"You all want to find me, but I don't want to see you!" Ye Chen murmured.

There were two kinds of sacred blood flowing within Ye Chen's body, making him a beloved child of heaven and earth, a proud son of the skies. Such individuals were rare even among the top ten sects.

If Ye Chen managed to activate his bloodline and obtained the Innate Divine Abilities it contained, his cultivation would undoubtedly skyrocket!

However, during the awakening of his bloodline, Ye Chen felt that someone was spying on him, trying to locate him through his bloodline!

Ye Chen naturally knew who was trying to find him.

The resonance of bloodlines was very special; only close relatives could feel it. The people looking for him were his parents.

But Ye Chen didn't want to see them, so he made a swift decision, abandoned the awakening of his bloodline, sealed his own bloodline, and severed the connection with them.

Ye Lingtian wanted to see Ye Chen, but Ye Chen didn't want to acknowledge him.

Ye Lingtian had deserted his wife and child just to marry a young mistress. To such a person, even more shameless than himself, Ye Chen really didn't want to get close.

As for his mother, Ye Chen felt somewhat estranged.

Ye Chen didn't want to get close to his father, and although he wanted to get closer to his mother, he didn't know how!

His mother was a Saint's granddaughter, as well as a sect's Saintess, also a monarch among her peers! Her relationship with Ye Lingtian was nothing but a tragic liaison, and Ye Chen's birth was a mistake...

In any case, Ye Chen came to seek his father and find his mother, but once he really arrived, he realized that he was at a loss.

Ye Chen originally thought that they were dead, but they had not died at all. They were all hiding in the Canglan Realm and playing hide-and-seek with him.

Suddenly having a father and a mother, Ye Chen really felt a bit awkward.

Moreover, their actions had truly broken his heart, and he was full of resentment towards them.

As their son, Ye Chen had nearly been tricked to death!

Thinking about the years of lonely suffering, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel bitterness. They dared to trick their son; he must also play a trick on them!

Having sealed his bloodline and cut off the connection, Ye Chen was not in a hurry to seek out his father and mother. He wanted to enhance his own strength first!

Ye Chen aimed to dominate this realm, advancing triumphantly, storming the other shore with the mightiest of stances!

When Ye Chen was peerlessly unmatched in his generation, he would take the initiative to find his mother and loudly ask her, "Why did you abandon me?"

It had to be said, Ye Chen had deep resentment towards his parents!

"There is no doubt that this is the Canglan Realm, but Canglan has ten continents. Which one is this exactly?"

Ye Chen walked through the vast mountain ranges, feeling the uniqueness and grandeur of this realm.

Although Ye Chen had never been to the Canglan Realm, he knew quite a lot about it.

The Canglan Realm consisted of ten continents, each continent boasting a strongest sect, adding up to ten sects across ten continents!

Ye Chen wanted to infiltrate a sect, to cultivate using the sect's resources, which would be much faster than cultivating alone.

"Each of the ten great sects has its own merits, and each one is unbeatable, with a Saintly Great Power sitting in command!"

"Ten continents, ten sects, which one shall I enter?"

The ten great sects were the absolute overlords of the Canglan Realm, the most powerful existences. Since Ye Chen intended to join a sect for cultivation, he would choose the strongest sect and collide with the strongest geniuses!

Only the strongest clashing with the strongest can give rise to someone more powerful!

"Holy Flame Palace is one of the ten great sects, abundant in strong individuals and rich resources; you can go there to cultivate!"

As Ye Chen muttered to himself, an elder suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of him.

"Holy sh*t!" Ye Chen exclaimed, jumping back in shock.

While Ye Chen was contemplating his future actions, an old man suddenly appeared before him, as if a ghost had flashed by, giving him such a fright that his heart nearly stopped, almost costing him his life.

"Who are you, old man?" Ye Chen humbly asked for guidance.

Ye Chen was a person of status; if this old man were a beggar, he likely would have walked away with a cold face.

But this elder was extraordinary; white hair, white beard, white eyebrows, dressed in white clothes, with an air of transcendence, as if a natural-born immortal had descended to earth. This made Ye Chen feel somewhat peculiar.

"Are you willing to cultivate in Holy Flame Palace?" the elder asked directly, but he didn't reveal his identity.

"Holy Flame Palace?" Ye Chen hesitated.

Ye Chen didn't want to go to the Holy Flame Palace to cultivate because his mother was there, and he didn't want to face her so soon.

Moreover, this elder obviously had an agenda; he appeared suddenly, asking if he was willing to cultivate at Holy Flame Palace—this was too blatant of a reveal!

Ye Chen felt a hint of solemnity in his heart, suspecting the elder had a connection with his mother!

"You have good potential. If you're willing to join Holy Flame Palace, I'll make you a Saint Heir!"

The elder exuded an immortal presence, as if a true sage, his tone very calm.

However, his words were shocking, casually promising to make Ye Chen a Saint Heir, as if he was playing house.

"Old man, who exactly are you?" Ye Chen chuckled, sensing that the elder's identity was extraordinary.

"You need not concern yourself with who I am!" the elder said.

"Holy Flame Palace is one of the ten great sects. If you are willing to join, I will allow you to ascend to the position of Saint Heir!"

"I will give you endless pills, treasures, and divine objects, allowing you to grow strong rapidly!"

"Moreover, I will give you special treatment, appointing a teacher from the other shore for you. Once you ascend to the other shore, you will even receive guidance from a Saintly Great Power!"

"If you can suppress the ten continents and reign supreme over the world, I will let you sit on the throne of Saint Lord!"

The elder threw bait Ye Chen's way, each one a blockbuster that Ye Chen could not help but be actively hooked by.

"Gulp." Ye Chen swallowed hard, truly a bit frightened.

The Holy Flame Palace was one of the top ten sects with countless disciples and geniuses, but there were only a few Saint Heirs and Saintesses.

The elder directly promised him the position of Saint Heir, endless cultivation resources, a mentor from the other shore, even guidance from a Saint, and ultimately threw in the position of the Saint Lord...

If Ye Chen joined the Holy Flame Palace, that would absolutely be a meteoric rise, a journey to the zenith of life!

But who exactly was this old man? Was he not afraid of his tongue getting twisted with his boasts?

"You don't have to doubt what I'm saying, just tell me if you're willing or not!" said the elder as he stroked his beard.

The terms the elder offered were so good they were frightening!

If Ye Chen joined the Holy Flame Palace, he would skyrocket to the pinnacle, become the most watched figure in the Canglan Realm!

"Is it true?" Ye Chen asked, stunned.

The conditions the elder set were too favorable for Ye Chen not to be tempted.

It was like a rich man who picked up a beautiful woman on the street; the rich man wanted the woman to sleep with him, promising money afterward.

The rich man offered a hundred, but the woman was unwilling to sleep with him.

The rich man offered a thousand, but the woman was still unwilling.

The rich man offered ten thousand, but still no.

But what if the rich man offered a million, ten million, a hundred million? Would the woman still have the courage to refuse?

Now, the elder was the rich man, and Ye Chen was the beautiful woman, but the elder did not want Ye Chen to sleep with him; he wanted him to join the Holy Flame Palace.

"As long as you're willing to join the Holy Flame Palace, you will get everything I mentioned!" the elder said, his tone was calm but carried an undeniable air.

"Since that's the case..." Ye Chen did not have the courage to refuse, because the stakes were too high and he had begun to suspect, guessing the elder's identity.

"The Holy Flame Palace is indeed a good place, but you do not belong there!"

Just as Ye Chen hesitated and was about to agree, another elder appeared out of nowhere and arrived beside Ye Chen.

This elder also had the demeanor of a transcended immortal, his aura didn't lose out to the first elder's in the slightest.

"Weren't you in the God Demon Forbidden Area, how did you come out so quickly?" asked the first elder.

"Weren't you in Blood Cloud Valley, how come you've come here as well?" the second elder countered.

Though the two elders looked different, they both had the bearing of immortals, unique in their own way, as if they were long-lived celestial beings.

Despite not being violent, just their standoff there made Ye Chen's scalp tingle.

These two elders appeared harmless, but Ye Chen had an illusion; they were like two invincible Divine Kings, one move could collapse heaven and earth!

"You and I are from different camps; we could be considered enemies, right?" the first elder chuckled.

"The ancient cosmos is one family, how can there be different camps?" the second elder also chuckled. "Moreover, our two families have a great destiny and will surely form a friendly alliance in the future!"

"Haha!" The two elders looked at each other for a while and finally laughed together.

"..." Ye Chen anxiously scratched his head, what was the situation with these two elders?

"His surname is Ye!" suddenly declared the second elder.

"Ye Tianshi, there are five Saints in your realm, and although you're not the strongest, you are the most troublesome one to deal with!" the first elder remarked.

"Thank you for the undue praise, Brother Kun Huo!" Ye Tianshi thanked him.

"I knew from the glance that I couldn't take him away from you," said Kun Huo. "However, it's only natural for a child to take his father's surname, so it's only proper for you to take him with you."

"Thank you, Brother Kun Huo, for your deep understanding!" Ye Tianshi thanked again.

"This boy is Saintess Lingxi's son; I came here just to have a look!" said Kun Huo. "But as soon as I met him, I took a liking to the boy, that's why I wanted him to join the Holy Flame Sect!"

"But since he's from the Ye Family, it wouldn't be right for me to insist!" Kun Huo looked at Ye Chen, his words seemingly spilling out. "This little one is very clever, he probably knew my identity long ago, not bad, not bad..."

"Great-grandfather!" Ye Chen suddenly called out.

This Patriarch Kun Huo was first to come, while also wanting him to cultivate in the Holy Flame Palace, Ye Chen had some guess about his identity.

Now Ye Chen was almost one hundred percent certain, this elder inviting him to join the Holy Flame Palace was his great-grandfather—the Patriarch of Holy Flame!

"You little guy are really clever!" Kun Huo laughed.

Saintess Lingxi was his favorite granddaughter, and Ye Chen was his granddaughter's son; Patriarch Kun Huo liked him even more.

"Great-grandfather, where's the gift you brought for me?" Ye Chen approached Kun Huo and cutely asked.

Kun Huo twitched an eyebrow; when had he said he brought a gift?

"Great-grandfather, did you see my mother when you came?" Ye Chen asked. "Where's the gift my mother asked you to bring me?"
