"Godfather, why did you want to kill your daughter-in-law?" Ye Chen looked towards Plough Heaven, puzzled.
"Don't call me godfather, I don't have a son like you!" Plough Heaven said disdainfully.
"Got it, godfather!" Ye Chen nodded.
"..." Plough Heaven turned dark, was this the legendary joy of parenthood?
"Godfather, why did you kill your daughter-in-law? I only have these two wives, if you kill them both, you will have to compensate me for emotional distress!" Ye Chen relentlessly argued.
"Enough!" Plough Heaven said solemnly. "They are not dead, I just made them fall unconscious!"
"Why did you make them unconscious? Are you planning something inappropriate towards me that you don't want my wives to see?" Ye Chen shamelessly said.
"Get lost!" Anger surged in Plough Heaven's heart, and he slapped Ye Chen away.
"Bang!"
Ye Chen flew several tens of meters before crashing to the ground.
"Phew!" Ye Chen stood up, took a deep breath, and calmed his surging energy.
The slap from Plough Heaven was terrifyingly powerful, but he had no intention to kill. Ye Chen was only enveloped by the terrifying force and flew for a while, receiving no actual damage.
"Godfather, that slap nearly killed me, you have to compensate me for medical expenses!" Ye Chen approached Plough Heaven again. "Killing the Great Venerable of the Other Shore is as easy for you as killing a chicken, right? You must have a lot of treasures, right?"
"Give me an item that can kill the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, and we can call it even."
"If you feel like you are at a loss, then I will let you slap me a few more times, so you can make it back. I am the fairest person!"
"..."
Ye Chen was shamelessly rampant, making Plough Heaven look quite displeased.
"I knocked those two women out because I have some secrets to tell you. Do you know your dad's name?" Plough Heaven said.
"Plough Heaven!" Ye Chen blinked.
"I'm talking about your real dad!" Plough Heaven said solemnly.
"I don't know!" Ye Chen glanced at Plough Heaven, genuinely unaware of his father's name.
"Hmph, not even knowing your own father's name, what kind of son are you!" Plough Heaven scoffed.
"Do you know it?" Ye Chen's eyes burned intensely as he gazed at his senior.
Ye Chen dragged out the title of godfather for Plough Heaven, and in return, Plough Heaven dragged out his real father.
It sounded like a joke, but Ye Chen, with his incredible intelligence, sensed something unusual.
"Of course, I know!" Plough Heaven said.
"Then tell me quickly!" Ye Chen's breathing became rapid, his heart tightening with tension.
His family was hiding a big secret. The cause of Ye Chen's father's death was a mystery, which immensely piqued Ye Chen's curiosity.
"Kneel and kowtow to me, and I'll tell you!" Plough Heaven looked half-amused, clearly intending to make Ye Chen uncomfortable.
Ye Chen: "..."
Ye Chen always acted shamelessly, which really frustrated Plough Heaven.
However, as a senior, Plough Heaven couldn't just hit Ye Chen to teach him a lesson. If he did, it would look like bullying, and if Ye Lingtian found out, it would never end.
So, Plough Heaven wanted to make Ye Chen feel frustrated too.
Plough Heaven had connections with Ye Chen's father, knew about Ye Chen's lack of fatherly love since childhood, so he saw an opportunity for a breakthrough.
There's gold under a man's knees, and making Ye Chen kneel right now must be very uncomfortable for him, huh?
Choosing between information about his father and his own pride, it must be a tough decision. Ye Chen's heart must be struggling, right?
Thinking about the turmoil in Ye Chen's heart made a smile creep onto Plough Heaven's face, enjoying the feeling of tormenting someone!
"Thump!"
Plough Heaven's smile froze, as Ye Chen had knelt before him.
"Senior, I've kowtowed to you, please tell me about my father!" With a bang, Ye Chen's head hit the ground. "I know you must have known my father, and as it happens, I too am eager to meet him!"
Speaking thus, Ye Chen's emotions became inexplicably complex, and for some reason, he felt a sudden urge to cry.
A real dad?
Ye Chen had one, but he had always been a stranger to him.
Ye Chen lacked love, not just maternal love but also paternal love, and it had been missing since childhood.
His mother died in childbirth with him, and his father tried to resurrect her using the Taboo Skill, triggering divine retribution and resulting in his death.
However, these were just official statements; the real situation was definitely not that simple.
Moreover, Tong Xingtong had previously dug up his family's graves, and neither his father nor his mother was lying in the graves.
There must be a big secret hidden there, and Ye Chen was eager to find out.
So, as for the notion that gold lies beneath a man's knees, let it go to hell. Ye Chen needed to first find out his dad's name!
"You!" Plough Heaven looked at Ye Chen, emotions swirling in his eyes, causing a slight tremor in his heart as if he could feel the sorrow within.
Initially, Plough Heaven had wanted to banter with Ye Chen, but seeing the child's genuine emotions, he felt somewhat reluctant to cause him pain.
"Your father's name is Ye Lingtian!" Plough Heaven said.
"Ye Lingtian, above Lingtian, truly worthy of my father, so imposing!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
"Haha!" Plough Heaven suddenly laughed, revealing an indescribable emotion.
Plough Heaven and Ye Lingtian had a good relationship; they often shared drinks and meat together, discussing life.
Ye Lingtian often talked about Ye Chen, saying that the child was smart from a young age and had a heart of true sincerity, which was very endearing. He had been heartbroken when he had to leave Ye Chen behind, leaving him with a sense of guilt.
At that time, Plough Heaven hadn't felt much, but seeing Ye Chen's authentic nature today, and watching him kneel without hesitation to learn about his real father, stirred complex emotions in Plough Heaven.
Envy!
Plough Heaven felt some envy toward Ye Lingtian. That wretched man has a good son!
"Senior, besides my father's name, can you tell me anything else?" Ye Chen asked.
"I can!" Plough Heaven declared.
For some reason, Plough Heaven had a very favorable impression of Ye Chen, feeling an innate liking for him, which made him willing to disclose some matters.
"Senior, please tell me!" Ye Chen said eagerly.
"You have a clay pot in your possession, right?" Plough Heaven asked.
"Senior, how do you know that, and what does it have to do with my father?" Ye Chen asked, astonished.
The clay pot on Ye Chen had been obtained in Di Lintian's cave. Initially, Ye Chen had nearly encountered disaster to secure this pot.
The appearance of the pot was quite ugly, as if someone had urinated on a handful of clay and carelessly shaped it.
However, the clay pot was no ordinary object but an ultimate weapon. Yet, Ye Chen had always been unable to activate its divine powers.
"Of course, I know about the clay pot!" Plough Heaven said. "This pot is not from this realm; it was with great effort that I sought it out and placed it in Di Lintian's cave!"
"This pot is your possession!" Ye Chen exclaimed, somewhat shocked.
However, Ye Chen was even more confused inside, feeling utterly perplexed, leading to an unsettling turmoil in his heart!
"This stone pot is the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, a supreme ultimate weapon, capable of killing even the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, should it unleash its full might!" Plough Heaven declared. "Since I am in good terms with your father, he entrusted me to find this pot and when the time was right, to deliver it to you!"
"What!" Ye Chen gasped.
If what Plough Heaven said was true, the mysteries that were revealed became even more intricate.
Ye Lingtian was definitely alive, and was also a character of supreme stature, but why did he choose to abandon Ye Chen?
But, was this really true? Ye Chen suddenly became wary; could it be that Plough Heaven was tricking him?
"Take out the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot!" Plough Heaven seemed to see through Ye Chen's thoughts, prompting him to fetch the pot.
"..."
Ye Chen looked deeply at Plough Heaven a few times, his emotions complex as he took out the clay pot.
"This Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot is sealed by an ancient power and requires Immeasurable Golden Light to break open," Plough Heaven explained. "I have collected some of the Immeasurable Golden Light, but it is far from enough to break the seal of the pot. Moreover, those pieces of Immeasurable Golden Light have been refined by these two women, leaving only a small portion!"
Plough Heaven pointed lightly, and a divine pattern appeared, emitting terrifying fluctuations, which then surged into Ye Chen's clay pot.
"Whoosh!"
The clay pot in Ye Chen's hand trembled as if stimulated and suddenly burst forth with divine power. It flew out of Ye Chen's hands and moved deep into the cave to absorb the Immeasurable Golden Light there.
"This!" Ye Chen watched the scene, feeling amazed. It was all too fantastical!
"Besides this clay pot, you also cultivated a magical Cultivation Technique called Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, right?" Plough Heaven asked.
"Was this also deliberately arranged for me to obtain?" Ye Chen appeared shocked.
"Exactly! This Cultivation Technique is a Taboo Skill of the Baihua Palace; only the successive Palace Masters were allowed to practice it. However, since the Baihua Palace has now become a domain ruled by women, no one can practice the Great Happiness Grant anymore," Plough Heaven explained.
"Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, a Taboo Skill of the Baihua Palace, but typically sealed and hidden deep within the Baihua Palace hence not revealed to the world."
"Then how did you obtain it?" Ye Chen asked.
"I stole it!" Plough Heaven chuckled. "But the one who stole it wasn't me; it was that progenitor from your Ye family! Other than him, no one could possibly steal the Palace-Suppressing Ultimate Skill of the Baihua Palace!"
"What is all this for?" Ye Chen looked at Plough Heaven and asked earnestly.
The appearance of Plough Heaven had given Ye Chen an unimaginable impact in a short time.
This terrifying existence knew much about him, was on good terms with his father, and had unravelled many mysteries for him.
However, as Ye Chen's doubts opened up, even more questions arose in his heart.
Thus, Ye Chen asked why, desiring to know everything!
"I understand the doubts in your heart, but it's a long story to tell now, and I am not at liberty to disclose it at the moment, as I need to go into seclusion," Plough Heaven said. "The Great Necromancer of the Other Shore was a vile being I cultivated, whose evil origin matches my Cultivation Technique, helping me ascend to the pinnacle and achieve supremacy!"
"Now, having devoured him, I naturally need to digest him," Plough Heaven declared.
"The Ten Great Necromancers dominate the world, causing countless calamities. Why didn't you intervene!" Ye Chen questioned. "These necromancers were all nurtured by you; shouldn't you be responsible for this?"
"I was not in this realm at the time!" Plough Heaven responded.
"Not in this realm!" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, forming an absurd conjecture.
