Beidou Ancient Star,
Donghuang, Ji Family,
A little girl of four or five sat barefoot on a smooth white stone, next to a lake
The lake was like a mirror of flowing jade, its surface shimmering with faint immortal radiance. Wisps of spiritual mist coiled above it, carrying a fragrance so pure that a mortal inhaling it would feel their lifespan subtly nourished.
The girl's eyes looked dazed and her small feet dangled lazily.
Splash.
A few drops of divine spring water scattered into the air, glittering like broken starlight before falling back into the pool.
Behind her stood an elderly attendant in gray robes. His cultivation was unfathomable to ordinary people, his aura restrained and profound. Yet at this moment, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably
The Divine Spring of Life…
It was a treasure obtained by the Void Great Emperor of their clan after attaining enlightenment from the Forbidden Area. Endless treasures were later used to nourish this lake in front of them. So compared ordinary Divine Spring, it is more precious. Ordinary cultivators would never see it in their entire life.
But now—
It was being kicked like an ordinary pond.
The old man felt his heart ached.
This little Ancestor is really an ancestor, she kicked Divine Spring of Life with her feet.
You know Divine Spring of life can both extend the life span and increase cultivation. It is also a holy medicine for healing and building foundation the younger generation.
Countless cultivators would fight to death just for a it, making blood flow like rivers.
If they saw the wasteful behaviour of the little girl, they would probably be angered to death. .
Although the old man felt heartache, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything nor did he dare to disturb the little ancestor in his mouth.
The little girl looked bored at the lake that executed an Immortal aura and rich fragrance enough to fascinate anyone but she didn't feel good at all.
The little girl isn't an ordinary person.
In fact, as one might suspect, she is a reincarnated person and a time traveler. In her last life, she was a very wasteful and lazy person but she also had a disease of mysophobia. It was hard for her to walk outside and come into contact with people.
The most important thing is that she wasn't she in his last life but a he was a man in his last life but she is a woman in this life. She was shocked when she realised that her gender changed.
In the beginning, she was devastated. You know. he didn't even hold the hand of a girl in his last life.
But after knowing the world she had come to, she was no longer in the mood to care about little things like gender change.
She can still remember the day of her birth.
Ordinary children shouldn't be able to do it but she can indeed remember her birth,
The day she was born, she saw the extremely vast starry sky.
The boundless, ink-dark cosmos stretched in every direction. Galaxies rotated like silent whirlpools of silver sand. Stars shimmered like scattered divine crystals. Nebulae blossomed and faded in colors mortals could never name.
It was vast beyond imagination.
Yet her gaze did not linger on the stars.
It was drawn to the man standing in the void.
He stood alone in the void of the universe, yet it felt as if the entire universe revolved around him. Emperor Qi flowed like a boundless tide and the aura of Extreme made the universe tremble. Saints would shatter under a single wisp of that presence
Endless laws circled his body like celestial dragons. The great Dao resonated faintly at his presence. His figure was not enormous, yet compared to the starfields behind him, he appeared taller than heaven itself.
She did not know who he was.
She did not know why she could breathe in the vacuum of space.
She did not know why her newborn eyes could see across entire star domains and understand stuff that she shouldn't understand.
But she could feel it vaguely.
She had a blood connection with this man. In other words, he was her father.
But before she could grasp anything further—
A killing intent pierced through eternity and locked on this area of the universe.
It descended without warning.
Her body froze and her soul stiffened. In front of the terrifying killing intent, the warmth was replaced by bone-deep cold terror, making her feel she was smaller than dust..
An ancient voice sounded in the universe, calm and indifferent.
"Die."
From the void, a battle halberd emerged.
It carried Supreme laws and Dao chains of order. Chaos clung to its blade. Its edge cut through the universe as if through silk. The aura of Extreme filled the universe, countless living beings trembled.
As the halberd fell down, time and space were locked, the stars dimmed, Chaos exploded, and the whole star field seemed to be about to be destroyed.
Countless Ancient existences and Saints sensed the anomaly across the universe and they cast their gaze from beyond the starry sky.
When they saw the one standing alone in the universe as if he was the sole ruler of the entire world, they couldn't help but gasp.
Who was it? Who was so bold to attack the Great Emperor of Void. They even directly used their Emperor weapon to attack his child.
The halberd fell.
Chaos erupted.
Entire constellations flickered as though on the brink of annihilation.
Then—
A quiet sigh.
"You truly have no shame, Blood Emperor."
The words were soft.
Yet the universe stopped.
Time froze.
Eternity locked in place.
The halberd halted inches before her body, unable to advance even the width of a strand of hair.
The man stepped forward.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were colder than the void between stars.
Emperor might surged outward.
The great Dao bowed.
"My daughter has just been born," He said gently. "I will not kill you today. But this debt—I will come to collect it later."
"Heh, so your daughter is your daughter and my son isn't my son. If you can kill my family then naturally I will kill yours." The ancient existence laughed in anger and it's killing intent increased several fold, causing the star field to collapse.
"Void, yesterday's cause is today's fruit. All of this is your own fault."
The halberd trembled.
The aura of Extreme erupted again, this time even more terrifying. The void cracked. Chaos Qi surged like tidal waves. Entire galaxies dimmed.
Within distant restricted regions, ancient beings silently opened their eyes.
Across Beidou, Saints shuddered, their hearts palpitating without knowing why.
In the cosmos, the Void Great Emperor, remained motionless.
His robes fluttered lightly.
His gaze grew colder.
"Cause and effect?"
He lifted a finger.
A single finger.
Yet that finger carried the weight of eternal time.
Void laws condensed, turning into an illusory river that spanned epochs. The long river of time seemed to flow faintly behind him. The halberd's Supreme Dao chains began to snap one after another, unable to withstand the pressure of true Emperor might.
"You hid in the Forbidden Area for millions of years," Void Emperor said indifferently. "Harvesting living beings. Devouring blood essence. Extending your rotten lifespan."
"You dare speak to me of cause and effect?"
BOOM—
The finger pressed down..
The halberd wailed.
Supreme light exploded, shattering swathes of space. The figure hidden behind the weapon could no longer remain silent. A vast shadow emerged faintly within a distant restricted zone. It was ancient, decayed, yet terrifying.
"Void!" The Supreme roared. "If you dare step into the Forbidden Area, your Ji Clan will bleed for ten thousand generations!"
The Emperor's eyes were calm.
"If you dare touch her again," He replied softly, "I will flatten your Immortal Mountain."
The words were quiet.
But across the universe, countless ancient beings felt a chill pierce their Dao hearts.
This was not a threat.
It was a declaration.
The Supreme's aura fluctuated violently, yet in the end, it receded.
The halberd shattered into fragments of Supreme law and retreated across the starry sky.
The universe slowly regained its rhythm.
Stars rekindled.
Time resumed its flow.
Void Emperor lowered his hand.
He turned.
The terrifying aura vanished as if it had never existed. In its place was only warmth.
He looked at the newborn child, whose tiny body had stiffened in instinctive terror.
He stood amidst the cosmos, holding the newborn in his arms. Emperor light dimmed, no longer blazing like a sun that suppressed ten thousand Daos, but warm and restrained.
"Hehe… little one, don't be afraid," He said gently. "That old turtle doesn't dare come out.".
The Emperor Qi that suppressed the cosmos became soft like a spring breeze around her.
"As long as I stand, none shall harm you." The man held the newborn girl and said gently as if afraid of startling her.
"But really, you sucked dozens of Starfields at the moment of your birth and even sucked the laws from the mark of Tianxin and the origin of the Universe. Let me see what kind of physique are you?"
His divine sense entered her body.
Instantly—
He saw Chaos.
Not metaphorical chaos.
But true primordial chaos.
Her Sea of Suffering was not a sea, it was a boundless gray expanse where Yin and Yang had yet to divide. Clear and turbid qi swirled together. Fragments of natural Dao laws flickered within, forming and dissolving like embryonic worlds.
She has not even been formally cultivated yet she was born with the cultivation of a Great Sage. The end-point of countless geniuses is the starting point for her.
"Chaos Body, no wonder you're so domineering." The man slowly figured out the cause and effect.
He recalled the scene of her birth.
The little fellow almost sucked his wife's origin essence at the moment of his birth. Had he not acted swiftly, even his wife's origin might have been damaged.
Fortunately, his wife was a Quansi-Emperor and he, himself was a Great Emperor. So he directly crosses the starry sky and let her absorb the essence of dead star fields otherwise his wife won't be safe.
But he still never expected her to absorb dozens of star fields.
As an experiment, he brought out the mark of Tianxin to see her extraordinary nature but he didn't expect the mark of Tianxin to impart its laws and origin of the universe to her.
Maybe the Chaos Body is really loved by the Universe and even the Universe will help it grow and impart laws.
He gently touched her forehead.
"You little tyrant. Your mother and I have long since decided your name. From now on you will be called Ji Xue." The man teased the little girl, oh no, Ji Xue, and smiled.
At this moment Ji Xue finally came back to her senses.
The frozen mind and body slowly returned to normal and thoughts slowly turned.
She was locked by an emperor and killed on the day of her birth. This is a treatment that even future Wu Shi will not enjoy.
Ji Xue still hasn't figured out where she is but one thing she understood. If she wanted to be safe, she must stay with the man in front of her.
She just saw a star exploding at his touch and his mere aura caused the star field to tremble.
She didn't know why she could detect a whole fucking star field and see a star exploding from millions of miles away but in her eyes, everything was as if it was happening in front of her.
Her eyes told him that they could see but her brain refused to believe that humans could see so far.
Her past life's knowledge led her astray but seeing the power of the man in front of her, she knew she had arrived in an extraordinary world.
Time traveling isn't unacceptable and as an old two-dimensional otaku, she easily accepted this setting of traveling after sleeping.
But why does she not feel anything at the bottom?
And Ji Xue, isn't this name a bit too feminine?
Ji Xue still had to figure out the great truth or maybe she just subconsciously refuses to believe the truth.
The man held Ji Xue and took a step.
Void laws circulated beneath his feet.
With a single step, he crossed endless star fields.
Eastern Wasteland.
Ji Clan.
The day the Void Emperor succeeded on the throne, the Ji Family also became an Imperial family, and the strong people all took charge of protecting the human race.
In this dark era, restricted zone Supremes stirred. Ancient races awakened. Humanity stood on the edge of extinction.
Within the Ji Clan, no cultivator hid in safety. As long as one is successful in cultivation, no one in the Ji Family will stand in the rear
Those who rose in strength marched to the frontlines.
Blood and battle were their fate. Fighting was their way of survival.
However, today is a special day. The Ji family stopped fighting and countless Elders and Ancestors gathered in the Void Hall.
They looked at the top of the Void Hall with respect and lowered their heads to salute.
"We greet the Emperor. We greet the Princess."
"Rise."
A soft sigh and everyone was forced to get up.
Looking up, one could see a man was playing with a little girl. He looked extremely ordinary but no one dared to underestimate him.
They all know his identity. The Great Emperor of the Human Race, Void Emperor.
"The princess has been born and it is a happy event for my clan. Go and arrange a banquet. Call everyone in the family together, I will give a sermon after the banquet."
The Void Emperor looked down lightly and said.
His words were like Imperial decree and none of the Elders or the Ancestors dared to stay. They all quickly left the Void Hall to arrange the banquet.
They were very excited, not only because the princess was born but more importantly because the Emperor was going to give a sermon.
How many people are lucky enough to listen to the Emperor speaking scriptures? This is a rare opportunity, they must not miss it.
Void Emperor saw everyone leaving and he couldn't help sighing that no one except for a few close friends dared to talk to him on equal footing after he became an Emperor.
He was also tired from fighting against those Supremes and wanted to chat with someone but even those friends had scruples. The only ones he could truly open up with were his wives.
"Daoyan, you're tired." A beautiful woman like a fairy walked into the Void Hall and said with a hint of sadness.
"I am not tired Caiji. I am just thinking about something." Void Emperor or Ji Daoyan shook his head, indicating his wife didn't need to worry.
Shen Caiji looked at her husband and the sadness in her heart grew but she knew she couldn't do anything to share his burden except for giving him a pure land to return.
Her strength is simply not enough to face those Restricted Area Supremes.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Shen Caiji looked at Ji Xue in Ji Daoyan's arms and reached out her hand to take her.
"Has Sister Lingling finally given birth? She conceived for more than twenty years and I was really worried about her."
Shen Caiji gently caressed Ji Xue and motherly brilliance floated on her face.
"She is Chaos Body, it's natural to conceive for a long time."
Ji Daoyan felt the time of pregnancy was normal otherwise how could the birth of Chaos Body at the level of Great Sage be easy?
"Chaos Body"
Shen Caiji was shocked and she quickly checked Ji Xue's body.
"Hiss, Great Sage!" She drew in a sharp breath, her beautiful eyes trembling.
A Great Sage.
Born as a Great Sage.
Even in the ancient eras recorded in the clan's forbidden scriptures, such a phenomenon had never appeared.
The Void Hall fell silent.
Ji Xue lay in her arms, blinking innocently, her dark pupils reflecting faint threads of chaotic light. She looked soft and harmless like an ordinary child who had yet to learn to walk.
Yet within that tiny body flowed power enough to suppress Saints.
"Chaos Body is really extraordinary." Shen Caiji took back her divine power and sighed.
She was from a Goddess Clan in the Starry Sky and she was also a Divine Body. But compared to the Chaos Body, she was nothing.
Ordinary physiques can only practice step by step but Ji Xue is directly born as a Great Sage.
"But Daoyan being born as a Great Sage may not be a good thing for her. It will be hard for her to attain Enlightenment."
"I know what you mean. To stand at the end of countless geniuses' paths the moment one opens their eyes… is both fortune and calamity."
He did not fear her strength. What he feared was stagnation.
The Chaos Body was too domineering. If left unchecked, her Dao would mature prematurely. A fruit that ripens too quickly is easily bruised by the winds of time.
"So I will cut off and seal her origin. She will loose her cultivation but this origin will slowly norish her body and lay the most solid foundation for her future enlightenment."
"It's good to know. Now go and see Sister Lingling, She has been waiting for you. Take Ji Xue with you too."
Shen Caiji handed Ji Xue back to Ji Daoyan.
"By the way, I haven't given you a gift. You can take this piece of Void Immortal gold as your gift."
Shen Ceiji suddenly remembered something and took out a piece of Immortal gold filled with mysterious aura and the laws of Void.
The Void Immortal Gold automatically flew out and entered Ji Xue's Sea of Suffering and was sealed by Shen Caiji. When Ji Xue reached a higher level, she could refine this Void Immortal Gold into her Taoist Weapon.
