Kun Huo glared at Ye Chen, who was acting cute, and really wanted to smack him to death.

He was a Saint revered by all ten provinces, yet Ye Chen had the audacity to extort his treasures. This kid had way too much nerve!

"Great-grandfather, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked. "Why are your hands trembling? Is it because you're getting old and not in good health?"

"..."

Kun Huo's hands shook even more violently when he heard this.

He was a Saintly Great Power, whose life spanned as long as heaven and earth, unending and undying. How could he be old and in poor health!

Kun Huo felt that coming here today was a mistake. Lingxi's son was too good at swindling his ancestors!

"This kid is so outrageous; he's actually making Kun Huo admit defeat!"

Ye Tianshi looked at Ye Chen strangely. This grandson of his was fierce, daring to extort treasures from Patriarch Kun Huo. Such a story would certainly cause a sensation across the ten provinces if word got out.

Patriarch Kun Huo was notorious for his ferocity, having killed countless geniuses and even decided the fates of other Saints of his level, truly a terrifying and evil entity.

Ye Chen dared to play rogue with Patriarch Kun Huo, which was practically destined to make waves across the ten provinces!

But even if Ye Chen was playing rogue, he was still a junior, and Kun Huo wouldn't be too hard on him. Besides, Ye Chen was a direct descendant of Kun Huo. It was only reasonable for Kun Huo to bestow some treasures upon Ye Chen for self-defense during their first meeting.

"Ye Chen, I can give you treasures, but you have to kowtow to me!" Patriarch Kun Huo said. "My treasures cannot be taken for nothing, and since you're my great-grandson, it's only right for you to kowtow when you see me!"

Kun Huo, living as long as heaven and earth, a Saintly Great Power, had accumulated countless treasures over the endless eons. He could afford to give Ye Chen a treasure mountain if needed.

However, Ye Chen was too cunning and dared to challenge him. Despite having many treasures, Kun Huo did not want to let Ye Chen have them for nothing. So he decided to give Ye Chen a hard time and make him kowtow.

But once again, it was proven that Ye Chen truly was invincible, even defeating a Saintly Great Power.

Before Kun Huo could finish speaking, Ye Chen knelt down on both knees and sincerely kowtowed to Kun Huo.

"..." Patriarch Kun Huo swallowed hard. Why had Ye Chen knelt so easily?

They say a man's knees are as valuable as gold; Ye Chen kowtowing to him should involve some struggle and hesitation, shouldn't it?

Kun Huo wanted to see Ye Chen struggle and be conflicted, not kneel down so neatly!

"Great-grandfather, I've finished kowtowing. Hurry up and give me the treasure!" Ye Chen said with the look of a little miser.

Kun Huo was his mother's grandfather, thus his great-grandfather. They were blood relatives, so what was wrong with Ye Chen kowtowing to his elder?

Not to mention receiving a treasure for kowtowing, even if it were for nothing, Ye Chen would not hesitate, as it was a matter of respecting one's elders, a proper and righteous tradition!

"Xuanming Fan, a fan that stirs heaven and earth with one sweep, alarms ghosts and deities with two, and extinguishes gods and demons with three!" Kun Huo produced a Xuanming Fan and solemnly handed it over to Ye Chen.

The Xuanming Fan was a formidable weapon of massacre, not inferior to some sects' treasures that secured their teachings!

Originally, it was the personal protective treasure of a powerhouse from the other shore, but after that powerhouse got killed by Patriarch Kun Huo, the fan fell into his hands. By giving Ye Chen this Xuanming Fan, Kun Huo was showing fondness and importance toward Ye Chen.

"Just a broken fan?" Ye Chen tossed the Xuanming Fan into his Qiankun Bag, then asked Patriarch Kun Huo.

"..."

The nonchalant manner of Ye Chen made Patriarch Kun Huo's hand start to tremble again.

The Xuanming Fan was a powerful weapon, comparable to the treasures securing the teachings of major sects. Such high-level weapons of massacre were extremely rare in Canglan Realm, and one couldn't find many. Ye Chen had described it as a broken fan?! And he also said just one?!

Patriarch Kun Huo really wanted to smack him. He wasn't running a grocery store doing wholesale; of course, there was only one fan!

"Great-grandfather, I've already kowtowed. Where's your gift?" Ye Chen asked.

"Didn't I give you the Xuanming Fan?" Kun Huo was startled.

"A broken fan as a gift? Great-grandfather, you're a divine being, an ancient Saint; surely you have other gifts for me!" Ye Chen pressed.

Patriarch Kun Huo, a Saintly Great Power, had unprecedented clout, a dominating existence in the universe. With just a single bout of anger, he could create a sea of corpses and a mountain of bones.

However, Ye Chen took to him familiarity and showed no fear, clinging to Patriarch Kun Huo's thigh as if to wheedle treasures from him.

"Little child, don't be insatiable. The Xuanming Fan is priceless. Even powerhouses from the other shore would go mad for it; you should be content!" Patriarch Kun Huo said angrily, puffing up his beard and glaring.

Patriarch Kun Huo had no idea how many descendants he had, but this grandson Ye Chen was totally outrageous!

Other grandsons trembled with fear upon seeing him, but Ye Chen hugged his thigh without any fear, making Patriarch Kun Huo feel like all his years of dominance were for nothing!

"Great-grandfather, the Xuanming Fan is an offensive treasure. Please give me a defensive one as well," Ye Chen begged, hugging Patriarch Kun Huo's leg.

"Can you let go of me?" Patriarch Kun Huo was close to losing his composure. It was one thing for Ye Chen to hug his thigh, but the boy kept rubbing his face against it, sending chills down his spine and making his hair stand on end.

Patriarch Kun Huo was a human race Saint, supremely revered across heaven and earth. Even when facing other Saints of equal rank, he had never felt such fright.

But Ye Chen's mere rubbing of his face on his leg was more than Kun Huo could bear, because it was just too damn torturous!

"You, my little grandchild, you're too mischievous!" Unable to tolerate it any longer, Patriarch Kun Huo kicked Ye Chen away.

Patriarch Kun Huo really didn't want to stay here anymore. Ye Chen was too much to deal with, and Kun Huo wanted to go back home to find Ye Chen's mother. Ye Chen was simply too naughty; Patriarch Kun Huo had to go and complain!

"Great-grandfather, don't run! You haven't given me a defensive treasure yet!" Ye Chen called out.

"Can't you cheat someone else?" Patriarch Kun Huo glared. "The one next to you is also your ancestor. Hug his thigh and rub against him, let him give you a defensive treasure!"

After Patriarch Kun Huo managed to divert the disaster elsewhere, his figure completely dissolved into nothingness. Ye Chen was just too mischievous. If he didn't leave soon, he would likely end up getting played by Ye Chen.

"The lack of principles from my great-great-grandfather is too much. I even kowtowed to him, and all he left me was a broken fan!" Ye Chen complained.

"..."

Ye Tianshi was Ye Chen's ancestor and, by all rights, should favor Ye Chen. But he truly sympathized with Patriarch Kun Huo because his grandson Ye Chen was way too mischievous.

"Great Ancestor!"

Ye Chen, dropping his irreverent demeanor, strode up to Ye Tianshi and respectfully knelt down to kowtow!

Ye Tianshi was a legendary figure, the ancient ancestor of the Ye Family and Ye Chen's great-grandfather!

Ye Chen's cultivation progressed at an extraordinary speed, relying on the "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant," a Dual Cultivation Skill which was found by Ye Tianshi especially for Ye Chen to practice!

Although Ye Chen had never met Ye Tianshi, he had received his beneficence, so a bow to Ye Tianshi was only proper for Ye Chen!

Ye Chen's proper bow sent a shock of anxiety through Ye Tianshi's heart.

Ye Tianshi witnessed Ye Chen's ability to cling to someone's coattails, effortlessly sending a Saint away, and it even left him with a psychological shadow.

When Ye Chen suddenly ran over and knelt down with a plop, Ye Tianshi thought Ye Chen was going to cling to his coattails again.

"Ye Chen, you've sealed your own bloodline. Don't you want to awaken your Innate Divine Ability?" Ye Tianshi asked.

Ye Chen had sealed his bloodline, cutting off the karma with his closest kin. But whether it was Kun Huo or Ye Tianshi, both were invincible Saints, and they could find him regardless of the sealed bloodline.

However, Ye Chen's act of sealing his bloodline caused Ye Tianshi to frown slightly. To rise up should mean to be invincible all the way. Ye Chen's suppression of his strongest state worried Ye Tianshi that he might go with the flow and lose the qualifications to compete for being the strongest.

Ye Tianshi, being supremely transcendental, recognized Ye Chen's potential at a glance. His little grandson was truly extraordinary and definitely had the qualifications to compete for the strongest among his peers!

"Great-grandfather, you know about my situation. I sealed my bloodline because I don't want to see them!" Ye Chen said.

"To rise up is to be invincible all the way. Suppressing yourself like this might cause you to lose the chance to compete for being the strongest," Ye Tianshi said.

"I'm confident in my invincibility, sweeping through enemies in all directions, without the need of borrowing anything!" Ye Chen declared with a spirited expression.

"Alright then!" Ye Tianshi nodded, no longer trying to persuade since the strong always stick to their own hearts.

"Great-grandfather, have you come looking for me?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, our lineage has few people left, and I need to protect every one of you!" Ye Tianshi said.

"That's great!" Ye Chen said joyfully. "Great-grandfather, quickly give me a defensive treasure!"

Ye Tianshi: "..."

"Great-grandfather, are you here to take me for cultivation?" Ye Chen asked.

"No!" Ye Tianshi shook his head.

"No?" Ye Chen's expression changed.

Patriarch Kun Huo wanted Ye Chen to join the Southern Barbarian Palace, but Ye Tianshi appeared and stopped it. Ye Chen had thought his great-grandfather came to take him for cultivation, only to receive a "No"!

Ye Chen began to regret it. He should have gone with Kun Huo to the Holy Flame Palace to become the Saint Heir, then ascend to the peak of his life.

"Ye Chen, now that you've come to the Canglan Realm, what are your plans for the future?" Ye Tianshi asked.

"I want to cultivate with you!" Ye Chen hoped to rely on a strong backer.

"Our world is about to face a calamity, and I have to strategize for dominance in the Canglan Realm. It will be dangerous for you to follow me!" Ye Tianshi said.

"Then I'll go to the Holy Flame Palace," Ye Chen suggested after some thought.

"No!" Ye Tianshi said. "If you join the Holy Flame Palace, it will be difficult to leave later. You will be of the Kun Huo lineage then!"

Patriarch Kun Huo invited Ye Chen to join the Holy Flame Palace because he wanted Ye Chen to become part of his lineage, which is why Ye Tianshi stopped him.

"Great-grandfather, what exactly are you here for?" Ye Chen asked humbly.

"I want you to go to a sect for cultivation," Ye Tianshi looked at Ye Chen, his eyes shining brightly.

"Which sect?" Ye Chen inquired.

Ye Tianshi had come at this time, suggesting he enter a sect for cultivation. Ye Chen seemed to have an epiphany; his great-grandfather had a plan for him.

"Baihua Palace!" Ye Tianshi declared.

"What?" Ye Chen's eyes widened. "Isn't Baihua Palace full of women? What would I do at that kind of sect?"

Baihua Palace was one of the top ten sects, ruling over a large continent, with power no less than that of the Holy Flame Palace. However, Baihua Palace was a domain for women, and almost all disciples within the gates were women, a true case of yin overpowering yang!

Ye Tianshi wanted him to cultivate in Baihua Palace?
