She beat her daughter and then cursed her father!

"At the end, she held my hand and said how much she wanted to cook for me for the rest of her life.

I asked her if she regretted it.

She said she didn't, and she wanted me to protect the child.

Her eyes were full of pleading; she said that if anything happened to the child, she would never forgive me for the rest of her life.

I was truly a fool to actually listen to her. She was clearly just an ordinary person with no cultivation, yet somehow she found her way into my heart.

The daughter was eventually born. She took just one look and said to call her Rushui, hoping she wouldn't be so aggressive.

I have been overbearing and dominant all my life; even my former Family could not interfere in my affairs.

But that day, I was cowardly—so cowardly that I couldn't even snatch her life back.

She passed away, and as I held my daughter, she felt like a stranger to me.

I didn't know what to do. She was ugly, wrinkled, and cried constantly; it was irritating.

But then, her tiny hand suddenly grabbed my finger, and she flashed a smile at me.

That day, I both cried and laughed. Even a man at the Thirty-Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace like me could suffer an emotional breakdown.

But she was truly ugly, and more than that, she was born with Dead Meridians, destined not to live past a year.

That foolish woman was gone, but the child was innocent. Since she had Dead Meridians, I would change that.

That day, looking at that dead, stupid woman and the child in my arms, I had an Epiphany and created the One Qi into Three Immortals technique.

I began searching for ways to treat her, but I tried everything. Immortal medicines—even those that extend lifespan—were useless; there was no way to change her innate Dead Meridians.

When she was on the verge of death, I suppressed the madness within me and gave her a jade bead from my Wen Family, hoping that in her next life, both she and that stupid woman would be reborn into good circumstances.

But then a miracle occurred: that bead, which carried the Luck of my Wen Family, was actually absorbed by her.

That day, a mad plan began to brew in my heart.

To channel the Luck of the Eastern Region into her body and let her undergo a transformation.

I Cultivated like a madman until I achieved a Breakthrough to the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

I gained a profound realization regarding the One Qi into Three Immortals technique.

First, I killed a pawn in the Eastern Region, the so-called Spirit Refining.

Because I had already set my sights on him long ago.

The so-called Medicinal Pills he refined were said to be able to gather a person's Luck.

Those so-called human elixirs were complete rubbish; they only became effective after I improved them.

Another thought took root in my mind: I would fabricate an identity that stood above everyone else.

And so, I invented the title of Domain Inspector.

The Clones I split off were all at the Thirty-Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Palace; once they combined...

The Old Ancestors, Sect Masters, Manor Lords, Palace Lords, and Hall Masters of those four major powers were naturally no match for me.

My plan began to unfold.

I succeeded in my schemes. I obtained the destiny immortal weapons of the four major powers—the Creation Heavenly Mansion, the Yingtian Immortal Palace, the Tianyuan Star Palace, and the Sun Temple—and the four major powers were destroyed.

That day, my daughter's Dead Meridians were completely cleansed, but I felt it wasn't enough.

So I entered the Central Region, assumed a different identity, and joined other forces. As I gradually revealed my strength, I took control of many of them.

I had them attack the Eastern Region. Because the four major powers had been destroyed, the Eastern Region was quickly devoured by other forces.

A significant amount of the Eastern Region's Luck was also consumed.

The Eastern Region could not be allowed to fall completely, so I moved against the branches of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan.

I made them guard the East Sea and created an identity that forced those three clans to obey only my commands.

At the same time, I left with the destiny immortal weapons of those forces to continue cleansing my daughter.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, a barrier suddenly appeared around the Eastern Region, leaving even me completely baffled.

I couldn't even leave the Eastern Region anymore; I was trapped here.

At least my daughter had finished being cleansed by the Luck and had even transformed into an Innate Dao Body.

But the transformation was still not perfect, so I Sealed her away.

Unable to go anywhere else, I developed a Spirit Refining Palace that existed in name only and had them refine human elixirs.

The Luck within the Spirit Refining Palace's destiny immortal weapon increased rapidly, and I used that Luck to continuously cleanse my daughter's Physique.

Because the Eastern Region was Sealed, I didn't dare allow any major movements, fearing that with too few experts, the forces would be destroyed too quickly and everything would come to naught.

I simply let the Spirit Refining Palace appear from time to time, eventually being destroyed only to rise again from the ashes.

This continued for over ten million years. Rushui's Physique had long since finished its transformation, and her Luck was even immense.

She had clearly succeeded, and everything I planned was set to succeed, completely helping her defy heaven and change her fate.

But all of this has been ruined by you.

Chu Xinghe, you truly deserve to die! Everything was on the verge of success, but now it has all been destroyed by you."

Looking at the frenzied Grand Elder Wen, Chu Xinghe remained indifferent.

Their stances were simply opposed.

Before, he too had thought that Grand Elder Wen had some grand scheme.

Who would have thought the goal was merely to help his daughter transform.

Wen Rushui lay on the ground, looking at her father.

"I'm sorry, I failed."

Upon hearing Wen Rushui's words, the madness in Grand Elder Wen's eyes vanished.

"It's nothing. I am your father. If you failed, I will take it all back for you."

Wen Rushui shook her head. "Father, just leave. My Dao Heart has already collapsed.

You have schemed so much for me and have been so tired all these years. I hope you will live for yourself."

Chu Xinghe said nothing.

So you two are a picture of deep father-daughter affection, and I'm the villain.

Grand Elder Wen looked at Chu Xinghe with cold eyes.

"Let go of my daughter."

Chu Xinghe applied pressure with his foot.

Bang.

Wen Rushui was stepped directly into the ground.

"I'm very moved by your father-daughter bond, but you both must die."

Grand Elder Wen burst out laughing.

"Kid, when I dominated the Eastern Region, you weren't even a thought yet.

In the entire Eastern Region, I, Grand Elder Wen, am the sky itself.

Whomever I want to live shall live, and whomever I want to die shall die."

Chu Xinghe looked at Grand Elder Wen and said faintly, "Then why didn't that foolish woman you spoke of live?"

The words Grand Elder Wen was about to spit out came to an abrupt halt.

His finger trembled as he pointed at Chu Xinghe.

"Chu Xinghe, do you truly refuse to let her go?"

Chu Xinghe shook his head. "I said, today, either she or I must die."

Looking at his daughter stepped into the ground, Grand Elder Wen's heart bled.

"You're looking for death."

Chu Xinghe clicked his tongue.

"Do you really think your daughter was my match? If I wanted to kill her, it wouldn't have taken nearly this long."

Grand Elder Wen's eyes narrowed; he was somewhat uncertain about Chu Xinghe's meaning.

Just then, Wen Rushui coughed.

She suddenly thought of something, her eyes filled with fear and apprehension.

"You... you... could it be that you..."

Wen Rushui didn't finish her sentence.

From the answer on the corner of Chu Xinghe's mouth, she had already confirmed it.

Grand Elder Wen also thought of something.

He suddenly looked up at the sky.

Rumble.

Above the Nine Heavens, thunderclouds gathered.

That pair of eyes, which contained no emotion, had undergone a change.

Looking closely, they were similar to Chu Xinghe's current gaze.

Wen Rushui closed her eyes.

No wonder she had felt such a strange sensation while fighting Chu Xinghe.
