Three Thousand Dao Prefectures.
Central Holy Prefecture, the Immortal Ye Family.
A burst of seven-colored divine radiance rose from the ancestral shrine of the Ye Family, accompanied by myriad heavenly manifestations and a resonant humming of the Great Dao.
True dragons and great phoenixes soared through the heavens to split the earth, while saints of the heavens held scriptures and chanted.
This scene instantly shocked the entire Central Holy Prefecture.
"Hahaha, my grandson Ye Xiao possesses the bearing of a Great Emperor!!"
Before the ancestral shrine, Ye Zhantian, the patriarch of the Ye Family, dressed in a gilded long robe with white hair and an aged face, laughed loudly.
Today was the day for Ye Xiao, the first-sequence heir of the Ye Family's main branch, to enter the ancestral shrine and awaken his bloodline talent.
Although no one knew at this moment what kind of talent Ye Xiao had awakened, this heavenly phenomenon alone was enough to shock the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures and countless clans.
"Hum."
At that moment, a humming sound suddenly came from the ancestral shrine.
A youth in white stepped out, draped in rosy light, his immortal face framed by a hair crown like a young immortal, glowing brilliantly.
"Greetings, Young Master."
In an instant, the entire Ye Family was in an uproar.
Numerous Ye Family elders and clansmen bowed and shouted, their expressions devout.
Only Ye Zhantian wore a stunned expression, looking Ye Xiao up and down, and finally fixing his gaze on his pair of pupils.
"Double Pupils?!"
At this moment, a trace of shock and disappointment clearly flickered in the eyes of the old patriarch of the Ye Family, extremely complicated.
Originally, he thought that with Ye Xiao's talent, he would at least awaken a Holy Body or Divine Physique.
At the very least, it should have been a saint bone, yet he had awakened a pair of Double Pupils?
"Xiao'er, you have just awakened your talent. Perhaps the battle for the Divine Child should be postponed for a few days."
Ye Zhantian sighed. The Double Pupils were not weak. On the contrary, according to the historical records of the Ye Family, the Double Pupils were one of the most mysterious and powerful bloodline talents.
It was just that this pair of unusual pupils grew stronger only as one's cultivation realm increased. Given Ye Xiao's current realm, relying solely on the Double Pupils talent would make it difficult to contend with the various holy body and saint bone lineages.
"The Double Pupils are already an invincible path. Why postpone the struggle for the Divine Child?"
Ye Xiao's expression was gentle and calm, faint clear radiance lingering in his pupils as myriad phenomena surged.
"The Double Pupils are already an invincible path?"
Hearing this, the old face of Ye Zhantian trembled, his mind violently shaken.
Tsk tsk tsk, listen to that. Tsk tsk tsk, with such a state of mind, isn't this way more badass than any Holy Body or Divine Physique?
"Since you have this kind of Dao Heart, Grandpa can rest easy."
Ye Zhantian nodded, his expression gradually turning solemn. "Xiao'er, there is something I want to tell you."
"Send a letter of annulment to the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty and break off your engagement with Gu Mingyue."
"Huh? Why?"
Ye Xiao frowned slightly. He had never even met Gu Mingyue, let alone harbor any fondness for her.
However, he had heard a few things about the title of this immortal dynasty's Empress.
The number one beauty of the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures, the number one proud daughter, and the youngest empress of the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty.
What could Ye Zhantian possibly be unsatisfied with regarding such a granddaughter-in-law?
"She suffered a deviation in her cultivation, her meridians are completely shattered, and her cultivation is now ruined."
As Ye Zhantian's voice fell, Ye Xiao's gaze grew cold, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa, what did you say?"
"Gu Mingyue's cultivation is ruined; she is no longer worthy of you. Rest assured, Grandpa has already picked out several proud daughters of heaven from other Dao Prefectures for you. They all possess immortal faces and divine postures, and among them is even a pair of twin sisters who will certainly satisfy you."
"Double Pupils, ruined cultivation, breaking off an engagement... Hiss..."
What the hell!!
I knew that ever since I transmigrated, this path to immortality had been too smooth and without setbacks, nothing like the hardships experienced by a so-called "Heavenly Mandate protagonist"!
Double Pupils and a broken engagement—isn't this unmistakably a villain setup?!
This Gu Mingyue is definitely a Daughter of Heavenly Mandate, and a major one at that.
"This engagement cannot be broken."
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.
As everyone knew, a person of the Heavenly Mandate having their cultivation completely ruined was only temporary.
Once Ye Xiao broke off the engagement, it would successfully arouse Gu Mingyue's hatred, ultimately becoming the first small climax after she restored her cultivation.
What did Gu Mingyue lack the most right now?
Love!!
What we need to do, of course, is to give her plenty of that pure, white, and thick... love.
"Xiao'er, what did you say?"
Ye Zhantian's old face trembled, feeling that Ye Xiao seemed somewhat unusual today.
"I said, this engagement will not be broken!"
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, his tone resolute.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking the plot setup and binding the Myriadfold Return of Fortune System.]
[From now on, as long as the host breaks the villain setup and binds with a Heavenly Mandate person, you will receive a myriadfold reward return.]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully downloading the system. Rewards: 1. Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art (can devour any divine physique or holy body in the world to forge the strongest demonic body of the heavens: Myriad Transformation Demon Body); 2. Zhou Tian Derivation Technique, perfectly concealing any aura.]
[The system detects the first Daughter of Heavenly Mandate: Gu Mingyue.]
[Golden Finger: Nirvana Seal (seals cultivation; can be broken in three years, leading directly to the Supreme Realm).]
[Host choice: Bind / Do Not Bind]
Hearing the system voice ringing in his ears, Ye Xiao's heart instantly stirred with endless ripples.
The good news was that after waiting eighteen years, his Golden Finger had finally arrived—Big Brother System, the father among Golden Fingers.
The bad news was that this father came with a pure villain setup.
Three years!!
Did you think this was the unsealing time for the Nirvana Seal?
This is my lifespan, damnit!
Damn it!
Yet soon, Ye Xiao calmed down.
Since the function of this system was to break the villain setup and return myriadfold rewards,
doesn't that mean as long as he bound himself to these Heavenly Mandate individuals, he could trigger system rewards and continuously fleece them like sheep?
Isn't this purely a welfare provider? Not only is it useful, but it's also a lot of fun.
"Bind!"
[Congratulations to the host for binding with the first Daughter of Heavenly Mandate. Obtained 1% Fortune Blessing. When the Fortune Blessing reaches 100%, the Heavenly Mandate Villain System will be fully unlocked.]
"Xiao'er, where are you going?"
"To the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty."
Ye Xiao stepped forward and headed directly toward the Xuantian Dao Prefecture.
According to the development of the plot, Gu Mingyue's cultivation was sealed at this moment, and she would certainly encounter numerous crises.
He was afraid that the slightest delay would cause this future Supreme to shout that classic quote that resounded across the universe and shocked the Nine Heavens:
"There is no need to stay in this Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty any longer!!"
And then, it would probably be the three-year deadline that everyone was familiar with.
Hiss...
