11: As the child of destiny, what's wrong with picking up a treasure?

“Old Tuo, I once accidentally heard my mother mention that you have hidden injuries in your body,” Chu Tian said, turning to ask Old Tuo, who was at the doorway.

What he said was naturally fabricated. Old Tuo had stayed on Holy Emperor Peak for many years and had never made a move. His hidden injuries were only exposed when the Chu Family was annihilated in the original plot, something even Chu Tian King didn't know.

However, since Jian Kongzhu wasn't present, anything unexplainable could just be blamed on her.

“Just now, when I came out of Eternal Heaven Hall, the Void Realm suddenly split open, and a Medicinal Pill fell out. It looked very much like the legendary Creation Divine Pill. Old Tuo, could you see if it is?” Chu Tian casually bluffed, walked over, and placed the Medicinal Pill in Old Tuo's hand.

Chu Tian King was somewhat unreliable.

Since the Creation Divine Pill was a System product, it couldn't be fake.

Moreover, he didn't need it now; it would be better to use it to heal Old Tuo, adding a top-tier combatant to the Chu Family.

Buzz!

A rich Medicinal Pill fragrance suddenly permeated the entire vast palace.

“Creation Divine Pill,” Old Tuo's body trembled as he looked at the Medicinal Pill in his hand.

“The top-tier Divine Pill that, according to legend, only the Imperial Venerable of the Medicinal God Clan could refine, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones,” Chu Tianyun instantly appeared beside Old Tuo. When he saw the nine faint purple patterns emanating from the Medicinal Pill, he was horrified beyond belief.

“It's exactly as described in the ancient texts.”

“Just by sniffing a bit of the Medicinal Pill's Qi, the minor Dao injuries I sustained in my youth have already healed.”

Chu Tianyun's eyes widened as he looked at Chu Tian and asked, “Young Master, did you really pick this up on the road?”

“Is it really the legendary Creation Divine Pill?” Chu Tian asked with a surprised expression.

In this Xuanhuan world, top-tier Prodigies can trigger a great Dao resonance upon birth. While it's rare for them to be hit by a supreme treasure while walking, it's not unheard of.

As the Chaos Divine Demon Body, the sole Son of Destiny in the future, why couldn't he do it?

“Since that's the case, Old Tuo, please take it quickly. It should be beneficial for 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 regrow flesh on bones, almost equivalent to a second life. This old servant is merely a servant of the Chu Family; how could I dare accept such a grand gift from the Young Master?”

“Madam's Wisdom Eye is truly sharp, to have actually discerned this old servant's hidden injuries. However, they are merely minor injuries, nothing to worry about.”

Having been tormented by hidden injuries for so many years, through countless days and nights, how could Old Tuo not be moved? Nevertheless, he returned the Divine Pill to Chu Tian.

“Old Tuo, it's just a Medicinal Pill. Compared to your contributions to the Chu Family, this is nothing. I am merely expressing a token of my parents' gratitude,” Chu Tian humbly stated.

After all, with the System and so many Sons of Luck, he could exchange for it by obtaining destiny points. This Creation Divine Pill, while said to be precious, was indeed nothing to him.

No matter how precious external objects are, they cannot compare to the peace of mind brought by a top-tier expert presiding over things.

“Old Tuo, you really have hidden injuries? For so many years, we never even noticed!”

Chu Tianyun was very shocked, then immediately said, “Young Master is right. Old Tuo, your contributions to the Chu Family are immense. These things are what we juniors should do.

This creation profound pill will be considered a gift from the Family to you.

The Family will use other items to exchange with Young Master.”

Chu Tianyun pondered for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, “Young Master, in three days, the Holy Sky Pool of the Sect's Holy Land will open.

The Family will now use this Opportunity to enter the Holy Sky Pool to exchange with you.

The Holy Sky Pool was formed from the Physical Body of Duanmu Saint Ancestor and is of great use for Heavenly God experts in forging their Divine Soul.

You have already reached the tenth stage of bone forging, reaching the stage where you can begin Spirit Refining. The Holy Sky Pool will also be of immense benefit to your entry into Spirit Refining, and its value is absolutely no less than that of the Creation Divine Pill.”

After Chu Tianyun finished speaking, he looked at Old Tuo and said, “Old Tuo, now you can take the Creation Divine Pill with peace of mind, right?”

“In that case, this old servant has overstepped. Thank you, Young Master and Third Master, for your great kindness. Everything this old servant has, and this life, were given by the Chu Family. How could I possibly deserve such care?”

Old Tuo no longer feigned humility. He understood how important this Medicinal Pill was to him and immediately consumed the Creation Divine Pill.

Buzz!

Old Tuo closed his eyes, and a purple divine radiance flowed, the power of creation flashing and then disappearing.

Holy Sky Pool.

Upon hearing this name, Chu Tian's heart trembled slightly.

He hadn't expected to encounter this place so soon.

Within the Holy Sky Pool, there was a tremendous Opportunity hidden, which was later obtained by the Son of Luck, directly affecting the balance of the Saint Heaven Sect.

The Saint Heaven Sect had a Legacy of millions of years, enduring vast changes, and naturally experienced various periods of rise and fall, as well as crises.

And this Duanmu Saint Ancestor was the restorer of the Saint Heaven Sect, helping it overcome a crucial period of decline.

The Duanmu Family is also a top-tier Family within the Saint Heaven Sect today, second only to the two major Families.

Duanmu Saint Ancestor's Physical Body was hidden within the Holy Sky Pool, and after hundreds of thousands of years of refinement by the essence of heaven and earth, a nascent spiritual consciousness had initially formed.

Ye Fan, during the Holy Sky Pool's opening a decade or so later, in the once-a-century grand baptism for young Disciples, gained the recognition of the nascent Duanmu Saint Ancestor, who became extremely reliant on him. This indirectly led to Ye Fan gaining the support of the Duanmu Family, thus establishing a firm foothold within the Saint Heaven Sect.

A living Duanmu Saint Ancestor—this was absolutely an immense Opportunity, one of the greatest Opportunities Ye Fan obtained.

“If I can enter early, I might be able to make some arrangements there.”

Chu Tian showed a smile to his third uncle, Chu Tianyun. This guy, though in the original plot, didn't play much of a role for the Chu Family and was a villain who died before three appearances, now his utility was maximized.

Moreover, from his memories, he knew that it wasn't as Chu Tianyun claimed—that the Family was exchanging for the Creation Divine Pill. This Opportunity to enter the Holy Sky Pool was actually Chu Tianyun's.

Chu Tianyun had voluntarily given up this precious Opportunity to enter the Holy Sky Pool for his Spirit Refining.

“Thank you, Third Uncle, for giving this precious Opportunity to your nephew. Your nephew also wished to enter the Holy Sky Pool for Spirit Refining to lay an unparalleled Foundation.”

Chu Tianyun was somewhat surprised to hear that Chu Tian knew, then smiled with emotion, saying, “Third Uncle is old. Even if I enter the Holy Sky Pool, I can at most advance one or two minor Realms.

The Hengtian Continent hasn't been peaceful these past few years. The various Sects are at loggerheads, and the younger generation is full of Prodigies, engaged in fierce competition. Our Sect is even more turbulent, with the Ye Family eyeing us covetously. If this continues, even with our deep Foundation, our Chu Family might be in danger.

It's better to give this Opportunity to you, Young Master, to secure a future for our Chu Family.

In the future, if you have the chance, just help me take care of that unruly brat of mine.”

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

Actually, if Chu Tian hadn't topped the Earth Ranking, he wouldn't have given up this Opportunity.

“Thank you, Third Uncle,” Chu Tian said sincerely, feeling an unbidden sigh of emotion. As expected of an old, prominent Family that could endure for a million years without falling—united and far-sighted.

What Chu Tianyun said was simple, merely advancing one or two minor Realms, yet how many experts fought with their lives for even a small improvement, only to fail?

Cowardly old father, oh cowardly old father.

You had such a good hand, yet you played it so poorly, ultimately ending in the annihilation of your entire Family, with children dying and others falling into the Demonic Path.

At this moment, Star Servant, veiled in a pure white mask, appeared outside the hall, kneeling on one knee, saying, “Star Servant greets Young Master, Third Master.”

“Rise,” Chu Tian said indifferently. “Has the interrogation of Juer yielded results?”

Star Servant glanced at Chu Tianyun, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

“Ah, hahahaha, she doesn't even trust me. Young Master, you have a loyal and good servant,” Chu Tianyun chuckled, not minding, and was about to turn to the side.

“It's fine, Star Servant, just speak directly. Third Uncle is Family,” Chu Tian said calmly.

There was no need to secretly carry out the forced capture of Juer from the Liu Family.

Not to mention, Chu Tianyun was the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Without his tacit approval, Juer couldn't have commanded the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.

“Young Lord, this subordinate and many Law Enforcement Hall Disciples used various harsh tortures, but Juer, even when her consciousness was on the verge of collapse, would rather die than confess.”

Star Servant gritted her teeth and said, “In desperation, this servant took the liberty of using Soul Searching techniques and learned the full truth.”

“This servant used a Demonic Path secret technique. Please punish this servant, Third Master and Young Master.”

Countless eons ago, the Heavenly Demons nearly destroyed the Hengtian Continent, which is why Demonic Path secret techniques are not tolerated on the Hengtian Continent.

This was also the reason why the Great Hatred Demon Lord later fell into the Demonic Path and was hunted by all the Sects of the Hengtian Continent.

“Continue,” Chu Tian said expressionlessly. He naturally knew all this, but in his heart, there was never a distinction between good and evil.

Secret techniques have no inherent good or bad; they are merely tools, means to achieve an end.
