I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

Inside the side room, Su's grandfather and mother, Madam Liu, kept their heads pressed firmly to the ground, not daring to even breathe.

Although the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul stage, which placed it above all living beings, had been subdued.

But the old man at the Nascent Soul stage merely stood there, and the unintentional flow of time and vicissitudes around him was enough to make these low-level cultivators tremble in their souls.

The old man ignored the two people on the ground.

His deep, unfathomable eyes were fixed on Su Yu, who was still in swaddling clothes.

Since he is the chosen one of destiny who has attracted such auspicious omens as the purple aura from the east and the worship of all beasts.

Its innate qualities at the time of its birth must have been an extraordinary heavenly spiritual root, or even some kind of peerless Dao body that only exists in ancient fragments!

With this conviction and expectation.

Tian Shu Lao Guai slowly extended a finger and gently tapped it from a distance.

A wisp of divine consciousness, having reached the Nascent Soul stage, probed into Su Yu's tender body through his fingertips.

however.

The moment the divine sense swept over Su Yu's limbs and bones and touched that section of spiritual root.

The old man's face, which had been as still as a deep well for millennia, suddenly froze.

The temperature inside the room plummeted to freezing point in that instant!

A suffocating, heavy aura of death uncontrollably seeped out of the old man's body.

"Click—"

The wooden table in the corner, under the influence of this overflowing fragrance, silently turned into fine dust.

The grandfather and Liu, kneeling on the ground, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their blood seemingly frozen, and they were filled with utter horror.

What's wrong?!

Could it be that something went wrong with the child's aptitude, angering this old deity?!

The old man slowly withdrew his finger, his deep, aged eyes fixed on Su Yu.

"Ninth rank...a rotten root?"

A tremendous wave of shock surged through the old man's heart, revealing an utter disbelief.

He has lived for tens of thousands of years and has seen countless geniuses.

But the infant in front of us, who had triggered the supreme phenomenon, had meridians that were blocked and as narrow as a hair!

How can this be considered a chosen one of destiny?

This is clearly the most worthless mortal bone at the very bottom of the cultivation world!

"Heavens...are you really playing a trick on this old man?"

The old man looked up, a deep shadow of gloom and struggle flashing in his eyes.

People generally believed that a great deity could live as long as heaven and earth, living a carefree and unrestrained life.

But only he himself knew that the Heavenly Dao of this Southern Wilderness was incomplete!

The outside was completely sealed off by a solid barrier!

Reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is the absolute end of this world.

He has been stuck at this level for far too long.

Not only could his cultivation not advance an inch, but even his lifespan was being devoured and stripped away day and night by this incomplete law.

He spent thousands of years of his lifespan forcibly deducing the secrets of heaven, only to calculate this glimmer of hope that was "ordained by heaven" today.

The extraordinary good fortune possessed by this baby is his only hope to complete the Heavenly Dao, break through the boundary, and transcend this prison!

"The Heavenly Dao is so flawed that even the chosen one sent to break the deadlock can only be such a crude and worthless mortal..."

The old man let out a desolate sigh in his heart.

But only three breaths later.

The gloom in his eyes was replaced by a coldness and decisiveness forged through millennia of battle!

He didn't have time to wait for another ten thousand years.

Since this is the only key that fate has given him.

Even if this key is rusty, a piece of rotten wood, or a piece of scrap iron!

He also wanted to use all his accumulated knowledge and skills over tens of thousands of years to forge it into a divine sword that could cleave through the barriers between worlds!

Lying in his swaddling clothes, Su Yu saw the complex struggle and determination in the old man's eyes.

He was all too familiar with that look.

Judging from the appearance, this old monster must be plotting a world-shaking cause and effect behind the scenes.

Even within himself, there is something that the other party would rely on at all costs!

I suppose it must be my own luck?

In short, whatever this old monster's motives may be.

Before you can fully mature, the other party has to willingly reveal their secrets and pave the way for you!

as predicted.

The old man took a deep breath, completely suppressing his disappointment.

"Since Heaven has not bestowed upon you a foundation for cultivation, then I, this old man, will defy Heaven and reshape your very being!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man flipped his hand over.

"Buzz—"

A jade bottle radiating a seven-colored, glassy luster appeared out of thin air in his palm.

As soon as the jade bottle appeared, an extremely rich and refreshing fragrance instantly filled the entire room!

I could only smell the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from it.

While kneeling on the ground, Liu Shi broke through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi Refining, which had been stagnant for several years, to the fourth level of Qi Refining on the spot!

The elderly grandfather felt his blood and energy surge, and his dry white hair even showed signs of turning black again, as if his lifespan had been extended by more than ten years!

The two stared wide-eyed at the small jade bottle in utter horror.

"This is the 'Nine Revolutions Creation Elixir' that is 100,000 years old."

The old man looked at the jade bottle, and even with his peak Nascent Soul stage mental state, a trace of undisguised heartache flashed in his eyes.

This is a supreme treasure that he found tens of thousands of years ago in an extremely dangerous place where an ancient great being passed away, after surviving countless near-death experiences.

There will never be another drop like it in this world.

It can not only bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, but also defy fate and reshape one's very being!

But at this moment, for his only hope of transcending poverty, he could only treat it as an initial investment and pour it heavily into the body of this infant with the lowest of the nine inferior roots.

The old man carefully uncorked the jade bottle.

A droplet, shimmering with seven colors and resembling a liquid star, slowly floated out.

In order not to burst Su Yu's fragile newborn body, the old man suppressed his peak Nascent Soul cultivation to the extreme.

His divine sense, as fine as silk, transformed that drop of divine liquid into countless strands of gentle spiritual mist.

Following Su Yu's breathing, it was gently and slowly introduced into his meridians, drop by drop.

There was no burning pain, no tearing pain in the meridians.

Su Yu felt a warm current, like warm milk in the cold winter, spreading comfortably into his limbs and bones.

This level of comfort is even better than being inside a snake!

You should know, in the previous life...

He ate bitter herbs for several years and tortured himself to the point of near death in the stinking slums using his self-created techniques before finally washing away his ninth rank to the eighth.

Now, lying in soft swaddling clothes, he enjoys the extremely delicate magical massage from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His spiritual root aptitude has skyrocketed!

The stagnant, inferior roots of the ninth rank melted away like spring snow under the cleansing effect of the Divine Elixir of Creation.

Eighth rank!

Rank 7!

Fourth rank...

One product!

It took less than half an hour.

His spiritual root talent broke through layer upon layer of barriers without any hindrance, but ultimately stopped at that realm that made countless cultivators envious and crazy!

Earth Spirit Root!

Although it failed to transform into a top-tier Heavenly Spiritual Root in one fell swoop, this was already the physical limit that this drop of divine liquid could modify mortal flesh and bones.

The old man slowly withdrew his magic power, his face even turning slightly pale due to the extremely precise control he had exerted.

He looked at Su Yu in his swaddling clothes and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Earth elemental root... is barely enough."

Although he failed to reach the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root in one fell swoop, there was little regret in Tian Shu Lao Guai's eyes; instead, there was a shrewd and confident look in them.

Since this young man is the chosen one who will trigger the four auspicious omens, what he lacks least is opportunity!

With this earthly spiritual root as the foundation to support the Great Dao, as long as he doesn't perish prematurely.

Countless rare treasures and supreme inheritances buried for tens of thousands of years in this world will line up and crash into his arms!

If in the future I were to encounter some extraordinary, miraculous transformation that would cleanse my marrow and bones, it would be only a matter of course for this earthly spiritual root to be further refined and transformed into a "heavenly spiritual root" that is unique throughout the ages.

Even a peerless Dao Body of an even higher level is not out of the question!

"Such extraordinary good fortune is worthy of my high-stakes gamble today!"

Having done all this, the old man regained his aloof and unfathomable demeanor.

He turned around and looked coldly at Su's grandfather, who was kneeling on the ground, still unable to extricate himself from the shock.

"My Daoist name is Tian Shu."

The voice of the Old Monster Tian Shu seemed to carry a magical power that could suppress heaven and earth.

"This child possesses extraordinary talent; leaving him in such a remote and impoverished place would only be a waste of his potential."

"Today, I will take him away and bring him back to the Immortal Sect to personally pass on my mantle!"

This statement came out.

Kneeling by the bed, Madam Liu trembled violently, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

That was a piece of her flesh that she had carried for ten months and that had fallen from her body!

She was only a month old, and before she could even call out "Mother," she was forcibly taken away.

As a mother, how could I not be heartbroken?

She instinctively reached out, wanting to hug the swaddled baby tightly.

But her hand, halfway out, froze in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.

It wasn't because the old monster Tian Shu suppressed her with his magic.

It's not because she dares to, but because she doesn't dare.

She was just a weak woman at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and she knew all too well what this god-like old man in front of her meant.

Revolt?

What can we use to resist?

Not to mention that the entire Qianlong Su family is nothing but a fart in front of such a powerful figure.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, being personally accepted as a successor by an old immortal above the Nascent Soul stage is a heaven-reaching path that countless people have sought for hundreds of lifetimes!

If she follows the old immortal, her son will surely soar through the heavens and become the most dazzling dragon in this world.

If we selfishly leave him in the Su family, this astonishing phenomenon will sooner or later bring annihilation to the child and the family!

"I beg the old immortal... for your great kindness and virtue, grant my grandson a blessed future!"

Su's grandfather was the head of the family, so his vision was naturally more clear-headed than Liu's.

He pressed down hard on his daughter-in-law's trembling shoulders and kowtowed frantically to the old monster Tian Shu, his forehead slamming against the bluestone slab with a loud thud.

The old monster Tian Shu's gaze was indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever towards the mundane familial ties and separations.

With a wave of his sleeve, an ancient-looking storage ring and a purple-gold jade talisman landed steadily in front of his grandfather.

"By taking this child away, I will have fulfilled my obligation to the Su family."

"This ring contains high-level cultivation techniques and a vast amount of spirit stones, enough to ensure your Su family's prosperity for a hundred years."

"As for this jade talisman, if the Su family is ever wiped out in the future, crush it, and someone will surely eliminate all the powerful enemies for your Su family!"

After leaving behind this exorbitant compensation, Old Monster Tian Shu didn't utter another word of nonsense.

With a single gesture, a gentle, invisible force lifted Su Yu from his swaddling clothes.

"Walk!"

The escape light of a Nascent Soul cultivator is terrifying.

With a flash of purple light, the old man and the baby in the room vanished into thin air, as if they had never been there at all.

Only the purple-gold jade talisman and the storage ring remained, lying quietly on the floor tiles.

Finally, Liu could no longer hold back and collapsed onto the bed, covering her mouth and wailing.

But the grandfather of the Su family reacted quite differently.

He clutched the storage ring and the purple-gold jade talisman tightly in both hands, his lips curving into an uncontrollable, wild grin, his beard trembling with excitement!

Sadness? Reluctance to part? Tears streaming down one's face?

What kind of joke is this about the cultivation world!

The grandson wasn't going to his death; he was personally taken back to a top-tier immortal sect by a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator!

Such extraordinary fortune is something that other families couldn't obtain even if they dug up their ancestral graves and offered sacrifices to the entire clan!

What's more, the storage ring in his hand contains top-tier cultivation techniques and massive resources that would allow the entire Su family to roam freely within this vast area!

With this purple-gold jade talisman, the Su family has an extra get-out-of-jail-free card!

"Stop crying! Wipe your tears away!"

Seeing Liu Shi weeping, the grandfather couldn't help but lower his voice and scold her, but the joy and ambition in his tone were almost overflowing.

"This is an immense blessing for my grandson, and a chance for the Su family to soar to new heights!"

"From this day forward, relying on the foundation my grandson has built, my Su family of Qianlong... will truly become a powerful and influential force in this Southern Wilderness!"
