1: System Arrival

After ten years of closed-door cultivation, I suffered from Qi Deviation.

At the moment of total exhaustion, I acquired the Family Investment System, which allows me to invest in the younger generation of the Family.

Successful investments grant massive rewards.

From now on, I will defy the heavens, change my fate, and walk toward the Peak of life.

——

Tian Yuan City, Yang family.

Inside the ancestral residence.

"Pfft!"

Yang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, spat out a mouthful of blood.

His breath had been weak, and as he slowly opened his eyes, they were filled with fatigue and confusion.

Eight years!

Who would have thought that eight years of bitter cultivation would result in this?

As the Clan Chief of the Yang family, he had arrived here through Transmigration from Blue Star, living his life diligently and wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao.

Watching the Yang family flourish bit by bit.

Watching, just a step away from the Life and Death Realm.

But.

Eight years!

Bloodline decaying, Realm falling.

He was unwilling to accept this!!!

When others experience Transmigration, their Golden Finger appears early, but he had never seen a Golden Finger from birth until death.

Could it be... that his life would end just like this?

But he had not yet reached the Peak! Nor had he seen the magnificent wonders of the world!

Years ago, when Yang Yi first arrived through Transmigration, he understood that this was a magical and magnificent world.

There were great beings who could move mountains and drain seas, and experts who could invert the sun and moon.

They could use supreme power to transcend above the Mortal, and the Life and Death Realm was exactly that—above the Mortal!

That was the beginning of the path of cultivation!

【Ding!】

【Detected that the host has deep obsessions!】

【Family Investment System loading...】

【Loading successful. Do you wish to open the Newbie Gift Pack?】

The System prompt sounded, and Yang Yi's eyes suddenly brightened.

It's here! It has finally arrived.

After decades of bitter cultivation, only at the end of his life did the System arrive!

However, this so-called Family Investment System seemed incomparably powerful. With this thing, reaching the Life and Death Realm would be nothing.

"Open!"

Yang Yi gathered his breath, suppressing his palpitating heart.

The moment the System appeared, Yang Yi felt the shackles within his body loosen. Reaching the Life and Death Realm was now only a matter of moments.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations to the host for opening the Newbie Gift Pack and obtaining a Heaven-Grade Bloodline!】

【Obtained Investment Points: 3】

【Current Task: As the Clan Chief of the Yang family, the Family has suddenly encountered a disaster, and the clansmen have suffered heavy casualties. To save the clansmen, please return to reinforce them immediately!】

Seeing this line of text, Yang Yi's expression changed drastically.

A Heaven-Grade Bloodline! He was just one step away from reaching the Life and Death Realm.

He had not expected to receive such a precious gift at this critical moment.

As long as he absorbed this Heaven-Grade Bloodline, let alone the Life and Death Realm, even advancing another small Realm would be effortless.

Coupled with the task prompted by the System.

How could Yang Yi not know that something had happened to the Yang family!

"Damn it!"

Yang Yi let out a low shout.

There was no time to lose! When he looked again, he found that he had already stepped into the Life and Death Realm!

"System!"

Yang Yi whispered in surprise.

"Host, the Yang family is currently in a critical situation and requires the host to return for rescue immediately!"

"With the help of the Heaven-Grade Bloodline, it can ensure the host turns danger into safety at critical moments!"

【Current Task: As the new Clan Chief, the Family has suddenly encountered a disaster, and the clansmen have suffered heavy casualties. To save the clansmen, please return to reinforce them immediately!】

Hearing the prompt, Yang Yi's expression was grim.

He had been in closed-door cultivation for eight years, ignoring worldly affairs.

He knew nothing about what had happened within the Family.

Right now.

The System had issued a task; something must have happened within the Family.

Yang Yi did not panic. Having stepped into the Life and Death Realm, there would be no more opponents in this mere Tian Yuan City!

Thinking of this, Yang Yi did not delay any longer. He sat cross-legged again and began to absorb the Heaven-Grade Bloodline!

In the main hall of the Yang family.

Li Family head, Li Hailong, was full of smiles.

"Clan Chief Yang, I know a thing or two about the Yang family's recent situation."

"My Li Family has been developing well recently. If Clan Chief Yang can concede the Family Holy Land, relying on the previous relationship between the Li Family and the Yang family, we will not sit idly by regarding what happens next!"

Li Hailong appeared to be all smiles, but his gaze held no warmth.

"Li Hailong, do you dare to be so presumptuous only because you know our Clan Chief is not here?"

"This Family Holy Land is the foundation of our Yang family; how could it be lent to you?" Yang Ming shook his head.

His words lacked confidence, but his attitude was exceptionally firm.

"Oh?"

"Just based on the current situation of your Yang family, are you sure you can guard the Family Holy Land?" Li Hailong raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of threat.

"Want to try?"

"My Yang family is full of loyalty and righteousness. Even if only I remain, you will never be able to forcibly seize our Family Holy Land!" Yang Ming stood up.

As he spoke, his robes fluttered violently. Origin Qi surged within his body. His Aura climbed steadily.

"I am not discussing this with you; I am merely notifying you."

Li Hailong chuckled.

"If you do not hand it over, I will slaughter the entire Family!"

He then laughed loudly, completely disregarding Yang Ming.

He did not care about a mere Yuantong Realm cultivator.

If the Yang family Clan Chief Yang Yi were still alive, he would be a Tongxuan Realm expert, and he naturally would not dare to act rashly.

But this Yang Yi had not returned for eight years! He was most likely dead.

In such a situation, the entire Yang family was nothing but lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

"Li Hailong, don't go too far!"

Yang Ming roared, his Aura climbing once more.

But soon, his expression changed abruptly.

The fluctuation of his blood and Qi caused his old illness to flare up, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Yang Ming's Aura plummeted rapidly.

Li Hailong's face turned gloomy.

"Then there is no need to keep you alive!"

Li Hailong waved his large hand forcefully in the air. He directly ordered the slaughter of the Yang family!

Immediately, a large number of powerful Martial Artists stepped out and appeared in the main hall of the Yang family.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Even though none of the Yang family's younger generation were cowards, they were still struggling to hold on.

As the one with the highest cultivation, Yang Ming naturally took the lead.

But before he could make a move, Li Hailong had already acted first.

"Pfft!"

Yang Ming was directly knocked to the ground by Li Hailong's punch.

With a slash of the blade, in an instant, Li Hailong stopped with a sneer.

"Yang Ming, if you want to blame someone, blame the changing tides of fortune. Back then, in front of the Yang family, I was lower than a pig or a dog!"

"But now, you are the fish on my chopping block!"

"Die!"

"Hahaha!!!" Li Hailong laughed wildly.

The long blade in his hand slashed down rapidly, exceptionally fierce.

"You beast! Stop!!!"

A shout was heard from afar.

The voice was not loud, but the powerful force seemed able to pierce through everything.

Just one sentence made Li Hailong's eardrums ache.

The movement of his hand could not help but slow down.

A figure swept over rapidly like lightning, with fair, jade-like fingers gripping the long blade!

The look in those eyes was filled with Killing Intent!

"Foster Father!"

Seeing the person who arrived, Yang Ming's expression changed drastically.

"Foster Father, why have you returned!"

Yang Yi's eyes were filled with oppressive Killing Intent.

"Today, if anyone hurts my Yang family's younger generation!"

I will execute them regardless of their strength!

"Kill!"

Yang Yi acted immediately.

A fierce attack landed on Li Hailong.

"You! Pfft!"

Li Hailong spat out a mouthful of blood and exploded, dying on the spot.

Noticing this scene, the surrounding people could not help but be shocked.

"Clan Chief!"

"Clan Chief, have you already stepped into the Life and Death Realm and become extraordinary?" Yang Ming had excellent insight; with just one glance, he saw the key point.

"Just luck!" Yang Yi nodded.

If it weren't for the System appearing, his old life would have been gone long ago.

It was indeed luck.

【Ding!】

【Discovered a green-quality clansman, investment can be made!】

【Invest in a Cultivation Technique, the Yellow-Grade High Grade Cultivation Technique "Guiyi Gong", and you can obtain the Profound Rank Peak-Grade Cultivation Technique "Guiyuan Jue"!】

【Do you wish to invest?】
