Best Young Master

In the dense forest, Chu Ji’s entire body was covered in blood, and her steps were staggering.

Her face was pale, her body full of scars, her clothes tattered, with many places torn by brambles.

Her phone had long been destroyed in the battle, and she couldn’t contact the outside world at this moment.

An hour later, she finally reached the edge of the dense forest.

Not far ahead was a village.

Without caring for her injuries, Chu Ji struggled to knock on the door of a household.

Using the communicator, she reported the attack she faced and the theft of Essence Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Yan and the Evil Emperor.

"Crack!"

The tea cup in the Evil Emperor’s hand was instantly crushed, and his eyes shot out two fierce beams of cold light.

"Who dares to seize things from my disciple, the Evil Emperor, they must be tired of living!"

The Evil Emperor slammed the table, emitting a sharp killing intent all over.

At this moment, he was truly enraged!

"Don’t be anxious, find a place to heal first, leave the matter of the resources to me, I will investigate thoroughly."

Yan was also furious, but didn’t lose his rationality, first comforting Chu Ji, then turning off the communicator and making three urgent commands in succession.

First, thoroughly investigate this matter, and expose the mastermind behind it.

Second, retrieve the stolen resources at the fastest speed, in the shortest time.

Third, immediately re-gather Essence Stones and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, just in case.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ji bought a fairly decent off-road vehicle in the village and drove directly to the nearest city.

Her external injuries needed treatment, and her internal injuries were even more severe; she must heal quickly.

Over ten years, the Tianshan Group had spread throughout Huaxia, involved in medical care, education, catering, service industry, real estate, charitable organizations, etc. Every city had its branch.

...

Northeast Huaxia, amid the Black Water of the White Mountain, where Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was abundant.

The Xu Family Ancestral Land was located amidst this Black Water of the White Mountain, isolated by a great formation, ordinary people simply couldn’t find it.

"Buzz!"

An ancient bronze chariot pierced through the sky, descending into the vast forest.

Soon, several middle-aged men in black uniforms came down from the bronze chariot, each carrying two black boxes.

"Swish!"

The bronze chariot shrank, directly collected into the palm of the leading middle-aged man.

They followed a specific path, zigzagging through, finally passing through the formation, entering the Xu Family Ancestral Land.

"Clan Leader, we are back."

In a splendid array of buildings, several middle-aged men handed over the black boxes, respectfully speaking to the Xu Family Patriarch.

"Did things go smoothly?"

The newly appointed Xu Family Patriarch, Xu Changxuan, checked the Essence Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures while casually asking.

Ten years ago, the former patriarch Xu Changsheng disrupted the military morale during the Beast Tide, intending to harm Ye Fan, resulting in his miserable death under Ye Fan’s Flying Knife, nearly ending up dead without a body.

In no time, the Xu Family’s momentum plummeted, leaderless.

At that time, Xu Changxuan stepped up, with an iron-handed approach suppressing all dissenting clansmen, smoothly ascending to the clan leader’s throne.

In the ten years of his painstaking efforts, the Xu Family gradually recovered its Primordial Qi, growing stronger.

"The Witch escaped!"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, ultimately not hiding the truth.

Because this matter would be exposed sooner or later, he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.

"What?" Xu Changxuan was shocked, shouted angrily, "Let her escape?"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man stood with hands down, cold sweat dripping on his forehead, trembling as he said, "Demoness Chu’s strength is too formidable; even with our joint effort of five, we could only heavily wound her, unable to keep her."

"Did you expose your identity? Or leave any clues?" Xu Changxuan asked.

"No, we were very cautious and did not appear with our real faces; absolutely no one can trace back to us," the middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Hmm, that’s good."

Xu Changxuan nodded, feeling slightly reassured; as long as no clues were left, despite Chu Xuanji’s and Yan’s means, they couldn’t trace it back to the Xu Family.

Yet he wasn’t entirely at ease, deciding to enter the ancestral secret realm to inform the Xu Family’s newly emerged genius, Xu Wuji, about this matter.

After ten years of recovery, the Xu Family had gradually regained its Primordial Qi, still a long-standing ancient clan.

Three years ago, the ancient secret realm of the Xu Family suddenly opened, with the unparalleled legacy left by the Xu Family’s distant ancestors, demanding the most talented young generation among the Xu Family’s descendants to inherit it.

Xu Wuji exhibited a phenomenon of bloodline regression, the next genius following Xu Wudao, defeating countless competitors, eventually entering the secret realm, obtaining the inheritance qualification.

Over three years, he experienced tempering in the secret realm, received the ancient inheritance of the Xu Family, with his cultivation soaring.

Inside the secret realm, there were a large number of top-grade Essence Stones left by the Xu Family’s distant ancestors, containing terrifying Heaven and Earth Essence.

Relying on these Essence Stones and the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the secret realm, Xu Wuji underwent metamorphosis multiple times, refining his body, Washing Marrow and Removing Hair.

Finally, not too long ago, he made an astonishing leap, breaking through the mythical realm on Earth—the True Essence Realm.

However, three years of arduous cultivation consumed a vast amount of Essence Stones, almost depleting the stock left by the Xu Family’s distant ancestors.

To consolidate his hard-earned True Essence Realm, Xu Changxuan took great risks and snatched a large amount of Essence Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from Chu Ji.

"Clan Leader, shall we send the supplies to Young Master Wuji?"

The middle-aged man spoke eagerly and ingratiatingly.

"You guys?"

Xu Changxuan sneered, "You’re not qualified enough, don’t even think about it. Is the Secret Realm a place anyone can enter?"

The few people shivered all over, quickly lowered their heads, like children who had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Xu Changxuan’s expression softened, and he smiled, "But you did well this time, it’s a great achievement, the clan will definitely reward you. Go down to receive your reward later."

"Thank you, Clan Leader, this is what we should do."

The few people were filled with gratitude, oblivious to the fleeting fierceness in Xu Changxuan’s eyes.

"Clap clap!"

After they left, Xu Changxuan’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand to clap twice.

A figure appeared silently beside him, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the Clan Leader’s command?"

"Although they did well this time, they deserve a great reward. Take out my treasured wine and reward them. Remember, you must watch them drink it with your own eyes." Xu Changxuan’s voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.

"Clan Leader, is this appropriate?" The figure trembled slightly and said in a low voice.

He was well aware of the meaning behind Xu Changxuan’s treasured wine—it was a deadly poison, sealing the throat once consumed. He was planning to silence them!

To treat even his own people so ruthlessly and mercilessly, it was clear Xu Changxuan truly was a formidable hero of his time.

"Only the dead can’t disclose secrets, right?" Xu Changxuan said coldly.

"Understood!"

The figure said no more, bowed, retreated, and vanished silently.

"Don’t blame me, I’m doing this for the benefit of the clan."

Xu Changxuan waved his hand, collected a dozen black boxes, and stepped towards the Secret Realm in the ancestral land.

Within the Xu Family’s Secret Realm, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was exceptionally abundant, waterfalls roared, and Spiritual Creek babbled.

On a smooth green stone, a young man sat cross-legged, streams of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entered his nostrils like smoke.

His upper body was bare, and his bronzed skin gleamed with a metallic luster under the sunlight, containing explosive energy.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, shooting out beams of brilliance, and looked into the distance.

Through the dense forest, a figure flew towards him, clothes fluttering, like a celestial being.

"Clan Leader!" The young man rose, moved his feet, and approached.

"Wuji, the Essence Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have been found."

Xu Changxuan walked over, waved his hand, and a dozen black boxes fell on the ground between them, each containing hundreds of pounds of Essence Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, enough to cause fights in the outside world.

Xu Wuji looked inside briefly, and said with lackluster interest, "It’s barely passable, very average."

"These were grabbed from the Evil Emperor of Huaxia’s disciple, Demoness Chu. I’m really worried they’ll discover some clues." Xu Changxuan said with concern.

"Humph!"

Xu Wuji snorted coldly, with disdain he said, "What if they do discover it? Once I solidify my realm, not just one Evil Emperor, even with Yan, they won’t be my opponents."

"Then I’m relieved." Xu Changxuan exhaled a long breath, his face hopeful, "Wuji, the Xu Family’s past humiliations will rely on you to wash them away."

"Clan Leader, rest assured, all the humiliations we’ve suffered, once I complete my retreat, I will repay them double." Xu Wuji spoke with authority over the Nine Heavens, looking down on the world with pride.

The Xu Family was once attacked and the ancestral land was breached by Yan, an enduring shame to their clan.

Xu Wuji secretly vowed to make Yan pay a heavy price.

At that moment, in the vast cosmos, Ye Fan arrived in Earth’s outer space with the Three Beasts.

Looking at the blue planet beneath him, Ye Fan’s heart was filled with emotions.

After overcoming many trials, he was finally home, the excitement indescribable.

However, he didn’t land recklessly because the Bai Yan wolf detected powerful Forbidden restrictions in Earth’s outer space, breaking in rashly might lead to a point of no return.

Ultimately, he chose to charge through on Mars, advance to the Venerable Realm, and undergo ascension to sainthood.

The reason for choosing Mars is due to its many legends on Earth, being the closest planet.

Flickering like fire, chaos and confusion!

Mars, anciently known as Yinghuo, also called Chi Star, Punishment Star, and Law Enforcement.

It rules the ages’ success and failure, oversees celestial anomalies, governs the emperor’s rites, manages the Great Honglu, supervises death and sorrow, governs worries.

Overall, in ancient eyes, Mars is akin to a demon star, overseeing terrestrial officials’ transgressions, ruling drought, famine, war chaos, death, anomalies, and more.

On this Ancient Star, Ye Fan sensed the path to sainthood; it was an apt Ancient Star for charging through and becoming a Saint.

Becoming a Saint in such an environment was greatly beneficial for future cultivation.

"We also need to ascend to sainthood!"

Throughout their journey, the Bai Yan wolf and Golden Divine Dragon had been suppressing their realms; they could have ascended to sainthood long ago but held back to accumulate strength for a successful breakthrough.

After bringing Ye Fan to Mars, they each set out, choosing nearby Mercury and Jupiter.

These Ancient Stars too possessed the Saint’s path, aiding their breakthrough, allowing them to become Saints, with many benefits.
