[This trip to the Inheritance Secret Realm yielded slightly more than in your memories, simply because you broke through to the Eighth Layer and obtained a Low-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Armor, which greatly enhanced your defensive capabilities, bringing you considerable joy.]
[That same year, after returning to the Snow Mountain Sect, you took the Earth Origin Treasure Pill and successfully broke through to the early Earth Origin Realm. At the same time, you consumed the Nirvana Treasure Pill, elevating your Bone Structure to Mid-grade Earth Grade, further slightly increasing your cultivation speed.
However, you did not rush to take the Nine Dragon Treasure Pill, because Jiang Wen was eight months pregnant at the time. Taking it now would waste this rare Low-grade Heaven Grade treasure pill.]
[Two months later, your wife Jiang Wen gave birth to a son and a daughter—a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins—leaving you utterly astonished at how similar fate was. Both children possessed high talent. You named your son Ye Ping'an, whose Bone Structure reached Earth Grade Low-Rank, and your daughter Ye Pingjing, whose Bone Structure reached Profound Grade High Rank.
That day, both the Ye Family and the Snow Mountain Sect were overjoyed. The entire family celebrated for three consecutive days and nights, with both factions treating the two children like precious treasures.]
[In the Twelfth Year, because you had taken the Nine Dragon Pill, Jiang Wen bore you another child—a boy, strikingly similar to the Ye Chen in your memories. You made no major changes and named him Ye Chen. This child's Bone Structure reached Mid-grade Earth Grade, and you could sense he possessed a Special Physique. However, lacking a Sacred Artifact, you could not determine what kind it was.]
[In the Thirteenth Year, you retrieved 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. You watched the children closely for any changes; if anything adverse occurred, you would immediately stop. You had also summoned Jiang Changtian, the only Void God Realm expert in the Snow Mountain Sect, in advance. Though puzzled, he did not stop you, reasoning that as the children's father, you would not harm them.
As time passed, two hours later, the children showed no signs of discomfort. Instead, their bodies seemed to have grown slightly larger, and both had actually advanced to the Blood Transformation Realm!
Seeing this change, Jiang Changtian's eyes widened, unblinking, looking utterly comical.]
[In the Fourteenth Year, your cultivation level rose to the mid Earth Origin Realm, and your Great Compassion Palm reached Perfected Mastery. That same year, you swept through all the ordinary secret realms you could recall from your memories.]
[In the Fifteenth Year, the ordinary secret realms you had remembered had not yet been discovered due to timing. You spent two years sweeping through all ordinary secret realms below the Heavenly Origin Realm, completely emptying their resources.]
[That same year, you handed over most of the resources to Jiang Changtian, asking him to go to Jiancheng to auction for a Nirvana Treasure Pill. Based on the price, it should be equivalent to one. According to your memories, someone in Jiancheng would be selling a Nirvana Treasure Pill this year. You could buy it for your wife Jiang Wen to take, allowing her Bone Structure to rise to Earth Grade.
Jiang Changtian was slightly surprised that you could produce so many resources, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, you had passed the Inheritance Secret Realm, and he knew you had been searching for ordinary secret realms over the years—he just hadn't expected you to have gained so much.
That you would exchange such a wealth of resources for a Nirvana Treasure Pill for his granddaughter Jiang Wen warmed his heart. Though he knew you treated Jiang Wen well, some things couldn't be judged by appearances alone—actions mattered. Now that you had shown your actions by producing so many resources, he sighed that his granddaughter had married someone worthy of entrusting her life to.
You knew exactly what Jiang Changtian was thinking, but you hadn't done this for his gratitude. You did it because your wife had borne you three children, enduring such hardship. Especially with Ye Chen—the Nine Dragon Pill had actually caused some damage to Jiang Wen's body. You felt a measure of guilt for that. Now that you could make it up to your wife, you naturally wouldn't hesitate. Moreover, improving your wife's Bone Structure would allow her to cultivate to higher realms in the future.
It was a pity that only one Nirvana Treasure Pill would appear on the market within a hundred years. You would have liked to buy several more, as your parents' Bone Structure, though decent, was only at the Profound Grade. Still, there would be other opportunities in the future.]
[In the Sixteenth Year, Jiang Changtian safely brought back the Nirvana Treasure Pill and gave it to Jiang Wen to take. Only then did she learn of the matter, and Jiang Changtian did not hide the details. After taking it, Jiang Wen's Bone Structure officially stepped into Earth Grade Low-Rank.
That very night, Jiang Wen attacked your old waist, and it went on for three consecutive days straight. In the days that followed, you had no energy for cultivation. Being an old married couple, yet still so passionate—it left you somewhat helpless.
That same year, you completed your first Yellow Grade Middle Rank painting. Although the grade of these paintings was not yet high and the funds they could sell for were limited, they could still fetch a certain amount. So you persisted in painting.]
[In the Nineteenth Year, your cultivation level rose to the late Earth Origin Realm.
That same year, after breaking through to the late Earth Origin Realm, you stabilized your cultivation base. Once your body was in perfect condition, you took the Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill obtained from the Inheritance Secret Realm.
Soon after, due to the pill, your cultivation broke through to the early Heavenly Origin Realm. Not long after your breakthrough, an Old Man was brought to you by Jiang Changtian. The moment you saw him, a wave of disgust rose in your heart, but you suppressed it with great effort, showing nothing on the surface.
Instead, you treated him with extreme respect, and by appealing to reason and emotion, you never gave the Old Man a chance to touch you, so he couldn't determine your Bone Age. In the end, you managed to talk him 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's goodwill had long been blacklisted. When you had the strength, you would inevitably purge it. After all, those unpleasant memories were still vivid, as if they had just happened. You clearly remembered the ugly faces of certain people in the Blazing Sun Holy Land. The fact that you could hold back your anger was already a testament to your superb acting skills.]
[As for your choice, Jiang Changtian did not question it excessively. Though he knew that cultivating in the Blazing Sun Holy Land might be faster, freedom would certainly be less. He also believed the reasons you had given the Old Man.
He could indeed see that you valued relationships deeply and treated your family exceptionally well. Since the children were still so young, your decision not to go to the Blazing Sun Holy Land for their sake seemed perfectly reasonable to him. Instead, he felt you were a person of deep emotion, and he grew even fonder of your character. It was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law—the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.]
