Give Him a Dignified End!

Ye Tianming left the An Residence and headed straight for the Ye Residence.

What had happened at the An Clan had no effect on him whatsoever.

Women?

Once he became a great emperor, what kind of woman would he be unable to have?

First build a career, then chase women!

Once he had a career, what woman would he be unable to get?

After returning to the Ye Family, he went alone to the mountain behind the residence. He sat cross-legged on the ground and took out hundreds of sheets of paper, each one densely covered in writing.

Just then, a Little Pagoda hanging at his waist suddenly trembled. Soon, a voice came slowly from within it. "You've been writing this jumble of nonsense since you were nine. What exactly are you trying to do?"

The Ye Family had found and taken him in. This Little Pagoda and the sword at his waist, named Walking the Dao, had been with him since he was little.

Ye Tianming said, "Tower Ancestor, I'm creating a cultivation technique."

"Holy shit?"

The Little Pagoda was stunned. "You... what did you say?"

Ye Tianming said solemnly, "For an ordinary person to defy the heavens and change their fate is as hard as climbing to the heavens. At its core, it comes down to two things: money and cultivation techniques. If I create a technique that lets me absorb Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth at will, I'll kill two birds with one stone. Cultivation won't cost me a thing, and the Spiritual Qi of heaven, earth, and the universe will be mine for the taking."

The Little Pagoda: "..."

Ye Tianming began organizing and compiling his work. It was almost finished.

After the great battle a thousand years ago, the Guanxuan Sword Master had redefined all the realms. The current realms were the Physical Body Realm, Innate Realm, True Law Realm, Myriad Law Realm, Minor Tribulation Realm, Major Tribulation Realm, Ascendant Peak Realm, Dharma Aspect Realm, Immortal Realm, Supreme Immortal Realm, Time Immortal...

He was currently in the Innate Realm. Upon reaching it, one could draw Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body to temper the flesh, internal organs, and bones, greatly strengthening the organs and body and allowing the body to undergo another transformation and form a Vajra Body. One would move like thunder, possess the strength of a hundred elephants, and be able to break rivers with a single punch.

For ordinary people, the Innate Realm was already the limit. To advance further, they needed a high-level cultivation technique, and to the Ye Family and countless ordinary people, such a thing was undoubtedly the stuff of legend. Besides a high-level technique, they also needed a great number of spirit crystals.

If he wanted to advance further now, he could only go to Guanxuan Academy, where he might have a chance to obtain a cultivation technique. But that would not solve the problem of money.

Thus, he wanted to create a cultivation technique that cost nothing to practice.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would be his for the taking!

Originally, he had not been in such a hurry. He had been suppressing his cultivation, hoping to bring each realm to its utmost limit and let the water overflow when the vessel was full. But now, after killing someone from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, he faced a crisis. He knew the Zhao Family and the Immortal Treasure Pavilion would never let the matter rest.

At the first light of dawn, Ye Tianming sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a seal before his chest.

Suddenly, countless streams of white Spiritual Qi visible to the naked eye rushed at him from heaven and earth, plunging between his brows and entering his chest. Ye Tianming felt as though a spring breeze had brushed over his internal organs, leaving him refreshed and clear-eyed.

Ye Tianming suddenly said in a trembling voice, "This is bad, Tower Ancestor. Something's wrong."

The Little Pagoda asked in confusion, "Didn't you already succeed?"

Ye Tianming said anxiously, "I don't know how to stop. Oh no, I'm going to explode..."

The Little Pagoda: "..."

Ye Tianming's cultivation was soaring madly, but at the same time, far too much Spiritual Qi was entering his body. His dantian and body simply could not withstand so much Spiritual Qi at once, and his internal organs and entire body were about to burst.

Ye Tianming could no longer hold on. His eyes closed, and he passed out. But the instant he did, his cultivation rose straight from the True Law Realm to the Myriad Law Realm.

Still, countless streams of Spiritual Qi continued to enter his body. Although his body looked as if it were about to burst, there was actually nothing wrong with it. Not only was he fine, but his body was even slowly absorbing the excess energy.

The Little Pagoda said softly, "How could this little bit of Spiritual Qi possibly make the legendary Innate Mortal Physique burst? But I have to let this little fellow suffer a little, so he'll be more careful next time."

The next day, Ye Tianming woke up. When he saw that he had reached the Myriad Law Realm, he was overjoyed.

He had succeeded!

Ye Tianming broke into a wide grin.

An hour later, he returned to his room and began packing, preparing to leave for Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy.

Rather than wait for them to come for revenge, he would take the initiative.

Your Zhao Family is so damn cocky because of Zhao Yu. I'll go kill Zhao Yu right now.

As he was packing, Ye Nan and his sister-in-law Li E suddenly walked in.

Li E walked up to Ye Tianming, took out a ring, and handed it to him.

Ye Tianming was somewhat surprised. "A storage ring?"

A storage ring was naturally an ordinary thing to a wealthy family, but to the Ye Family, it was undoubtedly very precious. Clearly, this one belonged to his sister-in-law. The Li Clan was in business and had more money than the Ye Family.

Inside the storage ring, besides the clothes and daily necessities Li E had just packed for him, were nine hundred spirit crystals.

The Ye Family's expenses for an entire year came to only three hundred spirit crystals. To him, nine hundred spirit crystals was undoubtedly an enormous fortune right now.

When Ye Guan saw the spirit crystals, he immediately refused. "Sister-in-law, I can't accept these spirit crystals."

He knew that the spirit crystals were mostly from Li E's dowry, because the Ye Family could not possibly come up with such a large sum at present.

Li E said gently, "How will you make the journey to the academy without money? And once you get there, you'll have tuition and all sorts of cultivation expenses. There'll be so many things you need to spend money on."

A warm current flowed through Ye Tianming's heart, but he still refused. "Sister-in-law..."

Li E placed the storage ring in his hand. "Tianming, we're family. There's no need to stand on ceremony. When you're away, don't be too frugal. Spend what you need to. If you run short, send word home. Your brother and I will find a way."

Ye Tianming gripped the storage ring tightly, his eyes growing moist. "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving."

With that, he turned and walked outside.

Ye Nan and Li E watched as Ye Tianming disappeared into the courtyard in the distance.

A moment later, an old man came to Ye Nan's side and said in a low voice, "Heir, while I was protecting Young Master Tianming, I discovered that he has already reached the Myriad Law Realm..."

He hesitated, then added, "Young master, he's far too monstrous. I fear he may threaten your position in the future... why don't we..."

Ye Nan suddenly turned and slapped him.

Smack!

The slap sent the old man straight to his knees.

Ye Nan looked down at him. "As the heir, if I, Ye Nan, cannot bear to see my brothers surpass me, am I worthy of being the heir? The more outstanding Tianming is, the happier I am, because that is a blessing not only for me as his elder brother, but for our entire Ye Family!"

With that, he struck the crown of the old man's head with his palm. "You sow discord and drive a wedge between the brothers of our clan. You deserve death... someone, drag him out and feed him to the dogs!"

The old man: "..."

In the courtyard, Ye Zong had gathered the younger generation of the Ye Family. He looked at the boys and girls, who were just as youthful as he was. "Eldest Brother is busy, and Brother Tianming has gone to take care of business. Now I'm the eldest brother of the Ye Family, so you all have to listen to me. Starting tomorrow, stop cultivating so hard. Rest when you need to."

A boy waved his fist. "Brother Ye Zong, we're not afraid of hard work or hardship. We'll cultivate for the rise of the Ye Family."

Ye Zong waved his little hand. "Hard work isn't worth a penny in the face of talent."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Zong waved his fist. "Don't work hard. Once I become a great emperor, I'll enhance the bloodline of the entire clan and send you all soaring right where you stand!!"

Everyone: "..."
