Soul Perception Mode, Call Me Your Godfather? Blood Sea Remnants!

In Ye Linglong's Sleeping Palace, Ye Tian lay on the soft, spacious bed, staring at the ceiling.

It was noon, and the blazing sun ruled the sky, shining upon the earth as countless young prodigies cultivated beneath its rays.

Ye Linglong and Huang Ruoxi had also headed off to the Martial Training Ground or the Scripture Pavilion.

Ye Tian was left alone, lying on the bed in solitude.

That alone would have been tolerable. What made it worse was that before leaving, Ye Linglong had activated the palace's defensive formation to keep him from running off.

Ye Tian grumbled inwardly, Tch, if I wanted to leave, could a mere formation stop me?

He possessed Infinite Traversal Mode, which ignored every obstacle.

But if he left, his cousin Ye Linglong would inevitably be punished by his mother.

If he caused trouble this time, Huang Ruoxi would probably be added to the list of those punished.

Ye Tian was bored out of his mind. He was a fine young man who had lived two lives. How could he endure such loneliness?

Besides... this infant body only made him feel even more bored.

"Hey, you damned system, are you there?"

"Is the host feeling too bored and hoping to explore the Eternal Ye Family?"

"That's right. Is there any way I can explore the Eternal Ye Family without getting my cousin into trouble?"

"Come on, call me your godfather."

The system spoke with such an obnoxious air that Ye Tian could almost picture its smug, petty face.

"Pah! Call you my godfather? In your dreams!"

"Once I grow up, it won't matter whether I have you or not anyway."

"Call a damned system like you my godfather? Keep dreaming."

The system was dumbfounded by Ye Tian's words.

This wasn't how the story was supposed to go.

You have a need, and I fulfill it, yet somehow I'm the one in the wrong?

Hmph! Whether you want it or not, I'm giving it to you!

"Ding, ding, ding. System upgrading."

"Ding, ding, ding. System upgrade successful. Unlocking Range Perception Mode."

"Range Perception Mode: allows the host to perceive anything happening within a certain range without moving from his current position."

"The perception range will continue to expand as the host's cultivation increases."

A gleam flashed through Ye Tian's eyes as he listened to the system's announcements.

He could stay perfectly still while perceiving anything happening within a certain range.

This way, he could remain lying on the soft bed and still perceive events within that range, relieving his tedium so he would no longer be bored.

Moreover... he could ensure that his cousin Ye Linglong and his maid Huang Ruoxi escaped his mother's punishment.

This mode was precisely what he needed right now. Killing two birds with one stone—how wonderful!

Delighted, Ye Tian called inwardly, System, activate Range Perception Mode.

As his words fell, Ye Tian closed his eyes. A strange energy emerged and enveloped everything within a radius of ten thousand li. This was his detection range.

The Eternal Ye Family was immensely vast, like a small world unto itself.

For Range Perception Mode to cover ten thousand li immediately upon activation was already staggeringly heaven-defying, beyond imagination.

Ye Tian's spiritual perception spread throughout that ten-thousand-li radius.

He perceived the Scripture Pavilion, the Martial Training Ground, the Martial Arena, the Life-and-Death Platform, and other places within that range.

Ye Family disciples also raced against every passing moment, cultivating diligently, with young prodigies making breakthroughs from time to time.

Other Ye Family disciples had disputes and headed to the Martial Arena to settle them.

Pill fragrances filled the Alchemy Hall, while the ringing of metal rose and fell inside the Artifact Refining Hall amid bursts of golden light.

Within the Talisman Refining Hall, Runes fluttered through the air, and mighty spell seals abounded.

Yet all of this was merely the tip of the Eternal Ye Family's iceberg.

Ye Tian also sensed two ancient Fierce Beasts locked in a fierce battle over territory.

One was a Black-Armored Giant Tortoise, bearing an enormous shell interwoven with Dao inscriptions, resembling the Black Tortoise.

The other was a Heavenly Demon Tiger, its entire body covered in golden armor, like a war god among Fierce Beasts.

"Roar!"

The two collided in savage combat. Blood flew, the mountains and wilderness shook, and the heavens churned.

After observing through his perception for a while, Ye Tian found it terribly dull and spread his spiritual sense to perceive other things.

Everything was as clear as the lines on his palm, without the slightest mystery.

But when Ye Tian's perception reached a certain boundary, he discovered that a corner of the small world housing the Eternal Ye Family's Myriad Treasures Pavilion had been enclosed by a mysterious barrier. He actually could not probe it.

Fortunately, this mode had been granted by the system and could see through all illusions.

Ye Tian examined it carefully and found nothing suspicious inside the barrier, only then slowly turning his attention elsewhere.

Suddenly, he sensed an exceedingly strange energy appear, immediately drawing Ye Tian's attention.

Ye Tian instantly focused his spiritual perception on the source of that strange energy and detected three figures. All wore black robes, but their appearances differed.

One had a face as pale as paper and a gaunt body, like a piece of withered, rotting wood.

Another's hair danced and burned like flames, looking utterly terrifying.

The last was burly and powerfully built, with flowing hair that seemed to have been polished from gold.

"System, help me analyze which races these three belong to."

Ye Tian had the system scan them and learned that they were experts from the Bone Demon Race, the Fire Demon Race, and the Infernal Lion Race.

Their cultivation was no less impressive. All had reached the Saint Realm. In the outside world, apart from the Immortal Forces, they would absolutely be experts capable of ruling an entire region.

"Strange. None of these three belong to the Eternal Ye Family. Logically, they shouldn't be able to enter without using the proper channels."

"Yet they suddenly appeared here? Could it be... they intend to harm our Eternal Ye Family!"

The thought struck Ye Tian. Having lived two lives, he was extraordinarily sensitive to danger.

"That little brat from the Eternal Ye Family is far too talented. He's only been born a few days, yet he can learn the Peerless Sword Technique with a single glance!"

"Exactly. If we don't eliminate a prodigy like him early, sooner or later he'll become a second Divine Emperor!"

The Fire Demon Race expert spoke warily, his hair burning like flames and his words brimming with murderous intent.

"The Eternal Ye Family has suppressed us for far too long. On top of that, the reigning Divine Emperor nearly slaughtered all three of our races into a broken line of succession on his road to godhood, almost wiping us out!"

"Besides... behind our three immortal powers stand dark forces such as the Life Forbidden Zone and the Extraterrestrial Demons. We were destined to become bound to the Divine Emperor by an irreconcilable blood feud!"

"Since that's the case... we can only make our move. We must find every possible way to kill the Divine Emperor's son!"

The Bone Demon Race expert spoke, each word falling like a pearl, making hearts and souls tremble.

"Our lineage plans to strike at the one-month celebration. We're only here to set up formations. Hurry, and don't let the Ye Family discover us, or we'll all have more trouble than we can carry."

"Set up the grand teleportation formation quickly, then we'll return to our lineages together."

The Infernal Lion Race expert had a fiery temper and was unwilling to waste time.

"Don't worry. Even if our Three Great Immortal Forces lack sufficient reserves and fail to succeed..."

"Don't forget, that person... arranged our cooperation with the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone Remnants!"

"With experts from the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone present, the Divine Emperor's son is certain to die!"

They had come to prepare in advance, setting up Teleportation Arrays within several Divine Mountains.

On the day of the one-month celebration, they would seize the moment when the Eternal Ye Family relaxed its vigilance, strike with the force of thunder, and kill the Divine Emperor's son to prevent future trouble.

As Ye Tian watched this unfold, flames blazed in his eyes.

They... were trying to ruin his plans to laze around.

They intended to attack him within the Eternal Ye Family, during his own one-month celebration.

Damn it, who did I offend? I've done nothing but slack off and lie around, and they're still targeting me?

But after hearing the Infernal Lion Race expert's words, he immediately sank into thought.

The Eternal Ye Family was protected by formations. To enter and leave freely, they would have to bypass every formation.

Could it be... there was some hidden secret behind all this?!
