[This trip to the Inheritance Secret Realm yielded slightly more than you remembered, simply because you broke through the Eighth Layer and obtained a Low-grade Heaven Grade treasure armor. It greatly increased your defensive abilities, leaving you quite pleased.]
[That same year, after returning to the Snow Mountain Sect, you consumed an Earth Origin Treasure Pill and successfully broke through to the Earth Origin Realm Initial Stage. At the same time, you took a Nirvana Treasure Pill, raising your Bone Structure to Mid-grade Earth Grade and slightly increasing your cultivation speed once more.]
[However, you did not rush to take the Nine Dragon Treasure Pill. Jiang Wen was eight months pregnant at the time, and taking it now would have wasted this rare Low-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Pill.]
[Two months later, your wife Jiang Wen gave birth to a son and a daughter for you—Dragon and Phoenix Twins in a single birth. You were utterly stunned by how similar fate was. Both children possessed exceptional talent. You named your son Ye Ping'an; his Bone Structure had reached Earth Grade Low-Rank. You named your daughter Ye Pingjing; her Bone Structure had reached Profound Grade High Rank.]
[That day, everyone in both the Ye Family and the Snow Mountain Sect was overjoyed. The entire Lineage celebrated for three days and three nights straight, and both factions cherished the two children like precious treasures.]
[In the twelfth year, because you took the Nine Dragon Pill, Jiang Wen gave birth to another child for you. To your surprise, it was another boy, extremely similar to the Ye Chen in your memories. You did not make any major changes and named him Ye Chen. This child's Bone Structure reached Mid-grade Earth Grade, and you could sense that he possessed a Special Physique. However, without a Sacred Artifact, you did not know what kind of physique it was.]
[In the thirteenth year, you took out the Bloodline Essence you had previously secreted. Since Ye Chen was still too young, you divided it into two portions and fed them to Ye Ping'an and Ye Pingjing together. You then watched the children's changes closely. If anything adverse happened, you would stop it immediately.]
[At the same time, you had summoned Jiang Changtian, the Snow Mountain Sect's sole Void God Realm expert, in advance. Although he was puzzled, he did not stop you. After all, you were the children's father and should not harm your own son and daughter.]
[As time passed, two hours went by. The children showed no signs of discomfort. Instead, their bodies seemed to have grown somewhat larger, and the two children actually advanced to the Blood Transformation Realm!]
[Seeing this change, Jiang Changtian's eyes widened so much that he did not blink, making him look rather comical.]
[In the fourteenth year, your cultivation rose to the Earth Origin Realm Middle Stage, and the Great Compassion Palm reached Perfected Mastery perfection. That same year, you swept through every Ordinary Secret Realm that you could obtain in your memories.]
[In the fifteenth year, those Ordinary Secret Realms you remembered had not yet been discovered due to the timing. You spent two years sweeping through all Ordinary Secret Realms below the Heavenly Origin Realm, finally emptying them of their resources.]
[That same year, you took out most of your resources and gave them to Jiang Changtian, asking him to go to Jiancheng and bid for a Nirvana Treasure Pill at auction. Judging by the price, it should have been equivalent to a Nirvana Treasure Pill. In your memories, someone would put a Nirvana Treasure Pill up for sale in Jiancheng this year. You could buy it for your wife Jiang Wen, allowing her Bone Structure to rise naturally to Earth Grade.]
[Jiang Changtian was slightly surprised that you could produce so many resources, but he did not dwell on it. After all, you had previously passed through the Inheritance Secret Realm, and he knew that you had spent these years searching for Ordinary Secret Realms. He simply had not realized that you had obtained so much.]
[As for your willingness to exchange so many resources for a Nirvana Treasure Pill for his granddaughter Jiang Wen, Jiang Changtian felt warmth bloom in his heart. Though he knew you treated Jiang Wen well, some things could not be judged by appearances alone; actions were what mattered. Now that you had acted, taking out such a vast amount of resources, he could not help sighing that his granddaughter had married someone worthy of entrusting her life to.]
[You knew what Jiang Changtian would think, but you had not done this to earn his gratitude. It was simply because your wife had borne you three children and endured such hardship.]
[Especially Ye Chen—because of the Nine Dragon Pill, it had actually caused some slight harm to Jiang Wen's body. You felt somewhat guilty about it. Now that you could make it up to your wife, you naturally had a duty not to shirk. Moreover, if her Bone Structure advanced further, she would be able to cultivate to a higher realm in the future.]
[It was only a pity that just one Nirvana Treasure Pill would appear within a hundred years. You had wanted to bid for several more, since although your parents' Bone Structures were not bad, they were only Profound Grade. Still, there would be chances in the future.]
[In the sixteenth year, Jiang Changtian safely brought back the Nirvana Treasure Pill and gave it to Jiang Wen to consume. Only then did Jiang Wen learn of the matter, and Jiang Changtian did not hide what had happened. After taking it, Jiang Wen's Bone Structure officially stepped into Earth Grade Low-Rank.]
[That night, Jiang Wen attacked your old waist, and she kept at it for three days straight. By the end, you had no spirit left even for cultivation. You were already an old married couple, yet she was still so passionate. It left you rather helpless.]
[That same year, you painted your first Yellow Grade Middle Rank work. Though these paintings were not of a high grade and could only fetch limited funds, they could still be sold for some money, so you continued painting.]
[In the nineteenth year, your cultivation rose to the Earth Origin Realm Late Stage.]
[That same year, after breaking through to the Earth Origin Realm Late Stage, you consolidated your realm. Once everything in your body had stabilized, you consumed the Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill obtained from the Inheritance Secret Realm.]
[Before long, your cultivation broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm Initial Stage because of the Treasure Pill. Not long after your breakthrough, Jiang Changtian brought an old man to meet you. Upon seeing him, a surge of disgust rose in your heart, but you suppressed it with all your might and revealed nothing on the surface.]
[Instead, you treated him with utmost respect. In the end, you moved him with emotion and reason, never giving the old man an opportunity to touch you, so he had no way of knowing your Bone Age. You then talked the old man into leaving. This time, you had no intention of sending your youngest son Ye Chen to the Blazing Sun Holy Land. In your heart, the Blazing Sun Holy Land had long been dragged onto your blacklist. Once you had sufficient strength, you would certainly cleanse it thoroughly. Those unbearable memories were still vivid before your eyes, as though they had happened only yesterday. Knowing the ugly faces of certain people in the Blazing Sun Holy Land, the fact that you could endure without lashing out already proved that your acting skills were extraordinarily refined.]
[Jiang Changtian did not question your choice too much. Though he also knew that cultivation in the Blazing Sun Holy Land might be faster, one would certainly not have such freedom there. He also believed the reason you gave the old man.]
[He could indeed see that you placed immense importance on affection and treated your family extremely well. The child was still so young, and in his view, it was completely understandable that you would refuse to go to the Blazing Sun Holy Land for that reason. On the contrary, he felt that you were a man of true feeling and temperament. He liked your character even more—like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.]
