The Primal Force within the treasure pill was extraordinarily surging. Compared to the gentle advancement provided by an Earth Origin Treasure Pill, the Primal Force of a Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill was extremely violent. It took you three days in total to absorb this treasure pill bearing Nine Inscriptions, after which your cultivation smoothly broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm Initial Stage.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, your strength soared. With three Great Accomplishment Realms, there were not many people in the entire Heavenly Origin Realm who could exchange blows with you. Afterward, you swept through all the Ordinary Secret Realms near Yicheng City that had yet to appear in your memories, obtaining a great deal of resources. Aside from the resources you could use directly, you exchanged everything else for Mysterious Grade Treasure Pills for future cultivation.

At the same time, during the years Ye Chen spent in the Blazing Sun Holy Land, you worried that without you by his side, he would grow crooked. Therefore, over the years, you continually sent Ye Chen several dozen books containing knowledge from Blue Star in your memories, hoping that Ye Chen would become sensible and reasonable.

In the forty-sixth year, you secretly went to the location where the Copper Ore Vein had been discovered in your memories. After investigating it repeatedly, you found that the Copper Ore Vein had already appeared, but you did not act rashly. Instead, you returned to the Snow Mountain Sect as though nothing had happened. You planned to seize the Copper Ore Vein only after breaking through to the Void God Realm. As for whether it lay within the territory of the Liu Family and the Min Family, what did that have to do with you? If you discovered it, then it had to be yours.
