"Some people" thinking themselves clever probably figured out the answer.
"Then again, if that's the case, how did I even come to be?"
"I'm a boy, after all!"
"Taking the first possibility, there's no way I could have a Y chromosome."
"Yet if I do have a Y chromosome, I must carry the bloodline of that good-for-nothing father—which completely contradicts what the old man said!"
"Ah! So annoying!"
"Whatever, I've transmigrated for crying out loud, why am I still trying to apply scientific logic to this?!"
"This damn place isn't about scientific cultivation..."
The infant shook his head, looking around his surroundings.
"He is my child, and mine alone!"
Ying Hongyi replied. It sounded selfish, but it was brimming with doting affection.
"Indeed. Why not give the child a name?"
The Third Ancestor of the Imperial Tribulation understood.
He smiled and carefully handed the baby over to Ying Hongyi using spiritual energy.
Seeing the infant's enlarged ink-black pupils in her arms looking thoroughly endearing, everyone watched in hopeful anticipation without speaking.
"Wúyī! This child is called Yìng Wúyī! He is the child of me, Ying Hongyi!"
"Hahaha, wonderful! Good! Excellent! Wúyī! From this day forth, no one shall stand against him! My Ying Clan is destined to walk an invincible path once again!"
"Hmph! Don't speak too soon! Don't forget that Xiāochóu's child hasn't been born yet!"
"This time, my Ying Clan will surely defeat every enemy in this world! Hahaha!"
...
"Such a proud child of heaven—he truly is Wúyī!" Yìng Zhédào could not help exclaiming in admiration and longing.
He then bowed deeply to the Third Ancestor of the Imperial Tribulation and said:
"The reason I acted rashly today, Third Ancestor, is that Wúyī's sworn-killer tribulation never descended."
Upon hearing this, the Third Ancestor of the Imperial Tribulation fell into deep thought.
"The Heavenly Mandate's sworn-killer tribulation is also known as the Heaven-Loathed Demonic Tribulation, meant for the Heavenly Dao to purge unreasonable anomalies from the world."
"Humanity values the harmony of Yin and Yang, of mutual complement and generation!"
"Yet little Hongyi gave birth to Wúyī all by herself, which inherently defies the ethical laws of the Great Dao!"
"On top of that, she used the Six Emperors' Arts and one Immortal Scripture as assistance, combining countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to elevate his innate constitution and four-fold attributes. How terrifying must Wúyī's talent be?"
"How could the Heavenly Dao simply turn a blind eye and let this go..."
"Even though our Ying Clan holds sway over the Ancient Immortal Domain, this is still..."
To put it bluntly, though it sounded strange:
When it came to this Heavenly Dao, forget about a thunder tribulation—there wasn't even a single cloud of thunder. Did they really skip every procedural step?
It was utterly bizarre!
While everyone fell silent, the infant Yìng Wúyī, being held in arms, was dumbfounded!
"Huh???"
"I don't have a dad? I don't have a damn dad?! What kind of nonsense is this?"
"No wonder I couldn't explain it scientifically... Wait, no! This can't be explained by science either!!!"
"And why are you all acting like this is no big deal, hey?!"
"Is this really a world of cultivation?"
"I was being too naive before..."
???
At that moment, the Third Ancestor spoke up:
"When Wúyī was born, only constitutional anomalies appeared. There was neither thunder punishment nor any heavenly phenomena, and even this old man cannot sense this little fellow's aura."
"One would think that among the Three Thousand Constitutions, even the Nihility Physique, the Dao-Forsaken Sinful Physique, or the 'Karmic Flawless Physique' cannot compare to him."
The elders had harbored similar guesses beforehand, but the actual manifestation of Yìng Wúyī's constitution differed from their speculations. Given the special circumstances, they ultimately remained uncertain.
The Third Ancestor continued:
"During the Remote Immortal Era, there was a book titled *Records of the Mountain and Sea Illusions*, which recorded strange legends and hidden secrets of the Great Thousand Worlds. It was written by us, the Nine Ancestors of Remote Immortal!"
"One of its volumes documented various eccentric innate constitutions."
"The one that matches Wúyī the most is called: Flawless Nihility!"
"According to the records and descriptions, this talent is untouched by karma, unrecognized by the Great Dao, and forgotten by time. Because of this, it can achieve eternal life without dying, and it will never age!"
"However, the truth and falsehood of what is recorded in this book are difficult to distinguish."
"These constitutions exist only like dream shadows within fantasy; they have never truly appeared in the world. Most of them are merely derivations of strange imaginations, meant for casual conversation—otherwise, what would be the point of our cultivation?"
"Yet judging by the current situation, Wúyī's talent certainly does not fall among the Three Thousand Constitutions. It would seem it must be that illusory constitution after all!"
Ultimately, the Third Ancestor delivered this earth-shattering conclusion.
Swish!
Except for Yìng Wúyī, everyone present was shaken to the core.
After a moment, the First Elder looked at the Third Ancestor and asked in bewilderment:
"Could Wúyī's constitution rank in the top five of the Three Thousand?"
The Third Ancestor shook his head and replied:
"This illusory constitution is akin to various strange specters. There is an innate constitution called the Myriad-Leak Dao Law Physique; those who possess it are immune to all DAOS from birth, immortal and indestructible. Legend has it that even a Heavenly Emperor cannot harm them in the slightest!"
"Yet the possessor of such an innate constitution can forever maintain only the appearance they had at birth, and others cannot interfere. Let alone cultivation, they cannot even blink or draw a breath."
"As for 'Flawless Nihility', it also lost its qualification to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao according to the records."
"The existence of illusory constitutions has never been verified and remains unfathomable; how could they possibly be placed alongside the Three Thousand Constitutions for comparison?"
"However, if Wúyī truly possesses the Flawless Nihility recorded in the book, he can prove his Dao across eternity even without the Mandate of Heaven!"
The Third Ancestor added.
"With infinite lifespan, even a pig could prove its Dao if it knew how to cultivate," Yìng Wúyī thought, steadying his emotions as he rolled his eyes.
Having listened for so long, Yìng Wúyī finally cleared his head completely. He looked with complicated emotions at the mother holding him, while also gaining a very clear understanding of his own constitution.
Yes, Yìng Wúyī knew what his innate constitution was!
Not only that, but in the depths of his mind, he possessed not only a companion cultivation technique, but also a Supreme scripture from that ancient hall!
Everything in that ancient hall felt like a heritage, deeply engraved in the very depths of his soul!
My young master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading, the rest is even more wonderful!
Yet the rest of them knew nothing of this.
At that moment, the Fourth Elder, Yìng Xiàoyǔ, casually remarked, "In that case, wouldn't my Ying Clan potentially produce two Supreme taboos?!"
...
At this thought, the elders in the hall could not close their mouths from laughing, overwhelmed with excitement!
Looking at the baby in Hongyi's arms, they stared fixedly as if gazing upon a peerless treasure.
With a wave of his large sleeve and his Dao robe fluttering, the Third Ancestor of the Imperial Tribulation glanced at Patriarch Yìng Zhédào and said with a ruddy complexion:
"This child cannot be nurtured like an ordinary Supreme prodigy; absolutely nothing must go awry! He shall be conferred as Dao Child and ranked among the taboos! If necessary, you may come to the Longevity Ancestral Shrine—we do not begrudge these bodies of ours!"
"We strictly obey the Third Ancestor's decree!"
Yìng Zhédào and the others cupped their fists in salute, while Ying Hongyi beside them also nodded slightly.
The elders could be said to be in complete agreement with the Third Ancestor's words. As for the opinions of the other disciples?
Heeheehee!
That would be Yìng Wúyī's concern.
The Ying Clan of the Ancient Immortal Domain would select seven of the most talented Holy Sons and Holy Maidens from among tens of thousands of young disciples.
If no prodigy emerged, a contemporary Dao Child or Dao Maiden would be chosen from among those seven Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
But during such a golden era of prosperity, a Dao Child and a Dao Maiden would be selected simultaneously.
Once everyone had reached a consensus, they all turned to look at Patriarch Yìng Zhédào.
They saw Yìng Zhédào channeling his spiritual energy and flipping his right hand. The archaic Patriarch token of the Ying Clan appeared and hovered in his palm, faintly radiating imperial might!
"Now, by my authority as Patriarch, I proclaim:"
"The son of Great Emperor Hongyi—Yìng Wúyī, shall serve as the contemporary Dao Child of the Yìng Clan!!!"
"Conferred as an Eternal Taboo Sequence, with the title—Abyss!!!"
"Congratulations to Great Emperor Hongyi on the successful birth of her son!!!"
"Thus it is decreed!!!"
Empowered by the Patriarch token, Yìng Zhédào's voice carried from the Qianníng Palace to every corner of the Ancient Immortal Domain.
Even a few coffins within an unknown forbidden land of the Ying Clan trembled slightly.
Swish—!!!
"Congratulations to Great Emperor Hongyi on the successful birth of her son!"
The members of the Ying Clan first echoed the proclamation together, and then began to buzz with noise.
"It seems another Supreme prodigy has appeared, actually able to enter the ranks of the taboos. How many eras has it been since that last happened? I just wonder what his constitution is!" said an elder of the clan.
"Looks like someone won't be able to sit still now. Which one belongs to your branch?" asked another elder.
"Hehe! That's a matter for the youngsters. Come, come! Let's just focus on our game of chess!" With that, he placed another stone.
...
Back in Qianníng Palace, the Third Ancestor gave a few instructions, and before leaving, handed Yìng Wúyī a few "little trinkets" before hurrying back into his coffin.
Now was not yet the time for him to wake up; this trip likely cost him another few thousand years of lifespan.
The elders in the hall also brought out many fine treasures as congratulatory gifts: Archaic Void Dragon blood, Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Fruit...
The First Elder prepared a Quasi-Emperor Level defensive armor—the Heavenly Emperor Purple Seal Armor!
The Patriarch brought a Quasi-Emperor sword—Tianyan!
Ying Hongyi stored all the items into a storage ring for her son, and the elders wiped away the relevant memories of the maidservants and midwives before taking their leave so as not to disturb them further.
...
Ten maidservants stood quietly outside the hall on guard, while inside, Ying Hongyi gazed with infinite tenderness at the son in her arms.
"My precious Abyss, remember this well! No matter what choice you make in the future, your mother will stand behind you and sweep away all your enemies!"
"My precious Abyss!"
With that, she took out a garment. It had a white base tinged with a faint red, glowing with divine light!
"I made this with my own hands. Put it on! Let me have a look."
Having spoken, she dressed Yìng Wúyī in it.
As soon as Yìng Wúyī put it on, he felt a rush of refreshing comfort seep into his soul, and the size fit him perfectly.
That sensation was far beyond anything clothing from his past life could compare to!
Emperor Level—Crimson-Veined Chenyang Robe!
Feeling Ying Hongyi's maternal love, Yìng Wúyī's mind calmed down thanks to the garment's effects, and he accepted reality.
"Top-tier background, invincible talent, supreme cultivation techniques, an unknown ancient hall..."
"The future! It really is quite exciting!"
