The heavy wheels of the spiritual transport rattled unevenly over the stone path, sending sharp vibrations through the iron floorboards of the cage. Long Jingchen sat with his back pressed against the freezing metal, his arms wrapped protectively around Xiaoxiao as the dense fog outside grew thicker. The carriage veered sharply off the main road, the smooth ride turning rough as it crawled along the isolated, dark edge of the misty Bamboo Grove.Suddenly, the vehicle ground to a complete, sudden halt, the spiritual engine dying out with a low, sputtering hiss that left only the sound of dripping rain. The vast bamboo stalks towered over them like giant wooden prison bars, blocking out the morning light and leaving the area completely deserted. Jingchen slowly lifted his head, his violet eyes flashing through the dim space as he looked at the heavy partition door."Why have we stopped here?" Jingchen asked, his voice flat and calm, showing absolutely zero panic as he addressed the fron

The heavy iron doors of the central banquet hall swung open with a booming echo. Long Jingchen and his sister weren't thrown into a dark dungeon cell. Instead, the guards ruthlessly shoved them straight onto the polished floor of the grand pavilion. Brilliant crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over hundreds of wealthy nobles dressed in fine silk robes.The Millennium Celebration had shifted into a highly restrictive, private feast for the absolute rulers of the realm. The corrupt patriarchs, high-ranking elders, and leaders of the Three Sovereign Houses sat in full regalia around the massive tables. At the head of the center table sat the ruthless Chu Grandfather, his cold eyes scanning the room alongside the patriarchs of the other two allied lineages.Tianyou’s father stood behind the old man, a cold sweat breaking out across his neck as he desperately forced a proud smile onto his face. He had spent the entire morning pulling massive political stri

The midnight storm roared like a furious beast across the eastern peaks, but Long Jingchen moved through the blinding sheets of rain without making a sound. He held his little sister tightly against his chest, shielding her frail body from the freezing wind with his dark, wet cloak. High above the ridges, massive golden beams of spiritual energy sliced through the clouds, sweeping the mountain layout in a frantic search grid.The Chu Family Patriarch had unleashed the sect's high-tier detection arrays, hunting desperately for the mysterious thief who had siphoned away Chu Tianyou’s entire gold core. Jingchen looked up at the flashing golden lights, his violet eyes completely calm as a faint translucent screen hummed silently behind his eyelids. The SSS-rank technique was perfectly active, masking their signatures and turning them into complete phantoms.[SOVEREIGN CLOAKING TECHNIQUE WORKING AT OPTIMAL LEVEL...

Chu Xuan collapsed onto his knees inside the inner pavilion, his expensive robes stained with mud and his hands trembling violently. He couldn't lift his head to meet the burning gaze of Chu Tianyou, who sat rigidly on a gold-carved jade throne. The air inside the room was dangerously hot, vibrating with a tense, chaotic energy that smelled faintly of scorched copper."Speak before I incinerate you right where you kneel," Chu Tianyou growled, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his dragon-bone bow. "Vane and his entire execution team are dead, and you crawl back here empty-handed. Give me a reason why I shouldn't take your head.""Young master, it... it wasn't my fault," Chu Xuan stammered, his teeth clicking together as a cold sweat rolled down his back. "The long clan trash didn't die in the abyssal lake. He returned, and he isn't alone anymore. Saintess Ji Qingwu has taken him under her protection."Tianyou’s eyes widened slightly, a sudden spike of raw panic flaring through h

The morning sun had barely cleared the mountain peaks when the heavy stomping of boots shattered the quiet of the outer slave sector. Long Jingchen sat cross-legged on the dirt floor, his violet eyes instantly tracking a trail of dried mud by the doorway. The air grew thick and heavy as five men dressed in crimson tactical armor surrounded the wooden shack, their weapons drawn."Check the room! The blood trail from the courtyard leads straight to this dump!" a harsh voice barked from outside. The rotting wooden door was kicked inward, splinters flying everywhere as the leader of Chu Tianyou’s elite execution squad stepped inside. His eyes narrowed as he spotted Jingchen sitting calmly beside his shivering, pale sister.Jingchen didn't move a single muscle, but his mind was already evaluating the baseline spiritual energy of the men before him. He could easily unleash his new gravity suppression and turn all five of them into dust within a split second. But he knew that hiding his supr

A voice—cold, mechanical, and louder than any thunder—echoed from the deepest trenches of the abyssal lake, resonating inside his mind. The suffocating cold of the water vanished, replaced by a blinding golden matrix that exploded from his core to shatter the dead silence of the deep.[WARNING: HOST LIFE ESSENCE AT 1%.
