An Unexpected Discovery: The Young Master Had an Immortal Bone!

"Huh? Ahem!"

Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes. At the sight of the twin peaks enveloping him, his head began to ache.

Now he only hoped the Lineage would hurry up and finish building his palace. I don't want to be held while I sleep anymore.

And... Ye Linglong even had a habit of sleeping naked. Who the hell had taught her that?!

He was only a baby. He shouldn't have had to endure such "torment."

But... I actually fell asleep in the reception hall.

And slept all the way into the night...

Ye Tian stared listlessly at the ceiling. Suddenly, he sensed a current of icy power circulating within his body.

It flowed through his internal organs, his limbs and bones, and his greater and lesser celestial circuits, leaving him exceptionally comfortable.

At the same time, a bone in his chest, gleaming white as jade, shone brilliantly.

Wrapped in densely packed Runes, the bone radiated formidable energy, directing the icy power to nourish his body.

Ye Tian immediately realized that this was the immortal bone he had fused with when the Holy Maiden of Jade Lake had been in danger.

It was actually directing the icy power, along with its own energy, to nurture his meridians and nourish his body.

"Ding! Host, there is no need to worry. The Immortal Bone noticed that your physique was utter trash and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so it began nourishing your body and nurturing your meridians on its own, hoping to improve your talent."

Hey, system, that's way too harsh! Can't you consider my feelings and show me a little respect?

"Ding! Certainly. The Immortal Bone noticed that your esteemed physique was utter trash and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so it decided to lend your esteemed self a hand."

...

Damn system!

Ye Tian was speechless. He would deal with this damned system sooner or later.

"Ding! The Immortal Bone will temper your flesh with Immortal Dao Laws. Host, please prepare yourself."

"During this process, the system will block Ye Linglong's perception of you and prevent her from waking, thereby protecting your privacy." ```

Ye Tian silently approved. This damned system was reasonably clever. It knew he wanted to lie flat and slack off, keeping quiet and maintaining a low profile.

The Immortal Bone erupted with boundless light, illuminating the surrounding world. In an instant, the Sleeping Palace became as bright as day.

Fortunately, the system had blocked Ye Linglong's perception. Otherwise, that light alone would have been enough to wake her.

Ye Tian's tiny body also rose into the air, shining brilliantly as it hovered there. Countless passages of scripture enveloped him, flickering with radiance.

His body was translucent as jade, and densely packed passages of scripture shimmered along his meridians as his flesh underwent a cleansing baptism.

The flesh was the foundation of cultivation, the starting point of pursuing the Dao.

Thus, children were generally given medicinal baths when they turned three, providing the initial aid needed for Flesh Awakening and formally embarking on the path of cultivation.

And this first realm, the Qi-Blood Realm, was also the most important, determining their future possibilities.

If a three-year-old possessed earth-shaking divine strength, they could summon the Eternal Flesh Ranking, which had endured in the world since time immemorial.

Of course, that was all a matter for later.

Ye Tian had only been born ten days ago, yet he already had an Immortal Bone helping him, using its own Immortal Dao Laws to temper his infant body.

That alone meant Ye Tian was already a great step ahead of his peers.

As Ye Tian hovered in the air, his infant body grew increasingly sacred, and the Immortal Bone's tempering proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

After all, an infant's body held no impurities. Bathed in immortal light, he looked all the more sacred.

Hehe, this feels so good.

Ye Tian thought to himself, feeling so comfortable that he couldn't help chuckling softly.

He hadn't expected having his body tempered by the Immortal Bone to feel so pleasant.

What Ye Tian didn't know, however, was that having the Immortal Bone temper his body was supposed to be excruciating.

Tempering flesh and forging meridians—the pain was unimaginable.

But the system couldn't bear to see Ye Tian suffer, so it altered his perception, making him feel comfort rather than pain.

System: I know I'm a caring guy. You don't have to tell me.

What Ye Tian had forgotten was that, while the system had indeed blocked Ye Linglong's perception...

There was currently someone else in the Sleeping Palace besides Ye Linglong.

At the doorway, Huang Ruoxi watched Ye Tian hover in the air, wrapped in divine light and wreathed in Runes, like the child of a holy spirit.

Vermilion Lips fell open in utter astonishment and disbelief.

Huang Ruoxi had been cultivating when she heard the disturbance. Wanting to make sure Ye Tian was safe, she had come to the Sleeping Palace's doorway.

She hadn't expected to witness a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

A baby born only ten days ago was actually enveloped in mysterious energy, seemingly having his flesh tempered.

Huang Ruoxi's curiosity intensified. She furrowed her brows and peered over with her crystal-clear eyes, wanting to see exactly what was happening.

And... despite such a commotion, Ye Linglong was still sleeping so soundly.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would have suspected that a spell had been cast to block Ye Linglong's perception.

Yet things were far from over.

Hovering in the air, Ye Tian radiated a faint glow, with silver radiance spilling down from him. Even the sun and moon would have had to bow before him.

The jade-white bone in his chest produced densely packed Ancient Runes, wreathed in halos of light. It was wondrous beyond belief.

At the sight, Huang Ruoxi raised her slender, jade-like fingers to cover her Vermilion Lips, clicking her tongue softly in wonder.

In utter astonishment, she exclaimed, "An Immortal Bone!!!"

Clearly, she also knew the legends surrounding the Immortal Bone.

Those born with an Immortal Bone were true born Supremes, blessed with tremendous fortune and destined to forge an invincible name for themselves, becoming unconquerable.

The Immortal Bone ranked among the foremost of the Three Thousand Physiques, peerless and unparalleled.

Even a Double-Pupiled One, reputed to have no equal in the world, could not suppress someone with an immortal bone.

She had never imagined that this Young Master, whom the outside world claimed had nothing more than a Mortal Physique, actually possessed an Immortal Bone.

That meant this Young Master of the Eternal Ye Family was no mere Mortal Physique at all.

Instead, he was a peerless, supreme prodigy who would one day hold the ages beneath his heel.

Then what could she, a mere Eldest Princess of the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom, possibly amount to in the eyes of such a prodigy?

Ye Linglong had been right. His invincible backing alone was enough for him to stride unchecked through the world.

Yet he also possessed such a world-shaking physique, while remaining incredibly discreet and unwilling to publicize it.

If the Young Master merely beckoned, even a peerless empress would probably set aside her pride and come serve the Ye Family's Young Master.

For her... being able to become Ye Tian's maid truly counted as an opportunity bestowed by the heavens.

At that thought, Huang Ruoxi completely relinquished her dignity as a princess.

Before the world, she was the noble Eldest Princess of the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom.

But in the Eternal Ye Family, she was merely a lowly maid. What dignity did she have to speak of?

What do I have left to be proud of? I should just be a dutiful maid.

With her thoughts untangled, Huang Ruoxi's mood grew considerably lighter.

The Young Master keeps such a low profile. He must not want outsiders to know he has an Immortal Bone. I must guard this secret closely and never let outsiders find out.

Also, Miss Linglong said that her lifestyle with the Young Master is closer to that of ordinary mortals.

I heard mortals eat three meals a day and live on grains. I need to go learn about that!

Thinking this, Huang Ruoxi completely set aside her pride and resolved to devote herself wholeheartedly to being a maid.

She immediately went to look for recipes, intending to prepare breakfast for the Young Master.

No, rather, to prepare his breakfast milk.

Inside the Sleeping Palace, Ye Tian slowly returned to the bed, his flesh now tempered by immortal dao energy.

Lie flat and rest!
