After Lat's Hand finished their meal, the Elder Patriarch of the Crimson Fire Family had already awakened. The White-Haired Elder had concealed himself, and Chief Qi approached the patriarch. At that moment, his expression was as usual; as the steward and sworn brother of the patriarch, he was second only to the patriarch in the Crimson Fire Clan, and no one doubted his loyalty to him.
However, just as the members of the Crimson Fire Clan were gathered together in joy, Chief Qi suddenly drew a small knife and lunged at the patriarch lying on the bed, intending to take his life.
This sudden turn of events left the relatives of the Crimson Fire Clan dumbfounded; such a situation was completely unexpected. Yet, they did not act, their faces filled with indignation!
The Crimson Fire Family had treated him well! How could he commit such a heinous act?! What is tolerable, and what is intolerable?
Chief Qi was also taken aback. Just as he lunged at the Elder Patriarch, the old patriarch's bed suddenly lowered, and the White-Haired Elder appeared out of nowhere, knocking Chief Qi unconscious with a single blow.
At this moment, the Elder Patriarch, now made up and standing among his kin, witnessed Chief Qi stab at him! This was his sworn brother for many years, yet he had turned against him. Tears streamed down his face as his body began to tremble once more.
His family quickly moved him back onto the bed.
The White-Haired Elder whispered to the patriarch, "That woman from outside is indeed formidable; she has an uncanny ability to foresee events and possesses excellent medical skills. We can make great use of her."
The eyes of the Elder Patriarch opened wide like those of an eagle, shining with a strange light. Although he was weak, he still exuded immense authority; as long as he drew breath, he was a supreme being in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
Hearing the words of the White-Haired Elder, he nodded without speaking.
The White-Haired Elder immediately understood his meaning and said, "Who called that High-Surname Woman here?"
Chihuo Yang promptly replied loudly, "I met them both on the Giant Ship. They saved everyone's lives on board. So I invited them to stay. While they were moving around, they noticed our family's medical notice and voluntarily came to offer their help."
The White-Haired Elder responded with an "oh," then said, "You will accompany them and ensure their safety. Tomorrow, please invite that High-Surname Woman to check on the patriarch. Set aside everything else."
Hearing this, Chihuo Yang understood that he was to accompany Lat's Hand and Gao Yuxin full-time, and he immediately agreed with pleasure. He was delighted to learn that Gao Yuxin and the others possessed such high medical skills.
He promptly took his leave and went to accompany the two of them.
*******
A crazy rumor began to spread rapidly throughout the Dragon Python Celestial Domain! This news spread like wildfire across the entire Heavenly Domain, astonishing many Major Powers.
"A youth from Yongning Continent, using the Magic Supreme Technique, completely defeated the encirclement of the top two forces, Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect, killing sixteen elders and devouring all their Origin Energy."
"A youth single-handedly outperformed Lei Zhenxiao and Feng Zhi Yi, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden, leaving the Holy Son severely injured and unable to appear for days."
"A youth from the Ocean Harmony Empire wielding the Artifact Gold Sword caused a commotion at the Dragon Python Celestial Domain Major Power Trade Fair."
"A youth possessing both an Origin Tool and a divine artifact, capable of invisibility and using the Magic Supreme Technique. Truly a remarkable existence."
In the end, everyone finally realized that this youth was none other than the eighteen-year-old Guan Yue!
In no time, Guan Yue's fame overshadowed that of other notable figures, making him the most famous person in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. His portrait began to circulate widely throughout the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
His handsome features and stern gaze captivated many young girls' hearts.
The girls, already feeling rebellious, secretly developed feelings for Guan Yue due to his actions. A person who dared to confront Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect undoubtedly became a hero in their eyes!
The two supreme leaders of Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect were extremely furious and issued orders to capture Guan Yue at all costs and execute him publicly to set things right!
Thus, a grand operation to capture Guan Yue began to unfold.
However, many sects were secretly contacting Guan Yue. On one hand, they wanted to support him in opposing the two major sects; on the other hand, they sought to obtain the Origin Tool and divine artifacts.
Driven by selfish motives, many were also eager to pursue Guan Yue. The allure of the Origin Tool and divine artifacts beckoned to them, driving them to madness.
At this moment, Guan Yue was lying in the Heavenly Peak, with two Primordial Infants who appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, nearly the same size as Guan Yue. They surrounded him, their faces flushed with excitement.
Guan Yue remained with his eyes tightly closed, completely unaware.
The two Primordial Infants each approached and kicked Guan Yue lightly. When he still did not wake up, they each delivered a punch. Finally, Guan Yue's eyes began to move. Gradually, his breathing returned to normal.
Then Guan Yue finally opened his eyes.
Guan Yue felt extremely frustrated; he had been tricked by the Magic Supreme Technique. He had intended to use devouring to deal with his enemies but ended up bursting himself instead. And it was quite an explosion! It was absurd!
But wait—once he fully regained consciousness, he realized his body had changed. The Origin Energy and power within him were abundant, several times stronger than before!
He could clearly feel that he had reached the peak of the Breaking Heaven Realm and could break through to the Mysterious Heaven Realm at any moment!
When he looked at the two Primordial Infants, his eyes widened in surprise, but the two Primordial Infants burst into laughter.
A feeling surged within Guan Yue—a familial impulse. He felt again the essence of Guan Tian's presence. He truly smiled; he had two brothers now, and they were growing so quickly. However, when he looked at the two Primordial Infants, he felt a pang of sadness; both of them had reached the Great Dao Realm? Shouldn't they also be in the Breaking Heaven Realm?
At that moment, one of the dark-skinned Primordial Infants said, "Guan Yue, if it weren't for you devouring a large amount of Origin Energy and power, we would still be disciples at our previous realm. Thanks to your absorption of energy and Origin Energy being sufficient, we have both broken through to the Great Dao Realm together. You'll need to work hard in the future!"
The White-faced Nascent Soul chimed in, "Guan Yue, now that we've come out, it will be a great help to you in the future. However, we are currently quite weak and need you to continue absorbing the energy and power of others, preferably Source Power. Only then can we grow rapidly. Otherwise, we might drag you down."
Guan Yue smiled, "So two little troublemakers have come to me for support?"
The Black Kid replied, "Look at what you're saying. We're not freeloaders; from now on, we'll be responsible for guiding your life."
The White-faced Nascent Soul nodded, "Well said! We are your mentors now. You have no choice but to accept it."
Guan Yue couldn't help but smile wryly. These two Primordial Infants were lively and adorable, quite different from the serious and steady Guan Tian. This made Guan Yue very pleased, so he said, "Alright then, let's give you both names."
He pointed at the black doll and said, "You shall be called Heiqi."
Then he pointed at the White-faced Nascent Soul and said, "You shall be called White Treasure."
Heiqi protested, "Why does he get to be called Treasure? Can't I be called Treasure too?"
The White-faced Nascent Soul laughed brightly, "You think you can also be called Treasure? A piece of black treasure? Spare me. Being called Heiqi is already a compliment."
Heiqi immediately threw a punch at him, and the two Primordial Infants instantly began to fight. Judging by their fighting style, they seemed to have fought often before. Their battles never had a clear winner or loser; each move was met with defense and counterattack in perfect harmony. It was as if they had been fighting for thousands of years and knew each other inside out.
Watching their fight, Guan Yue suddenly experienced an epiphany.
The memories left by his battles with Left One-Ear and Feng Zhi Yi sparked endless associations in his mind. Observing the duel between the two Primordial Infants, two forces involuntarily emerged within him—intertwining and entangling with each other, consuming and replenishing one another, forming a causal relationship!
As they consumed and replenished each other while battling and assisting one another, both sides were mutually causal and could shift and transform at any moment. If this continued in succession, it would resemble Tai Chi.
Guan Yue immediately took out the three books he had purchased at the Li Family trading post: one on Yin and Yang, one on Tai Chi, and one on Bagua. Seizing the moment while it was still fresh in his mind, he began to read.
He was engrossed in these three books until Fang West found him. His mind was filled with concepts of Yin and Yang, the Bagua diagram, and the duality of Tai Chi.
Seeing Fang West looking at him with tears in her eyes, Guan Yue felt a surge of emotion. His body was maturing, and as he grew older, he found himself becoming more affectionate towards girls.
He realized that he didn’t have such delicate feelings for Ouyang Shaohua, Huangfu Jiayin, or Naijia; now he was becoming increasingly susceptible to emotions. He shook his head, trying to harden his heart. Then he looked at Fang West and said, “Don’t cry. I’m doing well now; I even defeated several elders.”
Fang West rushed into Guan Yue’s arms and murmured, “The Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect are truly wicked; they want us dead.”
Guan Yue gently replied, “West, you must remember that no matter what happens to me in the future, you should never take risks. Look, these two brothers will protect me.”
Guan Yue pointed at the two Primordial Infants who were still fighting fiercely.
Fang West glanced at them and casually said, “They’re only at the Great Dao Realm; how can they protect you?”
Guan Yue lifted Fang West’s delicate chin and turned her face toward the two little ones. “West, look at their fighting skills; they are truly remarkable.”
After hearing Guan Yue’s words, Fang West took a serious look. The battle between the two little ones indeed made her heart race. Although they were only at the Great Path Realm, each move was captivating and directly harmed the soul. Moreover, if one continued to stare, it would gradually blur their consciousness!
Fang West realized something was wrong and quickly averted her gaze, softly asking, “Who are those two?”
