The household guards were all stunned. “Madam actually extracted Eldest Young Master Qingchen’s Sacred Bone and gave it to the Young Master!”
“The Young Master originally had a Heavenly Bone, but compared to a Sacred Bone, it was still inferior…”
“Now the Young Master has profited instead. The Astrologer removed the Chaotic Poison, and his Heavenly Bone was exchanged for a Sacred Bone.”
“Plus, he even picked up a demonic technique. Though it’ll be handed over later, keeping a copy might be useful for future cultivation.”
“Madam did the right thing. Who told Eldest Young Master to commit such a crime? He should provide compensation!”
Surprise aside, there was even a faint sense of satisfaction among the guards.
The Young Master had lived in the residence for three years—gentle, kind, and handsome. Everyone adored him. When they heard the accusations before, they couldn’t believe it. Now that the injustice had been righted, the guards were overjoyed.
The Young Master was still the same kind and innocent boy.
It was just a pity that his blood didn’t come from the Su family. That gap would always exist.
Just as the guards thought this matter would have to be swept under the rug…
Xi Yaoyue unexpectedly extracted Xiao Qingchen’s Sacred Bone and implanted it into Su Yun!
The Heavenly Bone was replaced with a Sacred Bone. In the future, the Young Master’s achievements would surely soar to new heights.
Though he had suffered a great calamity, he had also gained a tremendous opportunity.
A blessing in disguise.
Xiao Qingchen couldn’t move. His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Xi Yaoyue. “You… you actually gave my Sacred Bone… to that outsider!”
“You… how dare you steal my Dao foundation!”
Once his strength returned, he swore to have the entire Su family executed!
Xiao Qingchen had reincarnated with the memories of his past life. He regained those memories early in his new life.
When he realized he was born with a Sacred Bone and was the heir of a noble house, he was sure this life would be smooth sailing.
With the memories of an emperor, he would quickly rise to power again.
But he never imagined that just dealing with a three-year-old child would cause everything to collapse.
Even his precious Sacred Bone was snatched away!
Xiao Qingchen was furious. But with no cultivation right now, he could do nothing. He could only watch helplessly as the Sacred Bone merged into Su Yun’s chest, and even the scar vanished.
“Ah—!” Xiao Qingchen gasped in rage, so furious he fainted on the spot.
Xi Yaoyue watched the radiant bone fuse into Su Yun’s body. Seeing no adverse effects after a while, she finally relaxed.
Then she turned her head coldly and looked at Lin Ying’er. “And you.”
Lin Ying’er trembled all over, not daring to speak.
She never expected Xi Yaoyue’s feelings for Su Yun to run so deep!
She actually ignored her own blood son and extracted Xiao Qingchen’s Supreme Sacred Bone!
That bone was a miraculous gift from heaven—guaranteed to help one become a Saint, and easily ascend to Emperor.
“Su Yun lost his Heavenly Bone… and ended up with a Sacred Bone?”
Lin Ying’er regretted everything. She shouldn’t have spoken up.
If she hadn’t interfered, none of this would’ve happened.
Su Yun wouldn’t have revealed the Devour Heaven Demonic Art, wouldn’t have drawn the Astrologer’s attention.
She could’ve continued to pretend to be loyal, and quietly help poison Su Yun on behalf of Xiao Qingchen.
Now, she gained nothing, while Su Yun had acquired a destiny far better than in the previous life.
Lin Ying’er bit her lip in despair. “For an outsider… was it really worth it?”
Xi Yaoyue said gently, “He is my son.”
“You mistake illusion for truth. Since your eyes are useless, you don’t need them anymore.”
“You believe every rumor. So your ears have no use either.”
“And your lying tongue—it should no longer harm others.”
Without even sparing another glance, she picked up Su Yun and stepped onto a cloud to leave. “Yun’er, let’s go home.”
A mere maid wasn’t worth doing it herself.
Lin Ying’er screamed in terror, backing away. “No—don’t come near! Don’t!”
But with the guards surrounding her, there was no escape.
…
Su Yun woke up the next day.
He felt himself lying in something soft. He sniffed—there was a light floral fragrance.
Rustle.
Su Yun turned his head and saw a face that could topple the world.
Silky black hair draped over soft shoulders, a few strands falling onto his face. They didn’t itch—they gave him a sense of peace.
How long had it been since he last slept in his mother’s arms?
Xi Yaoyue had burned her Essence Blood and was also very weak.
After personally cleaning Su Yun, she had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.
Even in unconsciousness, her soft white hands gently patted Su Yun’s back.
Su Yun looked at this most beautiful woman of the Tianyuan Realm and shifted comfortably in her embrace.
Ever since Xi Yaoyue was crowned the most beautiful woman in the Tianyuan Realm, the ranking itself was abolished.
Before, people would be curious to compare the second and third beauties.
But after Xi Yaoyue appeared, anyone who looked at others only felt disappointment. The difference was too vast—they didn’t belong on the same list.
From then on, the Tianyuan Realm had only one supreme beauty.
Others were categorized: the most beautiful in the Eastern Wasteland, in the Western Region, or in Tianxin City…
And Su Yun now lay contentedly in the arms of the Tianyuan Realm’s number one beauty, basking in her full affection.
[Ding!]
A system notification rang in his ear.
[Xi Yaoyue’s death dealt you a heavy blow.]
[You shattered the Tianyuan Realm along with her favorite Crimson Moon Flowers, just to honor her memory.]
[Redemption begins with small acts. Please find the last remaining Crimson Moon Flower in the broken world and offer it to your mother.]
[Mission Difficulty: Extremely High]
[Mission Reward: Imperial Qi-Gazing Technique]
Su Yun’s expression turned strange.
Mission difficulty: extremely high?
In the plot, Su Yun had pulverized the entire Tianyuan Realm.
After falling into darkness, his mother died of grief.
To honor her, he destroyed everything she had experienced, everything she liked, everything she hated—he buried it all with her.
A world without her was meaningless.
The Crimson Moon Flowers too were buried, along with the entire domain.
Those cultivators who barely escaped were too desperate to even carry a single seed of a low-tier spiritual herb.
Finding a surviving Crimson Moon Flower in a shattered, burning world?
Impossible!
“But…”
Su Yun turned his head and looked out through the carved window, seeing the flower garden glowing brilliantly.
A vibrant surge of spiritual energy rose into the sky, forming radiant clouds.
Crimson Moon Flowers—his mother’s favorite—covered most of the garden.
“This mission… is way too easy.”
Su Yun grumbled internally, carefully climbing out of bed and tiptoeing toward the door.
His body still felt heavy; he was still adapting to his new physique.
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, Su Yun gagged and vomited out a shining bone.
“This is… the Supreme Sacred Bone?” He recognized the intricate runes and had a rough idea.
Buzz!
The bone emitted a soft glow. It looked incredibly aggrieved… and scared.
Su Yun understood at once. “Oh, you got kicked out by the Dao Bone.”
The Primordial Dao Bone… was two full grades higher than the Supreme Sacred Bone.
And we’re not talking about realms—those can still be caught up to.
But a difference in grade? That’s like a mayfly reaching for the heavens.
A single realm might have several Sacred Bones… but across all worlds, you might not find even one Dao Bone.
Just yesterday, after the merger, the Primordial Dao Bone hadn’t even bothered with this lesser bone.
And the moment Su Yun woke up, it kicked it right out.
