Han Tianyi spent a week in the infirmary, feigning the soul-shattering symptoms of the Chi Clan’s forbidden art.

He kept his breathing shallow and his face pale, playing the part of a man whose foundation had been ruined.

Every morning, Fairy Chi Linghan came to check on him. She truly believed her technique had broken his soul and cut his lifespan to a mere four years.

Seeing his "weakness" day after day, her suspicion finally faded.

  • Chapter 46 – A smile without meaning

    Han Tianyi spent a week in the infirmary, feigning the soul-shattering symptoms of the Chi Clan’s forbidden art. He kept his breathing shallow and his face pale, playing the part of a man whose foundation had been ruined.Every morning, Fairy Chi Linghan came to check on him. She truly believed her technique had broken his soul and cut his lifespan to a mere four years. Seeing his "weakness" day after day, her suspicion finally faded.Once he was discharged, they wasted no time. It was finally time to head toward the Mythical Beast Realm—a higher plane where divine beasts and ancient creatures held absolute rule.Han Tianyi made one last stop before leaving: a visit to Fairy Chi Zhixian.To any outsider, it looked like a young master, deeply infatuated and heartbroken, coming to see his fiancée one final time. He played the part of the devoted lover to perfection.Only the two of them knew the truth behind the visit.Han Tianyi looked at Chi Zhixian for the last time. Giving her o

  • Chapter 45 – The fall of Chi Lingyun

    After Fairy Chi Zhixian departed, Han Tianyi sat cross-legged on the infirmary bed and began cultivating. Almost immediately, Han Shin Tao entered the room, his sleeves flicking as he sealed the space so that not a single whisper could leak beyond the walls. Han Tianyi had already anticipated this. "Tell me, Little Yi," Han Shin Tao’s brows furrowed, his gaze piercing. "Was your soul dissipating because of that Soul Transfer Art?" ‘Ha… so he noticed,’ Tianyi mused inwardly, keeping his expression perfectly calm. ‘Who says I would ever admit to such a thing?’ Outwardly, he let out a confident, easy smile. Not a single flinch was shown. "Grandfather, your words are far from the truth. This descendant has never suffered a single breath of backlash from it." The unwavering confidence in Tianyi’s demeanor caused Han Shin Tao’s tension to finally ease. Han Shin Tao’s eyes narrowed, searching for a crack in the boy’s mask. 'This brat... I can never truly trust him,' the old man thou

  • Chapter 44 – Only the strong define righteousness

    Han Tianyi stared at the sky. His gaze was cold, but a ripple passed through his heart.The sensation of a dissipating soul reminded him of the time he first stood up for mortals in his third lifetime.Memories he thought long buried began rising again.---In the center of the hall, a kind-looking immortal let out a soft, hearty laugh."Good, good, good," the elder said, his eyes crinkling with genuine warmth. "Liang Shin, you must never forget: a true immortal walks the righteous path. A Dao paved only in blood and brute strength is nothing more than a barbaric road. Walk it long enough, and your heart will become emptier than a corpse."He leaned forward, his voice taking on the weight of a Great Dao."The Dao is like water; it seeks the lowest places to nourish the world, yet it is more enduring than the hardest stone. If you only seek to tower over others, you will find yourself a lonely peak in a freezing sky. But if you protect those beneath you and treat all life with kindness

  • Chapter 43 – The perfect outcome

    Han Tianyi was rushed straight to the Chi Clan’s main branch. The logic was cold and simple: if the Han heir died under their roof, the Han Clan’s fury would be unstoppable.The Chi Clan was already bleeding at the borders, their forces locked in a grinding struggle with the Yu Clan.If the Han Clan joined the fray, the Chi would not simply lose—they would be erased. Their position as one of the Ten Great Clans would be stripped away, and they would be dragged down to rock bottom.But there was one fear that outweighed all the others.They were terrified of their fortune and fate plummeting.Every Han clansman carried Luck Dao Marks carved into their very souls.To harm one of them was to gamble against the heavens themselves.If Han Tianyi died here, the Chi Clan wouldn't just face a war—they would face a spiral of disasters that no amount of cultivation could stop.The Yu Clan served as a living warning of what happened when you crossed them.The feud had started with Fairy Yu Xing

  • Chapter 42 – A pawn's final move

    Han Tianyi didn’t stay within the protected branch of the Chi Clan.Instead, he walked openly through the marketplaces and back alleys. He was giving Chi Lingyun every possible opening to strike.It had been a full day since Chi Lingyun murdered those servants and vanished."He is taking longer than expected," Han Tianyi thought. Even so, he kept walking. He maintained the appearance of a man simply touring the Chi Clan territory.Not a single person suspected his motives. To the clansmen passing by, he wasn't a threat—he was the future son-in-law of the Chi Clan.Far behind him, a shadow followed—just beyond the range of his divine sense.It was Chi Zhixian, cautiously observing his every move from the shadows.As a Wisdom Path cultivator, her mental perception spanned much wider than those of other paths. Her discipline focused on the strength of the mind rather than the body, allowing her to lock onto Han Tianyi from a distance he couldn't detect, despite her cultivation being a m

  • Chapter 41 – Playing in shadows

    Chaos quietly began to brew within the Chi Clan, yet none realized that every ripple of disorder came from a single hand.They danced upon a stage of his creation, unaware of the puppet strings.The moment Han Tianyi arrived in the Chi Clan's territory, his grand design was already in motion.He moved cautiously. Acting too boldly would only ignite Han Shin Tao’s suspicion.Instead, he turned his focus to the Luck Dao Marks etched into his body. As a scion of the Han Clan, he already possessed the fortune of a Great Lineage—yet he intended to amplify it further.To do this, he kept Zhang Zhi—the one favored by both Fortune and Fate—constantly by his side."Do not disappoint me, Zhang Zhi…" he mused, his gaze lingering on his disciple. "A master is only as strong as the blade he hones."And precisely as he had calculated, the tavern Han Shin Tao selected was hosting the arrogant young master of the Chi Clan.Chi Lingyun.The perfect pawn, now exactly where he needed to be on the board.
