My name is Yu Teng, the sixth elder of the Yu family. People call me Lao Liu (Old Six).

On the day I was born, my father held me, still in my swaddling clothes, high above his head and uttered a statement that would resonate throughout history.

"My son, Yu Teng, possesses the potential to become an emperor!"

It's because I was born with a ten-meter-long golden glow. My father said it was the light of immortality and that I was some future Heavenly Emperor who would end some dark turmoil.

Although these words were strange and a little frightening, I believed them.

Because I have really good talent.

In the first century, I personally guided Qi into my body and advanced to the Refinement of Emptiness.

In the second century, my cultivation journey was relatively smooth, and I advanced to the next level and transcended the tribulation.

At that time, I thought I was the protagonist in a folk tale and that I would definitely become a pillar of the human race in the future.

pity.

Just when I thought my wondrous cultivation tale was about to go smoothly...

I challenged a prodigy from the same generation as me.

His name was Yu Shanhe, a renowned and powerful figure in the Yu family, who was at the Tribulation Transcending stage at the time.

I thought I had the potential to be an emperor, and I was full of confidence before the challenge.

But when the challenge actually begins...

I only managed to withstand three moves from Yu Shanhe.

Yu Shanhe shattered my sword in just three moves, then used the sword to cut off a strand of my hair. Looking down at me with a smile, he told me that I would never be his match in my entire life.

I am very sad and angry.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

But I just can't beat him.

Yu Shanhe was a very famous figure two hundred years ago.

He killed a demon king who had undergone tribulation while still in the Void Refinement stage, and single-handedly broke into the capital at night, defeating all the invincible opponents of that generation.

At that time, I thought that Yu Shanhe might become a new human venerable one in the future and ascend to the level of a true immortal.

But a few months later, I heard that Yu Shanhe had died at the hands of a newly ascended demon king who had undergone tribulation.

I'm so frustrated. How could such a genius die?

Shouldn't he be like a true dragon, breaking through the clouds and becoming invincible under heaven?

Later I told myself that the demon king in the Tribulation Transcending stage of the demon race must have had higher talent and stronger luck.

As a result, just a few days later, the demon king who killed Yu Shanhe died at the hands of another demon king during the internal strife of the demon race.

That demon king was quite famous back then; he was called the Fire Sparrow Demon King.

I started to find out who the Firebird Demon King was.

It's not a big deal if you don't check, but what you find is shocking.

The other party was actually of the bloodline of the ancient phoenix, and had the identity of a true phoenix descendant.

My regret for Yushan River gradually faded away.

Ultimately, fate intervened, and Yushanhe was defeated by the Phoenix.

As a result, several decades later, I finally emerged from seclusion.

Then I heard something that seemed insignificant to people.

The disciple of Venerable Fuyu encountered the Fire Sparrow Demon King when he descended to the mortal realm.

Venerable Fuyu casually killed the Fire Sparrow Demon King with a single sword strike.

This matter did not cause any significant stir on the mainland.

Compared to the three human lords, the Firebird Demon King was merely a slightly larger ant.

Yu Shanhe died at the hands of the newly promoted Tribulation-Crossing Demon King, who then died at the hands of the Fire Sparrow Demon King at the height of his power.

As a result, not many decades later, the Fire Sparrow Demon King was casually killed by Venerable Fuyu in an unknown mountain valley in the mortal world.

I suddenly realized the truth.

Talent and opportunity are not actually the most important things in the world of cultivation.

Yu Shanhe, who could overshadow the genius of two hundred years ago, is dead; the newly crowned demon king, who was unparalleled in his prowess, is dead; the Fire Sparrow Demon King, who was famous throughout the demon race during an internal strife, is dead; and Venerable Fuyu ascended to heaven, but his fate remains unknown...

What talent? What opportunity?

That's not important at all. The most important thing is to survive!

As long as you can survive, live for a hundred years, live for a thousand years, and not die, you will become an immortal sooner or later!

If one hundred years isn't enough, then one thousand years; if one thousand years isn't enough, then ten thousand years.

A wise man once said that even a dog that lives for ten thousand years should become an immortal.

Only those who survive are truly strong.

Even if someone was invincible in heaven and earth when they died, they are nothing more than bones and dust.

From then on, I gradually began to use any means necessary in my cultivation journey.

And I never get into conflicts with others.

I won't get into conflict with anyone unless I'm absolutely certain.

Therefore, I also successfully advanced to Mahayana Buddhism.

However, after advancing to the Mahayana stage, my cultivation became increasingly difficult.

Because I've reached the limit of my talent.

But I wasn't bothered; instead, I started looking for ways to improve my qualifications.

I secretly learned a kind of magic from the demon race. As long as I sacrifice my bloodline, I can improve my aptitude.

In order to improve my cultivation aptitude, I killed my own son.

I have no regrets, I love him very much.

But if my cultivation cannot improve, I will one day die in the endless, turbulent world of cultivation.

Only if I live will my descendants have a chance.

Unfortunately, one child's blood is not enough for me to improve my bloodline.

I secretly killed many more people.

However, on the surface, I am still the righteous elder of the Yu family. In order to maintain my righteous identity, I shifted the blame for the murder of my relatives onto the demon race.

Unfortunately, one night, I was captured by the Demon King Yuanlong. Instead of killing me, he threatened me that if I didn't become a spy for the demon race, he would expose my evil deeds.

I didn't object; I just asked the Abyss Dragon Demon King for a new method to improve my aptitude.

The price is helping the demon race once at a crucial moment.

I am Yu Teng, the sixth elder of the Yu family, a man with the potential to become an emperor.

This is my past.

……

It was late at night, and all was quiet.

The branches and leaves of the surrounding fire trees rustled in the wind, making everyone feel flustered and uneasy.

Yu Teng, an old man, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the jade slip that the Abyss Dragon Demon King had passed down to him.

"Do you need me to find out anything about the Yu family?"

"Hmm? Young Master Yu Ge's dragon energy is out of control? The Yu Yuan family head and mistress are fighting? And the Grand Elder's old injuries have flared up again?"

The next day.

Just as Yu Teng was about to go out to investigate the veracity of these messages, he saw five dragon souls soaring into the sky from Yu Ge's residence, roaring and howling.

Yu Teng was startled. "Young Master Yu Ge's dragon aura has really gone out of control?"

Yu Teng then saw the scene of devastation outside the Fuxue Palace.

Nearby, a member of the Yu family was saying, "The mistress finally couldn't stand the patriarch keeping concubines in this hall anymore..."

"Oh dear, I heard that the head of the family and the mistress of the house are both injured. And there's an ancestral worship ceremony coming up soon. Isn't this just ridiculous..."

Some people are still discussing it.

"Have you heard? The Grand Elder said his old injury has flared up and he's gone into seclusion..."

"Old wound? What wound?"

"How would I know..."

"Could it be hemorrhoids? I heard the Grand Elder was once killed by a powerful demon a thousand years ago..."

"...That really hurts."

"..."

Yu Teng: ...

Yu Teng carefully checked these messages again, and finally felt relieved enough to send a reply to the Abyss Dragon Demon King.

[Only by staying alive can you contribute: Lord Yuanlong, what you said is absolutely true...]

【…】

Demon race.

After confirming that something had happened within the Yu family, the Demon King Yuanlong narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh.

"The decapitation operation will begin in three days!"

The Demon King Yuanlong casually closed a book on the table, then walked to the bedside with a serious expression and his hands behind his back.

"As the strategist of the demon race, I am about to lead them to a peak that even the Demon Lord could not achieve. I am undoubtedly excited..."

As for the closed book on the table, its title is...

"On How to Slay the Chosen One"...

Subsequently, the Demon King Yuanlong and Murong Qi confirmed the plan for the decapitation operation three days later.

It's a very simple three-step process.

Secretly unleashing a burial curse comparable to a curse of bad luck in the ancestral hall.

Opening the gate to another realm attracts the Demon King.

Cooperate with the demon race to kill Yu Ge and annihilate the human race's high-ranking officials!

Actually, the plan hasn't changed much from before; it's just that this time, we've added more leverage.

The Demon King Yuanlong was going to lead all the powerful demons he could bring to besiege Yu Ge, even though Yu Ge was only at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Abyss Dragon Demon King: "If I go all out to hunt you down, won't you just explode?"

Yu Ge: ...It's hard to say.

……

As for the other side...

A secret message was suddenly sent to the jade slips of the heads of various sects in the Nine Heavens.

The title of the jade slip is:

[SSS-level Project: Protect our Yu Ge, details to follow...]

Nine Heavens Clan Leaders: ? ? ?

Then, the ancestral worship ceremony of the Shangyuan Yu family, three days later, finally arrived...
