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

Transforming into divine light, it tore through the sky.

A streak of purple-gold light shot into the sky from that remote little town, traversing the entire southern wilderness at a terrifying speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.

Wherever it passed, the vast sea of ​​clouds was cleaved apart, and the raging winds dissipated on their own in front of the fleeing light.

Even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth trembled under the crushing force of this Divine Transformation energy, daring not to offer the slightest resistance.

Inside the escaping light.

Tian Shu Laoguai held Su Yu, who was still in swaddling clothes, with one hand, and his divine power transformed into a warm and gentle spiritual light shield.

This completely isolates the infant's fragile body from the terrifying gale-force winds outside, winds powerful enough to tear apart the flesh of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, Su Yu didn't even feel the slightest jolt.

Su Yu silently estimated the flight time and speed in his mind.

With the full speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they have probably covered at least a million miles since taking off.

This was a distance he had never reached in his previous four lives.

Whether it was the thirty years he spent living in Qingmufang in his second life, or the nine hundred years he spent governing Tianyunfang in his third life, his activities were confined to a corner on the edge of the Southern Wilderness.

Now, this old monster who has reached the Nascent Soul stage has already traversed all the territories of his previous lives simply by carrying him on his journey.

The vastness of the cultivation world, and the almost boundless supernatural powers of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, finally transformed from abstract concepts into tangible experiences at this moment.

"We're almost there."

The old monster Tian Shu's aged and deep voice came from above, his tone completely calm.

For him, traversing millions of miles of mountains and rivers was nothing more than a leisurely stroll.

The voice just fell.

The beam of light suddenly slowed down.

The vast sea of ​​clouds slowly receded on both sides, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Su Yu followed the aura and looked in that direction. Even with his experience of living several lifetimes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.

Ahead lay a magnificent mountain range that stretched as far as half a continent.

Countless misty peaks rise like inverted swords piercing the sky.

Dozens of enormous immortal islands floated silently in mid-air, defying the laws of heaven and earth.

Thick, dragon-like waterfalls of spiritual energy cascade down from the fairy island, transforming into a rainbow of seven colors under the sunlight.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is more than ten times higher than that of the Cangxuan Sect, the Nascent Soul Grand Sect where he lived in his third life!

Tian Shu Sect.

The Southern Wilderness is a veritable behemoth in the cultivation world, a top-tier immortal sect with a history spanning tens of thousands of years.

In his third incarnation, he was in the Cangxuan Sect.

The Supreme Elder of the sect, who was in seclusion for many years and was regarded as a god by the entire sect, was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, yet he was already able to intimidate the Yue Kingdom and the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles.

At that time, during a gathering at the villa on Yingke Peak.

Whether it's the proud and arrogant Chu Tiankuo with the Earth Spirit Root, or Lin Wan'er with the First-Grade Spirit Root.

When this name is mentioned occasionally, the tone is filled with deep awe and reverence.

"The Cangxuan Sect dominates the area surrounding the Yue Kingdom and seems to be enjoying boundless glory. However, compared to that ancient behemoth in the Central Region of the Southern Wilderness, it is not even a branch sect."

Su Yu still vividly remembers Chu Tiankuo's bitter smile and sigh after drinking back then.

Only after seeing it with his own eyes today did Su Yu truly understand what the summit of the Southern Wilderness meant.

Here, the hierarchy is so rigid as to be outrageous.

A mid-grade spiritual root that is treasured by small and medium-sized families in the outside world.

In the Tian Shu Sect, he could only barely manage to become an ordinary "outer disciple," doing errands and odd jobs.

Only those with a superior spiritual root of grade three or above are qualified to enter the inner sect.

As for the lofty "true disciples," one must have at least a first-grade spiritual root to even attempt to attain them.

Beyond the true teachings, the Tian Shu Sect also possesses a unique dimension belonging to the Cloud Realm.

Holy Son and Holy Daughter!

Every holy son and daughter must not only possess exceptional spiritual talent, but also have a special constitution passed down from ancient times.

They are unparalleled geniuses nurtured from childhood by the sect's full resources and abundant rare treasures; they are the future pillars of the sect.

Currently, within the vast Tian Shu Sect, there are countless talents, but only four Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

"boom--!"

Without warning, a powerful pressure that could change the very fabric of the world crashed down on the protective formation of the Tian Shu Sect, as massive as ten thousand mountains.

The great formation, which was powerful enough to withstand the combined onslaught of several Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, not only showed no intention of obstructing the attack, but seemed to have welcomed its true master.

All the array patterns emitted an extremely docile hum and retreated to both sides like ripples on water.

"This aura..."

"It's the Supreme Elder! The Supreme Elder has emerged from seclusion!!!"

Within the Tian Shu Sect, from outer sect servants to inner sect elites, and even the elders in seclusion, all paled in horror under this oppressive aura.

The next moment, all the cultivators, no matter what they were doing, suddenly had their knees buckle and knelt heavily in the direction of the main peak.

Tian Shu Old Monster, the only Supreme Elder of Tian Shu Sect, is also one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators in this world.

He has been in seclusion for over ten thousand years and has never set foot in the mortal world!

Even many newly promoted Golden Core and Nascent Soul elders have only seen this name on the sect's top-secret roster.

Today, he not only emerged from seclusion, but also personally manifested his Dharma body and descended upon the mountain gate.

In front of the main hall of the Tian Shu Sect, the current sect leader led all the elders out at top speed.

The current sect leader, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was covered in cold sweat.

He led dozens of powerful elders at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages, kneeling respectfully and prostrating themselves outside the main hall.

"Welcome, Venerable Elder!"

The cheers and shouts of welcome, as loud as a mountain and as deep as the ocean, resounded through the sky.

As the purple light dissipated, the god-like figure of the Heavenly Pivot Old Monster landed in the center of the main hall.

However, when the sect leader and the elders quietly raised their heads, wanting to catch a glimpse of the immortal face of this ancient ancestor, they were all petrified on the spot, as if they had seen a ghost.

In the arms of the Supreme Elder...

He was actually holding an ordinary baby in swaddling clothes?!

And there was a newborn baby inside?!

The high-ranking officials in the hall stared at each other in silence, not daring to even swallow.

Our ancestor secluded himself for ten thousand years, went out for a stroll, and came back with a baby.

Could this be...?

The bloodline left behind by our ancestor in the mortal realm?!

Tian Shu Laoguai completely ignored what kind of drama his disciples and followers were imagining.

He walked to the white jade throne at the top of the hall, but instead of sitting down, he turned around and looked down with his deep gaze.

"Today, I will announce only two things."

The voice of the Old Monster Tian Shu echoed like the tolling of an ancient bell within the main hall.

"Firstly, this infant is the successor to whom I personally used the divine treasure 'Nine Revolutions Creation Divine Liquid' to reshape his physical bones."

"Now, it has become an Earth Spirit Root."

Earth Spirit Root!

Upon hearing this, the seven Nascent Soul elders in the hall almost simultaneously held their breath.

The ultimate treasure for transforming into a divine being: the Nine-Turn Creation Divine Liquid!

Earth Spirit Root!

These peerless spiritual objects, whose names only exist in ancient fragments, actually exist?

And the Supreme Patriarch even used it on an infant?!

While the earth's spiritual roots are indeed precious.

However, in the Tian Shu Sect, not to mention earth spiritual roots, even heaven spiritual roots, and even several extremely rare mutated spiritual roots, have appeared in the past generations.

What truly sent chills down everyone's spines was the fact that the Old Monster Tian Shu had personally reshaped his physical bones.

What does this mean?

This means that the baby's original aptitude was extremely poor, so poor that even the Supreme Ancestor had to use a peerless spiritual object to make up for it.

Even so, this peak Nascent Soul cultivator, who had been in seclusion for ten thousand years, still spared no expense in shaping it into an Earth Spirit Root.

Could this baby really be the illegitimate child of the Supreme Patriarch?

For a time, many Nascent Soul elders could only think in this direction.

Secondly…

Tian Shu Lao Guai paused, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"On the day this child was born, it caused auspicious signs of purple aura coming from the east, all beasts coming to pay homage, spiritual rain falling, and spiritual energy surging back in all directions."

"He is a chosen one, blessed by Heaven!"

At this point, Tian Shu Laoguai looked down at the swaddled baby in his arms, a fervent anticipation flashing in his deep eyes.

"This child is born into the mortal Su family. 'Yu' means to grow wings and take flight, and also implies ascension to immortality! Today, I will personally bestow upon him the name—Su Yu!"

The old monster suddenly raised his head, his voice booming like a bell, reverberating deep within the souls of every elder of the Tian Shu Sect.

"From this day forward, he, Su Yu, is the fifth Holy Son of my Tian Shu Sect!"

The words echoed in the empty hall for a long time, like a heavy hammer blow that struck everyone's heart.

At this moment, Su Yu, who was the focus of everyone's attention, lay quietly in his swaddling clothes.

"Even the name bestowed upon me was perfectly matched to the name of my true spirit's origin, thanks to this old monster's own imagination."

"Is it good fortune or coincidence?"

Su Yu sighed inwardly.

This is no longer just about finding treasure or escaping misfortune.

Even the karmic causes and destinies in the dark are forcibly reversed and smoothed out by this heaven-defying fortune!

Below the main hall, the current sect leader, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, finally succumbed to the pressure of this earth-shattering decision and forced a trembling voice to speak.

"Elder, please calm your anger. This matter... shouldn't we consider this matter further?"

"Throughout the generations of holy sons and daughters of my Tian Shu Sect, none of them have been unparalleled prodigies with special physiques. Although this young Grandmaster Su Yu is blessed with great fortune, he only possesses the 'Earth Spiritual Root' he acquired through later cultivation..."

"According to the sect's ironclad rules, while having an earth-elemental root certainly guarantees entry into the true lineage, it still falls short of the necessary foundation to become a Holy Son!"

"If he is forcibly established as the fifth Holy Son, I fear that the entire sect, and even the other four Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, will be dissatisfied..."

The sect leader's words were cut short before he could finish speaking.

The old monster Tian Shu's turbid eyes revealed a chilling ruthlessness.

He looked down at the sect leader, his voice seemingly coming from the deepest hell, as he casually uttered a single sentence.

"My successor is the Holy Son."

The old monster's cold gaze swept over the trembling elders filling the hall.

"Anyone have a problem with that?"

The main hall was eerily silent.

Opinions? Who dares to have any opinions!

The absolute authority of the peak Nascent Soul stage is like an insurmountable sky pressing down on everyone's heads!

In the face of absolute power, the so-called ironclad rules of sects and the so-called special physiques are nothing but scraps of paper that can be torn up at will.

"I...I humbly obey the decree of the Supreme Elder! Greetings to the Fifth Holy Son!"

The sect leader suppressed his horror and lay on the ground, screaming hoarsely.

All the elders in the hall kowtowed to the ground in unison, and not one of them dared to utter a single unnecessary word.

……

The powerful suppressed all dissent.

Holding the swaddling clothes, the old monster Tian Shu turned and entered the cave deep within the main peak, which had been sealed for ten thousand years. He then placed Su Yu on the warm jade bed.

He didn't say much.

The protection of a guardian is not indulgence, but rather a process of tempering and refining.

He can teach techniques and reveal profound secrets.

But ultimately, Su Yu has to forge his own path in cultivation.

Unless, of course, they are truly in a life-or-death situation.

However, thinking of the extraordinary phenomenon of purple aura coming from the east and all beasts paying homage, the old monster smiled wryly.

"Given this kid's luck, I probably won't be able to use my skills for many more times."

Su Yu, still in her swaddling clothes, listened quietly.

With the support of a deity and boundless good fortune, what could be a more secure start?
