Volume 14, Chapter 935 – So Excited She Nearly Lost Her Mind

“The power of time? But isn’t that something that surpasses the Five Elements and the dual forces of yin and yang? I’m afraid even in the Immortal Realm, few can control it, let alone here in our cultivation world.”

Han Yurou’s elegant brows furrowed slightly.

“Do you still remember what I told you before about the ancestral Chaotic Corpse?”

Han Qianyang reminded.

“I remember. Countless ages ago, near Jinguang Planet, a dangerous spatial anomaly suddenly appeared in the surrounding cosmos. Within it, space and time were in complete chaos, yin and yang were reversed, and anyone who entered would either vanish instantly, age rapidly, or revert to childhood. Though it was perilous beyond reason, many cultivators, in pursuit of strength or reversing their age, still risked their lives to enter. None ever returned. It wasn’t until the River of Time gradually erased the mysterious power inside that people finally discovered a corpse lying within. It was the power leaking from that body that had created the chaotic space, thus it came to be known as the Chaotic Corpse.”

Han Yurou’s red lips parted gently as she slowly recounted the tale.

“Exactly. Such a powerful Chaotic Corpse, even after losing most of its strength, was still an extremely precious material for refining tools. That’s why cultivators at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm in our Muyi Star System fought desperately over it. In the end, it landed in the hands of the Xie family’s ancestor from Tianyan Planet.”

Han Qianyang picked up where she left off. The “Muyi Planet” he spoke of referred to a massive planet orbited by Jinguang Planet. That planet had dozens of moons, one of which was Tianyan Planet. It, too, housed a powerful cultivation world. Due to the close proximity, cultivators from Jinguang Planet and Tianyan Planet frequently interacted.

“Later on, an Immortal ancestor of our Han family used Soul Resonance to send a message to our great-great-grandfather, saying that the corpse was actually the remains of our Han family’s founder, Han Zhao. He told us we must find a way to reclaim our ancestor’s body.”

Han Yurou added.

“Correct. Ancestor Han Zhao was a mighty being whose power shook the heavens. He wasn’t merely an Immortal, he was a Celestial. Even in the Celestial Realm, he dominated his region. That was all thanks to his mastery of the domain of time. But precisely because of that, he incurred the envy of the Heavenly Emperor, who framed him with false charges. The Heavenly Court pursued him relentlessly. In the end, he perished in a lower world. The battle shattered the spatial barriers, causing his body to fall into the cosmos near Jinguang Planet, thus forming that chaotic region.”

Han Qianyang repeated what he had told his granddaughter in the past and added, “But although he died, his Dao did not dissipate. An Immortal ancestor in the Celestial Realm once said, as long as we drip Immortal bloodline onto Ancestor Han Zhao’s body, we can awaken the domain of time. At that point, returning to the past or leaping into the future would no longer be a dream. That’s why he insisted we must retrieve the corpse.”

“Indeed. Going back in time could restore youth, and reaching the future could lead to instant growth in strength. The value is beyond imagination. And since he was our Han family’s founder, emotionally and morally, we are bound to bring his body home.”

Han Yurou nodded instinctively.

“Alas, over all these years, our Han family has made countless requests to the Xie family for the body, yet not only do they refuse, they even go so far as to cut pieces off our ancestor’s flesh to forge magical weapons and arm their own clan members. They’re nothing but bandits.”

Han Qianyang’s gaze turned icy.

“The Xie family is the top cultivation clan on Tianyan Planet. Their strength exceeds ours. Naturally, they won’t just comply with our requests.”

Han Yurou also took a deep breath and then, with a look of shock, asked, “Grandfather… You’re not thinking of stealing the ancestor’s body to break through the spatial barrier using the time domain, are you?”

“No. The Xie family patriarch has hidden the corpse in a place no one knows. So, we can’t take it by force, nor can we steal it. We can only trade.”

Han Qianyang shook his head.

“Trade?”

Han Yurou looked puzzled.

“Yes. Use a member of the Xie family to exchange. He might be able to hide a dead body, but he can’t hide a living person. As far as I know, among the Xie family juniors, only one has awakened the Immortal bloodline, correct?”

Han Qianyang asked.

“Yes, his name is Xie Yu.”

Han Yurou answered reflexively.

“Why do you know that so clearly? We’re talking about the Xie family of Tianyan Planet. It’s ten thousand miles away from us here on Jinguang Planet.”

Han Qianyang teased.

“Uh…”

A trace of embarrassment crossed Han Yurou’s delicate face.

“That kid has been secretly pursuing you, hasn’t he? Don’t think I, your grandfather, don’t know everything.”

Han Qianyang smiled playfully.

“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just… I have no feelings for him, so I thought it unnecessary to mention.”

Han Yurou quickly explained.

“That’s right. You’re focused on cultivation. One day you’ll attain immortality, and then there’ll be no more sorrow from love or loss.”

Han Qianyang looked approvingly at her and continued, “Besides, that brat already has multiple wives and concubines, and he still has the nerve to chase you? Shameless. A man like that is not marriage material.”

“I know.”

Han Yurou nodded repeatedly and then guessed, “So you plan to secretly capture Xie Yu to exchange for the ancestor’s body?”

“You overestimate your grandfather. That boy is the Xie family’s top talent. He’s certainly protected by the Immortal Stele. Even at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, I can’t touch him.”

Han Qianyang shook his head. “I’m going after his mother.”

“His mother?”

Han Yurou was completely caught off guard.

“That’s right. The Immortal Stele’s protection is incredibly rare and valuable. His mother certainly doesn’t qualify to be named on it, though her status remains high thanks to her son. Add to that the Xie family’s lowered guard toward us… she is, without a doubt, the best target. When the time comes, I’ll see whether they value our ancestor’s corpse more or their prized genius’s mother.”

“But… even if you capture her, do we really have the strength to negotiate with the Xie family? They’re backed by the Immortal Stele.”

Han Yurou hesitated but still voiced her doubts.

“They won’t know it was me. I’ll disguise myself thoroughly and negotiate with them under another identity.”

Han Qianyang revealed his plan.

“Grandfather, what if… we try negotiating with them directly? The Xie family has two Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts as well; maybe we can ask them to help break the spatial barrier. We’ll use our Immortal bloodline to activate the domain. Everyone ascends together—wouldn’t that be a win-win?”

Han Yurou suggested after a moment’s thought.

“You’re too naive. How can we trust a bunch of shameless thieves like the Xie family? If they go back on their word, our Han family’s descendants will become their prey. That’s why, for generations, our family has kept this secret tightly guarded. You must never reveal to anyone that the time domain can be reactivated.”

Han Qianyang warned sternly.

“I understand.”

Han Yurou nodded solemnly, then reminded, “You must be extremely careful, Grandfather. The Xie family is powerful and backed by the Immortal Stele.”

“I won’t confront them head-on. With your grandfather’s cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, do you think I can’t handle a single woman?”

Han Qianyang smiled with confidence. “Once we get the ancestor’s body, I’ll immediately shatter the spatial barrier. After that, what’s the Immortal Stele of the Xie family to me? Old scores and new grudges… I’ll settle them all together.”

Han Yurou hesitated but remained silent, her expression grave. She knew that whether the plan succeeded or not, blood would surely be shed.

“Although the Han family appears to be an Immortal clan, the loss of our Immortal Stele has left us in name only. I must leave behind a new stele to protect you and the future generations of the Han family.”

Han Qianyang declared with resolute eyes.

That same day, a teleportation gate appeared near a major town on Jinguang Planet. Qi Huang stepped out with her husband, wife, and maidservant.

“Looks like we’re not too late.”

Qi Huang glanced around and spoke.

“What should we do next, Young Mistress?”

An Xuan asked from the side.

“What else? Find a comfortable place to settle in and wait for the Great Purge.”

Qi Huang waved her tiny hand.

The three women exchanged glances, then relaxed and followed her.

Thus, Qi Huang and the three women settled in a nearby town. In just a few days, they had a rough understanding of the situation on Jinguang Planet, including the matter of the Han ancestor’s corpse.

“Holy hell, a peerless powerhouse who mastered the time domain actually died in this world.”

Qi Huang couldn’t help gasping in shock upon hearing the story.

“What a pity. If the domain of time within that corpse still exists, we could gain a massive windfall on this trip.”

Life Soul Cheng Hongling sighed regretfully.

“Exactly. Last time, Qianqian’s thirty-year time domain gave me an enormous power boost. If I enter the domain of someone like this… I’d be stepping on the Heavenly Dao itself in minutes.”

Qi Huang sighed too.

Maybe it was due to her unwillingness to miss out—after that, she began closely observing every move Han Qianyang and his granddaughter made. Very quickly, she discovered the secret: the time domain could be reactivated using blood essence.

She was so excited, she nearly lost her mind.
