Mission Issued, the Extreme Realm

At that moment, the Ninth Ancestor burst out laughing. "Good! Excellent!" The more he looked at Yuan Zhexian, the more he liked him. Not only was his constitution one without equal through the ages, but he had also been born with an Emperor Weapon, and, most importantly, it could even be upgraded. If word got out, a bloody storm would surely sweep across the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Then the Ninth Ancestor quickly turned serious. "No one present today is permitted to breathe a word of what happened. If anyone leaks the secret, I will deal with them according to the Lineage's rules."

"Yes, we shall obey the Ninth Ancestor's command."

"Zhexian, come with me." Ignoring the others, he took Yuan Zhexian to the ancestral land's forbidden zone.

Inside the forbidden zone was a small world of its own. The Spiritual Qi there was ten times denser than outside, and dozens of stone coffins made from Divine Source Stone stood in the middle of the zone.

The nine ice coffins at the very front were the most striking, each considerably larger than the others. They were made of Primordial True Ice. Primordial ice coffins were supreme treasures that could preserve one's lifespan and even allow those lying inside to cultivate in their dreams.

They were exceedingly rare and precious. An ordinary immortal imperial clan would be incredibly fortunate to possess a bowl-sized piece of Primordial True Ice. Yet my Lineage was so wealthy; it truly had a vast household and a great estate.

At the very top stood three jade coffins made from some unknown, peerless material. They gave off a warm, lustrous glow and looked exceptionally mysterious.

"Zhexian, let this old ancestor ask you: what do you cultivate for?"

The Ninth Ancestor asked.

Yuan Zhexian murmured, "First, only by growing strong can I protect those I want to protect and protect the Lineage."

"Second, there is no strongest, only stronger. I want to challenge myself and reach the strongest, the supremely strong, and forge my invincible heart."

"Good, good, good! That is how a descendant of my Yuan Clan should be. What meaning would life have without challenges? Only by challenging oneself can one reach the highest realm. It seems you have already decided to become an existence without equal through the ages, forge an invincible heart, and sweep aside all enemies."

"Very well!"

"You are already three years old. From now on, you will officially set foot on your invincible path."

"First, let me explain how the cultivation system is divided."

The Ninth Ancestor said.

"The realms are Body Tempering, Blood Moving, Grotto Heaven, Divine Ability, Dao Body, Samsara, Saint, Saint King, Great Saint, Supreme Saint, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor..."

"Each realm is divided into nine heavens. The difference in strength between each heaven is considerable, and the farther you go, the greater the gap between them."

"As for the first three realms, there is something else to know. Each has an Extreme Realm!"

"One million jin in the Body Tempering Realm."

"Ten million jin in the Blood Moving Realm."

"Ten Grotto Heavens in the Grotto Heaven Realm."

"Everyone who can reach an Extreme Realm is a monstrous genius, invincible within their realm and unparalleled through the ages."

"Unfortunately, sometimes several eras pass without producing even one such person, let alone someone who reaches the Extreme Realm in all three realms: Body Tempering, Blood Moving, and Grotto Heaven. Such a person would be a truly terrifying existence."

"In the early stages of cultivation, the focus is on tempering the body and building a foundation. That is why we had you keep your cultivation suppressed at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, and wait until you break through each Extreme Realm before entering the next realm. However, you have the Supremely Strong Chaos Body, Supreme Bone, and Double Pupils, so your body's foundation must be even stronger. That is why, before you turned three, we continually tempered your body with supreme true blood and supreme treasured medicines. This can also help your constitution reach its supremely strong potential."

"Do you understand?"

"Zhexian understands." Yuan Zhexian nodded firmly. At that moment, he adjusted his breath, and two beams of light burst from his eyes, piercing into the sky. Chaos Qi rampaged wildly through the space around him, while the Supreme Bone in his body shone with a mighty light.

"I am invincible, without equal through the ages."

"I!"

"Yuan Zhexian, shall suppress every enemy in the world and reign supreme through the ages."

Seeing that Yuan Zhexian had already formed an invincible Dao heart, the Ninth Ancestor smiled in deep satisfaction.

"It seems Zhexian will surely lead our Yuan Clan onto the path to immortality."

He gazed meaningfully into the distance. "The Immortal Realm..."

The Ninth Ancestor continued, "Zhexian, these are the three supreme arts cultivated by our Yuan Clan." He extended a slightly withered finger and gently touched Yuan Zhexian's forehead. A wisp of incomparably profound light appeared, then vanished.

Yuan Zhexian only felt three cultivation methods appear in his mind, and they had already begun circulating on their own.

"The Heavenly Origin Scripture, Supreme Origin Scripture, and Primal Origin Scripture are the Yuan Clan's inherited cultivation methods. They are supreme methods that lead directly to the domain of immortality, and rank among the finest in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, including its immortal imperial clans, immortal dynasties, and many forbidden lands."

"One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones is a cultivation method that only core members of the Yuan Clan may practice. It can create three clones. The original body can grant the clones strength according to the situation, up to eighty percent of its own power. If a clone dies, it only consumes the original body's spiritual power and mental strength."

"The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords: when the four swords become one, they can slay immortals! Along with the Grand Primordium Heavenly Sword Sect's One Sword Breaks the Heavens, it is known as one of the two strongest sword arts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands."

At this moment, Yuan Zhexian sat cross-legged, formed a seal with both hands, and practiced the Heavenly Origin Scripture. The Spiritual Qi in the Yuan Clan's ancestral forbidden zone, so dense it had nearly liquefied, began converging madly around him. His presence surged, and a powerful current of air erupted from his body. Fierce winds swept through the entire forbidden zone.

Ding~

"Host's first cultivation session detected."

"System missions officially activated."

"Mission reward for taking first place on the Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet's ranking: 10,000 mission points."

"Does the host accept?"

"Accept."

After answering in his heart, Yuan Zhexian continued, The Heaven-Suppressing Ancient Tablet? What is that thing? And first place? Ten thousand mission points? What can I buy in the shop with that?

"Host, don't be like a curious child. Everything will become clear after two years." After saying that, it ignored Yuan Zhexian and fell silent.

Time passed, and two years went by.

Yuan Zhexian could have broken through to the Divine Ability Realm, but he had kept suppressing his cultivation. One probably could not find a second person who had reached the Divine Ability Realm at five years old in countless epochs. If he told anyone, they would not believe it even if beaten to shit. But Yuan Zhexian wanted to break through the Extreme Realms of all three major realms and bring his cultivation foundation to complete perfection. Thus, he had kept himself at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

During this time, Yuan Zhexian sat cross-legged within the forbidden zone. Wisps of Chaos Qi surged through his body, extraordinarily terrifying, while a mighty pressure seemed to bear down on the entire space. Then, a massive gray vortex appeared, centered on Yuan Zhexian, filled with Chaos Qi. Chaos created all things; it could give rise to all things and destroy the myriad Daos.

Rumble!

The forbidden zone's spiritual power gathered frantically into Yuan Zhexian's body. His six Supreme Bones faintly radiated divine light through his flesh, and countless profound runes appeared incessantly in the space around him. The runes then formed a halo encircling him. At that moment, he looked incomparably solemn and sacred, like a supreme existence waiting for the heavens to bow in worship.

Just then, Yuan Zhexian opened his eyes. A wisp of brilliant purple light flashed within his Double Pupils and shot into the void of the ancestral forbidden zone. A tear appeared in the void, growing larger until it gradually formed a separate space. Inside, all was gray and dim. This was a power of the Double Pupils: Double Pupils Open Heaven and Earth.

Although Yuan Zhexian was only five years old, Chaos Qi filled the air around him, supreme divine light flickered across his body, and his Double Pupils were profoundly mysterious. Seen from afar, he looked like an immortal standing there, his dignified appearance solemn and inviolable.

At that moment, the Ninth Ancestor spoke with satisfaction from within the void. "Zhexian truly lives up to being one who possesses three supreme physiques."

Boom... Yuan Zhexian suddenly rose and threw a punch.

"What is this?" The Ninth Ancestor stared at the punch in astonishment.

A heaven-shaking roar resounded throughout the ancestral forbidden zone. Mighty pressure surged without end, and its majestic force pressed upon the space until it was nearly shattered!

That punch carried at least a million jin of force. An ordinary genius in the Body Tempering Realm would do well to muster tens of thousands of jin. Even a Dao Body Realm expert would probably struggle to withstand this punch; it was already astonishing to hear of. When his father, Yuan Changsheng, was young, his punch had only carried a little over five hundred thousand jin. Yuan Changsheng's son was far more ferocious than he had been! A million jin of force? Legend had it that during the Desolate Ancient Era, an unparalleled ancient Great Emperor who had suppressed several epochs had once thrown a punch with four hundred thousand jin of force in his youth.

"That child Zhexian truly is terrifying."

The Ninth Ancestor murmured softly under his breath.

At that moment, a mysterious ancient tablet radiating an exceedingly ancient presence suddenly appeared in the sky above the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Its brilliant light shone across the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands...
