As expected, it was in the hands of the Qilin clan.
Chen Chang'an had suspected that this item would likely be held by one of the top-tier powerhouses, which was why he had chosen to visit the Qilin clan first.
On one hand, he wanted Da Huang to return and see if there would be any gains. On the other hand, he also wanted to gather information about the fragments of the Laws.
"Do you know I’ve been searching for this?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"I do."
"And it seems that aside from you, no one else can use it."
"This thing was originally called the Fragment of the Law of Life."
"You’ve already comprehended the power of the Laws?" The Qilin clan leader asked in astonishment.
Chen Chang'an didn’t hide it and nodded. Comprehending the power of the Laws wasn’t something that needed to be kept secret.
"So, do you know the whereabouts of the other Law fragments?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"I do."
It actually knew the locations of the other Law fragments?
This news brought Chen Chang'an immense joy. Now, he wouldn’t have to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
"Where are they?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"I have one here. The Dragon and Phoenix clans each have one as well."
Chen Chang'an had only found three Law fragments so far. Including those from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, that made six—still three short.
"That’s it?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"I also know the Mu Family has one, and the Ye Family seems to have one as well."
"That’s all I know. Isn’t this the complete set?" the Qilin clan leader asked.
The Mu and Ye Families also had them? Why did Mu Yunhai and Ye Beixuan claim they’d never seen them?
Was it because these items had been kept hidden, not even disclosed to their own clansmen?
Most importantly, why was one still missing?
"There’s indeed one missing."
"It seems I’ll have to search for that one myself."
"But with these clues, it’ll save me a lot of trouble."
"The Dragon and Phoenix clans, as well as the Mu and Ye Families—looks like I’ll have to visit them all."
"By the way, how did these things end up in your possession?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Someone entrusted them to us for safekeeping."
Someone entrusted them to you?
Chen Tian?
"Chen Tian?"
"Yes, it was him."
"Chen Tian was an extraordinary man. Before you, none of us had ever imagined someone so outstanding could appear."
"His cultivation progressed rapidly, and his strength was immense. From the moment he appeared to the time he conquered the entire Ancient Immortal Domain, it took him only a few hundred years."
"You must understand—this is the Ancient Immortal Domain. For ordinary people, even a few hundred years wouldn’t bring much progress in cultivation. Yet, he reached the pinnacle of this world."
"But his appearance seemed to serve a purpose. Once that purpose was fulfilled, he vanished without a trace."
"Since then, no one has heard any news about him." The Qilin clan leader sighed.
As for Chen Tian, Chen Chang'an’s feelings were complicated. They weren’t exactly friends, but they weren’t enemies either.
Yet, the reason Chen Tian appeared here was likely related to him.
Who was he? Why did he do this?
What exactly was his connection to Chen Chang'an?
According to Chen Tian, only by standing at the peak of the Ancient Immortal Domain would Chen Chang'an have the chance to uncover his own secrets.
And even then, it was merely a chance—nothing more.
Could it be that the future Hu Tianjiao had foreseen was truly caused by him?
Chen Chang'an took the Law fragment from the Qilin clan leader without hesitation and immediately fused it with himself.
As the fragment merged into his body, Chen Chang'an felt the power of the Law of Life within him finally break free of all restrictions.
"How long will your Holy Master take to complete the inheritance?"
"It’s hard to say—maybe a few years, or even decades. Why do you ask?"
"No reason."
It would take that long? Chen Chang'an had promised the Tree God to return within ten years. If he waited for Da Huang, he might not make it in time.
"Yi Tuo, Little Earthworm, you two stay here and wait for Da Huang."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."
Hearing this, Little Earthworm and Yi Tuo immediately understood what he was planning.
"Go ahead, Father. I’ll wait here for Brother Da Huang."
"By the way, will you come back?" Little Earthworm asked.
"That depends."
"If Da Huang finishes his inheritance first, come find me."
"Though I doubt he’ll be done that quickly."
After some thought, Chen Chang'an estimated that traveling to the Pure Sea and back would take about two or three years.
Whether Da Huang could complete his inheritance within that time was still uncertain.
"If I don’t return, come find me at the Pure Sea."
"If I do come back, we’ll figure it out then."
"Got it."
"But you’re leaving so soon? Shouldn’t we eat something first?"
Hearing Little Earthworm’s words, Chen Chang'an could only chuckle helplessly. This kid had truly learned to be mischievous.
"It’s fine. I might be back soon."
"Best not to delay and risk complications."
Chen Chang'an had come to the Qilin clan for two reasons—to find the Law fragment and to help Da Huang improve his strength.
Though he had just arrived, both objectives had been accomplished, so there was no need to linger further.
"You’re going to the Pure Sea?"
Upon hearing this, the Qilin clan leader seemed hesitant.
"What’s the matter?"
"We came here by passing through the Pure Sea. Is there a problem?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"The Pure Sea… For a very, very long time, no one has chosen to take that route."
"You actually came here through the Pure Sea?"
What did that mean?
Why would no one choose to travel through the Pure Sea?
"Is there something wrong with the Pure Sea?" Chen Chang'an frowned.
"It’s not exactly wrong, but there have been rumors."
"It’s said that something dangerous lurks within the Pure Sea."
"According to legend, an Immortal Venerable-level expert once died there, so people stopped taking that path."
"Why did you choose to come through the Pure Sea?" The Qilin clan leader asked in confusion.
Why?
Chen Chang'an glanced at Little Earthworm, who laughed awkwardly and said, "Father, I didn’t know about this either."
"But nothing happened to us, right? If anything, it was a blessing in disguise. Don’t you think?"
True, nothing had happened. But such misinformation couldn’t be allowed again.
"Father, I swear there won’t be a next time."
"Trust me." Little Earthworm said solemnly.
"Fine, I’ll let it slide this time."
"I’m leaving now."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
