"My son, where are you?"
A regal woman blurred into sight outside the Holy Flame Palace, standing atop the pinnacle of the ninth heaven and overlooking the entire Canglan Realm, hoping to find her child.
"My son, wherever you are, your mother is coming for you!"
The noble woman's voice echoed through heaven and earth, like a phoenix ceaselessly calling out, shaking the continent where she was.
"My heavens, who is that powerful being who just flew up to the ninth heaven?"
Beneath the regal woman was the Holy Flame Palace. As she leapt into the skies, heaven and earth thundered, shocking the entire Holy Flame Palace and startling countless people.
"I saw clearly, it's our candidate for Palace Master, Saintess Lingxi!"
"The Saintess is flawless and transcendent, why is she calling out for her son?"
"The Saintess has a son?"
Saintess Lingxi was the candidate for the Holy Master of the Holy Flame Palace, poised to ascend to the grand position. This invincible figure calling out for her son immediately caused a sensation throughout the Holy Flame Palace.
At the same time, within the Southern Barbarian Palace, a man was going mad!
"My good son, you've finally come; I just knew you would!"
The man was handsome as jade, with a dashing appearance and an aura permeated with the air of the Other Shore; he was also a venerable figure indeed!
"Let the power of bloodline boil, tell me where my son is!" The man roared skyward, his blood like magma, thundering like a storm, with a mysterious pattern appearing on his body, releasing a causal force that permeated the void as if seeking something.
This man was Ye Chen's father, Ye Lingtian!
Ye Lingtian had Plough Heaven relay the truth to Ye Chen and had been waiting ever since for Ye Chen to arrive in Canglan.
Ye Chen's parents were rather unreliable: his mother left shortly after giving birth, his father looked after him for a few years, then he also left and even took a younger second wife.
Ye Chen's childhood was somewhat miserable, a fact Ye Lingtian was well aware of, hence his immense guilt towards his son!
Unable to leave the Canglan Realm, Ye Lingtian could only show his care for his son in special ways.
But the love of father and son was profound. Ye Lingtian missed his son immensely and wanted to see what he had grown into, whether he had indeed grown up, and whether he had become as handsome as himself…
Plough Heaven had relayed the reality of his origins to Ye Chen before heading straight back to the Canglan Realm, where he met Ye Lingtian and shared with him details about Ye Chen's height, appearance, and his exceptional, outstanding nature…
Since that day, Ye Lingtian had been eagerly anticipating his son's arrival!
Today, Ye Lingtian was meditating, but suddenly felt his bloodline boil and his soul tremble—Ye Lingtian knew it was his son arriving!
"Ye Chen, where are you? Don't suppress it deliberately, let your father find you!"
Ye Lingtian's bloodline boiled ceaselessly, and his vast divine sense shot into the void, seeking the source of his trembling.
The Great Venerable of the Other Shore transcended all beings, not only controlling thousands of miles and invoking Divine Skills but also mastering the power of causality, tracing everything back to its roots!
Ye Lingtian was the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, with saintly blood flowing in his veins, naturally capable of mastering the power of causality, finding Ye Chen through their resonating bloodlines.
However, Ye Chen seemed unwilling to be found, deliberately suppressing the awakening bloodline, causing the saintly blood in his body to settle back down.
Saintly blood was a mark of glory, signifying the lineage and status of Saints, but Ye Chen seemed to disdain this honor!
"My son, what are you doing, deliberately suppressing the bloodline awakening? Don't you want to activate the saintly blood and obtain the Divine Skills to reach heaven and earth?"
Ye Lingtian's face suddenly changed, as if something unexpected and unbearable had happened.
Ye Chen had come to the Canglan Realm, where his kin were, which allowed him to awaken his bloodline and unlock his talents!
But Ye Chen had gone mad, suppressing the awakened bloodline, letting the saintly blood within him drift, unwilling to awaken the saintly lineage!
"No, no, son, don't!"
Ye Lingtian burst out with a powerful force, his terrifying pressure radiating to the ninth heaven as if desperately trying to maintain something.
However, the power of causality he controlled weakened gradually, and in the end, it completely dissipated!
Ye Chen had sealed off his own bloodline, severing the connection with him.
"Why?" Ye Lingtian's terrifying presence dispersed, giving a bitter smile.
Plough Heaven had revealed many things to Ye Chen, including details about the bloodline; Ye Lingtian could be certain that Ye Chen had done it on purpose!
Ye Chen had sealed his own bloodline; he didn't want Ye Lingtian to find him!
"Son, do you hate me?" As Ye Lingtian thought of a possibility, he couldn't help but give a forlorn smile; he indeed owed too much to Ye Chen.
Ye Lingtian had been very irresponsible towards Ye Chen, not only abandoning him when he was young but also deceitfully pretending to die.
It was not easy for Ye Chen to survive, let alone to cultivate to a notable level. Ye Lingtian could imagine the hardships involved.
All of this Ye Chen had achieved on his own; he had never relied on outside help. Even if Ye Lingtian had given him some assistance, it was only after he had grown up.
Ye Chen had every reason to resent him. Who would have thought that he, as a father, didn't want to take care of his son after his birth?
"Ye Chen, I know you hate me, but I am, after all, your father!"
"Moreover, since you've come to Canglan, you must be looking for me. You can't let go of the barriers in your heart, but I will seek your forgiveness!"
"Son, you've suffered in that realm. Your old father must find you to make up for all my shortcomings to you!"
"Son, I hope you're not too mischievous. Please awaken your Bloodline Power quickly so your father can find you!"
Ye Lingtian's bloodline calmed down, and he could no longer sense Ye Chen's presence, which left him looking desolate and muttering to himself.
"Husband, what just happened?" Just then, a gentle and beautiful woman approached and nestled against Ye Lingtian.
"It's nothing, just overcultivation, and I suddenly lost control!" Ye Lingtian said, looking normal.
This woman was his beloved, but he did not want to reveal Ye Chen's existence, not now anyway.
"Husband, you are already the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, the strongest existence under the Saints. Please, no more reckless cultivation!" the beautiful woman said, full of concern. She only wanted to be with her husband and did not desire for him to be invincible. She was a woman easily contented!
"I'm fine, don't worry!" Ye Lingtian said.
"Hmm!" The beautiful woman obediently nodded.
"The son has arrived in the Canglan Realm; the crazy woman must know now," Ye Lingtian thought of the well-behaved and gentle woman, reminding him of that hot-tempered woman. "But since the son has sealed his bloodline and does not want to be found, won't that crazy woman lose her mind?"
"Why!"
High above the ninth heaven, Saintess Lingxi stood defiantly, her roar of anger shaking the Holy Flame Palace below and alarming all the powerful beings in the realm.
"My son, why have you sealed your bloodline? Why don't you let your mother find you!"
"Why is this happening!"
Saintess Lingxi was hysterical and unstable, her aura wildly intense, causing the void to tremble and the heavens to quake!
Saintess Lingxi released her power of karma and fate, on the verge of locating that origin and finding her son.
But just as she was about to succeed, Ye Chen suddenly sealed his own Bloodline Power, cutting off all ties with her, which drove Saintess Lingxi to instant devastation.
"My son, are you blaming your mother?" Saintess Lingxi was crying.
Her son was distancing himself from her; how could she not be heartbroken, how could she not feel sorrow.
But the fault was all hers; even if her son resented her, it was a consequence Saintess Lingxi had brought upon herself.
"Saintess Lingxi is weeping, searching for her son?"
The commotion caused by Saintess Lingxi was too great, rousing the entire Holy Flame Palace. The news that the Saintess was searching for her son shocked the disciples of the Holy Flame Palace, who could hardly believe these words.
The Holy Flame Palace was one of the ten great sects of Canglan, and all its successive saintesses were flawless. Saintess Lingxi calling for her son certainly shook the entire palace from top to bottom.
Not just the disciples of the Holy Flame Palace, but even the higher echelons were alarmed by Saintess Lingxi.
Saintess Lingxi, a candidate for Palace Master, was not just a saintess; she was also the beloved granddaughter of the old ancestor of the Holy Flame, with divine blood flowing in her veins!
Such a peerless figure among her generation, a king among her peers, was now frantically searching for her son?!
This raised questions—when did Saintess Lingxi have a son, and with whom?
Hysterical above the ninth heaven, Saintess Lingxi drew the attention of everyone in the Holy Flame Palace, bringing about a sudden and extraordinary situation!
"My son, are you resenting me for abandoning you, are you blaming me?"
Saintess Lingxi's condition was very unstable, clearly under tremendous distress.
At the moment of bloodline resonance, Saintess Lingxi experienced a flood of mixed emotions, with infinite longing surging into her heart. The joy inside made her almost mad!
Saintess Lingxi unleashed karma and delved into the netherworld, trying to locate Ye Chen through the power of their bloodline.
Ye Chen knew someone was searching for him and roughly guessed who it was, but he did not want to see them now!
So, without further ado, Ye Chen sealed his about-to-awaken bloodline, cutting off any contact with them.
The moment the bloodline resonance ceased, Saintess Lingxi felt utterly despairing, awakened by Ye Chen's actions. Her son hated her and refused to meet her!
"Ye Lingtian, he must know the son has come, he must have found the son. Could the son be with him?" Saintess Lingxi thought of that man, the father of her child, the man she both loved and hated.
Ye Lingtian had ascended to be the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, holding a high position in the Southern Barbarian Palace almost second to none, not even Lingxi.
However, as a dominant figure of her generation, Saintess Lingxi not only surpassed her peers but also the older generation, making Ye Lingtian's cultivation inferior to hers!
Saintess Lingxi was a dominant personality; to make her gentle and submissive, Ye Lingtian needed to surpass her!
Thus, Saintess Lingxi had always been lukewarm towards him, until Ye Lingtian took a secondary wife, and their relationship completely broke down.
"Son, wait for me in the Southern Barbarian Palace, your mother is coming soon to find you!
"My son, Mother is sorry for you; I will compensate for all the deficiencies, giving you everything under the heaven!"
With boundless guilt in her heart, Saintess Lingxi only longed to find Ye Chen quickly, to see her precious son, and to make up for all his losses!
"Lingxi!"
Just as Saintess Lingxi was tearing through the void, intending to head to the Southern Barbarian Palace, a heroic middle-aged man appeared blocking her path.
"Father?" Saintess Lingxi was taken aback.
