As the Son of Destiny, What's Wrong with Picking Up a Supreme Treasure?

"Old Tuo, Little Tian once happened to hear Mother mention that you have hidden injuries within your body." Chu Tian turned to Old Tuo at the doorway and asked.

Naturally, he had made that up. Old Tuo had stayed on Sacred Emperor Peak for many years and had never made a move. His hidden injuries had only been exposed in the original plot when the Chu Family was destroyed—not even Chu Tianwang had known about them.

But since Jian Kongzhu was not here anyway, what could not be explained? He could just pin it on her.

"Just now, when Little Tian came out of Hengtian Hall, space suddenly split open and a pill fell out. It looked very much like the legendary Creation Divine Pill. Old Tuo, take a look and see if it is." Chu Tian casually spouted nonsense as he walked over and placed the pill in Old Tuo's hand.

Chu Tianwang was somewhat unreliable.

Since the Creation Divine Pill had come from the system, it could not be fake.

Besides, he had no use for it right now. He might as well use it to heal Old Tuo and add a top-tier combatant to the Chu Family.

Buzz!

A rich medicinal fragrance suddenly spread through the entire vast palace.

"Creation Divine Pill." Old Tuo's entire body shook as he looked at the pill in his hand.

"The supreme Divine Pill that only Emperor Venerables of the Medicine God Clan could supposedly refine, capable of bringing the dead back to life and putting flesh upon white bones." Chu Tianyun instantly appeared beside Old Tuo. When he saw the nine faint purple patterns drifting across the pill, he was terrified beyond measure.

"It is exactly as described in the ancient records."

"Just from taking one breath of its pill aura, the slight Dao injury I suffered in my youth has already healed."

Chu Tianyun's eyes widened furiously as he stared at Chu Tian. "Little Tian, did you really pick this up while walking down the road?"

"It really is the legendary Creation Divine Pill?" Chu Tian wore an astonished expression.

In a fantasy world like this, top prodigies could make the Great Dao rumble from the moment they were born. Those struck by supreme treasures while walking down the road were rare, but not unheard of.

As the Chaos Demon God Body and the future sole Son of Destiny, why could he, Chu Tian, not be one of them?

"If that is the case, Old Tuo, hurry and take it. It should help with your hidden injuries," Chu Tian said.

"Young Master, absolutely not. How precious is this Creation Divine Pill? It can bring the dead back to life and put flesh upon white bones; it is practically a second life. This old servant is merely a servant of the Chu Family—how could I dare accept such a grand gift from Young Master?"

"Madam truly had eyes like torches to see through this old servant's hidden injuries. But they are only minor injuries and do not matter."

Tormented by those hidden injuries for so many years, through countless days and nights, how could Old Tuo not be moved? Yet he still returned the Divine Pill to Chu Tian.

"Old Tuo, it is only a pill. Compared with your contributions to the Chu Family, it is nothing. Little Tian is merely showing some filial devotion on behalf of Father and Mother," Chu Tian said modestly.

After all, with the system and so many Sons of Destiny, he could exchange Destiny Points for rewards. This Creation Divine Pill might be precious, but to him, it truly amounted to nothing.

No matter how precious external possessions were, they could not compare to having a top expert standing guard, bringing peace of mind.

"Old Tuo, you really have hidden injuries? We never noticed all these years."

Chu Tianyun was deeply shocked. Then he immediately said, "Little Tian is right. Old Tuo, your contributions to the Chu Family are enormous. This is what we juniors should have done in the first place.

"This Creation Profound Pill shall be considered the family's gift to you.

"The family will use something else to exchange with Little Tian."

Chu Tianyun pondered for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "Little Tian, in three days, the sect's sacred land, the Sacred Heaven Pool, will open.

"The family will use this opportunity to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool to exchange with you.

"The Sacred Heaven Pool was formed from the physical body of Saint Ancestor Duanmu. It is of great use to Heavenly God experts in tempering their divine souls.

"You have already reached the tenth level of Bone Forging and have reached the stage where you can begin to Refine Spirit. The Sacred Heaven Pool will likewise bring immense benefits to your entry into Refine Spirit. Its value is absolutely no less than that of the Creation Divine Pill."

After speaking, Chu Tianyun looked at Old Tuo. "Old Tuo, now you can take the Creation Divine Pill without worry, yes?"

"Since that is the case, this old servant shall overstep. Many thanks for the great kindness of Young Master and Third Master. Everything this old servant has, including this life, was given by the Chu Family. What virtue or ability do I possess to receive such care?"

Old Tuo did not continue to stand on ceremony. He understood just how important this pill was to him, so he immediately swallowed the Creation Divine Pill.

Buzz!

Old Tuo closed his eyes. Purple divine radiance flowed over him, and the power of Creation Realm flashed past in an instant.

Sacred Heaven Pool.

At the mention of that name, Chu Tian's heart trembled slightly.

He had not expected to come into contact with this place so quickly.

The Sacred Heaven Pool contained an enormous opportunity. Later, it would be obtained by a Son of Destiny and directly affect the balance of the Sacred Heaven Sect.

The Sacred Heaven Sect had been passed down for a million years. Through shifting seas and changing fields, it had naturally experienced every kind of rise and fall, as well as crises.

And this Saint Ancestor Duanmu had been the ancestor who restored the Sacred Heaven Sect to prosperity, helping it through a critical period of weakness.

The Duanmu Family was also now a top great clan within the Sacred Heaven Sect, second only to the two great families.

Saint Ancestor Duanmu's body was hidden within the Sacred Heaven Pool. After being tempered by the essence of heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands of years, it had already begun to give birth to a nascent spiritual consciousness.

When the Sacred Heaven Pool opened more than a decade later for its once-in-a-century grand baptism of young disciples, Ye Fan would gain the recognition of the nascent Saint Ancestor Duanmu. She would become extremely dependent on him, allowing him to indirectly gain the support of the Duanmu Family and establish a firm foothold within the Sacred Heaven Sect.

A living Saint Ancestor Duanmu—this was an opportunity vast enough to drown the heavens, one of Ye Fan's greatest opportunities.

If I can enter early, I can make some moves within it.

Chu Tian smiled at his Third Uncle, Chu Tianyun. Although this fellow had been of little use to the Chu Family in the original plot—a villain who died before even appearing for three rounds—his usefulness was now being maximized.

Moreover, from his memories, he learned that it was not as Chu Tianyun had claimed: the family was not exchanging the Creation Divine Pill for him. This opportunity to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool had actually belonged to Chu Tianyun.

Chu Tianyun had voluntarily given him this precious opportunity to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool and Refine Spirit.

"Thank you, Third Uncle, for giving this precious opportunity to your nephew. Your nephew was also planning to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool to Refine Spirit and lay an unparalleled foundation."

Chu Tianyun was somewhat surprised that Chu Tian knew. Then he smiled with emotion and said, "Your Third Uncle is old. Even if I entered the Sacred Heaven Pool, I could at most advance by one or two minor realms.

"These recent years, the continent has not been peaceful. The major sects stand with swords drawn and bows bent, while monstrous geniuses emerge endlessly among the younger generation, battling like dragons and tigers. Even within our sect, undercurrents surge, and the Ye Family watches us like a tiger stalking its prey. If this continues, even though my Chu Family has deep foundations, disaster may still come.

"It would be better to give this opportunity to you, Little Tian, and gamble on a future for the Chu Family.

"In the future, if you have the chance, just help me look after that insolent little beast of mine who walks around with his nostrils pointed at the sky."

Chu Tianyun said with a smile, raising a hand to pat Chu Tian's shoulder, telling him not to take it to heart.

In truth, if Chu Tian had not ascended to first place on the Earth Ranking, he would not have yielded this opportunity.

"Your nephew thanks Third Uncle," Chu Tian said sincerely. He could not help sighing inwardly. As expected of an old great clan that had endured for a million years without falling—united and far-sighted.

Chu Tianyun made it sound simple, merely advancing one or two minor realms. Yet how many experts would risk their lives just to make the slightest progress, only to fail to obtain it?

Cowardly old father, cowardly old father.

You had such an excellent hand, yet you played it into that mess. In the end, your entire family was wiped out—your children either died or fell into the demonic path.

At this moment, Xing Nu, her face veiled in snow-white gauze, appeared outside the hall. She dropped to one knee and said, "Xing Nu greets Young Master and Third Master."

"Rise." Chu Tian said blandly, "Did the interrogation of Ju'er produce any results?"

Xing Nu glanced at Chu Tianyun, hesitation flashing through her eyes.

"Ah, hahaha, you do not even trust me? Little Tian, you have a loyal maid." Chu Tianyun laughed. He did not mind and was about to turn and walk aside.

"It is fine. Xing Nu, just say it. Third Uncle is family," Chu Tian said calmly.

There had never been any need to carry out the matter of forcibly breaking into the Liu Family and arresting Ju'er in secret.

Not to mention that Chu Tianyun was the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. Without his tacit approval, Ju'er could not possibly have mobilized the sect's Law Enforcement Team.

"Young Master, this subordinate and many disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall employed numerous harsh punishments. Even when Ju'er was nearly on the verge of mental collapse, she still refused to confess, preferring death."

Xing Nu gritted her teeth and said, "Left with no choice, this servant acted on her own and used the Soul Searching method, learning the full truth."

"This servant used a demonic-path secret technique. I ask Third Master and Young Master to punish me."

In the endless ages long ago, the Heavenly Demon had nearly destroyed Hengtian Continent. Thus, demonic-path secret techniques were not tolerated by the people of Hengtian Continent.

This was also why Great Hatred Demon Lord, after falling into the demonic path, was hunted by sects throughout Hengtian Continent.

"Continue." Chu Tian's expression was blank. Naturally, he knew all this, but in his heart, there had never been any distinction between righteousness and evil.

How could secret techniques have good or bad? They were merely tools, means to achieve one's ends.
